Shaw 'COnfeSses' Royal Jest In Rewriting Shakespeare
Admits He KneEO Notification Scene Was Topical"

BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

London, Dec. 6-I can answer the question that all London has been asking-a question that has fur- rowed more British brows than has the trouble in the Mediterranean or the income tax.
 Yes, George Bernard Shaw, when he rewrote the last act of Shakes peare's "Cymbeline," REALLY WAS referring to the abdication of King Edward VIII. MT. Shaw himself has confessed" to me that he is amused" by the "topicality" of the incident.
 As if rewriting Shakespeare wouldn't cause sufficient discussion and displeasure among British cri- tics, Shaw stirred them even more when he put these words in the mouth of the Kings long-lost son Cadwal:
 No, no,
 This Kingly business has no charm for me.
 When I lived in . cave, me- thought a palace
 Must be a glorious place, peopled with men
 Renowned as councillors, mighty as soldiers,
 As saints a pattern of holy live ing,

Undeserved Criticism

Congressman Harold Knutson, who
takes occasion frequently to criticise
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, last
week told of him being a great trav-
eler and commented on the number
of miles he has travelled and the
number of days he has been away
from Washington since he became
president of the United States.
Now that is very little to criticise
him for because he has at least been
on the job both while away and while
at home. Some fellows we have
known and we possibly would not
have to 60 far back into history to
mention them-and possibly they
were recipients of the congressman
admiration-could stay at the office
the whole time and see the country
go to ruin for the want of some lead
ership and activity.
No, it doesn't mean anything if one
is on the job all the time if he does
nothing. AS for the president, if he
is away the remainder of his term
he has at least given us sufficient &C.
tivity during his tenure of office
so far.

LAW FOR PEDESTRIANS
(MinneapOliS JOurnaD

AS never before at the regular 1897
session of the Minnesota Legislature,
the rights of pedestrians on the high
ways have now been deliberately de-
fined. With bitter laugh, some pc
destrians may eXclaim, TRY and get
them" Well, generally and in proper
instances, they have the law with
an injured OR aggrieved person.
But the State Traffic Code imposes
duties and restrictions on pedestrians,
as well as on drivers. They are sub
ject to traffic control signals at in
tersections where such signals are
operated. They must stop at the red
light, and at the yellow lights as we'll,
the same as motorists. They must
keep within cross walks, marked or
unmarked. They may not cross be-
tween signal marked intersections
the law is specific on this point. And
where there are no signals, the driver
must yield right of way to the pedes-
trian who is crossing within marked
or unmarked crosswalks. Drivers also
must exercise due care to avoid col
liding with any pedestrian on any
roadway, and especially must exercise
precaution upon observing any child or
any confused or incapacitated person
on roadway.
The code is simple enough as to
pedestrian crossing at intersections
n ,.lyn l,xc iuna ls inf ic
loophole. The code says: mo pedes-
trian facing such (reO signal shall
enter the roadway unless he can do
so safely and without interfering with
any vehicular traffic" Right there
is opportunity for individual judgment,
and mans judgment of speed has not
yet caught up with the capabilities of
motor cars. Exhaustive tests have
shown that pedestrians are prone to
estimate the hazard of an approach
ing car by distance, when speed is
the only accurate measure. They are
of the road they are to cross, and in
noting the number of vehicles APP
preaching.
Many more pedestrian fatalities oc-
cur in Minneapolis, than other fatali-
ties of traffic. How largely this is
due to pedestrian error or violation of
the Traffic Code may not be deter
mined. But certainly the Code pro-
vides against casualty to the best of
human ability to forefend in advance.
What the pedestrian needs to learn is
that the day of individualism in traf-
to the mass regulation.

4 THREAT TO THE WORKERS
washington Herald)

Balancing the federal budget has
long since ceased to be of interest
only to wealthy men in comfortable
armchairs in Fifth Avenue clubs.
The continuance of federal deficits
constitutes a threat against the pur-
chasing power of the dollar, and is
therefore of direct concern to every
American with savings.
Incidentally, the bringing of 27,OOO,-
COO Americans under the old-age pen
sion provisions of the Social Security
Act has CORRESPONDENCE augmented
the creditor class.
In relating the need for balanced
budget to the personal interests of
these 27.000,000 creditors of the pen
sion fund. James w. Hook. president
of the New England Council, recently
pointed out:
1T is going to be pretty nearly i'm
possible for the Social Security Act
to operate effectively alongside a con-
tinuing unbalanced budget. The first
thing to be done, it seems to me. if
the government wants the Social Sc
curity Act to mean anything to its
beneticiaries, is for the government
to balance its budget and keep it bal
anced
Thereafter, surplus funds collected
in prosperous times through the medi-
UNI of Social Security taxes could be
used to reduce the national debt and
rehabilitate the national credit.
when depression comes, the gov.
eminent then would have the neces-
sary credit to keep Social Security
benefits from lapsing."
A hazardous initiation, resulting
from indefinite federal spending in eX
cess of tax receipts, would upset the
high hopes for a comfortable old age
raised in the breasts of millions OIL
thrifty Americans.

