Number 10 says "the meaning of

FASCIST IDEA OF PEACE

THE mind of devotee of dictatorship must
Il work in an odd way.
Sir Oswald Mosley, the Englishman who ad-
mires Mussolini so passionately that he wants
to set up a black-shirt regime II England
found himself moved the other day to praise
Fascism as a force making for peace. Dis
cussing the recent turmoil in Germany and
Austria, he asserted.
"Fascisn is the only thing which prevented
Europe from being plunged into war like the
one of twenty years ago"
This. to be sure, is one way of looking at IT..
Most of US however, had supposed that it was
lust the other way around-that the danger
of war in the last fortnight has been due
largely to the high-handed and brutal things
which the philosophy of Fascism makes
men do.
1t will take better evidence than anything
the trans Atlantic cables have carried in the
last month to persuade us that Fascism is
potent force for peace.

PEOPLE WON'T WAIT

7 ONG after recovery from the depression
IL has been completed, we probably shall
be arguing earnestly about what caused the
recovery.
Was it due to this that or the other spe-
cifc measure adopted at Washington? Or
did it come of itself in spite of what Wash
mgton did?
This argument has begun already
On one side you have the theory that our
cyclical swing from prosperity to depression
and back again has been increasing steadily
in velocity for half a century, and that this
last time it carried our economy down so far
that our whole social organization would have
collapsed if a remedy had not been applied.
On the other, there is the belief that this
depression differed little from its predeces-
sors. and that recovery would have proceeded
Just as fast-if not. in fact, a little faster-if
Washington had kept its hands of entirely.
This latter viewpoint is expressed ably by
Neil Carothers. director Of the College Of
Business Administration at Lehigh university.
Economists, says Professor Carothers, real
ize that the causes of a depression spring
from our system OF capitalistic production, in
which goods are made far in advance Of the
market by means of borrowed credit and in
vested funds. It seems to be established that
depression comes when this credit-Securities-
investment system of production becomes over
stimulated"
Now this, says Professor Carothers, is
system which inevitably rights itself. 1t never
quite capsizes Economists, he adds know
that the only cure is that one remedy for all
human ills-time."
The chief trouble with this theory seems
to be its belief that human affairs are carried
on in a vacuum.
When an economist talks Of producers, con-
sumers, investors, and so on, he is not speak
ing Of units in an academic chess game; he
is speaking Of human beings who have a naive
way Of getting angry when they lose their
money and their jobs, and who will stand pri-
walton only about so long before they go out
70 burst something.
a depression like the last one might right
itself. If given plenty Of time; but the people
who are living through it are apt to tear the
house down while they are waiting.
Depending on time to effect a cure is ike
depending on time to relieve an attack of
acute appendicitis; it may work-and, on the
other hand. the patient may die
In a highly organized country like ours,
which happens also to be a democracy, it is
impossible TO let nature take its course in an
fabric is too great.

constitutional rights of free speech
and were pounced upon by Chief
Morrissey'S police.
Then the fireworks began. An
officer waddled to the platform yell
ing, That's enuf outa you; you
can't talk about the police like that
come offa there; you're under ar
rest"
The crowd became incensed. 1t
was only the calmness of the young
communist that prevented violence.
I was dumbfounded. Certainly,
thought, the men would be released
Immediately. My aroused interest
took me down to the police station
later. The speakers were slated for
vagrancy under $1,000 bond each.
Later I learned the bond was re-
duced to $1,000 and given. I was
present when the men we're released.
One of the men claimed he had
been beaten while in the Bertillon
room. There was blood on his
shirt and trousers; he limped, was
ashen and had to be supported.
OF more unprovoked, ruthless
curtailment of the right of free
speech I never have heard An
aroused public opinion must stamp
out this police terror, or our Con-
stitution is in real danger Of be-
ing overthrown-not by Reds and
Communists. but by the police force

