NEUTRALITY


Progressive Senator Homer T.
Bone. Democrat of Washington,
plans new campaign to strength
en- the neutrality policy of the
United States.
When the Senate Munitions
Committee worked to devise a
scheme to keep us out of war,
Senator Bone was one Of the most
active members of the group.
His investigation went into min
ute details of the workings of the
arms manufacturers and others
engaged in the production Of i'm
plementS of conflict.
Senator Bone represents an
area which is populated predomi-
nantly by persons Of agricultural
and industrial pursuits.
His record is one Of liberalism
toward those groups and harmo-
nious with their views. It is not
unusual, therefore, that he should
be legislatively opposed to aggres-
sion.
Perhaps, he realizes that under
the present set-up, the arms man
ufacturerS are not overly per
turbed by the present law.
Shortly before the President is
sued his first embargo warning.

tives around the Nations Capital

ment's notice. And the bans will

OLD-AGE PENSIONS
Strange as it may seem. there
are reports that Senator William
E. Borah, Republican of Idaho,
is not overly perturbed by the re-
cent attack of DR.. F.. E. Town
send, CALIFORNIA; leading advocate
of old-age pensions.
In a recent discussion, DR..
Townsend declared that the vet
eran member of the Senate could
not climb on the old-age pension
DaI1Q WdSO1l w 44houAC 4O-NASSSASAA
to the Senate.
Where he obtained the view
that Borah was perturbed over
his reelection to the Senate, was
not made clear by DR.. Townsend,
Certain it is that Senator Borah
was in on the discussions of social
security for aged persons before
DR.. Townsend'S plan, which was
rejected last session, came into
view.
The old-age pension theory is
not a new one. It has been advo'
Gated and discussed for years.
AS one of the far-seeing men OF
the Senate, Borah is reported to
have heard of old-age pensions al
least a few years before Townsend
came out of California.

Party Conventions
By James T. Williams, Jr.

lConvention is quickening the coun'
try over.
Any one of a half dozen large
cities would gladly subscribe lib.
eral amount to pay the usual ex.
penses which the convention city
of either one of the two national
parties is expected to meet. But
the long lead which Cleveland
seems to have over other available
meeting places has little to do
with money and a great deal to do
with the common cause.
The only money matter involved
concerns the distance the dele
gates would have to travel. AS

holders among the delegates to the
Republican national convention,
the party is naturally in favor of
a city in the Middle West instead
of one on the Atlantic or Pacific
coasts. Cleveland is only a night
away from the more populous
States of the East and Middle
West.
But the main reason why so
many members of the Republican
national committee are reported
to be in favor of Cleveland is be.
cause Ohio is a battle-ground State
without a serious contender for
the Republican Presidential nomi.
nation and one of the States where
the Administration has suffered
the heaviest loss in popular favor.
PRECEDENTS
Then, too, Calvin Coolidge was
nominated for the presidency by
the Republicans at their ma.
tional convention which met in
Cleveland in 1924. And in the
ensuing election Mr.. Coolidge was
triumphant by an overwhelming
majority.
Atlantic City and Philadelphia
are expected to be the chief con
tenders for the honor of being
host to the Democratic National
Convention next year, according
to prominent members of Chair,
man Farley's committee.
Either city is easily accessible
to Eastern delegates and the dele
gates from the West and South
would not be in a position to OBJ.
ject to the decision of Mr.. RooSe-
velt who, in political matters, gen
orally follows the advice Of Mr..
Farley.
Unless present indications fail
there will be more Federal office
holders among the delegates to
the 1886 Democratic National
Convention than have ever NOM
mated a candidate for the Presi-
dency since Republican Federal
office-holders renominated Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison at Min
neapolis in June Of 1892 only to

