NEXT WAR DREAD

IF you want to get shuddery new glimpse
l. of what warfare in the future is apt to be
like, you might study specifications Of the
new airpIane which has been undergoing tests
by the British Air Ministry
This plane is almost completely automatic
With no human being aboard, and all controls
operated by a complicated radio device, it can
take of by itself, fly to a height of two miles,
speed along at 1900 miles an hour, perform all
kinds Of twists, turns and dives in the air, and
then make a safe landing.
To date the British authorities have used
it only for flying tests and for target practice.
They admit, however. that it would be simple
matter to turn it into bomber, with radio
controlled apparatus for releasing its deadly
3 cargo-and your imagination can fill in the
.rest Of the picture.
Imagine a feet Of these grim machines fly
ing toward a city-an entirely automatic fleet,
without man aboard, ready to shower bombs
on factories and railroad stations. on homes
ard school houses, imperviouS to any danger
or threat Of Death, riding soullessly through
the sky under the control Of some super-radio
operator safe on the ground miles awayl
It is the kind Of picture that makes cold
shivers race up and down ones back The
sheer nnpersonality of such an attacking feet,
its utter lack OF any human attributes, would
provide war with its ultimate horror.
To be. sure, a vision Of this kind won't be-
come a reality tomorrow. Ingenious as this
automatic plane is it still needs improving; it
can not, for instance. fly more than 10 miles
away from its radio controls at present.
But it is a safe bet that limitation will be
dropped befoEe long. and that these automatic
bombing fleets win be regular equipment for
every air forces before many years have passed.
And yet, in spite Of the grim menace Of this

ERROR IN ART OF CHIvALRY

XETHEN man who is not to the manner
w born tries to initiate the chivalric code
Of the Southern gentleman, he runs the risk
OF making a spectacle of himself-and, also of
getting into serious trouble.
There is, for instance, the case Of the New
Yorker named Samuel Rosenfeld, who got &C.
O tainted with a married woman in Atlanta,
Ga, learned that her husband beat her, and
decided to kill the man. He went to the mans
house and shot the first man he saw-who
TUNED out to be, not the husband, but totally
innocent and unoffending visitor. The man
diec and Rosenfeld now faces trial for MUIR
der.
Rosenfeld remarked that he had nothing
to be ashamed Of since he had followed the
best traditions of Southern chivalry."
The code of the South does defend help
less womanhood, of course. But the chivalric
Southerner usually makes sure that he is aim
ing at the right man before he leans on the
trigger.

THINKS CONSTITUTION is
SOLELY FOR BANKERS
By a Times Reader.

BY Times Reader.
The Constitution of the United
States no doubt is the most flex-
ible piece Of machinery in the gov
eminent works. 1t can be stretched
to cover more special privilege acts
than any other document in exist
ence, while at the same time it can
annul more labor protection laws
than any other known document.
For example, although it clearly
states that Congress alone has the
right to coin and regulate money,
the nine old gentlemen who are
delegated to interpret it have some
how found a way in which our be-
loved bankers can control and coinl
our money. Yet at the same tin1es
they annUl the NRA and Frazier
Lemke acts which we, the working
class, thought would guarantee us
the constitutional right of life by
saving our farms and homes from
confiscation and give us the right to
demand and receive decent work
ing hours and wages, but we were
wrong.
I, for one, am beginning to be-
lieve that our Constitution is really
the Magma Charta for bankers and
monopolsts. OF course, some people
point out that our Constitution is
all right, but that those delegated to
interpret it do not give fair and
true decisions. But then it's silly TO
question the integrity of such lib
eral-minded men as those nine old
radicals relegated from the dear old
G. o. P. to sit as high potentates in
our Supreme Court.

TAKES WAR TO MAKE
US UNITE FOR GOOD

BY ]. K.
While so many are inclined to be-
wall the recent Supreme Court-NRA
decision, it might be in good taste
to pause and contemplate what
might have happened.
Suppose for instance that there
had been no chiseling. Suppose the
Blue Eagle had been given whole
hearted support by one and all in
a spirit of patriotism and the reali-
cation that it was best for the coun-
try as a whole.
Suppose it had been encouraged
consistently by the entire American
press and public and even from the
pulpit,
Yes, of course, it started more or
less in this manner.
The MIRA was just what we made
it. 1t was not destroyed SO much
by the Supreme Court as by chisel-
ers and those who condemned it for
partisan or selfish purposes, or just
pure Indifference. Nor was the Adj
miniStration blameleSs. Had Sec
ton IA been clarified as to it's true
intent and subsequently enforced, if
the codes had been enforced and
Gen. johnson had been able to stand
constructive criticism, the Supreme
Courts decision in the face of a
solid national acclaim of NRA
might have been more favorable.
What a pity that it takes a war to
make us unite for the common
good,

and that of several others, Mr..
Dean was not on the same floor or
part Of the Jail with Giberson and
the others who escaped, and at the
time this happened his name was
not mentioned in any of the papers
or by any one as far as is known
as having in any way participated
in any attempt to escape.
Mr.. Dean has, at all times, main
tanned his absolute innocence of the
charge under which he mas been
held in jail for more than two years,
and six Of the jurors in his trial last
September voted him not guilty,
after trial lasting nearly month
and the jury having been out more
than 30 hours.
In this connection, on Mr.. Deans
behalf, I desire to thank The Times
for its well-founded criticism for
the long delay in the trial of this
case, and I certainly feel that The
Times would not be willing to go
uncorrected in the matter Of the
statement which is obviously preju-
dicial TO Mr.. Dean.

