Capital Capers
BY GEORGE ABELLA

1T was colorful-it was crowded and it was
i very, very hottie reception given at the
White House recently by President and Mrs
Roosevelt in honor of officials of the Treasury,
Postofice Interior Agriculture, Commerce
and Labor Departments
When one was pushing through the barrier
Of shoulders. epauletS, elbows and diamond
stomachers (yes there were two diamond stom-
acherS at the partyD, it seemed as if the whole
world had decided to shake hands with poor
Mr.. Roosevelt. Actually only 1854 persons at
tended But it was by far the biggest and
bulkiest party of the season. To dance in the
East Room was as easy as skating in market
place on fish day.
From o'clock until 1920 solid mass of
guests edged its way in phaanX formation up
the red-carpeted stairs. Aids and ushers val
iantly kept the crowd in order
Head usher Muir carefully inspected the long
lines waiting patiently in the East Room, A
new system of handling the crowd was being
given a second tryout. and still required atten-
ton from the head usher
Instead of allowing more than 1000 men and
women to crowd into one corner of the East
Room, preparatory TO their being received by
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, they were
shepherded into three double lines the length
of the long room.
Alternately, these lines were moved through
the door from the East Room to the Green
Room and thence into the Blue Room to be
received as one line disappeared, White
House attache admitted enough more men and
women to replace it.
General consensus Of opinion was that the
system was success reducing confusion crowd
ing and speeding the movement of guests.

NOT so CHEAP LABOR

A SURVEY by the United States Immigra-
4 ton Bureau reveals that out of some
$4,000 Filplnos in the Far West at least
third are eager to return to their island homes.
Before Congress are Administration-suppo
bills 10 provide passage money for their home
ward trip
Repatriation is a thrilling word. But to
most of these little islanders it will spell fail
ure and establishment. Stirred by dreams of
success in what they had been told was rich
and hospitable land, they poured into eery
Pacific port. The recent Filipino migration
made up the third great wave Of unassimiable
oriental labor to wash over the western shores.
Like the Chinese and Japanese immigrants
before them, the Filipino workers were well
come as long as they were content to fetch
and carry at jobs no white man wanted
When the Chinese coolies, brought in to
mine gold. moved INTO the California cities
there were anti-CAinese riots. When Japan
ese peasants tired Of doing casual work and
began buying farms. there were anti-Japan-
csc riots and an exclusion law. When Fill
plnOs took jobs that unemployed whites con-
sidered their own, their occurred the recent
anti-Filipino riots on the Pacific Coast.
As long as the imported Orientals did not
take too seriously American ideas of equality
they we're welcome. When they became
Americanized they were in danger of being
ganged, stoned and excluded
We appear to have made some progress in
the treatment of the strong backed men we
enticed from the Far East. Now, at least, we
propose to pay their way back at $50 a head.
Which is just another proof that so-caIled
cheap labor is never cheap.

DRUNKENNESS

CTATISTICS compiled by the Methodist
- Board of Temperance Prohibition and
Public Morals seem to indicate that intem-
perance has spread since repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
A survey of 226 cities, the board says, dis
closes a 26 per cent increase in arrests for
drunkenness in the first year of repeal COM
pared to the last year of prohibition. This
may be a true gauge Of the rise of intemper-
ate drinking among a people unaccustomed
to such liberties.
Or it may only indicate that drinkers are
trequenting public places rather than blind
pigs" and therefore are more under the scru-
tiny Of law officers. Or it may only indicate
that since repeal the police are less tolerant
Of drunkenness. Doubtless all of these factors
enter into the startling statistics which en-
phasze the truth that repeal did not solve all
Of our liquor problems
1t appears" the board says that where
hard liquors are dispensed through a state
monopoly drunkenness is not increasing so
rapidly as in the license states"
This statement may be the handwriting on
the wall for the licensed establishments. It
should warn them 10 be more strict in enforc-
ing sobriety regulations, lest they achieve the
unenviable reputation of the old saloon and
have their business taken away from them.

SLOW IN GETTING STARTED

ME housing division of the PWA, put into
operation a year and a half ago with
Sl5OOOOoOO at its disposal, has provided low
cost living quarters for just 124 families to
date
This has been done through three private
hmited-divdend corporations Stun clear
ance jobs Under way in various congested
metropolitan areas, but not one of them has
been completed. Only 50. 100000 has actually
been spent on Federal projects to date.
Contracts totaling s3,5OOOOO more have
been signed. and 81 developments which will
cost s121,5OOOOO have been approved. Work
on these. however. can't get going until June
This record is far from bright one. Re-
housing offers a great chance to stimulate
capital goods industries and also to achieve
a greatly needed social reform.
Unless it proceeds at a much faster pace,
however, it will do us very little actual good.

