THERE MUST BE REFORM IN RELIEF

Take it all in ALL this relief business, while prob
ably the administrations greatest political asset is
also the most ndefersible activity 1t is being con-
Quoted at vast cost as to threaten the stability
of the government, and in so muddled way as to
shock every man who abhors waste and believes
that the last thing which politics should touch is
the relief 'of human misery. Those who advocate
the return of relief to nonpartsan local commit
tees can urge it on three sound grounds-rst, that
it would remove relief from politics; second that
it would save a lot of money now wasted; third
that the destitute and distressed would be better
cared for Whether there will be a sufficient
change in the complexion of the next congress to
bring about this vitality needed reform is doubtful
but two things are sure-irst, a majority of the
thoughtful men in House and Senate know the
present system is bad and the other would be bet
ter; second, If the change comes it will be against
the will Of Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Hopkins, both
OF whom are irrevocably committed to the Federal
administration of relief and each of whom has
obvious reasons for resisting. Prank Kent in The

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE INSTANT NEED"

In that noem entitled 1.-The American Spirit
Speaks" Kipling pictures the American as rather
eccentric person with, however few redeeming
qualities. among which is that, confronted with a
real emergency, HE turns calm untroubIed gaze
home to the instant need Of things" We have for
several anxious weeks concentrated our thoughts
upon one great danger, which, beyond our borders
tbopgh il was. seemed to threaten the foundations
of our national peace. 1919 ... .-,...... -.
That particular danger has passed, and it is time
for US to turn to 'the instant need OF things at
home There is ''need" and it is instant 1t so
happens, too that just as the outside worlds po-
litical emergency while it lasted dominated our
domestic concerns, our domestic need now dom-
mates the worlds economic concerns as 1t has not
done since the onset of the depression. In word,
the worlds economic health is today dependent in
an unusual degree upon recovery by us Of some
thing like a normal state of things in our own
economic life.
We all know what that recovery requires. We
all know what is our "need" It is simple and it is
manifest All we need is the assurance that road
is still open for resumption Of enterprise by pr-
vate capital and private initiative in the further
development of our country. With that assurance
we can deal with the many serious difficulties that
are yet to be faced, and we can win our way out.
Without it, we face prospect dark not only for
ourselves but for the whole world
How can we get that assurance?
There is al least step that we can soon take.
In five weeks we shall elect new House of Rep
resentatives, and one-thrd of a Senate member
ship Regardless Of all other considerations, it is
imperative that the Congress shall at the earliest
moment recover that independence of thought,
speech and action which governmental struc-
ture requires and which for six years has been
sadly in allegiance. If every one of its acts during
those six years had been of the wisest, the fact
that they had been dictated by the executive branch
would still be fatal flaw in the whole.
That they have been of the wisest, few would
today dare to assert. That, whether deliberately
so planned or not they have gone far to substitute
for an economy resting primarily upon individual
initiative and enterprise structure closely ap-
proximating state capitalism is beyond dispute,
for the pattern Of the laws speaks for itself.
Now it is time for US to find out whether this
is what the people want. We can find this out only
from legislature composed of men who will think
and vote for themselves. Our first need is an indie
pendent legislature, and November 9Th is our OPP
portunty to get it. After we have it we can begin
to see where we are going.-Wall Street Journal.

WASHINGTON. - New York's
w election campaign is the big
one of 1888 and it ties in with the
presidential year 1910 from sew
eral interesting and important
angles.
Candidates for governor are:
DISTRICT ATTORNEY THOM-
AS E. DEWEY, 36-year-old racket
buster who accepted the Repub-
lican nomination with a promise
to continue his warfare on crime.
GOVERNOR HERBERT H.
LEHMAN, now ending third
term.
Prospect of Dewey's nomina-
ton has been bothering New
Deal politicians in Washington for
the last year. Republicans pomi-
mated him unanimously and en-

the only Republican who could
win and would be unbeatable
except perhaps by Senator Rob-
ert F. Wagner or Governor Leh-
man, who wanted TO run for the
Senate seat of the late ROYAL s
Copeland. Almost to the end, Ma
tlonal and State Democratic
Chairman Jim Farley depended
on his ability to persuade his
friend Wagner to run for COVER
nor. Wagner refused. Only Leh-
mans last-minute acceptance of a
draft drive cleared up political
mess which threatened almost Ger
tam loss of the Empire State next
November.

party and the ties-if any-be-
tween some of its shadier char
acters and some of the party's
state and national leaders have
never been exposed. Dewey in
the course of his investigations
may have learned a great deal.
Rumor says he has.
Aside from Dewey's threat as
Republican candidate for 1910
if he wins the governorship,
Washington is intensely interest
ed in the control of New York's
big delegation to the next Demo-
cratic national convention. Leh-
man, if reelected, will have
large voice on that delegation.
This hardly pleases Roosevelt and
Farley, neither OF whom is on
cordial terms with Lehman. But
they would feel much worse if
they lost the state to the Repub-
licans.
Roosevelt hoped all along to
thwart Lehman's desire to come
to the Senate, even persuading
reluctant President Sidney Hill
man of the Anlalgamated Cloth
ing Workers to 1et: his name be
used as an American Labor Party
candidate, in hopes that the
threat might help dissuade Leh-
man. That didn't work out and
Hillman was widely accused of
personal ambitions he never har-
bored. Other considerations per-
suaded Lehman to give up the
Senate race.

