NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
PERMANENT TRADE PROGRAM

Secretary of State Hull has crowned himself
with achievement in reopening world trade CHAM
nels through reciprocal trade agreements his pro-
gram in the emergency proved the proper remedy
now it remains in order to make permanent the
gains realized to convert the transitory structure
of executive agreements into permanent edihce
in American foreign policy based on treaties
The executive agreement is an extremely useful
device for attainment of immediate detectives
quickly i'm international relations when, because of
the vagaries of politics, treaties with the require
ment that they receive the "advice and consent"
of the senate might run into insurmountabe OBJ
stacles either in the foreign relations committee or
in the senate itself. The constitution gives the
president almost exclusive control of foreign re-
lations, but delegates to the senate certain con-
frmational functions with respect to treaties and
appointment of officials which clearly reveal the
intention of the nations founders to permit the
senate 70 share power over the bases of American
foreign policy. Now that the emergency in inter-
national trade is well on the way to elimination,
it is time to begin thinking about establishing the
new policy which has been so successful, on per-
manent basis and making tariff bargaining cor
nerstone of foreign policy.
Such step could be taken no better than by
replacement OF the eSeculNe aSfeemeh'o WIN PNi
manent treaties This could be carried out easily
by submission of the fourteen agreements already
concluded to the senate for approval This would
give effect to one of the chief principles OF our
structure namely, that the president
controls foreign affairs under check from the
senate. :.
The Trade Agreement Act of 1884, under which
the agreements have been concluded, is due to eX-
pire next June, and the question of renewal Will
arise before that time.-Washington 3D. c. Star

TIME FOR ACTION

No issue that the next congress will consider Will
be more important than the tax issue. And none
will affect so large proportion of the people
We have achieved considerable measure OF IN
dustral recovery The need for much OF the reiiei
spending of the last few years has been eliminated.
The time is here when we must, as nation, bal
ance the books and return to normal governmental
fiscal policies.
1t is unquestionably true that the burden OF tax
alton. plus the fear OF still heavier taxation IN the
future, is keeping industry from making even fast
er progress toward complete recovery
An investor who fears that the money he places
in an industrial enterprise, where it would create
wealth and Jobs and stimulate the entire business
structure may be virtually eaten up by taxation Is
naturally super-cautious.
The result is tight money" so far as many in
dustrieS are concerned.
The first step toward solving the fiscal problem
is to balance the budget.
The second step is to begin program to sys-
tematcally reduce our public debt.
The third step is to lower the tax load as soon
as possible.
All three of those steps are necessary, and each
is related to the other. They constitute the only
road toward sound government finance and normal
prosperity.

IN A POOR LIGHT

Edward, Duke of Windsor, the man who was a
king fares poorly at the hands of Henry L..
Mencken
In the Baltimore Evening Sun the writer calls
Edward "a poor fish who has brought his life to
complete disaster" and says sit will be no wonder
if he shoots himself before La Simpson shakes off
her shackles."
Mencken declares that the eX-king "has no one
to blame for his miseries, past and to come, but
himself He walked straight into the buzz saw, his
eyes to the front and whistling gaily. His prof.
ect of marrying La Simpson was only the climax
of long series of lesser jacknaperieS, all of them
unworthy of man holding responsible office III a
civilized state.
"Poor Edward made colossal bust of it and
came horribly to grief"
Mr. Mencken is given to vigorous words put nc
appears to be close to truth in this case.
AS more light is shed upon the BRIEF reign OIL
Edward the impression grows that nc was poorly
fitted for the throne.
The newsmagazine Time, for instance, paints
him as a strong willed heavy-drinking, hot-tem-
pered man who tried to buck both the English
cabinet and the established church and failed to
get away with it.
Doubtless the Simpson affair was only one of a
number of reasons, albeit the chief reason, why
the cabinet members were willing, and perhaps a
| good deal more than willing, that he abdicate.-

VIEWS OF ONE OF THE FOUR

IF there were a statewide referendum on the
liquor question in North Carolina the State would
go dry and then there would be the dickens to pay

Liquor Commission, in Wilson yesterday, comment
ing on the statement issued to the press the same
day by DR.. William Louis Poteat, of Wake Forest,
and president of the United Dry Forces in North
Carolina in which he proposed and advocated a
Statewide referendum for the settlement of a
statewide issue"
Solicitor Gillian voted for county control in a
4-3 split in the recent report of the liquor COM
mission on statewide referendum.

ought to be done is to let each county vote as they
please and leave the situation be for year or two

BETWEEN 1893 and 1893,
- Christopher Columbus had
made a second trip to the West In
dies and had explored new shores.
But his third journey in 1893
brought discomfort and mutiny
among two groups of his men, and
finally caused his own imprison-
nent on false charges.
Queen Isabella sent an officer OF
The royal household, Francisco de
Bobadilla, to investigate the

