CART AND HORSE,
MEXICAN STYLE

christian Science MMntor)
Without doubt President Cardenas is
walking on eggs in pursuing his eXpro-
priation policy with but perfunctory re-
gard for the problem of indemnificahon.
However, there is no apparent method OF
turning back for him. He would be walk
ing on eggs Just the same if he retreated.
For he came to power in 1884 with the
mandate, which the peasants will not
allow him to forget, of returning the
land to the peaSantry.
This mandate was the law of 1915,
was written into the 1917 Constitution,
but it was not put into effect till 1920,
and intermittent periods of disorganiza-
ton prevented any bold realization OF
the pledge till LaZarO Cardenas came to
office The President, pressed by his fol-
lowing, then speeded up appropriations
of the large estates, Mexican and for
eign, till the current rate is said to be
two week. On the heels of the rejection
of Secretary Hulls recent proposal of
arbitration on the agrarian claims OF
the dispoSSeSsed Americans, indeed, the
Mexican authorities seized 1000 acre
farm owned by United States citizen.
With the movement as such, none
least of all the present Washington ad-
miniStration = can withhold sympathy.
The Mexican peon is the lowliest agricul-
tural worker on the American continent
He lives so miserably that one authority
calls his lot "infra-human." 1t is doubt
full, however, whether the return of the
lands has ameliorated his lot.
One reason is that the farmer is not
endowed with the necessary tools. 1t is
certainly putting the cart before the
horse to give land away without making
sure that the farmer can earn living
on it. But that is indicative of a general
weakness in the Mexican reform move
ment. 1t has raised labor standards in
the cities so high that unemployment is
progressive 1t took over the oil proper
ties without knowing how to work them.
1t has alienated foreign capital while
still dependent upon foreign capital for
the national living standard. And, in
Secretary Eduardo Hays note to Secre-
tary Hull, it puts economics before
ethics.

HOW CAN WE HAVE
CONFIDENCE
NogaleS Herald)

(NogaleS Herald)
The pickup in the stock market, which
has been followed by a minor pickup
in some lines of industry, came as good
news to America. But the fact remains.
that no steady, stable improvement can
be anticipated until start is made to-
ward solving some of our major prob
lems-one of the most important of
which is taxation.
How can business have confidence so
long as the debt rises, the budget gets
farther out of balance, and higher or
new taxes become imminent? How can
the investor feel justified in taking
chance on placing his money in produc-
tive, job-creating enterprise SO long as
such punitive taxes as the capital gains
levy remain in force? How can corpora
tions feel optimistic toward the future
so long as such measures as the undis-
tributed profits tax make it impossible
to store up economic fat against possible
depressions of the future?
Business and investors don't ask the
impossible. The nation debt cannot be
eliminated overnight = but an honest
start can be made toward reducing it
gradually. The budget cannot be bal
anced in a minute-but a program can
be laid down and held to that will
achieve that end in a reasonable time
The tax base can be broadened, SO as
to give more people direct knowledge
of what government spending means to
them. And punitive, job-killng special
taxes can be repealed.

BRIDGES, PERKINS
AND COMMUNISM

If ever there was statement that
should set off a thorough investigation,
it is that of the special investigator Tor
a congressional committee, who charged
that the United States department OF
labor in effect laid down set of rules
under which Harry Bridges, west coast
CIO leader, could escape deportation
as an alien engaged in work against the
government.
No amount of official pressure, no
coercion of witnesses, no eVaSlVe state
ments, should be allowed to impede or
stop such an inquiry. The American peo-
pie have every right to know, and should
know, if any public official has in any
way aided Bridges or any other person
to evade the law.
1t has been evident to anyone for many
months that the department of labor,
under Secretary Frances Perkins, does
not want to deport Brides. There has
been the possibility all along, however,
that Bridges was not deportable. Even
though he were an admitted communist,
that fact alone would not be cause for
deportation. In this country man can
be and think anything he wants to. II,
however, Bridges were an active commu-
mist, then he would be deportable, and
he should be deported.
If a man favors communism, he can
say so and still be within the law in the
United States. If, however, he is an active
communist, following the doctrine he
processes to believe in, then he cannot
remain within the law, for person at
tempting to practice communism in this
country would perforce attempt to over
throw by force the American system of
government-and anyone who does that
is violating the nations law.
If Bridges is a communist at all, he
is an active one. Else why the trouble
and bloodshed he has stirred up in labor
and industrial relations? In view of these
new charges involving the labor. depart
ment it seems sensible to demand that
some impartial agency, outside the labor
departments control, should investigate
Bridges alleged affiliation with the
communists His status should not be
hard to uncover, once thorough in
quiry is begun.
Then, if it is determined that Bridges
is in fact an active communist, the inves-
tigation should proceed to the depart
ment of labor itself, even though it had
to go as far as Madame Perkins. Should
that Investigation substantiate the house
committee investigators report that the
department has aided Bridges in cam
paign to escape deportation, only one
satisfactory conclusion could be written.
1t would be resignation, and perhaps
prosecution, of the officials responsible
for betraying their trust in public office.

