THE ARMS EMBARGO

CONGRESS is to be commended for it's
speedy passage of the Chaco arms en-
barge resolution. 1t is to be hoped that the
President can as quickly reach an accord with
the other munitions producing powers and
thus choke off the sale of implements of
death to the war-mad governments of Bolivia
and Paraguay.
But why was it necessary to have the
tragedy of these two small nations destroy
ing each other in order to galvanize us into
action? Much of the blood needlessly spilled
in the South American jungle stains the hands
OF our own munitions makers.
There will be other conflicts, which the
Chaco resolution does not cover. The gen.
eral embargo resolution should be passed. CIV
ing the President authority within his discre-
ton to cooperate with other nations in stop
ping munitions shipments to future bel
ligerents.

true to life endings, the effect is
quite the opposite.
Most all movies have a moral
value in spite OF the slangy, vulgar
language, scenes of fast life and
criminal life which Mr.. Hooper
mentions. All the stories have prac-
tically the same base. The hero,
the heroine and the villain. The
villain is always punished one way
or another for his miSdeedS.
The hero or heroine make mis-
takes, then are forgiven when they
change to the more righteous life
and live happily ever after"
Mr.. Hooper has a very poor slant
on the true life of the modern gen.
Grafton. Since he denounceS the
moving picture, he denounces the
very idol of the majority Of the ma
ton.
The modern person is happy,
carefree, bit naughty at times but
wholly human in his wish to see
life as it really is, not as our grand
fathers said 1t was.
If Mr.. Hooper should take time
of to study a bit about human ma
ture, he would learn that the peo-
pie of these modern times are no
worse than those in the generations
before us. We can read about 1t IN
the newspapers or hear it over the
radio now. People are much more
civilized.

THE LIGHT THAT FAILED

GENERAL weeks ago The Times compl-
~ mented the police department on the erec-
ton of automatic traffic signals at dangerous
corners, especially where there are six street
openings on the four diagonal thoroughfares
which are routed from the downtown section.
The praise for erection of the signs stands,
but the police department has overlooked one
important phase which may result in more
harm than good.
Any autoist driving south on Capitol ave-
nue., approaching New York street. for instance,
will have difficulty in seeing the electric sign.
In fact, unless his car is in the center of the
street, his vision of the automatic signal is
blocked because the police department has per-
mitted the old yellow ''stop" sign to stand.
The old signs which are blocking the mo-
torists' view of the new ones, should be re-
moved at once.
If it is necessary to have some warning dur
ing hours when the automatic signals are
turned off, let the police department. place the
warning on the street surface.
This plan will work much better and may
prevent accidents which the present system
surely will cause.

EXPECT WOUNDS If
YOU ARE STRIKING
Rx a Real silk Worker

By Real silk Worker
I have worked at Real Silk for al
most eight years and can say that
I always have been treated right
and always have made decent
wages. Will some striker please
come forward and explain to me
why strikers squawk as soon as the
law takes hold of them when they
go on bombing homes of peaceful,
greatful workers, beating people with
brass knucks, beating girls on the
head with monkey wrenches and
fighting with garden rakes?
Take your medicine, you started
the fun. Put on your striker signs.
No wonder innocent people were
hurt. The cops didn't have chance.
I saw it from my home. That bus
load of cops had a perfect right to
shoot. I saw that bus rocked before
the strikers knew there were cops in
it. I saw a boy with black sweater
on throw at it. He was in a yard
only a few feet from my home.
If spectators had been home
minding their business they wouldn't
have been hurt. If you go to war
expect the wounds of battle. This
is a Real Silk strike.

DECISION NEEDED

TINE bitter argument touched off by the
l. Darlcw report Gil the MIRA is just one
more bit OF proof that a good part of our
troubles today arise because we aren't quite
sure just what we want planned economy
to do.
On one hand the NRA gets condemned as
too radical. Mr. Darrow replies that it is not
half radical enough-that it tends to CONCEAL
the existing order in monopolistic form.
Furthermore, the Darrow report itself re-
fleets similar contradiction.
In one paragraph it complains that the
codes tend to extinguish competition, by which
alone can the original virtues of the old-time
American society be kept alive; in another
paragraph it asserts that competition must, by
the very nature of things, be wolf1sh and cruel.
And in rebuttal, General johnson and Mr..
Richperg assert that the NRA is fine and
lofty character under which we shall all find
our way to new freedom.
All right, then-where are we? What kind
of yardstick can we apply to this tremendous
movement? How far do we want to keep COM
petition alive? To what extent do the i'll effects
of free competition balance it's benefits? How
capably can the authorities protect the or
binary citizen from monopolistic abuses which
may spring up under the codes?
These are not questions that can be an
swered offhand. They need a great deal of
study; and it is highly regrettable that the
men Immediately concerned are conducting a
personal argument with one another, and call
ing each others motives into question, when
an unbiased and detailed examination of
these issues is needed very badly.
But in the long run even such determine
ton of the facts will not be enough For in
the end the course to be taken must depend
on the goal which the majority wants to reach
and we don't seem to have made up our
minds as to what that goal shall be.
We haven't thought our way through the
NRA problem yet in spite of the fact that the
NRA has been in existence nearly year.
We want smoother and more efficient in
duStrial life, of course-we want more Jobs,
higher wages, better profits, and much less
uncertainty. But we haven't figured much
farther than that
Before the MIRA can function properly, we
shall have 70 sit down and decide exactly what
sort of blend of competition and monopoly we
are shooting at. Until we do, squabbles like
the present one will continue to arise - and
they won't be very instructive.

