SHATTERED TRADITION

ONCE the first unshsven Phoenician forced
- his unwilling galley slaves to take a rickety
ship out into the perils Of TIE Mediterranean,
the sea has had a long and inhexible tradition,
the gist Of which is that the captain is always
right and that there is no greater crime than
dlsobedience.
This tradition has endured through all the
great changes that have come upon travel by
sea The galleys Of long ago gave way to square
sail, and this in turn gave way to steam and
OIL but the rule that the captain is boss and
that the man who rebels must get it in the
neck is still unbroken.
Except, it seems, beneath the Russian flag
A great many things have been turned up
side down under Communism; but the most
amazing change of all. in some way, is one
which seems to have been made in the ira
dtion Of the sea. A recent criminal trial in
Moscow sheds a surprising light on it.
Last May Soviet steamer was towing an
oil tanker across the Caspian Sea. There was
a sudden explosion aboard the tanker. followed
by fire, and the captain Of the steamer which
was doing the towing decided to save his own
cut and steamed away to safety.
Ships have been commanded by towards
before this, and the action Of the Soviet court
IN ordering this skipper shot for general pol
troonery is not exactly unprecedented. What
is decidedly unusual is the disposal Of the crew.
For the sailors on this steamer were all or
dered to Jail, on the ground that they should
have mutinied when their captain ordered
them to steam away The Russian court held
that traditions" about the infallibility Of
shippers are nonsensical
The courts idea seems to have been that
common seaman knows right from wrong just
as we'll as a captain does, and that nothing in
the way of discipline should keep him from
acting on that knowledge.
So here, at last. we get the first definite
break with the seas oldest tradition. Sailors
innumerable have been punished for mutiny,
in all ages. They have been hanged from the
yardarm, they have been logged to death in
open boats. they have been keel-hauled be-
meath the ship until death by drowning came
10 relieve their sufferings-all for questioning
the wisdom of the gold-braided genius of bridge
or quarterback.
Here is something new; an affirmation not
merely of the sailors right to mutiny, but of
his actual duty to do SO. For the first time
we find sailors being punished for failing to
mutiny Could there be a more amazing break
with the most ancient and infexible rule of
the sea?

WE WON'T FIGHT FOR OIL

TT is hardly surprising to learn that the
l. Standard Oil interests have withdrawn from
the Ethiopian oil concession. Public opinion
in the United States was so obviously and out
spokenly unfavorable that the venture would
have enjoyed little support at home; and it
swiftly became evident that the temper Of the
people was unanimously against even the
shadow of government backing for the project.
The public reaction was pretty well exempli
fed in the remark of an intelligent printer.
Well" said this man. I'VE fought the last
for j. P Morgan, and it looks as if we'll fight
the next one for Rockefeller"
When people are talking like that, they are
not in the mood to be cajoled into taking up
arms for the sanctity of oil concessions. This
concession had a short life, and none will la
ment its passing.

BETTER BRAINS THAN BEAUTY

THERE seems to be something about run
L ming a school that leads men to want to
try out freak ideas The latest stunt of this
kind comes from Rockford ILL.,, where a school
superintendent is quoted as having ruled that
applicants for jobs as schoolma' ans henceforth
must be beautiful as well as smart.
To be sure, there is something to be said
for the idea. After all, the pupils have to look
at teacher, more or less, all day long, week
after week. month after month; if she be prop
erly decorative, the monotony is doubtless
agreeably lessened.
But when you have said that, you have
said IL ALL School children are too smart to
Judge by eXternals. The bestowed school
ma'am of this writer's youth was veritable
battle-ax upon whose countenance no admirer
OF beauty would have looked twice; but she
happened to be a f1rst-rate teacher, and her
pupils appreciated the fact and prohted by it.

THE SADDEST MAN

JAMES WALDO FAWCETT recently visited
the man he described as the saddest man
in Europe" the former Kaiser Wilhelm.
Self-imprisoned from the world in a lonely
castle at Doom, this once majestic figure of
the earth is growing old, forgotten by friend
and foe. The Dutch villagers watch the
strange and silent figure in his walks and are
glad his exile brings them pennies for souvenir
postcards.
Newspaper men are welcome to quiz him,
but none may quote what he says of world
events. Only the initials w. R. I" over his
gateway give hint that inside lives a man
who once commanded the greatest army Of
modern times and who set out with it to
grind Europe under its iron heel. He differs
from Napoleon at st. Helena only in that he
could if he wished escape. But whittier?
He is living figure of history whom the
worlds verdict has pronounced guilty Of the
mass slaughter of millions Of fellow humans
in the name of glory. He does not think
himself guilty, but the judgment of humanity
is not likely to oe reversed at least in his
lifetime.
Mussolini Of Italy now setting out on an
other adventure in carnage should consider
the fate Of this sad old man Of Doom.

