MR.. BURGESS is SATISFIED

When asked if the United Drys disappoint-
ed at Hon. Clyde Hoeys failure at the time of mis-
gubernatora announcement to re-state his love for
the burlington Act, chief of staff Gale K Burgess
is reported to have replied that the United Drys
had nothing to say" peaking for himself per-
sonaly, however, he lowed as how he was for Clyde
Hoey.
This Is pretty fair indication that Burgess
knows to his own satisfaction how Mr.. Hoey stands
on state prohibition. 1t is not meant to imply nee
essary that Mr. Hoey has told this private citizen
what he has withheld from the rest of us, for as
matter of fact he can be put down by his record as
an ardent, active, leading, speech-makng dry. Only
Judge Webb among Those Who Amount To Some
thing approaches him in zeal for the cause.
The sole interest we have in Mr.. Hoey's views
on liquor has been due to the slight possibility that
in common with many others, he might have lost
some of his admiration for prohibition. But since
Mr.. Burgess is for him. that possibility is out The
only remaining doubt is how much Mr.. Hoey will
soft pedal his prohibition refrain in order not to
antagonize the wets.-Charlotte News

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
IVA UNDER FIRE

Not without running gauntlet of criticism will
the Tennessee Valley Authority obtain the amend
ments to ifs charter which have passed the Senate
and arc now under committee scrutiny in the House
of Representatives This criticism is bound to be
sanitary in its ultimate effects even though 1t IS
plainly not disinterested and does not always re-
feet great credit upon the critics.
Manv points are involved. Possibly the leadlh%
one is the question between IVA officials and j. H.
McCarl comptroller general, whether this govern
mental agency is obliged under the law, as are
Others to let all contracts to the lowest bidder or
whether it may consider quality and responsibility
along with price.
Congress should, as Mr. McCarl urges, make
clear its intention as to what extent competitive
bidding is to be enforced in the management OF
the IVA 1t is natural that Dr. Arthur E. Morgan,
IVA chairman should prefer the Judgment of MS
engineers to that of the auditors, yet it unfortun
atelv is true that in governmentally managed buS-
ness affairs any allowance of personal latitude IS
liable to serious abuse hence the necessity Tor OIL

Advocates of public ownership may thus get taste
of something like the regulation so generally I'M
posed upon privately-owned utilities Every effort
should be made to have the yardstick include SO
far as possible the same costs on the public own
ership side as on that of private operation. THIS
apuhes for example, to the depreciation reserves
which are questioned in the digest thus far made
public of the comptroller generals audit.
That digest of charges however, is far from be-
ing statement by the comptroller general. TesH-
mony showed that although it appeared IN form
implying it came from his office, it was furnished
by disgruntled engineer to coal-mne-oWnns
Kentucky congressman and mutigraphed at the eX-
pense of the Alabama Power company.
Mr. McCarl has said the audit is only IN pre-
liminary form with many questions raised that may
subsequently, be cleared up. 1t will be interesting
TO see the ultimate report and it will be as much
in the interest of IVA sponsors as in that of the
taxpayers to see that the report is used to hold this
enterprise to the strict line of sound financial prac

