Financing of Workers Alliance Pilgrimage For
Increase in Relief Funds Is Puzzling.

no information about him except
scanty illusions in the newspapers.
One may not approve the march of
w. p. A. workers on Washington-one
may regard 1t as an act coercive of
government and threatening to civil
peace. One may not approve the
demands made in the name of w. P.
A. workers. which, if granted, will
postpone indefinitely the balancing
of the budget and may bring on in
fiation. One may not approve that.
yet even those who dislike 1t most
must concede that the whole phe-
nomenon follows along the familiar
lines of a free society Offering the
maximum Of liberty and opportunity
to the individual. In Germany under
Hitler, or Italy under Mussolini, there
could occur no such manifestation.
Before a march could get started in
Berlin or Rome, the leaders would
find themselves in chains or facing
a firing squad. The marches would
end, violently. before ever they got
started Under a dictator there must
be no leadership except the dictators.
Public Should Have Notion.
In democracy such As ours, in
which the aspiration is, or should be,
TO give the greatest possible freedom
to the individual. changing conditions
bring new opportunities for leadership.
This is true of every field of activity,
business. professional careers, politics
Alert and ambitious persons see the
opportunities, grasp them, and there
upon, if they have the equipment for
the role, are able to function as leaders
Genuine leaders have a zest for the
power which leadership gives them,
and also they may like the prominence
and in some cases the perquisites that
go with leadership, including a better
status than they would have If they
stayed in the ranks.
But just as our democracy permits
such demonstrations as next Fridays
march, so should the informed pubic
opinion of democracy have its own
notions about the merit of what the
marchers demand. And its own opin-
ion about the merit Of the methods
Mass pressure" on Congress can come
dangerously close to intimidation
When the soldiers bonus marchers
were moving mutteringly below the
Senate windows. Senators. including
Mr.. Borah, voted against their demand
not solely on the merit of the demand
but mainly as a rebuke TO what they
regarded as attempted intimidation.
The marchers of relief workers last
Summer, on the State Capitols Of
Pennsylvania. New Jersey and Wiscon-
sin. which went the length of seizure

Headline Folk

They Do
French Mission in u. S.
Heralding Paris 1887
Exposition.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

TINE last time the French sent a
goodwill mission to this coun-
try, they neglected to muzzle
Pertinax. Just as the mission
arrived, bowling right and left, the
acidulous Paris journalist tossed over
seas some Of his most poisonous cracks
about the United States. He torpedoed
lot of international good WILL which
Is one of the best things he does.
Pertinax seems to be under control,
as two paunchy little Frenchmen ar
rive on the La Fayette with their
pudgy right hands extended in a ges-
ture of warm friendship to their
brothers across the sea-" They are
the Marquis Melchior de Polignac,
owner of the famous Pommery vine
yards and cellars, and Charles Mall
lard, widely known French publicist.
They herald the Paris 1887 Interna-
tional Exposition. They head an expe-
dition, touring the United States, CAL
culated to start everybody hot-footing
it to Paris this year, and. so charming
and convincing are these emissaries,
they are likely to put it over. if the
home foreign Office will just throw a
switch on PertinaX.
This will be an above-ground ex-
position, but if the marquis would
stage it underground, he would be
sure Of rush of American customers.
He has ~ miles of tunnels in his
Pommery and Greno cellars, stocked
with about 200OO,OOO bottles of cham
pagne. During the war the happiest ci-
villains in France were those living in
the De Polignac cellars, 100 feet under
ground. They kept house and main
tained schools and published a news
paper. When they heard the blast
of shell above ground, they would
touch of a Big Bertha champagne
cork. Soldiers, coming in toward the
end of the war, drank up 100000 bot
ties of champagne, but the marquis
Just snapped his fingers and said,
"Poof!" That was nothing to win a
war.

tolled artihcially sWeetened cham
the grandmother of the marquis in
vented dry champagne. Until then
it had been a dessert vine. Shrewdly
she concluded that if the sweetenlng
were left out. people would drink it
with meals and therefore drink a lot
more of it. 1t made a vast fortune
for the family. and her daughter mar
ried a marquis The Marquis Mel
chior de Polignac is their son.
Heading the French propaganda
mission here in 1917, he married the
former Nina Crosby. widow of James
Biddle Eustis. His sandy hair is cut
like a curry comb He has grace and
charm, which make him an excellent
envoy He likes everything American
except our cocktails. Champagne. he
says, is drink for lovairs and ahn-
valeeds, or to drink in moteur car"

Will there divide into groups which
will go to the Offices of members of
Congress to apply what Mr. LASER
calls mass pressure Their demand
Is for an increase in the amount which
Mr.. Roosevelt has proposed for relief
until July 1, $3.50, 900, 900. Mr. LASER
is quoted as saying, I'VE cannot accept
the proposal Of the President as ade-
quate." Mr.. LASER, speaking for the
Workers Alliance, demands sl,04O,-
600 900.
Probably the public reads this sort
OF thing about many so-called move
ments," without inquiring closely just
what the organization is, what went
on behind it, what occurred preceding
the occasion when the movement
emerges publicly. The one certain
thing is that next Fridays march on
Washington" is not spontaneous. It
Is going to exert mass pressure" but
1t Is not spontaneous mass action. 1t
Is doubtful If such thing as spontane-
Gus mass action of this kind ever arises
anywhere.
Financing Is Puzzle.
In the present case, obviously 1t is
not going to occur to many different
persons in Chicago to take a train for
Washington on the same day that the
same impulse occurs to several other
dlnerent persons in several other cities
distant from each other. One wonders
who first thinks of the idea and then
brings it about. Since the cost of rail-
road fare from Chicago or more dis
tant cities to Washington is a consid- =
cradle item for a person on relief one
wonders how the movement Is financed.
The amount must run into material
figures.
Always. behind every such enter
prise. there Is an individual Always
these movements. however co-opera-
tive or collectivist they may purport
to be, follow in actuality the individ-
ualist pattern or society. Always there
is an individual as originator. pro-
moter or head. Usually the headship
satisfies some desire of the person
who brings the thing about. Some
times the motive Is pecuniary in part
or whole-the Townsend movement
was not free from that The motive
is not always pecuniary; sometimes
1t Is political, sometimes desire for
power, sometimes it is vanity, an ardor
for being at the head of things.
