Poor and Starving, They
Are Embracing Red
Doctrines.
BL WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-While
the spotlight is beating down on Eu-
rope and events nearer home, in the
shadows of the far east trouble is
cooking up which threatens once
more to focus world attention on
that part of the globe.
China's masses, 45O00O,000 strong
are in danger of running amuck.
Abandoned by the rest of the world
to sink or swim in their own pow
erty and misery, they are drifting
on a course which may make the
Boxer uprising a third of a century
ago seem mild.
The warships of four nations-the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Japan-are on the alert. For
eigners in large inland areas have
been warned to be ready to rush to
treaty ports on short notice.
China Going Red"
Foreigners assert that China is
going Red" What passes for Com
munism in that country is spread
ing, despite the most vigorous cam
paigns of Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek, Chinese strong man, and
his second in command, young
Marshal" Chang Hsueh-liang, for
mer war lord of Manchuria, with
headquarters now at Hankow.
What is taking place in China is
not really the result of Communism.
Her millions, wallowing in poverty
and beSet by civil wars ,banditry,
fl S, drought, famine and
pestilence, are cropping about des-
perately looking for a way out.
Anything that seems to promise
them regular food and jobs, they
grab onto like a drowning man
grabs at a straw.

Inefficient Housing
Government Offices

The failure of Congress to take steps looking toward fnanc
ing of the first unit the Municipal Centera project started
many years agodenotes amazing unwngnes the part
Of legislators provide for the efficient operation of the
local government.
Local taxpayers acting under the nsstence of Congress
the grandose schemes of few Federal officials have already
snnk about $6,0O0,000 into the enterprise.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THUS FAR HAS RE-
FUSED TO TAKE ANY ACTIVE SHARE IN THE FINANC-
ING OF THE HUGE PROGRAM, ALTHOUGH WHEN IT WAS
ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED BY FEDERAL OFFICIALS
THERE WERE MANY UNOFFICIAL PROMISES THAT
SUCH PARTICIPATION WOULD BE SUBSTANTIAL
Without such promises definite indications doubt
full the responding Congresses of few years ago
would have fastened such proposition upon
city Of half million population
Because of the refusal of Congress upon the Municipal
Center program the District finds itself in peculiar and dis
graceful position.
The present housing facilities for the city
absurd Offices scattered all town ancient and
demned buildings
Under the circumstances it is impossible to operate these
offices with the cohesveness which essential to efficiency
And this inefficient system of government prevails despite
the fact that the District has spent $000 for the purpose
establishing offices.
The land bought site of the offices lies idle It
will continue to do so until Congress acts
IF CONGRESS IS UNWILLING THAT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT SHOULD BEAR IT'S REASONABLE SHARE
IN THE COST OF THE PROJECTED OFFICE BUILDING
FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT, THE LEAST IT COULD
DO WOULD BE TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE DIS
TRICT TO OBTAIN LENIENCY IN THE MATTER OF LOANS

Costly Receivers
They Will Be Retained

They Will Be Retained
The bank epostors relief bill agreed upon in conference
and will shortly passed by both the Senate and House.
while marking great advance in the handling of the closed
bank situation, nevertheless has one serious fault
UNDER IT'S PROVISIONS, EVEN WITH THE MOST
LIBERAL ADMINISTRATION IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE
TO ELIMINATE THE COSTLY AND WAsTEFUL BANK
RECEVERsHIPs.
Those recvershps operating in thousands of closed
Institutions be paid for out of the funds the vcmzed
depositors
course deposors afford pay the high COSTS
yet they will have do if the receivers to be left in
charge of the affairs Of the banks.
One Of the important features of the bank relief pro-
gram originally conceived by Representative Clarence Nc
Ld the fact that receiversps would have terminated
almost Immediately.
With the termination of the recevershps the costs would
have accrued to the depostors and millions of dollars
being fuesy expended would have been saved for their
accounts
The bill which enactment and which Representa-
tive Mcleod and his supporters accepted when the leaders
created parliamentary situation which made compromise
essential makes it necessary to retain the receivers
Whereas under the Mcleod program the Government would
have bought the assets of the closed banks and acted its
own lquidang agent under the compromise bill the Gov
srnment will merely loan the securities and the receiver
ships will be retained until the loans paid.
WHILE THE PENDING BILL DOES NOT REACH THE
RECE1VERsH1P PROBLEM IN FULL, 1T DOES HOW
SACRIFICE OF THE CLOSED BANK ASSETS BY SACRI
FICIAL SALES. AT LEAST IT WILL DO THAT IF 1T IS
ADMINISTERED SATISFACTORILY BY THE RECON
gTRUCTI0N FINANCE CORPORATION
Instead of making forced sales in order up quda
NOn they compelled to do by law the receivers will
have opportunity obtain loans from the Government based
upon liberal appraisal of the assets
This should eliminate the orgy of shyockng the assets
which otherwise would have been inevitable.
The assets Of the banks holding the promise of substantial
advances in value through the normal of
would be snapped up at depression prices the Government
not to take some action.
- THE PASSAGE OF THE PENDING BILL SHOULD ACT
AS STAY TO SACRIFICING THE ASSETS DURING THE
NEXT FEW MONTHS UNTIL CONGRESS CAN RESPOND
TO THE DEMANDS OF THE PEOPLE THAT GOVERN
MENT FULFILL ITS OBLIGATION AND TAKE OVER COM
PLETE CONTROL OF THE CLOSED BANKS AND THEIR
ASSETS.

