signing nations by American idealism- AS a
matter Of fact it was not that at ALL
The close OF the World war found US with
an enormous building program under way. We
had six tremendous dreadnaugfts under con-
struction-ships of 40 200 tons each. mounting
twelve sixteen-inch guns apiece and estimated
TO cost s21,000.OO0 each without guns or armor.
Also under construction we're four dread
naughts of the Colorado class, of $1,000 tons
each. mounting eight sixteen-inch guns. and
costing upward Of s2OOOOOO0 apiece.
Six great battle cruisers were also being
built-incomparabl vessels Of 50, 300 tons,
mounting eight sixteen-inch guns, designed for
a speed Of thirty-fve knots. and estimated to
cost S3OOOOOOO each.
In addition. ten light cruisers were on the
way. and something like one hundred de-
stroyers.
AL this represented one of the greatest
naval programs in any nations history. 1t was
going to be horribly expensive. We wanted to
get out from under Tax reductions were in
ewtabIe. The load could not be carried.
So we proposed and put through the great
naval treaty-and saved ourselves hundreds
of millions of dollars that we probably could
not have persuaded ourselves to spend any
way
Now the treaty is expiring; and we will do
ourselves no good at all if We feel that high
ideals of dozen years ago are being flouted.
1t will be much better for us to re-exam-
inc our whole naval policy and decide whether
we really need to be worried if England and
Japan decide that they need more ships than

TRAGIC SECTIONALISM

A NIERICA is so complicated that historians
n can not understand it without compress
ing it into formula The latest formula is the
class struggle. Not long ago, the dominant
historical group used the frontier" formula
to explain America. Still another device is to
interpret events as a part of the conflict be-
tween section and section, chiefly of course,
between the north and south, and between
west and east. All Of these devices are over
simplifcations. But, in proper hands, they
can be useful and Illuminating.
James Truslow Adams in his new book,
Americas Tragedy" (Scribners), writes of
sectionalism The beginning is symbolized by
the statement of John Rolfe husband of Po-
cahontas, who recorded in 1919: Game in
Dutch man of ware that sold us twenty
Negars."
Though other sectional conflicts are de-
scribed, most of the book is devoted to the
major clash which led to the Civil war and
continued afterward between the north and
south.
AS usual Mr. Adams is popularizer OF
American history. But he continues to do
good job of it, as he did in his earlier popular
histories The Epic of America" and THE
March of Democracy"
His attitude toward the problem of Sec
tionalism is summed up in his title word
Tragedy"
He is careful, however, not to load the dice
against the south.
He concludes:
ITO accept what benefits and markets
machine age brings and yet isolate ones self
from an industrial life is to try again what
the south tried to do before the war-to cut
itself off from a hostile world opinion and
live it's own life within its own borders. 1t
was impossible then, and will be again.
What those of us who are born into this
confused age of machines, advertising, new
wants, and universal suffrage have to do is to
try to bring some order out of the chaos Of
moral values, and in an irretrievably altered
world to reassert the philosophy of the old
south, to bring the new democracies to see
that the values of the good life are other than
material. That may be the end of the tragedy
and the peculiar and happy function of yet
newer south in a united nation"

SIGN OF HEALTH

EXPRESSIONS of regret at the outburst OF
II rowdyism that marked the final game OF
the world series seems to us to be out OF place.
The outburst simply indicates that the grand
old game of baseball is enjoying excellent
health.
For baseball, when you get right down to
it. has a rowdy streak in it. 1t isn't polite
game, formalized and toned down by genera
tons of good craftsmanship"
1t derives from the small towns and the
sandlots where players get sore and slug one
another occasionally. where kill the umpire"
is a familiar cry, and where bleacherites are
not afraid to vent their displeasure on the
visiting team.
That sort of thing may be regrettable -
but it's part of baseball, and part of America.
So long as baseball retains a touch Of it, it
will continue to be the typically American
game.

DAMMING THE MISSISSIPPI

THE Mississippi valley committee has
given Secretary Ickes its recommended
tons for future control and development Of
the Mississippi river. and while the report
has not yet been made public it is under
stood in Washington that it calls for a vast
system of dams up and down the whole
length and breadth of the Mississippi valley.
II this is correct. there is foreshadowed
one of the most remarkable internal devel-
opments ever undertaken by any nation.
The dams. it is said. would be designed
primarily for flood control Secondarily, how
ever they would provide enormous quantities
of electric power. make possible the irrigation
of vast stretches of now arid land. ard aid
navigation up and down the whole river net
work
What now is being done in the Tennessee
river valley would be duplicated in the valleys
of the Mississippi's other tributaries.
1t will be interesting to see how much Of
a start the administration proposes to make
on this stupendous project.

COMPARES METHODS
OF POOR RELIEF

BY Reader.
This is in answer to Mr.. Britton's
article on the Center township
trustee while Republicans we're in
office. I would like to say that 1
that time very we'll and
so can many others.
If you we're in need of basket
you applied to the trustee and was
given a card. You we're to take
this card around as you looked for
work and if you were turned down
the card was signed.
When the card was filled you had
to go back to the trustee and get a
basket.
I have a friend who was trying
to get a basket at that time, and I
went with him to get a card. I was
asked to walk with him as he want
ed to get it filled so he could get his
basket.
This man lived in Brightwood and
we walked out Massachusetts, ave-
nue.. There are five or six small
factories on the way and so we
stopped at each place. AT one there
was a sign, mo Help Wanted" and
asked him why he stopped there.
He said he knew he would not get
a job, but he needed a signature and
was certain he could get one.
So I ask, is that any better than
the present system? We at least
don't have to eat what the grocer
can't sell. We get to work and we
can buy what we please to eat. If
a man has six in his family he gets
twenty-four hours work at a good
wage.
Still there are some persons who
want those good old days when they
walked all day and begged some one
to sign the card, so they could get
a basket that was worth, posi-
bly,, So.
ask you, is it any wonder that
when our feet hurt we wrap up our
heads?

