CONGRESS PROBER

4 GLANCE back at the record Of the recent
n Congress is enough to convince the most
skeptical that one Of Congress most impor-
tant functions IS that of investigating things.
Congress may wobble, delay and waste time
in the preparation and passage Of laws. 1t
may indulge in a great deal of decidedly ninth
rate oratory. 1t may get into silly squabbles
over precedence. dignity and what-not. But
it does do the country a decided service, every
so often. by turning detective.
The whole country, for example, can discuss
the question of American action in the event
Of war abroad a great deal more :ntelligently
because Of the Senates munitions investiga-
tons
Revelations that were made in that investi-
CATION told US much that We needed to know
about things that happened behind the scenes
in the last war. They gave us some profoundly
important knowledge about the international
combine which rolls up profits when nations
fight. They helped US to understand the sub
terranean forces which can make for war at a
time when ordinary folk want peace.
From the House and Senate investigation
Of the fight on the utilities bill we got valuable
information about the way lobbyists can exert
pressure on the elected representatives of the
people The grotesque antics of Mr.. Hopson
should not lead US TO forget the more impor-
tant phases of the inquiry-the discovery, for
instance, of the way in which a small, but
wealthy coterie can launch a food Of fake
kilograms letters and petitions to beat down
congressional resistance and blind congress
sional eyes.
Then there was House Committee that
looked into War Department activities, par
ticularly the purchase Of supplies for the Army
1t is worth remembering that here, too, the &C
tivities Of high-powered lobby were I'M
covered, and that the revelations caused the
court-martial and dismissal of one Army
officer and the indictment of a second.
Senate Committee, inquiring into the
rather sickening squabble about the admin
istration of the Virgin Islands, gave a new in
sight into the way politics is played-and shed
light, also, on our need for a new, fool-proof
system of government for our colonies and
island possessions.
This catalog merely hits the high spots of
the inquiries Of one session Of Congress. A
brief review is enough to prove that investiga-
ton is one of Congress most important jobs.
The electorate must be informed about things
and social life intimately. The only way it can
get the information it needs is through Con-
greSS.

FOREST FIRE DEPARTMENT

THE United States Forest Service broad
- casts the coed news that the acreage swept
by forest fires in the dry season so far is being
held to the lowest mark in years"
In spite of drought conditions in the North
west where fires now are raging. it is disclosed
that in the first 10 days of August fires swept
only $4,000 acres of national forests Of the
West compared with a four-year average of
$4,000 acres for the corresponding period.
Eastern forests also Jared well in spite of
greatly increased areas. Chief Forester Silcox
urges campers and tourists to cooperate
through the dangerous autumnal days.
One reason for the seasons good record is
the help the CCC has given in building new
roads. trails, telephones. firebreaks and other
fire-proofing works. The CCC boys also have
acted as guards. They have become effective
fire ladies Of the woods, and their work should
not be discontinued
1t is reported that better times already
have brought about a shortage Of good CCC
recruits and that a less efficient personnel is
resulting 1t would be a shame if the work
the CCC has started should lapse when pros
perity returns. The woods. our most precious
heritage. need a fire department as well as
city streets.

THE NEUTRALITY TEST
PAGE IL
"A sCRTPPs-HOWARD NEWSPAPER

THE neutrality resolution is entirely salts
factory except that it does not include any
power over loans or financing This important
statement was made by President Roosevelt to
the press yesterday.
If II IS TO be taken as a statement of future
policy-and it would be meaningless other
vise-it means that the Administration at last
is determined to smash the strongest chain
that can pull this neutral country into a for
eign war. Every parent, every wife, every
sweetheart. every youth. who has a personal
stake in keeping this nation out Of war can
rejoice that the President is getting at the
heart Of the difficult neutrality problem
War loans and credits did more than any
thing else to take us into the last war They
Will compound the calamity next time unless
We protect ourselves in advance from their
insidious pulling power.
The big bankers, who float the loans and
extend the credits to beligerents, are directly
involved of course. But if that were all it
would be fairly simple danger to avoid.
The danger exists. rather because most of
our farmers and city workers become involved
so quickly and inevitably When the farmer
needs market for his surplus cotton and
wheat and livestock. when the city worker
needs a job. and these markets and jobs are
provided with war orders. there is very little
chance Of public opinion refusing such an
apparently profitable and peaceful participa-
ton in the other fellows war.
Only in advance, before we invest our
money or our products or our jobs. are we
honest enough with ourselves to admit the
hard historical facts Those facts are that
such so-called peaceful participation is usually
followed by military participation to protect
our war markets and investments; and that
they can not really be protected. In the end
we lose the loans and investments, we plunge
our own taxpayers into billions of dollars of
debt. we conscript and sacrifice on the battle
field our finest youth, and we produce just
such postwar depression as the present one.

That is why it is good to learn that former
Gov. John G. Winant of New Hampshire has
been named head of the three-man board that
will administer the vast social security pro-

Gov Winants record speaks for itself His
presence at the helm means that the program
will be administered as its sponsors would
wish. And, incidentally, the fact that he is a
Republican is a reinsurance that partisan pol

With Gov. Winant are appointed Arthur J..
Altmeyer of Wisconsin and Vincent Miles of
Arkansas. The three men have a rare chance
to render public service of the highest i'm
portance.
