YOUTHS HOLD ANSWERS
TO NATIONS PROBLEMS

BY w. H. Bremen
Militant Youths Movement in
politics now is getting mention in
the press and it is hoped you give
them a friendly word, since it is
not fair to youths to state, such
movements have caused forcible
outbreaks and a great deal Of
trouble" 1t is true, but not in this
country.
You see the telling Of this in this
way needs to be smoothed, for the
youths I have urged to take active
part in politics, we're college gradu-
ates and if men and women of such
an age and training are not safe, we
really are headed for dictatorship
or worse. I say they are our best
minds.
Some fine men urge youths to
help set things right. Soon, one
of the noted educators will invite
and urge them. DR.. Cadman urges
them to help. Many do. I hope you
will write a friendly invitation for
them to help.

DEMOCRATS ARE WORRYING
FOR THE REPUBLICANS
BY H. G. N.

BY H. G. N.
I see for the last few weeks you
have dug up the Ratchet that was
buried in the last congress. Well,
I really think that you Democrats
are worrying more about the Re-
publicans than we are about our
selves.
1t is sure cheap newspaper propa-
ganda that you are bringing out to
defeat our own Arthur R. Robinson.
1t is too bad the Democrats have
no man who ever can run a good
race. Say, if you wish to get some
real good stories to print just send
reporter over into the lobby Of
the Claypool. Really, it is more
amusing than show you could ever
attend. I remember when your pa
per was called The Sun, but that
was years ago, when the good old
Republicans were in power Along
came Scripps- Howard and changed
it to The Times, because times got
so bad under Mr.. Wilson that they
thought it would sound better.
I think that it would be good
idea to have the oldest son Of every
official take up where the ruler left
off. That would be too BAD fer Mr..
McNutt, and I guess Mr.. Sullivan
also is out of luck. We are going
to have an election next fall, and
then see whose head comes off.
BY the way, Mr.. Powell, I am not
much when it comes to writing sto-
ries about politics, but say, if you
want a reporter to cover some Of
your baseball games this summer
and really put pep and comedy in
it, I would be very glad to help
you out.
I am good-natured and really
have no ill-feelings toward you or
any other Democrat.

My family and I voted for Mr.
Roosevelt. I often wonder if our
daily papers ever will get as rot
ten as our little county papers
that are agitators for the Repub-
lican party and the Democrats?
These little bladders function
with the courthouse in each
county.
They get some laws passed and
then rustic in by a tax beyond
our ability to pay by running
boycott on us, with money, like
Roosevelt is now doing all over
this country through our little
banks and federal banks. He is
bankrupting our people with
money, curtailing enterprise all
over our country, and putting out
money above moneys real value.
There are sales, income, school,
dog, automobile, drivers tax and
other taxes too numerous to men
ton. I often wonder if we are all
in hell. About 10 per cent are
living in luxury.
The President is one of the 10
per cent. He is sitting jake. while
80 per cent of the bread winning
people are eking an existence in
this fair land Of ours. If a horse
thief steals your horse, you can
shoot it out with him and get
your horse back. But if McNutt
sells your horse, your home and
your belongings, they are gone

CUBAN RECOGNITION

D EPORTS that the United States soon will
extend diplomatic recognition to the new
Mendieta government of Cuba are hopeful
We should recognize and do business with any
government which seems to be relatively
stable and which meets its international obli-
cations. This rule should apply to Cuba as
well as to any other country.
Unfortunately, we violated that rule In
falling to recognize the Grau San Martin gov
eminent The United States policy was as
much responsible as anything else for the
eventual collapse Of that Havana regime.
1t is an obvious fact that no Cuban govern
ment can live long without United States rec
IGNITION. Thus the practical effect Of con-
tinued American recognition of the tyrant
NIachado was American intervention in behalf
OF Machado.
After the fall of Machado, the American
ambassador. MIR. welles had too large part
in picking the conservative De Cespedes as
his successor. But De CeSpedes promptly was
driven out Of Office.
If. when the centrist Grau San Martin
government came into Office. the United States
had extended recognition, it could have re-
moved some OF CURSE VI lAlS IlAe'e ~
had supported NIachado until the bitter end,
and that it had hand-picked the former
NIachadist. De CespedeS Recognition of Grau
San Martin would have shown that we were
not trying to force a reactionary government
on Cuba but were willing for Cubans to run
their own show.
Now. when we recognize the conservative
and old line planter politician, Colonel Men
dieta. the cry Of Yankee dictation will go up
again in Cuba and elsewhere in Latin
America.
This is not sufficient excuse for us to with
hold recognition from Mendieta. But it does
Law upon washington an additional reason to
refrain from using Mendieta as an American
puppet. as Machado was viad; to refrain from
anv three-way alliance with Wall Street and
Nendieta. and to refrain from keeping Men
dieta in power with American influence if and
when the liberal Cuban majority tries to get
liberal government
That would be real nonintervention, the
only lust policy so far as the Cubans are con-
cerned and the only safe policy for the United
States. which has its hands full at home.

