No matter how fervently ma
tionalist or free-trade in principle
our planned future policy may be,
the jostle Of world circumstances
will be almost certain to take us
across middle ground. With the
modern world as it is, absolutely
free trade is a dream probably
never to be realized; and so is a
completely independent national
economy. Somewhere between
these improbable extremes lies
the proper course; and that is the
course We are following now. But
the trouble is that We have at
present no markers set up to
guide on. With great spirit, but
with no commonly understood
destination, we are veering off
this way and that as obstacles
arise We are temporizing until
We have established a definite
marker which most of our people
will be willing to accept as our
destination for generations to
come.
II CAN NOT too strongly en-
Il phasize this peculiar diSad-
vantage of a middle course. The
phrase middle ground" suggests
continual compromise. 1t offers
refuge for indecision. 1t can be
made a persuasive excuse for first
giving in to this interest and then
to that one. To be crowded now
toward lower tariffs and then
toward higher ones is not to fol-
low a planned middle course. The
result indeed is to lose the adj
vantages, psychological and other
wise, of a clear-cut course toward
either extremity, and to take on
the handicaps of both.
A middle course need not be
indefinite. It can be clear-cut
and uncompromising, if we choose
to make it so. To begin with,
we can set up tentative markers
and discuss the gain and the cost
of a resolute march along that
line. And as a result of our dis
cuSSion we can far more definitely
reset the markers in accord with
the common will for the long pull.
The widest range of alternatives
between nationahsm and inter
nationalism 1 have roughly stated
thus: If we continue toward ma
tionalism we must be prepared to
make permanent the withdrawal
from cultivation of over fifty
million acres of fairly good farm
land. and face the consequences
Of all the social and economic dis
locations which are bound to en-
sue. If, on the other hand, we
choose not to put our agriculture
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-03-07

under so high a degree of interior
tension and discipline, We must
drastically lower tariffs and re-
organize industry, so that we can
receive from abroad another bill
lion dollars worth of goods each
year.
TINE planned middle course I
Il propose as a basis for pres
ent discussion is one precisely
halfway between these two eX-
tremes: A line of march along
which we would lower tariffs
enough to bring in another half
billion dollars worth of goods an
nually, and permanently retract
Of our good agricultural land
some twenty-five million acres.
To depict the pain this course
would cause industry on the one
hand, and agriculture on the
other, would be but to restate in
less demanding terms, facts and
speculations developed in previous
sections of this pamphlet, in re-
spect to the price of unmodified
isolation, on the one hand, and of
an unmodified drive for world
markets, on the other. The fact
that agriculture would suffer far
the more under isolation, and
that industry would bear the
brunt of changes necessary to
Widespread renewal Of world
trade, may here, however, be
briefly reiterated; for here is a
fact suggesting that a planned
middle course is the fairest and
wisest for ell concerned.
Whatever course we choose, I
should like here to emphasize
agriculture, finance, labor
every man and every woman in
. this country have a common stake
in seeing that we go back to
simple horse trading common
sense in our dealings with other
countries, and lay off all such in
tricete paper deals and debts as
put us where we we're on March
4, last. 1t would pay us all to
become more import minded. Let
us get it straight in our heads
that we should not make loans
abroad until we have first
achieved a lowering of tariffs
that will permit the repayment
of our loans.
This, in essence, should be our
New Deal method of dealing
abroad. Again and again, we
shall be tempted under stress to
postpone the New Deal method
goods for goods-and take an
other f1ier on the Old Deal loan
method, a contortion based on
the oldtime mercantile dream of
selling limitlesS quantities of
goods indefinitely, and buying
hardly anything.

CONGRESS- Gets
WORD OF TINES
VETERAN PROBE
GriSWoId Requests Inquiry
Based on Reports of
Estate Losses.

The attention of the lower house
of congress has been called to the
investigation of The Times con-
corning alleged mismanagement of
veterans estates at Marion, Ind,
it was revealed today with publica-
ton of the current issue Of the
Congressional Record.
Representative Glenn Griswold,
Peru, denying that veterans legis-
lation was used to corral votes, said,
according to the Record: In this
country we have approximately
24,OOO incompetent cases, wards OF
the veterans bureau, helpless men
with dead minds in living bodies.
Il want to call attention to a
case where, according to a leading
Indianapolis newspapers investiga-
ton, wards were deprived OF S317 900
by one institution which was guar
dian for less than one hundred of
these wards. The officers of this
institution formed reai estate
company with the same officers as
those of the institution as officers
of the real estate company, and
then sold real estate bonds to the
wards when the taxes had been de-
linquent on the real estate for two
years, and the guardians report was
approved by the Veterans Admin
istration."
Mr.. Griswold accused the Vet
Grams Administration of failing to
make a proper investigation of al
legged mismanagement of these es-
tates. He asked that impartial in
vestigators conduct an inquiry.

WRITER ADMITS
NUISANCE VALUE.
OF ROBINSON
Republicans Never Defend
lndiana'S Senator, Says
Tucker.
ours is a noble heritagel"

ours is a noble heritagel"
What Hoosier hasn't heard Sena-
tor Arthur R. Robinson declaim
that phrase?
1t is one Of those which causes
Ray Tucker. Washington staff
writer for Golfers magazine, to
confer the title Of "Copy-book Sen
ator' on him in the issue Of March
10.
Throughout the article. Mr..
Tucker diagnoses Senator Robin
sons personality and career. He in
PRODUCES that favorite phrase Of the
now senior senator from Indiana
with the following description:
Speeches May Be Bizarre
His speeches may sound bizarre
in the senate, but he knows what
tune to dance to and what hands
TO shake in the backWoOds districts.
He draws large crowds of the cur
ious when he kicks his way through
the leaves and dust of country lanes
behind the local fife-and- drum
corps and he pleases the vanity of
the home folks when he gives out
the news that Ours is a noble heri-
tage-which is his patent medicine
prescription for beginning and end
ing campaign talks"
Senators Smoker in Seats
How Senator Robinson rates at
Washington is set out by Mr.. Tucker
saying:
The senate's attitude toward him
would have withered a sensitive
man long ago. 1t laughed in his
face when he tried to blame the
Wilson administration for the oil
scandals, and when he held John
J. Raskob responsible for the boom
and crash. but he actually enjoyed
the excitement he created.
"Snickering in their seats, Repub-
licans never defend him when
Democrats cuff him around. and
nobody dreams of suggesting that
his detractors be called to order for
obviously unparhamentary remarks.
The Democrats cOncede, ruefully,
that he has a great nuisance value.
He is. without doubt, the lone
soonest figure on Capitol Hill. When
other senators clump out of a COM
mittee or caucus room arm in arm,
joking and jabbering, Robinson
slips along last and alone. Even on
the floor. sitting or speaking, he is
ringed by loneliness.
BOrah Enjoys Performance
His hating reading of speeches
filled with housemaidS' jargOn sets
his listeners bowling. once he hits
upon a phrase which impreSSeS him
as especially moving. such as Ours
is a noble heritage, he masticates it
as if it we're a favorite dish, pauSing
each time so that the senate. too,
may taste this delicacy he has con-
cocted"
A real orator, Senator Borah,
never misses these performances
and looks upon them as splendid
amusement. MI. Tucker writes.
