Rotterdam's Captain
Remains Aboard
Stricken Boat

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Oct.
.U.N.S0.-"Everybody is well" was
the report carried off the British
steamer Ariguani as the passen-
gers from the grounded liner Rot
terdam trooped down the gang
plank here shortly after dawn to-
day.
Seventy members Of the crew
and most Of the baggage came
with the $50 passengers.
All win be lodged at q local
hotel until arrangements can be
made for transferring them to
America.
Pair On HOneymoon
The survivors were cheerful
after their trying experience. They
were taken off the Rotterdam last
night after having spent the day
stranded on Morant Gays. The
Holland-American liner grounded
yesterday morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Fox and
Mr.. and Mrs. Abraham Sanders,
both couples of New York, were
among the first to reach shore.
The Sanderses are on their wed
ding trip.
Telling of the grounding Of the
Rotterdam, Mrs. Sanders said she
was sitting on q couch when she
felt a sudden shock and two sharp
jolts. Looking out over the water
she saw much foam, and knew
the ship was in shallow water.
Ship Left on Reef
Many of those sleeping at the
time were not awakened and when
they did arise, noticing the ship
was stopped, asked if they were
In Kingston. Some Of the Off
GERS said they were, apparently to
allay fears, passengers said.
Passengers were in good spirits
throughout yesterday. Most OF
them will sail for New York Sun
day on the S. S. Volendam.
The Rotterdam was left hard on
the reef, leaking slightly.
The captain and the balance Of
the crew remained aboard the
Rotterdam. They were not in
danger, and a number Of small
craft were standing by. It was
considered relocating Of the vessel,
hard aground in six feet Of water,
would be most difficult if not i'm
possible.
Other Americans who were
brought here by the Ariguani were
j. H. Wildman, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Child, of Water
ford, Conn, and Mrs. B. Cohen, Of
New York city.

wide.
There seems to be a definite link
to all the revolts of the world
And what is the cause? Not Huey
Long, not a Father Coughlin, not a
Hitler, nor even a Roosevelt.
No, the cause simply is this:
The econmic and social systems
under which the people Of the world
have existed have broken down. Ana,
in the bewilderment and right of the
people, they are rushing this way and
that to escape from the holocaust.
But they merely entangle themselves
more, build up an even greater doom.
LEADERS?
Can Huey Longs capital levy tax
actually distribute wealth? Isn't some
thing more fundamental than that
needed-and will the world not have
to come tot to save itself? But
Huey3 simple economics, as fascinat-
ing as they seem, are not even the
beginning of the alphabet in any real
study of government and economics.
The La Toilette, Norman Thomas,
Senator Couzens know a thousand
times more concerning workable eco
nomics than does Huey Long. But
people are demanding strong drink
and Huey is that. Hitler is that.
Mussolini is that. Stain is that.
And the economics of the Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin, no matter how
splendid his social program may be,
can only add to the monetary con-
fusion of the world, economists say.
(Besides, Father COughlin now has
mixed a class emotionalism, and
hint OF race ernotionalism, with eco
nJoncs, making hs appeals highly al
lurng to many who have little or moth
ing, but obscuring the vision which
may lead to the real road. The way
out is no such easy road as Father
Coughlin evidently believes and now
has millions of others believing.)
Why is there no trade, no business
no employment? Because trade and
currency conditions in the world are
in such a state as to make the inter-
flow of trade an impossibility.
But dare a man to speak up, calm
ly, explaining realities?
Could a man TAX edirect steps for
ward, meeting social and economic
conditions squarely?

velt. BY a series of smashing forward

For u4tra-II5htWaru folk, such as
Hastings, President Roosevelt's New

left Still, the administration distinct
the extreme left. Thus the rightist
"ultras," if manifestly insufficiently
numerous to make a formidable last
stand of their own, have no option
but to accept Roosevelt-ism, as the
best they can get. Besides, there is
more than a chance that the New
Dealers, for the sake Of annexing
them to the latters' following will
make reasonable concessions to their
philosophy.
NOT HUEY
The rightists have onep ronounced
advantage; they will have little diff
ficulty in agreeing on a leader-Pre-
sident Roosevelt.
The leftists have one for present
purposes in Senator Huey P. Long,
but, as a presidential candidate, it is
obvious that he wouldn't do. His pre-
sent services are appreciated by many
leftists who, nevertheless, wouldn't
want him in the White House, as
too erratic, even if able; too obvious
ly a Fascist; too gross and vulgar
also.
In short, the Kingfish would be a
tremendously valuable presidential
supporter, but he wouldn't do as a
candidate. And, as a supporter, he
would place whatever candidate he
might be supporting at the disadvan-
tage of having every one suspect that
Huey had him under his thumb.
Such is the leftists' gravest lack
today

ty and city superitnendents, rather
than by the teachers, although the
teachers supply the money for it's pro-
paganda and lobbying activities. So it
is expected that this association will
again throw the full force of it's 30
900 teacher-members and the allied
any move to reduce the number of
county superitnendents.
Strange as it may seem, however,
much Of the agitation for the abolition
of the county as the supervisory unit
and the adoption of the district plan
of supervision is coming from the
better county superintendent, those
who are interested in the welfare of
the schools and the school children
instead of in merely the salaries at
tached to their jobs, it has been learn
ed. For, while such a move would
mean decrease in the number of su-
perintendents, it is generally conced-
cd that the 40 superintendent who
would be likely to be retained and
promoted to division superintendents
would be the best 40 out of the 1OO
present superintendent. It is also
conceded that these division superin-
tendents should be and will be paid
considerably higher salaries than
county superintendents now receive,
since they will have many more teach
ers and schools under their super
vision. At the present time their are
county superintendent who have on
ly two or three schools and not more
than % teachers under their super
vision
With our paved roads and rapid
means of travel, one superintendent
could now supervise the schools in
three or four counties just as easily
as he could in one county 20 years
ago" A member of the Senate who
is interested in this bill said today
The larger counties, Of course, would
be left as single administrative dis
trists, just as they are now, since the
