CLOSED A CASES

By a Deposition.
Will injustice ever cease?
People placed their hard-earned
savings in financial institutions
which circulated reports showing
solvency and then closed their doors
without giving the depositors any
warning.
A court granted the officials per-
mission to continue in charge Tor
two years, spending the assets and
also drawing large salaries for that
period.
Finally, the depositors organized
and had the court appoint a re-
ceiver: then came a trial of the
liouidating agents and official in
vestigations of their banking and
liouidating affairs, which revealed
alleged unlawful handling of the
trust.
Many of the depositors have been
forced to call on the county for
helm and all of them have been UNI
able to do things that would have
given employment to many who are
out of work.
Why not get busy and bring mat
tiers to a climax?
Recent legislation provides pro-
lection for depositors in banks; 1t
surely behooves those in charge OF
defunct banks to recover all avail
able property belonging to the de-
faulters and convert it into cash and
pay on their debts, and then I'M
prison the guilty.
We feel that if this is not done
soon they, too, have failed in their
duty.

REAL SILK WORKER
LIKES HER JOB

BY a Boarder.
Why worry about the heat on the
fourth floor? You are not there, if
We are reaching for the sky and
walking up and down the aisle. We
receive a pay check each week.
We are not walking around the
mill in the hot sun or rain wearing
out shoes and reaching for some
thing we failed to get.
We were asked to wash hot forms,
but not forced to clean them.
Any factory where you work,
either union or open shop, you have
to keep your machine clean and do
it on your own time.
I have been at Real Silk more
than six years and truthfully can
say I have been treated fairly by
the E. M. B. A. at all times.
I have had a vacation every year
and every one else could take one
if they asked for it. I never was
forced to work when sick. I never
have heard any department head
tell employees if they didn't like it,
they could quit.
j. A. Goodman has been truthful
and treated every one squarely.
I am thankful to be a Real Silk
boarder as a check every week from
$40 to $27 looks good to any girl in
these days,

CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS

CONGRESS promised the Filipino people
~ independence within ten years, providing
the Filipinos, among other things, reduce their
annual shipments of cocoanut oil to the
United States to 44S, 600, 900 pounds. Then,
while the Filipinos were in the act of accept
ing the independence contract, congress levied
a destructive tax upon that industry which
supports one-fourth of the Filipino popula-
ton.
Congress spoke with the voice of Jacob,
then acted with the hand of Esau.
President Roosevelt now asks congress to
redeem our national honor by reconSidering
the cocoanut oil tax. AS spokesman for the
American people. who believe their govern
ment should be honorable, the President could
not do less.
The Filipinos buy hundreds of millions of
dollars worth Of American farm and factory
products. 1t is not wise to destroy their ca
pacity to buy from us, either now while they
are still American citizens or later when they
achieve independence. In the Philippines is
one overseas market not already lost to us,
and our own welfare demands that we cling
to it.
Nor can we afford any blunder that will
lose friends in the Far East, where delicate
international complications call for careful
American diplomacy. Nothing should be per-
rnitted to happen that will cast doubt upon
the good faith of the United States.
In the Pacific arena, we need customers
and friends.

Condemns Act of Guard at Speedway

By a Disguised Democrat
May I add a few lines to your
ever just column? 1t happened
at the Speedway after the race.
The grounds were practically
deserted with the exception of
a few onlookers and national
guardsmen. We approached
grand stand A.
A patron was asleep in one Of
the boxes. A guardsman ap-
preached and shook him. The
young man was under the inhu-
ence of liquor, but far from drunk.
We watched the guard search
him, take a bottle two-thirds full
of whisky away from him, go
through every pocket, then place
the young mans wallet in his
own pocket. He saw us watching
him.
Then he placed the boy in his
car and drove him to the gate to
check him out, as he called it.
The fellow laughed and joked,
didn't resist or stagger, but GER
tainly was embarrassed.
We followed, intending to in
terview the young man just to see

