RICHRERG ON MIRA

MR. RICHBERG. the Presidents right

ministration,s long-awsited and overdue plans
for NRA. Despite his protestation that the
views were merely his own. obviously he spoke
by the book
And ne spoke exceedingly well. Seldom has
g difficult subject been unfolded more lucidly.
With the three general policies laid down
most Americans will agree.
The first is that the purposes and prin-

The second is that NRA or its permanent
successor should operate with the greatest
possible fcNbility This should apply not only

NO REASON TO BE
ASHAMED OF PRESS
By Peter Roone.

By Peter Roone.
Every so often reader breaks
loose with the cry that the press is
venal and disrespectful forgetting
that a newspaper is a commercial
enterprise like any other. If he looks
enough, he can find examples. The
San Francisco papers were mani
testify unfair to the strike this sum-
mer and to the EPIC plan this win
ter. Few papers have seen fit to
show respect to Gertrude Stein who,
in spite of her peculiarities, has in
fluenced two major American au-
thors But in general, their honesty
and dignity is far superior to the
European papers and to American
papers of past decades.
AS long as the press is dependent
on advertising for revenue and on
the taste Of its readers for its tone,
We can not have Utopia in journal
ism. But in general We have de-
gree of accuracy and fairness that
indicates in the newspaper world a
conscience far above that Of the av-
erage.
If the reader wants a broad point
Of view, nothing prevents him from
reading Democratic as well as Re-
publican papers, from reading the
liberal weeklieS and the literary
sheets. He has no right to expect
any one paper to be supreme in all
fields. The paper is printed for the
average person; if the critic is above
the average, it is his own misfor-
tune.
When the history of these days is
written, it will not consist of events
alone. 1t will hold the ideas and
the feelings Of the masses. 1t is not
in the weeklies and in the intellectu-
al papers that those ideas are ex-
pressed. II is in the papers whose
'arge circulauons indicate that they
reflect the attitude of the readers.
A complaint that readers should
not be given what they want but
what they need is directed not at
the press but the civilization that

toned are stif1ed in the cloSeneSs of

der emotions common to all people,
which is the essence of art. I should
like to see them rise above the petty
sorrows of their days.
1t is only in penetration that emo

must go deeper into their souls and
bring up work with keener edge,
go below the monotony of their i'm

I wonder if none of them can
mark a contrast to the falling leaves

a passing touch. They are little

A LAND PLAN

THE sudden awakening of American bust
ness to the need of government planning
Is illustrated by the report of the land policy
committee of the United States Chamber of
Commerce. It agrees with the two basic prin-
ciples in the New Deal land policy. One is
that progressive ruination of this country's
basic natural resource must stop, the other
that only the government can stop it.
The committee outlines a program similar
in essentials to the administrations.
In proposing to adjust agricultural produc-
ton to demand, the committee urges "interna-
tional negotiations to stimulate exports" of
farm SURPRISES; government research to in
crease industrial uses for farm and forest prod
ucts; gradual removal of submarginal land
from cultivation through tax diferentials and
credit control, rural coming, consolidation of
scattered communities. public purchases ero-
sion control and reforestation. 1t urges also
that all projects relating to federal acquisition
and administration of these submarginal lands
be placed under the department of agriculture.
The national chamber has just declared it
self eager to cooperate with Roosevelt recov-
cry plans. In the field of land planning it will
find the government particularly eager to well
come such cooperation

MONUMENTS FAIL TO
LAUD WAR DEAD
BY Francis Locke.

BY Francis Locke.
If the bonus is granted to the eX-
service men it will cast a great dis
honor on them. They have no rights
above those of the general public,
among whom they are cared for as
equals and not as members of a
superior military caste.
When our soldiers went to war, it
was theoretically for the cause OF
democracy, an illusion which as
shared by the world. They did not,
like the mercenaries of so many
European wars, fight for money. II
they asked for recompense, in their
disappointment at the real reasons
for the war, they are betraying the
ideals that they held in 1918. The
fact that those ideals we're not con-
siStent with the facts is no excuse
to let them fall.
The bonus was promised to the
ex-service men under conditions
which have changed vastly If again,
they wish to fight for democracy
they can do so only by being demo-
cratic to the last degree. They are
not equally needy and deserving.
The common cause for which so
many of them struggle now is to get
what they can, no matter who needs
it more than they.
Government aid should be given
to whomSoever can not exist with
out it. whether he be soldier, err
chant or workman. To ask for help,
not in turn with the rest of the
needy, but for having fought for a
better world is to put oneself on
the level of the mercenaries who
battle Monday for France and Tues
day for Germany.
1t is hard to believe that a vast
number of our citizens still live in
the Middle Ages. What they are
legally and what they are morally
entitled to are separate things. Not
with monuments, but with actions
can they show respect to the war
dead.