STILL MORE FOR RELIEF

THE relief problem continues to put pres
L sure on the federal budget which may
have incalculable effects Harold Ickes, in
terror secretary, announces that he would like
to have real appropriation" for public works
this winter, and it is reported that congress
may be asked to give him as much as s2OO0,-
OO0,OOO
Just where such a sum would leave our
hopes for a balanced budget is not quite clear.
Certainly the outlook is not exactly rosy. And
yet it is hard to see how the appropriation of
some such sum for public works can be
avoided.
Our relief problem is stupendous one. 1t
simply can not be lodged. We can not let our
people starve. That means huge federal ex-
penditures, as long as unemployment remains
acute
Spending money on public works is more
effective and less wasteful than making di-
rect payments for relief If this keeps the
budget unbalanced, we probably shall lust
have to put up with it.

ON THE OTHER FOOT

1T is logical for Republican Chairman
L Fletcher to complain of Democratic cam
paign tactics A number of Democratic candi-
dates are asking for votes on the ground that
they have entry to the federal treasury. which
their Republican opponents do not possess.
They do not put it quite so badly. but they
make themselves understood. Nor has the adj
ministration repudiated these unseemly claims
of party candidates.
The administrations eectioneering pace
setter. James A. Farley, postmaster general,
Democratic chairman, in speech in Ohio
Saturday night. pointed with pride to the
millions of dollars the federal government has
poured into Ohio in loans, grants and ex-
penditures. But Mr.. Farley was too astute
to make the mistake of some Democratic
spokesman in other states. who frequently have
warned that the federal government will stop
playing Santa Claus TO them if they vote Re-
publican
The urge to get something for nothing is
strong within the human breast. And, since
Republican warnings that the taxpayers
eventually must pay the bill usually fall on
deaf ears. it is easy to understand the plight
of Chairman Fletcher and his indignation.
But isn't it a case Of the sins of the Re-
publicans coming home to plague them? For
decades spokesman of the grand old party
went about the country Boosting that the
partys protective tariff was a patented proc
ess that gave the people something for moth
thing In those DAYS. Democratic warnings
that the people themselves were paying for
the cost of the protection also fell on deaf
ears

MONDAY OCT. IS. 1894
HITLER SLIPS AGAIN

TN his dealings with the United States gov
Il eminent. Herr Hitler IS getting nowhere
fast. He has moved to denounce the trade
treaty between the two countries. With char
scteristic ineptness he times his treaty move
to coincide with the German announcement
that American holders Of Dawes plan notes are
to receive only IS per cent of the interest due
them today. Naturally, the state department
is highly displeased with these maneuvers.
America long since has become accustomed
to defaults of one kind or another on foreign
financial obligations. But no government in
Washington ever will submit to discrimination
in such matters without protest. Discrimina-
ton is the issue in this case While striking
at American bondholders Germany will pay
other foreign bondholders in full. Great
Britain and others would seize available Ger
man credits on balance in their own countries
Germany withheld the interest payments.
Because of Germany's unfavorable trade
balance in the United States, there are no
Hitler financial credits here which our gov
eminent could take over for the protection of
American bondholders. So Hitler has cold
shouldered American Ambassador Dodd and
the state department in their repeated pro-
tests.
In this bond matter, as in trade treaty re-
vision, it is true that Germany is acting under
severe economic pressure. Her extremity is
due in part to old allied policies and in part
to Americas high tariff wall, but it is due
chiefly to nationalistic measures of the Hit
Ter regime. Germany is suffering now from
the absurd Hitler attempt to cut off foreign
trade and make Germany self-contained. The
resulting distress is slowly teaching the Ger
man people that the Hitler method is a BOOM
erang which hits Germany hardest.
Whether Hitler evades payment of full in
terest on Dawes bonds of American holders to-
day is not important so far as the amount
goes. But the principle involved and the
tricky method employed by Hitler are impor-
tant in influencing future Americana German
relations If Hitler we're wise he would see
that he can not get away with that S2O87OOO
of American money without losing much more
than that in the end.

CHARGES VANDALISM
RUINS BARBER SHOPS

By Reader.
Since The Message Center seems
to be reserved as a medium by
which the underdog may present
his plea for justice, I wonder II 1
might have space for my plea.
In the last few months there has
been a vandal or a band of them
running at large in this city who
have chosen barber shops for their
operations.
In numerous cases barber shops
have been either bombed, the win
doWs broken, or the interior OF the
shop saturated with stencil.
Business is bad enough as a result
of the depression and most of US
are having troubles trying to avoid
public relief, but if this vandalism
is allowed to continue, we will be
forced to close our doors and apply
for relief.
If this siege is the result of some
imaginary grievance of some indi-
vidual or group, and since the police
seem to be powerlesS in this case,
perhaps if such grievance is made
known, it could be thraShed out in
a manner to the mutual satisfaction
of all.
