HHILADELPHIA, June 27.-The
- Democratic convention has
unanimously ratified, in 1886.
- a coup de'etat which occurred
in 1888. In that year, Mr.. Roosevelt,
faced by national emergency in the
economic field, threw away the plat

ernment in the social and economic
field The Chief Executive bcame the
leader and formulator Of policy; the
costs of Government became greater
than ever in the peace time history
Of this or any other nation, and the
number OF officials increased prodi-
giously, both by the creation of new
departments and by the increase in
the activities Of old ones. Some de-
partments more than doubled the
number Of their employees.
Original Reason Given.
The first explanation and defense
of this policy was that it was necessary
to end the def1ation and get money
into circulation again, by any means
possible. Normal purchasing power
having failed as the result Of a world
wide economic crisis, it was important,
so it was argued, to create 1t artificial
ly. 1t was the function of Govern
ment, when private credit was frozen
by panic, to unlock the gates by the
generous extension of Government
credit. When the emergency had
passed, Government would retreat and
retire from much of the field that
it was occupying.
If the Governments own figures
are correct, the figures upon which
they base their claim to a return of
economic recovery and prosperity,
then the economic crisis is practically
over. We approach normalcy. But
the new platform, while boasting this.
admits no intention of retiring any
where On the contrary, new frontiers
are envisaged.
No longer are we to work under the
Presidents leadership for National in
dustry recovery or emergency relief.
We are to contemplate a permanent
emergency, which will only be solved
when every American has won, through
the instrumentality of Government,
comfortable and sanitary home.
well paid job, the certainty of pro-
lection in every crisis OF his existence:
perpetual mitigation of his debts;
economic security from the cradle to
the grave.

Utopia Is Sworn.

This Utopia is to be achieved, if
possible, by individual effort, by the
equalizing Of opportunity. But II the
individual fails to seize the oppor-
tunity, then the State will protect him
against want. To this end we shall
manage the currency and extend Fed
eral powers, inside the Constitution,
If possible. and by changing the Con-
stitution If necessary.
1t is interesting that Mr.. Roose-
velt's platform does not advocate a
constitutional amendment, but sticks
to the theory that the Constitution
has been, in the last three years, mis-
interpreted. Since the prevailing in
terpretations plainly make any po-
itical program as this one impossible
of realization, one can only surmise
that the administration is counting on
q number of deaths, or some miracu-
lous conversions.
The thesis of the platform is that
it contains a series of self evident
truths, but are they self-evident? Is
it not necessary to stop, think, in
deed to ponder very carefully indeed.
whether they are self-ev1dent? For
if they are self-evident, Americans
have been blind for $50 years. Is it
self-evident that it is the business Of
all society, working through Govern
ment, to maintain the fertility Of
every individual farmers soil by Gov
ernment subsidy? Is is self-evident
that it is the business of all society.
working through Government, TO see
that every man has a job; that if he
fails to find it in private employment
Government will see that he gets one
at prevailing rates Of wages?
The Past an Illusion.
Is 1t self-evident that it is the
business of all society, working
through Government, to see that every
man and woman lives in a house
which is "adequate?" Is 1t self-evident
that everybody is entitled to universal
security which shall constantly be kept
in step with increasing productive
capacity? And Is it self-evident, as
this platform seems 20 imply, that all
Of these things would have been ac-
complished long ago If it had not
been for the concealed facism" of a
few "malefactors of great wealth."
Above all, Is it self evident that
this Utopia can be achieved with rep
resentative Government, with votes
in the hands Of the beneficiaries, and
with ownership remaining in the
hands Of the people who have ac-
quired it, by fair means or foul? If
that is self-evident then a great
light has dawned upon the world.
Then the dreams Of wishful thinkers
have become the new reality. Then
the class struggle is an illusion. the
oxford group has conquered and God
is not only in His Heaven, but IN the
White House.

