Asks q Fair Chance
For College Graduates.

rOT COLckc OTauudscSs
To the Editor of The Star:
1T is time to change the subject from
the rape of Czechoslovakia to more
pressing affairs. The most trying prob
lem concerning the United States during
the past eight years has been that of
unemployment But few of those who
are in position to remedy this situation
know how to act.
There Is special classification of these
unemployed which receives less attention
than any other group. This group con-
sists of thousands of college graduates.
They are at particular disadvantage
because a college education, as rule, is
a cultural undertaking. Most employers
are too narrow minded to see the advan-
tage of employing young men and women
who have learned to think and who can,
after a study of the pertinent problems,
resolve the difficulties confronting Amer
lean business. No wonder that foreign
business men think of American execu-
tives as uncouth and unreined
1t is imperative that American busi-
ness men, who are responsible for the
economic plight which the United States
now suffers, alter their antiquated SyS-
tenn of employment.
Every one KNOWS CIlaC Clle worker III
the United States, supplemented by
| American machinery, is the most efficient
and productive of workers. Yet the
United States is suffering depression
far worse than that in any other country.
Thus the fault must be with the manage
ment since it is not with the worker.
President Hutchins of Chicago University
and many other leading educators favor
system of liberal education as a foun-
dation for better economic and political
world. This seems to be the only alter
native. Then why not give the college
graduate a chance?

Is Far From Ashamed
OF Being Conservative.


To the Editor of The Star:
HAVING read with interest the views
Of several persons published In The
Star on the subject Of conservative"
and liberal" may I suggest that the
following illustrations be given consid-
Grafton:
/. If "a" had ten thousand or more
dollars to deposit, would he not, likely,
servatively managed financial institu-
ton?
2. If "B' had need for the services of
him regarding an important undertaking,
quiry concerning conservative prac-
titioner?
3. If &C" had a large sum of money to
invest, would he not, likely, make
searching inquiry concerning corpora
tions whose affairs are conservatively
managed?
4. If 3D. had need for the services of
a surgeon to attend his wife or his child,
would he not, likely, make inquiry con-
cerning one whose reputation was that
of conservative practitioner?
1t occurs to me that in each case "a
conservative" would be preferred over
"a liberal"
Moreover, would any one care to risk
the life or limb of his wife or his child
by permitting them to ride on train, a
ship, in an airplane, on bus, or an auto
mobile were 1t known that "the driver"
was not conservative person?
Take it from me, the great ma ajority of
people who have had to work and who
have saved even few dollars, are con-
servative." On the other hand, the
great majority of those who have never
had to work and the great majority of
those who are placed in positions where
they are 'at liberty" to freely spend the
money of other people-money paid by
taxpayers especally-are "liberal"-in
most cases beyond all reason.
1t is evident that some speakers and
some writer's are under the impression
that all persons who believe in giving
careful, deliberate consideration to the
future effect of proposed legislation are
conservatives" and should be punished
politically or otherwise.
"A conservative" as defined by Web
ster, is "one opposed to hasty changes in
the political, religious or civil institutions
Of the country"
Conservatives of this day and time
may be defined as those opposed to the
enactment of laws hastily recommended
and urged by men and women who are
without much, if any, practical expert
ence in finance, taxation, commerce or
economically theorists of one kind or
another who usually have nothing to
lose.
"A liberal" as defined by Webster, is
zone opposed to conservatism"
prefer not to be classed "a liberal"

criticize the statistics OF that Congress-
man on the District relief needs?' To
illustrate, Mr.. Lewis knows that as of
today, IL ,204 people who had never been
certified for w. P. A. have been certified
as in need Of relief since December Is,
1887! That particular Congressman to
whom I refer maintained that all people
in need Of relief are being adequately
taken care of, and it is since he made
that statement that most of these II ,204
people have been found to be in need of
relief. 1t is true that the Board of Public
Welfares statistics also were inaccurate.
They said that only 5000 employable peo-
pie needed relief and were not getting it,
but the worthy Congressman and some
Of his District Building friends implied
that everybody who needed relief was
already receiving it.
Lest the public fall victim to illusions
that relief needs are being adequately
met, I feel it desirable to share the sta
tistics which I have received from the
Federal ofIice of the w. P. A. yesterday.
In addition to the II ,204 persons who for
the first time have been certified as in
need Of relief and eligible for w. P. A.
Job in the District. total of 1880 per-
sons previously certified have been recer-
tilted as in need of relief. OF this total
3,776 persons have never yet been as
signed to w. P. A. job even though they
have been certified as in need, and $50
persons are awaiting reassignments to
w. P. A. jobs. Nor is that all. A total
OF 1888 persons have been rejected
though otherwise qualified for certifica-
ton to w. P. A. because they were "occu-
pationally unsuited" for the type of prof.
ects available in the District. The sig
nificance of these figures can be better
grasped by recalling the fact that in
drawing up the budget estimates for the
current fiscal year for relief purposes,
some people criticized the Board of Pub
lie Welfare for "overstating" the case be-
cause appropriations were requested to
take care Of 5000 employable persons.

Sees World Committed
To Rope-Walking Policy.


THE diplomatic Vaccinations of the
Western democracies at Munich on
Thursday indicate that Chamberlain and
Daladier are content to commit their re-
spective governments, indeed the whole
world, to continuance OF the rope
walking policy.
Millions who heard the calm, wise, de-
termined voice of Downing Street on
Tuesday must have exclaimed at the
conclusion of the Munich conference,
THE voice was Jacobs, but the hands
were Esaus."
The Western democracies are still
vexed with the same problems that faced
Lord Runciman at the beginning Of his
mission in Czechoslovakia. II a policy
Of conciliation is to be the basis for fu-
ture settlements of international differ
ences between these two conceptions of
the state. democracy cannot survive. The
notion that time and the fallacies of
totalitarianism will eventually favor de-
mocracy is sheer nonsense; step by step,
capitulation will surrender the last right
of free peoples.
With moral and physical force over
whelmingly in his favor, Mr.. Chamber
lain exchanged his birthright for peace
that will prove as synthetic and futile as
it will prove brief.
Il have plucked a flower" said Mr..
Chamberlain, quoting the Bard" on the
success of the Munich conference. In
deed! Richard ILL., in the fifth act, bet
ter foretold the unhappy event:
Conscience is but word that towards
use.
Devised at first to keep the strong in
awe:
March on, join bravely, let us t pell-
nell;
II not to heaven, then hand and hand
to hell"
Let us hope that the Munich confer
ence has not placed the world beyond
the pale Of redemption. w. e. HAYES.

Hasty Law-Makins.

Officials OF the National Labor Rela-
tions Board and of the new Wage and
Hour Division of the Department of
Labor are perplexed over little proviso
in the Wage and Hour Act that appears
to have large implications. The trouble
some clause provides that the Labor
Board must certify as bona fide" any
labor agreement cited as basis for ex-
emption of an employer from overtime
payments to workers under the act.
This well-intentioned provision was
written into the act during final stages

in Berlin regarding Italy's cam

was evident in government sources
that it should come on the eve of
the signing of the new German
French anti-war accord.
Two important factors stood out
from the German viewpoint:
l. Ambassador Joachim Won Rib
bentrop, who arrives in Paris to-
morrow, is expected to advise
France that Italy has not yet OFF,
cially informed the Reich as to the
object of the Fascist campaign or
asked for the support of Germany
Therefore, the ambassador probably
will not be able to make any dec
laration whatever on the subject

tude toward the present controver-
sy, it was recalled that Adolf Hitler
