RIGHTING A WRONG

On several occasions in the past two
and one-half years, this column has de-
plored the apparent apathy in the Lind
bergh case, and it is with the sincerest
pleasure that we admit we were hope
lessly wrong.
The arrest of Bruno Hauptmann and
subsequent developments, proves that
far from being asleep on the job the law
was awake "a hours each day and was
active with a painstaking deliberateness
In the face of tremendous odds which
might well discourage all concerned with
the case to the point of abandoning it.
Only men inspired to an extreme de-
gre by desire to right, insofar as pos
slble, one of the greatest wrongs any up
standing American citizen has ever been
compelled to bear, could persevere in the
difficult task assigned to the detectives
and to them is due vote of thanks at
least, from the American people for their
splendid work.
The comparatively meager salary paid
to police officials, cannot compensate
these men. Nothing can do that except
the inner satisfaction they must feel at
the success which has crowned their eff
forts.
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh have
brought nothing but glory to their coun-
try. It was this fact that made the
crime committed against their home such
an atrocious and deplorable one That
they are on the eve of being avenged in
the only way society can permit such a
thing, is unquestionaby a cause for ma
tion-wide satisfaction

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-Mark
this down. The senate munitions
inquiry committee is delaying ex-
posion Of the really big bomb
shells. Either in November or De-
cember the most dramatic evi-
dence will be produced.
Investigators admit privately
that the inquiry has "just begun" !"
Army, navy, political and banking
angles will be developed after hear
ings resume in November.
There have been sly intimations
that Cordell Hull secretary of state
and Daniel Roper secretary OF COM
merce would personally not be
averse to lifting the lid of the
pandora box of evidence the mu-
nitions committee has relating to
operations of munitions firms in
foreign countries.
However the two, with diplomats
barking at their heels, did the only
thing they could. They went up to
the committee and told officially
how they felt about matters. Un-
officially they felt otherwise.
More American citizens living
outside the country, have their
homes in Italy, than in France or
any other European country. How
ever of 429,209 living outside the
border, 248,0l2 live in Canada.

partment data on the subject: It

READY FOR THE JOB

THE deliberate improvement of the NRA,"
prophesied confidently by Donald Rich
berg TO Chicago Rotarians. will depend upon
more than the wisdom with which Mr. Rich
berg's industrial emergency committee formu-
lates policies and the new national industrial
recovery board reviseS existing codes
Great policies and great codes will not
operate unless there Is intelligence and integ-
rity OF those placed in charge of enforcement.
One thing that makes President Roosevelt's
proposed capital labor truce possible of
achievement is the confidence in the good
judgment and effectiveness of the national la
Dor relations board in handling labor dis
putes
But the administration has not yet desig-
mated the agency which is to have charge of
the other phase OF enforcement-that which
concerns unfair trade practices such as mis-
representation, fraud and secret rebates pro-
hibited in many codes. Honest employers will
feel secure If enforcement of fair competitive
practices is turned over to some trusted and

rot believe. he helps Us see what We really do
believe.
The essence of his theory is that the New
Deal-or any other effort to improve condi-
tons upon the capitalist foundation-must
fail in the very nature Of things.
Unemployment is inherent in modern CAPT
tahst society. The ills against which workers
protest can not be cured without putting So
ciety on a new foundation.
The divi-ion of hu nan beings into exploit
ers and exploited is fundamental, and the only
possible solution is to give the exploited COM
plete control.
1t would be hard to find one paragraph
which expressed more precisely the exact OPP
posite of the sentiment which animates the
New Deal
We are dedicated, that is to the theory that
the ills that have afflicted us in the last four
years can be cured within the framework of
capitalism.
We believe that unemployment is not a
necessary accompaniment Of modern, mass
production capitalism. We believe that the
worker and the consumer can be given a de-
cent break without destroying the rights of
employer and investor.
We believe that cooperation can be SUBJ
stituted tor exploitation in such way as to
help all hands and not for just one class
We believe all these things so firmly that
We have room for great diversity of opinions
as to the way in which our goal can be
reached. Most of the time we overlook the fact
that we are actually at a crossroads in our ma
tiOnal life.
The Russian leaders remarks remind us
that We are making great fight to prove that
the traditional American way of life can be
preserved. That is the real stake at issue in
the recovery program.
The way the battle is tought-whether via
the New Deal or some other kind of strategy
is relatively unimportant. The big thing is

determination to win it.

FEDERAL INCORPORATION

A NATIONAL incorporation act is sug-
n gested by the senate banking committee
as one remedy for financial abuses.
The committees latest report contains i'm
pressive evidence of how some holding COM
panies and investment trusts have been used
to plumber the investing public by legal meth
DDS. State regulation of corporations operat-
ing nationally has not been affective. A few
men can speculate riotously with the savings
of millions. making insecure the property
rights of widely-scattered and helpless stock
holders.
The committees suggestion of federal char
tiers seems to offer a logical solution States
rights arguments hardly can be sustained in
defense of a system which makes state laws in
effective.
The need of adequate regulation is ad-
mitted by such defenders OF the holding com
pany system as George Whitney, Owen D.
Young and o. P. Van Sweringen, and such a
champion of the investment trust as Clarence
Dillon.

