NO WAR CAN BE JUST

TINE editors of the Modern Monthly re-
Il Gently undertook to poll a number OF
distinguished Americans as to their attitude
in the next war. They asked these people
three questions, as follows:
What will YOU do when America goes to
war?
Will your decision be altered If Soviet
Russia is an ally of the United States in
war with Japan?
Would prospective victory by Hitler over
most of Europe move you to urge United States
participation in opposition to Germany in
order to prevent such catastrophe?
From the wording of these questions, 1t
seems clear that large part of the pacifist
strength in America today has definite Com
munist leanngs; that the editors of the mag
azne, in other words. felt it likely that some
of our peace-at-any- price spokesman might
sing different tune if confronted with war
in which the survival of either Communism
or Fascism were involved.
One of the most interesting answers re-
ceived came from Archibald MacLeish, the
poet. He made the point that the moment
pacifst admits he might support "just"
Wal, lie CSdSoo w NC O PoNAAAoCB AOAS AAS POAAAVS
out:
IF enough people believe that certain
type Of war might be justifiable, then the War
Department will see that they get that kind of
warm print. The kind of war they have
gotten in fact they will discover for themselves
some years afterward"
And SD, he concludes:
There is only one possible position against
the menace Of militarism: absolute hostility.
Any other is romantic. Any other supplies the
forces desiring war with the means of secur-
ing it."
good deal Of rather loose talk has been
INDUCED in about pacihsm in this country
during recent years. Much of it represents
very real and sincere determination to have
nothing more to do with war; but some of it.
as this QUESTIONABLE suggests, is not so much
based on opposition to war itself as on oppo-
Sition to certain kinds of war;
And as Mr.. MacLeish points out. that kind
of opposition puts no real obstacle in the path
of war. 1t simply lays every one involved open
to a flood of propaganda.
The uncompromising pacifst is at least
, logical The man who says he would support
a war under certain conditions will probably
be found whooping 1t up for the next war that
comes along. no matter why it is fought or
with whom

ROOSEVELT OR WORSE"

ITO those who yearn for the old order and
curse the radicalism of Roosevelt we recon-
mend a reading of the declarations of that
Third Party organiza ton which met in Chicago
our thought being that a reality should be
faced.
Like it or not, the only leadership back to
the old order yet in sight is the Republican
party which was suddenly taken moribund in
1892 an6 is now in a visible state of rigor
mortis.
That being the situation the trend for 1886
gives every evidence Of being Roosevelt or
worse. SO far as those who hope for the good
old days are concerned. Hence the suggested
contrast of what is going on now under Roose-
welt and what might come to pass If the Third
tAmertcan Commonwealth Federation) party
should be the other alternative. From that
partys list of recommendations:
Unlimited production for use of the en-
ployed
High wages to all who work and the union
scale for the unemployed as opposed to the
dole.
Moratorium legislation for farm and city
real property owners
Immediate payment Of the soldiers bonus.
Immediate public ownership and operation
of public resources, utilities. mines. munition
plants and basic industries.
Unified Federal ownership and operation Of
the banking system.
constitutional amendment declaring that
Congress shall have the power to make all laws
necessary to provide for the general welfare.
1t should be especially noted that two Of
those recommendations, the first and the last,
would cneck out both the profit motive and
the Supreme Court Two policies which should
cause such shivers up and down the spine Of
the old order as to make even the bosom of
Roosevelt seem haven Of rest and of warmth.

SOCIETY'S PLAYHOUSE?

TT is probably a good thing for the cause
of art that Congress has voted a Federal
incorporation for a national theater. This
organization, a private institution dedicated
to art for arts sake" viii strive to present
drama Of the highest type and to stir up new
interest in the theatec among the public
generally.
Such aims are Of type that no one can
fail to commend; yet it is with faint feeling
of misgiving that one reads that the incorpo~
rators are-to quote United Press dispatch
As social leaders"
II a national theater enlists the aid Of
working dramatists, producers and actors. it
can be an excellent thing. If. however. 1t mere
ly serves as an excuse for making hand
full of social leaders think that they are being
useful and artistic. 1t can be pretty dismal
1t is to be hoped that this latter pitfan viii be
avoided.

Of the imports we're due to direct and indirect

been raging over these islands. The ro~ is
between factions in the islands and factions liz

lesser fry, some of them outs" some Of them

noses at each other and calling each other
liars. And so forth and so on.
This great nation owes it to the $4,000 poor
people of the islands who went with the

