BACK TO ROYALTY .

IT is an odd thing. the way in which the
publc's attitude toward royalty has
changed since the war.
When thrones toppled in 1918, and Haps-
burg and Hohenzollern and Romanof went to
oblivion, We all assumed that the millennium
was just around the corner. Autocratic des
potism was going kingdoms we're being over
thrown, and the spread of democracy would
make all things right
But somehow it didn't work The kings
went, but despotism didn't. In some countries
things got even worse, so that people began
to look back with longing to the old days when
they had a king.
So now We find thousands of citizens of
the Austrian republic clamoring for the re-
turn of Archduke Otto and the restoration Of
the monarchy.
Their experience as a republic has 1isil-
lusioned them; and the fault is largely that
of the great democracies of the world, which
fixed things so that the Austrian republic
could not succeed

LABOR CAN'T AFFORD
STRIKE ADVERTISING
By o. A. L.

BY o. A. L.
Any organization of labor, on
strike, is up against odds at the
start, as it has almost no capital
and can not explain its position to
the public. The employer finds it
profitable to spend lavishly to in
1uence public opinion.
The strike at Real Silk, up to last
week, has been comparatively free
of advertising campaigns on either
side; but The Indianapolis Times,
refusing to censor the truth, showed
our position too clearly and the
public became too sympathetic with
US. Now, on every hand, Real Silks
advertising campaign for public
opinion is IN evidence. The Union
is the only organ of the Central
Labor Union in Marion county
Other labor" papers, cleverly sug-
costing Endorsements they do not
have, carry headlines favorable to
the company, and are used and dis
tributed by Real Silk to the outside
world as part Of the propaganda.
Indianapolis has been too long
the "scab city" Labor all over the
city is watching the Real Silk strike
with an eye to the future.
Anti-union business men know
this and will make financial and
moral contributions TO aid Real Silk
and to discourage futFre strikes. SO

ASKS DENNY AND MARKUN,
CANT YOU TAKE IT?"

By a Times Reader.
Like many hundreds of Indianap-
oils and other Marion county resi-
dents who thinkingly exercise their
franchise each election year, I of
course, read your daily news regard
ing the various candidates and wish
to commend The Times on the
good work it is doing in the cause of
politics.
There is one thing that I can not
understand. How can George Denny
and Louis Markun, the mayoralty
aspirants, conscientiously say any
thing about "bossism," machine
politics" or "hand-picked candi-
dates?" In the past Mr.. Denny and
Mr.. Markun were as large as any
ducks in the puddle.
To hundreds of us who know the
inside of Republican party affairs
or political machine" as George
and Louie call it, their statements
are laughable. Not so many years
ago they too were backed and sup
ported by the very same organization
that they now refer to as "bossism'

as General Hugh S. Johnson MIRA chief, was
pledgng the mills personal investigation and
review Of NRAs action in removing its blue
eagle
There are. of course, strong economic rea-
sons for the action of the Hartman group
Closing down of the mill will mean loss Of
employment for 500, and a tremendous loss
of purchasing power in Hartman upon which
the merchants are dependent for business and
for profits
But does these merchants best interest lie
in defying and oyerthrowing the blue eagleP
Suppose they we're successful in under
mining the whole recovery program.
Would they benefit permanently from
return to the disastrous old low-wage system7
Or will they be better of in nation where
collective bargaining, an assurance OF better
purchasing power among employees, is in use?
Hot-headed defances will do Hartman
little good.
The nation as whole will back NRA with
its purchasing power, enforcing its rulings
against businesses considered unfair.
The best way out is a settlement of the
differences-a settlement which can be reached
IL the merchants and the mill owners WILL
like General Hugh s. Johnson, always be
ready to reopen the matter and calmly seek
proper disposition of the case.
AS matters stand, Hartman has thrown
down the gauntlet to the nation without
realizing how easily the nation can, without
mortal combat "step out of Harriman's
hosiery"