AMONG MOTORING'S
PUBLIC ENEMIES

Possibly not No. l of automobile traf-
fic's public enemies, but certainly rating
very high among that undesirable breed,
is the driver who speeds up when another
attempts to pass him, whether it is on
mountain grade or level highway. This
foe Of safety may convince himself that
it is his keen sense of competition that
causes him to press down the throttle
when some peaceable but hurrying fell
low of the road tries to go by. Actually
it is his intense, almost miraculous lack
of intelligence.
The truly courteous driver slows his
pace when another passes him going in
the same direction, giving the passer
every opportunity for safety. 1t is only
the Ounce who tries to turn the public
highway into a race track, with often
fatal results. fl

little home in Alloway, a shy.
sensitive child. He had an lmplsh
liveliness of spirit that prompted
him to annoy the neighbors with
his pranks. More than that they
branded him as untruthful, for
wasn't he always making up stories,
the likes of which no one had ever
heard in those parts? Pure imagi-
nation the kindest of the neighbors
said. Lies, all lies, said the sterner
Scotch Presbyterians. The children,
however. listened with pop eyes and
open mouths.
This impish lad who was a trial
to his parents was James M. Bar
rie. later knighted by the King OF
England for having continued to
develop that little understood imag-
ination.
At thirteen he announced that he
was going to write books. Friends
and relatives laughed, and shook
their heads His parents hadn't
been writer's; so, of course, the boy
couldn't write. What was the
younger generation coming TO with
such upstart notions? But the boy
went ahead. He wrote essays and
stories. They didn't sell. He kept
right on. And he read everything
he could get.
At the University of Edinburgh,
he continued to write, and for pas
time he joined a dramatic class, put
on grease paint and acted parts in
the college plays. College days over
he hied himself to London and
wrote for the newspapers. Some
times he was paid for it, but some
times. Finally he got job as
dramatic critic at a salary that
barely paid for his bed and por-
ridge. Through this and continued
hack-work, he picked up enough
English Shillings to keep from
starving. His encouragement was
punctured, however, with many re.
lection slips of the stories he trieo
to SELL
His first accepted work of fiction
"Auld LIGHT Idylls," was followed
by "A Window in Thrums "-anc
suddenly he was famous. Ther
came THE Little Minister" anc
Barrie had definitely arrived. Thi!
was dramatized in America anC
Barrie himself chose Maude Adam.
to play the leading role. There fol.
lowed a score of other plays ano
novels.
Barrie died last year and the en-
tire world mourned this boy whc
had once been the despair of hi
parents and an object of light ridi
cule for the neighbors.
Today, if you want even a bit o
his handwriting, you will have Il
pay fifty dollars for it.
If your child is different from
other children, who knows but tina
difference may be the trait tina

need nothing but perseverance t.

Famous Sayings

The man who remarked that he
could take care of his enemies If
someone would just protect him
from his friends might well have
been a member of a labor union,
1888 model. For labor is having its
biggest trouble right now with its
own chosen leaders.
The split between the American
Federation of Labor and the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization
is of course, the most obvious ex-
ample. Even more damaging, how
ever, in some respects is the row
which currently is tearing the Unit
ed Auto Workers apart.
This appears to be a civil war in
the high command. One group ac-
cuses the other of being Com
munist- dominated and inspired;
that group retorts that the oppo-
sition is led by "Lovestoneites," an
offshot faction of the original COM
munist party which is in sworn OPP
position to Stalinist leadership.
The battle RACES merrily. Officials
are expelled from the unions ex-
ecutive board. Charges and counter
charges are hurled freely, and con-
siderable of dirty linen Is washed
publicly, and the rival leaders busi-
" seek support from the rank and
file pending a possible general con-
Vention.
All of this may be stimulating ana

Nebraska agreement -.
Frankfurter apprOUed! 3.
RY RODNEY BUTCHER

WAof11NN yin DIS iAS"S'
Nebraska senators have agreed Oh
something!
Senator George w. Norris, veteran
progressive leader, has publicly urg-
ed President Roosevelt to APPOINT
Felix Frankfurter of harvard Law
school to the supreme court vacancy
created by the death of Justice Car
doza.
Sen. Edawrd Burke, who stayed
in Washington this summer to make
anti-New Deal statements and then
endorsed Vice President Garner for
president in 1910 as he LETT for Eu-
rope has indicated that he would
be glad to vote for Frankfurter's
confirmation.
But. predicts Burke, Roosevelt
won't appoint Frankfurter because
the latter was not in favor of the
presidents supreme court plan.
Burke is likely to be wrong on
both counts. Frankfurter now has
an inside track on the court vacan-
cy.
If his friends are to be believed,
F'rankfurter didn't publicly support
the court plan because his friend
and mentor Justice Louis d. Bran
deis begged him not to. Brandels
was so shocked by the plan that
=.
his Younger disciple, foemost dis
ciple of the Brandeis philosophy,
needed his plea. But the army OF
young Frankfurte- lawyers IN
Washington, led by the professors
closest associates, Tom Corcoran
and Ben Cohen, battled for the
plan.
Roosevelt long intended to ap-
point Frankfurter to the Brandels
seat when the latter resigned But
Brandeis. now 81 years old, indicates
no intention of resigning. Mrs
Brandcis has urged against it. And
insiders insist Roosevelt is now IN
clined to elevate Frankfurter with
out waiting for Brandeis' departure
Speaking of Corcoran and Cohen;
Cohen wns Cardoza's closest
friend in Washington. He has re-
cruited young Joseph Rauh, Tor
two years Cardoza's secretary, for
his own staff. Cohen is general
counsel of the National Power Pol
icy committee.
Similarity Corcoran, once secre-
tary to Justice Oliver Wendel
Holmes and-next to Frankfurtel
perhaps Holmes closest associate
until his death, put James Rowe OF
his own staff. Rowe was Holmes
last secretary. He is now assistan
to White House secretary Jlmm!
