EXCLUSION OF CHEAP LABOR

! The State of Colorado has called
out National Guardsmen to exclude
all INDECENT laborers and aliens who
seek to enter the state along a 36O
mile strip. 1t is charged that there
is a plan to import a large body OF
sO-called cheap labor"
How far is it right for the states
TO prevent the influx of people with
out means of support? They see
penniless people fiocking into their
commOnwealths. drawn by illusory
hopes of getting work. and many Of
them willing to work for starvation
wages.
Unemployed men and boys drift in
to large cities. dreaming that in
these vast centers of wealth they will
somehow be able to live. Not many
of them find work. but they can
claim support at public expense.
1t should be possible to discourage
this migration. since every move
these folks make usually leaves them
worse or Every state has all it |

people. 1t cannot care for those
rom other states who dump them

will hold that most people are indO-
lent by nature. Anyway there are
countless boys and girls who love
to doze and dream. They imagine
rainbow visions of the wonderful
things they are going to do. and the
grand fortunes that are coming TO
them without effort on their part.
They prefer dreams to working.
II a young person is allowed to
live along in that lOaiing way. he
never forms the work habit, and
work becomes more and more diff
cult. Whenever he tried to do any
thing, he is so clumsy and ineffective
that others get ahead of him. II he
gets a job. he usually loses it be-
cause he gets poor results.
Such people become chronic loaf
ers. They should be taught to work
when young. 1t is a dangerous
thing to allow a boy or girl to grow
up with these lOafing habits. Such a
person is likely to become a perma-
nent burden on his family and the
community.

SUCCESSFUL WOMAN FARMER

Miss Edna Peavy, so a news dis
patch informs us. took charge Of a
farm at Greenville. Ca. two years
ago following her fathers death. She
had had no training in farming. In
those two years she has paid of
many bills and put money in the
bank. Hard work. worrying. and
planning" is the way she describes
her life.
How comes it that such a woman.
without experience. can make a sue
cess at this strenuous occupation. at
which so many men fail to make
good? Her hard work no doubt
counted a lot. Probably also she
was very Observant and learned from
her experiences. Many men are
bright enough mentally. but show
some inability to see the causes of
their failures. So they keep making
the same mistakes over and over
again.

THE LOVE OF LOAFING

Has the depression promoted lazi-
ness and loafng? Henry Ford calls
attention to this question. and in re-
marks recently made at Washington
he said that many people had been
encouraged in 1aziness, and that peo-
pie will have to work harder in fu-
ture for the loafing that is now being
done.
Probably the great majority Of
people who have been receiving re-
lief want to work. and would do so
il they had a chance. But there has
been a large element who have a
natural disinclination for work. In
times like the past six years. when
relief funds are freely distributed, il
may be easier for many Of them to
live without working than It was in
the boom days.
What makes anybody lazy? Some

FEDERAL OR STATE RELIEF

There is a move in Congress to
have the responsibility for relief
turned over by the Federal govern
ment to the states. There are differ
ences of opinion as to how far the
states can handle this load without
aid from Washington. However,
there is much public sentiment in
favor of putting the state govern
ments in charge of this form of
spending.
When the Federal government
spends the money, the states and
cities shout for the largest possible
appropriation. The Federal officials
may do their best to keep the expen-
diture down, but it is almost i'm
possible to defeat this onslaught
from all over the country. II the
state governments had to supply at
least big share of this money them
selves. IT would be easier to head
off excessive demands.

New Deal Crazy-Quilt
BY Representative CLIFFORD R. Hope
of Kansas

BY Representative ClInord R. Hope
of Kansas
While numerous large corpora
tions and the brokers on the stoch
market are doing a nourlshing bus
iness and while the holders Of in
dustrial stocks have prOfited greatly
the farmer, the small business man
and the laboring man have been
standing still and the situation OF
the unemployed and those on relief
/ has not appreciably improved.
What is the reason the Roosevelt
program, after three years, has fall
ed to signally to bring recovery ex-
cept to the stock market and big
business?
Good intentions do not take the
place of common sense or good
Judgment. The present Administra-
tiOn has failed because it has not
had the ability to meet our present
day business an deeOnOmic prob
lens. The trouble is that no one has
been able to tell in what direction
we are going. There has been talk
of planned economy on the part OF
some of the Presidents advisers, but
to date there has been nothing which
could be called constructive plan
ming and certainly nothing resemb-
ling economy, no matter in what
sense you may use the word.
The planners do not get together
and the direction in which we have
been headed at any particular mo-
ment has depended entirely upon
which group of planners had last
gotten the ear Of the President.
The constant uncertainty in which
the country is kept by the sudden
moves of the President to the right
and to the left, as seems dictated by
political expediency, has a most I'M
settling effect upon business and in
dustry. Il has prevented a normal
natural expansion.
As long as there is uncertainty,
such as we have had for the past
three years, there will be no inclina- !
tion to explore new fields, to expert !
ment and to develop. That is what /
the country needs more than any
thing else today.
The most serious criticism of the /
New Deal is that it assumes we !
must freeze production in business
and in industry, but divide It up in
a different way than in the past.
Such a policy is not liberal and pro-
gressive, as New Dealers would have
you believe. It is essentially reac-
IiOnary.