DEMANDS COLUMNIST'S STAND
ON QUESTION OF SEX

By Joseph Adler.
To Mrs. Walter Ferguson:
Recently the question of sex mat
ters was discussed to a great extent
and then suddenly ceased. I was
interested in this and expressed my
disgust of a subject which should be
left entirely to the parents of each
home, and not be hashed in the
open as matter Of general CONVEX
sation.
There is not and should not be
any secret about sex matters, but
there is time and place for every
thing to be done, and the newspaper
is not the proper place to discuss
this matter, in my estimation. l
entered this discussion at first with
the serious intention Of getting the
paper as well as the writer to see
the harm it was likely to produce
and thereafter exclude it.
I think it is a disgrace and in
fact a moral crime to encourage the
young generation to follow the ad-
VIE yOQ llOH O4AC4. t4l444h bA44o ID
about as rotten a doctrine to preach
as is possible to perpetrate upon the
rising generation. I thought it was
bad enough before when another
writer encouraged them to practice
loose morals, but your article is
many times worse. I do not pose as
an angel, nor am prude; but the
principle of rebuttal is based on the
law of marriage and decency.
Therefore I will put a couple Of
questions TO you and ask you TO
answer them without any equivo-
cation or trying to beat the devil
around the stump. 1t should be
yes or no.

THESE POETS ARE
HAVING A TOUGH TIME
Bv John Dupre.

bN JOun DupEcs
Unless the local poets are over
wrought by the season, they must be
a suicidal lot. Of the fourteen verses
printed in The Times from Nov. /
to 10, ten are extremely sad about
it all.
In a voice of doom, they utter the
following complaints: The leaves
are dying. Lonely old women wait
on porches. Why was so-and-so torn
from US? The earth laughs bitterly
at the fall because the bright color
is only the fever of death. A hand
blesses the evening and is swiftly
gone. One would like to believe
again that love is wholly rapture;
but, ali, we know what it isl A lover
has a door slammed in his face.
Weeping is an antidote to the poi
son of life, and a release from joy.
The dance can not last long, nor
does the orchid matter save for a
night. And one was gay all day
until the recollection Of her lover
filed her with sorrow.
There is so little courage and
faith here! Even McLelSh, L. ..
Elliott and the late Hart Crane
saved their chagrin for something
more than a transient dissatiSfac-
ton. In their major poems, they
are concerned with the ruins OF
their church, the tawdrineSs of love
in the machine age, their inability
to find a significance IN life, the
ghosts of their fathers in the Ham
let theme. But the local poets. some

their own red eyelids.
The romantic malady, the belief
that the prime concern Of the uni

produced those readers. In general,
the papers are superior to the level
of society, even they fall below the
highest ideals.
In particular, the ScrippsHoward
publications have shown qualities
that deserve respect. The critic can
improve his world much more by
forging higher standards of reading
and thinking than he can by howl
ing at what he probably has con-
tributed to make. Our press is a
sound reflection Of the American
people, and we have reason not to
be ashamed of it.

of Dodge commercial cars and
trucks for the week ending Sep

history of the company's business,
practically doubling the sales re-
cord of the preceding week.

$50 far, l64.7 per cent.
The increase in Dodge CONNER
cial car and truck business has
been steady throughout the year.
The introduction of the new l IL
ton standard unit with a $49O
base price has tapped a great vol
ume market; delivery of these units
in constantly increasing numbers
is one of the reasons for the steady
upward trend in deliveries report
ed by Dodge dealers. The company
is backing up its optimism about
business for the balance of the
year, by stepping up production
schedules on a very substantial
basis. The fact that Dodge Broth
ers have been able to supply the
existing market with a line Of low
priced vehicles meeting with fine
public acceptance, is given as one
of the principal factors explaining
the steady progress of their truck
business.

But the Agricultural Adjustment
