utterly impossible for the United States to
stay out Of It,
Looking back at what happened in 1914
and Immediately thereafter. It Is not hard to
understand why people should feel that way.
And yet it IS equally hard to see why the pro-
gram We followed during the last war has to
be duplicated in the next one.
We weren't able to keep out Of the last
wsr-granted. But is there any overwhelm-
ing reason why. prohting by the lessons we
learned then, we can not keep out Of the next
one7
If re hope TO DO so. there are two courses
open 70 US.
The first one IS to follow the lead Of the
internationali5s. work with the League OF
Nations right up TO the hilt, negotiate and
confer with European statesmen whenever
the European pot starts boiling, and take in
every way possible an active. energetic course
to keep war from starting.
Considering what the American electorate
has done TO the League of Nations propo-
nents at various times, it IS hard TO picture
any American government following that
course.
The other possibility is to buttress our iso-
lation in every imaginable way. And the
most important way would seem to be to get
new concept Of neutrality.
We started out to be neutral in the last
war. But what happened2 We loaned money
and sold supplies to all corners; the only per-
sons who could get at us to borrow and buy
we're the allies; as an inevitable result, we
soon became in fact, although not avowedly,
. silent partner in the allied cause. We were
tr banker and their production manager.
once that had happened, it was only
question Of time before We should get into
the war in bloody earnest.
Neutrality of that kind is no neutrality at
all. If we follow the same course in the next
war, we may expect the same result.
But We can devise new kind Of neu-
trality. We can refuse TO sell or to lend to
any warning nations. That would be hard
policy to follow, of course. But it would en-
able us to steer clear of trouble.
We might as well make up our mind to it.
If We prefer isolation to taking a hand in
the internationalists' game, the isolation must
be complete Complete isolation is expensive.
but that may be the price we have to pay for
remaining at peace.

SENATE AND SEA DISASTERS

CENATOR WAGNER'S resolution calling for
- survey of the Moro Castle. Mohawk and
other sea disasters, passed by the Senate, is
vigorous and far-reaching.
The Senate's Committee on Commerce and
its subcommittee on Merchant Marine are au-
thorized not only to collect and coordinate
the reports of the Commerce Department and
United States Attorneys investigations of the
various sea holocausts but by inference to in
veStigate the investigators also.
This last. urged upon Congress by the
Scripps-Howard newspapers in their campaign
10 obtain adoption of a new and humane set
of American sea laws, is of great Importance.
The Wagner resolution inferentially recog-
nized the inadequacy and ineficiency of the
Federal Steamboat Inspection Service by di-
recting an inquiry regarding it. The resolutions
drove straight home to a fundamental cause
of the Moro Castle catastrophe in authoriz-
ing inquiry into the methods and practices N
recruiting crews, including wages and all con-
ditions of employment. 1t also directed inves-
tigation of the ancient law on limited liability
for death and injury and the effect of salvage
and marine insurance laws on safety of vessels
and passengers.
The committees are therefore given power
to rip wide open an ugly situation and create
a new era of safety on American ships at
sea.
Now let the committees subpoena inspectors
who let the Inflated ships sail, members of the
New York Grand Jury reported dissatisfied
with the way their inquiry was conducted,
likewise competent persons who observed the
unsatisfactory inquiries Of the steamboat in
spectors. who were sitting in judgment also on
the work Of their own bureau.

GOVERNMENT TEAMWORK

MUCH of the conflict and suspicion now be-
WI ing engendered between the White House
and Capitol Hill might be prevented by the
pending Harlan bill to permit Cabinet officers
to sit IN Congress. lay their cards on the legis-
lative table and submit to questioning from
Senators and Representatives.
The proposal is not new. Back in 1864
special committee of both Houses recommended
that Cabinet members sit with Congress on
Tuesday and Thursday mornings and engage
IN debates. Similar proposals were made by
committees in 1881 and in 1925.
Nor is 1t novel to other countries. In Eng
land. France. Norway Denmark, the Neither
lands and other parliamentary countries, Of

bodies and answers for its policies.
In the United States the only links be-
tween the executive and Congress are presi-

met members or their assistants before con-
greSSional committees. About the only con-
trols Congress exercises over policy, except the
negative one over finance, are lengthy and
costly congressional Investigations n Presi-
dent Grants eight years Congress conducted
81 such inquiries.
A franker and more efficient relationship is
needed, particularly in these days Of expand
ing executive powers Prof. Harold ]. Laski says
that Cabinet attendance in Congress would
make the debate more responsible, restore the
significance OF opposition and tend TO pre-
vent such costly corruption as was revealed in
the Fall and Daugherty scandals. Elihu Root
has said it would improve the conduct of both
the legislative and executive business of the
government" DR.. Charles A. Beard thinks it
would have wholesome influence on both de-
partments Of government" The proposal is
backed by Chief Justice Hughes, John w. Davis
and others

marre6 by bitter clashes with Congress, urged
that the Cabinet be used as a connecting link
between the executive and legislative branches.