122 100000 people Of the United States. to

The Book World

A USEFUL contribution to the volumes con-
! n corning the policy Of America in the west
ern Pacific Is Wa: Clouds IN the SKIES OF the
Far East" by Tom Ireland putnam. S2Io).
The book offers complete and painstaking
review of recent developments IN the Far East
and suggests that America has precisely TWO
alternatives.
First. Mr.. ireland says, we can continue to
oppose Japan's policy in Manchuria and emma.
That, he says, means war; so II we lnteno TO
pursue that course we might as well start right
now in building up the Navy.
Secondly, he continues, we can take moder-
ate policy let Japan shape her own pohcy ana
thereby lead to a naval reduction agreement.
The way things stand he points out, we are
irving to do both things at one time and he
describes our attitude as one OF Small-mlnoed
neddling There seems to be good deal OF
sense in his plea that ''as long as the yellow man
keeps out of the white mans domain, the white
man must give the yellow man fair chance 10
work out his destiny in the yellow mans quarter
of the globe
TT was in 1541 that Coronado led his tough
4 Spanish fighting men of on one of the most
magnificent wild goose chases in history-the
quest for the gold-plated seven cities OF Cloola
He found no cities. but he did cover lou OF
territory and he wound up somewhere IN Kansas
This expedition is known to every schoolooy.
What most OF us do not realize is UnaC IL sunni
lated the exploring instinct in Spanish authorl-
ties in Mexico, so that many other expeditions
were sent up through the great plains IN sue
ceeding years and the Spanish flag was ultl-
mately carried clear into Nebraska
These expeditions are described in After
Coronado" by Alfred B. Thomas university OF
Oklahoma Press; $3.50. The book quotes liber-
ally from ancient Spanish documents and 1t Is
perhaps little hard for the ordinary reader to
get through; but it does present an interesting
picture Of an immense job of exploration which
most of us never so much as heard OF.
Mr. Thomas makes it clear that it was not
our American pioneers who discovered" the
great West. The Spaniards were tolerably ia
miliar with all that region before the Pilgrims
reached Plymouth Rock They saw Pixies Peak
generations before Pike came along to give 1t
his name; they traded with such tribes as the
Apaches long before our own ancestors had even
heard of them
If you are fond Of delving into unknown by
ways of history you will find this a deeply
interesting book. 1t is useful as reminder that
the American west has longer history than we
commonly realize.

FURTHER ENCOURAGEMENT

THERE is something almost pathetic about
u the way we welcome every forecast of bust
ness improvement. We have been waiting
long time for the upturn that will bring us
back to prosperity: can any one blame US If we
hail each sign Of better times?
The latest one comes from the Chamber
Of Commerce of the United States. The
Chamber is especially encouraged by the fact
that the usual midsummer slump in trade and
industry does not seem to have occurred this
year, and it predicts that generally improved
conditions may be expected before many
weeks have passed"
The fact that business continues to show
strength after five months Of legislative
threats" is seen as evidence Of the real power
Of the upward movement.
This Is one of the most encouraging Of re-
cent forecasts. Let us hope that it is a true
sign Of returning prosperity.

GOVERNMENT FINANCES

OUT of all the squabbling about the soak
~ the rich" tax projected for congressional
consideration, there should at least come forth
an excellent educational program on the gen.
eral subject of government finances.
On the other hand we have Michigan's
Senator Vandenberg declaring that the pro-
gram as the President has outlined it is in
adequate. incomplete, and pathetically super
fetal"
1t is his idea that Congress should take a
few months off to think things over and then
come back with a plan that would not only
boost the taxes on the very wealthy, but would
increase the takings from citizens of more
modest means.
On the other hand we have the well-to-do
Charles H. Sabin Jr. appearing as the mouth
piece for a group of wealthy men who feel
that the Administration should simultaneously
reduce income taxes and balance the budget,
and before any one can remark that this would
be a good trick if you could do it. they hasten
to suggest an aIl-inclusive Federal sales tax.
Just what will eventually be done with the
program, subjected as 1t will be to strong pres
sures from Numerically opposite directions. is
something for the seventh son of seventh son
to worry about. But it should at least set peo-
pie thinking about some of the fundamentals
of government finance problems.
To begin, we might reach the point Of I'M
derstanding that in any scheme of tax reform
we can't have it both ways reduction of
income taxes would be blessing, and so would
a completely balanced Federal budget, but
some of our publicists and statesmen have
been agitating for both things at the same
time, and this educational program might con-
vince them that this just naturally can't be
done.
Beyond that, however the discussion should
focus attention on the fact that one of the
greatest needs of the hour is the restoration of
order to government finances
A budget which goes unbalanced for year
or two, in country as potentially rich as the
United States, need not worry any one. A bud
get which is permitted to stay unbalanced for
year after year, while high officials evade the
subject of tax revision by relying hopefully on
business revival, is about as ominous a por-
tent as a government can face.
We seem at last to be coming to grips with
this problem. If the coming row over the adj
visibility or otherwise Of soaking the rich
arouses us to the Importance of a balanced
budget, 1t will be one of the most useful de-
velopments of the year.

