CONTRAST IN LINERS

WITHIN recent weeks two of the most ia
nous ocean liners of modern times have
headed for the boneyard. 1t was announced
not long ago that the Leviathan, after a val
liant but unsuccessful struggle to get out of
the red ink column, would be turned over to
the Navy Department for breaking up. and
now it is reported from London that the IA
nous Mauritania will presently be broken up
at RoSyth, Scotland.
Of these two giant liners, the Mauritania
has certainly had the greater share of luck,
For q years she has been one of the ac-
knowledged queens Of the sea. Until the Ger
mans sent out their new express liners she
held the mythical blue ribbon" for speed
The Leviathan, on the other hand was
born under an unlucky star. informed in New
York in 1914, she lay idle until used as a
troop ship. After the war she was put into
passenger service, but she never paid her
way. In all her peace-time service she was a
white elephant.
And now both of these ships are on the
way out. The roster of Atlantic steamers
won't seem the same without either the
Mauritania or the Leviathan. y

ELECTRICITY GAINS IN USE

D. w. KERR. representing the National
~ Electrical Manufacturers Association,
appeared before the House Interstate Com
merce Committee the other day in the hear
ings on the utility holding company regula-
ton bill A Congressman asked him If there
was any doubt that good market for cleo
tricty exists.
None whatever" he replied. why, We
have the best salesman in the United States
selling electricity-the President"
And there is something in that remark.
Whatever may be said about the present cleo
trio power controversy-and there is much TO
be said on both sides. and little of it is being
left unSaid-we are at least stepping up our
electric power consumption at a tremendous
rate.
Whether government or private industry
provides the juice. we are going to be using
more and more of it from now on. The age
OF electricity is just beginning.

THE COTTON TAX

CENATOR WALSH of Massachusetts, de.
nounces the cotton processing tax as ruin
Gus to the textile industry and a levy on con-
sumers for the benefit of cotton growers.
Certain cotton state Senators also oppose
the processing tax But they would not abolish
the subsidy which its proceeds provide for
their constituents. Instead they would reach
into the general tax funds.
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma sees rem
edy in cheaper currency. Senator Long of
Louisiana sees the possibility of a cotton
tariff. Senator Tydings of Maryland would
abolish crop control and junk the NRA along
with the AAA. That would mean return of
prices which bankrupted the growers and re-
turn of sweatshop wages and child labor in
textile mills
Senator Bankhead of Alabama defends the
present system of applying to cotton farming,
the methods Of controlled production long re-
sorted to by manufacturing industries. What's
good business for industry he says, is good
business for farmers.
Thus RACES the many-sided controversy,
surface eruptions of a problem that defies
painless solution. The cotton farmers. them
selves victims OF Smoot-Hawleyism which
dried up the foreign markets that formerly
absorbed half of their output, apparently are
willing to test a while longer the Bankhead
experiment. At least they so voted last fall.
Sound economics requires the cotton in
dustry to stand on its own shaky legs. 1t can
not be permanently subsidized out of the gen.
eral tax funds. So long as acreage limitation
payments are made to cotton farmers the
money should be raised by direct levy on the
industry itself, such as the processing tax.

And what are the net results of

Postponing War

THE speed with which all European ma
u tons are preparing for war is strikingly
revealed by the latest United Press roundup
from a dozen capitals. With Austria follow
ing Germany's example in open rearmament
in defiance Of the treaties. the former Allies
of western Europe and the new nations of
eastern Europe are racing TO expand all
branches Of the military services. Aviation
and poison gas are receiving most attention.
Already France, Belgium, Switzerland, and
Italy are concentrating troops on the frontiers.
Equally significant is the wave Of fear
sweeping the civilian populations. In several
countries the people are being trained to
escape bombing and gas attacks, and in other
countries civilians of their own accord are
rushing to buy gas masks and to bomb-proof
their cellars.
From all Of this the reader may conclude
that war is only question Of weeks. That is
possible, but not probable. 1t is possible be-
cause all Of the basic causes Of war are pres
ent in extreme form, and because the final
shock which brings the big explosion is usually
a sudden, unexpected, and relatively small jar.
But war this spring or summer is not probable
because all Of the governments concerned are
trying-for different reasons-to postpone it.
Germany. whose provocation is chiefly re-
sponsible for present fears, still needs many
months in her amazingly rapid and concen-
trated effort for preparedness supremacy. Ac-
tual military aggression by Hitler in 1885 is
unlikely for it would play into the hands of
the stronger Allies
France has more reason to strike now, be-
fore Germany is ready. Such sc-called pre-
ventive war, however, was more likely year
ago than today. Then Frances military SUI
premacy was much greater. Then also she
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-04-09

