PERRY
 PICKUPS
BY JOE FAMIGHETTI ONE MINUTE INTERVIEWS WJRI THE PERRY MEN!!

BERNIE DODGE-Now, listen Joe, va got everything wrong, in the past two weeks va told the public that was the one to blame for starting the bowling league. Be a good guy, and tell the readers, especially the guys down Brooklyn way, they think that I'm bribing va to say all those things about me. If you want to put anything good you can say that I still think can trim all those other guys in bowl ing. ooh, Yeah, well, you score doesn't prove it this week..
 HINTON SYNNOTT-What a pal va turned out to bel! Lissen. wise guy, I ca intake jokes and every thing else but since va pinned that "Inka Dinka Doc" on me why l get boined up, because every place I goes they always want to hear me sing that-a song. Va know that puts me in an embarrassing situa- tion. Oh! the humiliation of it all, I never was so mortified, and va want to know something else, don't tell anyone I told va but I'm the guy that's going to cop the prizes for highest honors.
 EWALD SMITH-TIello, kid!! What va want an interview with me, why I havn't got anything to say about the league in the first place, I don't know anything about the game, and as they've probably told me-, I'm just here for me health. Okey, Smithie we'll let va go this time!!
 MARTY DI MAnIA-Look-ee zee him, he wants to get statement from me, concerning the league boys, what shall I tell him. (Here, the boys formed into huddle, and bronx cheered Marty to a speech) I haven't got much to tell va Joe, but there is something that's press ing on my mind. And that is. since this darned league started I can't even pay any more attention to my

But their leader. Och der lieber.
 Pete Lewis pocketed the attend ance prize.
 Fred Drummond, he of the Carl Hubbell delivery, was back an- choring for Ed Mclean after so- l journing in the South. We mean South of Fulton Park. That was a nice first game Stuey Heitman rolled. A swell score for | a golf game. Bob Nelson nearly collapsed when he saw it. Walter Nelson is back from a | fishing trip for blue snappers. Went fishing for the pins. Who made that crack? Did Walter think Nick Calabrese came in by aeroplane from Meriden while Joe Blum cruised onto the scene from the wilds of Winsted. Where Is He Hiding Jack Moriarty is trying to find the hide-out of Bob Lagerquist. He is thinking of getting the Dee- jays on Bob's trail. The most improved bowler on the alleys is George Beckley. Here tofore, George was rather nervous when toeing the line but not now. The hotter the battle the better he likes 1t. And he has taken the breath away from his opponents on several occasions already. Keep it up, Kid.
 Louie Bisio came in on his snowshoes from the West-High- land avenue.
 A post card was received from Bob Raythwich stating that he was near the end of his hunting trip and when he got in, he would treat the boys to a game supper. It has got to be a big crow to feed this gang, Bobby old timer. Who took Hod McMahon's bowl ing shoes? Wasn't that 258 pretty sour. Something wrong some where.
 | Co1ucci has received a contract | from the Dean brothers to join them in Hollywood. Oh! yeah!
 So long til tomorrow night.

 Howard Humphries especially was having a tough time trying to get the pins to fall over for him. He was heard to remark that he thought his team should roll the girls team from the Service buiid- ing, either that or take up knit ting. We'll, big boy, we wouldn't take 1t so seriously, maybe you'll hit a 100 before the season is ever.

 Notice has been served on the single boys by Jerry Davis that after November 17th, they can no longer consider him as one of their number. After that date he will become a member of that sad faced group called married men. Farewell, Jerry, and may Lady Luck guide your footsteps.

Utility Control
By Whom

Congress- should lend considerate to the pleas of the
District for legislation which would simplify the control of
public utilities in the National Capital.
Under the present law the utility companies virtually
free of any control by the Commission appointed to control
them.
The Public Utilities Commission is in effect powress to
make and enforce decree governing the rates of the
utilities
This situation arises from the wide latitude given the
panies on appeal to the courts
There intent upon the part Of District officials or
the people the District rob the utilities Of their const
tutional rights
BUT THERE IS STRONG DESIRE AND A DE
LIBERATE INTENT UPON THE PART OF THE OFFICIALS
AND THE PEOPLE TO MAKE THE COMPANIES MORE
RESPONSIVE TO THE ORDERS OF THE COMMISSION
AND THE WISHES OF THE PEOPLE OF THE DISTRICT.
Under the present circumstances the District virtually has
two utilities commissions The that sits in the District
Building and the District Supreme Court.
The formal Utilities Commission may hear evidence for

hears the additional evidence for several months

rulers was done voluntarily by

at least seven important coun-
tries of Europe-France, Swift

cludes, from the whole picture,
that democracy is by no means

whether democratic govern
ment can or will survive but
whether it should survive.

some more authoritative form
of government. Let those who
feel incompetent to govern

dictators, but they should not
assume that they have hit upon

The supreme need of the
world, this Englishman earnestly
urges, is peace among the ma

wars, and all history is a rec
ord of that fact from Caesar
down to Bismarck. The danger
spots of the world today are not
founo in the countries which
cling firmly to a democratic

Platt Amendment Repeal
Seen as Surrender
By James T. Williams, T.

