ROOSEVELT ACE
LIMIT PROPOSAL
BA6, CLUB TOLD
Those Above IS, Below 10
Would Be Wards of u. S.,
Writer Says.

President Roosevelts proposal to
retire persons under 10 and SIS from
industry, mentioned in his speech
last night, was criticised this after
noon by George Sokolsky, foreign
correspondent and New York
Herald Tribune columnist, at the
Rotary Club luncheon in the Clay
pool
When President Roosevelt limits
age Of workers, those under 10 and
over 65 will become wards of the
government" he said.
What is the use for scientists to
work TO prolong mans life when the
government kills his usefulness at
50? When you prohibit boys under
IL from working you prevent him
from learning a trade until he is 25.
Skilled Labor Is Problem
One of the problems of our coun-
try today is the lack of skilled labor.
BY the time boy is allowed to
work at 10, 1t will take him seven
more years to learn his trade"
He pointed out that the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. had named
frederick Delano, a cousin of the
President and man over 10, as
the head of Federal Reserve Bank.
Mr.. Delano is an intelligent, use
full man. Why not retire him?" Mr..
Sokolskv asked
Or. Townsend Is over SIS and now
the politicians will probably work
to steal his organization"
Speaks of War Threat
Referring to the border clashes
between Russian and Japanese
troops, Mr.. Sokolsky said that con-
trary to popular opinion Japan does
not want to fight and in all proba-
billties there will be no war.
He said that Soviet Russia Is in
reality a state capitalism form of
government and declared that if
INSCRIPTIONS leaders obtained con-
troll OF the government the Soviet
would become Fascist.

Of course. if you've lived at all,

that the valuation we've put on
youth is all wrong. Youth isn't

AN INVITATION?

Those fighting words exchanged
by Representative Thomas L. Blan-
ton D0 of Texas and Representa-
tive Marion A. Zioncheck DO of
Washington over the District sup
ply bill are lost to posterity.
When they were uttered, the
tones used were so soft that
stenographerS could not hear them
except when Blanton warned Zion
check he would knock the hell
out of him."
Furthermore, Mr.. Blanton cor
reefs the Record so that his con-
stituentS and other persons may
not read the actual account of
some of his activities.
Before the argument occurred,
several District newspaper men
conferred with Blanton concerning
the draStically curtailed supply
bill. They expressed their opposi-
tion to many of the reductions
made in the bill.
Most of the scribeS lived in the
National Capital before the Texas
Tornado struck the city. But he
told them, when they questioned
the bill:
'If you dom. like the way I'm
running the District there are
48 States in which you can live!"

TWO-Minute
Journeys
BORDEAUX

1t is really no use going to the
capital of a country if one really
wants to know its people. Paris is
no more typical of France, nor the
Partisan typical of the French peo-
pie, than New York and the New
Yorker are typical of the United
States and the American.
So, our student-traveler, anxious
to know the French people as they
really are, goes to Provence, to
Normandy, to such towns as Mar
seilles, Lyons, BreSt, Mines, or
Bordeaux. Here he will find
people, a commerce, home life
that is the real France.
In such towns as Bordeaux or
MarSeilles he will meet substantial
merchants, ship owners, an d
builders with a flair for business
that is nothing short of phenome-
nal. It would take wise man to
put one over on Bordelais or on
nptive of MarSeilleS.
Bordeaux offers much to see, as
do most towns devoted to extensive
shipping. It is an important town.
During the World War it was, for a
spell, the wartime capital Of
France, just as it was during the
Franco-PruSsian War after the
French defeat at the battle OF
Sedan.
So, our Bordelais thinks that
his city is as good as any capital,
even better. He is tremendously
proud of Bordeaux and delights in
taking visitors to walk along its
marvellous water front and harbor
which stretches in a crescent
shaped continuous walk for over
three and half miles.
The harbor stretches along the
River Garonne, making it one Of
the few very important inland har-
bors. Winding in from the sea,
one can see from the ship, the
vineyards that have made the
wines of Bordeaux so justly IA
nous. They slope almost to the
shores of the Garonne.
There are restaurants and cafes
aplenty in Bordeaux and it is pos
sible to obtain all sorts of cook
ing, as is usually the way in any
large seaport. The Chapon Fin,
known to almost every serious
epicure, still flourishes.
Almost every one who has so
journed in Bordeaux has fond
memories of this famous old cafe.
Along the water front are the
smaller, less pretentious eating
places, most of which are worth
sampling.

