H w AN hEOOLOllON
Whereas, there's much talk of
war, news and rumors of war,
plans and preparations for war,
and
Whereas, much of this is but

and
Whereas, profits and power seem
to be the underlying incentives

world become the first and prin-

heartbreaks as we'll as sharing the
burdens and physical sufferings;
Therefore, be it resolved, that
on this Mothers Day, May IL, the

petition our president, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, to use his high and in
fluential position to the utmost in
preventing war and its prepare

united nation. and which put into
effect Q program embodying this
ideal.
The record Of that program Is writ
ten indelibly into the lives Of our
people. Systematic and sympathetic
relief has redeemed the pledge that
no one In America shall be allowed
to starve. Comprehensive public
works have gone even further by
recognizing the principle that in 80
far as possible the willing worker
shall have the right to work. The
farmer Is again rejoicing in the fruits
Of his efforts. The home owner, hav-
ing secured loans to refinance his in
debtedness, is again secure and happy
In the warmth Of his domestic circles.
One Act Outstanding.
The average citizen with a thou
sand daily cares may have found it
hard to grasp all the complexities Of
governmental machinery. But there
has been one parcel of legislation
standing out like the sun at high
noon, visible to all except the blind.
This legislation was fundamental be-
cause it came to grips with causes as
well as results. 1t appealed to thought
full business men because it provided
an opportunity to create order out Of
chaos, to manufacture and sell goods
with q better knowledge of the mar
ket, and to restrain the demoralizing
practices Of the price slasher and the

for q better distribution Of oppor-
tunity among nameless millions Of
Americans.
On May 27, the Supreme Court Of
the United States handed down its de-
cision In the Schechter case, invalidat-
ing certain portions of the national
industrial recovery act. Before night
fall Of that day the opinion OF the
court, hastily read and distorted to
suit selfish purposes, was seized upon
by all the forces Of reaction as q man
date requiring the complete abandon
ment OF our Federal program. Any one
who has studied the history of our
country viii not be surprised 20 find
some people misconstruing and mis-
representing language OF the Supreme
Court and Of the Constitution itself in
an attempt to make both serve as in
struments for oppression, rather than
as the guardians Of freedom that they
truly are.
Decision Accepted.
We do not utter q word OF disap-
proval of the decision of the Supreme
Court In the Schechter case. We dis
approve only Of the erroneous con-
structions that have been placed upon
it by designing people. We retain our
enduring faith in constitutional gov
eminent and our confidence In the
wisdom and craftsmanship Of our
highest court. 1t Is our intent to fol-

Of them has O single constructive sub

the bugle Of retreat into the tangle-
wood of disorganization and chaos.
In seeking to vindicate their posi-
ton before the American people,
these captains of reaction have again

States rights. Every time the Fed

have q nightmare about the over
throw Of our system Of government.
Misery Held National
why do not these gentlemen wake
up and look at economic realit!esf
Did the misery and discomfort OF
three years ago show q fine respect
for State lines? Was 1t possible to
keep wages in one section up when
competitive wages In other sections
were tumbling down toward zero?
Did the manufacturers of the East
have ready market for their prod
ucts when the agricultural West was
In ruins? Until the Federal Govern
ment acted two years ago, the States
were utterly powerless to prevent the
trend toward complete social dis
integration. These people know that
a return to State action will mean no
action at all. They are opposed to

600 in iron and steel, and by $50. 600

than $500, 900 people have been trans

q million children have been with

The annual volume of wages has in

gains, however, cannot be conveyed
by cold figures. They are evidenced by

workers because 1t recognized that
the real dynamo Of industry was not
closed banks and idle factories, but
the human materials Of America. Its
first and guiding principle was that
recovery was neither possible nor
worthwhile unless 1t meant the re-
Mobilization of the workers Of this
country. With its promise of fuller
employment, shorter hours, better
wages and the right to bargain COL
lectively, the national industrial re-
covery act drove its appeal to the
hopes and aspirations Of nameless
men and women from coast to coast.
One does not have to delve into
volumes Of statistics to prove that the
recovery act has been helpful to
business. Every observant person
knows that the last two years have
changed losses into profits and con-
verted despair into hope. 1t viii be
enough to mention that the earnings
of 1,435 representative industrial and
trading establishments rose from
$640, 900 900 in 1888 to $1,071, 900 900