SOIL NEEDS PRESERVATION

ONE Of the most important measures now
~ being pursued by the Federal government
Is the effort TO check soil erosion. The prob
lem Of crosion-which most Of us hardly rec
osnized as a problem at all until recently
vas graphically presented in a recent speech
by H H Bennett. director Of the Interior
DEPARTMENTS soil erosion service.
Most American soil has been TILED only a
short time in comparison with that Of Eu-
rope" he says. Yet in the area east Of the
Appalachians. where there was no erosion
when the white man took the land from the
indian. there are now 100000 gullies so feet
deep and a mile long.
America has wasted its soil resources more
rapidly than any other country in the world"
It is worth remembering that our tremen-
dous agricultural resources have been the
foundation Of our greatness. The task Of pre-
serving them is one Of our most vital re-
sponsi5ilities.

over and over again you see a diff
ferent meaning.
I, for one, could not sit on a jury
and condemn man or woman to
death, without being condemned
also, even though they pleaded
guilty to murder.
Please note what most execu-
TONERS think of capital punishment.
In one case, Robert Elliott, execu-
toner for the state of New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, over
a period of nine years has executed
something like 200 persons. He says
he does not like his job and doesn't
believe in it.
We are quick to condemn our
brother to whom we should teach
right from wrong through love and
kindness, instead of getting him out
of the way by murder.
Capital punishment is mans law
of dealing with murderers, etc.
Think Judgment unto death should
be left in Gods hands.

CRITICISES BIG PAY FOR

BY Mrs. W. C.

By Mrs. W. C.
I agree with M. Everts about the
letters written in the Message Cen
ter by j. L. Watt Sr. and Robert E.

never been on relief or he would
know how far he would get on the
little handout and if he will read

will see that God never intended it
to be so.
Please read the following verses
in the Bible, the twentieth chapter
of Matthew; Luke, chapter ID, verse
25; Proverbs %, chapters is, %

After you read these I think you
will agree with me that God never
intended one class of people to be
robbed to pay a few a large salary.
Just to sit in swivel chair four or
five hours day. And as far as Mr..

EXPRESSES OPPOSITION
TO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
By E. Stone.

BY E. Stone.
In regard to your letter a few
days ago in the Message Center, Mr..
Jackson, I think the most Of us
must agree with Mr.. Woodland.
The Ten Commandments were
given to us as a law to live by and
were also upheld by Christ in his
teachings.
Mr.. Jackson. please read the Ser
mon on the Mount, 5th chapter OF
ST. Matthews, also read the rest OF
Christ's teachings. SO much bet
ter if you have red letter Bible.
When you have finished please note
you have found no instance where
Christ taught capital punishment,
life for life to be administered by
man.
Please read st. Luke. 23-43, and
you will find where Christ did not
as much as condemn a thief to
death who men had condemned.
The Bible was written by man
through divine inspirations and
teachings by Christ, therefore it will
never be mastered by man and
thrown aside as a dead book. 1t is
misleading on first reading be-
cause man grasps it in his own self
ish worldly attitude, but when read

been focused upon these two Amer
lean citizens. There is no doubt a,
certain element follows this con-
troverSy for the entertainment of
hearing two men discuss the merits
or dement's of each others char
acter but the larger percentage of
the people following the controversy
are interested in the principles
which are advocated and defended
by these two men.
Why are you silent on the issue?
If Father Coughlin is wrong in his
theories, will he go unanswered by
newspaper which boasts of its
ability to Give Light?" Thus far,
Gen. Johnson has failed to answer
Father Coughlin in an intelligent
and enlightening manner. If Father
Coughlin is right in the principles
he advocates, why not give him
such credit?
Today, as never before, the people
are following the activities of their
government. The man who has been
unemployed, existing on a virtual
dole; the man who has had his wage
cut to mere subsistence level; and
the small business man with his
back to the wall are not interested
in anything as much as they are in
what is being done by the govern
ment to permanently relieve them.
These men are not interested in
verbal duel between two men over
defamatory remarks about each
others nationality or character.
The Times can render important
service by giving its readers the
facts concerning the policies advo-
Gated by such groups or factions as
Father Coughlin, DR.. Townsend,
Huey Long, the various Bankers
Associations, etc.

READER POKES FUN AT
IRVINGTON G. o. P. CLUB

BY George Gould Hine.
From that quaint little commun-
ity east of Indianapolis called Irv-
ington, with its cellars full of pota-
toes, its barns full of feed and its
houses full of people busy at the
churn, the washtub and the spin
ming wheel, there has just issued a
solemn proclamation which sayeth
in eight-point detail how to run the
nation.
They sayeth, in effect, that if no.
body will spend and everybody will
save, then verify the nations trou-
bleS will vanish. They sayeth this
because they knoweth that if the
wagon breaks down, the village
smithy will fix it for sack of po-
tatoes. and because they knoweth
that if their clothes wear out,
mother will make more out of cloth
she, herself, has made out of wool
fatr or, himself, hath clipped from
she ep he hath grown.
They sayeth this because they
heareth that the strange world out
side of Irvington is in trouble and
they knoweth that evil can only
come because the strange world has
not worked earned, saved and &C
quired as it should, thus deserving
the principles of the fathers.
And when there cometh among
them an office-Seeker to exhort
them, 10 and behold, they do assem-
BILE and resolve and proclaim as
follows:
Give heed, We nation, unto the
people of Irvington: Why have We
not acquired-because We have not
saved: why have We not saved
because We have not earned: Why
have We not earned-because We
have not worked: why have We not
worked-because We have deserted
the principles of the fathers. Re
turn We, therefore, unto these prln-
ciples and We shall have "a social
security system that applies to
everybody"
And so with copies Of this eight
point declaration mailed to all Re-
publican state newspapers-the
quaint little 1rvington Republican
Club returns to its churn, its wash
tub and its spinning wheel-and
further sayeth not.

Hoover message in vain for any definite

ism But 60 has he always been. That didn't
prevent the depression.
Mr. Hoover would have us believe that,

fundamental American principles are in
"dally Jeopardy" He thinks We are the vic

indictment. He proposes that We go back

The assumption is that individualism

II the Republicans were in power today
they would be forced by haEd necessity to

That the maiOTiiies of both Of the old
