MAIL SUBSIDY
ABUSES Barred
BY ROOSEVELT.
President Urges Banning of
'SUbterfuge' by Direct
Grant.
BY ROBERT W HORTON
Tines Special Writer

WASHINGTON. March s.
Operators OF the American Mer-
chant Marine stood charged today
with major abuses Of the mail sub
sidy system which has kept their
ships on the seas.
A report from Postmaster Cen
eral James A. Farley. submitted 70
Congress BIZ President Roosevelt
revealed that the S28.35O.0O0 annual
expenditure called for in present
ocean mail contracts exceeds all
the combined annual wages. sub
SistenCe. maintenance and repair
costs Of the operators Of all the
American flag vessels on ocean mail
routes.
The government. said the Farley
report. paid out slI9257.756 in such
subsidies between 1928 and last June
30. Had the mail been carried al
poundage rates. the report said. the
cost would have been only SIS 500 900
President Roosevelt recommended
n Congress yesterday that the sub
terfuge' OF excessive mail pay be
supplanted by a direct subsidy.
Ineficiency Charged
The Postmaster General disclosed
that the governments investment
in snip operation through the ex-
isting subsidy plan was slightly
more than sll2,5OO,OOO as against an
investment of $40. 900 by stock
holders in the companies concerned.
He voiced an opinion that the
ship owners should not only con-
tribute a considerable portion Of
their own means, which they have
not done except from funds deri~ %
from their government operati
but they should also be required c
deal fairly with the government end
efficiently operate their businesses. %
He explained that the govern
ment can not hope to receive the
full measure OF benefit from its
benefit from its expenditures If
those who receive government aid
in the form Of mail contracts, or
otherwise. are permitted TO operate
in an extravagant manner and pay
ImcOnSciOnable dividends; and 10
organize subsidiary companies. such
as machine shops. agencies or other
companies. which are permitted to
make exorbitant profits and, in
cidentally. stifle independent shops
and firms: or to own or in turn TO
be owned, wholly or in any sub
stantial part. by holding companies
that have exorbitant expenses"
Navy Outlines Needed
The capital subsidy recomm ended
by the President would. under his
plan, be extended to take care of
difTeTentials between domestic and
foreign cost of construction of
vessels in foreign trade and to take
care Of the cost OK such special
features as may be REQUIRED by the

The Navy seeks. in ihe merchant
marine, an auxiliary force for war
purposes. With the Presidents
recommendations we're submitted

ger vessels of Is knots: "a cargo

mark went on falling and he even
tually discovered that he had not COM
pletely understood the great game
and was only an unsuccessful inf1a-
zionist profiteer. His daughter Esther
went to the university and finally took
her medical degree and became as

fall of the republic, the growing
power of Naziism and the Hitler die
tatorship Germany was no longer
a promised land for Jews. Russia
had become safer. Meanwhile Esther
had complicated her affairs by va
garies of passion. She thought she
loved Lieut.. Rosenberg, a Jew, whom
she married; was sure she loved the
pacifst professor Graber, whom she
gave up because of regard for his
career, which would not have stood
the scandal Of divorce. The whole
story has a confused, nightmare quail
ity, which Is perhaps only too like
the reality. Rosenberg was murdered
in his own home by a party Of storm
troopers; Mendel and Esther and her
boy escaped across the frontier into

France SHES at IN. R. A."

When M. Pierre Etienne Flandin,
premier of France, was looking few
months ago for an issue capable of
bolstering the fortunes of his new
government he conceived the idea Of
giving the republic dose of N. r. A,
American model. He had been in the
United States not long before sue
ceeding to the premiership, had Wis
tied at Hyde Park and been initiated
into some Of the mysteries Of the
New Deal by its supreme head. To-
ward the end of last year M. Flandin
publicly announced in Paris that he
proposed to introduce into French
industry the code-control system de-
vised in this country under Mr.. Roose-
velt's leadership.
The French have not reacted favor
ably to the suggestion. Business has
materially receded, according to the
Bank of Frances report for January
81, and the minister of labor told the
Chamber on Friday that the unemploy-
ment total is approaching 100000.
apparently a figure that arouses ap-
prehension. The failure of finance,
commerce and industry to respond to
the idea of a French N. r. A. system
is now having political repercussions.
The Flandin ministry fears that its
foundations are sapped. The Bourse.

Admiral Grayson's Appointment.


President Roosevelt, prompted by
adequate mother wit" and common
sense, has appointed Rear Admiral
Cary T. Grayson executive head of
the American Red Cross in success
sion to the late Judge John Barton
Payne. Perhaps he acted on the
theory that only busy people can be
relied upon to "do things"-the others
simply haven't time"
In any case, the selection is one
which will be applauded. No better
man was available. Indeed, 1t might
be said with ample truth that Admiral
Grayson's whole career has been a
training for the work he now Is to
do. He had the best OF medical
education at the University of the
South, the Medical College of Vir-
ginia and the Naval Medical School,
practiced at Columbia, Emergency and
Providence Hospitals and In the
Navy Medical Service, and was Presi-
dent Wilson's personal physician. He
Is president Of the Gorgas Memorial
Institute Of Preventive Medicine and
Tropical Research, a fellow Of the
American College Of Surgeons, a
member of the American Medical
Association. the Southern Medical As
sociation, the Association of Mil
itary Surgeons and the Medical So
ciety Of the District of Columbia. and
has been active in Red Cross cam
paign effort for many years.
But he also possesses a tempera-
mental equipment for his new task.
He knows his world and Is acquainted
with literally hundreds of its most
notable and useful citizens, but he
likewise Is familiar with the great
masses Of the population and under
stands their problems, their strength
and their weakness. His mind is
keenly intelligent. his heart sincerely
sympathetic. Time and experience
have given him administrative tech
nique, practical familiarity with social
economy and tactful skill for the guild
ance Of human thought and conduct,
but they have not robbed him Of a
natural kindliness, liberal charitable
ness. with which he appears to have
been born. A man of the world in
every proper meaning Of the phrase.
he is no less a man for the world His
field henceforth will be universal and
his opportunity unlimited. He has
earned the privilege of such RESPONSE
bility by long and unfaltering devotion,
will meet its demands confidently and
courageously. and almost certainly will
have the unreserved support of the
entire American public.