Capitalism Branded Foe of Progress

greedy ingrates may retain and
increase their profits which the
workers have produced for them.
Evidently the desire for gold and
silver has not been the sole source
of inspiration for every invention.
Had it not been for the Unsuitable
dollar grabbers our productive
ability would have been practically
insuperable. Emphatically the
convenience of mechanical pro-
duction would promote and ne
cessitate more proficiency amongst
the mechanical contrivers than
just the mere lust for individual
gain.
With the system of production
for private profit, many of the in
dustrial geniuseS are deprived of
the advantage of their own inven-
ton, because of the lack of suffl-
Gent funds for completion of a
discovery.
Consequently, the patent is sold
to some manufacturer who utilities
it for selfish purposes, instead of
for the economic advantage of all.
Supplanting of the private profit
system by a new era of collective
ownership, social production and
more equal distribution apparent
ly is imminent, because the pro-
ducing class will grow weary OF
producing untold wealth while re-
ceiving scanty compensation from
the idle class.

FOR AMERICANS"

By Orie j. Simmons.
1t is significant that in 1917 a
Democratic President believed in
guarding the seas for the benefit OF
American shipping. 1t shows Re-
publicans are not alone as friends
of big business" even at the cost
of American lives.
There may be, probably will be,
war in Europe again soon. Has
Roosevelt the vision, the genius and
the nerve to tell the world:
The Monroe doctrine means
America for Americans. The cor
Rotary of this doctrine is, The old
world and its peculiar problems are
not our problems"
AS far as we are concerned it is
Asia for Asiatics; Europe for Euro
peans. and Africa for Africans. At
any rate, we should not spend lives
to protect any part of the world save
America and its immediate strategic
waters. Nor are visitors from our
land to foreign shores to be pro-
tected as they wander.
Shipments on the high seas dur
ing wartime shall be at the risk OF
the shipper or ship owner. No
longer does America need foreign
trade in order to live. We are de-
serting certain obsolete phases OF
our freedom of the seas" formula

war to avenge the, sinking Of ship

MORE SPOILS

MR.. AUSTIN United States census bureau
Iva director admits that some $4,000 deserv-
ing Democrats are to be employed to take the
agricultural census, beginning next January.
We admit the farm canvass is to be
taken under a law passed by a Republican
congress and approved by Republican Presi-
dent. We admit that, were the Republicans in
power, they, too, would award the $4,000 Jobs
to deserving partisanS as they have done re-
peatedly in the past. And we admit that
should Director Austin try to upset this ira
dition of spoils, the Farley-Hurja machine
probably would try to get his scalp, and
succeed,
But we wonder whether this is the best
way to do the job? How about the millions of
voters and taxpayers, who are neither profess
sional Republicans nor professional Demo-
Gratis but mere American?

RELIEF FOR u. S. TREASURY

NEWS that the treasury department is pre-
pairing to continue the task of convert
ing Fourth Liberty loan bonds into securities
bearing a lower rate of interest is a reminder
that we have a fine chance, in this way, to
relieve the current strain on the federal treas
ury.
This bond issue originally totaled a little
under $7,OOOOOO,OOO 1t bore "A per cent in
terest when issued Last spring approximately
S1,875,OO0O0O was converted into per cent
bonds At present some $1,25OOOOOO more is
being converted into 3A per cent bonds and
2l3 per cent notes.
Now it is planned to convert the remain
der Of the issue; and it is worth noting that
a substantial saving is in prospect Already
something like s33,OOO,O00 a year in interest
charges has been saved.
If the whole issue is converted, the annual
saving will reach s66.OOOOOO At time when
federal finances are being strained to the ut
most, such a saving is we'll worth making.

EXPLAINS DETECTIVES
OF COOPERATION PLAN

By C. A. Chambers
Let us put the United States on
a cooperative basis and see what
happens.
We will start at the farms and
produce what, for example, will be
shipped to our own mills. Flour is
made and sent to cooperative
warehouses from which cooperative
stores will be supplied. From pro-
duction to consumption it has been
carried on comparatively. Now
can't you see by having our own
farm land, ways and means Of
transportation, mills, warehouses
and stores we will be able to reduce
the cost of commodities? No mid
dleman has a chance to intervene
and make profit by his advertis-
ing and craftsmanship.
From every angle the co-opera-
tive society is organized on non
profit basis. This permits selling a
commodity at a lower rate.
In a cooperative organization
every one works for the benefit Of
every one as whole. and not just
for themselves. There is no cut
throat competition in the co-opera-
tive movement.
We would not need any consum-
ers' research or government bu-
reaus, because cooperative organi-
zation automatically stops the prac-
tice of short weights and measures
and improves the quality of all ne
cessities of life. No one can benefit
from dishonesty and poor quality.
The public would be saved millions
Of dollars by eliminating govern
ment bureaus and inspectors.
The cooperative organization can
not be built overnight; it will take
time to prove itself successful. Co
operative associations started on
farms and have moved gradually
into the activities of the city.
Persons are learning more about
this organization because they are
in distress and looking for way
out. AS long as persons are salts
fed they do not want to change.
but since the depression, many have
turned to the cooperative organi-
cations hoping for something bet
ter.

OLD THEORY DIES HARD

ME old, mosS-coVered theory that the sailor
u in the United States navy is a crude I'M
mannerly, and rascally lout seems to die hard.
1t may have been true in the days OF square,
rugged frigates. but it isn't true now and it
hasn't been for long time. Yet some people
still believe it.
New York authorities recently accused a
taXi-dance hall proprietor of permitting his
business to sink to the level of an ordinary
vice joint.
One of the dance girls was defense wit
ness. Insisting that all the girls at the hall
were refined and lady-like. she added that
even when the fleet was in, no girl walked out
with sailor"
There is something rather laughable about
this attitude. Where. do you suppose. does a
taxi-dance girl get off. assuming such superb
GRITTY to the bluejackets?
Considering the gang OF drug store cow
boys. gangsters apprentices. and loose-Ipped
corner loafers that infest most taxi-dance halls
We suggest that the tone of such joints would
be improved considerably if the sailors did pa
tronize them.
