SUCCESS AND HOPES

d EP. JOHN S. MGROARTY of California.
An preparing to do legislative battle for the
Townsend old-age pension plan, is warned
by Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt that this plan is
raising false hopes. To which he replies,
somewhat caustically that the whole New Deal
program has raised a hell of a lot of false
hopes"
In this one sentence the gentleman seems
to have put his finger on the distinguishing
feature of the present era-the thing which
makes it both more encouraging and a more
potentially dangerous time than any in recent
years.
1t is an era of hope; of high hopes, some Of
them, held by people in all classes of society.
The course that our society will take in the
next generation may easily depend very largely
on the extent to which these hopes can be
satisfied.
1t is no disparagement to Mr.. Hoover to say
that the final year of his Administration was
cause of the memorable march Of events
Everything seemed to be sliding down hill.
We actually got so that we took a kind of
morbid delight in pessimistic forecasts. No
one dared look to the future with true conf
dence.
Then, for one reason or another, our men,
tai attitude changed. The greatest gain made
in the last two years has been based on that
change. We became hopeful again.
We stopped expecting everything to go to
pieces day after tomorrow, and started to
comfort ourselves with fine dreams in the old
American tradition-dreams about the great
things that were about to be done in our
country.
But if this has been a great gain, it has
also carried with it the seeds of great risk.
When many hopes are aroused, it is inevita-
BILE that some of them must be false ones. Not
everything can be set right overnight.
Not all the schemes for self betterment can
be sound. Some one has to be disappointed.
And in this inevitable establishment lies
danger. The greatest responsibility that lies
upon the Administration today is to see that
there is as little establishment as possible;
to fulfill. wholly or in part, many of the new
hopes as may be humanity attainable.
Which is jusG another way of saying that
the Government now as never before, must
be responsive to the desires Of the people. It's
success or failure will be judged eventually,
by the percentage Of these hopes that it has
peen able to satisfy.

for closed minds as If some questions were
so dangerous that even to examine them from
an unbiased viewpoint were to court grave
danger.
The universities and colleges, as focal
points Of speculation and research" says Presi-
dent Conant, ARE the subject Of hostile crit
icism, and in at least one country have suf-
fered devastating prosecution. Mans restless
spirit of inquiry has always been disconcerting
picture Of the universe"
Now all this may seem rather remote and
academic, to those of us whose daily routine
is conducted far from the campus. But 1t
is worth remembering that it is precisely this
faith in mans creative intelligence-this faith
which animates every college and university
worthy of the name-which is the foundation
stone of the democratic theory.
In other words, We live under a democracy
for exactly the same reason that men like
President Conant devote their lives to schol-
arly research: Because we believe that the
race has the brains to find a way out of its
troubles and the collective good will to follow
such way once it has found it,
This viewpoint is not popular in the world
today. In nation after nation, men have
abandoned this faith and have asked to be
led by some autocratic power which will make
all decisions for them.
Some of them have even proclaimed jul
bilantly that democracy is an out-of- date con-
cept, and that only the authoritarian state
can survive in the modern world.
For ourselves we still believe in freedom
freedom in government, in academic re-
search, and in all other forms of social &C
tivity. We hold that belief because we still
have confidence in the power of human in
telligence.

HOPE FOR MOONEY

The high court denied MONEYS motion to

that, if Mooney was convicted 10 years ago by

idation."
He added that California courts had never
been appealed to in this case under the due
process clause. If perjury, whether known by
the state before or after the trial. sent Tom
Mooney 10 Jail then he was denied due process
under the Constitution. The state courts
should determine this fact and then act
upon the state court, equally with the
courts of the Union, rests the obligation to
guard and enforce every right secured by the
Constitution" said the chief justice.
Here, it would seem, is a mandate from the
to give belated justice to this wronged man.

COMPARE THE COSTS

THE United States Treasury Department
announces that it cost the United States
just little more than SAL ,OOO,OOO,oOO to fight
in the World War. This includes everything
direct war expenditures payments to veterans,
interest on war debt obligations. and settle
ment of assorted war claims.
That makes a pretty tidy little sum, any
way you look at it. The JOY of contemplating
it may be leSsened slightly by the reflection
that we didn't get our moneys worth out of
it; but anyhow. there it is. Al billions in hard
cash as the price of our overseas venture.
1t didn't break us. We've been paying it
of steadily. Our credit never cracked under
the strain. And since that is true shouldn't
we be able to pay the seven or eight billions
required tc find way out Of the depression?
If the war was worth IL billions, isn't recovery
worth a sixth Of that sum?

Gent to accomplish the Presidents announced
objective of providing Jobs for all employables.
A vast majority Of the American people
have implicit confidence in Mr.. Roosevelt
They applaud the purposes of his program and
follow his vigorous leadership.
But the Supreme Court decision in the re-
cent hot oil case points warning and shows
the unwisdom Of attempting the broad grant
of power to the President proposed in this BILL
The bill amounts to a blank check for the
President with no congressional directions.
We believe that. in The interest of speed
the greatest possible flexibility consistent with
safety should be allowed, and that the tedious
and costly pork-barreling should be elimi
mated. But this can be done and Congress
still specify the definite policies and rules as
to how the money is TO be spent.

shut off amendments in the House may prove
very costly if it prevents correction of posi-
BILE mistakes in the bill which may later be
attacked successfully IN the courts.
IF Congress puts a reasonable limit on how
this money is to be spent, and provides for
adequate audits, it will protect not only itself,
but also the President.

BONUS PAYMENT SEEN
AS BUSINESS AID

BY Reader.
Times are hard and all that and
the President is doing his duty, ]
suppose, but at the same time the
World War veteran seems to get
it on all sides. It seems to me
that every time anything comes up
that would benefit the veteran, it
is torn down. Instead of pulling
him out Of the hole, they push him.
Why not have little sympathy for
the man who risked his life in war
to save his nation and the people
therein who got rich while he
fought in the muddy trenches and
exposed himself in all kinds of
weather to do duty for us who
never went.
suggest that all veterans get
pensions who are in need and are
now living off the county. If they
get their pensions back they will be
taken off the relief roll and the
money that they have used on the
relief can go to some o1e else.
This would be a saving to the
government if every soldier would
get his pension, and there are
plenty of them on the relief rolls
now. Look at the savings if all
these were taken off the relief roll.
The pension would do them and
every one else more good. 1t would
be put in circulation. This would
be one great economy act and would
help The soldier who really is in
need and also be no burden on the
government relief fund.
