for almost exactly one year the

President Roosevelt at Chicago on
October 5, 1887:
THE people Of the United
States give thought to the rest
Of the world .. The present reign
Of terror and lawlessness has now
reached . stage where the very
foundations Of civilization are
seriously threatened If these
aggressions and inhumanities in

trality When an epidemic Of
physical disease starts, the COM
munity joins in . quarantine Of
the patient. For the very reason
that America hates war, there
must be positive endeavors to pre-
serve peace"
Secretary Hull at the National
Press Club. Washington, on March
II, 1898:
THE fundamental principles Of
American foreign policy are based
on justice and morality and peace
among nations. This Government
is willing to exchange information
with other governments having
common interests and common
objectives and to proceed along
parallel lines, while retaining inde-
pendence Of Judgment and freedom
Of action Isolation Is not .
means to security. but fruitful
source Of insecurity Unless
there is concerted effort, there is
small hope Of preventing the en-
thronement Of the doctrine Of
force. and, in its wake, inexorably,
Z relapse into barbarism. -
In worldwide broadcast on
August 16. 1898, Secretary Hull vigor-
ously denounced anew the violations
of treaties and overthrow OF estab-
lished government. and reiterated his
oft-proclaimed faith In international
law, disarmament and reduction OF
trade barriers.
On September 10, 1898, on the eve
Of the Czech crisis, in . public &C.
ceptance Of Peru's invitation to the
Eighth Pan-American Conference,
Secretary Hull said:

nation and no government can
avoid the issue. Neither can any

blocks, many stories high, and housing
thousands Of families have been the rule
there. The two principal causes for this
type Of construction have been the
enormous cost of land and the congestion
Of the metropolitan population. Such
conditions do not exist in the National
Capital. Land for such projects is COM
paratively cheap; adequate transportation
and lack Of business and industrial
congestion allow for the spreading out
toward the suburbs.
1t Is very easy for small measure Of
managerial inefnciency to turn an enor-
nous low-cost apartment building In a
typical low-cost location into a veritable
slum in a short time.
Under the plan proposed by Mr.. Ihlder
for Washington the units can be built
in pleasant environment, their smallness
allowing for closer supervision and more
careful management. The idea involves
the concept Of a home rather than a
mere shelter pandering to the gregarious-
ness of the type of individual usually to
be found inhabiting slums. 1t is the
best, If not the only cure for what
sociologists describe as the "slum disease"
the influence which makes some under
privileged persons prefer the convenience
OF squalor to the duty Of decent living.

Steel Center Moving West,

From the Wheeling wv. va) News-Resister
Nearly half of the finished iron and
steel products rolled in the United States
last year was produced in the States of
Ohio, Michigan. Indiana and Illinois,
while as recently as 1901 those States
produced little more than one-fourth
OF the Nations finished steel.
The increasing Importance Of Mid
western States among steel-producing
areas as shown by statistics reported
annually to the American Iron and Steel
Institute, was accompanied by cores
ponding decreases in the proportion Of
the total finished steel output produced
in Pennsylvania. New England, New
York and New Jersey.
Steel mills in Pennsylvania in 1875
rolled 80 per cent of the total Of 1885,
600 gross tons of iron and steel produced
that year, and in 1901 about 56 per cent
of the total of 12,349, 900 gross tons was
produced there. BY comparison, the
output in Pennsylvania during 1887
represented only 80 per cent of the total
of 36 6766, 900 tons. Despite the increase
IN steel output in other regions. Pennsyl-
vania has continued to maintain its
rank as first among Steel-producing
States in actua! volume Of output.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Motor accidents over Labor Day week

States, 8 in Kentucky, IA in Indiana,

Of the most heavily travelled highways
in the country.
Last year there were 274 deaths; but
the returns are not all in yet for this
year and some haven't expired in the

the number injured must run into thou
sands, many Of them manned for life.
Week end holidays permit Of long
journeys. Speed is increased by the
hurry Of motorists to reach their desti-
nations and to get back home from
them. There is more passing at high
speed. The safety of automobile oc-
cupants and travellers they meet on the
road is in the hands of tired, sleepy,
homeWard- bound drivers.
Traffic Of the most dangerous char
acter is densest on these occasions
motorists driving beyond their customary
speed. When every known condition en-
joins extraordinary caution, no caution
at all is observed by enough drivers to
render the prudence Of the rest unavail-
ing. Yet, week end holidays afford the
only opportunity for millions Of families
to enjoy trip together and that makes
the consequences often the more tragic.

