Farrell MacDon- aid, the veteran character actor, is a city editor Janet Beecher is a militant feminist Others in the cast are Rita Johnson, Roger Converse, Brent Sargent, Charles Waldron, Quinn Williams and Paul Harvey.

PLENTY OF PRIVATE RESOURCES
AVAILABLE

The focused opinion of observers and common
tators seems to be that little business in America
primarily wants capital and credit in the present
emergency.
This conviction is formed out of the JabberIng
that was heard in Washington during the presi-
dents conference with this group.
In other words, we take it, what little business
went to Washington for was to make known Its
desire to gain freer access to federal bounties IN
one form or another.
That's difficult to understand in one sense, and
easy in another.
It's easy if we consent that the prevailing psy'
chology sweeping over all classes OF our peo'
pie in this country today is to milk the old pubic
cow down to the last drop instead OF getting out
and providing cow of ones own
It is difficult to understand, however, IN view OF
the well-known fact that the private banks Of the
United States are running over with money which
they would like to put out on the proper kind OF
collateral ..
Business that is honest and reliable and able to
show what is required to borrow can get all the
money it needs from these institutions at rates OF
interest virtually as low as demanded by the gov
eminent when all of the latter's fol-de-rol and red
tapefsms are met-Charlotte Observer. '..=

THE SILVER SCANDAL

Secretary Morgenthau told house committee
last week that he does not believe in subsidies OF
any kind. That is to his credit. In particular, he
said he does not believe in the silver subsidy. That
is even more to his credit for in this, he IS obVl-
ouslv different fundamentally from Mr.. Roosevelt,
his chief.
For the president does believe in substituting.
He believes, at least, in substituting the few big
mining and smelling companies that seem always to
be able to get a few Rocky mountain senators to
"front" for them.
The silver scandal under the new deal has been
outrageous from the beginning The president had
his opportunity to end it quietly when the system
lapsed at the end of last year. Indeed, he renewed
it. If there was any doubt before as to where he
stands on subsidies, there can be none now.
With the world price at about 43 cents ounce,
the president agreed to pay domestic producers of
silver 6464 cents until further notice. We cannot
imagine why the complicated decimal was intro
duced, unless to make what is personal and arbi-
trary appear somehow scientific. The president
could as easily have set 63 cents, or IS.
However, 64.64 makes much sense to US as
1851, which is what the president was previously
paying his mining and smelling company friends.
And inasmuch as this does reduce their subsidy
from 34.57 cents an ounce to 21.64, the tax-payng
public, we presume, should be correspondlngly
grateful The silver subsidy is not treasury pol
icy. If there any doubt of this Secretary Nor
genthaus testimony has removed it, 1t is, OF course
a presidential-that is, a political-policy Presl-
dent Roosevelt wants the support of the Rocky
Mountain senators. He thinks that the way to get
it is to pay subsidies to the smelling companies
In his mind the end presumably justites the means
For our part, we think that means and ends are
equally bad-Chieago Daily News.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE NEW HOUSING ACT

With passage of the new federal housing Dill,
only the presidents signature being necessary as
this is written to make it the law of the land, there
seems little doubt that this piece of Legislation,
the spring, will mean in its immediate erect
a substantial building boom, particularly in the low
cost housing field, throughout the country
There is a great deal to be said in the programs
favor. 1t will serve constructive purpose in more
ways than In actual building operations, there
will be stimulus for industry and aid to employ
ment over an expanding field. Along with this ma
terial contribution will go an intangible Influence
which cannot be underestimate. There is no surer
factor in the development of good citizenship than
home-ownership. The national life, after ALL will
rise fall the status of the home.
The real test of the act, however, will come IN
its application and its ultimate effects upon the ma
tional economy as a whole. Obviously, it will fall
far short of its purpose unless the little man is ac-
corded the aid and brought into the building held
as is intended. Success here hinges upon actual
building costs The saving on interest and carrying
charges on, say, $4,000 home is relatively small
under the new act; total of only about $3.50 on
the entire cost throughout the long period for which
the obligation is carried, as we recall. LoW-cost
housing, in the successful application of the word,
involves material costs and labor COSTS 1t is in this
dual field, with all it's economic and political ram-
cations, that the challenge to any substantial hous-
ing program lies.
There are likewise certain other, if indirect, dan
gers which must be considered. Willingness and,
for that matter, actual ability of private lending
agencies to cooperate in the financial program are
essential. Due caution will be taken, we trust, IN
the soundness of loans which the federal govern
ment UNDERWRITERS There is grave danger that
many irresponsibles, those who not in position
to assume such obligations, will be spurred into
taking advantage of what appears to be easy money
In event the government has to step in and take
over stable portion of these holdings, the effect
in actual losses and in the generation Of ill-eelng
and political opposition, must be appreciated.
Home-ownership is attribute to be recon-
mended most highly. What we are trying to say
however, is that nobilities may not be proud or
enduring when they come too easily.-Greensboro

