NEARING ELECTION
. D|SQU|ETS CUBA.
Constituent Assembly Will
Be Picked in Voting
September IS.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Cuba is seething with unrest again
as the election for the Constituent
Assembly which will elect the new
President approaches. The date for
the Assembly election has been fixed
for September IS.
President Vendetta is at present
endeavoring to bring about a fusion
between his party and other conserva-
tive parties in order to assure his
reelection and to weaken the chances
of Manuel de la Cruz. his principal
opponent for the position of chief
executive of the island.
U. S. Attitude Neutral
Although the American Govern
ment Is maintaining a strictly neutral
attitude in the Cuban political tur-
moil, rumors are already being spread
In Havana and other important CEN
ters that Mendietta's new move for a
fusion Of political parties has the
moral support of the United States
Government.
Agitators are hard at work en-
deavoring to rouse public opinion
against President Vendetta. who is
already being described as a pupper
in the hands of Jefferson Caffery, the
American Ambassador in Cuba.
The proposed combination of parties
IS opposed-unofficially, for the time
being-by Cuba's strong man, Col
Batista, the head of the Cuban Army.
Vendetta is at present on indif-
ferent terms with Batista. They
work together because they cannot
do otherwise. But when the threat
of a combination of parties becomes
a reality, observers who have just re-
turned from Havana say that there
will be an inevitable break between
the two men,
Fear Old Officers Return.
The chief worry of Batista is that
Vendetta will rely at the next elec-
tion chiefly on the support of the
Menocal party. The heads of the
army, including Batista, are former
non commissioned officers who fear
that Menocal will bring back the old
army officers who were pushed out
after the revolution against Machado.
Batista Is also worried that this
fusion of the old guard parties will
bring back to power Carlos Manuel de
Cespedes, who has once been ousted
from power by the commissioned
officers.

Hard Work Think Hard.

1t is now feared that there will be another
wheat shortage, due to the dust drought storms
which have caused damage in the midwest compare
bic to that done by last years drought.
Farmers producing other products likewise face
new and difficult problems, which have been caused
largely by the failure of the governments farm
relief program to produce the results that were an
ticipated by the overly optimistic.
All Of this emphasizes the fact that the American
farmer, if he is to work his way out Of depression,
is going to have to work hard and think hard. He
cannot depend on outside agency for his economic
salvation. The whims of nature, and the ancient
laws Of supply and demand cannot be controlled by
faith.
The farmers best weapon lies in the agricultural
cooperative-cooperatives which are owned and
controlled by their members, and which enlist the
abilities and energies Of thousands Of producers in
order to work toward a common goal. One farmer,
faced with disorganized distributing machinery,
%profitless prices, and chaotic markets, is powerless
ten thousand farmer, joined together in one organi-
z%ation, can fight a winning battle.
The old saying that self help is The only worth
while kind Of help, was never truer than in the case
Of modern agriculture.
The Omaha guide., 1935-04-13
Obstruction

Southern Democrats in Congress, playing what
they thought was smart politics, last year blocked
a vote on the Costigan-W Wagner antilynching bill by
threatening a filibuscer. Fortunately this session
that measure is before the Senate, with the unani-
nous favor Of the Judiciary Committee, in plenty
Of time. Amy similar trickery this year will be re-
vealed for what it is-obstruction Of the most ir-
responsible variety.
This mild measure to hold counties responsible
financially for mob murder has widespread popular
support both in the North and South. Organiza-
tions representing 10000 900 Americans have urged
its passage. A giant petition containing the names
of 8 governors, q mayors, 60 clergymen and more
than 200 national organizations, asks the President
to support it. The administration is not unfriendly.
Only the false sentiment Of local pride and a
misconceptiOn Of state rights have prevented pas
sage Of a Federal anti-Iynching law for years.
Threat Of this measures passage last year
seemed to check lynch horrors. While the bill was
pending between January 30th and June 8th not
one lynching occurred. When it appeared certain
the bill would be pigeon holed, l~ynchings began and
continued a the rate of one a week. Senators Cos
tigan, Van Nuys and Wagner think that at least a
half score Of mob murderers were prevented by the
SOLDERING effect Of the bills threat. Last year there
were 16 lynchings, compared with % in 1888.
Obstructionist tactics by southern senators killed
the Dyer antilynching bill II years ago after it had
passed the House overwhelmingly. If this sane and
humane measure is vi ynched again in the same way,
the people will know who did it and why.

