This problem is fundamental and
contributes to both our political and
economic difficulties. If it will con-
tribute to the spiritual, moral and
economic Well-being of our nation
to rediStribute Our work on a basis
of need, who is so selfish as to OPP
pose such plan, capitalism or no
capitalism?
fear Mr.. r. L. Rus is more in
terested in changing our economic
system than in helping to bring back
normal working conditions.
1 believe there are at least $780,
600 women and girls working who
really don't need jobs Also, that
there are 100000 or 100000 men
working who could retire easily and
live without work. think there are
about 100000 aliens at work in this
nation at jobs which rightfully be-
long to American citizens. If so,
their jobs ought to be given to the
100000 unemployed and our big
geSt problem would be solved.
My statistics may be imperfect,
but the idea is sound and I chal-
lenge any person to prove that this
is not sound reasoning.

A GOVERNOR SPEAKS

COV. GEORGE H. EARLE of Pennsylvania is no
~ long-hared soapboXer, but wealthy patrician
and the head of great industrial commonwealth
Therefore, when he talks the Constitution it is as
a conserver of this countrys institutions and it's
people
THE Constitution" he told radio audience,
must be elastic enough to allow for economic evolu-
ton"
A Supreme Court decision against the Guffey
Coal Control Act would be IAN unspeakable misin-
depreciation of the Constitution" for it would block
Congress efforts to free coal miners from their in
dustrial serfdom" decision against the Wagner
Labor Act would stop the government from insuring
workers the right to bargain collectively
Il believe" he said, that America must and will
have Federal Constitution strong enough to pro-
tect our people from the evils of economic conditions
resulting from reckless, unrestraned private enter
prises,
If the Supreme Court finds this is not possible
under the Constitution it now stands then be-
AeVe our people will amend their Constitution-and
no propaganda from the so-called Constitution saw
crs' viii prevent them"
This we believe is the true liberals viewpoin+
IheSe would not weaken, but strengthen the Con-
stltuton by changing it only when necessary to meet
the changing needs of the republic

NOT A PRETTY STORY

A COURT reporter named Charles A. Griffin
x came down from Seattle to San Francisco and
told this story under oath to the California Supreme
Courts referee in the Mooney habeas corpus pro-
ceedings:
On the day of the Preparedness parade bomb
outrage 10 years ago, he saw Tom Mooney and his
wife watching the parade from the roof of a.
building more than mile from the spot where
state witnesses" Swore they saw Mooney and
Billings plant the bomb The Moneys he said, we're
there during the entire parade until long after the
bomb exploded.
When he read of MONEYS arrest he hurried to
the then district attorney Charles Fickert and pro-
tested MONEYS innocence Fickert waved him aside
called Mooney and his gang" a bunch of anarch
lists" and then offered to get Griffin a. lob if he
would keep quiet about his story He was never
called as witness.
This story is not needed to paint that fragrant
California lily known as the Mooney Scandal i"
The clock pictures and other witnesses already have
established MONEYS alibi on that buildings roof
But it does bulwark Moneys charge that he was
perjured to prison, that the Fckert prosecution knew
its witnesses liars and that it suppressed mate
rial evidence.
And it isn't a pretty story-either in Fickerts
part or in Grfhn's nexcusabe silence through these
years But there's nothing pretty about this whole
affair.

militant attitude. For they see it attack not
on Italy but on their greatest foe, fascism.
These are the same Socialists who have been
smiling, since 1918 in superior way, at the Liberals
who had been trcked into supporting the war ito
end war and make the world safe for democracy !"
They had right to smile
But it is the time for the liberals to smile,
specifically at the Socialists.
For if the peace moves lead to a "war on fascism ="
such war is likely to prove disappointing to the
Socialists the war for democracy" proved to the
liberals. War has way Of bringing results very
different from its detectives. The war to end war"
and make the world safe for democracy" fastened
miltaries and relationships on the victors war
to end fascism" might only fasten fascism on the
countries waging it.
Both Liberals and Socialists today should remem-
Der the words of good old Ben Franklin: There
never was a good war bad peace"

The basis that has been used is not
correct. Miss Perkins, I believe,
said q per cent of the cost of an
item was labor, and labor is, in
1887, to start paying l per cent,
then be increased to 2 per cent
and finally per cent. Then the
employer comes into the picture
to share the added expense.
Is the labor cost of most items
only about 81 per cent? Correctly

THAT'S THE OBJECT OF
THE FORUM-TOLERANCE
BY Hiram Lackey

BY Hiram Lackey
AS we watch the growth Of Hey
wood Broun, and study the power of
his wit and logic, we dirnly realize
the magnificent service which Mr.
Roy w. Howard and his chain of
newspapers render America.
We wish to offer The Indianap-
oils Times our gratitude for its
courage and generosity in publish
ing stingers opposed to its immc-
date interests.
While Mr.. Broun is disarming
our scholarly traitors by his wit and
logic, we might analyze the charac-
ter and motives Of those who be-
tray our sacred rights of intellec-
tual freedom.
Why does a newspaper refuse to
publish articles which are opposed
to its editorial policy? Do not the
editors have the balance of the
newspaper in which to prove their
contentious? Do they not have the
advantage of the prestige of an
editor?
Have men who shape the editorial
policy no faith in the power Of truth
to defend itself? Or do they toe
we'll understand its conquering
power? Can a newspaper refuse to
publish the answers of radicals
without exposing itself to the grave
charge Of being insincere?
In honor of those suffered to bless
us with religious and intellectual
liberty. it is just to expose our half
educated traitors who stoop to do
the sneaking things in their efforts
to fitch from us all that is really
worth dying for in true Ameri-
caniSm.
Behold them as the liars and
towards that they are!
Before The Times clips off that
statement, please recall that it is no
blunter than the truth with which
a certain penniless teacher knocked
out the wealthy conservatives OF
his day, as he signed his own death
warrant.

Regarding your article "a States
Rights Measure" in The Times of
Oct. 81.
Because some states NOW have
an old-age pension law, the Social
Security or Insurance Law is in
conflict. Therefore Silas Strawn
is correct that the recent Federal
law on this subject is a usurpa-
ton of the rights of the states and
must stand a Supreme Court test.
1t will, of course, be considered
unconstitutional, because of the
states rights for $50 years.
A case in point: The Fair Trades
Acts, of California, three times
supported by decisions of the state
Supreme Court. Against these is
the Federal law lin restraint of
trade" and the California Fair
Trade Acts stand against the Fed
eral law. Silas wins without an
argument.
Now, no real business man is
against an old-age pension. The
objection now is the method of
