"HOME RULE!"

MAYOR LA GUARDIA of New York picks
NA up his mangled economy measure with
characteristic cheerfulness as "the best that
could be obtained out of a bad legislative
JAM" and prepares to make the most he can
of it when it becomes law.
At the same time he points to other city
bills still pending at Albany, among them
bills the city must have a levy emergency
taxes and to finance carrying charges on it's
municipal subway investment and says:
I discussed all those bills with the DEM
ocratic leaders when I was in Albany, and
found that they are regarded with the
same degree of enthusiasm and public spirit
and interest in the public welfare that was
accorded the economy bill.
This is a bad outlook for a great COM
munity that overthrow Tammany dynasty
and elected Fusion administration to re-
habilitate its finances and improve its gov
eminent.
Despite its successful effort at home must
New York still find step after step of its
progress hampered, if not actually barred, by
the ruthless obstruction of its own Democratic
representatives in the state legislature?
Must its mayor go hat in hand to Al
bany, time after time, to beg New York city
legislators to grant him some small part of
the legislation he needs?
Must he be humbly thankful to get tenth
of what he asks, even though he asks only
what the city, from any but machine poll
tcian's point of view, urgently requires?
There is something wrong in a situation
which permits Tammany though defeated in
Greater New York, to retain its grip on the
city from Albany
The present legislative session is register
ing sharp reminders Of the hollowness of home
rule that is not home rule where many vital
city matters are in the balance.
The power of the legislature may, under
certain circumstances. mitigate the conSe-
quences of miSrule in New York City.
But we are having sorry demonstrations
of how that same power of the legislature
can be used to handicap a good city govern
ment.
Charter revision should go deep into this
problem.

THE NEXT STEP

JACOB GOULD sCHURMAN' former Unit
- ad states minister to China returns from
a trip to the far east with the comment that
the only important friction between Japan
ord America comes from our immigration
policy that excludes the japanese as racial
interiors. We doubt that this is the only
point of friction, but certainly it is major
one.
In Paris speech Mr.. Schurnan urged that
this friction be removed by putting orientals
under a quota.
From the diplomatic viewpoint" he said,
whatever our oriental relations in the future
they will not grow out of our position and
territories there, but out of our trade and
social relations in Eastern Asia"
This is true. Our prospective withdrawal
from the Philippines under the Tydings in
dependence law is conclusive evidence that we
have no territorial imperialistic designs in the
far east. There remain for us the far more
civilizing relationships Of commerce. travel
and general international intercourse. 1t is
trite to say that this relationship must be
founded on good manners and mutual respect.
Our present exclusion policy is neither good
diplomacy nor good manners.
The quota alternative does not mean an
influx of alien cheap labor. 1t means just
the opposite Under quota only 1876 Jap
anese and los Chinese would enter annually,
and none of these would be laborers.
In a survey of the japanese situation in
California recently Professor Edward K.
Strong Jr of Stanford university, found that
"a times the quota allotment of Japanese
have come into continental ports each year
since the 1924 exclusion act was passed. The
average between 1925 and 1892 was 632 a year.
There is no doubt that the troublesome prob
lem of struggled orientalS would tend to solve
itself if the spirit of the gentlemans agree
ment were written into law. Japanese Off
Gals would cooperate. The quota act has
operated satisfactorily in restricting inlmigra-
ton from Europe. 1t can operate the same
way in the Pacific.
In improving our relations with Japan an
intelligent immigration policy is the next
step.

COMMUNISTS OBJECT!

IF you're worried about the so-called Com
l. munistic" policies of the national admin
istration, it might comfort you to read what
the real Communists of the United States have
to say about them.
The eighth national convention of the
Communist party in the United States was
held the other day. And the assembled Reds
devoted a good share of their time to de-
nouncing the new deal and all its works in
no uncertain terms.
Party members were called on to fight
against the rise of Fascism, cas- exemphhed
bv the national recovery administration" and
were warned that the NRA is under the real
control of the big industrialists.
If there are government officials at wash
ington who want to make this Communist
nation the Communists themselves don't seem
to have heard about them yet.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TINES
HOLD THE GAINS

PRACTICALLY all of the NRA codes Of fair
practices forbid the hiring Of children I'M
der IS. The proposed simple fifty -three-word
child labor amendment would permit congress
only to limit" regulate and prohibit the labor
under 49,"
In view Of the fact that industrial self
reform in this case has outstripped legal regu-
lation, it seems incredible that eminent lawyers
find it necessary to defend proposal so logical
and humane as this. Yet reply to legalistic
opponents is necessary. So in a statement
urging ratification by the New York Iegisla-
ture, a lawyers committee, headed by Charles
G. Burlingame, former head of the New York
Bar Association, carefully answers arguments
such as have been raised against almost every
federal reform since the birth of the republic
To the weu-worn states rights argument
the committee replies:
Gust as slavery, although primarily So
cial and economic problem, became national
question requiring national action, so the con-
troll of child labor has become a national ques-
ton. 1t is impractical to have child labor per-
mltted IN some states ana pronlplted IN
others"
The states are realizing this. They see that
the amendment offers them freedom from
disgraceful interstate competition in which the
states hiring childrens cheap labor will win.
So far, twenty states have ratified and next
winter and spring, when forty-four legisla-
lures meet, the required sixteen additional
doubtless will follow.
THE real question is this" says the COM
mittee, Are we willing to give congress the
power to make permanent the child labor
standards now incorporated in the NRA
codes, or do we wish to permit the states to
return to child exploitation and the conse-
ouent lowering of adult wage levels when the
codes expire?"

Figures like that show how alarming the

England's situation parallels our own. In

that some drastic new method of handling

LACKING LEADERS

1T is not a wholesome spectacle That mouse
l. Democratic leaders are making Of them
selves on the tax bill.
They demonstrated a deplorable lack OF
leadership when the house. 3 to l Democratic,
voted to l to override President Roose-
velt's veto of the independent offices appro-
nriations bill. which loaded new burdens on
the federal treasury by increasing veterans
benefits.
They now seem to be mindful that this Is
election year, and reluctant to break the news
to the taxpayers that the bill will have to be
paid. The taxpayers will not be deceived.
The test will come in the vote on the pro-
posed Couzens amendment increasing income
rates 10 per cent.
A better plan for getting more revenue
from income taxes was Senator La Follette's
proposal of a graduated increase, which was
voted down by the senate. Senator Couzens'
horizontal increase is at least an alternative
that will raise some revenue. And more
money. raised by taxation instead of by bor-
rowing. is what the treasury needs to insure
success of the recovery program.
Still more important. in regard both to
revenue and social reform, is Senator La
Follettes higher estate tax schedule, which
the senate is expected to approve.
On this amendment also there should be
a record vote in the house, where it probably
will receive just as enthusiastic support If
there is a roll-cau in both houses it will be
impossible for the conferees Of the two houses
to drop the amendment from the bill. Other
wise it may occur. Stranger things have hap
pened behind the closed doors of a congress
sional conference room.
