Tn his Sunday night radio address, the Rev
Charles E. Coughlin Denounced the New Deal for
playing into the hands of the money changers"
His language vitriolic as that used by the
same money changers" when they denounce the
Roosevelt Administration for playing into the hands
of the money magicans for whom Father Cough
lin is the most persistent prophet.
Father Coughns criticism was quite as unfair
any that has yet from the lips of the reac-
tionarIes. The latter have bitterly condemned the
President for his labor and other social reform leg
islaton, have fought him with every weapon at
their command and have accused him of being mo-
tivated not by desire to make democracy more
workable, but by an intention to deliver free people
into the clutches OF labor groups for political gain
Father Coughln expressed opposite suspicons
Because MIRA had been held unconstitutional and
because the President had sponsored other legisla-
ton which apparently will be called unconstitutional
Father COughlin said he had been led to suspect
that the labor legislation enacted by this government
was another phase of sham battle to protect plu-
tocracy at the expense OF the Supreme Courts pres
tige"
Perhaps" he said, "a wrong unconstitutional
method was chosen Intentionally to deceive the
lsborer and to tide the period of recovery with
out legisating lasting reform
Without commenting on the propriety of such
insinuatons, might observe that it is one thing
to broadcast sour personal views to audience
which can't ask embarrassing questions. And it is
quite another thing to sit in the White House and
try to reconcile the conflicting interests in nation
of 1875 million people
If pressure groups and self-elected leaders keep
on breaking away from the New Deal because they
can't get everything they want the President may
be without the support of anybody-except the
peoples

"ENGLAND'S MOST HATED MAN"

T RAMSAY MACDONALD, thrice Prime Minister
- of Great Britain, appears hopelessly crushed by
the general elections of Thursday.
Today he commented after it was all over, 4
Just tired old man"
Once the hero of Laborites, trick of fate has
caused him go down to the btterest defeat of his
career before another Laborite and to fall with the
eplthet Of traitor" ringing in his ears.
Few political careers have been more colorful.
Born in Scotland as he himself expresses it, in a
but and ben" "a one-room hut with Kitchen,
he has known what it means to go hungry. Yet his
qualities lifted him to the position Of chief adviser
to King and country and made him a familiar figure
in Engands marble halls,
From Socialist on a soap-hox he became Brit
aims first Laborite Premier in 1924 and a second
time in 1929 Then in 1881 splitting with his Labor
associates over the budget, he formed National
Cabinet" by calling in Tories and Liberals. In the
subsequent elections the country upheld his course
both Labor and Liberal parties almost we're wiped
out
Thus many of his former followers to
gard him as a traitor. But none who really know
him we'll would call him that Throughout long
and apparently inconsistent career he true at
least to his own convictions.
pacdst during the World War London news
paper described him the most hated man in Eng
land" The crew of British ship struck rather than
carry him across the North Sea to peace conference
at The Hague, Ironically he went to defeat sup
porting the Tory demand for rearmament His argu-
ment that the League of Nations vital to world
peace and the support of powerful Britain is i'm
perative if the League is to survive.
Today Mr.. Macdonald is aging. He is more than
half blind and his health is said to be falling But
one more honor is almost certain to be his King
George will probably make him peer the Laird of
Lossemouth. But the bitterness of being "nisunder-
Stood" he likely will carry with him not only to re-
tirement but to his grave.
Doubtless there have been ADLER statesmen in the
history of Britain but certainly few more sincere.
If he has reached his political end it too bad had
to come this way.

A READY WEAPON

A MONG the statements in the preamble of the
Indiana Liquor Control Act of 1885 is that it is
the intention of the act Ito prohibit forever the open
saloon" However, so much power is granted the
Excise Commissioner and his board that this prohibi
ton virtually dead far the larger centers
concerned. The law is being administered with
feMblty.
Some persons object to the apparent hypocrisy of
the act saying that if the saloon is to be permitted
in it's present form the provision should be emi
atod from the law
Others argue that long the provision is tn re
it is a weapon in the hands of the people. If the
saloon becomes fragrant the weapon be used,
should public opinion demand it.
DR.. Oman, the able president of De PAW
alluded recently to the dangers of some of the evil
dent abuses by the people of their new freedom to
drink. Those abuses shared by some customers
and dealers. One need not go far DR..
OMAN in condemnation to agree that abuses do
exist which, if not abated, may return the state to
the dry column.
For hat it seems prudent to keep the
saloon prohibition in the law 1t may be necessary
to invoke that provision.

A BRAVE INDIANA BOY

THAT was a SAD but significant story which came
out OF Monon, Ind, telling of 9-year-old boy
living in shelter of tin from lard cans in the midst
of corn field. Unhappy at home, he fed to the
outdoors and proceeded to take care of himself.
The story was significant because it illustrated
the eternal reSourcefulneSS of the very young.
Juvenile officers have charge of the boy
They will see that he is d. clothed sent to school
and protected from further cruelty. A boy with
enough courage to sleep in the fields under con-
trived protection must have good stuff in him.
Given chance he will succeed in life
AS for the conditions which deprived him of a
proper home, they, in the mass in the cities and in
rural communities. offer problem of reconstruction
which can keep Federal state and local govern
mentS busy for years

THE RACKET TRIBUTE

T EDGAR HOOVERS comments on the enormous
income revealed by the account books of slain
racketeer were distinctly to the point When single
criminal take in s6000000 in year one wonders
about the total tskings of all men living by their
wits and their ability to terrorize others
What Mr.. Hoover hopes TO do is to get enough
C-men and enough in his budget to do with rackets
what he did with kidnapping.
But the cities and states should not be impotent.
They have laws and prosecutors competent at least
to make some inroads in the racketeers. If have

privilege of doing business unmolested, it is sign
that local self-government has abdicated,

THE CHRISTMAS CLUBS

CINCE fewer banks offered Christmas savings serv-
~ than in 1884 the total to be distributed is I'M
der that Of last year But the banks giving the priv
ilege report an average increase of II per cent
This is an indication of the improvement in wage
earning and also of faith in thrift.
For time, during the depression there was a
defeatst attitude. One heard people say that it was
useless to save. They had saved and lost, They
had lost homes. bank accounts, life insurance They
said let us spend and enjoy what earn.
Many persons must have recovered from that
sorry mental condition, judging from the report of
the Christmas club distribution. They have reverted
to normal, They have faith in frugal and
honest living, with surplus in the bank and tang-
BILE property to sustain them
