While it generally pays to open
the fourth best Of your longest

when 1t pays to open short suit.
Even though you may not win

Outraged" wrote group Of eminent
Americans 10 President Roosevelt, urging i'm

security program in Congress. The high hopes
Of millions Of distressed people, raised by the
Administration in its solemn covenant with
the people. should be promptly fulfilled"
Both party platforms promised security leg
islation. Last year the Administration side
tracked both the Wagner-Lewis unemploy-
ment insurance and Du-Connery old-age pen
sion bills on the promise Of a wen-rounded
program Of security this session. Bravely
enough President Roosevelt set forth on this
high adventure. He put group Of experts to
work last summer.
on Jan. II he sent to Congress the fruit Of
their months OF toll, the new Wagrer-Lewis-
Doughton bill. He adopted this measure as
ma ior plank in his New Deal platform, warned
Of the dreadful consequences Of economic in
security" pointed to the A Legislatures then
meeting and the need Of guiding them in en-
acting cooperating laws. and insisted that
this legislation should be brought forward with
a minimum Of delay
Instead Of a minimum there has been
maximum of delay. Through eight precious
weeks the House Ways and Means Committee
tinkered with the measure. When finally it
was ready for the floor the Democratic leaders
quietly shunted it aside III favor of the inla-
tionary Patman bonus bill. The revamped bill,
approved by the President, still is unreported
In the meantime bewildered state Legisla-
lures waited Twelve have now adjourned
Several have blndly passed state security laws
contingent upon expected Federal action.
DELAYS have dangerous ends. The dilatory
tactics of House leaders invite hawkers OF half
baked security schemes to do their political
worst. Witness the popular recall of an oregon
assemblyman who refused to indorse the Town
send plan, the favorable report by House
committee on the extreme Lundeen bill, and
the House move to scrap unemployment insur-
ance and drive for old-age pensions only.

gram the Administration will court serious

1t might be pointed out that John
Carroll, the first bishop Of the see
over which Archbishop Curley now
rules and also the first bishop in the
United States, was called upon to
serve as a member Of a delegation
sent to Canada on a political err
rand Bishop England Of Charles
ton frequently spoke before the
Senate, yet the ecclesiastical ac-
tivities of these men suffered not a
bit as the result, in fact such men
as Carroll and England were the
backbone Of the early church in the
United States. The clergy has been
frequently forced to assert itself in
matters political for the sake Of re-
ligious tolerance.
No clear thinking Catholic could
resent reasonable controversy be-
tween the press and the clergy con-
corning statements made by the lat
ter as citizen, but IN rebuttal, The
Times has avoided logical argu-
ments and has resorted to degrad-
ing cartoons and caricatures Of Fa-
Their Coughlin clad in his priestly
garb.
The press certainly doesn't leave
politics to the politician, nor does
any public-spirited citizen. When
this is done the taxpayer pays
through the nose for the graft that
is bound to ensue.

why not? They seem to think it
might hurt Japan's feelings-she or
someone else might misunderstood.
If the shoe doesn't fit, who is going
to wear it? Certainly no honest In
dianapoliS citizen feels insulted
when he sees a big police officer
swinging along toward him, but If
he has a stolen hen squawking I'M
der his coat tails, he might feel a
little offended and think the public
protector showed poor taste.
AS for using taxpayers money to
build up coast defenses, this gov
eminent is responsible for millions
of defenseless women and children
and elderly people. It is the duty Of
this government to protect them by
it's various departments, from lust
and crime, from all sources. World
conditions make coast defenses as
important, surely, as city police.
The rather popular idea that If
banks left their vaults unlocked,
they would not be robbed, and that
if police stopped carrying guns, So
ciety would not have any enemies, is
just as true as that an unprotected
country means peace and safety for
her children.

Looking at America
; BY GEN. HUGH s. JOHNSON

OKMULGEE, Okla, March 30-This Euro
~ pean shindy is no joke France took a
persuasive position at the peace conference. 1t
was that not single French generation in CEN
turtles had escaped the horror OF a German in
vasion.
She insisted that the war to end wars should
leave her secure from that. She made several
suggestions that would have kept Germany help
less. But her exaggerated economic demands,
added TO these military proposals, would have
made France too strong and Germany too weak.
The conference would not concede them.
France repressed German armament, Great
ed formidable frontier Notifications and pre-
pared the most powerful army on the globe.
Thus she has lived for nearly 20 years in armed
security But the thing which Hitler now de-
mands would blow her security away in a
breath There is much to be said on the Ger
man side. The peace terms were impossible
The arnistice promises were not fulfilled and
Germany was still able to fight. The remaking
of the map Of Europe was mess But we are
considering here not equities, but facts.
1t is hard for us, behind our barriers of sea-
water to understand the viewpoint of a nation
like France She has lived for centuries under
threat and has seen that threat descend time
after time The German demands present to
France an immediate decision of the greatest
portent
CERMANY rearmed means war and prob
" able defeat for her within the next few
years AS matters now stand. she could go
through Germany like hot knife through but
ter She could seize certain productive areas
and render her ancient enemy impotent. That
would greatly increase her own strength.
Her deadly question is, easy victory and per-
manent security by striking now, or long period
OF costly suspense and crushing burdens OF COM
petitive armament with possible defeat and
destruction few years hence.
# she had only herself to consult there would
seem to be but one choice to make. She would
march tomorrow, but there is England and Italy.
The German steel industry in the hands Of
France is no light concern for England France
accessible to her northern flank is nothing for
Italy to smile away. There only remains some
sort of alliance against Germany and the cd
instability of a balance Of power.
It is a gloomy outlook for the peace Of the
world and, in the present economic prostration
of the globe, for what we have the nerve to call
our civilization.
Why is Hitler so bold against the great forces
which oppose him? man intimately familiar
n the German chemical industry predicted
all this TO me three months ago. He said the
Germans have new and devastating gas against
which there is no defense. These stories about
new weapons making nation invincible never
Pan out. They may have a new and terrible gas.
So have we. But wars are not won by magic any
more than depreSsions are cured that way.