Victory Is Defeat?

With the prospects of bumper crops
throughout the northwest, farmers
are beginning to wonder if they will
not lose even if they win. AS has
happened many times in the past,
farmers crops which they have
watched and prayed for several
months nurturing them to the har-
vesting stage, may actually be stolen
from them. Who does the stealing?
We answer this by saying the mar
keting system. Why is it? We often
hear the old cry of surplus but
statistics have not completely proved
this to be true.
To our mind the taking of farm
er'S crop or the products of any ones
toll for small fraction of what it's
worth is nothing short of criminal
misdemeanor, but it is being done
right in our good old United States.
We have seen the grain farmers in
North Dakota, after a good crop, hold
their grain for higher prices which
usually come in sub-normal years
later on in the winter, take price
far below that which it is worth.
We have seen the price of wheat
raise cent buShel and the price of
flour raise 10 cents per sack. Where
does the difference come in? No
announcement of higher wages being
paid by the large milling companies
came at the time, but the argument
was used that the price of wheat
went up so therefore the price of
flour should necessarily follow. True
but not to the extent of doubling the
increase.
When farmer gets a bumper crop
under the present order of things, he
finds that his expenses for the har-
VeSting of such crop have increased
out of proportion and that his bum
per crop will leave him almost in
as bad condition as before he har-
vested it. There should be some
thing and there must be something
done to assist in keeping the prices
of produce stabilized and in proper
ton to the cost of producing those
crops. But this will never be done
unless the producers themselves use
persistent pressure on their legisla-
tors
The same thing can be said about
the situation in which the laboring
classes find themselves following a
depression. Their wages have been
cut during the depression but they
do not raise as rapidly following il
as do the prices of the things which
they must buy.
Manufactured articles are priced
according to the cost of making them
That is the only way that the man.
ufacturers can stay in business. Then
doesn't it necessarily follow that the
growers of the materials out of which
the manufactured articles are made
should get cost of production for them
in order to stay in business Big bust
ness has said it can't be done but the
time will come when it will be done
and the sooner the better

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY PAUL JOHN KvALE, M. C.

Another week crowded with i'm
portant news has just come to a close.
Significantly it closed on a note of
warning against extravaganza in the
administration of the federal gov
eminent, sounded by the potent Ma
jority Leader of the Senate, Joseph
T. Robinson of Arkansas. Coming
from source so close to the White
House it commanded the attention of
all observers when on Friday Sen
ator Robinson took the floor to pro-
pose that states, counties and cities
be required to put up one-fourth of
the cost of WPA projects instead of
forty per cent as proposed by Sen
ator Byrnes of South Carolina.
"You may laugh about S36,000,-
100000 debt hanging over the treas
ury of the United States if you wish
to-" he said, ''but with all my refined
and expanded sense of humor find it
impossible to laugh about such a
thing" He went on to explain that
those in need should be taken care
of but that expenditures not actually
needed should be curtailed on the
chance that another depression might
come within few years and that
the next generation of Americans
might find the burden of debt entirely
too heavy to carry.

plan to force judicial Interpretation

violates every sacred tradition of

of the Constitution it seeks to do that

operation would be to make the Con-

the White House that the President

Club, located on an island in Chesa-

ter member of the club, by the way,
which was organized by a group of
Democratic leaders some years ago.
Senator Robinson is its president.
The news of the projected outing
and conference was hailed with glee
by liberals throughout the admins
tration, who believe that it will bring
about closer understanding between
the Executive and legislative branches
of the government, and make it posi-
BILE to expedite many matters of i'm

The hearing on tax dodgers got
underway during the week before
a crowded committee room. The
spectators and press were disap-
pointed on the opening day because
the names of no tax dodgers were
mentioned. The second day was
better, however, for it revealed some
pay dirt as the newspaper boys
say, in the form of information re-
garding the alleged establishment of
foreign holding companies which
made it possible for movie actors,
bankers and other persons with large
incomes to legally escape paying their
full share.
