AGREEING WITH THE PRESIDENT

81 am opposed to wage reductions.
Roosevelt.
In this position the gentleman in the White House
has widespread support. The problem is how to
maintain a high level of wages when the tide OF
revenue is ebbing. Business cannot pay out more
than it takes in unless it chooses to stand IN for
bankruptcy.
Who pays wages? 1t is an involved explanation.
A worker draws his wages from his boss, but his
boss does not create the funds for wages he looks
to consumers for funds wherewth to pay off his
employees High wages go with high prices, and
high prices cause an abatement in consumer de-
mand, such an abatement as is current.
The president being opposed to wage reductions
should be moving to accelerate business by tulhll-
ing promises he made on the hastings in 1882. He
should be demanding less for support of govern
ment He should be demobilizng the grand army
of bureaucrats. Mr. Roosevelt himself denounced
these marching bureaucrats when they were pro-
ceeding under the Hoover banner
The News and Courier, like the president, is OPP
posed to wage reductions but, unlike the president
The News and Courier does not believe the national
wealth to be inexhaustble. The News and Courier,
like the president, is eager for general prosperity
not only in the United States, but In the world at
large. However, The News and Courier, unlike the
president, still believes in the arithmetical tables
Also in agreement with the president when he
says THE markets of American industry depend
on the purchasing power of our working popula-
tion." The hitch is that the purchasing power Oh
the working population depends upon factors which
the Roosevelt administration has been GRIPPING.
Politicians cannot create prosperity, but they can
encourage it by keeping government in its chan
nels.
Sit-down strikes and the sabotage inherent IN
them interfere with conditions vital to prosperity.
Did the president by his studied silence not en-
courage the sit-down strikers? Did his minister of
labor not lend comfort to the lawless seizure Of
private property? Are not the cost of strikes re-

HER CRAFT TOO SMALL

The other day a Woman asked
a man in whom she had conf
dence how he would advise her
to invest ten thousand dollars
she had just received. The man
said that if he were in her place
ne would use the money prospect
ing for mineral wealth in her
state.
The man was sincere--but con-
slider the folly of such advice in
that case! The woman could and
probably would spend her entire
ten thousand dollars without get
ting a nickel for it. For her such
a financial move would be the
rankest sort of gambling.
Now, a rich mining company
could spend ten thousand, yes, q
hundred thousand dollars, pros
pecting, and lose every cent Of
it, yet still be doing wisely; for
the mining company, making
money on its operating mines,
would set aside q certain part Of
its profits each year solely for

WILL ENGLAND THROTTLE HER
PRESS FOR ITALY?
by BRUCE CATION

Either Great BRITAIN S aMUdSSduOI W
Rome is engaging in some fanciful dlplo-
matte skirmiShingS with the Italian foreign
minister or else the British empire is pre-
pared to go much further than any one has
anticipated in negotiating a truce with
Italy.
Cable reports from London tell of a
meeting between the Earl of Perth and
Count Galeazzo Ciano in which three prin-
cipal topics of an Anglo-Italian accord
were discussed. The third of these was
given as:
Immediate cessation of anti-ltalian
propaganda in the British press in return
for which Italy will guarantee not to in
clude anti-British propaganda in its pow
erful Bari radio station broadcasts."
1t is easy enough for Italy to promise her
end of that kind of an agreement. But it
comes as considerable of a shock to think
of England contemplating cessation OF
anti-Italian propaganda in the British
press"
Anti-Italian propaganda is an all-lnclu-
sive phrase that must be construed to cover
news stories, editorial comments, private
letters to the press and any printed matter
in any form which would reflect against
the Italian government, people or officials.
Freedom of the press is an actual liberty
in Great Britain, just as it has always been
in the United States. The government ex-
ercises no censorship, official or otherwise,
over the news or editorial policies of Eng
fish newspapers.
In the United States, when German dip
lomatic offices protested verbal onslaughts
against the Hitler government by New
York's Mayor LaGuardia, Secretary of
State Hull informed Germany that this was
a matter of freedom of speech. He further
said that for newspapers to print LaGuar-
dia's utterances was traditional freedom of
the press and positively not matter for
government interference. For the secre-
tary of state to even suggest to U. S. news
papers what they should or should not
print was unthinkable
English newspapers have been just as
unfnhibited. Their policies have been af-
fected by agreements among newspaper
publishers, but not by official pressure.
Is England, then, going to join Italy (and
Germany, Rumania, Japan, Turkey in Gre
ating government controlled press that
prints what it is told and omits what it is
told?
It's hard to believe that. The English
people fought long and bitterly for their
liberties. They'll fight just as long and
hard before giving them up. Lord Perth
must have had his tongue in his cheek
when that proposal was discussed.

bright pictures blurred and became a tumble.
But he must make up his mind - do something
at once.
"Well?" rasped the killer.
The old mans eyes suddenly narrowed.
shifted from the gittering gems to the cleaning
gun. He saw death. Himself dead; the cheap
little blonde in the room below, dead; the killer
ruthlessly spreading death down the corridors
of the theatre.
Take off your coat" he directed. and
crossed abruptly to his dressing table.
Eagerly the killer flung aside his coat and
hat and sat down, facing him. Mackaye. ignor-
ing the gun still clutched in his hand, observed
the contour of his face at glance and dove
for his makeup box.
First thorough cleansing with cold cream.s
Then deftly manipulated facial putty broads
ened the nostrils and built the straight nose
into an aquiline beak More putty elevated the
cheek bones and the point of the chin. A base
coat of flesh next covered the face. neck, and
ears.
Magically the face took on bushy white eye
brows; dark shadings sunk the cheeks, eyes,
and mouth; dark lines crinkled the eyes. aged
and heightened the brow; light blue. shot with
purple, thinned and aged the mouth.
Skilfully, unerringly. but at lightning speed.
the young face of the killer heightened, sunk,
and grew ancient. When MacKaye affixed the
white wig and blotted out several front teeth
with tooth blackener the killer sat before him,
an old man, senle and decrepit. MacKaye
snapped up the lid of a. trunk and extracted a
rumpled blue shirt and pair of badly worn
overalls.
