Is anyone so credulous as to believe that
Hitler will pause for moment when he
considers the time ripe to resume his march
to the Black Sea?
Thus, in a few paragraphs, this news
paper hurriedly attempts to give its read

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WORKERS (PoLITICAL) ALLIANCE

The growth of the Workers Alliance in scope
of activity more than in size is portent
which cannot be overlooked today. That organ
ization has brought about a situation unique in
the history of American politics, its convention
at Cleveland which has just closed amply demon
strated
What we now see is the organization Of relief
recipients now numerically at their height to date
for political expression. That the organization OF
the Workers Alliance cannot be for economic &C
tion as is the case with bona-fde labor unions Is
selfevdent failure to work to take other strike
action, would clearly have no real force as threat
Thus what the Alliance is seeking to do is to IN
fuence legislation bearing the subject of fed
eral relief by the election of representatives ia
vorable to it.
This activity is in effect, subsidized by the gov
ernment itself; the very government which is be-
ing drawn on for relief. The Alliance is financed
by the payment of dues of its members, and those
dues of course, simply represent fraction of the
money paid by the government in the form of
relief. Which, in turn goes back to assist in the
election of legislators who will vote for relief
Both the likelihood of permanence and the prob
able scope of relief have been increased by this
maneuver. And like all similar maneuvers, it will
bring in its train its own reaction. Those who pay
the bull Tor mefry-gO-TOullu Ol reIel polIlCS anu
more relief are not going to sit idle indefinitely
Sooner or later-and probably sooner-they are
going to take political action to eliminate this alb
surd situation by roofing it out at its source-that
is, by taking an active stand in favor of those
representatives who propose to see that relief is
reduced and eventually eliminated Those who are
actually in want and really dependent on relief will
then realize that they have been served badly by
ainb Of ifs
own hase aroused justifable resentment the
part of the tax-paying ctizenry.
And it is not merely question of taxes which
will cause this resentment. The political mpllca-
tions as to the manner in which the Workers AL
lance can focus the strength of upwards of 5000
600 government wards is factor of the first I'M
pOrtance.
The Workers Alliance has at least served one
salutary purpose; it has illuminated the danger of
permanent relief as other organization has
done.-Wa Street Journal.

But why dld George NaShlig-
ton refuse to consider third
term? Was it because he wished
to emphasize that no one man
should stay in the White House
long enough to think he owned it
and to build himself in SO strongly
that he could not be removed?
Probably what was in Gcorg"
Washington'S mind was that by
the time any man had served as
head of this nation for eight years
(if he lived that loug) he would
have had so much taken out of
him that the country might as
well have a sucked orange in the
presidency. And again that it
would be equivalent to murder to
return man to the White House
for a third term. How many cX-
presidents Of the U. S. A. are

mediately before Mn Roosevelt;

had he been reelected.

THREATENED RAIL STRIKE

President Roosevelt has acted with commendable
speed in his efforts to avert the threatened nation
wide strike of railroad workers.
By appointing three-member fact-hnding COM
mission to investigate the present wage dispute the
president has probably paved the way for satsfac-
tory settlement
Nearly million employees in 18 railroad unions
are committed to strike in an effort to prevent
Is per cent cut in pay.
Such a walkout, if permitted, would interrupt
interstate commerce and prove extremely damag
ing to the country at large.
The protesting railroad employees are entitled to
fair and impartial hearing, and on the other
hand the situation faced by their employers should
also be given careful consideration. With Chief
Justice Stacy, of our own state Prof. Mills of
Chicago University, and Dean Lands, of the Har-
ward Law School, named to ascertain the facts in
the dispute ali parties concerned are assured
square deal.
As the controversy now stands public opinion
does not seem to consider the proposed strike JUS
tfable. The Jackson, Miss, News takes the posi-
ton that the real issue resolves itself into the
question:
Should a few people demand and receive dur
ing period of severe depression higher incomes
than they ever received before, when they must be
dlrectly ana lnQreCtly ny INC resi- ol pew
pie from incomes averaging 40 per cent less than
before the depression?"
In an effort to prove this contention, The News
cites that during the first half Of 1888, railway
earnings were AZ per cent lower than in 1929,
and % per cent lower than in 1887. Yet the
average hourly wage paid railway employees was
Il per cent higher than in 1929, and 10 per cent
higher than in 1887.
The inevitable result of this combination of cr-
cumstances according to the Mississippi editor has
been reduction in both railway employment and
railway purchasing The number of railway work
ers in June 1888, was sol 900 less than in June,
1929, and 263,OOO less than in the month of
1887. And railway equipment and material pur-
chases in the first half of 1888 were $685. 900 900
less than in the first half of 1929, and $345,O00,
900 less than in the first half of 1887.
The Record is not sufficiently familiar with the
figures subn itted to know how accurate they are
but do know that The News states an incontro-
vertible truth when it says:
prosperity is the cause, not the effect, of high
wages . q. . and before we can have both full en-
ployment and high wages we must do the things
necessary to restore prosperity. Record.

tagc in which former President
Herbert Hoover was born at West
Branch u years ago is being re-
modelled under the direction Of
his wife and youngest son, Allan.
Until this summer the cottage
stood Just as it was rebuilt after
the Hoovers moved from il when
Herbert was 5 years old. How
ever, IA two-story house had been
constructed in front of it and the
tiny cottage had been shifted to
face in another direction.
Workmen put the cottage back
on its original site and removed
the other house. A carctakcr' :
lodge is being built in the rear Of
the cottage. It will be ready for
occupancy about the middle Of Oc-
tobcr, when the entire restoration
project is expected to be ccm-
pleted.
Both the exterior and interior
of the cottage have been painted
and the front yard is being land
scaped. New windows have been
set and wOrkshed. which some
times served as extra sleeping
quarters, is being rebuilt.

WTASHINGTON.-WhiIc pension
w plans take the center Of the
stage in the fall campaigns in sew
eral states, the fact is notable that
at last every state in the Union is
making some provision for the
needy aged.
Approval by the Social Security
Board Of Virginia'S plan made it
unanimous, and by the end Of this
month when the Virginia work be-
gins, nearly 100000 people over
65 years old will be getting aid
from the jointly financed state
and federal program.
That is a sizeable block Of peo-
pie, and represents not a paper
promise, but people actually re-
ceiving aid, inadequate though it
is in many cases. 1t is an accom-
plishment which. is the more
amazing when one recalls that the
act itself was passed only in 1885
and validated by the Supreme
Court in 1887.
Many proposals for extending,
improving, and increasing the
old-age benefits of the act are re-
posing in congressional pockets
awaiting the session that opens
Jan. l. Extensive revision of the
act at this session is unlikely, how
ever, despite pressure from the
Thirty Dollar and Townsend peo-
pie.
THE fact that you hear little
about the La Toilette Third
Party movement (National Pro-
gresSives) doesn't mean that it is
entirely quiescent. 1t is moving,
slowly but perceptibly, in the di-
rection Governor Phil La Toilette
has already mapped.