QUICK TO RECOVER

THE fire that swept the Chicago stock yards
district was fearfully destructive and
costly thing. However, it is a fairly safe bet
that the devastated area will be pretty large
ly rebuilt almost before the rest of the
country has stopped talking about it, That
is the way Chicago does things.
Chicago knows how to recover from dis
astrous fire. The one of 1871 would have
been enough to crush any city but one gifted
with limitless energy and courage.
1t goes without saying that the same spirit
that rebuilt the city after that disaster will
rebuild the stock yards district today.
For whatever you may think Of some Of
the politicians who have disgraced Chicago's
name in recent years, you must admit that
the city knows how to take a wallop on the
chin and keep right on going.

CONDITIONS AND WAGES
AT FILLING STATIONS

BY Reader.
I wish to thank you for your stand
on the strike at Real Silk and want
to say that your paper is the best
liked in our no mean city.
I am a filling station service man
and think you ought to know the
conditions under which we work.
Before the NRA came, we worked
from twelve to eighteen hours a
day. seven days week. Now,
thanks to the President, we work
forty-eight hours at fair to good
salaries. But what will the COM
pany do after the NRA no longer
can help us? Well be right back
where we were. What is the alter
native? Union? Sure, but if it's
found out you'll lose your job.
The company holds meetings on
our time and only last week the
assistant division manager of all
filling stations in Indiana came out
and told us that if we join the
union we'd be walking the streets
and for us to think of our families.
I'm a married man and I make a
fair salary, but remember. we buy

My Windows
BY EFFIE WORKMAN

I have two, high, wide windows
Above my kitchen sink.
And when I do my work there
I look from them and think.
The book I read comes back to me,
The memory of a play
Or picture that I went to see
With friends, the other day.
I have climbed the highest noun
tairs,
Loved sunsets On the plains,
Have stood in awe before the
Sphinx,
And travelled to castles in Spain,
With my hands ever busy with
housework,
My thoughts have roamed far away
Through these two, high, wide
windows
Before which I stand each day.
My neighbours flowers, so gay and
bright
Nod to me, across the lawn.
And high up, over the housetops,
The blue sky peeps in each morn.
can see the robins feeding their
young
In a large old cherry tree,
And I'm glad my windows are high
and wide
There is SO much in life to see

! It no longer is possible to ignore this LABOR
unrest, 1t no longer is possible to continue
the pretense that local authorities can handle
these situations. 1t no longer is possible 10
to hope that the weak federal concillatlon
agencies will prove adequate.
: We are in for a period of widespread in
dustrial disputes. We can't laugh that oil
and we can't curse it off.
: We can not prevent the disputes so long
as this is free country.
But we can prevent these disputes from
nroducing the violence, the waste and the all
round misery and defeat which go with un-
curbed industrial warfare.
IF we can't if the American people through
their government must sit by helplessly Watch-
ing capital and labor fight it out with violence

Democracy. If democracy can not protect the
Fundamental rights of labor to organize and

democracy has failed beyond salvage. Inc
whole purpose of government is to make JUS
4ice and freedom secure through oroerIy
noeans And that does not mean some ShadoWy
noIitical Justice and freedom; the test is
Economic justice.
: Precisely at that crucial point the United
States government today is falling down.
Z There is a labor department Cancellation
service. there are NRA compliance machinery
and industrial boards, there are special poaroS
for oil and automobile and other Industries,
and there is the temporary national LABOR
board and it's regional branches. But all OF
these casual, duplicating and indefinite agen-
eeies put together haven't enough power ana
prestige to make the least impression OF
shrst-class labor conflict. This is not a matter
Sof ouinion. it is an unacceptable fact attested

fronts today.
( Having waited so long to provide against
the industrial warfare that has been brewing
for a year, there is no quick and easy way out
now. But there are certain obvious things
that can be and should be done at once by the
government.
: One is strict enforcement of the industrial
recovery acts labor provisions by the attorney
general and other law agencies.
; The other is immediate enactment by con-
Sgress of the Wagner labor disputes bill in such
form that it will protect labor's rights, the
minority as well as the ma jortty, without CIV

that bill should create permanent national