THE BOOTLEGGER'S TARIFF

our tariff is,a great comfort to the boot
~ logger.
When repeal came last December, the legal
liquor industry in this country possessed only
one million gallons of bottled-in-bond whisky
1t was evident then that aged whisky from
foreign countries must be allowed to enter
But in the first four months of repeal only
two and one-half million gallons dribbled over
the tariff wall
The tariff on spirits is IS a gallon on
champagne and sparkling wines, Sc a gallon;
on still wines. SIPS gallon.
These duties never were intended as rev.
enue tariffs or protective tariffs. They were
enacted as prohibitive tariffs.
Across the border in warehouses in Canada
are 25.o0O000 gallons of American-type aged
whisky, most of it distilled from American
warehouses of Europe bulge with other spirits
and wines.
The reciprocal tariff bill now before the
senate offers but slight hope for relief. Under
it the President would be allowed to reduce
the rates by so per cent. Such a reduction
would leave the tariff on whisky at $3.50
gallon. equivalent to an ad valorem of about
500 per cent on the cost of production.
American distilers do not ask for such I'M
reasonable tariff protection. They want
protection from bootleggers.
The only solution now in sight is adoption
by the senate of an amendment reducing
liquor tariffs to the pre-prohibition rates -
$3.50 a gallon spirits, 50 a gallon on cham
payne and As cents gallon on wine. And
then, should the President reduce these rates
by so per cent, American distillers and winners
still would have more than 100 per cent pro-
lection for their products.

BY Mrs. Randi Aamot.
Charles Hall Davis in his letter
to The Times, expresses fear that
the policies Of the present admin
istration will lead either to.Social-
ism, Communism or FasciSm. They
will, but in a somewhat round
about way.
Murder leads to the electric
chair: overeating leads to Stom-
ach trouble and reactionary gov
ernment leads to one of the three
"isms' feared by Mr.. Davis, well
coined by others. Don't worry.
There is nothing radical about the
President and his brain trust.
They only are trying to stop the
self-destruction of the capitalist
system, to my notion a hopeless
task, but to them something
worth trying. Any action aimed
at the restoration of capitalism is
reactionary.
If I we're you, Mr.. Davis, I
would not brag too much about
preservation of human rights and
liberty" under capitalism. Such
talk might produce a bitter smile
on the faces of 100000 unem-
ployed. Where are their human
rights? Where is their liberty?
Just what is "the American
PLAN" Mr.. Davis? DO you mean
that as little government as posi-
BILE is the ideal state of affairs?
If so, you are an anarchist; or
do you identify "the American
plan" with strict democracy. If
so let me, as a Socialist, shake
hands with you. But when you
speak about the aims of the So
cialist party you are somewhat
out of line with the facts.

Capital Capers
by GEORGE ABEL.

DOLITICO-SOCIAL luncheons are becoming a
l. fad in Washington. One discusses national
or international politics the articokes or the
salad and then hurries back to the office It's
less fatiguing than a formal diplomatic dinner
and more informative.
Only one must beware of taboo topics at these
luncheons. 1t wouldn't do to remind the Bolivian
minister that his country is at war Or to speak
about the French debt to Ambassador De La
boulaye Hence certain subjects are always
carefully eschewed
Some luncheons and taboos:
The luncheon given by Mrs. Byrnes, wife of
Senator James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, for
Mrs Daniel G. Roper, wife of the secretary Of
commerce.
Guests included Mrs. Garner, wife of the
secretary; Mrs Cummings wife of the attorney
general.
Taboo topic: Which is the most influential
member of the Roosevelt cabinet.
THE luncheon given by alert, slim-waisted
l. Wladyslaw Sokolowski, charge d'afaires of
Poland, in honor of General Joseph Halter of the
Polish army
Taboo topic: Political changes in Warsaw.
THE luncheon given by Mrs George q. Thorpe
l. at the Chevy Chase Club in honor Of de-
mure Nine. Saito, wife of the japanese anbas-
sador.
Taboo topic: Japans attitude in the Far East
tern situation.
THE luncheon given by Mrs. Eugene Woodson
u in honor of Mrs. Harry PAYER, wife of ex-
Assistant Secretary of State Payer who has just
resigned as special counsel to the RFC.
Taboo topic: Mr.. PAYERS resemblance to a
widely known Dickens character.
THE luncheon given by tactful Argentine
l. Ambassador Felipe Espil in honor of United
States Diplomat Raymond Cox, just appointed
from London to Buenos Aires
Taboo topic: American tariffs.
THE luncheon given in honor Of the minister
l. Of the Irish Free State, Michael MacWhite
by several admirers.
Taboo topic: Whether Sam Houston had
Irish blood in his veins and was the first Gov
ernor of Tennessee.
THE luncheon given by Mrs. Gibson, wife of
l. General William R. Gibson, for Mrs. George
F. Winfield Of New York. One of the guests was

