Ill-Advised Efforts
BuJ. T. Williams, Jr.

} for each of them, however illus
triOus they may be.
For our own leader Of the
Revolution, the greatest Of
Americans, and for him alone,
have we as a people set apart
one day each year."
In spite of the plain words Of
the President, in defiance of the
public sentiment which over.
whelmingly supported his veto Of
the attempt of Congress to give
to anybody the honor reserved by
the people for the Father of His
Country, the present Congress is
the scene of another attempt to
do this very thing. Identic joint
resolutions have been introduced
in the present Congress by half
dozen or more members direct
ing the President to give to Gen
eral Pulaski the honor hitherto
reserved for the Father of His
Country.
In most of the States from
which the Representatives offer.
ing these proposals hail, the ma
tional observance of Washington's
Birthday is now sadly neglected.
A State which will not raise up
a leadership that will provide for
the annual observance of Wash
ington's Birthday would hardly
pay much attention to proclama-
tion from the White House calling
upon the people to give to one Of
his generals the annual honors
which in earlier years the people
North, East South and West de-
lighted to give to the First Ameri-
can-"First in War, First in
Peace, First in the Hearts Of His
Countrymen."
INAP- -ROPRIATE '.'
It is most unfair to the memory
of the gallant General Pulaski that
his record Of distinguished service
should at this late day be made
football of politics in Congress.
AS President Roosevelt so truly
said in his stirring veto message
to the last Congress:
General Pulaski would mot
have wished to be given more
honor than the people can give
to all of WaShingtOn's generals.
And if those national legislators
who are trying to single General
Pulaski out for preeminent honor
will take the time to read his
life they will be forced to the
conclusion that Pulaski would be
the last among all the generals
Of the Revolution to ask that he
be awarded the honor which the
American people in their wisdom
have reserved for the greatest
Of Americans and for him
alone.'"
It would honor the memory Of
General Pulaski most appropri-
ately if the ill-advised sponsors Of
the so-called Pulaski Joint Reso-
luton would withdraw their in
appropriate :oposals and devote
their energies to restoring truly
national observance in their re-
spective States Of Washington's
Birthday.

USUAL JAM

Already there is creeping forth
a fear in some circles that this
Congress is going to end in the
usual jam and the finger points
even now to a warning that it
will be worse than ever before.
The simple fact causing this
fear is that at least one Senator
has received on three bills he
introduced a report from the
Budget Bureau calling for a delay
on the measures because Of the
study being made for the Presi'
dents reorganization plan.
And that's not all-at least
one Government agency has re
fused to report on one Of the
bills, although it was requested
by a regular committee Of the
Senate because of the Budget
Bureaus action. -.
Its practical result Is that II
Congress accepts these ultima

REVOLUTIONARY

On Monday, the 117th anniver-
sary of the birth of Susan B. An
thony, foremost advocate of Wom-
ems rights, she was eulogized in
both the Senate and the House.
Senator James P. Pope of Idaho,
who spoke of her accomplishments
on the Senate floor during his ad-
dress, recited some of the circum-
stances that surrounded women
at the time the great crusader was
born. He said that just a short
time before her birth the following
advertisement appeared in the
Pennsylvania Gazette:
"TO be sold; a healthy young
Dutch woman, fit for town or
country business; about 1S years
old; can spin well; she speaks
good English; and has about
five years to service"
He also quoted a commentary
by Blackstone, the famous law
authority, on the common law
which reads in part:
"By marriage the husband
and wife are one person in law
(he may select her associates,
separate her from her relatives,
restrain her religious and per-
SOnaI freedom, correct her
faults by mild means, and, if
necessary chastiSe her with mod.
Grafton, as though she were his
apprentice or child"
Boy, oh, boy, would Mr.. Black
stone haye a rude awakening il
he walked into an American home
today. He'd probably start 9
movement for mems rights.

Working Conditions

THE STUDY which it has been revealed is being made
l. under the direction of President Roosevelt with
view to improving personnel conditions in the Govern
ment service will be welcomed by all those who believe in
the establishment of decent working conditions for those
who earn their living whether employed by the Govern
ment or by private business
According to Mr. Daniel W Bell acting director of the
budget the survey will such matters classifca
tion compensation and retirement.
The need for such comprehensive survey has long
been apparent to those who familiar with conditions
in the Government service.
In many instances this service has iest crowd" and
there wide discrepancy among conditions in various
agencies and there has been general tendency through
out the service to fail improve conditions they have
been improved in private employ.
While, as we have said, the survey is welcomed, it
should not be accepted by Congress for fail
ing to deal promptly with the matter of salaries in the
Government service.
Bills providing for increases in Government wages
were introduced early in the present session and are
being pressed for consideration by the Civil Service
mittees of both Houses.
THE REVELATION THAT THE PRESIDENT, TOO,
IS INTERESTED IN THE PROBLEM SHOULD EX-
PEDITE, RATHER THAN DELAY CONGRESSIONAL
CONSIDERATION AND ACTION.
Director Bell in informing Congress that the Presi-
dental study being made said that it was expected
that report would be made to the present Congress-
That may mean either this year or next.
Readiustment of Government salaries should be
deraken NOW if it is to be of maximum effect in aiding
the Administrations appeal to private employers to
improve the condition Of their workers.
It is not enough to tell industry to raise salaries
and that the Government will start survey which may
last year or two to determine if it should raise
salaries.
PRIVATE EMPLOYERS MIGHT WELL REPLY
TO SUCH CONTENTION THAT THEY TOO
WOULD MAKE SURVEY INSTEAD OF RAISING
SALARIES.

CONSISTENCY


There Is one Senator who can
take it and like it.
Senator Henry Fountain Ash
urSt, chairman of the Senate Judi
ciary Committee, has sense of
humor that takes him blithely
over rough spots that would bog
more than one man who was less
quick-witted.
Chided recently for a seeming
aboutface on the proposition of
obtaining more power for Con-
gresS, he kept right on smiling
and let loose Wisecracks to come
through with flying colors
Recently he told the Senate he
didn't like roundabout methods
of obtaining such power and they
ought to be achieved by letting
the people pass on a constitutional
amendment.
Shortly thereafter he intro.
duced the much talked about
Presidential plan for adding to
the Supreme Court. Some thought
this was a direct about-face. And
they were reminded of his oft
repeated assertion:

that ] am inconsistent"
