COORDTNATNG COUNCIL
TNDTCTS MALADJUSTNENT.

Last week, the Coordinating Council
of Ell Centre passed a resolution recon-
mending that a fairer adjustment be
made of the differentials now existing
between the rates of dole distributed by
the SRA and wages paid by WPA. The
resolution strikes the nail on the head,
when it points out that the differential
induces a person to idle on the dole,
rather than work on a WPA project, the
differential is wrong 1t should be the
other way round to form an induce
ment to stimulate indigents into becom-
ing workers. This is just one OF the many
Embellishments resulting from the de
preston The worst part OF the Civil
War was the many years which elapsed,
before the nation again became firmly
set in proper economic balance. Now
that the depression has come and gone,
we are faced with a similar period dur
ing which the methods used TO pull us
through, must be eliminated so as to put
the nation back on a normal footing.
Such a process is bound to hurt many
innocents and be guilty of many IRA
tionalities. The subject of the Councils
resolution was just one of many. The
readiustment should take place with as
few of these as possible.

j RELIEF CROPS
TROUBLE SETS IN
= FsRC ABOLISHED e.
MOVED TO AAA
By RODNEY BUTCHER

wASHINGTON.-At the time OF
the 1888 massacre OF little plgs'
which brought on so much crltlclSnl'
Mrs Roosevelt herself is supposed 10
have made the naive Suggestloll IIluS
resulted in the creation OF the f0ftN
the Federal Surplus Relief Corpor-
a+ion-which brought up more IMAM
250 million dollars worth OF surplus
crons. for consumption by people on
relief.
That program was off to prom
ising start, but trouble soon oeSe.
it.
The first blow to the idea came
when Roosevelt decided that FSRC
should be abolished-on the theory
that his works program ana return
of the "unemployables" to state care
would somehow guarantee every
body enough food.
Remnants of the FSRC were
moved over to the AAA. Then Con-
gress seemed to feel that the Needy
unemployed offered a good dump
ing ground for surplus crops ana SO
suggested when it passed the AAA
amendments appropriating 81 per
cent of customs receipts Tor olVer-
sion of such surpluses, which would
amount to nearly S100,OOOOO0.
4 +
THE next blow came when AAA
decided to devote more than hall the
money to subsidizing southern cot
ton farmers and indicated that
much of the rest would be spent on
dumping commodities abroad. New
ertheless, a few here still hoped that
the FSRC principle might be pre-
served.
And then, late in December, en-
tered Comptroller General John X.
McCarl. He ruled it would be i'm
possible to use any of the customs
money for relief purchases.
McCarl held proposed purchase
and distribution would not constl-
tute a diversion of such agricultural
commodities from the normal cham
nels of trade and commerce"
Next, Roosevelt in his budget
message recommended that the sec
ton providing for diversion of crops
with customs receipts money be re-
pealed altogether, on the ground
that it made budgeting difficult ano
was contrary to principles of SOUND
administration.
The small group which still
thought surplus relief good pla1i
was just beginning to lobby secret
ly for a new amendment when six OF
the nine old men" obliterated the
AAA law completely.
Now the farm lobbyists summon
ed here by Secretary Wallace to
work out a new AAA insist that the
customs receipts and diversion sec
ton be resurrected and strengthened
in the new act. But chances are
this will simply mean a controversy
over export subsidies, which Roose-
velt opposes, in which the surplus
relief plan will again be ditched.

ROOSEVELT and Farley were at
all times determined to have the
Democratic national convention in
Philadelphia because they believed
it would help Senator Joe Guffey
carry Pennsylvania for Roosevelt in
November.
Pennsylvania SO electoral votes
would be likely to swing the election
to RooseVelt-if they could be had.
Philadelphia business m n S
committee apparently believed it
won the convention by raising the
ante $4,000 plus expensive conces-
sions, through Democratic desire TO
tune in with the Liberty Bell in the
shadow Of Independence Hall for
public consumption, and because

be of interest to the senator
friends:
ANY way you figure it Senator
Robinson is Arkansas biggest asset.
During his long tenure in tie senate
he has done more for the state than
any other man VINO has represent
ed us in either branch OF congress.
He is the senior senator and is the
NEST powerful man in the senate
today.
Time and again he has brought
the bacon home to Arkansas. II
does not make any difference Wheth-
er you are Tor the New Deal or
against 1t. 1t doesn't make any dit
ference whether Roosevelt is elected
or not. 1t doesn't make any differ
ence whether you are Democrat.
Republican, Townsendite, Libert /,
Progressive or Radical: He can Go
more for you ana more for the state
in the senate than amy man that
could be sent there.
He has proved his worth. He
has been wrong, but he has been
right more times than wrong. He
has worked faithfully, not only for
Arkansas, but for the nation. The
least the central committee of Ar
kansas counties could do would be
to endorse him for the office again
and save him the tiresome, exhaust
i've effects of statewide campaign ;
THAT is not fulsome praise, but
statement of fact which can be
verified by Senato or Robinson's rec
ord during the long years he has
served. Not only has he found time
to bring home the bacon for his
home state-but ne has ben a real
leader in the nations affairs"

