GOOD OLD UNCLE SAM

DURING the last two or three years, there
- has been an active and vocal party in
Puerto Rico calling for independence. Re-
Gently, United States Senators Willard E. Tyd-
ings and William H. King offered to help the
Puerto Ricans attain this goal if they desired
it: and since then, for some reason, the indie
pendence clamor has died down remarkably
It develops. for one thing, that the United
States government is going to spend in the
neighborhood of s1O0OOOOOO on Puerto Rico's
economic rehabilitation, and the Liberal party
which has been voicing the cry for indie
pendence-wiu control the allotment of jobs.
And Liberal party leaders have shown no dis
position to take advantage of the Senator'S
offer
The whole incident is a rather instructive
little sidelight on our relations with our
islands. The cry for freedom, independence,
and so on is probably an excellent vote getter;
but there are certain definite, concrete ad-
vantages to membership in the American ma
ton. and when it comes to a showdown the
islanders seem loath to give them up.

PHSUDSKI AND PEACE

ATOW that Pilsudsh is dead, Poland more
~ than ever viii be the key to European
peace or war. Much is made Of the fact that
he was a dictator. He was that all right
probably the most absolute dictator in Europe
freer from popular influence than a Hitler or
Nfussolini. But the character Of his rule at
home was less significant to the world than his
foreign policy.
Until Yesterday diplomats and dictators OF
Europe in their balance-of-power maneuvers
had to deal with this willy old general. He and
he alone could deliver Poland-not that he ever
STAYED put for long. But at least he was Poland.
Now that he is gone. Poland like most other
countries Will be represented in the interna-
tional chess game by first one faction and then
another. And those factions may shift even
faster than the feet-footed Pilsudski.
From the beginning Pilsudski played the
European powers against each other. Before
the World War he led guerilla independence
bands against Czarist Russia. When the war
started he co-operated with Austria and Ger
many. but refused to submit to their control
Finally the kaiser imprisoned him as the car
had done After the armistice he built the new
Poland as a military satellite Of France, which
dominated Europe.
But during the last year. with the re-emer-
Cence Of Germany as a power, he has played
with Hitler. After the recent French-Russian
entente he was even cooler toward France.
While he was on his death bed special pre-
cautions were taken to prevent demonstra-
tions in Warsaw in connection with the visit
Of French Foreign Minister Laval on the way
TO Moscow.
NOW the Importance Of Poland to European
peace is greater than ever. If the new rulers
Of Poland fall into the alliance trap Hitler has
so cleverly set for them. the chances Of Ger
many starting a war within year or So
probably against Russia-are very great. Such
a war Of course could not be isolated. It would
certainly engulf most Of Europe, and probably
also the Far East where Japan is said to be
friendly to Germany as an enemy Of Russia.
Latest reports indicate that the death Of
Plsudski IS more likely 10 swing Poland back
toward her original French alliance. II that
occurs. the steel enlightenment Of Nazi Germany
viii be so strong that Hitler Will have not
single ally. That would stop him-for awhile.
But even such peace. based on allied military
might and continued subjugaton Of Germany,
could hardly be a permanent one.
L IS 10 be hoped that Pilsudsks successors
viii cooperate With far-sighted statesmen in
recasting the Versailles and other unjust
treaties as the only safe method Of preserving
peace.

Data GiUen on OId-Age Pension Costs

compares with a cost of S4154 40 a
year for each poorhouse inmate.
The poorhouse cost is from fig
ures obtained in survey by the
United States Department Of La
Dor.
Another report of the same de-
partment refutes an oft-repeated
complaint of reactionary elements
that there will be a steady in
crease in pension amounts. The
report states:
1T is evident that in most
states the average monthly allow
ance has not tended to increase
from year to year or to approach
the maximum payable under the
law"
The most convincing proof that
old-age pensions are here to stay
is provided by 1885 legislative en-
actments in five states-Maine,
Montana, washington, Oregon
and Colorado, which strengthened
their pension systems. Montana,
which had a county option law,
mas changed to a mandatory sys-
TEN.
Arkansas adopted a pension law
which takes it out Of the back
ward South" class so far as social
legislation is concerned and makes
Indiana's pension statute appear

sion of SIS a month to persons 10
or older, while Arkansas pays a
maximum of $50 a month to those
IS or older.

