The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

The devastating power of flood
waters has again been demonstrated
in the catastrophe that has hit south
ern California within the last few
days Homes were wrecked, bridges
were swept away, roads were under
mined and made unsafe, and scores of
persons were carried to their death.
Dry streams became raging torrents,
and even city streets became swollen
rivers.
The primary reason for floods is,
of course, excessive rainfall. But ex-
cessive rainfall creates the accumula-
ton called a flood only where no
natural or artificial hindrances pre-
vent the waters from rushing to the
sea in one body. Recent brush fires
have, for instance, denuded the hills
behind Los Angeles, thus eliminating
natural detention of the water and
permitting free flow and accumula-
ton.
Floods must be controlled and re-
strained by levees and entertainments
which fight the waters at their
IlclSll. oat liiSy SdIl W SOiiC CAUGHT
be prevented by control at the source.
Erosion control and reforestation on
the hillsides, and dams on creeks
and tributaries will prevent the rapid
rush of water to the main river.
We have little reason to fear floods
in our state as they have had them
in other areas. But homes are
wrecked, roads are made unsafe, and
people are being carried to their
death by another type of flood which
is no less vicious, the excessive and
Incorporate use of Intoxicating liq-
uors.
The floods of drinking can and
should be controlled and restrained
by levees and embankments of pub
lie regulation. But such restraint is
of no avail, if there is no control
at the source, and, needless to say,
complete stoppage is utterly impos-
sible without such control. Source
control means Individual and local
abstinence and temperance. The final
responsibility comes to rest on our
own doorstep.
AS citizens of our state we should
be deeply concerned about the break
down of public control. We should be
ashamed of prevailing conditions and
actively engaged in improving them.
But we should primarily be concerned
with our own personal part in con-
troll, or lack of control, at the source
It takes many small trickles to make
a great river. Are we helping to
cause the flood or are we helping
to prevent it?
No one can, in the name of per-
sonal freedom, absolve himself from
social responsibility in this situation.

The ISSUE OF
POLITICS IN RELIEF

(Christian Science Monitor)
Temporarily the hurly-burly of a clos
ing Congress has almost submerged an
issue vital to American democracy
politics in relief. The Tydings resolution
for an Investigating committee has been
Sidetracked, but the intention now APP
parently Is to enlarge the scope of the
proposed inquiry and turn it over to the
regular Senate committee which watches
campaign expenditures.
Sufficient authority and funds for a
real investigation will be provided. But
whether anything effective is done about
politics in relief will depend largely on
how the press and public keep after it.
At present the most important investi-
ating is being done by the press. The
ScrippS Howard papers reports from
Thomas l.. Stokes on the Kentucky pri
mary are giving actuality TO some of the
worst suspicious of relief abuses. A SyS-
tenn by which public monies. federal and
state, are maj lOr weapons in primary elec-
tions is disclosed. AffidavitS and other
evidence fill in picture of politicians
making effective use of enlarged public
expenditures. Old concepts of vested in
tereSts buying elections or of employers
coercing the votes of employees are out
moded. A system SO enlarged and per-
fected as to be new IN effect gives big
government an influence in elections
which seriously ieopardizes the free oper-
alton of democracy.
There should be continued pressure
from public and press for exposure of
those who play politics with human mis-
cry. And there should be alert effort to
understand how centralized political con-
troll of spending undermines the repre-
sentative system of government. Above
all, there should be renewed endeavor to
establish nonpartisan, decentralized ad-
ministration of relief.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-06-23

One of the chief criticisms of de
mOcracy these days is that it is
fuzzy. BY that is meant that the
aims and intent of democracy are
less clear than those of the vari-
Gus kinds of blueprint dictator
ships.
No doubt one of the chief sources
of strength of relationships is that
(at first. anyway they know eX-
actly where they are going. Later
on they may not be so sure, but
that is another story.
With demoCracies. argue those
who waver. it is different. A de-
mocracy could not make the bold
stroke of Seizing Austria, because
by the time democratic debate and
red tape had been mwound, the
opportunity would have passed.
The inference is that because de-
mocracieS do not have, and can
not have, a blue print for every
thing they propose to accomplish
within the next 90 years, they are
aimleSS and ineffective.
But often a foreign born observ-
cr who has known authoritarian
lands. and comes to democracy
with eyes open, sees the truth
more clearly than those of us who
have been down in the dust of the
democratic battle. Such a one is

WAY TO CONTROL
{ (NogaIeS HeraId)


There's an old saying that there ar
more ways than one to skin a cat. And
so there are more ways than one to
pack the Federal judiciary with friend
ly" jurists, the Washington schemers
have found out.
When the plant was made last year
that Federal courts were OVer-croWded
with work because some of the jurists
were too old" and that additional JUS
tices should be added to the Supreme
Court and the lower Federal courts,
public sentiment baked the move The
new plan, however, is to quietly circum-
vent public opposition with creation of
brand new branch of the Federal judi
ciary. It's a subtle move but it's potent.
The new court would be known as the
United States Court of Appeals for Ad-
ministration. 1t would receive, decide and
expedite appeals from Federal commits
sions, administrative authorities, ETC., in
all cases in which the Federal govern
ment was party or had an interest.
In other words, government agencies
would take their legal woes away from
old established courts and let the deci-
sion rest with a hand-picked court of its
own
A bill has been introduced in the Sen
ate to make creation of the new court
possible. 1t provides for a chief justice
and ten associates, all to receive yearly
wage of S12.500.

ments make the hour maximum
beside the point in many, Wash
ington is looking forward to a
period similar to the old MIRA code
days as hundreds of industry
boards are created and their mem
bers and lobbyists for employers
and labor start flocking to Wash
ington.
The new law provides for a yir-
tual resurrection of the old NRA
scheme as it was envisaged by Ia
Dor leaders and liberals in Con
gress. Its big difference from NRA
is the absence of provisions for
trade practices and price-fiXin2
agreements by industries.

original administration plan and
the Senate bill contemplated now

But whereas administration
brain trusters never dared write in
a flat minimum wage floor and the
Senate would have permitted
minimum wages as low as its pro
posed board wanted to set them

for one year, a 30-cent foolr tho
