WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

startled the Ways and Means Committee
with statements that were far from being
OF orthodox G. o. P. stand-pat hue. Per-
haps the journanst-statesman imbibed
his rugged political individualiSm from
his association with Grover Cleveland, to
whom he was personal secretary from
1892 until 1895. He is regarded wholly
sympathetic with the New Deals re-
ciprocal tariff program.
Politicians wonder whether and to
what extent the Green-Lewis schism may
weaken the power of the organized labor
movement as political factor. There
is no present indication that Lewis, in
his drive for the industrial union idea
as against the craft union, will, at least
in the near future, carry his crusade
TO the point of taking the United Mine
Workers out of the A. F. of L. The con-
sensuS is that he will concentrate for
the time being on fighting for the in
duStrial union within federation ranks,
confident that he will ultimately prevail.
Whether Lewis some day will seek to
unhorse Green from the presidency as
some sideliners expect he may, is not
discernible through the early smoke of
battle.
North Carolina has budget balancing
Governor of its own, j. c. B. Ehringhaus
Democrat, with a record that compares
favorably with Gov. Landons widely
vaunted achievement in Kansas. The
Tarheel State balanced its budget by
cutting expenses more than 80 per cent,
levying general sales tax during the
emergency and applying executive con-
troll to all, instead of only part, of State
expenditure. The result was Immediately
to bring spending within the limits of
revenue and to reduce the per capita
cost of government in North Carolina to
q point which is among the lowest, if not
the lowest, in the country. Gov. Ehring-
haus. lawyer and educational authority,
doesn't expect his economy record to con-
vert him into presidential possibility.
DR.. Frank Bohn, writer and lecturer,
who has just accepted the Craftsmanship
Of the Emergency Committee in Aid of
Political Refugees From Nazi-ism, is a
son-in-law Of Secretary of Commerce
Roper. He is organizing national drive
to raise $250,000, primarily among nom
Jews, for the purposes of the committee,
which was formed at the instance of
James G. Mcdonald, League of Nations
high commissioner for refugees coming
from Germany. DR.. Bohn emphasizes
that Nazi oppression is not confined to
Jews, but also affects Catholics and
Protestants. His impressions are based
upon 2,000-mile automobile trip through
Germany last Summer. Trade unioniSts
as well as religious groups, DR.. Bohn
says, are victims of Hitlerism.

How do you tell the expert from the
flour -fiusher," the real thing from the
fake?
There are some exceptions, but In
the main the best test is quietness.
The genuine expert, the man who
knows, in any line, never finds 1t neces-
sary to talk Loudly in expressing his views.
There Is no inner compulsion on
him by himself to bolster his own faith
In himself.
That is the point where the faker
usually shows himself for what he is.
If some one is telling you something,
and while he is doing it speaks both
loud and long, be somewhat suspicious
of his knowledge.
If, at the same time, he finds 1t neces-
sary to run down" the knowledge sof
some one else, be more suspicious.
%Ek
In one of these two ways the false
expert" usually gives himself away.
The sad part of it ali is that he so
often is taken at his own valuation.
Confidence in ones self Is inspiring
to others.
It ought to mean, and sometimes does.
that the speaker knows what he Is talk
ing about.
Sometimes it means just the opposite,
yet the hearer may have difficulty in
detecting the spurious in such q case,
unless he keeps well in mind the two
signs of the faker.
Salesmanship has so long recognized
the futility of knocking the competitor
that it is generally accepted practice to
refrain from doing 1t, even when II Is
possible. A thing may be possible, but
not feasible.
Every one has seen and heard the coy
ness with which statesmen speak OF
competitor. Occasionally it is interest,"
ing to hear one Of them Solemnly declare
he will not belittle his opponent-and
then 90 straight ahead and do 1t, under
a little prodding.
Yet it is generally recognized that by
attempting to run down" the other fel-
low the prospect" may get the idea that
the rival article must be pretty good
or no one would take the trouble to
knock" it. Hence the saying, Every
knocks a boost" which often has a
great deal Of truth in 1t.
Very few experts, in any line, find 1t
either necessary or desirable to talk
loudly when attempting to tell what
they know.
They let their knowledge speak for
itself, and, If 1t doesn't, that. unfor-
tunately, Is the listeners loss.
They can tell him the truth, they
cannot prevent him from the loss he
may incur by Understanding his
knowledge.
1t is right here that so much heart
ache comes, in this complex world of
ours. A great many persons know a
great many things. but too often the
holder of knowledge is unable to impress
others, to their own benefit, without
benefit of degree or publicity. Unless he
blows his own horn" to high heaven he
is in danger of being overlooked. This
very fact has set up vicious circle by
permitting many with no claims to
genuine knowldge to impress the unwary
through the simple expedient of ele-
mentary boasting and very loud talk
ing when on the favorite subject.

The Taxing Power.

