FRIENDSHIP TOUR

1t is a wholesome thing to have
our president go as an ambassador
of gOod will to neighbOr countries anC
work for a closer relationship and
friendly association. President Rose
welt, in his visit to South American
countries, certainly will give those
people a better understanding of us
and a warmer feeling of friendship
Not only is it good for our chief ex-
ecutive to visit among the neighbors
but we are favored with an extra
ordinary personality in President
Roosevelt. His smile has captivateG
Americans and we are sure it will
do the same to strangers.
President Roosevelt attended a
peace conference of over 20 nations
in South America and such a confer
ence can do much toward wardins
off an aggression. When a visit by
an official from one country to an
other is made in the proper spirit
of friendship and cooperation and is
not prompted by selfshness, it can
work for ultimate world peace, but
when greed creeps in and the visitor
has selfish motives, then great harm
and a setback to world peace can
take place.

Comic Relief EnfiUens Dreary Capital
=. Some Wit Unconscious Some
Vel Aimed

WASHINGTON-Into the hurly-burly. the
constant strain, and the partisan bitterness of
the capital there sometimes comes touch Of
comic relief which greatly relieves the tension
of life here
Much of the comedy is unconscious. Fre-
quently it is Congressman Maury Maverick of
Texas who introduces such wit and humor as is
obtained by design. Maverick has an idea that
laughter and ridicule are important weapons
Scott of California had introduced an amend
ment to forbid teaching or advocating the legls-
lative program of the American Liberty League
in Indian schools.
Il rise as the champion of the freedom of
speech in defense of the American Liberty
League" said Maverick. Does the gentleman
mean to tell me he intends to deny the pure
doctrines of James NJ. Beck and his pal, Newton
Baker who received $4,000 to decide the IVA
before it came into court and the doctrines OF
other impeccable and self-righteouS citizens for
the du Points and the holding companies from
being taught to our Indian children?
Does the gentleman mean he would prevent
the teaching to the Indian children of the doc
trine of Mr. Sixty Grand Shouse. who gets
salary and allowable expense of 100000 year?
Indians know a lot about horSes-they probably
know about Twenty Grand-but they should
know the du Pont horse known as Sixty Grand
NO Mr. Scott would let even the Liberty
League talk Would you deny these gentlemen
who claim to be sole guardians of the Constitu-
tion the right also to be guardians OF our indian
children?'
Probably destined to become famous as a
departure from the routine, dull committee re-
ports is Mavericks one-man bill permitting GER
tain American officials to accept medals bestowed
on them by some Latin American governments
Had l earned foreign medal in the late
against the German Imperial Government" said
he in the printed report, when We entered the
to end warS-there now being no wars and
with democracy thriving everywhere throughout
the world-I suppose should have worn it. But
this bill ought to be defeated.
Congress can legislate and debate on medals
and titles of nobility. This should give us pride
1t appears we cannot legislate on the welfare of
those who live from the so-tand all humanity
does)-for that is a mere local matter-hence,
the welfare of 1250OO,0O0 people is not within our
scope.
Nor can We provide naturally even for min
imum decent labor standards to protect states
against each other, or for millions of workers
whose lives and purchasing power the welfare
of the nation, and business depends =.
But dress our officers in foreign
medals from foreign governments; and that
we permit all our powers to be usurped, as ap-
pears likely, We can devote much of our time
to decorations Thus we pass our time :"
After that much sarcasm, Maverick proposed
a foreign decoration for every farmer, every
unemployed person. every starving glory" And
For Every Unfortunate Citizen-a Medal" since
Its probably unconstitutional to give them any,
thing to eat whereas Congress clearly has the
bemedaling power"
