" up against the problem which
may develop into a leading 1886
campaign iSsue-NeW Deal spending
and future taxation.
The issue Is drawn In conflicting
statements about whether new tax

Republican orators recently have
concentrated, more and more, on
the administrations spending pol
icieS. Many have already pointed
them out as the prime issue for
next years election campaign.
Administration critics, including
republicans. some democrats and
the American Liberty League. have
said tl1at continued spending on
the present scale win wreck the
treasury or result IN ~unbearable
taxes for years TO come.
In his recent budget summation,
the chef executive said the budget
was being prepared with a view

GANGSTER,S STRANGE DEATH

CHICAGO'S gangsters have done great
~ many surprising things in the last
decade; but none of them ever did anything
very much more surprising than did frankie
Rio, former body guard to AL Capone, who
confounded the expectations of everybody the
other day by dying peacefully in bed from
natural causes.
The removal from the current scene of any
gangster is good news, of course, and ordinary
heart disease may be a civic instrument just
as is the electric chair. But it is worth
noticing that Rio was one of the very few
Chicago hoodlums to depart from this life
without cooperation of machine gun or a
revolver.
Things must be getting strangely peaceful
in Chicago, when a Capone gangSter can die
in bed like any ordinary citizen!

THE NOT YET UNITED STATES

IN Washington IS meeting the Second Inter-
state Assembly called by the new Council
Of State Governments and the American Leg
iSlators Association.
Too much can not be said for this move
ment. It is a oeated attempt to incorporate
the 48 states into working partnership for
meeting problems of common concern. Its
efforts must succeed if the states are not to
forfeit to the Federal government more of
their dwindling sovereign powers.
The laws of the states conflict, their prac-
tees diverge, their policies are antagonistic,"
says the council. And besides fighting one
another the states and the Federal govern
ment continually tread on each others powers
ana privileges.
The 40 governments Of this country should
cooperate in taxation. Many states. invite
bootlegging by excessive taxes on wine and
beer. Others encroach on Federal tax sources
and in turn have their sources tapped by the
Federal government. The tax picture is a
blind chaos of catch-as -catch-can revenue
hunting.
They should establish a more uniform
system of relief, public works, social security,
ana ldDoI laws. llllA IL imperative llOW Illd6
the Federal government is leaving unemploy-
ment insurance standards largely to the
states.
They should JOIN in a united campaign
against the big interstate crime industry,
through more uniform systems of Identified
ton. reciprocal laws. preventive measures.
They should cooperate in planning con-
troll Of natural resources, in exchanging
statistics. in establishing better public per-
sonnet, in educational and health programs,
in eliminating duplicate governmental func-
tions. in many other movements for more
efficient public service.
The states should set up in Washington
permanent secretariat or council through
which they may keep their governors and leg
islators informed on Federal plans clear
model laws for each other. generally work on
a more united front
1T is not enough" says former Gov. Winant
of New Hampshire the Councils president,
for modern Jefersonians to clutch the air
and declare for states rights now and for
ever. The cold fact is that claim Of states
rights must now be justified by demonstra-
ton of states competence"

a switchboard, having no part in its trans
mission and distribution.
We believe that if one Of Twas dams, for
instance, can produce a million kilowatts of
power in providing flood control and naviga-
ton, and that if it took only one kilowatt to
lift the locks, light the power house. etc, it
would not be in the public interest, or eco
nonical, for the remainder of that power to
60 to waste, for dynamos to rust. and the
energy Of the water tumbling over the dam to
go unused.
Recent decisions OF the Supreme Court
show that great tribunal does not believe the
Constitution is a strait-jacket preventing
growth and progress. We are not afraid Of
the final decision on IVA.
IVA is perhaps the greatest single effort
Of this Administration to give the people
broader, fuller life.
To hobble Twas power program would be
against the public interest.

TRADE WITH BELGIUM

THE new trade treaty with Belgium Is an
Il other step toward re-estabhshment OF
world commerce. Although it is but short
and mincing step, United States and Belgian
diplomats deserve credit for breaking the ice
that has been choking the exchange OF goods
between this and the European continent.
Consumers of the two countries, quite as
much as the producers, will benefit Lower
tariffs granted to Belgian laces linens and
cement for example, should result in lower
prices for these products in this country
Lower Belgian tariffs on American lard, corn
starch fruits and oatmeal should result in
lover living costs for the Belgian people
Now that formula of mutual concessions
has been found which gains for our products
a better market in this one small European
country. there is more basis for hope that we
may regain freer access to the larger markets
of Germany, France and Italy.
Our farmers and automobile manufacturers
and their employees. chief American bene-
hciaries of the pact, have a great potential
stake in other European markets still hedged
about by import quotas, exchange restrictions
and prohibitive tariffs retaliating against our