CAMP READY
IN JUNE
Plans Being Drawn and
Work to Start Soon,
Allen Says

Answering criticism of delay
in construction of a summer
health camp at Bald Eagle Hill
with $4,000 of WPA funds for
125 tubercular children. Com
missioner George E. Allen and
his chief assistant in local works
projects, William c. Cleary, to-
day gave assurance that plans
would be ready for approval of
the Board OF Public Welfare
within the next ten days.
Both Commissioner Allen and
Mr.. Cleary said the delay had
been caused by a dispute over
the type of buildings to be con-
structed. WPA officials h a d
urged the construction of indi-
vidual log cabins for each Of
the 125 children, but the Wei
fare Board and the District
tuberculosis Association urged
one building.
One Building Wins
The latter group won out, and a
building with four wings will be
erected.
Another dispute arose over who
would draw the plans. 1t was urged
that the municipal architect of the
District should do this work, but,
since this would entail additional
expense, WPA officials favored
their own engineering department.
WPA officials won, and plans are
now being drawn by Leon Grant,
of their staff.
After the welfare board approves
the plans, if it does. Mr.. Cleary
said he will be able to put WPA
men to work on the project within
48 hours. If there are no further
bitches, Mr.. Cleary said the camp
would be ready for occupancy on
time in June.
No Cost to City
The camp will not cost District
taxpayers a penny. It is financed
through the SIS, 200 of WPA funds
advanced by the Federal Govern
ment, and the tuberculosis Asso-
citation has $4,000 for it's operation.
The camp will replace the pres
ent one, which accommodates only
so children, on the grounds of the
local tuberculosis Hospital.
The ground is owned by the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, which has given ap-
proval to the camp and is ready
to approve the building plans. The
site is near Blue Plains, D. C.

HEARST RADIO
AGREEMENT
IS TOLD
RosenzWeig on Stand
Reveals WMAL Sale
Understanding

Refusal If the heirs of the late
M. A. Leese, local optician and
owner of radio station WMAL to
fulfill an agreement to sell the
studio to Eearst Radio Inc, was
challenged as "capricious" in Dis
trict Supreme Court today.
The term was held by Mannheim
RosenzWeig, New York counsel for
William Randolph Hearst, while
testifying on the witness stand be-
fore Justice Jennings Randolph.
Tells of Agreement
Rosenzweig, who was acting
both as counsel for the Hearst
interests and as a witness, told
the court # negotiations that fol-
lowed the signing by the Leese
heirs. on January II, 1885. Of an
agreement which the plaintiff
charges is an actual contract of
sale.
Asked by Defense Counsel
George E. Hamilton, jr., why the
heirs did not sign a formal and
final contract for the change in
ownership in WMAL, Rosenzweig
said he did not know"-because
the entire trial is based on that
point.
Asserting the agreement was
merely memorandum of nego-
tiations," the defense questioned
Rosenzweig closely, but the promi-
nent New York attorney informed
the court time after time that
it was his understanding through
out numerous conferences with
the Leese heirs and their attor-
ney, Thomas P. Littlepage, that
the station was to be sold
to Hearst Radio. Incorporated.
Understanding Told
A later witness, Raymond F. Nc
Cauley, attorney associated with
RoSenZWeig, told the court it was
the distinct understanding of the
Hearst representatives during the
negotiations that the Leese heirs
were to turn over the 1000 shares
of stock which formed the basis
of the ownership of the radio sta
ton.
He said that the only difficulty
that seemed to present itself to the
Leese heirs was the question of
how the agreed purchase price of
the Station-$25O.0 O0-was to be
paid. He indicated that he be-
lieved the heirs ready to fulfill
their part of the bargain, but that
the income tax and other matters
caused some discussion as to the
method of payment.

Eight million women have had to al

making an engagement - avoiding
any strenuous activities on certain
days.
Today, a million escape this regular
martyrdom because they have &C
cepted the aid of Midol. A tiny tab
let, white and tasteless, is the secret
of the eighth woman'S poise and COM
fort at this time.
Are you martyr to regular paint
Must you favor yourself, and save
yourself, certain days of every month";
Midol might change all this. Might
have you your confident self, leading
your regular life, free from periodic
pain and discomfort.
The smallest degree of relief you
might get from MidOl means great
deal to your comfort.
Midol is taken any time, preferably
just before the expected pain. This
precaution often avoids the pain al
together. Yet, Midol is not a narcotic.