their education and Initiation at
appropriate ages to full citizen
ship and social membership"
If President Roosevelt adopts
the recommendation unani-
mously adopted at the Federal
conference on the problems of
American youth, he will soon
appoint a continuing commits
sion on youth problems as an
auxiliary of the Federal Office
of Education.
This commission will have
the services of a specialist in
the Office of Education and
one-third of its membership
will be made up of young
Americans under 80 years of
age.
Has Junked Needs
Among the duties of this pro-
posed commission will be the
following:
To recommend plans for ma
tional, State and local organ
izations to assure effective oper-
alton of a program in the field
of youth.
To foster interest in the prob
lens of youth by all Govern
ment agencies.
Under Federal leadership it
will endeavor to enlist the CO.
operation of State and local
agencies to find suitable en-
ployment for youth, and to ex-
pand and improve existing IA
cilities for education and guild
ance of youth and to encour-
age a better use of leisure time
among young Americans than
they now enjoy.
President Roosevelt showed
his concern for the problems of
jobless youth when he estab-
lished the Civilian Conservation
Corps camps, and again when
he continued these camps fer
another year, but Congress to-
day has manifested little inter-
est in this vital question. Con-
gress has practically closed the
door to thousands of jobless
youth, badly needed to bring
the Army and Navy to peacetime
strength, by refusing to au-
thorize any adequate increase
in the personnel of either Serv-
ice.
Congress has also junked the
urgent recommendations Of
Woodrow Wilson and succeed
ing presidents that American
youth be given an opportunity
to train with the colors for ma
tional citizenship in Citizens
Military Training Camps. In
stead of providing camps for all
young Americans who apply
and can qualify for this train
ing, Congress, when American
youth most sneeded this train
ing, has cut the camps this year
to fourteen thousand, when one
hundred thousand would have
welcomed the opportunity to at
tend.

The Congressional Record is
usually the acme of correctness.
Rarely, are sentences, words,
or even punctuation jumbled or
in error.
In the closing hours of Con.
greSS, however, clerks are appar.
emily becoming careless.
In a recent issue there is con-
tained on one page a portion of
the proceedings of the House.
Representative William B. Bank.
head, of Alabama, was making
one of his customary utterances.
The next page, however, re.
cords a part of the speech of
Senator William E. Borah, of
Idaho, and the entire page was
devoted to Senate proceedings.
Years ago a drafting clerk in
Congress made an error in an
act which was passed. He in
serted a comma in the wrong
place.
It cost the Government sew.
eral millions of dollars.
Like other officials Of the
Government, Secretary of In
terror Harold IckeS has created
an intelligence system of giant
proportions to carry on under
cover work in his department
and the PWA.
Its ramifications are so grea
that few people know the exac
number of workers engaged in
the secret work.
Creation of the spy organi6a
ton came because of the Score
tary'S fear of dishonesty. He
has horror of finding crooked
men in the vast organizations
he heads.
The secret police. however,
have stepped on important toes.
In one of the States was
PWA Official who made a busi.
ness trip to Washington which
was paid for by PWA funds.
A member of Ickes' secret
agency approached him at his
office at home and demanded
to know if his wife knew that
he had come to Washington in
company with his secretary. The
man referred the agent to his
wife, to the secretary's mother
and to the girls fiance. The
agent was satisfied but said:
"We also have information
that on another trip you regis
tered at a Washington hotel as
man and wife when, we are told.
you were not with your wife.
What about that?"
The official, angered, replied
THAT trip was personal. l
paid for it myself. 1t is none
of your business whether my
wife was with me or not. If the
organization I'm working for ms

And resign he did.

Congress Shirks Duty Toward
JObleSS American Youth
Blu James T. Williams, Jr.

How best to meet the chal-
lenge of widespread unemploy-
ment among young Americans
is one of the vital problems to
which President Roosevelt is
giving serious study. Before
starting on his cruise to the
Pacific, he will probably an
nounce some of the things he
intends to do about it.
The plight of jobless youth
was recently considered at a
special conference in the Fed
eral city, called with the ap-
proval of the President, and
held under the auspices of the
Federal office of education.
AS defined by the United
States Commissioner of Educa-
ton, DR.. George F. Zook, the
main purpose of this conference
was Ito find ways and means
to help youth bridge the dis
tressing gap between school and
unemployment"
His office finds that high
schools and colleges by the
end of this month will have
graduated their fifth class of
seniors since the beginning Of
the economic depression in
1929. For the most part those
five classes of high school stu
dents have entered a world
where there is little or no
demand for what services they
have to offer"
In this country today, it is
estimated, approximately four
million young Americans be-
tween the ages of IA and 18 are
not enrolled in high schools.
Some of these are excluded
from industry by code limita-
tions. Consequently they are
doomed to idleness until they
can return to school or become
old enough to be eligible for
employment under existing
codes.
Commission Necessary
OF those in the college-age
level, it is estimated that there
are seven out of college for
every one in college.
This situation is bad for
boys and girls. 1t is bad for
our nation" declares Commits.
siner Zook. And the reports OF
the conference over which he
presided comes to the same con-
clusion in these words:
"A hopeless despairing gen.
Grafton of youth is threat to
sound national development.
The welfare of youth deserves a
place in all plans of social re-
construction.
"The period of self-help and
youths responsibility should
dominate all programs 1nSti-
tuted for youth.
Adjustment should be effect
ed with organized economics
and social groups as they exist
today to permit youths such
share in the work Of the world
as is genuinely necessary for
