EXIT, THE GREASY SPOON

It is probably true that if enacted into law the proposed health and sanitation code for the Ter ritory, before the Legislature, not be en- forced to the letter in many of the isolated ouposts due to cost of administration but it certainly has provisions which doubtless will meet with uni versal approval Particularly among these are the sections dealing with the handling of food and the sterizng of utensils in which the public is served.
 It requires for example, that glasses, cups knives and forks plates and the like must be thoroughly cleansed before being used and that the water in which they washed be at high enough tempera- ture to kill germs
 Most reputable places do that now but many of have had experience with the greasy knife and the -poon nicely coated that it would appear to be coated with oil.
 Again, the proposed law provides that persons engaged in the business of handling food take periodic examinations to prove their own sound health and that they not the victims of some communicable disease.
 Many other features incorporated in the pro- posed legislation All of them are aimed in the right direction and that is toward cleanliness general good health and well being of the people.
 But if it would eliminate the grimy knife, fork and spoon and the unsterilized glass it would be a worthy piece of legislation.

A Presidential Message
(New York Times)

(NeW 1OrK IlmeS)
 President Roosevelt's message to Congress will be of special interest many readers in the light of the present controversy the Supreme Court. The message deals with one of this countrys larger homie problems: the evil of farm tenancy As the President observes have reached point at which farmers in every five tenants This in itself might not be alarming; but, unfortunately most ten ants lease their land for short period usually only single year, and receive no reimbursement for any improvements they may make in either soil or build ings What happens in these circumstances is what must inevitably happen the land is skinned, while the tenant himself becomes nomad. A system of this kind is thoroughly bad both socially and economi cay. and the President is right in insisting that something be done to stop it. In his message he de- clares that obviously action by the States alone and independently cannot the widespread evil. He therefore calls upon the Federal Government take the lead and ends his message with this statement: Most Americans believe that our form of government does not prohibit action behalf of those who need help"
 Fortunately there is no legal restraint which would prohibit the giving of help to tenant farmers precisely in the form in which the President believes that help should be given. He urges four-point program, to consist of long-term credit to enable tenant farmers to acquire land; modest loans to help them achieve greater success their struggle for security; retirement by public agencies of land un suited for purposes of farming cooperation with State and local authorities to improve the general leasing system.
 
 any fear of encountering obstruction of the law courts. Tn fact, the Federal Government is already pursuing actively the first three policies and undertake the fourth at any moment it is ready to do so. The Farm Credit Administration furnished long, credit which financed the purchase of than 14OOO farms last year. It made many thousands of shortterm loans for the assistance of small farmers Its closely allied agency, the Rural Resettement Ad ministration, obtained options 9,500000 acres of poor farm land specifically for the purpose of retr ing it from cultivation
 If it is desirable to intensity any all of these activities, MT Roosevelt and Congress have only say the word Their power to act in the matter is unquestioned The Presidents message in fact comes partisans, of his Supreme Court proposal seem to have ignored entirely: namely, the fact that there are large and fundamental economic problems-this is of them-with which the Federal Government fully equipped to deal without any change in the Constitution or in the court which stands as its guardian.

BUILDING UP THE SPANISH WAR

It is estimated by French officials that there are 50000 Italians and 10000 Germans fighting for the Rebel in Spain and that the Loyalist, Spanish government side there some 35,000 rors of various nationalites, but mostly Frenchmen In other words there are fighting Spain according to the French estimate, 95000 soldiers who have nothing in common with the Spanish
 Small wonder that the eyes of the world continue to focus the so-called Civil War in Spain While it has slowed down to walk far the two com batting Spanish forces concerned it continues to be nourished by those volunteers from adjoining countries.
 Whether the European powers using Spain the checker board to test their strength and to which way the wind blows it were, remains to be definitely established but there is ample evil dence that if foreign soldiers were withdrawn from the ranks of the opposing Spanish factions the Civil