PRESIDENT SEEKING TO
BUILD GREAT NATION

BY ]. X.
Today I read in a certain news
paper an editorial, part of which I
quote:
mo secret has been made that
the President and his advisers have
in mind the adoption of some re-
forms plainly not in accordance
with the plan of government rati-
fed by our ancestors nearly $50
years ago. If they want to break
away from tested policies and try
something else, they are at liberty
to do so. They should, however, not
act as blind partisans. They should
give their Endorsement or oppoSi-
ton to any proposed changes as
loyal American citizens seeking the
betterment of the republic"
1t seems to me that the writer of
that editorial forgot very quickly
that the policies were tested and
acted for the betterment Of the re-
public 148 years ago. Are the Ne
groeS still slaves? Are we still in
the horse-and- buggy days?
I will quote one Of the makers of
the Constitution, Thomas Jefferson:
Il knew the men Of the preceding
age. I belonged to it. 1t deserved its
country, but was without the ex-
perience Of the present; and 40 years
Of. experience in government is worth

they to rise from the dead. AS new

animals from blocking the road
there must be rules and regulations
by which men rumble along into the
distance. So far it has been agreed
that interest and taxes Il got them
backward must be paid by corpor-
ations, or else there is no corpora
ton. Since there has been so much
"holler" about government relief it
might be good thing to amend the
traffic rules.
How would it do to require that
corporations pay a subsistence wage
to all employees SO long as the cor
porationS are allowed to exist:
whenever they can not manage to
pay bare subsistence wages they be
required to dissolve? This would
be added to taxes and interest as
touchstones of solvency. The clouds
of dust are bound to choke a fell
lows throat, so maybe a little more
dust created by this new regulation
wouldn't make much difference.

PLEADS FOR RETURN OF
JOBLESS TO WORK
Bv UNEMPLOYED

BY Unemployed
I have been reading the Message
Center and would like for you to
publish this in regard to the men
who were laid off at the Big -Four
shops in Beech Grove in July, 1884
I got laid off and have a family
of seven children. I'm still out of
work. I notice the men out there
have worked six days a week all last
winter. Still those men when you
meet them are crying hard times
and tell you they are not making
any money, but when pay day
comes, they can afford to lay off
work.
There are others working there
whose wives are holding jobs up
town.
It looks to me that work should
be divided up and give some of it, at
least 10 days month, to those who
got laid off. We are not hogs but
believe in living and let live.
We don't want tC grab all the
work. We would be satisfied with
part time. We could live and not
grumble all the time like those men
who are getting full time.
We are trying to buy our homes
and are just at the point Of losing
them because we can not keep up
our payments.
I would like to hear from some
one who knew whether we men
would ever get our jobs back again
at Beech Grove shops.
Those men who have worked
pretty steady for more than a year
why not lay them off now and call
us men back who are living on re-
lief for so long that we feel we are
entitled to a square meal same as
they are.
Some of those old men who are
working now have farms and plenty
CT money and squawk every time
they get a Gay of and just such
men as these who are trying to
grab up every dollar has made the
country what it is today.
We can not get on this relief
work. When you go and see aobut
it, they look and talk TO you like
you were wild animals. If you ask
for relief for your children, they
inquire from the time your great

DANGER FROM WITHIN

MUssOLINI can't take it. He ordered his
W. delegates to walk out of the League of
Nations Council room at Geneva when the
Ethiopian representative arose to speak. He
has not withdrawn from the League yet-he
merely refuses to hear statement of the other
side Of the case.
Il was all right as long as his spokesman
we're astounding the League meeting with his
bedtime fantasy OF the big. bad Ethiopian lamb.
But the Fascist terrorist was TOO sensitive to
listen to some Of the truth from his prospective
victim.
What has all this TO DO With us here IN
the United States? Nothing-and everything.
This is Just the kind OF thing which arouses
the resentment Of American citizens We are
an emotional lot. Our sympathies so out
quickly to the underdog especially if the
underdog is far away. Our missionary complex
IS very strong. We would still ike to save
the world for our kind Of democracy. or civili-
zation. or whatever the patriotic word Of the
moment happens to be.
Because We are SO deadly in earnest about
superiority and our mission. We often lose our
heads when our hearts are touched That of
course. is precisely how We sold the last World
War TO ourselves.
Well. NIussolni seems determined to be
another Kaiser. Already that is stirring
American resentment. Before US is the same
vista Of American emotional debauch. which
can so quickly destroy our real neutrality That
is the danger.
Let US keep our minds clear and fixed on
the sober fact. This fact is that the world is
too big for us TO run it. that We can not save
Ethiopia or the League. that any kind OF in
reference by US will leave US open to war and
disaster

