. A SOLEMN COVENANT

THE public is growing confused and dis
couraged," wrote a group Of eminent
Americans to President Roosevelt, urging i'm
mediate action on the bogged-down social
security program in Congress. THE high hopes
of millions Of distressed people, raised by the
Administration in its solemn covenant with
the people should be promptly fulfilled"
Both party platforms promised security leg
islation. Last year the Administration side
tracked both the Wagner-Lewis unemploy-
ment insurance and Dill-Connery old-age pen
sion bills on the promise Of a wen-rounded
program Of security this session. Bravely
enough President Roosevelt set forth on this
high adventure. He put a group of experts to
work last summer
on Jan. II he sent to Congress the fruit of
their months of toll, the new Wagner-Lewis-
Doughton bill. He adopted this measure as
major plank in his New Deal platform, warned
Of the dreadful consequences of economic in
security" pointed to the A Legislatures then
meeting and the need Of guiding them in en-
acting cooperating laws, and insisted that
this legislation should be brought forward with
a minimum Of delay"
Instead OF a minimum there has been
maximum of delay. Through eight precious
weeks the House Ways and Means Committee
tinkered with the measure. When finally it
was ready for the floor the Democratic leaders
quietly shunted it aside in favor of the inf1a-
tionary Patman bonus bill. The revamped bill,
approved by the President, still is unreported.
In the meantime bewildered state Legisla-
lures waited Twelve have now adjourned.
Several have blindly passed state security laws
contingent upon expected Federal action.
Delays have dangerous ends. The dilatory
tactics Of House leaders invite hawkers of half
baked security schemes to do their political
worst Witness the popular recall of an oregon
assemblyman who refused to indorse the Town
send plan, the favorable report by House
committee on the extreme Lundeen bill, and
the House move to scrap unemployment insur-
ance and drive for old-age pensions only.
If it allows further Crif1ing with this pro-
gram the Administration will court serious
political adversely.

Looking at America
By GEN. HUGE 5. johnson

NKMULGEE. Okla, March 3O-This Euro
~ pean shindy is no joke. France took a
persuasive position at the peace conference. 1t
was that not single French generation in CEN
turtles had ESCAPED the horror Of German in
vasion.
She insisted that the war to end wars should
leave her secure from that She made several
suggestions that would have kept Germany help
less But her exaggerated economic demands,
added to these military proposals, would have
made France too strong and Germany too weak.
The conference would not concede them.
France repressed German armament Great
ed formidable frontier Notifications and pre-
pared the most powerful army on the globe.
Thus she has lived for nearly 20 years in armed
security. But the thing which Hitler now de-
mands would blow her security away in a
breath. There is much to be said on the Ger
man side. The peace terms were impossible
The armistice promises were not fulfilled and
Germany was still able to fight. The remaking
of the map of Europe was mess But We are
considering here not equities but facts.
1t is hard for us, behind our barriers Of sea-
water to understand the viewpoint Of a nation
like France. She has lived for centuries under
threat and has seen that threat descend time
after time. The German demands present to
France an immediate decision Of the greatest
portent.
GERMANY rearmed means war and prob
" able defeat for her within the next few
years. AS matters now stand, she could go
through Germany like hot knife through but
ter She could seize certain productive areas
and render her ancient enemy impotent. That
would greatly increase her own strength.
Her deadly question is easy victory and per-
manent security by striking now or a long period
OF costly suspense and crushing burdens of COM
petitive armament with possible defeat and
destruction few years hence.
If she had only herself to consult there would
seem to be but one choice to make. She would
march tomorrow but there is England and Italy.
The German steel industry in the hands of
France is no light concern for England. France
accessible to her northern flank is nothing for
Italy to smile away. There only remains some
sort Of alliance against Germany and the old
instability of a balance Of power.
1t is a gloomy outlook for the peace of the
world and, in the present economic prostra tion
of the globe for what we have the nerve to call
Our civilization.
Why is Hitler so bold against the great forces
which oppose himf man intimately familiar
with the German chemical industry predicted
all this to me three months ago. He said the
Germans have a new and devastating gas against
which there is no defense. These stories about
new weapons making a nation invincible never
pan out They may have new and terrible gas.
So have we. But wars are not won by magic any
more than depressions are cured that way.