was more dependent than today on her own
military power. Within the last year she has
strengthened her defense alliance with Great
Britain, completed an agreement with Italy,
and even reached an accord with Russia.
Therefore, compared with year ago when
France played with the idea Of a preventive
war, she is today weaker If her army is taken
alone, but she is actually stronger because her
new alliances have almost isolated Germany
Frances alliances, however are good only
for defensive war and not for preventive
war in which the Allies woul6 invade Ger
many. Indeed the popular hatred Of war is
so great. probably even the French people
would be willing to march into Germany first
Among the larger powers, apparently the only
governments with sufficient internal control
to order an aggressive invasion Of another
country are the German, Italian and japanese
relationships.
The net result is that France wants to
postpone war until she can complete the iso-
lation of Nazi Germany. Hitler wants to
postpone war until he can perfect his military
machine-rneanwhile trying automatically to
win Britain away from France and into a
German alliance for war against Russia.
In the diplomatic maneuvers the French
British-Italian conference at Stresa this week
and the larger Geneva meeting next week are
important. 1t is not likely, however, that they
will be final. The nervous diplomatic trading
back and forth, which usually is the prelude
to war probably will continue for several
months
The chances of peace depend upon wide
united front against Nazi militarism, accom-
panied by an enlightened allied policy grant,
ing Germany complete political equality and
just economic concessions

ADOLPH S. OCHS

PERSONALITY behind. not in, its product,
driving force and purpose that built up
a great newspaper without ever markedly in
dividualizng its character or its columns
such was Adolph S. Ochs' own idea of his
relation to the New York Times and to
Journalism. To the end he remained the
quiet but compelling presence in the back
ground. To the very end he worked, for death
itself found him yesterday in conference with
his executives
He took a moritund newspaper and in
few years made Of it one of the great news
gathering journals Of the modern world.
Without crusades, without hobbies. without
strongly defined editorial policies. concen-
trating solely on the objective side Of journal
ism, on the obtaining and printing Of news,
the Times steadily justified its owners theory
Of what it ought to be.
Other men have made powerful and in
fluential newspapers on totally different
theory Of public service. Mr.. Ochs was al
ways ready to admire and applaud the
achievements of a Greedy, Dana, Pulitzer,
a scripps. but their way was not his way. He
stuck steadfastly to his own idea. The very
impersonality of the Times is a monument
to the personality that directed without color
ing it.
From the day when, youth Of 49, he gave
a $500 note for control of the Chattanooga
Times to yesterday when he died in harness.
Mr.. Ochs' career was one of enthusiastic, I'M
ceasing devotion to journalism on the lines
from which he never swerved. man of
great charm and kindness, if he never figured
conspicuously in the public eye it was because
he did not choose to do so. Yet few days
ago he paid admiring tribute to the honors

PARAGRAPH FREES CRIMINAL

TN his Illuminating book, Ten Thousand
L Public Enemies" Courtney Riley Cooper
reveals that group of business men from a
certain city visited a Department OF Justice
official not long ago and told him that they
had raised a large fund to finance vigilance
committee in their town to drive out the
crooks. They wanted the official to advise
them how to go about it.
His advice was short and to the point.
GO back and chase out your crooked law
yers and politicians" he said, land your
crime problem won't bother you any more"
It has been said so often that modern
crime is tied up with political and legal cor
ruption that it hardly seems necessary to re-
peat it. But once in while the days news
provides an admirable illustration.
The Ohio Parole Board recently author
lied a parole for a young man who was
serving a I-to-10-year term for criminal
assault on a widow, whom he beat almost to
death. He had served only 10 months.
The Judge who sentenced him-who called
his crime about as vicious thing as ever
came to this courts acknowledgement the
parole: SO did the prosecutor who tried his
case.
The woman he beat up still is suffering
from her injuries, year after the Grim, was
committed.
How come the parole then? Well, state
Senator who is also lawyer wrote brief,
one-parsgraph letter TO the Parole Board,
urging that the parole be granted The Sem
ator says he knows little about The case, ex-
cept that he has a vague notion that an in
Justice was done. He does net know the con-
Wet personally.
Where did he get his information on the
caSe2 oh, he got it from police prosecu-
tor in the city where the crime was COM
mitted-an underling in the administration
of justice who gained some notoriety when
the assault took place by refusing to issue a
felony warrant for the arrest.
You needn't read the outline Of this case
more than once TO see that there is some
thing exceedingly peculiar about it; and it il
worth thinking about. because it is typical
OF the way in which subterranean political
influences can be brought to bear in favor of
criminals
Here we have man sent up for pecul-
iarly vicious kind of crime; a man who very
obviously deserves to be kept behind the bars
for long. long time.

is, the statue of Lincoln was un-
yelled. No man or woman could look
at that bronze statue and not hope
ana love a trifle more.

