SUBSTITUTES FOR WAR

THAT silvery airplane that went out over
the Pacific the other day to blaze trial
to the Far East may have carried with it a
good part Of the answer to that puzzling ques-
ton. How shall We find a substitute for war?
Whatever else war may be- it is at least.
in its superficial stages, at any rate-exciting
The nations greeted the outbreak in 1914 with
cheers, because life had grown TOO settled, too
unexciting, too fixed in a sheltered routine
And as long as that condition persists war can
not be abolished
This fight to the Orient brings us back to
an earlier stage in human history. 1t is
venture in pioneering and exploration in day
when pioneers and explorers are apt to find
time hanging heavy on their hands
1t is reminder that the world still contains
chances for daring men to try new paths and
risk their lives.
And when all is said and done, there is
something about the human race which makes
it need such chances Tery badly.
The whole growth OF civilization is simply
the story Of our efforts to make life more secure
and orderly; but because there is this thirst
ing for adventure and long chances embedded
IN human nature, we no sooner increase secur-
ity and order than we begin to grow bored.
We have tanned the wild West for instance,
polced those lawless towns which once were
at the mercy of the two-gun men, and made
life as safe along the Mexican border as it is
anywhere else. But having done so, we look
back on the old days with wistful regret
We make movies about them and write
books about them, and most of us retain in our
hearts more than trace of that le-boy
longing to get back to them.
Because that feeling persists-t is illogical,
but perfectly natural-it is an easy job to pull
us into war.
War restores this lost state of insecurity
and excitement 1t compels men to take long
risks and get up against the old fundamentals
of danger and death; and just at first before
We have had real taste of it, we welcome it,
for the simple reason that it provides break
IN the prosaic routine of peace.
What we are getting out in the Pacific is
a return to the day Of great ventures and high
romance 1t is impossible to read of these at
tempts to chart an air. line to China without
realizing that this is exploration and adven-
ture on a truly grand scale.
This Pan-American Clipper is a direct
descendant of brakes Golden Hind-in an
age which supposed it had left that sort of
thing forever behind it.
} If we can get enough Of this sort of thing
into modern life we can make peace time lose
its old aura of drabness and dizziness. And if
we can do that, we shall no longer be easy

undersell our own. This is its rem
edy for the unemployed. Not wait
ing for this remedy to take effect,
it would stop government spending
and let insecure business and prop
critics of the middle class pay the
full penalty of an orgy of stock
market gambling such as the world
never has before seen. 1t would re-
sumo the process Of dehation be-
cause it knows that the great wealth
it represents would emerge with
gilt-edged properties foreclosed upon
at a fraction of their value.
They want to keep the middle
class curled up, stiff and numb with
manufactured fear in order that
the bill for government spending
will not be paid by taxes on excess
profits and great incomes, but in
stead by taxes on the poor. And so
we see canned editorials in our local
papers headlined with Business

1t would seem that the best thing
to do, in view of the fact that a
third ticket would play right into the
Old Guards hand, would be to
adopt Father Coughlin's suggestion,
keep your eyes on your Congress-
men, support those who move for
ward with the President; bury the
ones who don't. Then, if We get an
Old Guard President, even though
the Congress can't move forward
against a veto, at least it can't go
back.

MIR. PELLEY PROPOSES

DRESIDENT JOHN j. PELLEY OF the AS
4 ISOLATION of American Railroads has pro-
posed a three-point program under which,
given a return to prosperity, the railways
"again will give a good account Of them
selves"
He urges the government to withdraw all
subsidies from other forms of transportation
and regulate them as it does the railroads; to
oppose all legislation increasing rail costs; to
end the services Of Transportation Co-ordina-
tor Eastman.
Isn't some of this bit naive? Who does
not remember the gigantic subsidies in farm,
oil. timber and other lands the government
handed the pioneering railroads? 1t is fair
to demand equal regulation of competing car
riers, as President Roosevelt proposes. But
rail owners should not appear so shocked at
government help for the younger pioneers in
competing transportation.
Railroads now can not shoulder new costs,
but when they save money through consolida-
lions they can help take care of workers dis
placed in the process. Under the Roosevelt
Eastman plan now before Congress, the rail-
roads would care for these displaced workers
during period of adjustment by old-age pen
sions, unemployment insurance and dismis-
sal compensation. The alternative is to throw
many rail workers families on relief
For the railroads to spurn the governments
helping hand in coordination plans, after
years of unsuccessful attempts without such
help, is folly That would invite more chaos,
wasteful Implications cut-throat competition.
But it may be possible under the Eastman
government-help plan for the railroads again
to give a good account of themselves"

would have predicted victory in Turkey in
side Of one generation.
But the world does move, and it sometimes
has way of moving a great deal faster than
any one dares to predict The fact is SYM
bolized by this convention in Turkeys one
time harem and in it there is spoonful or two
of hope for a discouraged world.
Just now such things as democracy, lib
erty and peace look to be in very bad way.
They have been taking their knocks ever since
1914, and it sometimes looks as if one wallop
would finish all three for keeps.
But human history is an incalculable thing,
and it can move in most unexpected ways to
confound the pessinists After all, the past
generation has turned the palace Of the Rus
sian car into workers museum, and the
seraglio Of the Turkish sultan into a conven-
ton hall for feminists.
Is one being altogether too hopeful to sus-
pect that the next generation may bring equally
surprising changes?
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-04-22
THE WORLD MOVES ON