RELIEF is MOST URGENT

WHATEVER is ultimately done about the
w security program in Washington
whether we get an outright dole, system of
unemployment insurance, or something else
we should not let ourselves forget that the
problem is an exceedingly pressing one.
For instance: Chicago police were obliged
to take eight hungry children under their pro-
lection after they had found the children burn
ing the furniture in their home to keep warm
The father, desperate over MS family's plight,
had committed a theft and had been put in
jail; the mother had died in a hospital from
complications over another expectant child
birth.
Grant that the heads of this family mis-
managed their affairs Somewhat-there still
remains an unbearaby tragic picture. What
ever form our relief program takes, it must
at least make repetitions of such pitiful cases
impossible.

WHY THE HEART BALM?

THE move to outlaw the heart balm"
lawsuit, initiated in Indiana by an in
telligent woman legislator, seems to be
spreading. A similar bill is pending in the
New York Legislature, and Senator McNabe,
its sponsor, says that alienation Of affection
and breach of promise suits lin many in
stances border on blackmai"
That is mild and sensible comment.
Consider, for instance, the suit recently filed
in a middle Western court by young woman
who wants 100000 from her former boss for
breach of promise
According to her suit, from 1928 to the
end of 1884, the boss promised to marry her.
At the end of 1884 he changed his mind
BY her own admission, this young woman
played along with her boss for close to six
years Any girl intelligent and self-respecting
enough to make her own way in the world
might have been expected to smell rat long
before the boss broke the bad news.
Ofhand, would you say that heavy none
tary damages are justified in such a case?

JUDGMENT Of the Presidents performance

stick used. II recovery Is the test. his achieve
ment is considerable II the criterion is basic
reform. he has accomplished less. Judged BY
both standards. the results are far short Of his
inaugural promises two years ago today, but
there remains more to his credit than that Of
any other President in this generation
Within these two years the business activity
index has risen from so to 81 per cent Of an
estimated normal The farmers purchasing
power has been materially increased. Wages
Of low-paid industrial wOrkers-though not
Of the middle and upper groups-are higher.
Hour and working conditions have improved
Child labor has Oeen greatly reduced. Relief
victims are better cared for. Industrial profits
are up. Federal credits have saved millions Of
farms and homes from foreclosure temporarily.
The dollar has been stabilized temporarily at
more equitable level. Electric power is be-
coming cheaper. Progress has been made in
regulation Of security issues and Of stock and
commodity exchanges. and banks are stronger.
But neither in banking nor most other fields
are the reforms yet sufficient to protect the
nation from future business cycles and col
lapse. Among the basic causes of this depres-
sion. which still exist, arc. Increasingly I'M
even wealth distribution which strangles the
consumers market, inadequate collective bar
gaining facilities resulting in industrial war
fare which destroys profits and wages and
markets. an unbearable debt load on farmers,
small homeowners and industrial capital. an
inefficient and expensive system of distribu-
ton which grinds the consumer; while in our
foreign relations there are continued tariff
conflicts. unsettled debts lack OF monetary

Of another World War.

THE PUBLIC INTEREST

FEDERAL JUDE w. L GRUBBS decision
l. against the Tennessee Valley Authority
is regarded as only temporary annoyance"
by Henry T. Hunt. general counsel for the
Public Works Administration.
David E. Lihenthal Tennessee Valley Au-
thority director and general counsel, likewise
is not perturbed by the adverse decision Of the
lower court.
They are anxious and willing for the
United States Supreme Court to pass on the
issues involved. confident. as are We, that IVA
VIII be upheld in the end
We are concerned with the public interest
which IVA is serving; fortunately, laws and
court decisions, some affecting the very issues
raised in the trial before Judge Grubb are
nodded by this factor.
The Tennessee Valley Authority was
created for several purposes: To improve the
navigability and provide flood control of the
Tennessee River; TO provide reforestation and
the proper use of marginal lands in the Ten
nessee Valley; TO provide for the agricultural
and industrial development Of the valley; and
to provide for national defense. To accom-
plish several Of these purposes IVA builds
dams and as a by-puoduct Of its dam building
it manufactures hydro-electric power.
1t has started the transmission and dis
tribution Of the surplus power to demonstrate
that electricity can be sold cheaply; it has
set up its yardstick electric rates by which the
rates Of private companies everywhere can be
measured.
Its power program should be continued and
broadened because it is in the public interest.
Judge Grub has held. in effect, that IVA
has a right to sell surplus power but that this
surplus has TO be small, else IVA in dis
tributing large quantities of power goes into
the utility business" He thinks it has over
stepped its legal boundaries by putting itself
into the utility business"
Apparently. if Judge Grubb's decision we're
to stand. IVA might sell drsblets Of power. at