Such order and such precision and
such efficiency and such an Army
thrilled the laymen.
One thing is apparent. We real

other nations, many Of them, covet
part of our riches. From coveting
to actually taking is but step. So
if we would protect ourselves we
had better arm ourselves with the
tools and arms of the day. Conse-
quently when President Roosevelt
increases the Army, or orders
bombing planes, or builds ships we
should applaud and encourage these
sane steps.

SEES SLACKENING IN
GIVING LIGHT"

BY John Kennedy.
"Give light and the people will
find their own way"
The man who coined that phrase
was indeed a philosopher of the
liberal and broad-minded variety,
but has the paper which so proudly
subscribed to it's use as a slogan
lived up to its definition? I, for
one, deny that it has to the best
of its ability. For instance, why has
this paper which, like others, is
supposed to shed light, been so no.
toriously silent on monetary and
banking reform and let Father
Coughlin and a handful of others
battle alone in bringing to light the
facts of the situation?
Although The Times may not
agree with Father Coughlin'S eco
nomic theories, it still must admit
certain unquestionable facts per-
tanning to the crooked manipulation
of our banking and monetary sys-
TENS by irresponsible individuals to
the detriment of the masses that
Father Coughlin has brought to
light.
Why hasn't The Times and other
papers given an open account Of
the Mexican situation while they
were to blatantly decrying the per-
secutions in Germany? And why
haven't these light shedding editors
reflected some of their Elimination
on the condition of the dis
franchised Negro in the Southern
states while they are taxing their

the Negroes of Abyssinia. Yes, let's
have more light on things in gen.

SKIRTS AND PROSPERITY!

DROBABLY the least important bit of news
of the day is the dispatch from Paris
announcing that womens skirts are going to
be shorter this summer. Yet fanciful man
could deduce from this announcement har-
binger of restored prosperity.
Some one figured out very odd circum-
stance. not long ago; to wit, that skirt lengths
tend to increase in time Of depression and to
grow shorter as good times return.
There are even in existence charts to show
that ever since the war the distance between
the ground and the hem Of the average
woman's skirt has been a pretty fair gauge
OF the general health Of business.
Why all this should be is something for the
seers and the soothsayers. Nevertheless. there
it is-short skirts stand for prosperity. long
ones for depression. Hail the latest news from

By r. E. NJ.
Carl Reeves, April 2, asked
through the Message Center that
The Times turn on the light a lit
tie to see if we can not see right
on through Gen. Johnson's column
and find out what is really behind
it. The Times did not explain,
but Johnson's objective has be-
come more clear. 1t is vicious
attack on Father Coughlin; but
why, is still in doubt.
One suppoSition was that the
General was anxious to again bask
in the limelight. But the great
ballyhoo each. evening, a quarter
page of publicity and art, soon
convinced people that it was more
than that.
Two months ago, a Socialist
writer in Scribner's coupled Huey
Long and Father Coughlin. Mr..
johnson evidently thought he
could get good shot at Father
Coughlin by bringing them into
his talk together, without leaving
the impression that he was at
lacking Father Coughlin because
of his religion. Later, I am told,
he did bring in the Protestant and
Catholic religion. Johnson. after
his first speech, explained that he
had submitted it to a number or
group of Catholic men or prelates.
Others, recalling that johnson
called Father Coughlin the Ameri-
can Hitler, lean to the belief that
he (Johnson) may be organizing
following in which he would not
only be the "Fuehrer," but MAYBE
the President or Vice President of
the United States if the Liberty
League FasciSts were able to de-
feat the Democrats.

Congress is an absolute menace of
civil war" OF course, Father
Coughlin did not say that he
would overthrow the government.
He was quoting loosely from the
Declaration of Independence,
which says, THAT whenever any
form of government becomes de-
Structive of these ends, it is the
right of the people to alter or
abolish it.
He continues in his article Of
April 4, MY reason for opposing
him is that know his plan won't

Everybody would be glad to hear

the article, he says, IF the power

when Father Coughlin, replying to

FACES, PEP IN 1886

New blood, new faces and new pep
is what the Republican party needs
to win in 1886. I am glad that the
new outfit called the 'HooSier Re-

Numerous Democratic and Re-

he certainly deserves vote of thanks
for allowing the horse fountain to
remain so the poverty stricken fam
lilies may still carry water from it
as they need it, even though it does
cost the city $45 year.
My few words of praise will prob
ably do little good for Hubert Riley,
but I, for one, extend him my sim
cere thanks and would like to add
that what this city neeGs most is
more Hubert Rileys.