BACKGROUND FOR BONUS

TT is pretty obvious by this time we are going
to get some kind Of bonus legislation from
Congress- and while there are abundant argu-
ments against such a step, it is worth our while
to remember that the disclosures Of the Sen
ate Munitions Committee constitute a back
ground against which most Of these arguments
look slightly weak.
For this background is simply one long
spectacle Of swollen profits reaped by war
time industrialists 1t includes glimpses Of steel
makers who held out for more money at a time
when they were already making profits Of 200
and 800 per cent; of metal producers who viz
tually went on strike, in time Of national emer-
gency, for excessive profits: of whole indus
tries defying the government to lower prices;
of spectators making untold millions out Of
dire human necessities
Keeping that background in mind it is
somehow very hard to grow indignant over the
proposal TO slice a little cake for the lads who
actually put on the uniforms.

SPENDING OTHERS MONEY

THERE are critics a-plenty of the Admins
i tration's spending program. Indeed,
there probably is hardly citizen in the land
who does not realize that the sooner these
vast expenditures are reduced, the better of
we shall be.
But where and how TO reduce them: that
seems TO be the stickler.
Gov. Eugene Talmadge of Georgia broad
cast a severe arraignment Of the spending
program the other night. He urged that AAA
benefits and the bonus be paid out of the
81 1885, 100000 work-relef fund before this
money is poured in rat holes, squandered, and
used as political bait"
Let's see. now: The bonus would take two
billions and the triple-A payments half as
much more, and half billion is already ear
marked for direct relief
Take all this away, and what is left for
work-relief? Hardly enough to make the
work-relief plan useful agent in fighting
depression.

BASIC LAW NECESSARY

FAILURE Of the railroad pension bill to get
by the United States Supreme Court sug-
gests that We shall have to revise the Con-
stitution before we can put through any really
comprehensive social security program.
As the Constitution stands we have to 20
sideways when We want to embody social
reforms in The national law The railroad
pension bill illustrates the process perfectly.
There is nothing in the Constitution giving
the Federal government any direct control over
the railroads, for the very excellent reason that
no one on earth had ever heard of steam
railroads at the time the Constitution was
written.
What the Constitution does do is give Con-
gress power to regulate interstate commerce
and it is under that authority that all our
railroad legislation has been devised.
In the pension plan, Congress tried to ex-
teno this power in a new direction
1t set up a social security program-for
that is really all the pension plan was-to af-
feet one particular group of employees and
one particular industry and put it through
under the plea that such legislation was
proper part of the regulation of interstate
commerce
The Supreme Court didn't see it that way,
and it is hardly to be wondered at. 1t ruled
that the pension plan was not in any real
sense an integral part of the regulation of
interstate commerce, and that, since it was
not, Congress was powerless to order it. If
We lay aside our preconceived notions about
the intrinsic merit of pensions, We have to
admit that the ruling is pretty sensible.
Now all this illustrates the handicap Con-
gress is under in trying to advance any social
program. 1t simply lacks direct constitutional
authority-for when the Constitution was writ
ten it never occurred to any one that govern
ment would find it necessary to do such things.
1t has to make its advances by indirect
means which means that any social program
it puts through is apt to be upset by the courts.
The logical thing to do would be to amend
our Constitution, giving Congress the powers
It needs. Then when a social security law
comes up, it could be decided strictly on its
merits, and not on an obscure legal point
arising from a document which was drawn up
before any one imagined that social security
legislation would ever seem advisable.
TO do this would simply be to recognize
the fact that the whole scope of government
has changed since the Constitution was
written.