JUNE 2, 1884.
THEY HIRED THE MONEY-BUT
PAGE 6

TT has been necessary for President RooSe-
l. welt to add to the words on war debt, which
if laid end to end would carry the dispute to
the farthest reaches of the stratosphere and
dump it there, where it belongs.
Everything Mr.. Roosevelt says repeats what
all our postwar Presidents have said, and
what innumerable congressional orators and
editorials have said. It is all very logical and
legally unanswerable. In the immortal words
of Mr.. Coolidge: "They hired the money,
didn't they?"
So what?
So did the American banks that failed, and
the horde of domestic debtors that will never
pay. The claims are good-but they are not
worth anything.
The President speaks of "the %sacredness of
the obligation" That is the way a great many
Americans feel about the American govern
ment's broken pledge to pay gold.
The crisis, the economic necessity, is simply
greater than the arguments. So the gold
clause went overheard as did many domestic
debts. And so have the war debts gone over
board-we need not kid ourselves about that
fact.
"A yOd4 a5O OfOAA AOA5 UAO
worthless as cash, they had some value as bar
gaining tokens in the international game of
trade, tariffs, disarmament and the like. The
Roosevelt adminiStration-partly because it
was too busy with problems closer home
failed to take advantage of that opportunity.
Now it probably is too late. The President
in his message to congress yesterday limited
that we might use the debts to trade for dis
armament on the very fair principle that any
nation which can afford to increase arms ex-
penditures can afford to pay its debts.
But we fear that will not work now that
all of the nations, our own included, are en-
parked on a vast armament race. Indeed in
the present tense atmosphere of suspicion
there is danger that such bargaining would
be resented by the peoples abroad as a blow
below the belt.
The war debts have value now only as
troublemakers. Since congress will not adj
nit the fact that they will never be paid and
therefore attempt a low settlement, probably
the less said about them the better for a while.

Capital Capers
By GEORGE ARELL-

ME celebrated Pace, valet for twenty wears
Il 10 Ambassador Cardenas of Spain and
known as the dean of major domos in Washing
ton, was the guest of honor at a large recep-
t!on ana oance sponsored by the servants of
the Spanish embassy.
Nearly all the Spanish colony in the capital
attended the event. 1t was a gala affair, given
IN the cloak rooms of the embassy, with music,
merriment, Japanese lanterns and Spanish
claret and sherry from the best cellars in An
dalusia.
Pace was magnificent, dressed in a smartly
tailored black coat and white trousers. He
stood at the head of the. receiving line, greet
ing guests under a large, Illuminated sign which
read Gin SPANISH:
"a GRAND FIESTA IN HONOR Of PACO,
PRINCE OF MAJOR DOMOS."
All the young Spanish diplomats came in
during the course of the evening to shake Pacos
hand. He is a f~avorite with all who know him.
The highlight of the evening was Paco's
rendition of an old-fashioned Spanish quadrille
in the grand manner. He did it better than
any ambassador-and, it was freely admitted,
the admirable Pace looked more ambassadorial
than most foreign ENJOYS.
II ME Cuban embassy the other day celebrated
Il a victory which is not yet listed in the his
tory books.
A solemn ceremony took place at the state
department, as the United States formally re-
AONAOS0 lac A4OGO44OuO I1dGG dLuG1lQ1lCIIU+ dl1Q
its right of armed intervention in Cuban affairs
by signing a treaty with the island government.
Cuban Ambassador Marquee Sterling arrived
in a morning coat and delivered a dramatic
speech, repeating the words of General Leon
ard Wood:
"1t is better that the stars and stripes should
be indelibly impressed upon our hearts than
that they should float above our heads!"
The only one surviving witnesses of the sign
ing of the treaty of 1903, which brought the
Platt amendment to Cuba, were present at the
ceremony. They are elderly, bald-headed Sid
ney (Uncle Sidney Smith, veteran state de-
partment official, and John Barrett, first direc-
t~or-general of the ~Pan-Annerican Union.
Uncle Sidney gravely affixed the great red
seal of the United States to the new treaty,
made no comment.
Rarely does Uncle Sidney comment. During
his seventy-six years he had seen many treaties
and many men. He calmly affiXes seals to
the treaties and treats men and events philoso-
phically.

Can our government be any bet
ter than the people who govern?
When organizations r formed you
will find crooks get into them. If
an organization is controlled by
crooks or selfish interests it is no
good to the country.
When we find crookedness, forg-
cry, Juggling, twisting and lies, how
can you expect the people to be any
better? What they SOW that will
they reap.
The President in his acceptance
speech said the money changers
should be driven out. The Lord
drove the money changers out of
the temple. If we want to follow
this example, should they not be
driven out of the church?

