State Legislatures, including his own.
which in the last year have urged
ratification of the treaties.
Green introduced to the committee
individual members of the Legislatures
Of Delaware. Maryland and North
Carolina, who came to present reSolu-
tionS from their States
Senators Austin, Republican, Of
Vermont: Walcott. Republican. of
Connecticut, and Bulkley, Democrat,
Of Ohio, offered resolutions from their
State Assemblies.
Curtis Box, Philadelphia peace ad-
vocate, said the court was now a
going concern. with 40 nations as
members and While % judgments
and IS advisory opinions had been
handed down by it in II years, not
one has lever been flouted."
Mrs Carroll Miller, Democratic ma
tional comnlitteewoman for Pennsyl-
vania, said she believed she was
speaking for the informed sentiment
of the Democratic party in asking
the prompt ratification OF the pend
ing World Court treaties without
reservation or amendment"
Margaret Buttenhetm, representing
the Womens National Committee Of
Republican Women for the World
Court. said she had found "over-
whelming agreement" with former
Secretary Stimson'S conclusion that
all the Senate's reservations had not
only been met by the Root formula.
but also that additional machinery
has been provided for preliminary
negotiations which greatly enhance
the efficacy of the reservations
themselves"
w. w. Waymack, associate editor
of the Des MoineS Register. said
QUESTIONABLE sent to 2,036 daily news
papers had brought 1857 or 81 per
cent replies ''unequivocably" for rati-
flcation 265 or IS per cent, were in
opposition: SO took no stand; IA made
answers incapable of definite CLASH
fication, and 342 did not reply.
This readiness to state a position
on a controversial question may rea-
Sonably be interpreted" he said. "as
indicating a conviction that the ques-
is now ripe for settlement and that
decision should no longer be delayed"
Tom Wallace. editor Of the Louis
vile Times, presented resolutions urg-
ing ratification on behalf of 1o5 World
Court Committees.
Fred BTenckman. legislative repre-
sentative Of the National Grange. said
the American farmer needs no un-
censored war pictures to convince
him that war should be avoided"
He said the Grange based its stand
On the conviction that only in an
international order depending upon
the application of the principles of
law for the settlement Of disputes can
there be security Of life or livelihood
for any Of our citizens"
Judge and Lawyers Concur.
Judge Joseph N. Uhlman of Balti-
more told the committee the addition
of new conditions, as proposed in the
Moses reservation, to the protocols at
this stage, when, as has been pointed
out, the protocols have been signed
and ratified by nearly all the nations
competent to do so. Is designed only
to delay and, if possible, to defeat our
adherence"
A statement presented on behalf Of
the New York State and City Bar As
sociations said lawyers were "im-
pressed with the necessity Of sustain-
ing the Permanent Court, because
they feel that its very existence is an
advance over the older method Of ap-
pointing arbitral tribunals to deal
with controversies after they have be-
come acute"

Apparently the administration Is
growing weary Of waiting. 1t recently
indorsed the Progressive Senator
Hiram johnson for reelection to the
Senate He was one of the two sup
posed to have been slated for a Su-
preme Court appointment. The other
was Democratic Floor Leader Rob-
inSon.
1t is possible the conservative JUS
tices have given no consideration
whatever to this subtle phase of the
matter. They could be staying on
merely because they like the court
atmosphere or because retirement will
cut their income from $4,000 to
$4,000 year.
Whatever the reason, the effect Is
the same (The terms conservatives
and liberals as used above carry no
political implications. They merely
descrise the divergence of the court
in the last two big cases, milk and
Minnesota m0rtgageS)
c. w. A. Wages Highest.
Striking has become so popular
that even the relief rollers are trying
1t.
In a steel town of Northwestern
Pennsylvania not long ago, workers in
the steel plant were getting 40 cents
an hour while the C. w. A. workers
were getting SO cents an hour.
Naturally, many steel icorkers
dropped their hard labor in the
mills and took soft jobs With the
C. w. A.. until the C. W. A. put
a stop to it bu reducing its iUdge
to 40 cents an hour.
The c. w. A. workers considered
this a personal affront and went on
strike. refusing to take the 40 cents
offered by the Government.
President Waves Stick.
President Roosevelt had several
switches on his desk when he started
talking to both sides in the automo-
bile strike.
Most significant was the plan to
feed strikers through the C. w. A.
1t meant the Government would
finance the strike so the workers
could hold out as long as the United
States Treasury did.
Almost as patent was the Presiden-
tial authority to license industry and
force a settlement on his own terms
if he chose.
There are good reasons for be-
lieDing the President ,teuer intend
ed to use either SUitch.
He merely displayed them signifi-
cantiy for effect.

a year. Three of the four conserva-

passed the retirement age.
Successors to tDo are supposed

Yet the conservatives do net re-

Not only that, but they write minority

legal principles involved in the New

situation in which the conservatives

What has encouraged this suspicion
is the case OF Justice McReynoldS
Last Summer the rumor got around
that he would retire at the Fall term
of court. His friends did not start the
rumor. All that COULD be found out
about the source of the rumor was
that it probably came from down
town. For the benefit of strangers
to Washington. downtown" is the
realm of the administration.
Justice McReynolds silently failed
to take notice Of the rumor. He did
not retire at the Fall term, nor dur
ing the Winter term He reached the
retirement age February 3, 1882.
For a man supposed to be cOnsid-
ering retirement. he wrote an eX-
ceedingly strong objecting opinion as
leader of the conservative minority
in the milk case.
Others Past Retirement.
His two conservative associates who
also have reached the retirement age
are Justices Sutherland October 2.