1t is just as reasonable for high
schools to charge fees and tuition.
Purdue was established in 1870
as an agricultural college. But like
other octopi, she is ambitious to
spread out; teach everything under
the sun, from setting a hen to build
ing boiler.
The taxpayers are bled illegally to
keep up these Wasteful institutions
1t is not the duty Of government
to educate lawyers, doctors, dentists,
nurses, plumbers and scientists.
It's duty ends when all the chill
dren of the state have a good COM
mon school education Why all
these expensive state schools when
there are enough nonstate schools
to do all the higher special training
without costing the taxpayers a dol
lar?
1t is about like a city or township
building a high school when some
philanthropist already had erected
the building and supplied the teach
ers
Again, why should the national
government, through the federal
emergency relief administration,
provide money to help students at
Purdue and L u and not those in
nonstate colleges? Spells and graft
control our educational system as
well as other units Of government.

MILITARY CENSORSHIP

TT is a strange new policy which that ma
L tional guard officer has tried to promulgate
in regard to freedom of the press in Mime
apolis.
After the national guard had been called
out by Governor Floyd B. Olson to preserve
the peace during paralyzing strike, the adju-
tant-g general of the guard undertook to tell the
citys editors how they should behave while
under martial law Among his instructions
was the amazing order that to print anything
"defaming the state of Minnesota or any mem
Der of the Minnesota national guard in the
field" would be construed as a violation of his
order, subjecting the offender to punishment.
1t is hard to imagine a clearer perversion
of the constitutional guaranty of a free press.
It is bad enough to have military censorship
restricting press freedom in time of actual
war; but to have Undated militiaman I'M
dertake to strait jacket the press when moth
ing more than a strike is going on is intoler-
ably insolent and unwarranted.

STATE CONSTITUTION
DECLARED VIOLATED
By Will H. Craig.

BY VIII h. Cralg.
We hear a lot about the "denting"
Of the Constitution by the New
Deal administration, and while I do
not approve of much of the New
Deal, yet those who live in glass
houses should not throw stones.
Since 1863 the legislature Of In
diana has been violating the state
Constitution by appropriating state
money for the higher state schools.
The Constitution of 1916 did provide
for a state university at Bloom
ington, and county academies, but
the Constitution Of 1851. on a reso-
luton offered by Thomas A. Hend-
ricks and adopted unanimously,
abolished the university and the
county academies and the Constitu-
ton provides for a uniform system
of common schools, wherein tuition
shall be for and equally open to
all"
If 7. U. was authorized by the
Constitution. why did it wait seven
teen years before asking aid? In
1868 it was given $4,000 a year, and
was sponsored by the state board of
education. a grandchild of the Con-
stitution. What right has the legis-
lature or state board of education
to violate the Constitution and i'm
pose on the taxpayers?
And if the state schools are legal
how can they charge tuition and
fees contrary to the Constitution?

THE sEAMEN's NEW DEAL

IN unusual election is being held on the
L n Pacific coast.
Government representatives are conducting
a secret poll among thousands Of licensed and
unlicensed seafaring men in preparation for
arbitrating their strike demands. For cen
turtles the men who manned the merchant
ships we're forced to air their grievances singly,
If at all. and often the answer was blow of
the hrst-or Delaying pin.
Now they are being permitted to select
their representatives, either unions or indi-
viduals. TO sit at a table with the ship-owners
Spokesman before government umpire. Thus,
the seaman is getting a taste Of economic
democracy.
Just settlement Of the longshoremen's and
seaman's strike demands only can come
through some such adjustment as the Presi-
dents mediators are trying to evolve. Perma-
nent settlement Of these and other grievances
should be provided for in a code of statutory
mechanism for adjustment, such as the rail-
roads and other industries have set up.
At the last session Of congress the senate
unanimously passed a resolution. introduced
by Senator Hiram Johnson Of California, call
ing upon the administration to take steps
toward creating a national maritime board.
With such board it is unlikely that the Pa
cifc coast would have suffered this long and
costly strike. Both England and Japan have
had such boards for years.
In America the double labor standard for
land and sea has persisted too long.

