Federal Relief Costs
Analysed by K. K. Hoyt

THE present federal relief program,
l. depending principally on work re-
lief, Geo and public works, is alone
costing approximately as much as the
fourfold program which went before
and which embraced these three items
plus direct relief which has now been
returned to the states, according to
study of the relief problem and the
government finances by Kendall K.
Hoyt in the Analyst.
For immediate purposes, at least,
there is no prospect Of much reduction
in the rate of federal expenditure, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hoyt. In order to pre-.
vent the states from trooping back for
more relief funds the government must
keep it's pledge to employ the arbitrary
three and one-half millions of persons
which have been carried since last No
vember principally under WPA and
CCC. In dollar terms this means that,
according to budget estimates, the out.
lay for recovery and relief for the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1886, will be
almost the same as that for the preced
ing fiscal year, namely, three billions
in round numbers.

England's Late King
@ Western Newspaper Union

TOR two minutes Tuesday afternoon
l. Q.ondon time) there was silence
throughout all the vast British empire.
In st. Georges chapel at Windsor the
last rites were being performed over
the remains of the dead king, George
v, by the archbishop of Canterbury,
assisted by the archbishop of York and
the bishop of Windsor. The late rul-
er's body had been lying in state for
two days in Westminster hall, London,
and thousands upon thousands of
mourning Britons had passed sadly by
the bier, while other throngs filled all
the churches at special services. In
the funeral procession King Edward
VIII walked behind the catafalque
wearing the uniform Of an admiral
of the fleet With him were his broth
ers and after them came innumerable
representatives of foreign nations,
these including kings and princes. The
United States was represented by Nor.
man Davis, ambassador-at-large.

Surgeon General Cumming
Will Retire February 1

nR. HUGH S. CUMMING announced
~ that on February 1 he would re-
tire as surgeon general of the United
States public health service, because
of long service and health that isn't
too good" He has been in the service
since 1894 and has had four terms as
Its head. His administration Is cred
tied with completion Of the quarantine
system: Inauguration Of preimmigra-
ton examinations at American con-
sulates; establishment of a national
leprosarium and national narcotic
farms, and construction of eight ma
rine hospitals.
His influence in control and treat
ment of bubonic plague and yellow
fever has been world wide. Many ma
tons have honored him with decora-
lions.
1t was believed in Washington that
President Roosevelt would appoint as
the new surgeon general DR.. Thomas

Death Of G. w. Wickershan,

Eminent Attorney
NOTEWORTHY among recent deaths
is that of George w. Wickersham
of New York, who, was attorney gen
eral of the United States in the Taft
administration and for many years
one of the country's leading corpora
ton lawyers. He was seventy-seven
years old, and died of heart disease
in taxicab.
Mr.. Wickersham was chairman Of
the famous Hoover commission named
to investigate prohibition and other
law enforcement in 1929. The commits
sion's report opposed repeal, but the
document was accompanied by the
members individual statements In
which majority urged repeal or mod
ification of the eighteenth amendment
The net result was confusing.
Much good work, overlooked by the
public in the controversy over prohi-
bition, nevertheless was done by the
commission. It's exhaustive reports,
fled early in 1881, covered many
phases of the crime problem and were
regarded as important contributions in
that field.

Baby Bond Bonus Passed
Over Presidents Veto

DAYMENT of the veterans bonus by
1 means of baby bonds payable on de-
mand was enacted into law by con-
gress and the money for the ex-sol-
diers will be available on June 10.
The Harrison compromise bonus Dill
that went through the senate and house
easily, was vetoed by President Roose-
welt. The house Immediately and en-
Enthusiastically repassed the measure.
The senate was little more deliber-
ate, but within three days 1t, too, had
overridden the disapproval of the Chief
Executive, and the bill was made law.
The vote In the senate was 76 to 10.
In the house it had been 324 to 81.
It was a notable fact that all the
senators--95 in number, for Huey
Longs successor has not yet taken his
seat-were present and voting. Notable,
but not strange when one remembers
this is an election year. Fifty-seven
Democrats, 16 Republicans and Rad
icals-La Toilette of Wisconsin, Ship
stead and Benson of Minnesota-voted
for the bill, while IL Democrats and
Republicans voteC against 1t.
The galleries were filled and there
was wild cheering when the vote was
announced Republican senators amused
themselves and the spectators by twit-
ting the Democrats on their failure to
stand by their chief, the most voluble
of the twitters being Senator Hastings
of Delaware.
Informed of the vote, President
Roosevelt at once ordered government
departments to prepare for payment Of
the bonus certificates as quickly as
accuracy will permit. Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau said that the
payment would be the most difficult
mechanical task the treasury had faced
in its history. He said the treasury
would need $2,50O,OOO and the veter-
ans administration $5,000,0OO to in
crease the force to take care of the
job. More than seven million interest
calculations will be necessary.