LUDLOW FAVORED FOR
U. S. SENATOR

By A. NJ. Sweeney.
Louis Ludlow is a modest man
of unusual political insight, attribut-
able to his receiving about one-third
of a century's schooling in those two
universities of American states
craft, the United States house and
senate. He spent the equivalent of
fourteen congressional terms at
Washington, as political correspond
ent for several metropolitan dailieS.
There are three such men now in
the senate.
While hearing these debates, he
imbibed political acumen, and later
he analysed and prepared thousands
of columns Of political pabulum, like
a great chef, to be spread before
numberless intelligent and critical
readers of the nation. He thus had
gold political mine in which to
delve for many years.
That is why he is called an ency-
clopedia of political history in Wash
ington; why his maturity put him
upon leading committees upon en-
tering congress; why thousands ov-
erstep party lines to praise his eff
f1ciency; why two years ago he de-
feated Harrison, of kin to two
Presidents, a name used to conjure
with, and that is why his admirers
are urging him to seek the Demo-
cratic nomination for United States
senator.
Mr.. Ludlow is a veritable "mul-
tum in parvo" in politics. Presi-
dent Roosevelt now needs just such
ripened intellects as Mr.. Ludlow's,
for this is a severely sick nation
needing rapid treatment, and nov
ices lack prestige. These facts about
Mr.. Ludlow imply no disparagement
of other aspirants, whose friends
have the same right to speak, and
it is absolutely due voters that each
candidate should show far more
fitness than a mere desire for office.

REAL SILK STRIKE AS
WOMAN SEES 1T.

By Strikers Wife.
There are quite a few persons who
do not or won't understand about
the Real Silk strike, especially R.
S. and E. B. S. If William Smith
wasn't wanted and needed in In
dianapOliS, he wouldn't be here. My
husband has worked for Real Silk
eight years. My brother had to
qiut Real Silk or go to Sunnyside.
Can you blame these men for
fighting for what belongs to them?
1t means between SIG and $40 more
each week. They would use and
appreciate it more than the ones
who really get it.
Will people in indianapolis ever
wake up? We are a good way be-
hind every other state. If it wasn't
for The Times most people would
never know the truth about this
strike. Knitters are human, too.
What would you do in their place?
Would you work for one-third of
wha you know you are worth?

Mr.. DuUis' ISM Fear Discussed

It is not our intention gradual
" to concentrate all power in gov
eminent and then seize the gov
eminent and administer it, not in
the interest of all the people, but
of a class described as the prole-
tariat."
In the first place we want a

Scrapped that. "Gradualism" has
proven to lead to nothing.
We want Socialism 100 per cent,
and we want it mighty quick.
To obtain it, we are not going to
make a political coup" but only
to drop ballots into box, or pull
some levers on a machine. And
believe me, President Roosevelt
does not at all intend to help us
to victory. Capitalists ought to
thank him morning, noon and
night for his heroic efforts to save
their wealth. That it can't be
done is a different story.
Do not fear Socialism, Mr.. Davis,
unless you fear a society without
wars, without injustice and with
out poverty; society in which
every adult will make $1,000 a
year, with two months vacation
and twenty hours of weekly work,
a society which grants absolute
security for all, from the cradle to
the grave.
If you fear such a society, Mr..
Davis, then continue your fight
against Socialism, against decency,
cultural refinement and the funda-
mentals of the Christian religion.
You have your ideals, 1 have
mine, and am proud of them.
