LINCOLN CRITICIZED THE
SUPREME COURT, HE SAYS
BY a Reader

BY Reader
1t is amusing to note how freely
the Republican press shows how
Democrats like Al Smith, John W.
Davis, John j. Raskob and the like
have deserted President Roosevelt,
and even Democrats point out how
he has ignored political custom in
making his appointments. The old
wheel horses like to point out that
in selecting the members OF his
cabinet he ignores his geogra ply,
giving no consideration to the po-
litical effect
1t is true, Mr.. Roosevelt is not
of the old school. He cast conven-
ton aside. In other words, he is
President and of new type. The
type which the people like, as they
have grown tired of the same old
game and can see no good in it. If
Mr.. Roosevelt had pleased the poll
ticians by following the old rule
he would have been just another
President. This fact rankles the
politician but not the people who
do the voting and it seems strange
that the politicians should be so
blind as not to see that the more
ttey broadcast these facts the
stronger he becomes. Thanks to
the Republicans and disgruntled
Democrats for their constant efforts
to show up the true Roosevelt.
AS one writer said, take a Re-
publican down in the basement and
pin him down he will admit that
the Republicans haven't China
mans chance of defeating Mr..
Roosevelt for either nomination or
reelection in 1886. With no leader
ship it is small wonder that this
is a fact. Take for instance, The
Grass Rooters gathered in the town
of Lincoln, they permitted no pic
lures save those of Lincoln, and in
the name of Lincoln they conse-
Grated the Republican party to de-
tending the Supreme Court against
criticism and the Constitution
against change. It's 5cream. Read
your history, and you'll ind that
Lincoln spent large part Of his
time denouncing Supreme Court de-
cisions, and actually set the Con-

ETHIOPIA is UNITED
AGAINST ITALY'S INVASION

BY A. ]. King
According to history, the Ethio-
plans are peaceful and very old
Christian nation; a nation that does
not NEEDLE with the sovereignty of
other nations, or seek to grab their
territory; it is not of the viking
type of peoples.
italy, too, is a professed Christian
nation and joins in the lusty cry of
Peace! World Peace!" Why then
may we not look for an example to
be set by her in her method of COM
posing a little border dispute be-
tween two Christian nations? 1t
appears that this nation of modern
enlightened Christian civilization
seeks as Ahab of old to take pos
session of 'Naboth's Garden"
Let no one deceive himself by &C
cepting the propaganda that Italy,
moved by high humanitarian or
Christian impulses. consented to the
admission of Abyssinia to the
League of Nations after pledging to
abolish slavery.
If this were true, what right had
Italy to dictate to a sovereign gov
eminent as to how it's internal af-
fairs should be conducted? The
mere statement means meddIing.
There has been no perfect or truly
just government either in southern,
central or northern Europe during
modern times, if I read history cor
rectly. We are pointed out the
Italian Eritrea as a part where we
find the blessings of western civ
ilization." The Malta at New Or
leans, would you say? Even re-
Gently in this country we have heard
of rowing bandltry. Would that the
Duce while clearing up banditry
might see how badly the United
States is in need of his aid.
Come now, let us consider or
enumerate what appears to be plain

both to possess and to govern. Sec
ond, Italy desires to avenge Adowa
and thereby purge herself of the
stigma of white beaten by black.
Third, she covets the mineral
wealth and the territory of Abys-
sinia. Fourth, she aims to wreck a
government, the very existence of
which MuSsolini is believed to abhor.
A general impression is gathered
from the pen Of one Mr.. Hubbard,
who has spent several months in
AbySsinia. and at the capital, Adds
Ababa. The word servant" and
slave" is the same in Ethiopia, &C
cording to his report. Quote: There
are at least three different classes;

the princes and the tribal rulers. In
Africa, if one is not able to have
guards. his protection is to become

kidnapping is practiced to some
extent, which shows that even the
Ethiopians are taking on Western
ideas. If the Duce will be a little
patient a sufficient group of ideas
and of Western Christian civilization
may be presented to place the Eth
opians high up in modern develop
ment. 1t is striking to note how the
Duce is quoted in words condemning
the Ethiopians, while volume of
478 pages extoling the Nordic races
of Northern Europe to the exclusion
of all Italy, is at my right, a maya

ceiyed last week, is to my left, aud

stitution aside when he wrote his
Emancipation Proclamation. Why,
in his very first inaugural, which
none of the Grass Rooters seem to
have read, he said: If the policy
of government upon vital questions
affecting the whole people is to be
irrevocably fixed by decisions Of the
S"Dreme Court . the people will
cease to be their own rulers, having
to that extent practically resigned
their government to that eminent
tribunal"
Can you imagine any leadership
in building such an issue around
Abraham Lincoln? Why, all Mr..
Roosevelt has to do is quote Lincoln
an it will not be at all surprising
if the Republicans should succeed
in organizing anything like an OPP
position to Mr.. Roosevelt they will
fr-ntically endeavor to blot out the
Supreme Court and Constitution as
an issue while the Democrats will
keep them to the front and quote
Lincoln.

