which new investments may be
made. Yet the administration is
looking to private industry to ex-
pand, to buy new machinery from
heavy goods industries and to put
more men to work.
The coal industry complains
bitterly about government hydro
electric power policies and says
employment will increase rather
than decrease, if the market for
coal is restricted further.
Liquor control problems are
tangled badly with tax and tariff
policies.

L Atrade agreements with other
countries have repeatedly run
afoul of attempts to keep alive
domestic job-giving industries
unable to compete without tariff
protection.
A decision must be made as to
what board or bureau will handle
the winters employment drive in
volving as it does expenditure of
large amounts for housing, grade
crossing elimination and other
projects. The housing admins
tration, PWA, FERA and several
other agencies are concerned.
Interior and agriculture depart
ments are engaged in bitter dis
pute as to which shall control the
country's forests, national parks,
siol erosion projects and subsist-
ence homesteads. Interior and
commerce departments are at odds
over the bureau of mines.
The only important new agency
left out of the circle of Mr.. Rich
berg's co-ordinating activities in
the National Labor Relations
Board and this caused comment
today in view of recent conflicts
between the board and the de-
partment of justice over enforce
ment of section 7A's labor provi-
sions in the Houde case. Mr.. Rich
berg says the labor board was
excluded because of its quasi
judicial character.
Federal activities in the field are
to be co-ordinated as we'll as in
Washington. Substantial budget
savings may be made if this policy
extends to purchasing and dis
bursting activities of the different
departments.

Methods employed will vary in

contemplated experiment across
the Pacific.
Tentative plans are to fly the
ship from either Los Angeles or
San Francisco to Honolulu, a
distance of 2,400 miles, then 1900
miles to the Midway islands, 1900
to Wake island, 1900 to Guam,
1,40O to Manila, and finally $50 to
Hong-Kong.
The total distance of $3.50 miles,
from either Los Angeles or San
Francisco, President Trippe says,
might be made in three days and
three nights.
Compare that time with a full
three weeks for a liners passage
to China!
Once the practicability of trans
Pacific flying is established, the
prospects for expansion of regular

Australia, too, would be brought
much closer to America, by this
modern means. Passage by mod
ern liners to Sidney takes twenty
days. BY air, it would be less
than three days!
All this is no mere dream. Pan
American ways, President
Trippe pionts out, is we'll equipped
by past experience to make such
routes possible.

l. developed an extensive air
transport system with some 5000

1--WE already have completed
extensive ground and meteorolo-
gical surveys covering the route
from the United States to the
principal trade centers of Asia.

air routes to the Orient would be
tremendous.
u
THE present five-day trip to
Il Hawaii could be cut to six
teen hours, considering a cruising
speed Of $50 miles an hour over
the distance of 2,400 miles.
The fast Oriental express liners
plying between Toxic and VAN
couver make the run in ten days,
which would be reduced to a mere
thirty-two hours by air over a
much longer distance of about
1890 miles by way of Unalaska,
in the Aleutian islands.
1t takes three weeks to go by
ship from America to the Philip
pines, but on the Brazilian Clip
per it would take about two and
a half days, with stops at four
midway points.

Our technical staff, headed by
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, is
now studying the question of ter

In approaching the new engi-

Quoting transoceanic air services
across the Pacific, we have been
greatly aided by the practical ex-
periences of four years operation

powerful. Furthermore, that it is
growing.
This cleavage is a definite source
of worry. And what concerns some
of the Presidents advisers and
must concern him is that he is
sitting in the middle. In fact,
Roosevelt, once branded as the
radical, now is a mere pink liberal
in comparison with a large body
of opinion.
That is one reason why the
bankers recently decided that the
day might come when he would
be their chief protector.
That also is the reason why the
administration itself does not know
definitely whether it is hewing a
course to the Right or to the Left.
1t is caught betwixt and between.

He's Fair Enough

NOTHING could be further from the truth
~ McColdrick, for instance. knows just as much
about the mechanics Of district leadership and Tam
many rule as any chieftain OF the hall. Nothing
but character and conscience stands between him
and a post as a machine leader. Moreover, he al
ways has been utterly fair in admitting the rather
surprising amount OF hard and honest work which
comes out of a corrupt system. In the rank and
file Of Tammany oficeholders there are many who
actually try to give the city run for its money.
But that is not the way the tide runs or the
pressure is applied.
IN all cities il generally is held that while good
government may be more honest. machine rule is
much more fun. BY some curious accident honest
rule has become confused with Puritanism. In Phil
adelphia Chicago. New York and smaller places the
advocate OF reform is pictured sour-vsaged in
dividual in plug hat who wants to see everybody
in mis- own bed at at night
Again and again reform has been wrecked by the
natural instinct Of big town folk 10 go after gaiety
But city can be gay and honest at the same time
The two things are not mutually incompatible. In
fact a town can be rOwdy and honest do not want
to loose any slurS scandals about McGoldrick
but 10 is my impression that he could take drink
and cut down a cheating contract all in the same
afternoon. I hope that next Tuesday the city OF
New York will assume national leadership in decid-
ing that intelligence is not necessarily bar to pub
lie ONCE.