ing can ever erase from body or soul
the scars of hunger or the humiliat1ng
brand of unemployment. Upon mil
lions of Iaboring people were visited
trials and tribulations that can never
be understood fully except by those
whose own personal experiences have
subjected them to poverty and its
terrible insecurity. With $4,000. 600
already unemployed In early 1888,
100000 new victims every month
were being severed from their source
of livelihood and flung heartlessly
upon the streets. Many who retained
their jobs were speeded up to the
Notwithstanding pace Of go or 10
hours a week. The pay envelope be-
came thinner and thinner, until In
some instances it reached the un-
believable figure of or dollars a
week. In the search for the cheapest
labor. children of IA or Is years Of
age were drawn into factories by the
thousands. Ard at times these frail
reeds for the support of whole FAM
lilies were paid or 8 cents an hour.
AS conditions grew even worse, public
morale was shattered, the strongest
seemed powerless to act, and an
entire nation descended into the
gloomy vale OF abandoned hopes.
No Lack Of Resources.
When we ask ourselves the chal-
longing question why the forces of
revival lay cold and still, what answer
suggests itself? Surely there was no
lack Of natural resources. Surely the
strength and energy and genius of our
people had not perished. The main
obstacle to recovery was an outworn
philosophy of government that had
been suited to the ox-cart era, but
that was totally unadjusted to the
machine age. This outworn philoso-
ply insisted upon extreme individual
ism at a time when the individual had
become the helpless victim of forces
too big and too powerful for him to
control. Those people who clung to
this philosophy failed to perceive the
need for national action, although our
mighty industries had burst the
bounds of conventional State lines
and were country-wid or even inter-
national in their scope. They scohed
at the possibilities of Nationwide CO.
operation, although cooperation was
the only safeguard against social dis
integration on one hand or radical
overthrow on the other.

dent Roosevelt, there came to power
a leadership which grasped the
realities of the situation, which knew
that we must sink or swim as a

WE'LL FORGET 1T


Two police officers were shot in Wash

halt bank robber, believed to be the
notorious William Mahan, who engineer
ed the Weyerhaeuser kidnapping.
1oday posse of several hundred men
and officers is on the trail of the slayer.
hoping to catch him.
ID all makes interesting news. but will
be forgotten by most of Us before the
week is out. By next Saturday the rank
and file of us will not be able to tell the
names of the slain officers
There are others who will not forget
SO easily, the widow and five fatherless
children of Officer H. ". Storem. who
feli before the assassins gun. They
have many years of remembering ahead
of them. and it is not going to be very
pleasant remembering.
It Storem was getting $3.50 month
he was doing exceptionally we'll, for few
policemen throughout the nation get
much more than that. For that sum
they are asked to risk their lives as
Storem did. If the odds against the Off
GERS were anywhere near fair we might
find some justification or asking
them to take the risks they do but in
stead of trying to make the odds between
officers and criminals somewhat even,
we seem pound to place burdens on the
officers and give aid to the criminal.
That is strong statement to make,
but isn't it true? If this double slayer
was Mahan, the parole board of Wash
ington also has some remembering to do
Mahan, if the records are clear, was pa
rolled while serving a term for robbery
notwithstanding he had been in trouble
on several occasions. Had the parole
board, instead of being a wishy-washy
body like California's parole board is,
been what parole board is supposed to
be- Mahan would still be in prison,
George Weyerhaeuser would not have
been kidnapped, and five little youngsters
would not be today mourning the loss
of their father whom the law asked to
take too great a risk.
There are plenty of other officers Just
like Storem. underpaid and handicapped
yet We ask them to stand out in front of
an outlaws gun and try to capture him.
It's high time we gave some attention
to assisting the officers of the law in
stead of the criminals.
