NEWSPAPERS OPINION
MENAcEoF RADIcALIsM''

Newspaper correspondents at Washington report
that the administration is becoming gravely con-
eerned over the growing fear throughout the ma
ton that radicals in government posts are attempt
ing to revoutonize the economic and social lie Oh
the United States. Few are so backward as TO pc
lieve that force will accompany this attempted
overturn of cherished principles. The brain trust
ers are not Of that type. They can operate more nor
successfully through Bureaucracy which, in the
emergency is permitted to usurp legislative and
judicial functions.
The attempts of the administration to scott a.
the purported trend toward state socialism, conf
rnunism or whatever term may be used to describe
the radical movement are not succeeding. There
is growing conviction that thorough houseclean-
ihnr should eliminate number of the Presidents
advisers It will not be sufficient to remove them
from official position to reassure nervous public
The back door to the White House also must be
barred Doc Moley for example, eased out OF
his lob when he became liability. Yet he is back
at the canital and listed once more among the in
huental new dealers.
Distrust is mounting rapidly IN regard to the
detectives of Dr. Rexford Guy Tugwell assistant
secretary of agriculture and one OF the major
brain trusters. The amazing provisions of his bill
to reVamp the 1000 ana uruS aCCj iiiSiuuiliS vs.
metics, by comforting arbitrary power on the sec
rotary OF agriculture, with no appeal from one
man decisions, have resulted in loss of confidence
in the professors judgment other national PROB
lens. The Tugwell bill was dropped like hot po-
tato and less drastic measure, bearing another
name, was hastily prepared The damage was done,
however, when this leading administration adviser
disclosed the trend OF his program toward develop
ment of new social order The blunder, like that
of the cancelled airmail contracts, cannot be I'M
done by sudden about-face.
The country has been charitable in its attitude
toward the President, crticisng high departmental
officials but expressing confidence in the sincerity
of the executives efforts Presidential immunity 20
criticism cannot be guaranteed indefinitely how
ever, if no steps are taken to sdetraek the BRAIN
trusters and to minimize the influence Of some
cabinet members. The American public will not
forget that extraordinary powers were surrendered
by congress for the period of the emergency. In
view of that temporary expedient, 1t may well be
concerned over admissions of intent to give
permanency to a new social order. Fascism and
communism alike are anathema to the majority Of
Americans. Socalled practical politics has commit
ted many sins at Washington, but its mischief can
not compare with the dire possibilities of profess
serial theorists.-Muneie (Ind.) Star.

THE GOVERNMENTS BIG JOB

If the government can increase the earning pow
er of everybody in the South to the level obtain
ing IN the North, that will be fine 1t will be mag
nifcent. It will be wonderful. But the increase
must be general. 1t must be for ALL not for groups
only, else it Is plain that the whole existing situa
ton viii be thrown out of gear and for the popu-
laticn IN general the last end will be worse than
the first There will be the utmost confusion where
IN the past there has been at least some serblance
OF order. The pay proposed for coal miners in
Alaban1a-$27 80 week-may not be princely
but 1t Is twice as raueh, remember, rs the highest
paid school teacher in Ashville is nov, drawing IF
the government is going to require an increase of
the pay of miners from $2o.4O week to s27. 60.
what is it going to do for the teachers? The gov
eminent has right to play favorites. If it can
get as much money for Southern coal miners rs
for Northern coal miners it will be morally and
politically obligated to do the same thing for all
other southern workers-for lawyers, bankers doc.
tors, farmers, newspaper men, architects, preach
ers, teachers, college professors and al the rest of
us.