SYMBOL OF BOOM DAYS

JIMMY WALKER, One-time playbOy mayor
Of New York. tells a British chancery
court that he Is broke and can't pay his bills:
and that simple admission puts period on a
career which could have developed nowhere
but IN the United States during the giddy
boom Of the 1905
The dapper little man who was once the
very QuinteSsence Of Broadway painted a
sorry picture Of himself. His income, he
saws. totals Just Sos week Of which 40 per
cent goes TO a collaboration He Is living with
his wife and mother-in-law in the latters
house. and his wife paid the bills on their re-
cent trip TO spain.
Evidently something pretty drastic has
happened to Jimmy during the last few years;
ana II he ever sits down to figure 1t out. it
might be some comfort 70 him to reflect that
IL didn't really happen to him so much as to
his fellow countrymen.
For Jimmy Walker was never anything but

WORK VERSUS MONEY

L EUGENE GRACE, who drew down SO $685.
- 900 in bonuses from the Bethlehem Steel
Co. during the war years. tells the Senators
who are investigating the munitions business
that to pay an industrialist an Army officers
pay in wartime would just naturally disrupt
everything.
Greatest efficiency comes from having the
individual interested in the results of the work
he performs" he said, adding that nothing
had ever been invented that would make men
work as hard as the lure of money.
One wonders if Mr. Grace has not done
himself and other industrialists an injustice
The Army used some of our greatest indus
trialists in France during the war, giving
them the pay and emoluments of colonies and
brigadier generals. and got a tremendous
amount Of highly efficient work out of them.
1t is a fairly safe bet that it would have
got the same kind of service out Of Mr.. Grace
himself The challenge of the job itself can
be a more potent incentive than the latest of
bonuses.

A SIDE from the obvious advantages 10 the
government IN getting the rank and file
OF people TO become its bankers. the Treasurys
new baby bond" plan has many good points
as a sheer investment proposition for the citi-
zen of small means.
T,r Sl875 paid through the window of a
postohice, a citizen can purchase a bond which
he can cash in 10 years for SOS. He can buy
a $50 bond for $3.50: a 500 bond for SIS; a
$500 bond for 1919. or a $1,000 bond for $3.50.
The bonds can not be deprecated in
market value below the purchase price. as
was the case with the widely held Liberty
bonds shortly after the war. After 60 days
from the date of purchase. the bondholder
can sell the bond back to the government
for the purchase price, up to the end of the
first year, and for the purchase price plus
interest any time thereafter. a bond bought
for SIS. for example. Will be redeemed after
five years for Ss4, after eight years for s92,
or at the end Of 10 years for the maturity
value 500.
A wage Garner entering seriously into this
method Of investment saving can pay S18.75
a month through the poStoffice window and

$3.50. redeemable Immediately for more than
$500 and which have a maturity value of

A higher-salaried person investing SIS

5000 for bonds which have an immediate
redemption value of more than $4,000 and a
maturity value OF $4,000 He might then
collect 10 at the rate Of 500 month for the
next 10 years. Or If he chose. he might re-
invest SIS as each bond matured enjoy an
income of s25 a month for the rest of his life
and leave 70 his heirs an estate worth more
than $4,000
Or savings thus smassed could be con-
verified into 2 life annuity. Long before the

ged courage to push an ideal
through to practical completion?
For Mr.. Blume's information,
we have not forgotten that this
is a government OF he people, by
the people and for The people"
In fact, two years under an Ad-
ministration which actually tries
to live up to the quoted ideal has
hardly worn off the novelty.
AS for Mr.. Blume'S questions, 1
can only say that they are rather
vague. I can not see that they
refer to either principle or policy
of the New Deal
But I have a question for him.
Does he believe in allowing preGa-
tory interests to so domineer IN
this nation that they are able to
name wages, prices, utility rates,
manipulate supply and demand to
their own advantage, starve pro-
ducers and gouge consumers, un-
dermine small business men with
low prices, then shoot prices up
through monopoly, pour worthless
stock into security companies and
banks and leave Mr.. Average Citi-
zen holding the bag? That is not
a rhetorical question. Those things
happened. Does Mr.. Blume be-
lieve in allowing such liberty to
continue?
The object of the New Deal is
not RECOMMENDATION as its opponents
would like everybody to believe.
Through mechanical and econom-
ic revolution we have become de-
pendent upon each other. Rugged
individualism, once a driving force,
has now become a conflicting force
against a changed and changing
world. Realizing this. the present
Administrator is attempting to
establish in its stead the policy
of cooperative individualism.