Der of the lower house of Congress, is an
outstanding and successful citizen OF the
nation. The only criticism that can be OF
fered of Congressman Barton by certain
groups of citizens is that he is successful
There is nothing against his character
his father was a Christian minister; Bruce
Barton began life at the bottom and is
salf-made success-the opinions of Con-
gresham Barton will certainly carry
weight with the intelligent and unpreju-
diced people of the country. We quote
Barton on the subject of electing business
men to run the United States government:
at may be argued with good deal of force
that one Edison is worth hundred sessions of
congress and chat one Hnry Ford has had more
influence on the development and prosperity and
happiness of the country than half dozen of our
minor presidents.
Business is the important thing; business Is
the great uplifter of living standards the enamel
pator from drudgery, the creator of a fuller life
Years ago Henry Ford took hold of the auto
mobile when it was heavy, cumbersome, eomph-
Gated machine which only skilled mechanic could
keep in operation. He cut out dozens of superflu-
Gus parts reduced the weight and the cost and
produced machine which anyone-even some who
are below the level of normal intelligence-can
operate.
"If the automobile had developed in the same
way that the political machine has developed, it
would weigh ten tons and cost $4,000; it would
have attached to it steamroller, lawnmower, an
egg beaten, a permanent wave machine and heaven
only knows what else The services of five or six
high-priced men would be required to get it out
of the garage and on to the road
"The best thing that could happen to this coun-
try would be the election of hundred business
to congress"
That is a very modest suggestion by Con-
gresham Barton that a hundred business
men should be elected to Congress. He
does not suggest that the business classes,
including the farmers, who keep the coun-
try going, feed and elothe it, supply all
necessary commodities and services, and
supply the money which the politicians
and experimenters spend, should have an
overwhelming majority in Congress but
only that sufficient number of business
men be sent to Washington to leaven the
political lump.
A hundred able business men, especially
men of great courage with the will to fight
the evils and dangers which beset the ma
ton at present and now control in Con-
gress, would be able to accomplish much
for the restoration of normal and prosper
Gus conditions. All members of the lower
house and one-third of the Senators are to
be elected this year. 1t is time for the in
telligent, patriotic Americans of this coun-
try to begin study of the problems in
connection with the election of another

THEMES FOR THOUGHT
WHAT ABOUT US?
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

WHAT ABOUT US!
The United States has never
been a genuine democracy. 1t has
been governed by special inter-
ests or oligarchies in the form of
business rings and political ma
chimes. So far these special inter-
ests have not oppressed the peo-
pie sufficiently to open the way
to the rise Of dictator. But if
the pressure on the masses should
become sufficiently severe, a die
tator will rise. Therefore, it is to
the interests Of the special inter
ests to treat the people so fairly
that there will be no place on OPP
portunity for a dictator.
The reason history repeats it
self is that the circumstances
which make history repeat them
selves.

UliE Republican senator's, all OF
whom with the exception of
Arthur Capper Of Kansas voted
against the cloture which would
have forced a vote on the anti

cause they didn't want Democrats
to get credit for an anti-lynching
vote among Negro voters.
Even more conspicuous, II. any
one looked twice at the roll call,
was the fact that none of the G.
o. P. senators had any substantial
colored constituency to worry
about. States with large Negro
populations haven't been electing
Republican senators in recent
years and so there just aren't any
Republican senators from those
states today except Jim Davis of
pennsylvania. This is just one
more evidence that the mass OF
the Negro vote has swung from
the Republicans to the Democrats.
Any Republican who had to
think of the colored vote pre-
s,Imably would have voted for
cloture. Davis was paired in favor,
Other Republican senators come
from New England, Idaho, Cali
fornia, Oregon, Delaware, North
Dakota and Michigan.

is important was Senator j. Ham