WORLD EVENTS WERE
FORECAST, SAYS WRITER

BY w. Glenn Henson and Chris NicaIOff
Regarding the Jan. Is lunation, I
would like to bring to the readers
attention a few items of interest.
Unfortunately, owing to the lack of
space, a portion of our recent ar
ticle on the probable effects of the
lunation were omitted. This portion
was of particular significance con-
sidering that it was fulfilled in it's
entirety.
The portion omitted read as fol-
lows: 'The position of the planet
Uranus adds the unexpected ele-
ment to the situation; also it has
been found to have to do with great
earthquakes, electrical storms, avia-
ton, upheavels in nature, such as
earthquakes and tidal waves. Avia-
ton will be very dangerous at this
time.
Those were. the exact words used
in the original article submitted to
The Times. Any one desiring verif1-
cation of the above will receive it
upon request to The Times.
Since the planet Jupiter is
transiting through the sign Libra,
whose key word is Justice" Jupiter
being the natural planet of the re-
hgion, we judge that there will be
upheavals in religion at this par
ticular period.
Let us examine the course Of
events which tranSpired on Jan. IS,
which necessarily would fulfill these
predictions. First, we have major
catastrophe in the form Of an
earthquake at Calcutta, India,
which was responsible for the death
of between 1900 and 10000 persons.
Then second, with regard to avia-
ton, we find that on the night Of
the fifteenth, ten persons were
killed in Corbiny, France, when
their plane crashed. Among the
dead were five prominent officials in
the French government. Those Of
you who read my previous article
will perhaps remember my state
ment that men of prominence in
the affairs of state would pass in
France, Germany, England and
Austria. Third, in the realm OF re-
ligious upheavals, we find Hitler'S
recent display of antagoniSm.

PEGLER JUST CANDLE LIGHT
TO HAYWOOD BROUN
By Edward J. Barker.

By Edward ]. Barker.
I wish to give my Endorsement to
the letter of r. E. B. anent the
Pegler column.
Before Pegler's arrival on The
Times, I was greatly interested in
your advance notices Of his wit and
wisdom, but alas and alack!
BY way of expressing my disap-
pointment, I would say that COM
pairing Pegler to Broun is like COM
pairing candle light to electric light.
Pegler has been disappointment to
me, and I think that he does not
measure up to The Times standard.
1 was confirmed in this opinion by
his recent article making cheap fun
at President Roosevelt's saving 500.
Pegler ought to hire out to the Star
or News, whose readers enjoy light
reading, poking cheap fun at the
President!
Broun is my ideal. He can point
moral and adorn a tale" such as

CALIFORNIA HELD AS
MODEL FOR INDIANA
By Guy Martin.

BY Guy Martin.
I was born in Indiana and lived
here thirty years. After the war
I went west to California, where
they have all streets and highways
paved, exempt all honorably dis
charged service men $1,000 on taxes,
and where other taxes are no higher
than here.
The last I knew gasoline taxes
were 4 cents, and yet their auto
licenses are only SO a year for pleas
ure cars, regardless Of size, weight
or horsepower. If California can do
this, why can't Indiana put a Iea-
sonable price on license tags? Is
there too much graft? If so, why
not get rid of the grafters?

TIMES CARRIES REAL
MEANING TO READER

By Times Reader
I am glad The Times is selecting
titles for the Message Center ar
ticles. 1t makes them stand out. I
want to commend Tom Berling who
wrote zone Day With A Tory" 1t
was a perfect description Of the
vice residents and presidents Of
our modern industrialism. 1t is so
true and real that it gives one a
nauseated feeling.
We people who are still barely
existing should get down on our
knees and thank the Creator for
The Indianapolis Times. Its brave
efforts are the only support that
has kept our heads above surface
this long. The newspapers SYM
pathy is always with the oppressed
and if we would work as hard and
take as many chances as it does we
would prove ourselves with more
backbone and less wishbone.

His slender silhouette stood strange

He flung his arms in the wind and
cried
Hi-ho, hi-ho, my work is done.
He followed along a lupin crested
crag,
Where stars lay hidden beneath q
silver fountain.
He summoned his cattle, and madly
assembled a steep, black noun

He paused beside the purple heather
TO hum a grave tune,
Strange, lonely lad, he snarled at

LABOR OFFERS A HAND

ONE of the strangest experiments yet pro-
" posed in the relations between capital and
labor seems to be the one recently suggested
by officials of the Cigarmakers' international
Union.
These men have proposed to cigar manu-
facturers an agreement by which the union
would provide fund of $4,000 year to adj
vertise and promote the sale of cigars In
return, they ask the manufacturers to promise
not to oppose complete unionization of the
manufacturing establishments.
Whether this suggestion ever will emerge
from the field of theory and get an actual test
in everyday life, of course, is not yet clear.
And there is room for a vast difference OF
opinion as to its advisability.
But it does point to the possibility Of new
kind of cooperation between capital and labor
"a kind which. if handled wisely, might pro-
duce considerable benefits for both sides.