days, and that no new war material will be
bought.
once the armies are demobilized, direct
negotiations between the two nations will be
held at Buenos Aires to settle the territorial
question at issue. If these negotiations fail,
the two nations agree to submit the whole
question to the World Court for final settle
ment.
All Of this seems to be a sane and sensible
way to settle bloody and expensive mess But
there is one point about it that is bound to
strike any student of international affairs with
tragic force.
Since the two nations have finally agreed
to put the whole dispute up to arbitration, fail
ing agreement between thenlselves-wly could
not they have agreed to this three years ago
and saved the lives of 100000 men?
What has the war brought Paraguay and
Bolivia, anyway?
They wind up exactly where they started.
They spend three years in a struggle which, in
proportion to the wealth and population Of the
nations involved, was about as costly as the
World War itself. They kill off the flower of
each others manhood, and saddle themselves
with debts which will not be paid for genera
tions.
And at the end, they agree to do exactly
what they might have done in the first place
settle it peacefully. by negotiation if possible
and by arbitration if negotiation fails
Could there be a more eloquent sermon on
the futility of war?

UNCLE SAM, RAILROADER

ATEITHER surp rising nor radical IS the new
IN demand By the railway labor executives
for immediate govez nment acquisition Of the
railroads.
As these labor lea ders declare, Americas
great transportation system has been shame
fully abused by finallciers. Their reckless
mortgagings are largely responsible for the
railroads failure to modarnize their equipment
and otherwise meet the challenge Of air, water,
bus and pipeline competiAon.
The bulk OF rail mileage Of the world is
publicly owned. our own and Britains private
railroads are exceptions rather than the rule,
and even Uncle sam runs lit lie lines in Alaska
and Panama.
But do We want the railro ads now?
Our public debt now exceeds that Of war

for provisions to ease the hardships Of workers

, If the rail owners continue to resist this
program they may face the alternative Of

not on their own terms.

CLAIMS ATTORNEYS SHOWED
AROUND BY LEGISLATURE

By Harrison White.
For many years, attorneys have
predominated in the Legislature of
Indiana and with their zeal TO
nibble and strike for special inter-
ests" having a hook baited with
silver shekels, have betrayed the
trust of their profession, by legis-
lating and setting up aristocracies
of private interests in our govern
ment to the extent that practically
all the things an attorney usually
does in his profession is taken care
of by bureaus, commissions or
boards, or by laws directing such.
A law, providing that it is unlaw-
full, and attorneys will be put in Jail
if they dare bring an action for
any female, who has been injured
by seduction or false promises; they
have disregarded the Constitution
Of Indiana and by so doing their
profession has become commercial
lied almost to full percentage until
an attorney can not live and be an

Your recent expose of the Grim
inal record of Peter Cancilla,
whether true or partly true, has
probably ruined his professional
career in this city. Knowing that
you wish to be fair and being rea-
sonably certain that Cancilla will
not attempt to justify himself
through your pages, I wonder if I
might have a little of your time
and space.
Possibly Pete Cancilla has not
had the highest type Of law bust
ness. A newspaper man begins
his career as a cub reporter, and
Pete has spent an apprenticeship
in police court. A lawyer can
take only the business that comes
to him and all have bitter Strug-
gle to get started. Since in Indi-
annapolis his one Jam" has been
the type of offense which a college
boy considers a lark. 1t is not to
be condoned, but neither could it
be considered damning.
1 wonder how many of your
readers would say that they felt
you were under any duty to tell
them of this mans offenses, COM
mitted more than 10 years ago.
And most of them, in this complex
civilization, have come reason
ably close to making an affidavit
which was not true right down to
the last cent. You may remember
that the Master suggested, Let

wonder if Cancilla left here-but
I am sure you would not hound
him with your story all the rest of
his life.
1t is interesting to imagine what
might be considered justification
for making a false affidavit. We

would consider a crime. If there
were any justification, wonder
if it would not be under circum-
stances similar to those under
which Pete Cancilla swore falsely
if he did.

filled with the vindiCation OF Ala
bama" Pitts, to whose rescue the
papers of the nation, which means
their readers, went when it ap-
peared that he might not be given
another chance. Will you and
Pete pardon me if 1 wonder if he
has a mother somewhere who
grieved over those convictions Of
his and encouraged him to get
away from his bad companions
and try a new start?
She would have been very proud
cf his reform and the success he
has made in the law business. He
had about graduated from police
court practice, and in 10 years
would have been recognized as an
outstanding, successful member Of
his profession IN spite of a pos
sible lack of education and other
early handicapS. Maybe he has
even been able to send her a few
dollars from time to time in re-
payment of the sacrifices she must
have made to get him out of those
early difficulties-Italian families
are VIGOROUSLY kind and loyal to
each other.
And if there was any other rea-
son than a newspapers duty to

ception of what the public wants
to read, 1 wonder if the man who
was responsible would like to meet