The Roosevelt revolution is being

all, while we watched the hocus

organized lobby of stockholders"
has taken all the color out of the

the sucker again. The CWA pump
has been dismantled and FERA

that high purchasing power of $40

reform measure is shelved so we
can wait for banking reform until
the next holiday. Well the counter

the day now, but wait! Another
holiday is coming! We will need

if his wallet really was returned
to him.
The guard, a man of short,
stocky build, about As and very
coarse, had deposited the boy in
a cab at the gate and met us on
the way back, going north to the
stands. He hailed the four of us,
passed us, parked and walked
back to where we were walking.
We had truly given him a good
razzing for searching the boy
when he had no right to, and
the man was a stranger in Dur
midst. He approached and (here
is his story:) you seen me

showing US a $40 bill. boy, was
he heeled. He forced me to take
this $40 tip. Can you imagine
that?"
Then my husband asked him
what authority he had to pocket
the wallet and take the whisky.
Then this from the guardsman:
"Why, he even had $40 bills in
his shoes. He showed this (the
ten) at me. Why, he forced me
to accept it."

DOUBT BIRTH CONTROL
WILL BETTER LIFE

WILL BETTER LIFE
BY Hiram Lackey.
Your editorial in The Times of
May 81 paints a pleasingly reStful
picture of our declining birth rate
and is truly excellent in that it
reveals the weakness of the argu-
ment, from which you quote that Of
DR.. w. S. Thompson, director Of
the Scripps Foundation for Research
in Population.
The learned doctor would do well
to sink his research shafts deeper
into, the social strata left by dead
ages. His argument that, with a
decreased population, life will
move along more evenly and with
fewer disturbances" is alluring but
not at all in keeping with Gods eX-
press command for individual null
~tiplication.
If the purpose of the creation
we're to deliver a numerically weak
and unresisting mankind into the
greedy arms of a c~apitalistic Moloch,
his argument would be conclusive
and final.
Birth control as a remedy for
economic stress, treats the effect
but fails at healing the cause.
When we look upon the ruins Of
ancient civilizations, such as those
of Petra, we see what happens when
the human race fails to give CO.
nomic cause its proper significance.
Where nee was Petra with ap-
proXimately one million inhabi-
tants, now are ruins, few and scat
tered families and beasts of the
wild. Naturally, here the tenor Of
life runs more evenly and there are
fewer disturbances.
Old mother earth, pregnant with
life and willingly provident for her
children, can care for a family Of
almost unlimited number.
Some day, when the accursed
sleeping potion administered by our
soup kitchens and almshouses I'M
der the guise of sweet charity shall
have lost its effectiveness, men will
assert the qualities of manhood and
protect their common mother and
common heritage from the throt-
ting and stealing hands Of profit.
We like the editorial page of The
Times. God knows it is the one
light piercing the gloom of u
city's political darkness. We have
no doubt that as the precepts Of
the Golden Rule are more and more
forgotten and mans inhumanity to
nan becomes more apparent, its
flame will brighten and in the end
reveal nothing but Gods eternal
truth.

A KISS FOR THE WIFE
THOSE Oklahoma CITY husbands

H1OO6 OAIanoma City husbands who
formed a Husbands Gratitude Club"
seem to have struck upon a pretty sound idea
Tor promoting happy marriages.
Each member took this pledge:
I solemnly pledge myself daily to embrace
my wife, kiss her, and tell her I love her.
I promise to compliment her at least once
each day on some particular part of the menu
she prepares.
I promise to perform at least one kind
and unexpected deed for her daily"
Reducing it all to a formal pledge NAV
sound a bit odd, of course. But it does set
forth a course of action which points, most
decidedly, in the direction of a successful
marriage.

It is welcome news to hear that

relief and prayers, therefore, are

appalling to contemplate it in all
its turpitude, enormity and growing
extent. 1t is now called the snatch

1t is a challenge to all order,

Open golf championship begins
Thursday. Roland R. Mackenzie,
Congressional Country Club pro,
and the only other Washingtonian
to qualify for the open, will de-

This is the fourth time Shorey
has qualified for the big event
and the third for Mackenzie.
Shorey qualified in 1880, 1882,
and 1888.
Mackenzie qualified in 1928 as
an amateur and lasted through
the four rounds, though finishing
far down the list. He also
qualified for the 1881 open from
the California district but didn't
take part in the tournament
proper.
Shorey has been hitting the ball

Kenzie has been so occupied with
his new duties at Congressional
that he has been unable to give