war on heart balm rscketeers" in her state.
The Hoosier Legislature promptly passed her
bill outlawing breach Of promise. alienation OF
affection and seduction suits. New York fol-
lowed suit. and now the Legislatures Of "A
states are considering similar laws.
Not only is the crusade against the heart
balm banditti spreading but the Alimony Re-
form League from is New York headquarters
urges the ban be extended to include the "ali-
mony evil" This is described as a thriving
100000 0OO-a-year industry. whereas the
heart balm ladies collect a mere $1,000 900
from faithless lovers.
Strangely the movement is led by women,
opposed by men.
Many bachelors retain what might be
called Victorian ideals about protecting
womanhood" explains Mrs Nicholson.
Women. on the other hand, have deep dis
gust for those Of their own sex who try to
masquerade an itching palm as an aching
heart"

around on the Atlantic coast, or for
that matter, on the Pacific coast,
why not? They seem to think it
might hurt Japan's feelings-she or
someone else might misunderstood.
If the shoe doesn't fit, who is going
to wear it? Certainly no honest In
dianapoliS citizen feels insulted
when he sees a big police officer
swinging along toward him, but if
he has a stolen hen squawking un-
der his coat tails, he might feel a
little offended and think the public
protector showed poor taste.
AS for using taxpayers money to
build up coast defenses, this gov
eminent is responsible for millions
Of defenseless women and children
and elderly people. 1t is the duty Of
this government to protect them by
its various departments, from lust
and crime, from all sources. World
conditions make coast defenses as
important, surely, as city police.
The rather popular idea that if
banks left their vaults unlocked,
they would not be robbed, and that
if police stopped carrying guns, So
ciety would not have any enemies, is
just as true as that an unprotected
country means peace and safety for
her children.

But for worth, they're worth q

Come with me-

And the praise the owner sings,
But they're not the homes Of kings.
Come with me.
Oh friend If king you'd really be,

1t might be pointed out that John
Carroll, the first bishop of the See
over which Archbishop Curley now
rules and also the first bishop in the
United States, was called upon to
serve as a member of a delegation
sent to Canada on a political err
rand. Bishop England of Charles
ton frequently spoke before the
Senate, yet the ecclesiastical &C
tivities of these men suffered not a
bit as the result, in fact such men
as Carroll and England were the
backbone of the early church in the
United States. The clergy has been
frequently forced to assert itself in
matters political for the sake of re-
ligious tolerance.
No clear-thinking Catholic could
resent reasonable controversy be-
tween the press and the clergy con-
corning statements made by the lat
ter as citizen, but in rebuttal, The
Times has avoided logical argu-
mentS and has resorted to degrad-
ing cartoons and caricatures of Fa-
Their Coughlin clad in his priestly
garb.
The press certainly doesn't leave
politics to the politician, nor does
any public spirited citizen. When
this is done the taxpayer pays
through the nose for the graft that
is bound to ensue.

NAME OF SECOND MAN
IN STORY is SOUGHT.

BY X. e. 5.
1 don't suppose you will want to
publish this open criticism of your
paper, but I'll take a chance.
I noticed on the front page of
Wednesdays Times you gave an ac-
count of a local attorney having
beaten up his eX-Sweetheart, and
you gave the name of the attorney
and that of the girl. However, you
refrained from giving the name of
the gay Romeo who, despite re-
peated threats from the attorney,
continued to seek the girls COM
pany. Now it seems to me that some
newspaper reporter is getting har-
dening Of the arteries and not do
ing his job properly or else the
man without the cut on his head
who caused all the rumpus is So
called estirlable politician or racke-
teer with too much good old pull
to have his fair name brandished
across the front page.
In every sense Of the word I think
it was pretty rotten to give the girls
name in an attack of this kind when
she merely had been unfortunate
enough to have known man who
remains a natural.
However, since the beans have
been partially spilled and we are
all romanticists, Notwithstanding our
economic mindedneSS, we'd like to
know the name CT the Lochinvar
who dared all to see his lady love.
Maybe it's the prosaic boy next door
we have found so boresome. You
know. We'd like to know, too.

TAX COOPERATION

TINE pink slips filed with the income tax
i returns are destined for the Internal
Revenue Bureaus wastebaskets. But out OF
this fight should come at least one needed
reform-co-operation between the taxing
agencies of the Federal and state and local
governments.
Federal income tax returns contain in
formation not otherwise available to state and
local tax assessors and collectors. The CoStigan
amendment to the pink slip repeal bill would
open those returns to examination by accred-
tied state and local tax representatives.
This is an obviously statesmanlike pro-
vision. Yet Senate leaders accepted it with
reluctance and do not seem inclined to fight
for it in conference with the House.
With the Federal government lending and
giving away billions of dollars to state and
local governments whose treasures are empty,
any effort calculated to help those subordinate
units to increase their own revenues would
seem advisable. If for no other reason, the
Federal government should be moved by a
selfish interest in collecting loans and cut
ting down grants to local units. Citizens who
are hiding incomes and intangible properties
from local and state assessors are not entitled
to Federal protection.
The CoStigan amendment provides an OPP
portunity TO translate into action some of
operation and more uniform taxing systems.

