BRAIN TRUsTER WOULD MUZzLE PRESS

Not SO long ago, when the code affecting the
newspapers of the country was under considera-
tien in Washington, a guaranty of freedom of the
press was included in the code despite statement
by the president to the effect that such guaranty
was not necessary.
A recent statement credited to Donald Richberg
chief counsel of the NRA, seems to contradict Mr.
Roosevelt's opinion and at the same time strength
ems a growing feeling throughout the country THAI
while the president is playing fair with the public
so much cannot be said for some of his advisers
and aides
Mr.. Richberg, according to David Lawrence, re-
CARDS it as undesirable that the press reflect the
changing policies of government because of the
effect of such knowledge upon a public already
'.jumpy" and bewildered as a result of prolonged
economic ill-health Richberg's attitude has large
significance because of his position in an agency
that has power of life or death. over American
business and industry.
Alarming as the Rchberg ideas may be to
American newspapermen, they may serve distinct
purpose in convincing the citizens of the country
as whole that it is time to squelch the group of
radicals in Washington who obviously striving
to centralize all power in federal bureaucracy,
even resorting to legal trickery to achieve such
an end, as in the hidden purposes of recent brain
trustfostered legislation where the real intent has
been deeply buried in devious legal verbage cooked
up by the bright boys of the Celebrating Combine

WASHINGTON HooPLANBoY SOUND OFF
AGAIN 1851.

Do you remember how every mortgaged nome
was going to be saved for the family IN a'' 'op-
huh.
Can you recall how RFC was going to proWee
money for all honest businesses in need Oh cash
to keep employment going or to increase e'''pios
ment?
You may have noted virtual acknowledgment
that the RFC failed to help all businesses in need
through discussion and squabbling over how small
businesses are to be helped, through RFC or Fed

And now we are going to see government lead

what helps one helps all, let's get going.
1t reminds us of one of those acrobatlc tun:-
bling acts in which men jump up onto each other
and are tossed around. Particularly, of one OF
those acts in which one man shouts the ALLEY
oop' or 'SHoop-la' while the others do the Jump
ing.
very little government money has helped mort
gagged homes, few big businesses and some banks
have actually had the feel of RFC cash, and some
time some small businesses may get direct loans
from the RFC or Reserve banks, maybe. So, when
it comes to home building, this great building pro-
gram, we know from experience what to expect.
"Hoopla, boys go to it." little government
money may dribble out between tight fingers to
the accompaniment of great shouts of approval IN
Washington But if any sizeable amount of home
building is going to be done, the money for it will
have to leap out of private and corporation
sources '.'

eminent money for your own mortgage, business,

ONE ANNIVERSARY WE SHOULD
REMEMBER
(BY BRUCE CATION

- Fond as we are of celebrating anniver-
saries, we let the nth anniversary of our
entrance in the World war slip by, the
other day, almost without noticing it.
The seven men remaining in Congress
who voted against the declaration of war,
on that April day in 1917, issued brief
statements saying that they, felt more sure
10" than ever that they had done the right
thing. e. .n ...
The newspapers printed brief stories re-
calling the circumstances surrounding our
declaration of war. Some of them recre-
ated the long-lost atmosphere of that time
by telling what songs, movie stars and attn
Il letic heroes were in vogue then. u"
q But we let it go at that. No speeches, no
. parades, no flags Here is one anniversary,
evidently, that we don't care to celebrate.
Seventeen years is quite long time
~ especially when they are years like the
r. last H. full of establishment and perplex-
ity. And if we feel that the entire war was
an unspeakably tragic mistake, thing
which consumed lives and treasure to no
purpose, we only share an emotion which
SS6lS " pOooCoo Oh SOSaAIAASS sAAS@S
~ part in the conflict.
For it is worth noticing that the one war
anniversary which is celebrated in all the
combatant nations is Armistice Day. Inc
people-who fought do not parade for VIC
tories or chant songs of triumph; they re-
"a member of the war only one thing worth g
~ ceremony-the day that it ended.
In that fact can be read the verdict OF
] the world on the war.
g. What good does it do to recall all this
; now? We have been disillusioned about
| the fight to save the world for democracy
K for many years, by now; why rake over
the ashes of our disillusionment again? ..
- Simply because we paid an enormously
T. high price for an object lesson in the flu
tiity of force in this modern world, and
/. we might as well make sure that the force
e. of the lesson is still sticking. "r "
The war clouds are on the horizon once
more, in Europe and in Asia. When the
rs danger of new war is rising, it might pay
: us to remember what the last war did to
rs everybody concerned.

man the office" That is true,
for the man should be so much
bigger than the office that the
job of filling it for the iob's
sake, never would appeal .t0Shim.
There should be some higher
urge than financial remuneration.
In the foregoing paragraphs, |
am not referring to the rank and
file of the workers-the clerks,
the stenographers, the bookkeep-
ers and all others who fill ap-
pointive political positions. They
are not in position to make fl
.nancial sacrifices. They should
not be expected to make such
sacrifices. They should be ade-
quately paid for their services.
But the leaders, the elected Of
ficials, should be too big to hire.
They should be patriots who go
into office solely for the purpose
of serving their country with the
full knowledge that the payroll
never can compensate them for
what they do.
At the present time, the ex-
act reverse of the principle set
forth in this article is usually
true. More often than otherwise
the men holding key POLITICAL po-
sitions are receiving more pay
than they could, get anywhere
else.
Commonly we see men striving,
fighting, begging to be elected to
political jobs solely because they
want the salaries those jobs pay
or the graft those jobs offer.

Much of the glory of the Writ investi-
cation, such as it is, has just naturally
settled down on the brow of Congressman
Bulwinker of North Carolina, forming a
noticeable halo about that noble congress
sional investigator. Bulwinker is a typical
congressional investigator, with the en-
phasis on the first syllable of his name.
Nearly all congressional investigators are
like that, and itwould be highly sugges-
tive and illuminatingly explanatory if they
were named Bull something or other.

salary commensurate with its i'm
portance. All elective political
positions should require personal
sacrifice on the part of those who
occupy them.
The people should give more
thought to the men that direct
the destinies Of government. The
people should study the require
ments Of the jobs that they arc
to fill by ballot. and they should
put in the necessary time, and
they should exert the necessary
influence to impel their best,
their finest citizens, to serve the
people unselfishly.
Yet the people should not ask
a man to starve while doing his
patriotic bit. He should be given
enough to live on.
Probably in the main, public
salaries are not too high. The
trouble is that those who get
them are often not high enough.
The people should select the
man they want and say to him:
"You are it. 1t is your turn
to do your part" And men so
drafted, should serve they should
serve honorably; and serving
honorably, they should be hon
ored.
No form of government will
run itself. There is no kind of
government that will take the
place Of ability, sincerity, pa
triotism. And any kind of gov
eminent can be made to work
right with ability, sincerity, pa
triotism.
1t is not a change of govern
ment that we need. It is change
Of public attitude toward gov
eminent that we need. Men will
do what their fellow men desire.
There is hardly man with a
soul so dead that if the people
should earnestly appeal to him,
he could refuse them.
Before this nation can ever
get Oh the right track, govern
mentally or any other way, it
will have to get the idea out of
its head that the biggest thing in
the world is money.