ON HER CONSCIENCE

CALIFORNIA is reported anxious to- forget
~ its two celebrated affairs" the San Jose
double lynching and the Mooney Billings
scandal.
Several California organizations are de-
handing passage Of a state anti-lynching law.
A thousand San Jose church people signed q
petition calling for grand jury cleanup of
Santa Clara county. The grand jury is said
to know the identity of several persons who
led the lynch mob. Nothing happens JUS
tice-loving Californians have demanded par
dons for innocent Mooney and Billings, but
four Governors have turned deaf ears to their
pleading.
California may be anxious to forget, but
the world will not forget until her record is
wiped clean.

THE BARRETTS STAY,
FOR ANOTHER WEEK
Picture With Shearer, March
and Laughton Moves to
the Columbia.

That paragon of Victorian vices and
virtues, THE Barretts of Wimpole
Street" returned to town for its third
week yesterday, filling Loew's Column
bia with the prim horrors of Edward
Moulton-Barrett's family affections
and the romantic doings Of his daugh-
ter Elizabeth.
Charles Laughton has been widely
acclaimed for his impersonation of the
father, and they say Norma Shearer
was never more beautiful or competent
than in her role as Elizabeth.
There has been an agreeable con-
sensus on the notion that Frederic
March makes a bouncing Eddie Guest
out of Robert Browning. Nevertheless
"Barretts" Is an attractively staged
film, a brilliant story. If you do not
share certain prejudices against the
treatment given it by its major thes-
plans. few pictures will be found more
satisfying. Maureen O'Sullivan, who
has lately been developing rapidly
from a Hollywood ingenue into a gen.
uine actress, gives perhaps the most
convincing performance Of the play,
while Ralph Forbes handles nicely his
few minutes before the camera.
A short subject or two, comedy
and newsreel complete the Columbia
program. r. B. P,Jr.

makes one of his too-infrequent ap-
pearances on the silver sheet in the
role of Mr.. Cooper's accomplice. while
Carole Lombard produces what is gen.
orally known as the heart interest for
all the gentlemen concerned. Now
and Forever" Is no ball Of fire in the
dramatic line. but it is a pleasant
little story deftly told, performed by
some of the better adult thespians and
lifted out of the run of the mine by
the presence of Miss Temple, who
could make even Uncle Toms Cabin"
interesting again.
The Earle stage this week boasts
two acts which possess such popular
appeal it is difficult to say which
headlines the other. Irene BeaSley
and her songs get, we believe, the top
billing, but Barney Grants hill-billy
troupe takes an equal share of the
audience approval. Miss Beasley is
not female crooner. She has q
voice, and she uses it. but don't let
that statement frighten you into
thinking she is the equivalent of the
budding soprano at church festival.
The old appeal is there, as your radio
may have informed you, and her med
ley numbers this week give it ample
opportunity to work.
Mr.. Grant is the Al professional
hill-billy at present. working in a
field which he has studied effectively
and built up according to his own
interpretations. His company lends
entertaining support to the star.
The other acts are the Kitaros
Trio, a group of japanese jugglers and
acrobats, who are patiently adriot in
their line, and a revue featuring
Tommy Monroe, Virginia Bacon and
De Carlos and Granada.
The auxiliary program includes a
newsreel, comedy cartoon and Freddie

tuneful Bert Granoff r. B. p, Jr.

OUR favorite person in Ed Lowry's
~ very good stage show this week
at the Fox is a young lady named
Elaine Arden, and this, with that pc
rennial knockout, Eleanor Powell, on
the bill, too. Miss Arden is a muscu-
lar young lady, with "Grick' voice
who speaks plenty-good "Grick"
and, SO far as we're concerned, kept
us in stitches. She comes out on the
stage with no fanfare and before she
is through you wish she might have
the whole show to herself.
This doesn't mean, however, that
the others aren't ok. They are. Mr..
Lowry is particularly deft at NJ. Cling;
George Sidney has a few pleasant mo-
ments, doing nothing in particular
and doing it very well, and Miss Pow
ell does those same old steps with the
grace that has earned her that repu-
tation of being the best darn woman
dancer we have. There also is a
dance team, Florence and Alvarez, who
do a sort of erratic dance very seri-
ously. They come from the Cocoanut
Grove, so you know they're good. So
are Mr.. Lowry's girl dancers. And so,
we repeat, is Mr.. Lowry.
