Eeron said, "the working man should
ask himself whether it is better to &c
along working for Mr.. Roosevelt at
w. P. A. wages of S44 a month or
whether he would rather work for
'intrenched greed at higher wages.
Senator Black would give us the
Impression" Bargeron said, that the
issue is between Roosevelt and the
duPorts. Well, if that is the issue, the
questions for the working man to de-
eide is whether the duPonts do moi

the speaker continued. "Mr. Roosevelt
saws that if we will let him continue
In Office he will give us an electrical
washing machine and radio to play
while we milk our COWS. My belief is
that most of us would rather see a
situation brought about by which we
could make enough money to take the
washing machine and radio or leave it
MIR. Roosevelt, if he is continued In
Office, will also give the working man
restatement of his inalienable right to

doesn't mean anything unless it is a

BRITISH PRESS IS PAYING FOR SIN or
SUPPRESSION
fRu RRrCE CATTON)

If The faces Of the British newspaper d.
rsctors arc not by now as red as an extra
rare slice Of the roast beef Of old England
il can be only because they have complete
~ forgotten how to blush.
They have not only committed the one
great objectionable blunder for which q
newspapsrman cannot be forgivsn-dozed
of 10 sleep and missed a whale of story
but they have helped to turn teapot
tempest into a storm that shook the Brit
sh throne.
And they did il all because they forgot
that the nswspaperman's one great. pre-
eminent function is TO tell the public what
is going on in the world. From being re-
porters. they promoted themselves to cen
zors and moral guardians. The result is
fhr grandest Crack.up which any set OF
pditors in free country ever took.
Since the errors one democracy makes
Tan be highly instructive to the people OF
% neigbboring democracy, the course OF
the Brihsh editors in the last few weeks is
worth little extended examination here
i'm America.
The great Simpson case began to perco-
late gently into American news columns
Iyear or more ago. Several months ago 1t
moved out to the front page. and by the
middle Of the fall the entire American pub
lie knew that the king of England was
deeply ensmored of a young woman from
Baltimore who had divorced one husband
and was about to divorce another.
But all this happened in complete Sc
crscy, rs far as the people Of England were
concerned Their papers ignored every
line Of it. Gossip doubtless circulated free
~ in society circles. but the ordinary man
i'm the street had no inkling whatever that
his monarch might he considering mar
rage To twice-divorced. forcign-born
Commoner.
The inevitable result of all this was that,
when the lid finally did come off. It came
OF with hang, The British public had
no chance TO prepare itself. IL had 20
chance to think things over and weigh the
question thoughtfully. ....r.,.
Overnight IL found itself presented with
a grave constitutional crisis. which. be-
cause of the unexpeetedness OF its arrival
had to be considered emotionally rather
than intellectually. 80.
For All this the British can thank their
newspapers. -
There are plenty of excellent people II
Amerjea who denounce our newspapers
for irving space to unpleasant news-crim'
news. for instance. Suppose the American
psbefs had followed the British example
over period of years, so that no Amer
can had knewn anything about big city
oaaestefism until some such spectacular
event as the Kansas, City Union Stauoi
massse ere forced the whole thing out IN TN

our democracy to its very foundations?
Bear the parallel in mind. The britasi