WOMEN ARE NOT
SO EASY" AS MEN
IN FLATTERY GAME

what do you think of the claim
that women like admiration and fiat
terry as much as men and are no less
fools than men in the hands of one
of the other sex who uses that meth
cd of getting into their good graces?
Don't you think that's ridiculous?
I've never yet met man who
wouldn't believe anything charming
and delightful about himself that any
woman might tell him. But I've seen
many a man try to bambooZle a won
an and fail because he laid it on too
thick" This was asked of woman
writer of note, who replied as fol-
lows:
I think our reader has hit upon an
important truth in the relationship of
the sexes.
do not doubt for one moment that
women like admiration as much as
men-that is admiration from the
other sex. Indeed believe this Is in
a way a more important factor With
women than with men. By that I
mean that while men may "eat up
admiration from the other sex, that
is not the motivating factor Of their
interest In them; while with some
women delight in masculine admira-
ton is largely the root of their enjoy
ment of the society of the other sex.
But-women are not so "easy" as
men. A nomely woman does not
easily accept mans insistence that
she is beautiful, but many bald, fat
man has been convinced he Is an
Adonis. Women can be flattered.
but it has to be done more subtly.
Therefore the man who is wise will
discriminate in his flattery. He will
look for the "good points" which in
some form or other are possessed By
every woman, and concentrate Oh
them, rather than attempt to endow
her with charms which she realizes
are not hers.
1t is not that women like f1attery
less, but they have more difficulty
than men in putting entirely to sleep
their intelligence and common sense |!

their action i'm the Democratic national
convention next June when the dele
gates are asked to indorse the dOings
of the Roosevelt administration. There
could be no misunderstanding Smiths
meaning, and he must now be con-
sidere0 the leader of the conserva-
tive Democrats in their revolt against
the policies of the New Dealers. The
concern of the administration Dem
Ocrats is now as to how extensive will
be the bolt; and whether the conserva-
tives will put up their own ticket. sup
port the Republican nominee or mere
~ stay away from the polls. OF course
in any case the Republican cause will
be aided materially, unless the guesses
Of its leaders are all wrong.
New Deal Democrats were quite I'M
dismayed by the Smith speech, which
they declared was weak and ineffective
They announced that Majority Leader
Joseph T. Robinson of the senate
would deliver the official reply in a
radio address, and unofficial answers
to Smiths denunciations came from
various sources. One Of the latter, by
Donald Richberg and Melvin D. Hill
dreth on behalf of the National Pro-
gressive league, dug up this quotation
from one of Smiths speeches in the
1928 compaign:
"'The cry Of socialism has been
patented by the powerful interests
that desire to put a damper on pro-
gressive legislation. Failing to meet
arguments fairly and squarely, spe-
cial interest falls back on the old
stock phrase of socialism To refer
to the remedies for all these evils
as state socialism is not constructive
craftsmanship, it is not leadership; and
leadership is what this country is hum
CRY for today"
The Rlchberg statement continued:
IF Governor Smith was right in 1925,
then by that same token and by his
own once powerful arguments Alfred
e. Smith must be wrong today, when
he is giving aid and comfort to the op-
ponents of progressive policies which
he formerly 4espoused."
Mr.. Smith In his Liberty league
speech never once named President
Roosevelt but he specifically put ou
that gentleman the full blame for repu-
diation of most Of the planks in the
Democratic platform of 1882, which he
declared was the best ever put forth in
this country.
Millions and millions Of Democrats
just like myself. all over the country.

"And what we want to know is why
It wasn't carried out. And listen.

States of America that can answer
that question"

the resignation Of his cabiet to King
Fuad l. The resignation was accepted
Nessim found it exhausting to keep
an equilibrium between the conflicting
forces of the throne, the British resi-.
dency, the nationalists and their com
patriots. But the final blow, dealt him
by the British government at London,
was the thinly yelled ultimatum to
Egyptian Nationalism, in the form OF
verbal instructions for negotiations foi
an Anglo Egyptian treaty. The sting
to Egyptian pride was in the warning
that if the present negotiations fail.
the British consider their hands will
be free and will revise their Egyptian

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
M AID HnnUEcn


THE most ominous note of all was
L the Presidents warning that the
power he has assumed would be dan
gerous in other hands. "In thirty
four MONTHS" he says, I'VE have
built up new instruments of public
power. In the hands of the peo-
pies government, this power is
wholesome and proper"
1t just happens that the ideal up
on which our government was found
ed and hitherto conducted is that it
is dangerous to the people to have
any man possess such powers, or to
allow any man to thus aspire to per-
sonal government instead Of a gov
eminent of laws.
The question is, not that these
powers, having been created and
now in the hands Of the good, might
be transferred to the hands Of the
wicked, if the New Deal is not con-
tinued. 1t is that they never should
be possessed by anybody in these
United States.