Just Let 1t Drop

THE subject is unfortunate all around and your
correspondent is sorry he brought it up.
In picturing the of the itinerant politicians Of
California, your correspondent feels some hesitancy
about calling them tramp politicians. Nor does it
quite prudent to call them political buns al
though many of them have made politics their life
work for the same reason that the well-known class
of tennis buns have devoted their best years to
mis-. The reason is. of course that it is easy and
well-fed existence for which somebody else always is
putting up the money.
Just now the politics of California is dominated
by politicians of class which your correspondent
will call gypsy statesmen and let it go at that They
all came to California for the general reasons
which lured the farmers of Iowa to the region OF
Los Angeles. The winters were comfortable for cold
marrows and there seemed to be opportunities 70
make money more easily and amid much
pleasant surroundings.
But it is impossible to keep a politician out Of
politics and consequently the native citizens Of Cali
fornia have begun wonder if there is anything in
the laws of the state which forbds them to hold
public Office or NEEDLE in the affairs of their own
state.
The two leading candidates for Governor of Cali
fornia are gypses, to wit, Mahatma Upton Sinclair
of Maryland, and Frank Merriam the old wrist-fiip
horseshoe pitcher and prohibtonist from Iowa. The
third candidate, Ray Haight, is native Californian
but it has been understood all along that the only
way the native could win would be through the with
draWal of Mr.. Sinclair 1t would be dangerous for
Mr. Sinclair to do this because the election of
native might give the native population false ideas
of their Importance After all, the native Californian
exists only to feed and support the honorary or
colonial Californians and he appears to be unfit for
the responsibilities of sef-government Just yet.

EDUCATION was optional with the

Wabash college, reappeared at SYRIA

That Would Be Some Fun

VXTILLIAM G.. M'ADOO, native of Georgia, has
w been very kind to the natice Calfornians. He
came out here political dry, to state which used
to have an important wine industry, and lost no
time telling the natives what was best for them. Mr..
McAdoo thought prohibition was best for them and
was generous enough to take over the duties OF
United States senator which was nice Of him, to be
sure Senator McAdoo still thinks prohibition would
be best for the primitive natives of the state view
which he shares with the present gypsy politician
Governor Mr. Merriam Between them they may be
able to revive prohibition in years to come and put
the natives in their place.
George Creel of Kansas City, also offered himself
as colonial Governor Of the natives the Democratic
ticket but lost to Mahatgna Sinclair He has taken
more or less umbrage at this lack Of appreciation
and momentariy has picked up his marbles ana

mendous army of adherents by build
ing colossal bureaucracy" not under
civil service, but that it has assaulted
and undermined" positions that have
been under civil service.
Col Roosevelt lashed out at James
AloySius Farley, Tammany adept" who
he declared had been placed at the
head and given charge of the de-
bauching of our Government" He
also charged that Secretary OF the
Interior Harold L. Ickes had sold
out"
Not for more than half century
have we had such a condition as
exists today" he said. THE present
national administration has not
merely done nothing to advance the
merit system-it has openly and
brazenly set out to destroy it.
Shadow of Tammany.
"For the first time In the history of
the United States Washington lies in
the shadow of Tammany Hall. The
methods of Boss Tweed, Croker and
Murphy are being applied in our
Federal Government. Every day that
passes the Tammany spoils system
fastens its tenacles more firmly upon
our Nation"
The Maine election, Col. Roosevelt
declared, was bought and paid for"
with millions of dollars of the tax
payers money" He charged Secre-
tary IckeS with right-about-face on
the PaSamaquoddy power project in
Maine because the election was at
hand.
To-day there are RmiSsarieS of the
Federal Government prying into every
last one of our affairs" he said. They
are not merely concentrated in Wash
ington, but are scattered through the
country spying, interfering, living of
US. Take up any telephone book in
a large city and you will see long lists
of new Government Offices.
These great new organizations
have been specifically exempted from
the civil service law. In all except a
very few instances, such as the
T. v. A., employees have been selected
on strictly spoils system with the
end in view of creating Tammany
machine in the United States"
Partisan Politics"
Col. Roosevelt attacked the Home
Owners Loan Corporation as "typi-
cal illustration of the national admin
istration's prostitution of its endeav-
ors to the service of partisan politics"
In revoking the civil service order
covering employees of the Old Soldiers
Home in johnson County, Tenn, Col
Roosevelt declared, the President made
"as barefaced an assault upon the
merit system as has ever been perpe-
trated." This was done, he said, at
the instance of Senator Mcclellan,
who wished to strengthen his politi-
cal fences In Tennessee.
Attacking the publicity departments
of the various N. r. A. departments,
Col. Roosevelt said:
For the first time in the history
of this Nation a national Government
has undertaken propaganda on a
gigantic scale to be paid for with the
peoples money. The whole aim and
end of this propaganda has been to
strengthen the present national ad-
ministration."

SCOUT HEAD SEEKS
EVERY FOURTH BOY
Dr.. James {. West Delivers
Keynote Address to Re-

An effort to make every fourth boy
who has reached the age Of IL a
member of the Boy Scouts of America
was advocated by DR.. James E. West,
chief Scout executive, in his keynote
address yesterday at the fourteenth
annual meeting here Of Region Three
of the Scouting Assembly, comprising
the councils of the District, Maryland,
Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Outlining the purposes of the Boy
Scouts; DR.. West disclosed that in the
first seven months of this year $4,000
new members have been enrolled.
The organization has dealt with more
than 100000 boys in its 24-year
existence, he said.
Youth has faced a changed social
condition in recent years, the execu-
tive continued, and many hazards
including more freedom. due to lack
of jobs, are presented to the future
American citizens.
DR.. West declared that IN New
York City 80 per cent of the boys
and SIS per cent of the girls who are
arraigned in Juvenile Court have
1allen INTO evil ways because OF
broken homes"
In urging Scout leaders to make
their charges civic and socially
minded, DR.. Vest said he was i'm
pressed with the movement of youth
in Russia, although he was not in
sympathy with the Soviet government.

and evening sessions at the Shoreham