A father asks me how he can

good answer for this father,
Here it is: "Tell your bow you
don't want him to begin smoking,
until he is as old as you were
when you began" That certainly
is fair. isn't it?
What's that. You began smok-
ing back of the harm when you
were II. and have kept it up
without intermission ever since?
Umm-, er, my answer wasn't so
conclusive as thought, was it?
Well, try this one: "Son, don't
you ever begin smoking until you
are as old as your mother was,
when she began smoking" How's
/ that?
you don't believe that will
have much weight with the boy"
! Of course it won't; I know that
just as well as you do. Your son
wants to do what his father does;
and l don't know anyway in the
world of proving to him that his
father is not fitting model of
all the virtues. | should hate to
try to do so, even if l were so
discourteous as to think that you
aren't.
But what are you to do about
it,-you can't let him go on
smoking. for fear he'll stunt his
growth?' Well, frankly, I can't
answer that: you got yourself in.

get You out of it. -

OIIE STIONS AND ANSWERS

l III
QUESTION: Dear DR.. Richard
SON. 1t is so cold that I cannot
let my 10-months-old baby get
down on the floor to creep, or
walk. l am afraid he will not
learn to walk as soon or as we'll
as he should. Can you suggest
some exercise instead?
ANSWER: No artificial exer-
else can take the place of a
childs natural efforts at learn
ing to walk. Better stiffen your
bed by placing two or three
boards between the mattress and
the springs; and let him use this
as play pen. Better vet, have
a carpenter make platform the
size of an old double mattress,
with a low fence or rail around
it, elevated foot from the floor.
Put the mattress on this; and let
him exercise and crawl to his
hearts content.
QUESTION: Nv baby is very
constipated. All the books say to
give orange juice; but there is
where | am having trouble, for
this gives him loose stools, and
he fails to gain. I've stopped the
orange juice, and now he is con-
stipated again.
ANSWER: If the prescribed
amount of orange juice makes
the stools too loose, and none at
all cause constipation. why not
steer a middle course, and try
him on a half or a quarter of
amount that causes disturbance?
There probably is lust right"
amount somewhere along the
line. Find what that amount is.

THE WRIT INVESTIGATION

! The -clamor and ballyhoo raised lot the
purpose of discrediting old DIR. Writ Is
probably the greatest in volume and IN
iviciousness ever. known in the history OF
this country Every big and little radical
in the country is engaged day and night
lin this campaign; and the class Of polltl--
clans that would OK. the Devil and his
program if he masqueraded under party
label, is busy to a man aiding and abetting
the radicals. Many newspapers are me-
.tooing in the hullabaloo; thus raising the
question as to how much they merited the
freedom of the press that was guaranteed
under the former Constitution of the coun-
TRY. r,t ..,....... .--.
The Times-News pointed out some time
ago that the developments of the Writ in
.vestigation were of little significance, that
the Only thing needed to convict the radi-
Gals is a study of their records and what
they have done to the country in the past
twelve months. The charges of Writ are
met with chorus of denials from the peo-
pie named by him. 1t was forecast in many
Quarters that this was about all that would
be developed by the Writ revelations be-
fore Congressman Political Bulwinker's
committee.
Who believes that old DR.. Writ is a de
Hibernate liar? That, he manufactured and
cooked up the entire story about that din
ner in Virginia, with radical employees o.
the government and private citizen who
was Communist of such high standllnrs
that he has since become the chief repre-
sentative in this country of the Russian
Communist news agency?
l. Honest, unprecedented citizens OF all po
,litical parties know that the amount O.

Isive proof that there was fire at that din
iner party. r- ~ e.,
1t is true that the people assembled a
the party have been shown to be only
third or fourth class radicals in the order
of their Importance as government EN-
lployees; but DR.. Writ was warranted in
concluding that what these lower-downs
Mere thinking and saying was inspired by
the higher-ups. That was the foundation
of his charges. In, addition to that is the
record of the higher-ups, much of which
is in print or on record in form which
makes denial impossible.
Finally, why not let the radicals stand
on their collective record and be judged
by it? Their record in Washington fol-
more than IL months cannot be erased. II
is not necessary to call DR.. Writ or any
pther critic to testify against them. Let
the record proclaim what they stand fol-
and what they are trying to do.
