Well, last week, Arthur Brisbane,
one of the worlds greatest colum- v
nists (writes the column on the left c
side of the front sheet of the Phoe- a
nix Gazette) mentioned the fact t
that Germany was sending her spe- t
cialists to. America to study our t
methods of dairying, farming, min q
ing, preserving, and manufacture +
ing. Mr.. Brisbane thinks they should t
send some intelligent men over here r
to see the good and constructive T
qualities of the Jews, and especially
the American-born Jews. Wonderl
why he doesn't mention the fact {
that a few intelligent Americans
should take little time off and I
study the good and constructive 1
qualities of the American Negro. &
About the only thing the American
White man has for the Negro is the
labor they can get, as cheaply as
possible, and then race discrimina
tion and prejudice, lynching, and
segregation. The Jews were not
treated a helluva lot worse than {
that in Germany, or can any race
that is rapidly progressing as fast
as the Negro be treated any worse
than that anywhere.
Possibly that is one Of the things
that is wrong with the whole world
today. Everybody is too darn busy
thinking of someone else, and TAX
ing care of someone else's business
that his own is going to hell as fast
as possible. Charity begins at Home.

Anne was satisfied she was telling
the whole truth. Lukes attitude later
proved this. However, it did not ex-
plain the reason for a change in his
will. And now she thought Of the
other reason for her journey there,
the principal reason.
"Tecl,." she began cautiously, why
do you call me Nikki?"

"You have had trouble" Tecla cried.

Tecla nodded. She looked about the

home, and smiled. It was spotlessly

At home Anne sank into the worn
wooden rocker. She didn't stop to
analyze the difference she felt between
Tecla and the other servants.
Tecla she had known only in the
years when she was dependent upon
her. The other servants, whom she
liked no less, had, as she had grown,
assumed the places of those to be
commanded. Tecla had never lost her
place of the one to be obeyed, in
Anne's mind.

Anne was satisfied she knew more,
but she was also satisfied with what
she had learned. She would stay near
ard gradually she would learn more.
Now she relaxed into the chair, con-
scious Of the warmth that penetrated
to her chilled marrow, of the simmer
ing tea kettle, the cozy cracking Of
the fire and the pattering rain on the
window panes.
'Nikki, dinner you had?" Tecla
asked suspiciously as she looked at the
pale face of the girl.

the ground that they lost this
amount by the governments gold
policy forbidding them to cash
their gold notes for gold.
Government attorneys assert
that even if the claimants should
win verdict in the Court of
Claims, they could not collect in
as much as Congress has barred
the door to appropriations for
paying damage claims arising
from such suits.
Real motive behind the So suits
is to maneuver a new review, of
the dollar devaluation act by the
Supreme Court. The Supreme
Court had denied claims to dam
ages by the plaintiffs on the
ground that they had not proved
any losses. The pending suits are
attempts to substantiate such
claims. If successful the way will
then be open to bring the whole
issue again before the Supreme
Court.
Several foreign firms are among
the So claimants. One of the suits
revolves around a $40 gold note;
John M. Perry, the plaintiff,
claims the government owes him
$1912.50 in interest accrued since
the date the Treasury refused to
redeem his note in gold.
The test case is. expected to be
the one brought by Robert A.

PWA, which carried on housing
operations under Title II of the
Recovery Act, which accepted the
ruling at once by limiting it's
building to sites where the land
could be obtained without litiga-
ton.
The case probably will not af-
feet the present PWA policy of
making loans and grants to local
and state authorities, in whose
name the project is carried for
ward under Federal specifications.
The four Guffey act cases, two
from the District of Columbia
courts and two from Kentucky,
are to be argued the week of
March 9. Here also there is a
strong chance for New Deal
defeat, although the Kentucky
court upheld the whole act, and
the District of Columbia court
knocked out wage, hour and COL
lective bargaining provisions, but
upheld the rest of the law as a
valid regulation of commerce.
The part of the Schechter de-
cision which knocked out hour
and wage provisions of the codes
as beyond Federal power, and the
AAA ruling that farm production
is state and not a Federal ques-
ton, are the principal menaces to
the Guffey Act.

All of which, while possibly regrettable from the
point of view of good government, is to be
pected in campaign year.
While such strategy will aid in anesthetizing
the public to the stark fact that day the
New Deal bill must be paid, it will not entirely
smother the fact that we still have upward of
100000 unemployed who must be supported
That problem hasn't had the attention and dis
cussion it deserves Government officials are mainly
concerned with getting the money to carry relief
from year to year.
VET Harry Hopkins and all others in contact with
l. the unemployment situation recognize the
prospect of supporting 900 or more indefinitely
The simple Republican remedy of scrappng the
New Deal and going back to the free-for-all grab
which ruled before 1888 won't solve the problem.
Debate later in this session relief can be
rescued from the status of ill-tempered
squawk over the cost Senators and Representatives
will take that opportunity to discuss the underlying
problem and stimulate public thought as to what
fected in floor debate later would pay dividends in
national good. The alternatives have not yet been
sufficiently impressed upon the mind of the business
world
We face two possible courses
l. Private industry must absorb existing unem
ployment.
2. Or else the government must support the un-
employed and send the tax bill to industry
MERELY returning to normal business activity.
1V1 to 1929 levels, wouldn't solve the prob
lem That would still, according to the best esti-
mates, leave at least 100000 unemployed Even
in 1929 out of ten families received less than
$500 year-or less than the amount necessary for
a decent living.
There is a tendency to blame this surplus of la
Dor on increased mechanization. Those who have
studied the problem dismiss that complaint except
as 1t applies to temporary dislocations.
After a study of this question, the National IN
dustrial Conference Board reports that the
NOUS increases of the individual workers output
made possible by modern machinery have produced
a higher standard of living which would not other
wise have been possible.
THE answer to the problem of unemployment
does not lie in placing restrictions the use of ma
chn;ery but in increasing the volume of production
which would increase the purchasing power of the
people and lead to full unemployment" the board
states.
II is the means for increasing production and
mass purchasing power which needs thorough dis
cusson now, both in Washington and among in
dustrialists There is to believe we shall soon
be hearing 1t.

Two important housing cases,
four combined cases on the Guffey
Coal Act, from one to three Sc
curities regulation cases, the
Bankruptcy and Railroad Retire
ment Acts, a major test of the
Administrators power policy and
perhaps one of the injunction
suits brought to stop the Wagner
Labor Board before it acts, are
on the list.
The court may dismiss some of
them on jurisdictional grounds
instead of ruling on their merits,
but all of the cases which reach
the stage of oral arguments prob
ably will be decided before the
summer recess, as in past years.