poetry, but difficult and often
diSagreeable living.
Yet, because we have been as
sured so often that youth is a
wonderful time" we continue to
accept that valuation even in the
midst of Cur encouragement and
diSilluSion.
And for the same reason as we
face age, we prepare for the dol
drums. They have told us that
age is barren bitterness. So we
resign ourselves to be barren and
bitter. They've said that life
holds nothing after so. So we
don't look around to see if it's true
or not.
It isn't true. The debated valu-
alton we've put on age is as false
as the inflated valuation we've set
on youth. Life does hold some
thing after 50-it holds its rareSt
diStillation of experience. 1t holds
the wine of years.
Wine-have you ever watched
the making of wine? The muddy
beginning-the mass of crushed
skins and seeds and. pulp-the
seething, fermenting, bubbling,
reeking mass Of troubled pulp
the muddy beginning so like you.
And the gradual settling.
So it may be with age.
PRECIOUS GIFT
After the ferInent of youth
after the Seething ferment of our
earlier blunders and experiments
the turmoil of our temperS and
terrors, our passions and pain
after the reek and fumes Of rest
lessneSs and rebellion-comes the
slow settling of maturity. Then the
scum and refuse of temperament
slowly separate from the depths Of
our natures.
At last life is mellowed and free
no longer rolled by it's own re
volt. The years have given us thell
mellow wine.
That is what age might be II
we would have it so. But we 81
rarely will have it so. We cling tt
those old foolish, arbitrary values
which we have set upon experience
Insist that age is time OF emptl
ness and bitterness-and thai
there is nothing worth living fol
after the high moments Of youth
are gone.
We refuse to see that those "higl
moments" were only the bubbles ir
the wine press and that age alone
knows the good wine. So, like
peevish children, we wa ste the
precious gift which might have
quenched the souls deep thirst.

Scientists tell you that races not cannibastic
died out, because in times of famine they had no
food for their children.
Cannibal races always knew where to find
food; and that hunt for food, wars between
tribes, is the basis of modern war.
The heavy-jawed conquering chief selecting
for his table and his group of wives and
children, young and tender youth and maidens
from the conquered tribe, felt as virtuous as the
Statesmen" did at Versailles, dividing among
themselves the possessions of conquered nations.
One thing is certain, war will not last always,
men will not forever resort to wholesale murder,
in settlement of quarrels. Your grandfather
might remember when Alexander Hamilton was
killed in duel across the Hudson River because
gentlemen" disdaining to submit any question
of honor" to the court settled their quarrels by
fighting.
We have stopped that only the racketeer takes
his enemy for ride, shoots him in the back of
the head throws him out on the roadside.
What the racketeer does, the great nation does,
except that it uses diplomatic phrases, sends out
its army with banners, bugles blowing, arranges
the thing in "courtly fashion, the old duels
were arranged. Those that prepare and order
wars do not see the brains and blood scattered
the battlefield, or young men gaSping
for breath in their death agony.
Whatever wars are to come, let us hope that
this nation will avoid them that no egotism may
send this nation, half prepared, into not
its own.
The United States wants nothing from any
other nation.
Those responsible for national defense should
build up maximum of OFFENSIVE and DE-
FENSIVE armament, warning other nations not
to attack Then, treating impartially all fight

THAT last big was "to end all wars, also,

Now look at democracy if you can find any.
Since then dictators have sprung up like mush-
rooms, and democracy" has been whitfield down
to name, even where there is pretense of pre-
serving the name.
War was to end, democracy was to be safe,
and this is an accurate picture of the world to-
day. Put not your faith in promises.
Today every nation except this-we usually
wake up after the train is off the tracks,

protection from attack, is spending for expected

dreamed of spending.
Mussolini has 100000 armed men, actually

twelve drilling each boy carrying his gas mask.
Russia has 100000 armed men, with 12OOO-

nations" deliberately planning death by poison
gas asphyxiation, wholesale murder preceded

For one comfort we must turn to the past;
and learn that while human beings still
barbarous, they have improved.
Once all men owned slaves, if they could catch
