million dollars of IVA funds can

Chairman Arthur &c. Morgan
continues to demand a Congress

the IVA reeks with graft and mis-

states that he has on several oc-

sought to get the President to
clean up the situation but without
results.
Coast Guard Examination
On June 8, 1888, competitive ex-
aminations will be held for the
United States Coast Guard Acad-
envy at New London, Connecticut.
This examination is open to young
men between the ages of II and
%. The mental requirements are in
general those required for admis-
sion to an engineering college. The
four year course is practically the
same as the courses at the Naval
and Military Academies and upon
graduation a cadet is eligible for a
commission in the Coast Guard as
Ensign. Closing date for receipt of
completed applications is May IL,
1888, so it is suggested that those
interested in taking the examina-
ton communicate Immediately
with the Commandant, u. S. Coast
Guard, Washington, d. c.

Increase Tax On Liquor
On last Friday the House, by a
substantial majority, voted to in
crease the tax on spurious liquors
from 81 to $2.25 per proof gallon.
Under the present rate enforce
ment officers raid and destroy over
200 stills each week and I fear that
the number will he increased under
the new rate. It seems that we do
not learn from past experience. 1t
should be plain that the higher the
tax the greater the incentive to
the Illicit distiller and rum runner.
My guess is that the increased rate
will materially reduce receipts and
increase sales of moonshine.

Observations
from Washington
BY Congressman Harold Knutscn
A World Gone Mad

BY CONGRESSMAN Harold Knutscn
A World Gone Mad
Two measures OF the greatest
Importance to our people were re-
ported to the House last week
one. the billion dollar Navy bill,
which is to be in addition to the
$40 million dollar appropriation
voted two weeks ago, and also in
addition to the four billion dollar
authorization made under the Vim
-Trammell Act passed several
years ago. The second bill would
set UP a dictatorship in time of
war.
Seriously, I sometimes wonder If
we have lost our senses and also if
we are not going headlong to des-
truction as a nation. 1t seems that
no proposal Is too fantastic If 1t
comes from the White House and
I assume that the people of Eur
ope and Japan are equally blind
when it comes to arming for the
next war which is sure to come If
these war-mad nations continue
this pace. What will succeeding
generations, who must pay these
enormous bills, think of us? fear
they will conclude that their dad
dies and granddaddies had little
but Mayonaise dressing above their
ears and at that they won't be so
far off.
Again, I ask, against whom are
we arming? Again, demand that
we adopt an American foreign pol
icy that will give first concern to
our own interests and free our
selves from the domination of No
10 Downing Street, London. If Eng
land Is not strong enough to long
er hold on to the one-half the
Globe she now holds she will have
to let some OF 1t go. Twenty years
ago we spent nearly 40 billion dol
lars to help her stay on top. Now
she would have us repeat that act
greatly admire the English
people. They have many very ad-
mirable qualities, but / am not
willing to again go to war to pull
their chestnuts out of the fire.
George Washington's admonition to
keep out of foreign entanglements
is Just as applicable today as it was
$50 years ago.
Comes To A Head
The cover has blown of iva. On
Friday last the President had the
three iva directors at the White
House for a seven hour conference
and at the expiration Of that time
he delivered an ultimatum that the
directors were to end their two
year quarrel or resign. The calling
of the conference was shrewd
move on the part of the President
to head off a Congressional invest
igation. It is well known that the
Administration will go to any
length to prevent a Congressiona
investigation of IVA, because it i:
feared that an inquiry into its at
fairs will be to the Roosevelt Ad
ministration what the Teapot
Dome was to Harding. Govern

drawn into war with some Orien-
tai power because we realize that
it is simply a smoke screen put
out to take our minds off domes-
tic problems and the administra-
tons failure to cope with them.
Many years ago Bismarck, who
probably was the greatest states
man of his day, said that the way
to keep peoples minds off their
own troubles was to get them to
talk and think of war. That
remedy has been used to blind and
silence every generation since the
beginning of time. How much
better it is to have our people talk
about and denounce the autocrats
of Europe and Asia than to let
their attention dwell on the ii
million out of work right here at
home; or on the Presidents re-
ciprocal trade policy that Is giving
the American market away to the
coolie laborer of China, and to the
SAINT of Europe, thereby displacing
millions of American worlingmen
who cannot compete with them.
Then, too, once our people be-
came nationalistic minded it Is
just possible that they might ask
the Roosevelt administration for
an accounting of the so billions
that have been spent for this and
that during the past five years.
Yes, war scares have their USES