Psychologist Says Fear Will
Not Force Hauptmann
80
to Confess.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,


NEW YORK, January 15.-Or. Jo-
seph Jastrow said today Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann has not shown any
signs of being Influenced" by psyche
logical factors which might force him
to tell, at the hour of his electrocu-
ton, the whole story" of the kidnap-
ing of the Lindbergh baby.
He is definitely of the secretive
type, the withholding type" said DR..
Jastrow, who ranks as one Of the
leaders in conservative psychology. II
should not expect a change in his at
titude''
DR.. Jastrow explained psychology
finds many exceptions to the general
belief a guilty personnel must face an
overpowering desire to confess after
all hope is gone.
Scriptures Factor.
Formerly, I think, the tendency
was stronger than it is today. The
damnation belief that man must do
something to save his soul. the influ-
enee of the scriptures and of the con-
fessional have been strong factors
toward confession.
"Hauptmann has not shown any
signs of being influenced by these fac
tors"
The convicted kidnap-slayer has
shown himself as more of psyche
pathic personality than less than the
average" DR.. Jastrow declared.
What he may be withholding do
not know. But not being normal, he
Is likely to 60 on withholding and
do not think we shall know the whole
story from him.
Ladder Evasion Cited.
There is a type of evasion which
Is pathological.
There are persons who like to swim
die. This type is more or less well
recognized. Many studies of the path
illogical evasion type have been made
on juveniles. Not so many have been
made on adults.
Personally, I do not expect any
thing from Hauptmann. His answers
about the ladder indicated tendency
toward evasion. No lawyer could get
him to make direct answers.
He did not wish to say, I have
never seen this ladder He did not

Two bonus bills have been vetoed
in the past by Mr.. Roosevelt, who ex-
pressed his opposition In no uncertain
terms. Intimates of the President
base their belief in a third veto on
his record.
From sources close to the President
it was said he will not be Influenced
by the fact that this is a campaign
year or by the overwhelming nature
Of the bills victory in the House and
the likelihood of a similar victory In
the Senate.
Consequences Feared.
In his veto message last year the
President said, Il do not need to be
a prophet to assert that if these (ad-
justed service) certificates. due in
lS45. are paid in full today, every
candidate for election to the Senate
and House of Representatives will in
the near future be called upon in the
name Of patriotism to support general
pension legislation for all veterans

the future welfare of the veteran.

this measure"
Nevertheless, rumors of presidential
acceptance Of the bill persist on Cap
itol Hill Preferring not to be quoted
by name. the same official who con-
sidered the President signing "a

that for the time being the bonus

sources, and that economic conditions
were improving so rapidly that paying

Senate Bill Substituted.
Prior to its 15-to-2 decision the

The latter measure was somewhat
similar in benefits, but specified no
means of payment.
Couzens said neither Morgenthau
nor Daniel w. Bell, acting director of
the budget, who appeared with him.
took any stand on the bonus proper.
He said the Treasury Secretary replied
he couldn't tell' when asked if the
Governments fiscal position could
stand cashing the bonus now.
He added. however, that Morgen-
thau. in responding to question, said
bonus payment, coming after the A. A.
A. decision wiping out revenue from
processing taxes, would mot help the
bond market"
He said Morgenthau included in the
s11 800 5000 figure $4,000. .OO0,O 900 if
the bonus is voted, another $4,000
100000 for relief which President
Roosevelt did not include in the new

utive listed as next years deficit and
$500 100000 of refunding operations

This would place the public debt at
s35, 500 900 900, exclusive of another
possible 81 900 900, 900 to make up for
processing taxes, at the end of next
fiscal year. Couzens quoted the Treas
ury head as testifying.
CouZens said the most astounding
thing" to him was the seeming in
difference of Congress to handing out
81 ,000. 900. 900 to the veterans in ex-
cess of the Governments obligation"
He said he was vigorously and un-
alterably' opposed to paying the bonus
before l945 maturity.
Chairman Harrison was all smiles
after the committee action, despite
Morgenthau's testimony.