WASHINGTON. - T he 18th
" Congress, which meets Jan. S,
and President Roosevelt, who will
be inaugurated Jan. 20, will take
Office under the impetus of a
mandate" backed by a plurality
Of 100000 votes. So what?
1t will be difficult for this Con-
gress to avoid making history
even if it tries. For one thing,
this will be the first time pres
ident and a new Congress ever
have come into Office within three
months of election time.
The Norris "lame duck" amend
ment to the Constitution is now
fully operative, and now may be
tested the theory that popular
government is best attained when
the federal elective officers come
fresh from victory at the polls to
take their seats.
Never before has one political
party dominated both House and
Senate so overwhelmingly as will
the so-called Democratic party in
the next two years. If the preSi-
dent is to have an effective oppo-
sition, it must come from Demo
cratic ranks.
It seems a prepoSterouS idea
that any piece Of legislation might
pass against Roosevelts wishes
It is likely-but far from certain
that Roosevelt can have from
Congress whatever he demands.
ROOSEVELT and congressional
- leaders are in'huddles as this
is written. But the administra.
tons legislative program will be
developed gradually as the ses.
sion progresses, rather than all al
once.
Measures to restrict the u. S
Supreme Courts veto power over

and hour legislation. fedora

lures ana pudgct-palancing, ncu
trality, crop insurance and farm
tenancy, government reorganiza-
tion--all those issues will be
prominently before Congress.
The safest prediction is that
this session will be extremely
busy and that it will not be short.
To be settled at the outset is
bitter contest for the majority
leadership Of the House between
Sam Rayburn of Texas and John
j. O'Connor of New York. Speak
err William H. Bankhead of Ala
bama will be chosen again with
out opposition.
Roosevelt has announced fatty
that he is taking no part in this
battle. but so many of his con-
fidantes and liaiSon men are
working for Rayburn that il
O'Connor, Tammany man, is
chosen, insiders will conStrue his
victory as licking for the adj
ministration and a portent OF
trouble ahead.
SENATE leadership will remain
~ the Same-Joe Robinson of Ar
kansas as floor leader, Pat Har-
rison of Mississippi as whip, and
Charlie McNary of Oregon titular
leader of the small Republican
minority.
Vandenberg of Michigan is eX-
pected to be the outstanding Re-
publican spokesman and will have
as much as anyone to do with
shaping the programs which Re-
publicans hope to formulate Tor
use in the campaigns Of 1888 ard
1910.
The minority leader on the
House side will again be Cor
gresham Bert Smell of New
York.
The 18th Congress will be Mo.
liberal than the 74th. especially II
you count in an increased number
of those who professedly are
strong New Dealers, But there is
little chance that Townsendites,

lists will throw monkey wrenches

DEATH OF U. S. PRESS GREATLY
EXAGGERATED
(By BRUCE CATION

A great deal has been said, since the
presidential election, about the supposed
decline in influence of the American news
paper. It has been pointed out that a
heavy majority of newspapers urged the
election of Gov Landon and that heavy
majority of citizens thereupon went out
and reelected President Roosevelt.
Consequently, we are told. the press has
lost its punch and is just waiting for some
one to carry it out of the ring.
go. Bruce Bliven, editor of the New Repuo-
lic-and, on occasion, one of the sharpest
critics of the preSS-discuSsed this point in
recent speech in Philadelphia. He con-
Guided that the death of the press, like
Mark Twain's, has been greatly eXagger-
ated.
What the papers did with their editorial
columns, Mr.. Bliven pointed out, has little
to do with the case. If, in'their news COL
umns, they gave fair and accurate cover
age of the actual news about Mr.. Roose-
velt's administration, they were fulfilling
the function of free press.
This, he reports, they did do, in the
main, very impartially.
3 Beyond this, Mr.. Bliven points out that
the American press is on the whole the
freest in the entire world.
:. Some two-thirds of the worlds inhabi-
tants - 1,4OO, 900, 900 people - live today
under complete censorship. They can read
in their papers only that which the gov
eminent chooses to let them read. The
kind of free discussio nand reporting OF
public issues which the American press
gave us in the last campaign is simply i'm
possible for them.
Approximately 450, 900, 600 other people
live under what might ecalled a semi
censorship. Their press is technically free,
but actually is subject TO greater or less
pressure and interference by the govern
ment or by private interests.
Only about 25,O0O,000 people enjoy a
free press. Most of these people live in
America or Great Britain-and it might be
noticed that the British press has just CIV
en- us an extremely unhappy example of
self-censorship in connection with the
Simpson case.
What all this boils down to is that Amer
lea is just about the only great country
left in which you can sit down to read your
paper without having someone peerins
over your shoulder and blocking out pas
sages which he thinks would not be good
for you.
Your editor may advocate things you dc
not like, on his editorial pages; in his new:
columns he gives you the facts so that yor
can make up your mind for yourself
which, as an Independent American, yor
are more than likely to do anyhow, no mat
ter how eloquent his editorials may be.
And the ability to do that is privilege
which you share with mighty few othe'
people on earth. The fact that you have
it is all the testimony you need as to thu
American press continued freedom - ant
