Not only will the platform which
the Philadelphia convention will
adopt next June be written by the
Administration, but the delegates
to that convention will be, in the
main, dictated by the Administra-
ton, if present plans succeed.
Mr.. Roosevelt will write the
platform and Mr.. Farley will pick
the delegates.
In this way the Administration
will assure itself that the platform
which Mr.. Roosevelt writes, in col
liberation with Prof. Felix Frank
furter and other Radicals, will not
be changed by the delegates before
they vote its adoption.
Under the circumstances, ex-
Gov. AL Smith, of New York, and
those Democrats who share his
loyalty to the American system Of
Government will not be allowed to
go to the Philadelphia convention
as delegates if the Administrators
will prevails.
In the so-called Solid South,
however, the Administration will
not find it so easy to prevent the
election of delegates who are op-
posed to alienizing the American
system of government by curbing
the power and limiting the respon-
sibility of the Supreme Court to
discharge the duties imposed upon
it by the Constitution.
FARLEY'S TASK
For example, Senator Byrd Of
Virginia will doubtless go as dele
gate-at-large from the Old Do
minion.
If he is a delegate to the Phila-
delphia convention. he would be
false to everything he has ever
stood for if he should follow the
Radical group around the Presl'
dent. which is bent upon bringing
the Supreme Court of the United
States to its knees, either by con-
stitutional amendment or by un-
constitutional legislation.
And Senator Byrd of Virginia is
not the only prominent Southern
Democrat who can be relied on to
repel insidious assaults on the
American system by those who at
tempt "to undermine what cannot
be directly overthrown."
The Administration must there
fore dictate the election Of both
Eastern and Western delegates to
the Philadelphia convention in
favor of Stacking the Supreme
Court if it is to overcome the oppo-
sition Of Senator Byrd and other
Southern Democrats who will be
elected to that convention regard
less of whether the Administration
approves or not.
And it is to this task Mr.. Farley
will address himself when, as, and
if he leaves the Cabinet soon to

WHERE WERE WE

Young Representative Joseph
Monaghan CD of Montana, is
having his troubles these days.
Mr.. Monaghan is an ardent
ToWnsendite and in that Ca
pacity makes numerous talks on
the 5000 per month old-age pen
sion plan.
Just the other day some remarks
had been made in the House con.
corning the Townsend plan and
its sponsors in the House.
Mr.. Monaghan rose to defend
the plan and it's advocates.
It so happened at the time that
the members were supposed to be
considering the independent Of
fees appropriation bill, but the
debate had wandered far afield as
only members of Congress can
make it wander.
So Mr.. Monaghan arose in his
wrath and was about to rebuke
opponents of the Townsend plan

Ever since the Administration

Congressional Neglect

The persistent refusal of Congress make adequate
Federal appropriation for the upkeep of the National
Capital is resulting in the deterioration of the city to
the injustice of the country whole well to the
half million persons who live here.
It manifesty unfair for Congress to insist that the
permanent residents of this community should be forced
to support what is obviously national obligation.
few years ago when the total cost of maintaining
the National Capital was considerably less than it is now
the Federal Bureau of Efficiency called upon to
study the proper fiscal relationship between the Federal
and the local governments.
Being strictly Federal agency it naturally didn't in
cline toward giving the District citizens the best of the
bargain.
NEVERTHELESS IT FOUND THAT THE FED
ERAL SHARE OF THE EXPENSES OF THE CITY
SHOULD BE WELL OVER TEN MILLION DOLLARS
YEAR.
Since that report was made however the Federal Gov
eminent has adopted policy of appropriating only
$57O0OOO annually its share of the cost of the Fed
eral city.
While this Sinking policy of the Federal unit has gone
on the total cost of maintaining the city has increased
THE LOCAL CITIZENS, THEREFORE, HAVE NOT
ONLY HAD TO MAKE UP THE DEFAULT OF THE

Either that or the city will find itself falling seriously

right to expect in its National Capital.

WIPING OUT CRIME

Down in the Sub-cellar. SOUND"
proof gallery under the Depart
ment of Justice in Washington, j..
Edgar Hoover's fledgling Omen
blaze away at a paper target in
the semblance of a human form.
They shoot with submachine guns,
ugliest and deadliest OF killing
machines.
The guns are about 20 inches
long. Slung at the side, sighted
with two handles rather than the
eye. as one would spray a stream
from a garden hose.
At the gunner's side are electric
push buttons by which the sus-
pended paper torso, that OF a
singular Misunderstanding citizen,
may be moved forward or back
ward, lengthening or shortening
the range. There is a savage spit
of fire, half the length OF the A.
yard gallery, following vengetuIly
in the wake of the stream OF lead.
In an upstairs study, overlooking
an old Greenwich Village back
ward, Will Irwin. author, is en-
gagged in more gunnery. His rat
.a-tat-tat on the typewriter is
packed like the machine gun bull
lets. His book, propaganda in

lished by the McGraw'Hill Com
pany. and I do not think I am in
the least forcing an artificial Sc
ouence when I link it with the
doings of Mr.. Hoover's G-Men.
SAME TARGET
For definite reasons think the
machine gunners and the word
gunners ought to understand each
other better. The best OF them
are shooting at the same target.
Here's the idea. The opening
chapters of Will Twins book are
first. a fine, explicit, historical
study of how we established free
dom of the press in America, and
got it into the Bill Of Rights; and,
secondly, a showing that the de-
gree of democracy in any country
is the measure Of its freedom of
the press.
Never under an autocracy were
there free newspapers, and demo
cratic institutions can exist no
where if there is not free and
absolute right to publish without
stay by governments or courts.
Men in England, France and
America suffered the loss Of their
ears. were imprisoned or lay in
stocks, suffering abuse and ridi-
Guile. before this all-too-caSually
held victory was gained. =.
Mr.. Twins book is the first
clear, sharply definitive, histori-
cally documented study of this
all-important subject this writer
has seen. 1t should be required
reading for all those who talk
loosely of some extremist form
of government as possibly neces-
sary in America.
But to paint it up clearly, it
is necessary to refer to one more

Funny, how much money a
man will spend when he's trying
to win a woman, yet how it
inks him to part with a penny
in order to lose her. Even when
the latter is a far better bar
gain!
"You Gift me money and I

frank proposition which the
young and titled correspondent
in a recent divorce case is al
legged to have made to the in
iured ex-husband.
Fair enough! Not many men
receive such an open-handed, in
genuous offer for a secondhand
wife. Some ex-huSbands have
been paying alimony for a year
or so, before discovering that the
