Roads And Parks For The Poor

Requirements for federal work relief projects. as stated by
Comm. Hopkins are; /. that the jobs be "quick and light,
and :. that they must use a high proportion of direct labor,
e, labor on RELIEF JOBS, not labor in materials industriany
produced which may be purchased for the project. This re-
suits in the exclusion of projects requiring the purchase of
large amounts of steel and otehr durable material which have
absorbed much union labor, but which would absorb little re-
lief labor Another requirement not stated by Hopkins, but OBJ
seryable in the programs no wmade public is that jobs to pro-
duee COMMODITIES for the consumption of those on home re-
lief even though such jobs would reduce direct relief are re-
jected because of possible objections that would be raised by
private industries making the same commodities for profit.
A survey o fprojects approved to date for the entire U. S.
shows them to be chiefly; handspring, building of golf links,
trout ponds etc, park improvements, road and street work,
with the last item leading all others combined. WPA bulletins
ON approved programs thus show that the products of cheap re-
lief work will be improvements desirable to the upper and mid
die classes; but few, if any, will produce any urgently needed
for subsistence of the needy

The Coming London Naval Conference

Great Britain has invited France, Italy, Japan and the
U. S. to participate in a naval conference at London, on Dec. 2
1885. In view of the fact that these countries are all engaged
in increasing their naval strength, it is difficult to see how an
agreement could be reached.
American naval appropriations for 1896 reached 400 mil
lion dollars. Japanese naval appropriations for 1886 is 500,
683O00 yen and for 1936-37 is expected to top 600 million yen.
France has maintained its navy at a level equal to the combined
strength of Italy and Germany. At the beginning Of 1895 Italy
possessed a total of 395y522 tonnage in service; Germany, 159,
100 tons. and France 555,042 tons. Great Britain has built her
navy up to 1,18S,284 tons against the Z. S. tonnage of 1,0s4y9
Germany has been permitted to build her navy to 35ae of the
British sea strength, with a submarine tonnage OF 45% Of Brit
ish strength.
Japan and the L. S. are also engaged in a naval aviation
EXPANSION program. Japan expects to build 1000 naval planes
in 1898. The u. S. has recently appropriated 81, 600 900 as a
mail subsidy which will provide an .airplane across tie Pacific
via Hawaii, Midway, Guam, and the Philippines U. S. also
expects to build up her naval aviation strength to 1910 planes
in 1894. f.

TROOPS TO QUELL STRIKE INCREASE

The use of National Guardsmen and state police against
strikers and the unemployed IS on the increase, it was revealed
in figures made public recently by the Labor Research Associa-
ton. The militia was called out at least 2 times in Is states in
the first 10 months of 1885. Governor Eugene Talmadge of
Georgia takes first prize, having called out troops against
strikers on five occasions. Governor r. L. Cochran of Nebras-
ka, Olin D. johnson of South Caorlina, and Rubin Laffoon of
Kentucky have each employed troops twice in labor struggles.
OF the 10 governors to use troops 13 were Democrats and 3 Re-
publicans.
In a year that witnessed some of the most bitter strikes in
a decade, 1894, Natioanl Guardsmen were employed q times in
IS states by IA Democratic governors, 3 Republicans, and one
Farmer-Laborite.
In 1888 troops were used in only 10 labor disputes and 4
farm struggles in II states.

Italy Assumes The
White Mans Burden

One of Mussolini's first acts
to "eivilize' the captured Eth
iopian population in the North
was to force boys between
the ages of 8 and 15' to work
on the roads (for the Italians)
for two lire (16c) a day.-N.
Y. Sun. Oct. 81.
Mussolini's method of civil
izing is modelled on the British
policy in Konya where there
are 100000 Africans. The
greater number of these spend
their lives in compulsory labor
for the benefit of the 1900
European settlers under a Brit
ish-made law named the "Com-
pulsory Labor Ordinance
The average family yearly in
come in Konya is less than $25
out of which a tax of So is paid
by each owner of a hut and a
poll tax of So is paid by all
able males who are not hut
owners. (The European popu-
lation is exempt from paying
this tax In 1888, 1851 persons
were imprisoned for failure to
pay taxes according to the Of
fetal Report of the Native Of
fairs Department. Political ac-
tiyity for unionization is pun
ishable by Imprisonment for
long terms. I'm Hhodosia, an
other British territory, armed
police recently shot and killed
a number of African copper
workers who protested against
raising the poll tax from 10
to Is shillings Ga shilling is
about 25c)."