Chairman Fletcher Of the Republican
National Committee sounds a new note
in the political campaign Of 1886, already
under way. He asks the people to
repudiate-and defeat-the Democratic
Congress which gave to President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt powers which under the
Constitution were to be exercised solely
by the legislative branch, particularly the
taxing power. The Republican chairman
would hold the Democratic House of
Representatives particularly responsible
for the abdication of power and place
the blame on that body equally with the
Chief Executive. There Is something in
the argument. It Is no excuse for the
Congress to say that 1t was led by a
dominating executive into passing uncon-
stitutional laws; for Congress to play
Adam to the Roosevelt Eve. If Roosevelt
was the tempter, the blame for any
wrong-doing, any tampering with the
liberties of the people, any increased bur-
dens laid upon them must fall equally
upon a Congress that yielded and
neglected its own duties.
Taking as his text the Guffey coal act,
which seeks through the power of taxa
ton to place the soft coal industry under
the control of the Federal Government
Mr.. Fletcher points out that here is an
effort to do by indirection what the
Supreme Court has ruled cannot be done
directly. For the Guffey coal act uses
the power of taxation to compel the set
up of an N. R. A. code for the coal in
dustry. If, says Mr.. Fletcher, the tax
ing power can be used by the Federal
Government to control one industry it
can be used to control all industries.
And sooner or later it will be so used.
The consequent curtailment of the lib
critics of the people and political DOM
ination Of their lives will be effective and
devastating-although perhaps in line
with the planned economy" Of the
New Deal.
The power to tax the people, said John
Marshall, great Chief Justice in the past,
is the power to destroy the people. AL
ready the New Dealers have shown an
inclination to use this power to bring
about the objectives which they have in
mind for the American people. This
power was by the Constitution placed
particularly in the hands Of the most
popular branch Of the national 1egis-
lature. The right to initiate taxes lies
in the hands of the House Of Repre-
sentatives. which every two years Is
elected by the people. Mr.. Fletcher's
complaint is that this body has per-
mitted the Chief Executive to write the
tax laws and in some instances to i'm
pose the taxes. The Guffey coal act is
not the only New Deal measure which
has levied taxes. The A. A. A. is another
example of what may be done along that
line, with its processing taxes-taking
from the consumer money to be paid di-
rectly through Government checks to the
farmers for not producing crops.
The Republican chairman wisely points
out that the Constitution and the Su-
preme Court cannot hold out forever
against incursions by Congress and the
Executive upon the liberties Of the Amer
ican people. The people themselves must
bear hand in the fight. And the people
themselves, by their votes, can either
toss New Deal Congress into the dis
card or place it again In power.

A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Greek Fruit Vendor.

Greek Fruit Vendor.
Where his push-cart splashes color
In midcity street,
His dark eyes count fruit and dollar
And the passing feet.
Only twice her feet-so Slenderl
When she passes by the vendor
Finds his slaved glance upward rowing,
Never daring to be loving,
To her form-like graceful grape stem,
Clad in blue from neck to soft hem.
Like lemon leaves, her dainty handsl
And luscious fruits Of warmer lands
In her bright lips-her melting eyes
Blue as his far-of sea and skiesl
Her silken skin like pearly pear,
And like banan' her yellow hairi
Where his push-cart splashes color,
His slow dream each week:
Make enough Of mighty dollar
So to smile and speak,

America Stands Pat.

In the face of indications that leading
League powers are crawfishing about
sanctions against Italy, the State De-
partment has seen fit to affirm that there
Is no recession In the American attitude
toward the war in Africa. Measures
adopted, alike to maintain neutrality and
to restrain trade in essential war mate
rials," are not to be relaxed. To this
program the Washington Government
will resolutely adhere, regardless OF
League pussyfooting, as manifested by
sudden postponement of sanctions affect
ing oil, steel, cotton, copper and iron.
Geneva was to move at once to include
these commodities in the supplies with
held from Italy under export embargoes,
but because of British and French polit-
ical exigencies-notably Premier Laval's
parliamentary crisis-it was decided to
put of the question for the time being.
The ostensible reason is that delay may
facilitate certain behind-the- he-scenes peace
negotiations in London, Paris and Rome.
Mussolini's threat that an oil embargo
would mean war" may also have had
o certain restraining effect.
The United States, having initiated its
neutrality and trade policy independently
of the League or other governments, will
follow its own course, irrespective Of
what Europe does or does not do. Action
In Washington from the outset has been
characterized by that method. Congress
voted an embargo on implements of
war;" applicable to all belligerents, weeks
before the League came to grips with the
African conflict. The United States def
milton Of implements of war" practically
was adopted by the League when sane
tions later were formulated. Without in
any respect identifying itself with
Geneva's measures the United States on
It's own account and initiative proceeded
step by step to do its part to enforce
peace by series Of appeals and admoni-
tions to American business not to pro-
long hostilities by supplying either bellig-
erent with war materials.
Criticism has been heard this week to
the effect that League inaction, especial
ly respecting oil, has 'left America out
on a limb"-maneuvered into the posi-
ton Of declaring singlehanded vital
economic boycott against Mussolini. Be
that as 1t may, the administration has
properly determined to pursue its formu-
lated course. The American attitude of
frowning upon blood money" in the
form of war profits, will undergo no basic
change.
The only inkling of alteration is that
ordinary commerce with the belligerents
will not be halted. The moral suasion
the Government would exercise is to
apply only to abnormal trade, such as
the swollen volume of oil and other
Binews Italy has obtained here for prose-
eution Of her campaign. Otherwise the
United States will continue to do its
utmost, within the Governments powers,
to bring peace by shutting off war sup
plies.
IN sucking consistently to that pur-
pose, despite the Vaccinations and shilly-
shallying of the League, the administra-
ton will not lack widespread support of
Its policy. That policy is to mitigate the
chance Of American involvement in the
war, to abstain from prolonging 1t and
to avoid profiting from it while it lasts.