POLITICIANS AND BUSINESS

No federal board is wise enough to tell business
what to do. says United States Senator Joseph Z.
O'Mahoney, of Wyoming, in the Redbook maya
zine. Washington is trying to run a mneey-mhe-
an-hour economic system with twenty-mile-an
hour political system whereby business Is retarded
seriously. @t 'N. - -. ,,..,-.
Mr.. o'Mahoney speaks truly. Politicians in bust
ness play the mischief with business. Congress is
to blame for defeating wide authority to Roose-
veItian bursadcrats who order business and indus
try to do their bidding under laws which hold back
natural forces. Congress has the authority to re-
scind it's laws whereby bureaucrats are on the
necks Of business and industry. Charleston News

PARENTS BEWARE

+ AIKEN > De WANE
1t is said that whatever a child
sees enacted in the lives of his
parents will be re-enacted in some
degree in his own life. That as
sertion may be rather overstated
but there is enough truth in it to
cause parents with a sense Of re-
sponsobility to view their own be-
havior gravely.
Of course sometimes a parents
conduct is so reprehensible as to
cause the child to vow by all that
is precious that he himself will
never be guilty of such misbeha-
vior. But by and large, like faith
er like son and like mother like
daughter. AS a rule parents are
not only building their own lives
and characters but the lives and
characters of their children.
MAY l be born to parents in
whose footsteps | may safely fol-

Washington. Feb. Is - (UP0 - The United States must consider the possible dangers of pro-Fascist al- liance between Germany, Italy and Japan in planning naval expansion, Representative Byron N. Scott, D., California, warned the house naval affairs committee today.
 Scott made the statement during questioning of Representative Ham, ilton Fish, R., New York. who op- posed President Roosevelt's $800,- 10000 naval building program. Fish argued that bigger navy would be used to police the world" ill par allel action" with Great Britain.
 Suggesting that the anti-Com- munist agreement between Japan, Italy and Germany also may con- Stitute a pro-FaScist pact, Scott said: If we are not going to police the world we must prepare our de- lenses against 8 pro-Fascist alliance on the part of those three nations" {" Scott said that Japanese espionage is we'll known, and that Gearmany is spreading propaganda in South America" II can see your point of view" said Fish, but l think you exaggerate the possibility of action by these nations. Which have their hands full at home" T don't think we can fear too much the illogical unreasonable actions of Hitler, Mus Solini and the Mikado," Scott said.
 Fish was questioned about his as-

sertions that the United States has naval understanding with Great Britain by Representative Michael J. Stack, D., Pennsylvania. Do you believe" asked Stack, that we are heading into an alliance with Great Britain?" If you put that on the basis of a definite, written agree ment," said Fish, my answer is no. But if it Is on the basis that we are now holding daily intercourse with the highest authorities of the Brit ish Empire for parallel action, which means concerted action my answer is yes. We have understandings for definite parallel action. That's ex- actly why I'm fearful this navy will be used to go into parallel action with Great Britain to police the world"
 Representative Ralph O. Brewster, R., Maine, asked Fish whether the United States was without sin" in criticizing Japan. He recalled Amer ican bombing of Vera Cruz with the killing of POO civilians, and the seiz- ure of Panama soil because we "con- sidered it vital to our interests" Fish agreed these incidents were exactly analogous" to Japanese operations i in China. Fish testified as congress sional critics of United States for eign bailey accused naval officials of creating war scare and demanded that President Roosevelt clarify his international policy.

GRAND JURY HAS
 KEMP RECORDS
Former Darien Republican Leader Was Appraiser
 on Merritt Highway

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Feb. 16-(UP) Personal and business records of G. Leroy Kemp, state highway de- partment appraiser, were in possess sion of the state today for presenta- ton before an extraordinary grand Merritt parkway land purchases.
 The formmer Darien state Repub- lican representative, who had been subpenaed to testify before the jury concerning his negotiations for the rights-of- way, was excused indefl- nitely by States Attorney Lorm w. Willis late yesterday. It was on his appraisals that most of the more than 432 payments were made.
 Fourth Week
 The jury, completing the fourth week of it's inquiry. has questioned 60 land owners, real estate agents and brokers and state officials in Its effort to determine whether there were criminal violations in connec- tion with the $20,000,000 parkway construction.
 Dr. Alvin D. WadSWorth, Nor walk, who received $l55,000 for five tracts of land, spent two days on the witness stand before the jury recessed yesterday. He was due to be recalled, probably today.
