DROBABLY one reason Homer
i gets cussed out by his Cabinet
colleagues is because he lacks a
sense of smell. His nostrils do not
dilate. When he passes by a hid
den pile of political swill he is
more inclined to pass it by than
clean it up.
Partly this is because Homer is
too amiable. He likes every one
and they, for the most part. like
him. He not only likes them, but
he is soft-hearted about them.
Firing a man to Homer is like
pulling molar-and much more
painful.
Compare the briefs filed in the
days of Harry Daugherty's alleged
Justice Department scandals and
the days of the New Deal Ac-
cording to many lawyers, the
briefs written under Daugherty
were better.
In other words. Daugherty, de-
spite the allegations lodged aginst
him, had the sense to hire good
men.

covery will proceed at snail's

European peace moves, now
under way, are being watched
closely here because of a realiza-
ton that the advance must be

a feeling of world security that

hopes.
Into the general plan of world

problem of contraband may be
sifted.
A study of World War profits,
now in the hands of senators, re-
veals that from 1914 to 1916
American exports to Europe of
articles listed as contraband in
creased by nearly $3.O00000,000.
This meant a big boom in
Americas foreign trade with di-
rect benefits to the American
people as a whole. But, it is
pointed out, Americas insistence
on her right to such trade
brought her into the war which
was largely responsible for the
national debt increasing from a
little more than one billion dol
lars in 1914 to more than "a bill

The benefits Of such trade, it is
observed, we're therefore worse

~ said Charles Warren, AS
sistant United States Attorney
General from 1914 to 1918, there
is no reason why the United
States Government should run
the risk of becoming involved in
a war simply to preserve and pro-
tect such excessive profits.
Would it not be proper
policy for our Government to say
to p belligerent, at the outset of
war: If you regard an article as
contraband, the United States
will also regard it as contraband.
but will impose a pre-war quota
on your import trade with our

And would it not be a proper
policy for our Government to say
to our citizens in such case:
The United States will allow you
to trade IN that article to the
same extent you normally did be-
fore the war. but further trade
in it is not allowed.

an out"
The plan most favored by the
Administration would make an
mediate cash settlement with
veterans in need" which would
be equivalent to cashing in an in
sUrance policy 10 years ahead of
tims-although there are propos-
ais to pay more than the actual
1885 cash value.
ID EPUBLICAN House Leader
IN Bert Smell says this would be
like paying of all certificate hold
ers. as 30 or 90 per cent of vet
Grams in his district are in need.
Senator Pat Harrison has sug-
gested that bonus payments be
confined to veterans now on re-
lief.
Senator Steiwer (Ore) thinks
bous payments should be spread
over the next few years. Still an
other plan would throw the date
of the certificates back to 1918 in
stead of 1925 and mature them in
1895.
It's argued that this would cost
only about 81 ,2OO,OOO,OOO, as 80 per
cent of veterans have borrowed
the permitted so per cent on face
value Of their certificates.
Patman and other inf1ationists
want to pay off the certificates by
a currency issue. But Roosevelt
has set himself firmly against
that, passing the word to Congress
that it must raise taxes to cover
any bonus expenditure.

political chalr-Warmers that ever
spit tobacco juice on a closs-
roads stove.
For that reason Cummings ap-
pearanCe before the Supreme
Court is regarded with great hope
by some of his Cabinet colleagues.
They hope that this may mark
the beginning of new things in the
Justice Department.
1t has been no secret that this
department is regarded by many
as the weakest link in the New
Deal. With some of the most his
toric legislation in the nations
history coming before the Su-
preme Court, various New Deal
departments have complained
bitterly at the way Homer Cum
mings' lawyers were handling
their cases.
THIS criticism does not apply

ally. The attorney general is one
of the most popular members of
the Cabinet. He is a hard worker,
has a delicious sense of humor,
stands well with the President
ard is in step with the libe Il
sentiment of the New Deal.
Illustrative of that liberal sem
iment is an incident experienced
by Harold NJ. Stephens, ablest
assistant attorney general. Steph-
ems needed some good aids,
brought in Henry White Edger-
ton. who was dismissed from the
Cornell Law School because he
was g conscientious objector dur
ing the war-though later taken
back with apologies.
Stephens suggested to Solicitor
Gen. Biggs that Edgerton be
hired. He explained his pacifist
leanings. said he had voted for
Norman Thomas in 1892.
Biggs almost frothed, vetoed
the idea.
Stephens then went to Homer
Cummings. explained Edgerton's
background.
rs he a good lawyer" Cum
mings asked.
Stephens assured him Edgerton
was.
Then put him on"
CUMMINGS has 8 unique rec
~ ord for this " of fair
minded liberalism. 1t coupled
with it he has three aults which
have kept the Justice Department
out of 5tep with the basic aims of
New Del.
First, he Jacks a sense of smell.
Second. he is too aniable.
Third. he IS too political.
It is conpletely understandable
why a Government department
has a few deserving Democrats
planted around the landscape. but
it is another big thing to let them
be loaded in up to the gunnels.
This is vhat Homer let his
friend Jim do to him. Homer is
not only an easv-going giver-
inner to jim Farley. re is some
thing of a politician in his own
behalf. If Democrat bears the

MEANWHILE, about the time
Iva the committee is delving into
profits and secret tactics of the
shipbuilding companies, Congress
will be asked to vote further large
profits to those companies for the
anticipated naval race with Japan.
Unless by some miracle the ne
gotiations for a renewal of the old
5-5-3 Washington Treaty come to
life again, the Administration is
expected to act for the building o.
78 additional men-of-war which
the Navy says are necessary if it is
to come up to treaty strength.
That means one aircraft carrier,
two light cruisers, 81 destroyers
and "a submarines. After that, the
real naval race, in which we have
threatened to build five ships TO
Japan's three, no matter how
many she builds, presumably will
begin.
But there's some hope here that
building up our Navy to treaty
strength will have the effect Of
discouraging the bellicose japanese