Democrats of Maryland's third congress
sional district, who last Monday refused
to nominate him for another term.
Mr.. Palmisano did not become chair
man Of the committee because of any
special qualifications. He fell heir to
the post through seniority. The dis
franchised residents Of the District had
nothing to say about his selection;
neither will they have voice in naming
his successor.
Representative Ambrose ]. Kennedy Of
Maryland, who for nearly two years has
been the ranking majority member, will
become chairman If he will accept the
post. To do so will mean a sacrifice to
him, because he would be forced to
relinquish the Craftsmanship of the more
important Claims Committee. House
rules do not permit member to head
two committees.
Mr.. Kennedy has promised to reach a
decision within a week. If he does take
the Craftsmanship, the District can rest
assured that its problems will receive the
attention they deserve, and that it's legis-
lative interests will be promoted and
protected by a member who already has
shown his deep and sympathetic interest
in all local affairs.
But should Mr.. Kennedy pass up the
Craftsmanship, the post automatically
would 60 to Representative Jennings
Randolph of West Virginia, another
member of the committee, who also is
vitality concerned about the welfare of
the people of the District-a concern
that moved him in the past session of
Congress to sponsor legislation that
would give the voteless residents both
"home rule" and national representa-
ton.
To the District, the committee is far
too important to have at its head
member who is unsympathetic, or in
different toward the problems of the
city and its legislative needs. Fortunately,
the two members who, by seniority, are

The Aviation Industries.
From the Chicago Tribune.


The Army is transferring the general
headquarters air force from Langley
Field, Va, to Scott Field, near Belleville,
Ill. Illinois was selected because of its
strategic location, long recognized by the
commercial air lines which converge in
Chicago and maintain operating head
quarters here.
1t is to be hoped that the move by the
Army will serve as an encouragement to
the aviation industries to transfer their
manufacturing activities to the Chicago
region. 1t is uneconomical to build en-
gines in Connecticut and planes in Cali
fornia. and particularly so when it is
remembered that many of the materials
for both engines and planes come from
the central area of the Nation Of which
Chicago is the industrial capital.
The Association Of Commerce and SIM
liar organizations have had some sue
cess in attracting aviation industries to
Chicago. The efforts should be re-
doubled. We have what the industry
needs. In addition to a central location
and access to raw materials we have
large numbers Of men who have acquired
skill in airplane and engine assembly
through employment in the repair shops.
We have thousands Of workmen accus-
toned to handling precision machinery
and a record Of wholesome labor rela-
tions in recent years which few commun-
tiles can equal.
Our industrial schools are already
training young men as airplane me-
chanics and will cooperate with manu-
facturers in improving the courses and
making them more practical. Capital
for development is available. In short,
Chicago is the ideal site for airplane and
airplane engine manufacture.

End of the Purge.

The Presidents ill-fated purge of
Democratic Senators who refused to 60
down the line for the New Deal has
served the useful purpose of clearing
the political atmosphere of doubt as to
whether the American people want what
in effect was to have been a one-man
government.
Without doubt, the results Of the
primaries in South Carolina, Maryland
and Georgia were influenced to some
extent by purely local considerations,
but that does not Offset the fact that
the Democrats in all three States have
emphatically rejected Mr.. Roosevelts
plea for the nomination of candidates
who will think and vote in the mold
cast by the New Deal From that 1t is
only fair to assume that the people in
States whose Senators opposed such
measures as the Supreme Court bill and
the reorganization bill desire National
Legislature composed OF members who
will act and vote according to the dictates
of their own judgment.
The idea of a Congress that is wholly
subservient to the political philosophy
of the party that happens to be in power,
or, as in this case, faction within the
party, is foreign to democracy as the
term is understood in this country. Such
subserviency might conceivably result in
speedier and perhaps more efficient gov
ernment, depending on the quality Of
craftsmanship Of the directing agency,
but in the long run it would surely de-
stroy the freedom of individuals and
institutions which has made America a
land of promise to oppressed peoples
throughout the world
Surely, it is not too much to hope
that Mr.. Roosevelt will take this lesson
to heart; that henceforth he will be
content with the great powers that
properly are his and will not push his
fight to deprive the Congress of powers
which have been allocated to its men,
bers, and which, apparently. they exercise
with the full approval of their con-
stituents.