The Tax Report

The Commissioners special committee on taxation sub
mtted preliminary report in which, in effect 1t tells
the District that it can have government IF IT
PAYS FOR IT.
The committee further indicates that to main
tain the present standard of in the National
Capital uOiH money the approaching
years than it is costing nOW
Finally the committee tells the Commissioners that it,
the committee, will not undertake to decide what or
additional taxes to recommend until the Commissioners
hear from the citizens the general policy of future
penditures.
To the extent that the committee urges that the peo
pie who will have to pay be consulted on expenditures
before new taxes are imposed the preliminary report is
welcome
The report however, is disappointing to those who
hoped that the committee would point out way in
which the expenses of the District might be reduced in
order to avoid the threat of increased tax burden
The committee uvhich has made detailed study of
expenditures the last sixteen years (during Which
period the of the local government has just about
double apparently despars Of substantial cut in
costs
It doesn't find much chance of cutting the items for
maintenance and operation and obviously believes that
the capital outlay for permanent improvements will have
to be increased
Within the scope of the instructions creating the
committee has probably done much it could to let
the District citizens have voice in determining the fu
ture tax policy.
It now is up to the Commissioners themselves to make
the recommendation for public participation in policy
making effective.
They can do this in the perfunctory way of holding
hearings at which individuals and groups may state their
views.
OR THEY CAN REQUEST REPRESENTATIVE
AND QUALIFIED CITIZENS TO MAKE A SPECIAL
STUDY OF THE SITUATION WITH A PARTICULAR
VIEW TO CUTTING DOWN THE COST OF OPERA
T1oN OF THE GOVERNMENT IN ORDER TO KEEP
TT WITHIN THE PRESENT REVENUES.
Such a committee might have more luck than the
taxation committee in finding way to reduce the cost
of the local government
Certainly it should be given chance to consider the

OLD FAVORITES
The Three Fishers
Charles Kingsley

Three fishers went sailing away to the West,
Away to the West as the went down;
Each thought the woman who loved him the best,
And the children stood watching them of the town.
For men must work. and women must weep,
And there little to earn, and many to keep
Though the harbor bar be moaning.
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower
And they trimmed the lamps the went down
They looked the squa and they looked at the shower
And the night-rack rolling up ragged and brown
But work, and women must weep,
Though storms be sudden, and waters deep,
And the harbor bar be moaning.
Three corpses lay out the shining sands
In the morning CLEAN the tide went down,
And the women weeping and wringing their hands
For those who will never come home to the town;
For must work, and must weep,
And the sooner it's over, the to sleep;
And good-by to the bar and its moaning

II the Republicans select Cleve-
land for their national convention
city next year and the Democrats
Atlantic City or Philadelphia, cur
rent representations in political
circles will be fulfilled.
Pursuant to long custom, the
Republican National Committee
will meet in the Federal City the
second week in December to fix
the time and place of the next
Republican national convention.
Although the call for the Demo
cratic National Committee meet
ing has not yet been issued, the
expectation is that its members
will assemble in January to desig-
nate the time and select the place
for the denomination of Mr.. Roose-
velt upon a platform in the draft
ing of which he will doubtless
have the major say.
There was an old theory, logi-
cal enough it would appear, that
the party in power should hold
its convention first and the oppo-
Sition party assemble in conven-
ton week or two later. This is
what the Republicans generally
did while they were in power.
When the Democrats entered
power they were unwilling to take
the initiative.
PLATFORM PROMISES
There are several reasons this
year why the Administration pre-
ferS to have the Republicans draft
their platform and nominate their
standard bearer first.
One reason is the embarrass-
ment the Democrats face in the
contrast presented between the
Democratic platform of 1882 and
the record of the Democratic
party in power. Should the Demo.
Gratis meet first they would find
it more difficult to ignore in their
platform the promises they made
to the country in 1882 and have
failed to keep.
BY forcing the Republicans to
meet first the Democrats hope to
be able to adopt a platform that
will be divided between condemna.
! ton of the Republican platform
of 1886 and commentator of the
Administrators record in power.
If the Republicans call their con
vention to meet the middle OF
next June the Democrats expect
to fix the date for their conven
ton a week or two later.
Because the Democratic conven
ton will be little more than q
ratification meeting of all that
the Administration has done and
left undone popular interest at
taching to this gathering is
naturally not as great as that
which the time and place ano

Random Notes

At the annual convention of the st.
Croix Labor Union new policy was
adopted In a we'll prepared document
IS carefully set out the attitude of the
workers towards the Presidents New
Deal and their desires On the question
of wages they are very specific and
name 60cts. as the minimum wage which
they expect TO receive from the Virgin
Islands Company.
In this connection it must be remem-
bered that Governor Pearson always
harped upon the prevailing local wages
as being inadequate. Lieutenept Cover
nor Cramer in several public utterances

fishing a government. operated industrial
unit was to secure the laDorers a living
wage.
With these statements fresh in the
memory of the public it was thought
that with the first chop made into the
Bethlehem bush the rate of pay would
have been the promised living wage.
Whether the industry can stand it at this
time isl not being considered by the
workers, for when they were promised a
real living wage the promises were made
without reservation.
~ While we hope and expect to see an
amicable settlement of the differences be
twee the laborers and the Virgin Is
lands Company. there is bound to be
some struggle. since the workers are urg.
ing the leaders of the Union to secure
for them the increase they believe they
should have. and the Company is ap.
parently not ready to concede labor's de-
mands.