THE fact that an international equal-rights-
for-wonlen conference is being held in the
former harem of the sultans of Turkey is the
sort of thing that leads to wisecracks.
Women from AZ countries have convened
at the Yildz Palace in Istanbul. Istanbul
used to be Constantinople and the Yildiz
Palace used to be the seraglio in which the
sultan's girl friends were kept under lock and
key; to locate a feminist conference there, of
all places on earth, is about equal to converting
a disarmament conference in one Of the Krupp
factories.
But for that very reason the incident de-
serves something more In the way Of attention
than casual joke or two.
It symbolizes one way, at least, in which
the world has managed to make some very
definite progress during the last quarter GEN.
fury. 1t is probably true that modern civiliza-
ton has declined somewhat since the pre-war
decade; but in this one instance it has made
decided advance.
Suppose. for example, that we go back to
1906 or 1907. Nothing could have seemed less
likely, then. than that the fight for feminine
equality would sweep clear into the sultan's
harem at any time in the near future. Even
in England and America, the feminist was

NOT QUITE so BLOODTHIRSTY

DESPITE all the jingling of sabers in Eu-
~ rope these days. it is evident that ma
tional leaders, when pushed right to the brink
Of actual hostilities, do not want to fight.
Italy and Abyssinia began drifting toward
war several weeks ago. Troops were Modified
frontier garrisons were strengthened, war talk
filed the papers. 1t looked for time as if
a fight could not be prevented.
Now, however, it is announced that the
council Of the League Of Nations has per-
suaded the two governments to settle their
dispute over the frontier territory in Africa by
arbitration. Mussolini himself, supposed to be
about as fierce a man-eater as any dictator
alive. seems to have concluded that arbitra-
ton is cheaper than fighting.
1t is an encouraging development. 1t in
dictates that the league can still be of service
to the cause Of world peace, and it shows
that Europes statesmen are not quite as ready
to go to war as recent news dispatches had
LED us to suppose.

PASS THE APPLE PIE

A MONG the other things agitating Con-
greSs these days is an argument over the
comparative merits of the apple pies of Ore
gon and New York
1t started when. Rep William A. Ekwall
passed around some Oregon apples and assert
ed that apples from the Hood River valley are
the fastest in the world. For reply Rep
James P. Duffy of New York submitted a great
stack of pies made with New York apples and
invited his colleagues to taste and be con-
WINGED.
About all that can be said at this distance
is that the whole business is a break for the
Congressman. Apple pie is apple pie whether
it comes from Oregon New York, or some
where else, and if the argument inspires local
pride to the production of bigger and better
ones, all of us can give thanks.

BEHIND THE RACE RIOTS

4 S sidelght on the slum clearance prob
lem, consider the report turned in by the
New York Urban League on those recent race
riots in Harlem.
The league, after making a study of the
whole affair. finds that overcrowding and lack
OF recreational facilities were chiefly respon-
able for the trouble They compelled thou
sands of people to live under circumstances
which set nerves on edge and promoted Sullen
resentment; need any one be surprised that
it took only minor incident to touch off
riot?
The same moral applies to every city which
has slums which, of course, means every
American city of any size at all. Overcrowd-
ing and bad housing are the most expensive
luXuries a city can maintain.
A slum clearance program which brought
them to an end would be about as paying
proposition as the nation could easily find.

INEQUALITIES OF
WEALTH CITED

By Warren A. Benedict Jr.
The average reader who read in
the April issue of The Times of
the huge salaries paid certain eXecu-
tives, with a top of $4,000 yearly
going to an oil company executive,
probably reasoned correctly that
these excessive wages constitute an
unwarranted drain on employees, the
public and stockholders. Yet he
probably failed to realize how in
significant they are when compared
to the fortunes of some of our multi
millionaires.
Had the above mentioned oil
executive been gifted with the
longevity of Methuselah, he would
have to have started 81 years be-
fore the Declaration Of Independ-
ence at his present salary, and
earned it continuously, to have
earned the fortune of Doris Duke,
who turned not hand in acquiring
her wealth. BY like comparison, he
would have had to start in the
twelfth century to earn the reputed
wealth of Andrew Mellon.
Furthermore, the fortunes of
these two would support in at
least decency and self-respect for
one year the population of cities
the size Of Anderson, Ind, and
Louisville, KY. That such huge for
tunes are justified seems too dumb
for any one with good sense to be-
lieve. Horse sense would argue that
first every able-bodied man willing
to work should have a decent job,
then those with superior ability and
energy should be rewarded proper
tionately, but not to the eXent OF
the oil eXective. Then, were there
more than enough to go around, for
tunes, but much smaller than the
above mentioned, might be acquired.
Huey Long is trying to bring about
laws preventing such colossal in
CAPABILITIES of wealth. Yet for his
horse sense reasoning the press gen.
orally, including the so-called liberal
papers, rants and raves at him,
hunts out and magnifies his weak
nesses and shortcomings. But I'M
til such gross inequalities are
remedied, we can not hope to make
much progress.