Group of Marine Disasters
Stirs Demand for New Laws

to put forth their best efforts toward
using what aid was at hand"
LAS result of this and other recent
accidents" the Allentown CPa.) Morn
ing Call suggests there are likely to
be very important changes and de-
velopments for the protection Of those
who use ocean transportation. Com
plete reorganization of the Steamboat
Inspection Service may result, while
a bill already before Congress would
require insurance in the amount Of
$4,000 per passenger"
Commenting on the cause Of the
disaster, which was believed to be de-
fective steering apparatus, the Dan
vile (Ill) Commercial-News says:
"Tampering with the steering appa-
dividual is not an improbable theory.
Revolt against constituted au-
thority Is no reSpecter Of persons
We hope that the sinking Of the
Mohawk was not the result Of some
madman's work"
THE lesson will be conveyed" the
Chester (Pa.) Times is sure. that
the only safeguards against such
calamities are greater care in provid-
ing against all possible emergencies
by giving to ships the best modern
equipment and adding thereto in
creased vigilance in navigating them"
Considering the possibility that
carelessness was responsible for the
disaster, the Los Angeles Times states:
"Of course, there will be the usual off,
cial inquiry in an effort to throw
light on these and other pertinent
points but such a succession of dis
aSters can hardly fail to raise the
Skeptical question as to just how much
good such investigations accomplish
and If, where actual negligence Is
established, something more than the
loss of masters ticket is not called
for. 1t is fortunate that the collision
occurred under such favorable sea,
as to prevent an even larger loss Of
life, but exactly those conditions
ought to have operated to prevent
any collision at all"
One phase of comment. dealing
with the three marine misfortunes in
a row, is taken up by the Portland
Oregonian, with the suggestion that
such things have no significance.
That paper concludes: Here Is little
story from an Indiana town. A man
walked into a moving freight train
and was killed. Oddly enough, his
brother Charles had been killed In
that same way. But almost 1t tran
scends the odd when we read that his
brother James left the world through
this same device. Humph! There
really is no other comment to offer"

Predictions Of a French govern
ment's fall are precarious. for condi-
tions in the Chamber Of Deputies are
mercurial to a degree. and 'crisis"
Is always on tap. But M. Flandin's
supporters see tangible cause for
alarm in the circumstance that on
one vote this week the premier's ma
jority shrank to forty-five votes. His
action in attending the Notre Dame
memorial services In honor Of the
victims Of the Partisan riots Of Feb
ruary 6, 1894, did not prove popular
and the hoots and ieers ti1as greeted
him in the streets were the forern-
ners Of several parliamentary setbacks
in the Chamber and in committees.

Public Enemies.

Beginning at five-thirty Thursday
afternoon and continuing until nine
o'clock Friday morning the police Of
New York conducted roundup Of
suspicious characters. The total OF
the haul was 646 persons, eleven Of
them women. OF these 519 were
booked for violation Of section OF
the State penal code, which prohibits
known criminals from congregating
for illegal purposes. Almost all OF
those thus taken were released, few,
found to be wanted" for various
offenses, being held in bail.
The real purpose of the roundup,
it is reported, was to direct attention
to a weakness in the code. in the
phrase "for illegal purposes" A bill
is now pending before the State Leg
islature providing that in the en-
forcement of the "consorting' clause
of the law the burden OF proof shall
rest upon the person arrested rather
than upon the arresting on1cer as TO
whether he was planning a crime with
his associates. 1t is hoped that the
demonstration afforded by the whole
sale arrests of the impotency OF the
statute as a preventive measure will
hasten the enactment Of the amend
ment.
There was no doubt Of the lawless
character of those taken in the police
net. Virtually every man and woman
had a record" not Of casual crime,
but of professional lawbreaking, In
some cases often repeated. In every
case they were taken while In assocla-
ton with others of their kind. With
out question they were planning crim1-
nal enterprises. Yet they could not
be held, with the few exceptions, even
as suspicious characters" One OF the
magistrates, compelled by the law to
let these people 60 free, said:
If the loophole-that is, the phrase
with an unlawful purpose"-ls re-
moved from Section 722 OF the penal
code, commonly known as the public
enemy law" long stride will be made
in wiping out the chief source OF in
fection among crooks and criminals.
BY consorting and associating with
one another, these men discuss, plan
and scheme how to make what is
known as an easy dollar. They can
always be found in unlawful resorts
and are at the beck and call Of dis
honest merchants who may need them
for some job.
This condition prevails in virtually
all cities. 1t Is known to prevail in
Washington. There are places here
where the underworld" assemblies,
where police know that they can on
occasion find certain people who are
wanted" They have no visible means
of support, no regular lawful occupa-
tions. Yet under the law as 1t stands
they cannot be rounded up as public
enemies until they are identified as
participants in crime. The old va
grancy law is ineffective as q means
of prevention. Some new legislation
is required here, as in New York, for
the effective riddance of the COM
munity Of those who are bent upon
crime and who merely await the op-
portunity for committing it.