see you had a letter in the pa
per the other night in which some
ambitious fellow is thinking up
lot of new ideas on how to reg
ulate traffic. I marvel at that man
because he apparently is young
enough not to let the heat bother
him.
If he keeps thinking up weird
numbers like those he outlined in
his letter, then it won't be neces-
sary for the heat to bother him
because he'll be too far gone by
that time.

see by the paper that the police
traffic department has sent 81
notices to property owners to cut
the weeds on vacant lots. Well,
that will help some, but there
must be nearer $40 than 81 cases
in this city where weed-cutting
will make traffic safer.
There are sufficient reasons for
traffic hazards without adding
weeds to the bargain. Approaching
a weed-covered intersection, the
poor motorist doesn't have an
even chance.

seems to be interested in aiding
many projects of civic nature,

The Book World

A PLEA to all Jews to help solve the prob
n lem which threatens civilization is con-
tanned in the scholarly study Of Judaism by the
famed Dr. Mordecai M. Kaplan in his Judaism
as a Civilization" Macmillan; So.
DR.. Kap,an, for years professor of HomIetics
at the Jewish Theological Seminary, is regarded
by many influential rabbis and civic leaders as
being the greatest of American Jews. In his
volume he points toward reconstruction of
American Jewish life, basing it primarily on
economic justice.
The author sees judaism not as race or
religious creed but as civilization and he urges
American Jewry to return to this IDEAL actually
to build a civilization within civilization.
And to meet the objections of Jewish Amer
leans that such a civilization might weaken
their Americanism, DR.. Kaplan resourcefully
points out that Christianity, and especially
Catholicism, are actually civilizations in them
selves ard yet 10 Christian nor Catholic con-
siders his religious civilization to be in confi&
with his nationalism or local patriotism.
The depression writes DR.. Kaplan has struck
no people quite so hard as the Jews. The de-
preston he lays to the Sins of avarice, explota
ton and cruelty If the teachings of the Bible
are put into daily life, writes the author, the
problem before civilization is solved.
Economic justice is the theme throughout
the book of this great JeWish-Amerlcan. 1t is
valuable contribution to American Jewish
literature and deserves reading by every one
deeply interested in religious affairs

johnson and Roosevelt rushed things through.
The Recovery Act was administered for recovery,
not for industrial planning
This is part of the poSt-mortem conclusions
about NRA in industrial Planning Under
Codes" (Harpers) by George B. Galloway, NRA
Official and a group of other NRA executives.
The book is better than the recent Brook
ngs Institution presentation, and less bulky. Mr..
Galloway has written four Introductory chapters
on the concept of planning in industry and what
happened under the antitrust and Trade Com
mission acts This is followed by IS chapters,
one each on Is ma jor coded industries, reviewing
the experience under codes. The legal basis of
planning and what happened to small business
are treated briefly
The last chapter, by DR.. Lewis Lorwin of the
International Labor office Can X-Brookings man,
by the way), contains cogent suggestions as to
why NRA did all it could for recovery under the
circumstances, and what it could do if recog-
nized as the National Reconstruction Admin
issration"
OF course, nothing much can be done about
these suggestions SO long as the government and
business continue to accept the Supreme Courts
Schechter decision as the coup de grace of gov
eminent action to bring order into the economic
system.
Mr.. Lorwin finds that NRAs ailments we're
haste in code making, bargaining group pres
sure which caused lack of uniformity, fights be-
tween big and little and North and South,
failure to make progress toward rational col
lective bargaining system, inefectiveness and
lack of consumer representation to protect the
public, completely of the business structure,
restrictive concept of balancing supply and de-
mand, code authority domination by business
men with an eye on immediate profits, and lack
of planning ideas in MIRA itself
His program, aimed to eliminate sweat shop
competition in wage cutting, and promote better
ethical standards and reasonable prices, in
cludes:
l. Public utility industries which could we'll
include coal and lumber should be treated as
such, outside of NRA, and entirely local indus
tries should be left to local agencies. 2. There
should be small number of codes, more nearly
uniform. 3. Impartial commissions of public
representatives and experts should be set up to
establish wage and hour Standards subject to
NRA approval. 4. Collective bargaining should
be handled substantially as the Wagner Act has
directed since this book went to press. s. Trade
practice provisions should be simplifed.
g. Price fixing provisions should be eliminated.
T. Code authorities should be more representa-
tive. 8. A national industrial council should be
organized composed of representatives of code
authorities, consumers, labor and Government,
to meet twice annually to survey NRA and
recommend policies to Congress and to the
President
