HOW LONG?

The Federal treasury will be in the red by an
other nearly 100000 900 at the end of the pres
cnt fiscal year in June
The estimate is the presidents
That means that approximately $2,5OOOOO more
will be spent each day of the 3G5 by the FederaI
government than that government takes in.
The presidents forecast boosts his own previous
estimates of the years deficit by $277,0O0.OOO.
The deficit is thus being accumulated at a rate
that not the administration has dared predict.
The country can not intelligenty take these

CAMPAIGN PROMISES AND COON
HOUNDS
tEy BRUCE CATTON)


The most stimulating little story of the
fall has to do with the politician down in
Kentucky who got into Jam with the
authorities for promising too much to the
voters.
This man was running for his party'S
nomination tor sheriff. As the backbone
of his campaign platform, he vowed that,
if elected. ne would not collect the dog
tax ON coon homds-which, considering
the widespread ownership of coon dogs in
his baiIiwick. was calculated to appeal to
everybody.
But circuit Judge stepped in and ruled
that this was am attempt to bribe the cleo
torate. For that reason, she Judge ruled
the candidate Off the ballot and brought
his campaign to an inglorious conclusion
To the baTlcd candidate, to say nothing
of the coon dog owners of Kentucky, one
must extend sympathy. But it is impos-
Sible to avoid q little dreamy speculation
about the revolution that would be worked
in American politics if this circuit judges
ruling should be applied to all candidates
for office, high and low.
Promising everybody everything is the
oldest standby Of our campaigns. Every
one does it. The Kentuckian, limiting HIM
self to one direct appeal to the coon dog
vote. seems TO have been pretty moderate
Ii candidate can't offer special privileges
to different groups OF voters, how is any
American ever to run for anything?
Take the congressman, for example. He
has to promise things: new poStoffice, or
an appropriation for dredging, straighten-
ing and identifying Mud creek, or an extra
share OF the relief allowance for his dis
trict. Such promises are his stock in trade.
How could he live without them?
Or-to ascend to more rarefed air
consider the presidential candidate. Boiled
down, his platform usually amounts to just
about this: elect me and | will see that you
are prosperous and happy, that the wolf
stays far from your door, that foreign
peace and domestic order reign, that your
taxes will be reduced and your businesses
flourish. My opponent is too unworthy
and unuustwouhy to give YOU these things,
but II will be the Countanhcad of all
good things.
Outlaw campaign promises. and you
would immoblize good percentage of all
our presidential candidates-past, present
and to come. The situation is dreadful to
contemplate.
But we might, just possibly, live through
it. We might be able to struggle through
to an order of things in which candidates
offered themselves to the electorate on the
basis of principles, not promises; in which
we elected men not because of what they
were going TO get for us, but because of
how they were going to guide our efforts
to help ourselves.
The transition period would be bewil-
dering, but in the end we ought to have a
much Saner and healthier political life.

WTASHINGTONAOptimiSm as TO
w success of the forthcoming G..
I.O.-A. +. of l.. peace conferences
is a scarce commodity.
No responsible person in either
camp, or in the ranks Of govern
ment, appears TO believe that a re-
united American labor movement
is an early prospect.
The best thing the more peace
full labor leaders hope for is some
sort Of a truce in which the two
organizations will at least partially
refrain from seeking to slash each
other to pieces.
Prevalence of peSSimiSm con-
corning other phases of labor'S
split does not mean that attempts
to bring the two factions together
again are doomed. Cogent factors.
actual and potential, which may
force something more than a par
tial truce, are also in the picture.
Nevertheless, competent observ-
erS returning from Denver and
Atlantic City report that the seS-
sionS of both groups breathed self
congratulatory optimism and de-
fiance. The plain fact is that both
branches of the labor movement
have been thriving, that neither
side is seriously afraid of the
other and that these facts tend to
discourage compromise.
Complexities Of the problems
to be solved in any far-reaching
settlement Of labor'S strife are
enormous. But one of the most
difficult facts is that, with c. /. o.
now claiming alarger membership
than the Federation, it might be
impossible to reunite c. !. .. and

A. F. of L. without putting Lewis
in control.
Furthermore, Lewis undoubt-
edly will insist on the right to
organize mass production indus
tries on an industrial basis with
out craft union participation; up
on full voting representation for
his followers and on cessation
of A. f. of l.. efforts TO gain en-
ployer recognition by suggesting
c. /. o. would be a greater evil.
William Green and his eXecu-
tive council have shown small in
dication Of willingness to make
any large concessions.
Strategically, c. /. o. leaders
feel they're sitting pretty. BY
making the first peace" move,
Lewis appealed TO the large rank
and file sentiment of workers IN
both armies who dislike fighting
other workers. The A. F. OF l..
could hardly refuse the overture.
Some Of the facts which may
make the outlook for real peace
brighter than most labor leaders
now think, were also influential in
persuading C. /. o. to break the
ice. On both sides exists the fear
of a business slump. Both sides
a'so fear the threat Of repreSSive
labor legislation which will be
harder to defeat il labor cannot
unite at least on that front.
And no one on either side en-
ioys the fact that employers have
shown an increasing disposition TO
refuse to sign contracts with one
faction at, the risk of. inviting at
tack from the other.

Japan Plans
Firm Reply
To Britain

TOKYO, Aug. % G.N.S0.
Japan will maintain stiff atti-
tude in the face of Britain's sharp
note demanding satisfaction for
the wounding of British Ambas-
sador Sir Hughe Knatchbull-
Hugessen by a japanese machine
gun bullet on the Shanghai-Nan-
king Road, according to all indi-
cations today.
With the British note already
dispatched here from London, de-
manding reparation for the am
bassador and guarantees against
any similar incidents in future,
japanese officials remained firm
in their attitude that the British
envoy "took a chance" in max
ing the trip from Marking to
Shanghai without advising Japa-
nese authorities in advance.
Indicating the trend Of the
probable Japanese reply, japanese
headquarters in Shanghai issued a
communique, which officials here
took pains to make public, point
ing out that the day the British
ambassador was motoring along
the Marking Road and was
wounded, Japanese scouting &C
tivities showed large bodies Of
Chinese troops were masSing at
various points.
These troops, said the com
munique, were gathering in the
vicinity of the road where the am.
bassador was wounded.
"This demonstrates" the COM
munique stated, that those dis
tricts were within the fighting
zone"
Meanwhile the authoritative
newspaper ASahi Shimbun, in a
Shanghai dispatch, charged the
Chinese government has decided
to prolong the war by seeking the
diplomatic aid Of Britain and the
military assistance of Soviet
