scabbard against buckle and kit, not bells. And no
bells ring today in Mexico for Cortez. Ernie Pyle
wrote back that he couldn't find single statue of

But it hasn't very much to do with civilization
The civizing of the Ethiopians, and the Manchur-

for thousands of years. more slowly, perhaps, than
1t has in other parts of the world.
1t will continue to go on, everywhere despite wars

creeds and ways of life learn how to live beside each
other, and exchange their thoughts and goods in

blessings of tank and poison gas.
And let hope that the civilization of Italy also
will not be retarded.

SPOILS VS.. MERIT

+ ID EP. MELVIN MAS of Minnesota once showed
great personal courage by successfully demand
ing that spectator in the House gallery drop gun
which he had brandished He has showed even
greater courage by introducing bill making it a
felony for any member of Congress to participate in
Federal patronage.
THE greatest threat to freedom in the United
States" he says lis not Communism, but the spols
system of patronage"
We agree, and we doff our hat to this congress
man for his courage in attacking an evil in the
midst of which he stands His is not the valor of
ignorance, for he knows that he assails a system
( entrenched by custom and, so far impregnable
against the efforts of reformers for years.
It is fundamental to our form of government that
the legislative and executive branches be kept sep
arae. But Representatives and Senator'S continue to
build up personal machines by their ability to force
friends and party supporters on to administrative
jobs. Able well-traned men and women stand in
line and wait while less desirable applicants armed
with pull from this or that congressman are
favored. AS Mr. Mas says, congressmans office
has become little more than free employment bu
packed with job-seekers, who prevent his doing
his real work as a legislator.
Mr.. Mas fellow congressman probably will not
treat his proposal seriously. They not likely to
visit punishment upon themselves for doing what
their predecessors in both parties have done for
years. But Mr.. Mas, we believe is backed by the
general sentiment of the country.

to prevail in country town. The postoffice was
more than place to get your mail You met
friends there and exchanged tidbits of gossip The
pens didn't write, but singing and whistling could
be heard most of the day., and when the general
delivery opened the face on the inside beamed
royal welcome.
We could use some of that friendliness in the
city. Franklin D. ought to give some lessons in
charm to certain of his underlngs.
My most recent experience, which is the reason
for this outburst, with fellow who sells United
States Baby Bonds and was I squelched? 1t is true

bulge the national debt, but was unprepared for
the complete disregard with which my little venture
into finance was received.

Baby Bonds?" asked in a timid voice, expecting
to see at least CLEAN of interest on his impressive
face. But the fellow never changed expression. He
looked me up and down as if I we're worm asking

ly reached up to shelf, slapped two-page eaflet
down in front of me, turned his back and stroled
off.

"THE GREAT ZIEGFELD

:" ME Great ziegfeld," now running at Loews
II Theater, may cause stage producers new worry
movie competition.
This film probably answers the challenge of stage
productions more successfully than any previous
movie.
Legitimate producers have contended that the
screen never could replace the stage because of the
lack of personal contact with the audience 1.-THE
Great ziegfeld" all but overcomes that.
BY lavish expenditures for sets, stars and movie
mechanics which the so-called legitimate theater
could afford this film has established itself at
the top of musical films.
In other ways, "The Great Ziegfeld" is an inno-
walton. 1t runs more than three hours divided into
two acts with the regular finale at the end of the
first "act."

EMPLOYMENT GAINS

THE International Association of Public Employ
ment Services will have something to talk
about when it holds its twenty fourth annual con-
vention here May 27-29.
That something is the steady gain in employ
ment For the third consecutive month, Indiana
pay rolls and employment showed an increase in
April. Employment gained 13 per cent over
march, pay rolls 81 per cent, man hours 33 per
cent Usually there is seasonal loss at this time
of year.
The trend over the country is in the same di-
recton. Latest Department of Labor figures showed
factory employment in March increased 225.oo0 and
weekly pay rolls $1oOO00OO
But with millions still UNEMPLOYED the basic
problem remains. The convention here will deal
with unemployment insurance and with the need
for new industries to supply new jobs.

European air lines craft fly at

You may or may not be aware. !"
Mr.. Vidal told the committee, that
many air line accidents are actually
a result of a desire or urge to COM
plete flights or schedules. Also. it is
quite natural that there is a COM
paTison of pilots ability not only
among the pilots within their own
ali line organization, but among air
line organizations as well. The
pilots jobs themselves are few and
highly competitive.
Add to these factors the fact
that the pilots pay is drastically re-
duced If most of the flights are not
completed, the fact that the air line
receives no revenue from either mail
or passengers when the flight is cam
celed. and the fact that aviation and
the public demand progress, and we
have developed, whether consciously
or unconsciously, Intentionally or
unintentionally, an unconquerable.
though admirable urge to complete
the flights if possible. This is an ex-
ceedingly difficult situation and re-
SponSibility for its Improvement

officials. bureau officials, and
others"

that Henry Ford has proved The OPP
posite to be true. He also mentions
that in the IVA area, sales of cleo
trical equipment have increased
more than any other place, because
Of low-price current. He forgets,
however, that Ford, through his
pioneering in efficiency is respons-
ible, more than any other man in
this country, for chronological I'M
employment and the army of needy.
And regarding the IVA he does not
mention what is to become of the
coal miners, the stove factories, the
hand-pump factories and the ice
plants which formerly took care of
the needs of the people in the Ten
nessee Valley.
The basic idea behind Mr.. Clap
per's reasoning is the old fallacy
that mass production under cap
italism leads to prosperity through
lower prices. The truth is that
mass production is only possible
by means of labor -displacing ma
chinery which, in spite of Mr..
Fords opinion, creates unemploy-
ment, and consequently makes
mass consumption impossible. That
wrong idea, that more machinery
results in more employment, still
forms the ABC of conservative
thought, but it is a myth, based
upon superficial glance at the
progress of this country, without a
thought that perhaps something
else might be the cause.
The real reason for the apparent
success of capitalist production is
the enormous expansion which took
place while the country was being
built, an expansion which had to
stop when America emerged from
her childhood. So great was this
infantile expansion that it more
than compensated for the increased
displacement of manpower. This,
Mr.. Clapper, is the simple truth
which you and millions of others
either fail to discover or refuse
to admit.
The President is correct in his
diagnosis, but his remedy is insult
ficient. Until the day dawns when
production for use takes the place
of production for profits, we shall
have to wait in vain for prosper
ity."

playing politics by favoring the
Democratic voters with the best
jobs, etc.
This isn't SO, because I happen
to know who passes out the jobs to
the various projects of the Works
Progress Administration in the city
of indianapolis and in Marion
County. He is a Republican and
was appointed by the Hoover Ad-
ministration
He has appointed or given jobs