Neutrality IN Business

The KIPLINGER LETTER of October {, in its advice to
business interests said Despite neutrality, despite the prohi-
bnion of export of war materials to contestants, there is plenty
Of room for war business
That these business interests are involving the United
States in the African conflict was revealed by the Dept. of Com
meree figures OF November 4th, which showed that oil ship
ments to Italy increased 600% in August and September of 1885
as compared to the same two months last year.
Another report in the n Y TIMES Nov. 10, 1895, indi.
Gates that these interests are using Egypt as a go-between for.
their exports. "ln the first eight months of 1894 only nine
Amer can trucks were re-exported from Egypt, while in the
same period Of 1895 the total was 779. Gasoline and kerosene.
re-exports in the year increased about $500. 'Most of these
articles were shipped to Eritrea.'

EDITORIAL OF THE WEEK
(From the Brooklyn, N. Y. Citizen)

Conformation of the l%ynching of two Negro boys in Texas by
both the County Judge and the County Attorney las an ex-
preston of the will of the people, seems strange to us North
erners. 1t is our conviction that two such officials should de-
vote themselves to seeing the orderly process of the law being
maintained. The fact that the two Negroes aged 10 and Is,
who confessed attacking and killing a white girl could not be
sentenced to death, but would be liable only to Imprisonment
until they came of age explains what impeled the Texas mob
to wreak its vengeance. %Lynching, however, is not in accord
with our national ideals, the South notwithstanding. The only
possible cure would seem to be a Federal antilynching law to
be passed over the South's opposition.

GUARANTEE

The people of this country should each day offer thanks to
the trainers of our Constitution the document which guaran-
tees freedom of speech and freedom of the press. This is the
greatest protection a free people have against the crushing
had of offieialism, bureaucracy, dictatorship and destruction
of personal and property rights, and life itself, as we have seen
occur in foreign lands not blessed with a constitution such as
ours.
As one man, our people should resent any program to
tamper with or weaken the basic principles of the United
States Constitution

Here's Hoping, Kid,

e New York Post-wNU Service.

LIE is a freckled-faced young man
= = whose legs always seem several
inches too much for his first long
trousers. Ordinarily | see him busily
engaged in proving that, given an un-
guarded lot and few kindred souls,
the average American boy can make
scant work of those theorists who
claim that baseball no longer is the
great national game. This night, though,
he was standing on the corner watch

Since the story is painful it may be
passed over quickly. The young man
is an indfvidualist as we'll as citizen
of considerable daring, imagination and
ambition. So he had been inVentlng
some new plays and trying them out

Tony's Mighty Right
Makes Fans Happy

Here the opponent, perhaps over
tired from piIing up points, reiaxes for
a sympathetic moment. There is
scant opening. The Newark Nightstick
is eVeIed upon defenseless lug.
Mr.. Galento puffs, dabs daintily at
the beads of sweat upon his chest and
then glances at the victim squirming
upon the canvas. Sometimes then there
is disdainfuI CLEAN in his eyes but it
is not for the weakness of this victim
who, a moment ago, was doing so well.
Rather Mr.. GalentO is rubbing his own
right hand, telling it that it ought to
be ashamed of itself having to take
two swishes before it could convince
a mere 230-pounder such as Young
Hippo to stay tagged.
II is at such moments that MIR.
GaIento and his audience are happiest.
Perhaps his delicate pinkies have not
yet been planted under enough jaws to
merit such Intimate esteem as caused
an entire nation to hail Frank Moran's
nauIie as Mary Ann. Yet, for all that
there may be people who love and
honor him for other more enduring
qualities, il is only because he has that
right hand that MIR. GaIento can charm
an audience into paying real money
for the chance of being happy.
Therein also is the reasOn-far more
than any prejudice against the rights
of the foreign born Schmelings, Neusels
and Paulinos to take satchels full of
gold out of this country-why the audi
ence seems to crave him as Louis's
next opponent.
Probably the fight would be a very
bad one. Louis, the best boxer among
the heavyweights of the day, should
outpoint him with ease. Possibly Louis,
who hits almost as hard as Detroit's
other idol, Hank Greenberq, might also
knock him out. Yet, even though the
League of Nations might persuade
Ethiopia and Italy 20 revert to the an
cient custom of settling their own mass
troubles by this one test, it is rather
evident that it is fight that never will
take place.
l mention this for the benefit OF those
citizens who have been wasting so
many stamps while calling attention to
their eagerness to lay it on the line for
Santa Claus. The reasons should be
obvious even though 1 personally think
that, if left TO his own devices, Joe
Louis would welcome such chance.
Louis is a million dollar fighter.

Thrice the Slaves in
World as Century Ago

The world may be improving In
some ways but in regards to human
bondage it is growing steadily worse,
according to figures gathered by
Lady Simon, wife of Britain's for
eign minister. There are three times
as many slaves in the world today
she says, as there was 100 years ago
(not counting those in the United
States).
Slave trading is carried on open
~ in most of the larger cities of
Arabia and 4 slave market adjoins
the Great Mosque of Mecca. Oddly
enough, Liberia, which at one time
was refuge for escaped and lib
Grated slaves of the United States,
has nearly 100000 slaves numbered
among its 100000 population. Slav-
cry still exists in many parts of
