Selected Poem
RACING YACHTS
(Elizabeth Fleming in the Christian
 Science Monitor.)


 Science Monitor) All night the tall masts soar and sway Above the houses round the bay Tall masts that carried like @ cloud Their spread of canvas high and proud, Down-channel, while the summer gales Awake to thunder in the sails. Now at their anchors weight they strain, Dreaming their victories again, Feeling the breeze's eager urge, The cleaving waters backward surge, The thrill and rapture of the chase AS down the open firth they race. And I, who watched them in their pride, Now see them on the starlit tide Turning and tossing in their rest As if pursuing still the quest: The wavelike beauty of their frames The flowing music of their names, Hold me in spell and all the air Seems vibrant with their presence there.

Labor Wants More Money
for La Toilette Inquiry

WHILE it was figuring what to
w do in the matter of the sus-
pended c. I. o. unions, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in conven-
ton at Tampa dealt with a number
of other topics. Among these was
the adoption of a report of the COM
mittee on legislation demanding of
congress additional appropriations
for the special senatorial sub-com-
mittee investigating violations of
civil liberties. This group, headed
by La Toilette of Wisconsin, has
confined its Investigations almost
wholly to activities of employers in
combating unions or in protecting
their plants against mob violence
during strikes. A large part of the
testimony taken has concerned
agencies which furnish professional
strikebreakers or which sell arms
and tear gas to industrial corpora
tionS.
The report said: Millions of dol
lars will be available to defeat the
La Toilette investigation. If our re-
ports are as accurate as we believe
them to be, then the greatest and
most adroit lobby that has ever OPP
Grated in Washington is being or
ganized to kill this astounding ex-
pose of the raising, financing and
directing of private armies"
Officials of detective agencies that
supply guards for industrial plants
assert the real purpose of the La
Toilette investigation is to make con-

Hutton, heiress of the big Post cere-
al fortune, is native of Wisconsin
and practiced law in that state I'M
til 1913, when he went to Washing
ton. He was chairman of the fed
eral trade commission under Presi-
dent Wilson in 1915-'16, and was
taken along by Wilson as an eco
nomic adviser to the Versailles con-
ference. Before that he had served
as western manager of Wilson's
campaign and as secretary of the
Democratic national committee
and he was offered in 1913 the am
bassadorship to Russia, to Italy and
the governorship of the Philippines.
He declined, however, so he could
run for the United States senate
from Wisconsin. He was defeated.
He was active during the recent
campaign, serving on the advisory
committee at Democratic hcadquar-
tiers in New York.
President Roosevelt signed the
Davies commission before he left on
his South American cruise, but the
announcement was withheld until
word was received from the soviet
government that Davies was per-
soma grata at Moscow.

had been in Rome and probably
informed II Duce that the general,
whose attacks on Madrid were meet
ing with unexpected resistance,
might lose the war unless he were
given active support by the nations
that sympathized with his cause.
Mussolini and Hitler did not immedi-
ately announce that they would quit
the international agreement for in
tervention in Spain.
Great Britain and Russia were
stunned by the action of the two
dictators and cabinet meetings were
hurriedly called. The British are
determined not to be drawn into
the Communists Fascist conflict but
they believe that Italy and Ger
many, especially the former, have
designs in the Mediterranean that
would peril Britain's seaway to the
Orient and are preparing to meet
any such threat. Russia's reaction
was awaited breathlessly, and the
soviet government was being pro-
voked still further by the fact that
General Franco declared a block
ade of the port of Barcelona, cap
ital of the almost independent prov
ince of Catalonia. This move GER
tainly was made to stop the landing
of munitions and food from Russia
destined for the Spanish loyalist
forces. England, France and other
nations were greatly concerned over
the blockade, for the port is largely
used by their shipping. The Spanish
rebels have created a strongly forti-
fed port at Palma on the island of
Mallorca that can be used as a
base for bombardment of BARGE
Iona from the sea.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
told the house of commons that Brit
ish ships on the high seas would be
protected against interference by
either side in the Spanish war.
According to the loyalist govern
ment, submarines, "either Italian
or German" attacked Spanish gov
eminent warships at the entrance
to the Cartagena harbor and torpe-
doed the cruiser Miguel de Cervan-
ties.