THE PRISON REPORT

THE report Of Wayne Coy. the Governors
secretary. on conditions at Michigan City
prison is all right as far as It goes. The only
trouble With It is that It fails to 20 far enough.
His remark that the administration Of the
institution might be more effective" is a mas
terpiece Of understatement Beyond doubt his
recommendation that a cherry tree in front Of
the east wall should be removed is sound.
But in view Of the record Of escapes at the
prison during the last year Mr.. Coys report
is strongly reminiscent Of the famous occasion
when the mountain labored nightly and
brought forth a mouse.
We doubt that the public Will be satisfied,
in view OF the latest walk-away Of five prison.
ers, with the discharge Of a few understrap-
pers from the prison service. That would be
too much like painting a cancer with iodine
and pretending it was cured. What is needed
at Michigan City is a major operation.
Mr.. Coy's report dwells at some length on
structural changes necessary at the prison.
The taxpayers must make up their minds to
spend some money in this direction.
But they should not be asked to do so until
they have every assurance that the adminis-
tLdt4DA OF lllE llleL4LuLlO0 Is SOuuQ.
A whisky still was found operating in one
Of the dormitory elevator shafts. It IS diff
hcult for the public to understand how such a
thing could have occurred without gross neg
ligence or downright corruption. Structural
faults we're not responsible for that
After all. the officials of the prison may
have had some hard luck in dealing with the
inmates, but hard luck does not deprive man
Of some sense Of smell. And any bootlegger
can vouch for the fact that a still has an
extremely strong and characteristic odor.
President Roosevelt has set a splendid ex-
ample TO other public servants by frankly ad-
hitting his mistakes. He realizes that at
tempts to gloss over errors simply magnify
their importance in the public mind.
Prison administration has been one of the
mistakes of Governor McNutt's administra-
ton. The thing to do is to admit 1t and APP
ply strong remedies.
Indiana's penal problem is a nettle which
the Governor must grasp firmly. If he toys
with It he is going to get badly stung.

HE WANTS TO KNOW
MORE ABOUT DILLNGER

BY c. W.
I have the idea that the Dillinger
series which is being printed in The
Times is a bit short Of the pre-run
advertising which it was given.
Most of us will admit that Dill
linger is dead. Most Of US will ad-
nit that he was a master mind" as
far as crime went and most of US
will admit that he went the way of
all flesh.
But, before you finish that series,
let's have some Of the real inside"
on how the federal men caught up
with him. We've read all about
Matt Leach's ability, now let's hear
about the men who really finished
the job.

DESCRIBES POLICE ACTION
AT PARK MEETING
Bv a Bystander.

BY a Bystander.
was attracted Wednesday night
by small crowd that was gathering
near the pavilion in Military park.
I learned that it was a public meet
ing against war and Fascism called
under the auspices of the Commu-
mist party. The crowd was small
about $50 persons-men and wom-
en-, Negroes and whites, and nearly
all in working clothes.
Little interest for me here, l
thought, and was about to go on
when an officer approached the first
speaker on the platform and asked
for a permit.
A young chap, self-evidently an
American, replied to the officer to
the effect that the Communist party
was not an Illegal organization, that
its members had the right to free
speech and assembly, that never be-
fore had a permit been necessary,
and that as American citizens they
were going to exercise their rights.
The officer left and the meeting
proceeded. The first speaker was
Negro. He spoke for about fifteen
minutes. He had been in the war
So had I. He was thoroughly dis
illusioned and called upon his audi
ence to fight against the next war
which he said was impending.
The next speaker was the same
young man who had replied to the
officer. He said he represented the
Young Communist League, an or
ganization of young people who were
unalterably opposed to war. The
young, he said, were most easily
duped by war propaganda, by uni
forms, and martial music
A young Negro with an excellent
command Of English took the plat
form. He represented the Inter
national Labor Defense he said. an
organization composed of members
of all races and nationalities.
This organization. he said, would
take up the legal fight in behalf of
eight arrested indianapolis workers
who merely had made use Of their