burn, clever young man who is
a sincere, avowed Communist, calls
himself "a specialist in the low
down." He told me how important
he thinks it is to stick to facts and
so not lose reader confidence. Just
how faithfully the Week has stuck
to facts-and how much it has ex-
aggerated its other stories about
the Chvenden set-I'm in no posi-
ton to say.
It Is true that the Astors have
q country place called Cliveden, and
that they receive there all kinds
Of people, in as friendly a way as
they received me in London. May
be it's Nancy Astor's Southern hos
pitality, maybe it's method, but,
whether you are friend or foe, you
are sure to be invited for a meal.
II there's anything like a salon
left IN England, I should say Nancy
Astor had it. Around her table
there's always lively discussion, and
a free-for-all exchange of view-
points, which in itself suggests that
the Astors' prejudices are not Of
the rock-bound type, even If they
have a considerable stake in the
present social order. Nancy Astor
Is quick and sharp in her views
which are never profound-but she
has her warm and gracious side.

Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlain, much
less worldly people than the Astors,
probably don't 60 oftener than every
two months. Members of the set,
he says, include Montagu Norman
OF the Bank of England and Geof-
frey Dawson, editor of the London
Times, and also, I suppose, Lord
Lothian. Mr.. Cockburn admits that
the out-and-out pro-Nazis, like Lord
Redesdale and his daughter, Unity
Freeman-Mitford, do not frequent
Cliveden.
What the Clivedenites do, accord
ing to Mr.. Cockburn, is to send ex-
perts to Mr.. Chamberlain, who will
advise him in the right way, and
so coordinate his policy with
Cliveden's. 1t is, of course, a fact
that the London Times anticipated
the partition of Czecho- -Slovakia by
several weeks. But it is not un-
usual for powerful paper to work
hand in glove with the government.
The Clivedenites-if there is such
a definite group-undoubtedly have
influence and WELD it, just as any
Of us would who were in a posi-
ton to do so and had definite So
cial and political views. But it is
an oversimplification, I suspect, to
say that Downing Street has moved
to Cliveden.

destructive of the freedom of the
individual as any other kind of
coercion. The proposition was well
stated by William Green, president
of the American Federation of La
Dor, in his testimony before the
Senate Committee, when he said !:
What we want is real industrial
peace founded upon freedom from
restraint or coercion on the part
of either employer or employees,
founded upon the cooperation of
employers and employees, and
guarded and, when necessary, en-
forced by the Government"
The case for vital amendments
to the National Labor Relations
Act, and change in the administra-
tive agency, rests upon the complete
failure of the present program to
bring industrial peace. The board
has stretched the provisions of bad
law to the extreme limit. It has
gone far outside the law and tried
in every conceivable way to so in
terpret its provisions as to most
eueCIudlly I1dIdSS cuplOyeTS anu
promote a particular type of labor
organization. When the opportu-
nifty is offered to present the entire
record of maladministration by this
Government agency, the demand for
change will be irresistible. A series
of amendments will be offered when
Congress convenes. I suggest that
each proposal be examined and
judged by the effect it will have in
promoting the cause of industrial
peace.
Society will not tolerate any poll
cies of industry that are unfair
and oppressive to the workers of
the country. Nor will society much
longer permit disruption Of industry
by factional labor quarrels, or un-
reasonable demands for self-seeking
labor leaders. The country is ready
to follow forward looking leaders of
industry and statesmenlike cham
pions of labor, by whose united ef-
fort the present state of industrial
turmoil will be superseded by q just
and lasting industrial peace.

"We were somewhat surprised, al
belt gratiied," Mr.. LineWeaver con-
tinues, "at bidding and making a
grand slam, since we are very ordi-
nary players AS a matter Of fact,
the grand slam does not seem too
obvious to me, since If North had
held two hearts and only three clubs
to the queen we would have had to
lose trick. I would therefore ap-
preciate a bidding analysis of the
hand"
We are afraid our correspondent
is unduly modest, for we have sell
dom seen a hand better bid by both
partners. Incidentally, the -Four
Aces slam bidding methods were
used throughout this hand. North
first established the suit by his dou-
BILE raise in spades. South's cue bid
of four clubs was slam invitation,
showing first-round control of the
suit. North's five club bid showed
support in that suit, whereupon
South simply returned to five spades,
feeling that he had already shown
the strength of his hand. At this
point North knew that at least a
small slam was certain and hence
made the cue bid of six diamonds
South could now show the ace of
hearts without getting above the
six level, and proceeded to do so.
Now North, without more ado, bid
the grand slam.
While it is true that seven could
not have been made if North had
held another small heart, we feel
certain that if such had been the
case he would have been content
with q small slam.