Germany and Japan Unite
to Combat Communism

COMPLICATING the already COM
~ pick European situation and di-
rectly threatening war is the alleged
fact that Germany and Japan have
united to fight the spread of COM
munism, and that their pact is ex-
pected to be adhered to by Italy
and perhaps various central Eu-
ropean nations. This is of course
directed mainly against soviet Rus
STA, and Moscow is actively aware
of the menace. It is understood
that the agreement provides that
Germany and Japan shall keep
strong military forces in East Prus-
STA and Manchukuo respectively;
that the two nations shall exchange
military information and orders,
and that in certain contingencies
Germany shall supply Japan with
war materials.
Russia sent word to Toxic that it
would not cooperate further in
granting Japanese fishing conces-
sions until the reported Japanese
German military pact was Cancelled.
An immediate source of friction
between Russia and Germany was
the conviction at Novosibirsk of E.
Strickling, German engineer, on
charges of sabotage and plotting
against the soviet regime. He and
eight other defendants were SEN
fenced to death and were said to
have confessed their guilt. The Ger
man ambassador to Moscow asked
that Stockings execution be post
poned until the embassy had time to
study the evidence and file formal
protest.

said the report, "does not propose
sudden and instantaneous stoppage.
Those gradual steps should be taken
which are always essential when adj
justments have to be made upon
considerable scale.
'There is at present danger that,
ceaSing to have work for unem-
ployed persons as its function, this
activity will undertake to replace
some of the functions of private en-
terprise in advancing recovery.
There can be no substitute for pri-
vate enterprise in the development
of improved economic conditions"
These five general conclusions
from its study were set forth by
the committee:
Experience has demonstrated the
difficulty of attempting to obtain &C
curate figures on unemployment
through census methods.
Estimates of unemployment on
national basis are necessarily mac
curate and lend themselves to exag-
geration.
Projects of work relief should not
be allowed to take the place in any
degree of established agencies for
performance of government func-
tons.
Projects of work relief should not
be permitted to compete in any de-
gree with private enterprise for
workers, skilled or unskilled, and
should be so conducted as to en-
courage workers to seek private
employment.
1t is evident that further advance
in business activities will require
the services in private enterprise of
persons now on work relief at pub
lie expense.

Orange Trees Guarded

Americans have seen the orange
trees which grow in the palace gar
dens at Versailles without being
aware of their history or the pains
taking care with which they are
preserved. There are approximately
1000 of the trees, each growing in
its own wooden pot. Many of them
are said to date back to the time of
Louis XIV. They are guarded with
the most jealous care. At the first
sign of cold they are all taken in
doors. Twice year they receive
a SPECIAL diet of OK blood and water.
At regular. intervals the specially
matured loan in which they grow
is changed completely.

President Warns Business
to Aid Employment

CALLING from Charleston aboard
y the cruiser Indianapolis for
Buenos Aires and the Pan-American
peace conference, President Roose-
welt directed the release of a state
ment in which he announced that
the government will continue to
spend money on a work relief pro-
gram until July l, 1888 at least. 1t
is estimated that congress will be
asked to appropriate as much as
81 500, 100000 for relief in the next
session.
Although he professed himself
gratified at the inroads upon unem-
ployment by industry, the President
commented upon the fact that pri-
vate business has not yet absorbed
vast masses of the unemployed and
that millions of persons remain on
the Works Progress administration
pay roll and other governmental
agencies.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared it wa s
widely known" that many of the
largest industries will not hire work.
ers over forty years of age. To a
large extent, he charged, this policy
is responsible for the relatively
large number of older workers on
relief. And industry must expand
opportunities for the hiring of un-
skilled workers, he said.
The mayors of the United States,
in annual conference in Washington,
were gratified by assurances from
both Harold Ickes, head of the
PWA, and Harry Hopkins, head of
the WPA, that the administration
will not cease its spending efforts
to keep alive the emergency or
carnations intended to deal with
the unemployment problem.