We should not ignore our mis-

We should not dwell on them

1t is a place in the future that
we are working here to fill. 1t IS

TURKEY RECALLS WARS TRAGIC
BLUNDERS - '....
(Bv BRUCE CATION

The ghosts of several thousand soldiers
should be interested-if they are IN posI-
ton to know about such things-in the
news that Turkey is going to take leaf
from Hitler'S book and fortify the Dardar-
elles straits whether the former allies like
it or not.
That, at any rate, is the latest news to
Jar European diplomacy. 1t has drawn de-
mails but even the denials admit that a
network of roads has been constructed
which would enable Turkey to line the
straits with motorized artillery companies
on few hours notice.
And all this ought to be of interest 70
the ghosts for it calls back to mind one of
the most tragic and bloody chapters in all
the tragic and bloody story of the Worli
Wharf.-The effort by France and England to
force their way through the Dardanelles in
1915.
In no other episode of the war did the
terrible price that can be exacted for the
failure of few individual commanders
stand out in such clear relief
To begin, some British naval authority
tipped off the Turks to the impending at
tack by ordering premature lombard
ment of the shore defenseS, which gave the
Turks just enough warning to get ready
for the real attack.
Then a combined British and French
fleet tried to force its way through. 1t got
about half way and then withdrew after
mines sank several battleships. After the
war it was learned that those were the
Turks last mines, that ammunition for their
batteries were exhausted, and that they
were resigned, on the day the fleet with
drew, to complete defeat.
Next came the landing of troops. A long
and costly trench warfare deadlock en-
sued In an effort to end it, British divi-
sion was landed at Suvla Bay, half way up
the slim Dardanelles peninsula.
For "a hours this division remained
there, practically unopposed. 1t could have
crossed the peninsula and won complete
victory; but its commander delayed attack
ing for "a hours, giving the Turks Just time
enough to bring up men and guns and
eheckmate the thrust.
On such slender chances did the Darda-
nelles campaign turn. World history would
besvastly different if it had succeeded. Tur-
key would have been knocked out of the
war, allied supplies would have reached
Russia in ample volume, the Russian revo,
luton could have been averted, the wal
would have ended before America was
drawn in-and, all in all, the record of the
last 20 years would make altogether diff
ferent reading.
All this, somehow, is brought to mind b,
this current news about new fertilization;

thousands of Australians, Englishmen. ant

Employment Goal Far Short
of Realization, President
Calls In Army Corps.
BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

With the Works Progress Admins
tration getting deeper into the hole as
the November / deadline for employ
ing 3,l50,O00 jobless persons ap-
proaches, President Roosevelt has
ordered the resources of the Corps
of Army Engineers placed at the dis
posal of Harry L. Hopkins to facilitate
the tagging program.
This became known today when 1t
was learned that Maj. Gen. Edgar
Markham, chief of Army Engineers,
has been designated as engineering
consultant to the w. P. A.
The Presidents order, which has
not yet been announced by Hopkins
Office, repeats the history of the old
c. w. A. program. when it was neces-
sary to call in the Army engineers to
pull Hopkins out of a tight hole.
State Heads Get Order.
The full purport of the order was
revealed in instructions issued by Hop
kins to bewildered State administra-
tors, many of whom have repeatedly
called fer aid in Strengthening out
confusing engineering projects under
their jurisdiction.
Hopkins Office last week announced
that Lieut.. Col. F. c. Harrington Of
the Army had been appointed chief
engineer of the section. This was sup
posed to have been merely a routine
appointment. 1t was denied by w.
P. A. officials that any other Army
engineers would be called in.
Hopkins order to State adminiStra-
tors announces that II consulting field
engineers have been appointed to take
charge of problems in the various
States.
When the works progress admins
traitor revealed the difficulties con-
fronting his program to the President,
with whom he is travelling, Mr.. RooSe-
velt Immediately directed the full
resources of the Army Engineers to
be made available for whatever
services might be required.
To Visit Areas Soon.
The consulting Field Engineers,
Hopkins advised administrators, will
shortly visit the areas to which they
are assigned. State administrators
were directed to afford them every
facility for securing full information
concerning the works program in each
State with particular regard for those
obstacles or difficulties which are

program does not contemplate high
cost engineering projects, each State

BRITISH SEEK'U. s.
HELP AT GENEVA
Hopeful This Country Will
Not Oppose Actions
by League.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

simultaneously with action at
Geneva, the British government is
endeavoring to obtain from the United
States a promise that this country will
adjust its policies so as not to run
counter to anything that may be de-
cided this week at the League of Ma
tions.
While the British statesmen realize
there can be no official connection
between the actions of the League and
those of the United States Govern
ment, they hope that the policy
adopted during the Manchurian crisis
in 1881 will be repeated. At that time
the American Government worked
independently but in sympathy and
parallel" with the League and an
American observer was appointed to
follow the debates of that body. Prem
tiSS Gilbert, the American consul
general at Geneva, actually partici-
pated at some of the debates of the
League and Ambassador Charles
Dawes represented the United States
at the League Council meeting in
Paris.
Proclamations Far Reaching.
The proclamations President Roose-
velt issued last Saturday and Sunday
placing the United States in strict
neutrality in the present Italo-Ethi-
opian conflict are so far reaching the
British government is encouraged to
think this Government might con-
celvably go a step further as soon as
the League decides on what sanctions
1t will take against the aggressor.
The statements of President Roose-
velt and Secretary Hull that America
Is keenly interested in a good neighbor
policy and in the respect of the ex-
listing international treaties, agree
ments and pacts have produced deep
in London and have led the
British statesmen to believe that this
