1t would be as uncOnvincing as
it would be untrue to assume that
the president has not known of this
omission. For he must know, as
every intelligent man in America
knows, that millions of these citi-
zens in the southland deprived of
the use of the franchise are there
by deprived of the opportunity to
change many of the most drastic
hindrances to their real citizenship
status. The free use of the ballot
would unseat many of the prOpOn-
ents of Jim Crow in the ALLEGATION
of school funds; in the lot of tenant
farmers; in the uniOnizatiOn OF
IabOrers, of the retention Of power
in the hands of a south Indifferent
to national progress, unless it con-
notes the continuation of the serf-
dom of the black man. A free bal.
lot for all would vote all these OBJ
structiOns to Negro welfare into
oblivion in the next few years. Its
possession would make unnecessary
an anti-lynch law for then the
Negro could command his own sal
vatiOn-his contribution to the wei
fare of the nation would tremen-
dOusly increase and Immediately.
No! the president is not unaware
of all this nor of the power he
holds to make it a part of his
"must" program. 1 seek no ex-
PLANTATION of his indifference nor of
that of his congress, nor yet of
that of the great majority of the
white people. The reason is al
together too obvious. Presumed
lack of power to resent unfair
treatment. The black man must
accept it just as Austria must ac-
cept Hitler.
But does this necessarily follow?
l believe not. What we need is
more power. This can be developed
through the ballots we now have.
There is no need to await the ac-
ton of a president immersed in
what he considers a greater prob
lem, nor in a Congress he (the
president) largely directs. Nor yet
in the American public so largely

Walter Lippman, prominent

to the possibility of a change in the

Cooperation, sincere, intelligent

need and show the way to its effec-
tive use. Can we do it: I point to

GREAT WEALTH
HAS RESPONSIBILITIES

In the fantastic elements of the Coster-
Musica drug scandal the mind can find
innumerabe subjects for thought, but
none, perhaps, is so provoking as the
demonstration that great wealth carries
grave responsibilities.
F. Donald Coster, born Philip Musica,
was a man of undoubted genius-a gem
JUS which he himself warped into an
ugly thing to take advantage of the poor
and the moderately well-tO-do so that
his own treasury might be enriched. He
is such a man as those who, if given
their way. would make the holding of
great wealth illegal-because practices
such as his would create storm of
public anger against which no amount
of logic could stand.
Coster-Musica could have been a
wealthy man by legal means, yet his
grasping mind sought still greater
wealth through illegal practices. He
learned, as thousands of others have
learned that crime does not pay. Yet
he left behind him an example standing
as monument to the declaration that
those who are rich must consider those
who are poor-else they themselves will
become poor.
Thousands of men and women through
out the country, persons of small means,
had invested in the Coster enterprise,
trusting their meagre savings to the
hands of man who should, by all the
laws of humanity, have felt great
responsibility to these people. Instead
he cheated and swindled them, perhaps
bringing utter ruin to many.
There has been much said of late
about governmental control of business,
large and small Much will continue to
be said-and much done-until those
of great wealth are brought TO recognize
their responsibility to others. Employ
ers must recognize that they are respon-
sible to their employees, just as the en-
ployes are responsible to them; corpOr-
ations must realize that they are respon-
sible to their investors.
When humanity is as much a part of
business as is the profit margin, then,
and only then, will there be no more
talk of government control.

REGARDLESS OF THE
PARTY IN POWER

Governor Alf. NJ LandOn Republican
presidential nominee in 1886, gave the
dictators of the world a startling in
sight into American practices this week
when he declared at Lima, Peru-scene
of the Pan-American conference that
the United States will mot tolerate any
foreign government gaining a foothold
on this continent
1t must have been startling to such
men as Hitler and Mussolini, because
they have come to regard the United
States as a country divided against it
self They could not but do otherwise,
living as they do in an atmosphere where
criticism of their own doings is not al
lowed, and at the same time seeing critl-
cism of the government rife in America.
They cannot realize that the criticism
is, to all intents and purposes, merely
the Americans way of reflectipg in
terest in his own government.
Landon, nominal head of the Republi-
can party, and President Roosevelt,
head of the Democratic party, have
joined to tell the world that, though
they may disagree in private, they are
like the proverbial Irish family-united
against all outsiders.
AS long as we in America can present
such front, there is little danger that
the American way will cease to exist.
And there is little danger that any
aggressor will be foolhardy enough to
attack us within our own boundaries.

ONE SIMPLE TEST
FOR EVERY POLICY

(Wall Street JournaD
Federal Reserve Bank Governor CheS-
ter Davis warned the American Farm
Bureau Federation in session at New
Orleans that there was no solution for
farm troubles by monetary tinkering
He told employers and organized labor
that the solution of their problems lay
in increased production as the only prac-
tical source of increased wages and in
creased profits Without this the en-
ployer's attempt to raise prices and the
employees attempt to get higher wages
simply kills the goose that lays the
golden eggs.
How dull and unacceptable is the truth
when people are in a mood to chase rain
bows and rely upon this, that or the other
patent medicine for cure of their ills?
The Spanish philosopher, Ortega Gas
set, has observed that when men find
themselves in an emergency they will
do their best to avoid taking the one
straight road out of it and will try every
thing else first. There is no Iron law
of wages as was the theory of the pro-
gressives a century ago. There is no nee
essary connection between prices and
profits, In one great industry we have
seen wages raised, prices lowered and
profits increased-all three in notable
degree-and the explanation is plain to
all men, increased volume of production.
The result has been some 25,000,000 of
passenger motor cars with seating cap

is getting tired of them. These signs
may not be conclusive, but they are well
come, particularly as not the least signi-
ficant of them are evinced by the farmer
group, to whom the medicine mems ap-
peals have been especially numerous
and urgent. Mr.. Davis had no Indian
snake oil to sell. All he said was that
every policy of government, business
and labor should be tested for its eff
cacy by the above simple principle.

He began the study of public

General John j. Pershing, who
headed the American Army during
the World War. advocates the reg

claims that if everyone in this
country could be identified at a
moments notice, criminals would
be apprehended more readily. If
criminals could be apprehended
readily, they would have less as
surance of getting away with a
contemplated crime.
Registration is a tried and
proved method in countries that
have long since learned to deal
with criminality; and the heads of
the departments of justice of these
countries claim that it costs far
less in actual money to prevent
crime than it does to bear the ex-
pense after it has been committed.