Abrogation OF the Platt
Amendment will sever the tie
which has bound the United
States and Cuba in a most
neighborly of relationships
since Cuba became a Republic.
The Cuban people did not win
their independence. 1t was won
for them by the United States.
AS a result of the war with
Spain and the liberation of
Cuba from the yoke of Spanish
rule, it was obvious that Cuba
required protection if Cuban in
dependence was to be main
tanned.
Unwilling to admit Cuba to
Statehood, the Platt Amendment
was agreed upon as the most
feasible method of enabling the
United States and Cuba to safe
guard their mutual rights and
discharge their mutual respon-
Sibilities.
Sole Purpose
There never was the slightest
intention on the part of the
United States of abusing the
power of the Platt Amendment
to interfere in the domestic
affairs of Cuba. It's sole pur-
pose was to enable the United
States to assist the Cuban
people in preserving their indie.
pendence.
When the President calls upon
the Senate to advise and con-
sent to abrogation of the Platt
amendment in order that this
country may renounce those
rig h s.. of interference in
Cuba" he has apparently not
been given by the Department
OF State all the papers in the
case.
Among these papers is one
sent by Elihu Root, Secretary
OF War, to Leonard Wood, gov
ernor general of Cuba, under
date of April 3, 1901, in which
Mr.. Root said:
"YOu are authorized to state
officially that in the view of the
President, the Intervention de-
Scribed in the third clause of the
Plat Amendment is not synOn-
ymOuS with intermeddIing or
interference with the affairs of
the Cuban government, but the
formal action of the Govern
ment Of the United States.
based upon just and substantial
grounds, for the preservation of
Cuban independence, and the
maintenance of a government
adequate for the protection of
Life, property, and adequate for
diScharging the obligations with
respect to Cuba imposed by the
Treay of Paris on the United
States"
OF the mutual benefits
which the Platt Amendment
was designed to bestow and of
its real meaning and purpose,
Mr.. Root in his annual report
as Secretary Of War for 1901
The Washington times., 1934-05-31

"Cuba has acquieSced in our
right to say that she shall not
put herself in the hands of any
other power, whatever her
necessities, and in our right
to insist upon the maintenance
of free and orderly government
throughout her limits, however
impoverished and desperate
may be her people. COrelative
to this right is a duty of the
highest obligation to treat her
not as an enemy, not at arms
length as an aggressive COM
mercial rival, but with gen.
erOsity which toward her will
be but Justice; to shape our
laws so that they shall con-
tribute to her welfare as well
as our own
"ASide from the moral obi
CATION to which we committed
ourselves when we drove Spain
out of Cuba, and aside from
the ordinary considerations of
commercial advantage invOl-
we'd in a reciprocal treaty,
there are the ightieSt
reasons of American public
policy pointing in the same d.
rectiOn; for the peace of Cuba
is necessary to the peace of the
United States; the health of
Cuba is necessary for the
health of the United States.
The same consideration which
led to the war with Spain now
requires that a commercial ar.
rangement be made under
which Cuba can live"
When the Roosevelt admins.
tration entered power in March
of last year, it faced the i'm
perative duty of making a new
com ercial arrangement
under which Cuba can live"
Supine Surrender
This the beet sugar Senators
and Representatives in Con-
greSs have long opposed.
Instead of insisting that the
United States discharge it's OBJ
legations to Cuba by the negotia-
ton of a reciprocity treaty
under which Cuba can live"
the Roosevelt administration
has apparently yielded to the
demands Of the sugar beet Sen
ators and Representatives in
Congress ard negotiated a treaty
for the abr >gation of the Platt
Amendment
1t is a victory for the beet
sugar States but it has been
won at the expense of Cuba's
welfare, of the national defense
of the two countries and Of
American honor.
The Senate'S consent to the re-
peal of the Platt Amendment
will mean merely another SUI
pine surrender of the Federal
Government to the sugar lobby
which lobbied through Congress
the Infamous anti-Philippine
act a few months ago.
