Much remains to be done before this mys-
ferrous blight is conquered. The number of
cases is diminishing slowly, but last year in
forty-five states infantile paralysis laid low
1888 victims and claimed the lives of TIC of
them. In 1881 in forty-two states there were
1870 cases. 1887 deaths. This disease is not
as fatal as some. 1t takes only IS per cent of
those it strikes. But its aftermath of Wheel
chair patients is appalling.
1t Is fitting that the birthday of President
Roosevelt be dedicated to the conquest of this
plague.

PENNY WORTH O'HEALTH

XXTHEN you buy your Christmas seals you
w know that you are helping to purchase
for the nation the most precious commodity
health.
The long war on tuberculosis has proved
that health can be bought.
In 1900 the death rate from tuberculosis in
the registration area was 2O19 for each 100000
population. Last year it was sos. The down.
ward curve has been relentlessly steady. This
one-time white plague once stood at the top of
the list of killers among the diseases. Today it
is sixth Because of this fight the lives of more
than 100000 Americans are being saved every
year.
On this years seal is the picture of the
first cottage in the pioneering sanatorium of
Dr.. Edward Livingston Trudeau in the
Adirondacks. DR.. Trudeau went there to die.
But he learned-today it is medical truism-
that tuberculosis need not be fatal.
It can be cured and it can be prevented.
The annual Christmas seal sales have helped

Americans.

THE HOuDE CASE

ERANCIs BIDDLE. new chairman oil the
Il national labor relations board. is to be
congratulated on finally getting govern
ment suit fled in the Houde case.
But because Of two and half months OF
delay in the Justice department and because
Of the slowness Of federal courts, the case may
not get I'D to the United States supreme court
in time to guide congress in passing perma-
nent labor legislation.
That is unfortunate. MIRA expires next
June It is desirable that congress act
speedily on a permanent measure so industry
and labor can learn the future rules that are
to govern their relations with each other and
with the government.
In Section IA. congress tried to strengthen
workers legal right to bargain collectively with
their employer Then congress, through pub
lie Resolution A, authorized the President to
set up the national labor relations board as
machinery to facilitate such collective bargain
ing under the law. In its Houde decision the
NLRB-in line with many earlier decisions Of
labor boards during and since the World war
ruled that effective collective bargaining
must be based on majority representation Of
employees, the proper industrial unit to be de-
cided in each case.
The Houde company and others have re-
fused to recognize that decision.
Until the rights and obligations Of employ
ers and employees are defined clearly and
affirmed by the supreme court, industrial peace
will be insecure and recovery efforts retarded.

Indiana Lac ON Pension

That such a change is needed is
shown by action in Randolph
county, where only 81 was appro-
priated as a pension fund. That
county is the home county of
James P. Goodrich, former Repub-
lican Governor of Indiana, and is
known as Republican strong
hold. Results of the November
election indicated quite clearly
that the people of Indiana don't
want the Republican brand of So
cial welfare policy, and the old
age pension appropriation in Ran
dolph county is one of the reasons
why.
Other pension law changes adj
vocated by the Fables include an
increase in the monthly maximum
from SIS to $25; lowering the
starting age from 10 to IS; in
creasing the property exemption
to $500 and reducing the county
residence requirement from fifteen
to five years.
These changes would bring the
Indiana pension system up to the
standard of the system adopted in
Ohio by its voters with major
ity of more than 855,O00.
Indication that eventually old
age pensions will be paid through
a combined federal and state set
up will not justify delay in cor
recting the Indiana law. The COM
bined system may be one year, two
years or more away-the need of
Indiana's aged poor is acute and
present.

SANTA CLAUS PARADE
HELPFUL TO CHILDREN

BY Jimmy CafourOs.
What was wildly brought home
yesterday as one viewed the Santa
Claus parade that so delighted the
children was the potency of Amer
ica-its great possibilities in a world
of leisure.
How striking was the fact that
the world into which we grow up is
the world we accept! How evident
it was that a world of play, and
sunshine and fairy tales, and make
believe is the world for the young
folk!
With advancing leisure, America
should become nation Of great
artists-great architects, sublime
design, and incisive reasoning power.
America, it is only too evident,
leads the world in technologic adj
vance. Technologic advance means
that machinery does the work
formerly done by men. Every ma
chine is a wealth-producing unit.
In the old days slaves did much
of the work now done by machinery.
Greece, and more particularly
Athens and even Rome advanced to
that ultimate peak of civilization
they reached because some of the
people were freed from hunger
worry and devoted their time to
pursuit of knowledge.
America is in similar position
today. More power to the Santa
Clause parades. More power to edu-
cation. More power to leisure.
The children should be encour-
aged in their fairy story magma

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-12-01

The recently published report of
the indianapolis Chamber of
Commerce showing that the aver
age monthly old-age pension in
Indiana is $6.13 is convincing
proof of the need for drastic re-
vision of the pension law by the
1885 general assembly.
The same report showed that
Indiana is paying pensions to a
larger proportion of the aged in
the states population than is any
other of some fifteen states COW
cred by the Chamber of Commerce
survey. 1t is noteworthy that In
diana is paying far less month
than any of the other states.
It is proper to conclude that
Indiana is lax in applying its PEN
sion law, but that does not excuse
the pitifully inadequate monthly
pension. Against Indiana's $6.13
a month, is an average of $18.75
in the remainder of the old-age
pension states.
Indiana's law did not become
effective until Jan. 1 of this year.
since then, officials have learned
much about the application of the
law, and it is reasonable to believe
that next year will bring better
administration.
note that the Fraternal Order
of Eagles, the chief advocate of
establishing an old-age pension
system in Indiana, seeks amend
ment Of the pension law so that
county officials will be compelled
to appropriate adequate sums for
pensions.

NATION SHOULD FIGHT
AGAINST MORE WARS

BY L. NJ.
On the subject of war, at least,
we need a few fanatics in this coun-
try. Only flat refusal 10 fight on
foreign territory ultimately can pre-
vent our entering into ancthe--
world struggle.
The interests of the majority Of
Americans would not be advanced
by any offensive war in which we
conceivably could take part. If
Germany again should take arms
against the rest of Europe, if Russia
should conquer japan, if japan
perhaps, should invade China, our
trade would suffer only until We
could deal to advantage with the
new states emerging from the con-
fiict.
Most of our wars have been fought
in the interests of minority. It
generally is felt that our entrance
into the World war was caused by
our desire to protect our loans.
Those loans were not made by the
people, but by a few large indus
trialists who had the support Of the
government. Our fear of Japan
comes chiefly from the cries of
American oil interests in China, and
from those who tremble at the
tho. .ght of Japan selling more than
we do to South America.
I see no reason why concern
should have the backing of its gov
eminent when it deals with foreign
powers. If it is willing to take a
risk, it should not be allowed to use
the blood and the wealth of diSin-
terested people in maintaining its
prestige.
If war looms again, our militarists,
our manufacturers of arms, our
would-be war profiteers will send
out the old alarm: we must fight to
preserve democracy and civilization.
It may be that the church viii not
hold out against war, that ON