THE PUBLIC rs INTERESTED
IN NATIONAL PROBLEMS

Recently a reader said, "The public
isn't interested in editorials on nation
al problems" That he lCds lCr0ng. IraS
indicated last ICeek Uhen lengthy
QuestiOHory LCds published in this col
un'n and, much to our surprise, many
people filled in their dnsrers to the
questions and returned the form to as.
1t is eUideHt that, not only are Valley
people dtUdre of the import of nation
al economic and political problems,
but they are mterestediy studying
them. Tdilying the ansuers. majority
opinion on each question uas ShOWn
to be as folIOws:
Unemployment insurance should not
De compulsory but if made so, employees,
employers and government should con-
tribute. There should be state or Federal
old age pensions, but no increase in tax
es or the public debt. The number of
government employees should be re-
duced. Relief should be continued in the
form of work relief but wages should
be less than in private employment.
Local work relief projects are economic
ally justified. The government should
not fix prices, but should act to increase
prices on farm products Bounties are
not favored. A great difference of OPT
Mon exists as to restriction of crops
and acreage. Government should not
compete with transportation or power
companies nor own railroads, telephone
and telegraph companies, radio stations.
bus lines, coal mines or other industries.
There should be community ownership
of power companies. The government
should not take over banking systems
nor be permitted to change the purchas-
ing value of the dollar. Whether taxing
power should be used TO take wealth
from one group and give it to another
depends upon conditions. Profits are
essential to stimulate business enter
prise and should not be controlled or reg
ulated by the government except insofar
as utilities are concerned. Labor union
membership is not favored as a condi-
tion of employment. Government should
not fix wages and hours, but the Federal
and state governments should unite to
set minimum wages and maximum work
ing hours
If this reflects popular attitude,
the American public can not be diUid-
ed as "LiberaI' or conservative" In
diUiduaiiy, readers reUealed that they
uere not all one or all the other. From
persons, the majority of WhOse an

EDITOR, THE POST-PRESS,
DEAR SIR.

EDITOR THE POST-PRESS,
DEAR SIR;
I've noted your saying that you thought the
law should take its course in the Hauptmann-
Lindbergh case. Well differ with you. The
case from the very start has been one of confu-
sion and notoriety. still think it was an inside
job what with so many things indicating it at
first, and later on so many of the help leaving
in cne way or another.
I don't recall that the testimony against
Hauptrnann was conclusive, that is, nothing
except that he had the hot money. Ordinarily,
don't think jury would have convicted him.
but in this trial Lindbergh so famous and so
much attention was centered on the case that
everybody wanted to get on the band wagon
including lawyers, jury, cops and everybody 1t
was publicity that convicted Hauptmann and
not facts. according to my way Of thinking
Had it been some poor mans son instead of
Lindberghs, the public never would have heard
anything about it.
I'm not taking Hauptmanns part. If he is
guilty he should be punished, but not until
they have stronger case against him.

NEW YORK
DAY by DAY
By O. O. Mcintyre

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-I notice
the restaurant called The Flying
Trapeze has given up its name.
It may have been an excellent
eatery. 1 wouldn't know. But the
name was too prophetic. Most of
us dining out have been expecting
any day to have a flying trapez-
ist kerplCp in cur soup.
If one has ever missed half

moron behind insisted on eatinS
peanut brittle with a defective
plate. there should be an apprecia-
tion of how hungry New Yorker
feels when the draft from an ada
gio dance turns his stealning onion
soup into consomme gele.
Too many cooks may spoil the
broth in the kitchen but in many
dining rooms it's something else.
More than once I've poised a fork
for an exquisite jab into noisette
de Veau when swish! all lights
flashed out. Except a baby spot
for a hussey who could sing as
well in the dark.
There are restaurants-Uhe Ritz
Colony and Moneta's for instance
where the cuisine is such there
is no need to divert attention.
Food itself takes the center of the
stage and the bows One does net
