Further Observations on the
justification of Vivisection

demanded 1t. Scientists have died in
an effort to develop something that is
now beneflting you. And yet you crit
icize it. Animals are used In general
because they are considered less val
uable than the life of human being
To let your dog die the horrible
death produced by rabies would be
inconsistent with your views; to give
him a protective serum would also be
contrary to your ideal. What are you
going to do? Will you put him to
death. swiftly and painlessly? If this
is done you are unnecessarily depriv-
ing a dear animal Of its precious life.
and. of course, good anti-vivisec-
zionist would not do this. The final
analysis is that it is impossible for
an anti-vivisectionist to be consistent
with his false beliefs.
Kindness is thing to be proud of
and gentleness a thing to be honored,
but false application of virtues is un-
just, unwise and foolish.

Proposes Titles for
American Nobility
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your recent editorial entitled "Ad-
vantages of the King" was whimsical
gem. The idea of the President con-
ferring titles upon his cabinet officers
in payment for services to the coun-
try, Just as the King Of England
discharges similar obligations, Is in
teresting and intriguing. If you will
permit me to elaborate somewhat on
your plan, / have some suggestions
that may or may not be improve
ments.
Instead Of making these titles merely
suggestive OF the localities from which
these gentlemen hail. why not make
them descriptive of the noble service
they are rendering the country?
Take, for instance. the case of the
gentleman whose duty 1t is to instil
into the minds of the brood sows of
the country a sense of proportion in
the matter OF reproduction. He is
bound To impress upon these porcine
mothers the unpleasant fact that II
they persist in ignoring the Govern
ment fiat of race suicide in the hog
families Of the Nation 1t viii be neces-
sary for him to kill their surplus
offspring. On this invaluable public
servant let the title lord high exc
cutioner of the pigs be conferred.
This automatically brings us to the
case OF the gentleman who is sworn
to see that only two rows of cotton
shall grow where three grew before.
The unusual circumstance of the
American taxpayer being compelled to
pay for the row that didn't grow
makes it necessary for this man to
have an unusual title. For him !
suggest the poobah Of plow-under.
For the man who has industry and
business doing an almost continuous
st. Vitus dance because of his au-
thority to dictate their every move, I
had title picked out that was a
humdinger. I have decided it is too
grand a title for him. The thing that
made me change my mind was that
prison sentence meted out to the poor
little tailor who cut his price five
cents on pressing suit of clothes.
So this gentleman will have TO be
satisfied with the title of imperial
potentate of the pants pressers.
For the man or men whose duty
1t Is to dish out money to every Tom,
Dick and Harry who say. Sam. l
need some dough. How about it?" a
nice title would be prince purveyor
Of the public purse. An appropriate
title for each member of Congress
who authorized much of this prodigal-
ity would be maharajah Of madhouse
I had another title for them, but ]
know you would not print it,
All of which brings us to the ines
capable conclusion that unborn gen.
erations of Americans will some day
confer a title on these men. 1t prob
ably will be wreckers of the exchequer

Vivisection Causes
Cruelty and Hardness
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
If vivisection were responsible for
better health conditions, If the prod
ucts of vivisection would and could
do all they are claimed to do, there
would still be one serious drawback
in this phase of scientific investiga-
tion and experimentation. 1t tends
to breed and create coldness, cruelty.
brutality and indifference to the pain
and suffering of others in the hearts
of men and women. Consider this in
respect to our younger men and
women, those now attending colleges
and universities, who are just at the
time of life when their natures are
still quite plastic and very susceptible
to what is taught them: you will see
that these unhealthy characteristics
are instilled at this age and are in
clined to linger lifetime. Consider,
further, this same youth grows into
maturity to serve mankind in its
hour Of suffering and distress, this
same youth with its callous and un-
feeling heart.
How much greater and better would
it be TO have those who are in power
and authority, those who are destined
to teach the younger, with hearts
filled with mercy, justice, kindness,
sympathy and understanding, togeth-
er with logic and reason. How much
greater it would be to send these
young men and women into the world
to minister to society when their
hearts have been taught mercy and
kindness instead of being instilled
with cruelty and hardness brought
about by vivisection. Vivisection
causes untold and unnecessary suffer-
ing to the animals and 1t causes un-
told and unnecessary harm to men
and women who are taught it and
practice it. Cease this form of
cruelty, seek for natural methods of
living and combating disease. live
under sanitary conditions, then you
can Justly and rightly call yourselves
Christians, living in a Christian era.

President Wins Attention

The unique place Of America rs q

Germany's Money Crisis.