the times. Each generation has a
right to choose for itself the form
of government it believes most pro-
motive for peace, happiness and
good Of mankind"
That was written in 1916. Even
then Thomas Jefferson recognized
the eventual need of changes in the
Constitution.
Does not Article V of the Con-
stitution itself legalize such changes?
Do the President and his ad-
viserS wish to discard the Consti-
tuition? No, they merely wish to
modernize the laws made for an
infant nation to meet the needs
of one fully grown. Can laws for
horse carriages meet the require
ments Of the automobile?

NeMtrality-The Wrong Kind

lead the rest of the world to be-
lieve that the United States will
fight under no circumstances"
Many leaders in America dur
ing the last war were convinced
that if the United States had not
wasted her energy in trying to
maintain her neutrality and had
thrown her lot early with the al
lies the World War would never
have approached the magnitude
that it finally did.
BY forming a united front with
England and France we could
avoid the possibility of another
World War by stopping Musso-
lini now! Use embargoes against
him and furnish Ethiopia with all
the materials of war that she
needs. Mussolini, 1 am sure, would
be forced to give up his African
venture.
Under the present neutrality
law the United States can not
sanction Italy by offering war
materials to her enemy, Ethiopia.
There are many who will shud-
der at the thought of our taking
an active part in the present so
potentially dangerous situation on
both the continent of Europe and
Africa.
If we don't jump in now and
take sides in the Italian aggression
on Ethiopia with the view to pre-
venting the inevitable war between
these two nations we can not help
eventually getting ourselves into
another world war that must re-
suit from any Italian Ethiopian
conflict.
Let's try to look it all straight
in the face.
Let's don't muddle until we have
allowed the rest of the world to
become embroiled in a war That
must eventually drag us in.

worse things in this conflict during coming
weeks and months to involve Us emotionally
and then financially and politically. No
American Army and Navy can protect US

BY Times Reader
The mandatory neutrality bill
rushed through the last few hours
of the session of Congress is sup
posed to keep us out of war, at
least immunize us until Feb. l,
when the restrictions against ship
ping arms, munitions and ma
terials of war will become discre-
tionary with the President.
If there would be a chance that
such restrictions in shipping war
supplies to belligerents could be
useful it should be at the discre-
ton of the chief executive and
not made mandatory by law.
The refusal of America under
statutory law to sell munitions or
supplies to any nation at war is
not neutrality at all, as it will re-
suit in the eventual triumph of
the stronger and better prepared
nation. We don't want the kind
of neutrality aimed at in the re-
cent bill
If the United States wants to
help maintain world peace and in
so doing keep herself out of war
she ought to forget the neutrality
idea altogether and stop existing
under the delusion that she is still
SO isolated from the rest of the
world. In the present situation
she should throw her power and
resources with England and
France in lettering Mussolini in
his obviously aggressive plan for
the unwarranted slaughter of
Ethiopia.

BELIEVES DIGNITY, RESPECT
OF FLAG NEEDED

BY Mrs. J. w. 3.
AS reader of The Times, I want
to express my thanks to the writer
of the article in your paper, in re-
gard to the lack of respect for our
American flag during the parade Of
the Legion while in our city.
How can any one be so indiffer-
ent and disrespectful to this pre-
cious heritage and what it cost to
gain? Think of the freedom we
enjoy under its protecting folds. So
say, too-"Three cheers for the
red white and blue"
One man was treated to a severe
chastisement during the Labor Day
parade in Gary, when seen by an
other to spit upon this sacred BAN
ner. demonstrating with him for
this beastly act, blows followed,
which resulted in a fractured skull
and confinement in the hospital for
the offender.
Let the fire of patriotism con-
tinually burn on the altar Of our
hearts, to remind us that we will
ever honor and support our nation
flag.