CONDEMS ATTACKS ON
TIMES EDITOR

BY A Reader.
From time immemoria1 persons in
high places have been anonymously
attacked by scurrilous publications
and always the enemies have lost
caste with their colleagues and fell
low men.
Nothing is so low. depraved and
cowardly as these libelous attacks
upon the editor Of The Times pub
lished by those who fear him in the
Courthouse. They will not come
out in the open courageously as he
has done but prefer TO skulk like
dirty alley rats in dark corners.
They whisper Shiny stories in bar
rooms, they spend the county's
money to excess and then they
openly abet the circulation Of this
Dart.
1t is not a dart. 1t is a. blunted
shaft poisoned with the dirt of filthy
minds. A psychologist would say
It represented a mental condition
diseased with frantic fear.
Literature has excused many
barbed attacks because of the wit
of the attackers, but there is no
wit, no sign of intelligence, in the
Dart.
These Marion County officials
whose activities have been exposed
by The Times never have answered

FEARLESS POLITICS

"HEN cuttlehsh gets in trouble it al
ways emits cloud of inky filth in an
effort to blind its opponent, then swings out
its Shiny tentacles.
Certain types Of politicians. too. have de-
veloped defense mechanism that is a foul
phenomenon. In campaign times, such poll
tcians employ this strategy. If such a poll
tician can't whip his opponent he seeks to
destroy him. How? Simply by starting false
whispering campaign about his opponents
personal life.
1t sometimes works-more often 1t is
boomerang-because of the insidious char
acter of the campaign.
Sometimes such a politician poses as the
one true friend Of the working man, and at
other times he adopts mask of piety that
BELTS the character he is attempting to por-
tray.
It is rather strange to find the old cam
pagn ruse being used in a fight on a news
paper. Or perhaps it isn't so strange at all,
but merely the only defense such politician
knows
Honest newspapers can't be bluffed and
driven into woodshed skunk fights by perfectly
ridiculous and absurd epithets. But filth. of
course. is all some politicians know and their
only resort when their activities are exposed.
The old campaign trick isn't going to work
this time.
Somebody is going to have to explain sooner
or later the accommodating evidence Of mall
administration against the Criminal Court Of
this county. as revealed by this newspaper.
Those charges can't be answered with old
campaign advertisements or with the wheezy
stunt Of SANDER.
Sooner or later. somebody's got to be fear
less"
Isn't that what Judge Bakers campaign
advertisements said?

TWO SETS OF SIX

CPEAKING. he ssid for the Ohio Chamber
~ of Commerce, George B. Chandler en-
nghtened the House Ways and Means Com
mittee on the six major menaces that are
holding back recovery"
/ The pending tax bill. which, he said.
threatens to confscate property;
2. The destruction of representative gov
eminent by converting Congress into a rubber
stamp;
3. The entry of government into private
business on huge scale;
4. The destruction of the rights Of the
states and Capitalization of power in Wash
ington;
5. The fomenting Of hostility to our Con-
stitution and hatred of the Supreme Court;
6. The creating Of a race of mendicants,
loafers and weaklings through abuse Of relief
and sentimental social legislation.
1t sounds like a Republican list Of things
to view with alarm.
Lest we be accused Of destructive criticism,
we'll offer our own list Of six things that seem
to us to be holding back recovery"
l. Failure of government taxes to yield
enough revenue to keep its credit certain;
2. The shrinkage of mass purchasing
power;
3. The loss OF foreign markets;
4. Drought and the failure of farmers to
get high enough prices for the products they
do raise;
S. Debts that sap the vitality and blot UP
the earnings Of individuals and businesses;
g. Doubt that the government in Washing
ton has the power to complete recovery pro-
gram.
Looking back over Mr.. Chambers list, we
note that not one Of his six retarding influ-
ences existed when Mr.. Hoover was in the
White House, and We wonder why recovery did
not come then.
Which leads us to believe that maybe ours
is a better list. For all six were even more
so then than now.

AN ATROCITY STORY

THIS time the atrocity story makers are
not waiting until the war begins. They're
at 1t already.
A story from across the Atlantic says the
Italians have invented a chemical powerful
enough to burn the shoes off marching SOL
diers. photographer inadvertently trod on
ground so treated and, though an officer
yanked the unfortunate chap back at once,
he was not quick enough. The fellows shoes
had been burned to a crisp. That's the story.
The Italians. it is said, plan to use this
chemical against the barefooted Philippians in
the coming war. Inferentially it will also burn
the black soldiers feet to a crisp.
Rome has issued an indignant denial. We
are perfectly prepared to credit the denial. A
small amount of reasoning should have dis
posed Of the tale in the first place.
l. Presumably. the Italians plan to advance
into AbySSinia not retreat. How is the chem
ical to be spread over the ground behind the
African soldiers to catch them as they fall
back?
2. When the italians follow up the retreat
ing Abyssinians would not the chemical act on
their feet as well?
8. The Italians employ many native troops
themselves-troops who likewise go barefoot.
Would they not suffer equally with the enemy9
Such chemical might prove effective in
static warfare. where the side using it had no
intention to advance and wanted to keep the
enemy likewise at distance. no-mans-land
could thus be created, deadly alike to both
sides.
But that kind Of warfare IS the last thing
q Duce seems to have In mind.