1t is almost exactly three years
ago this week that President Won
Hindenburg sent his celebrated s o
S to Washington on the tottering
German financial situation. The
result was the Hoover one-year mora
torium on intergovernmental debts,
whereby there was prevented what
otherwise undoubtedly would have
been an economic crash OF world
wide dimensions.
Today Germany's finances are
again in grave disarray. The Reichs-
banks gold reserve has shrunk al
most to the vanishing point, owing to
the steady drain caused by an in
creasingly adverse foreign trade bal
ance. Talk of devaluation of the
mark is rife. A buying panic" de-
signed to increase the peoples hoard
of goods, is in progress, induced by
the fear that another era of paper
money imitation may be imminent.
CircumStantial reports are current
that suspension Of payments on Ger
many's commercial debts held abroad
may be followed by stoppage of pay
ments on the Dawes and Young plan
reparation bonds, the net effect of
which would be tantamount to con-
fession of Germanys bankruptcy. DR..
Schacht, president of the Reichsbank,
is a resourceful financier. He Is
sternly opposed to devalustion of the
mark or other drastic recourses that
could further imperil such credit as
Germany has left. But fast marching
circumstances may overpower him
and thwart his good intentions.
On Monday, in a desperate move Ia
hold the mark at par. despite the
thinning gold reserve, which has
dropped to note -coverage of barely
three and half per cent, the Reichs-
bank announced a temporary suspen-
sion of exchange clearance arrange
ments. The immediate purpose is to
check for period of two weeks all
payments for imports from ten
countries with trade balances un-
favorable to Germany-France, Swe-
den, Norway, Finland, Belgium, Por-
tugal. Italy, Holland, Spain and
Switzerland The desire is not to stop
all payments abroad but to close up
loopholes through which there has
been a free exchange of goods and
payments outside of rigid govern
ment control. Exports from the
United States are involved, because
considerable quantity Of American
goods has found its way into Ger
many through some Of the countries
affected by the new control order
The maneuver is a further step in the
direction Of a governmental imports
monopoly.
If DR.. Schacht's extremities goad
him to the point of declaring a mora
torium on the Dawes and Young loan
payments. international protests and
complications will be inevitable, to
say nothing of the internal crisis
that would be precipitated within
Germany itself. The reparation bond,
are largely held by individual citizens
Of foreign nations. including the
United States, and the government,
involved would not stand by with
folded arms in the presence of q Ger
man default.
1t has been not inaptly suggested
that in declining to meet its obliga.
tions at this time, the Reich NAV be
inspired by the example of the Euro.

Laying a Radical Ghost.

That big bad radical, Mr.. Rexford
G. Tugwell, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture and head of the Roosevelt
brain trust" was only a myth. after
tion. Mr.. Tugwell himself laid the
ghost of this myth at the hearing be-
fore the Senate Committee on Agri-
culture, which has been considering his
qualifications for appointment as un-
dersecretary Mr.. Tugwell's testimony
was one long denial of things which
hostile Senators seemed to think that
Mr. Tugwell believed He denied that
he believed the Constitution of the
United States should be cast on the
ash heap. He denied that he believed
the Russian Soviet form of govern
ment should be imported into the
United States. He denied. even, that
he was friend of national planning
and insisted that he disliked intensely
the very word planning"
The Senate committee spent so
much time yesterday finding out what
Mr. Tugwell did not believe and quar-
reling among themselves that they
neglected quite to find out what the
youthful college professor does be-
lieve In a general way he gave praise
to the Roosevelt administration, with
its A. A. A. and N. r. A. and the rest
of its alphabetical RECOMMENDATION. But
If he had any advanced thoughts on
social reform they were not brought
out by the committees questions. Mr..
Tugwell did not go out of his way to
suggest what his own philosophy of
government might be. He was, he said
a determined enemy to bringing the
Russian form of government into this
country. unless, he said, ninety-five
per cent of the people wanted it. And
he made the obvious remark that if
ninety-five per cent of the people want
a thing they will have it, He said
frankly that he did not think that
soviet would work in this democratic
Nation
If there are radicals who admire
Mr.. Tugwell and hoped that he would
stand the committee on its ear with
an earnest defense of radical meas
ures, they must have been disap-
pointed at the hearing yesterday. So
constant was Mr.. Tugwell in his reit-
eraticn that he did not believe in any
planning that would upset in any
way the American Constitution and
the laws, that even his critics finally
tired Of asking him if he favored such
a move. Mr.. Tugwell admitted moth
ing. He did good job of it. When
his interrogators read to him snatches
from his speeches and writings which
seemed to the ordinary layman's
mind to show that he favored a
planned economy" that was in effect
industrial socialism, Mr.. Tugwell said
that he had spoken only as a scien-
tist discussing this subject, that he
had no love for such planning and
that, indeed. he was presenting an
argument against its adoption. This
was too much for some of his critics.
They were flabbergasted.
OF course, it would be interesting
and perhaps advisable to know what
Mr.. Tugwell really does think about
the Government and institutions of
America He has mentioned what he
does not like in the way Of change
and planning, and for the time being
it will have to go at that. His con-
firmation as Undersecretary of Agri-
culture on the showing made before
the Senate Committee seems assured.
He appeared at times during the
hearing veritable conservative.