The administration may Jump the
gun on Congress by doing something
toward restoring the airmail to pri-
vate operators before the pending air.
mail legislation is enacted.
Attorney General Cummings dropped
hint along this line as he left a
White House conference with Post
Offlce and Commerce Department
officials.
President Roosevelt is known to
have some airmail action mind. A
decision may be made before his
planned departure for a fishing trip
In Southern waters next week. Cum
mlngs said. however, there was no
certainty that action would be taken.
Whatever is done may have some
connection with a reply promised by
Postmaster General. Farley within the
next few days to the requests OF air
line operators for a hearing on the
cancellation of their airmail contracts.
About a dozen such requests are on
file
Revised Bills Expected.
Somewhat revised bills for returning
the airmail permanently to private
companies are expected TO be reported
out next week by both the Senate and
House Post ONCE Committees. Both
have concluded hearings
From behind the committee doors
have come indications that the ad-
mlniStration would like 10 stick to its
plan for having companies holding
cancelled contracts reorganize before
being allowed to bid for new ones. 1t
desires also a divorce of the new
bidders from holding companies and
interlocking directorates.

ers got wide-open invitation TODAY

by the Air Corps. which has been
much criticized since it started flying

1t was understood this plan had the
approval of Harry H. Woodring, As
slstant Secretary of War. The COM
mittee decided upon it only after
having talked with him in executive
session for more than two hours.
Rogers said some recoc cnized author
tiles might inadvertently have been
left of the committees list. but ex-
pressed the hope that any others who
had ideas would communicate with
him
The committee already has agreed,
informally, that the Army's past prac-
tice Of buying airplanes without COM
petltive bids must cease.
The contention of some committee
members is that the negotiated con-
tract" system probably has led to infe-
rior equipment, and certainly has not
placed a definite limit on profits.

RECIMENTED LAUGHTER

Many American radio studios extending the
custom of inviting guests to attend the broad
casts, particularly when well-known comedians are
providing the entertainment Frequently more
than 1000 people are in the audience To the
radio listener the guests become part of the show
and as far as their role is concerned nothing is
left to chance.
The genial announcer bids the audience well
come, tells them all to have jolly good time,
and to laugh and applaud as much they wish.
And more than that, he promises to let them
know exactly when to do so. g..
When the star comedian gets underway and
says something that the announcer thinks the au-
dience should consider funny, an attendant holds
up a pacard on which is printed in large black
letters Laughter" And spontaneous roar of de-
light goes out the air. Even if some do not
see anything particularly side-sptting in the COM
edians gag" their duty as guests compel5 them to
laugh
As the entertainment progresses and the an
nouncer thinks it is time the visitors displayed a
different kind of appreciation his assistant holds
up a card marked applause and in thousands of
homes tuning in on the show the comedians popu-
larity is registered.
So by a series of friendly 'cues' and prompt
ings' it is hoped not only to help "put the show
over" but also to make the sale of Itsey Bit Bit
skits Tor whatever product is being advertised) a
trifle easier. Rugged individualism apparently is
out for good in those radio studios where applause

BETTER BUSINESS IS AHEAD

Hendersonville is anticipating better
business through the Fall and Winter, The
expectation of improved business is based
on several favorable developments Of the
present year. One of these is the best Sum-
mer tourist season of the past several
wears. Another is the improved position of
the farmers in this section. The crops OF
the area are. reasonably good, with the
certainty that some of them will produce
more money for the growers than they re-
ceived last year.
Also, there is the promise that the sea-
son for visitors will be extended somewhat
this year, and that some visitors may be
entertained through the Winter. Added to
this ds the fact that people with money to
invest! in homes and farms continue to
come to this section, which is evidence that
the real estate business is on the upgrade.
There is more cash in circulation in Hen
jacksonville and this section now than at
the same time last year. This is due to the
business reasons set forth above. Some adj
ditional circulation of cash may be antici-
pated from the business developments in
dictated in the foregoing survey. On the
whole, with more cash to spend and ample
opportunity to spend it, there should be
an encouraging increase in the volume OF
business.
AS usual, of course, the business hustler$
will profit most by improved conditions
Some business may come to those who
merely stand and wait, but those progress
sive, pushing business men wh8Apply the
rules of sound and successful promotion
will certainly reap the greater part of the
harvest.
Hendersonville business men should
move to get this towns full share of the
business of the Fall and Winter All the
people of the community and this trade
territory are interested in the upbuilding
of the sections business. Cooperation and
sustained promotion efforts should get big,
ger and better results for the next few
months than have been possible under the
conditions of several past years.
