GRIMLY HUMOROUS TINGE


 The old adage of politicians is that If you can't lick your enemy, join him.. William Randolph Hearst bitter prediction foe of the New Deal has hired the Presidents son-in-law, John Boettger, to publish his Seattle Post Intellgencer following settle ment of a three-months strike on that paper.
 MT Boettiger is veteran newspaper man having been assistant chief of the Chicago Trbunes Wash iagton bureau post he left in 1884 to become asss tant to Will Hays motion picture "czar" His wife the former Anna Roosevelt Dal may join the staff of the Post Intelligencer. MT. Hearst indicated that he would not interfere in the future policies of the paper.
 Another member of the Roosevelt family Elliot is vice president of Hearst Radio Inc, in charge of the Southwestern division at Fort Worth, Texas Re- gently the engagement of Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr and Ethel du Pont member of a family that gave the President considerable opposition during the cam paign, announced.
 Frank Kent widely known political writer, makes his interesting conclusion:
 It will not affect MT. Roosevelts policies
 or his political fortunes in any way to have
 members of his family on the Hearst payroll.
 And it will not affect the policies of the Hearst
 papers, which supporting MT. Roose-

WILL EDWARD MAKE MORE HISTORY?

Giving England one of the most momentous events in her history and the rest of the world some interesting reading for few days, Edward VIII has abdicated the British throne favor of his brother "Bertie," who probably will be known George VI.
 Over the channel in France, the comedy 'Amercan divorcee, Waly Simpson, awaits the ex- monarch, who figures she worth more than the throne of the British Empire Two ex-husbands might dispute that point but nevertheless the frothy angle whess the romantic appetite Not since King Carol of Roumania had his moments with his titan -haired beauty in Paris few years ago, has there been so much intrigue with romantic flavor in the court circles of Europe.
 But aside from the age-old report of a nice lad much behind the abdication of the popular monarch? Can it be that the people of England are getting and democratic c-minded and are getting a little tired of carrying obsolete piece Dsf political machinery like King who actually hasn't ay lone powers of government left? It is the avowed temper of their abdicating ruler. He has often de- .clared he didn't want to be King. There is nothing to show that the brother who succeeds him is par ticularly keen about the position
 Edward is going away for a while. But he will still be Englishman. What is to keep him from returning to England getting himself elected to the House of Commons and advocating a Republic? Stranger things have happened
 Edward is history-maker. The rank and file of the British Empire are for him. He would have all the liberal support and liberal support is becoming and a potent factor in government, not enly in England but throughout the world

 Officeholders of many classes now come under planetary influ- ence that are fortunate. Taxpay- CTS will be less faultfinding than formerly.

Funds for WPA

tt-a (New York Times
 Recent events clearly foreshadowed the Presi- dents announcement that he will ask Congress to vote more funds for ,WPA. Some months ago he estimated that additional appropriation of S2000 100000 would be needed to carry the workreef pro-
 through to the end of the current fiscal year, and it with this probability in view that he then asked Congress for 00OOreserying the right to seek supplementary appropriation later in it should be needed. He now finds that it will be needed partly because the problem of industrial un employment has not yet been solved and partly because unexpected drought forced WPA to spend con-
 iderable portion of its funds for relief in the farm It is these factors which have forecast the step announced recently. Presumably, the funds to be sought of Congress will be in the neighborhood of $5000000O0
 On the larger aspects of the relief problem the Presidents statement was distinctly hopeful He spoke of the substantial gains made recently in re- employment of decline of 28 percent in the numter of those carried the relief rolls and of the ncreas ing spirit of mutual helpfulness' between the Gov ernment and private industry in the all-important task of providing jobs for those who lack them Grant ed a continuation of present trends, it is reasonable to look for reduction of relief costs in the budget on which the Administration is at work-the budget for the twelve months beginning next July
 This is not only because the relief rolls def iniely declining. Equally encouraging is an appar- ent shift in the fiscal policy of the Governments shift away from spending for thesake- spending G spending for the purpose of prming tthe pump" of industry and toward spending only to the extent that it is actually required by the relief situation Various recent comments by Administration officials have suggested that such shift is in the making. Not the least interesting is statement by MT Ickes He thinks that point has been reached at which we should immediately set about to rerench all along the line, and confesses his "impatence" when he is pressed to approve publicworks projects for States and communities to which large of pros perity has returned Considering the fact that this from the very prince of pump primers, its significance is not to be ignored

It is true it may leave bad taste in the mouths of some and it is certainly discomfortine to the pro-New Deal papers which, during the cam- paign, made a speciality of lambasting MT.

A Toy Is Not a Luxury
Philadelphia Record)

(PnlaQelpnla RecOrQ)
 Our compliments to Superintendent James s Owens, of the New York State School of Industry, for his suggestion that "an occasional baseball bat or candy. bar for children of families on relief would reduce juvenile delinquency"
 These children Owens points out, often lack even the most ordinary toys which other children have and, result they go out and rustic those things for themselves and get into trouble
 There's human understanding and plain common in this suggestion Our problem of feeding the jobess has been pressing, tremendous that the juvenile viewpoint hasn't been given enough atten- tion The notion that toys luxures is stupid one.
 A toy-some kind of a toy-is just as essential psy choogcaly to the self-respect of youngster job is to his father home to his mother.
