The president, in his press
conference on Tuesday, put for
ward an excellent suggestion
The anti-lynching bill has been
lynched by southern reaction
aries. But Mr.. Roosevelt does
not think the mater should be
allowed to rest.
He proposed that Congress
either authorize the attorney
general to investigate wenever
and wherever mob violence
occurs or that standing con-
gressional committee a sort
of permanent "LaFollette com
mitee" BE established to in
vestigate and report all viola
tions of civil rights.
We prefer the latter alter
native. Mr.. Roosevelt was ask
ed whether a committee of this
kind could be used to probe the
killing of eleven Little Steel
strike demonstrators by police
last May His reply was that
that it could.
A permanent civil rights com
mitee could look into violations

|OlEnESS WORLDS most
EXPENSIVE LUXURY

Hon. Kent E. Keller, Ill. Rep.
Our fall down came when we
failed to enable men to purchase
things they would willingly have
worked for. The most expen-
sive thing in the world is idle
ness. The cheapest thing is
well-paid labor. Many nations
like our own have declared their
purpose to prevent starvation:
not one, not even our own, has
seen the necessity of enabling
enabling men to turn this
tremendous idleness into the
creation of wealth by providing
univ ersa | employment. We
must awaken to thi S vital
necessity.
We can,if we will, put every
idle man in American to Great
ing wealth by putting them to
work. Surely the work waiting
to be done, useful work, much
of it of permanent value, is cry
ing to us endless in extent and
variety. There is no limit to
the things that ought to be done
wen we open our eyes to the
fact that we can do them.
We are told that there are
100000 men and women un-
willingly idle at the present
time in the United States. What
is the loss of the labor costing
us? Let us see: The average
wage in America is 50 per day.
Our loss is therefore $4O,O0O,0O0
a day. In a year of $50, days
the cost of our idleness is, ten
bilIien- dollars, ten billion dollars
lost through unwilling idleness
alone e. It Is challenge to
every member of this body, to
every thinker in America, to
discover and announce t h e
methods of saving these billions
in money value and the m u C h
more valuable thing of prevent
ing the waste of the lives of the
men and women of this country.

SENATE BATTLE
AWAITS SHRINE

A vigorous Senate fight on the
proposed $3,OOO,OOO Thomas JEFF
ferson memorial appeared certain
today as the Senate appropria-
tions deficiency subcommittee pre-
pared to file a report.
The final deficiency bill, al
ready approved by the House,
contains a $500,0OO appropriation
to begin construction of the
memorial at the end of the Tidal
Basin.
Three Senators already have
indicated they will fight the pro-
posal, despite White House ap-
proval of the design and location,
both of which were the basis of
an unsuccessful opposition in the
House.
Senators William H. King CD,
of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, and Joseph
F. Guffey CD, of Pennsylvania
appeared before the deficiency
subcommittee yesterday to oppose
the appropriation.
In addition, Senator Ryan F.
Duffy DO, of Wisconsin, a mem
ber OF the deficiency Subcom-
mittee, announced his opposition.
In the meantime, formal pro.
test against the memorial was
lodged at the White House by the
National Competitions Committee,
quoting from outstanding archi'
tects who oppose the design.