TIMES EM-ROE SHOOTING
SCHOOL is PRAISED

BY Cecil F. Scott.
I wish to express my appreciation
for the opportunity offered by The
Times-Em-Ro Shooting School. /,
like most people who were taught
to use a gun in childhood, was quite
egotistical, and it was through the
patience of Mr.. Adams, the inStruc-
tor, that I was shown where I was
wrong.
I am sorry I did not attend this
school sooner and regret very much
that it is nearing its closing day.
In observing the people who came
for instructions I found them, for
the most part, all like myself. They
seemed to think there was nothing
to it. After a few careful and Sc
lected instructions on safety ard
form Mr.. Adams made his school
one of art.
Daily we read Of bankers and
peace officers learning to shoot to
protect the public against bandits,
but this is the first time, to my
knowledge, that any one has taken
an interest in teaching the public
how to protect itself against
the many casualties resulting from
ignorance during the hunting sea-
son.
hope the public attends the
shoot this afternoon so that it can
appreciate the good work the school
has done.

ANOTHER TARGET NEEDED

CENATOR LONG and Father Coughlin will
~ have to find new target. Their charge
that Gen. Hugh johnson is "Baruchs hired
man. doesn't sound like a very harsh indict-
ment in light of Bernard Baruchs performance
before the Senate Munitions Investigating
Committee.
Mr.. Baruch proved to the originally hostile
committee that he made no profits out Of
the last war, that to the contrary he sacri-
feed portion of his fortune to associate
himself from profitable industries during his
service on the War Industries Board.
He opened up his income tax records and
asked the fault finders to do their worst. He
offered to answer the most personal questions
regarding his income and his fortune and his
conduct as a wartime public servant. Neither
Senator Long nor any other accuser appeared
to charge a single discreditable act
Mr.. Baruch told the committee that he
favored drastic pay as you fight" taxes, and
he offered to go as far as any member of the
committee" in working out plan to take the
profits out Of war.
He told the committee that he owned
seven million dollars worth of government
bonds. but that he favored removing tax
exemptions to bring about "a fairer tax sys-
TEN" Re told the committee that Congress
should take steps to keep out Of future wars
BY redefning American neutrality rights.
IhoSe who have INDUCED in so much loose
talk about Mr.. Baruch have YET to prove their

CURLEY EDITORIAL
By Affiliated.

BY Agitated.
After reading your editorial COM
ment of March q on the recent ut
terances of Archbishop Curley of
Baltimore, one can hardly help from
thinking that you know not where
of you speak
You aver that in a previous era
the clergy were content to leave
politics to the politicians. The in
depreciation Of this statement de-
ponds on your definition Of politics.
If you consider the present activi-
ties Of Father Coughlin and Arch
bishop Curley as delving into poll
tics, then your statement is without
any semblance Of truth.
From thes earliest days Of the
church in this country the clergy
have been active along these lines.

Times Editorial Raped

One likes to remember and will
appreciate always your excellent
work in behalf of the Jews in
Germany. The Hitler persecu-
tions merited and received unlim-
tied publicity. Headlines on the
front pages, editorials of condem-
nation, mass meetings. boycotts
and a Democratic Senator, the
mouthpiece Of the President,
arose in the Senate and de-
nounced the persecution of the
Jews in Germany. Was this in
reference in a German church
fight? Why the secrecy about
conditions in Mexico?
II by their deeds we brand tt
Hitler government barbaric, tyran-
nical and enemies Of freedom, why
not brand the Cardenias gov
eminent who are guilty Of SINH
lar crimes with the same iron?
Aren't Catholics in Mexico hu-
man and entitled to the God-given
rights we demand that Germany
give the Jews? If you condemn
Curley, the Archbishop of Balti-
more, for speaking in defense Of
a prosecuted and voiceless people,
why not condemn Faulhaber,
Archbishop of Munich, for his
speeches against the Hitler atroci-
ties?
The rub? Is this a yelled threat?
Last week former President Hoo
yer and Col. Roosevelt attacked
President Roosevelt. They have
millions of followers-will the rub
affect them? Perhaps you in
tended to infer that Catholics 81
lence their hierarchy, stifle truth
and, like groundhogs, crawl in
hole.
Your ending is mirth- provoking.
Leave politics to the politicians.
Your past record as a champion of
honest government disproves such
a statement. I am wondering if
the office boy wrote this editorial
because it contradicts principles
know you have fought for.