Practical Projects for Relief
Expenditures

The sugges. ion that a share Of federal relief ex-
penditures be allocated to railroad grade-crosslng
elimination is meeting with much support. News
papers, business commentators, regulatory officials
and others have endorsed the plan for a variety OF
reaons.
Reason number one lies in the fact that federal
relief expenditures are to be made on the basis OF
obtaining the largest possible amount of employ
ment, both direct and indirect, for each dollar
spent. Grade crossing elimination, like road build
ing, would provide a tremendous number OF jobs,
both at the scene Of operations and in Industries
supplying steel, cement, paint and other necessary
supplies.
Reason number two lies in the fact that money
spent for grade crossing elimination would not only
provide relief to thousands of unemployed, but
would give the tax payer, who is footing the bill,
something in return. At the present time, bat a
relatively small percentage of the grade crossings
of the country are protected. Most of them lack
warning bells and adequate signals. The result Is
that thousands Of lives are lost each year in acct
dents at crossings-lives whict would be saved once
they were eliminated.
Reason number three lies in the fact that grade
crossing elimination is a necessary public obhga-
ton. The states and railroad industry, which have
here, ofore borne the costs of this work, are unable
to pay the bill for more. Expenditure of federal
public relief funds for elimination of crossings is a
sound program in the public interest.
1t is to be hoped that, when the relief ap-
preparations bill is finally completed and passed,
those charged with selecting projects on which
money is to be spent will put down Embarrassing
elimination as a major item on the list.

One Of The -Church's
Worse Enemy

Johnson said "Tne slave trade
has been to Africa a great evil,
but of the rum trade are far
worse. | would rather my coun-
trymen were in slavery and kept
away from drink, than that drink
should be let loose upon them"
Americas greatest menace today
is the rum traffic. More homes
have been wrecked, more lives de-
stroyed, moral decency dethroned
by the use Of alcoholic beverage
than any other one evil. It's a
moral issue not legislative. The
people must be educated away
from it by constant teaching
This is the church's big job. Lyn-

but we wish to liss him as first

He should be commended for
his courageous attitude, after
while hoodlums-Ku KluxS had
distributed fould propaganda of
race riots and lynching. Race
voters backed him 100 per cent.
There were SIS white candidates,
hence having stood sixth in this

numbering only about one-tenth,
was a second victory.

Mussolini is set in his determi-

forces for resistance to Italian
Fascism.

given a chance to learn what holding companies are
for, why they were created and what they really
are, as dis met from what the anti-power politicians
say they are, that they have been an important fact
or in practically every great industry, and that
they were developed long before an electric com
pany existed.
1t can be proven that the holding company was
the greatest single factor in bringing gas and
electric service in this coun. ry to its. present state
of efficiency, which is the highest in the world. Be
fore the holding company, each utility could serve
only is little district. Outside of the large cities
of the country, where demand was sufficient to
justify the building of large, first class plans, serv-
ice was necessarily uncertain. Rates were high.
Breakdowns were frequent. Management and en-
cheering personnel was far from being of the best
type
The holding company provided a means where
by every town, small or large, could enjoy the most
efficient and least expensive service. 1t joined
he small plants into larger interconnected systems
and practically did away with failures in service.
f. made available to operting companies the high
est calibre Of management, engineering, legal and
other counsel. 1t was able to obtain the money for
improving facilities and extending opera ions. In
.eturn it received fees, based on work done, from
the operating company.
1t is an interesting commentary that the hold
ing company has been heartily endorsed by David
Lilienthal, head of the IVA, which is itself a hold
ing company, owned and operated by individual
holding companies but added that without the
services of good holding companies, electric and
gas service could never have reached present
peaks of efficiency.
The proponents of the present bill do not pre-
tend to eliminate holding company evils or abuses
through sound, well considered regulation, which
would protect the interest Of utility investors, the
public and the government alike. Instead, they,
lump the wheat with the chaff, and propose to de-
stroy the holding company entirely and to destroy
with it hundreds of millions of dollars which the
American people have invested in our large electric
systems. They are working, consciously or other
wise, on the supposition that the way to cure di-
sease is 10 kill the patient.
Public spirited utility executives, no less than
government officials, offer their sincere support to
legislative proposals which would remedy abuses
and enable properly managed holding companies to
destroy the companies, when that works to the
detriment of all who use light and power, who
have invested money in private utilities, or who
have an interest in forwarding sound policies in
both government and private business.

Better Race Relations

Education, the proper type and
the Christian Religion constitute
the chief requisites for better race
relation. Committee meetings,
legislative enactments will not ac-
complish the task. AS long as
men, groups, and races think diff
ferently and are widely divided
in their educational preparations,
particularly that type that pro-
duces an inferior stamp, will they
remain apart. AS long as a race
is ignorant and another one IS
educated, we may expect trouble
and confusion unless one continu-
es to be servant of the more for
tunate one. Arkansas can best
ameliorate these stubborn condi-
tons by providing the proper fa-
cilities for educating all its citi-
zens alike.

Shall We Cure or Kill?
By E. Hofer.

For several years, the politicians Of the country
have been working overtime in denouncing the
evils Of the electric utility industry. Brandishing
the sword Of eloquence, they stood bravely between
the public and the alleged economic monster which
sougth to devour them.
All of this amounted to a prelude to an attempt
to destroy he monster and it has COM to frui-
ton in the so-called Public Utility Act Of 1885,
which is now under consideration in Congress. II
the act passes, practically every utility holding
company in the nation will be forced out of bust
ness by 1910.
1t might not be a bad idea if the public were
