The role of Italy, in light of events,

food for anxious thought in many capi-

overhead, wages and all charges, is ap
outstanding job Of public administra-
ton. Certainly, never in the history Of
our Government has such a vast sum of
money, running into many billions Of
dollars, been administered with less
major scandal and misappropriation Of
the public's money.
But again we must wait for the per-
spective of time to tell us whether this
administration has sufficiently succeeded,
remembering that such volume of ex-
penditure was meant to be only tempo
rary. just as the other agencies working
on the unemployment problem, such as
the c. C. c.. and the P. w. A., were III
essence only temporary stop gaps.
I have heard from many people, wish
ing to be constructive in their criticism,
strong suggestions that it was time for
the Federal Government to unity and
coordinate into one general policy the
functions of these various agencies. And
even more important was the suggestion
that the Federal Government should
show some interest and initiative in pre-
pairing for the day when the RESPONSE
bility of these human needs should be re
turned to the localities and States by the
Federal Government.
I am inclined to believe that two steps
might be taken which would give the
average citizen greater understanding of
the general problem the Federal Govern
ment has face and greater confidence
in the ultimate desire of the Federal
Government to restore local RESPONSE
bility.
Complete Responsibility.
First, that when the Federal Govern
ment is asked for aid, it will assume COM
plete responsibility for its portion of the
load. The Federal Government will re-
ceive fewer kicks and do better job If
1t takes full control, and will deserve
whatever credit or blame 1t may get.
And let me emphasize that it should pe
full control of only that portion of the
job the State or locality has placed in its
hands.
Second, all Government efforts to al
leviate unemployment should be con-
solidated. IN recent years, all Presidents,
whether Republican or Democratic, have
advocated Federal plan which, in times
Of slack industrial activity, would >in-
crease Government building and spend
Ing and restrict it in times of industrial
prosperity. You have noticed, I hope,
the proposal of Senator James Byrnes
OF South Carolina to effect single pub
lie works department under which all
activities such as P. w. A. and w. p. A,
will be joined.
Finally, from the long-range point Of
view, I believe that the administration
should prepare and support a program
toward which it may work in better days
to come. Specifically. as each State
grows financially stronger, inducement IN
the form of matched funds might be
held out as an incentive for the estab-
lishment by the States of unemployment
reserves. operated along standards ap-
proved by the Federal Government. The
principle Is already well established in
the administration of social security and
public road grants.
Even though there is not single State
which can financially begin such q pro-
gram today, its mere existence will pe
an incentive and intelligent approach
toward an ultimate solution. But, best Of
all, 1t would strengthen belief In stable
and democratic form Of government.

pleasure" because they prove afresh
the invincibility Of the relationships.
Such an Italian view of Germanys latest
triumph decidedly must be taken with a
grain of salt, for the Fuehrer on the
present occasion has treated II Duce
with the contempt which a sovereign
displays toward vassal.

Certainly the general problem of re-
lief, and the w. P. A. in particular. has
received as much discussion and atten-
ton as any other national topic
Too many of us have forgotten the
desperate circumstances in 1882 and
33 which brought about the idea of
relief through work and wages. After
one or two previous experiments, the
w. P. A. was finally formed by the New
load which the States we're financially
unable to bear. 1t was based on the
necessity of maintaining the self-respect
and dignity of the unemployed American
men and women.
Because of the numbers of people it
has aided and the vast amount it has
required to do so, no other agency of
the Government has received more criti-
cal analysis. But, at the same time, no
other agency has allowed such gross
misconception of its methods and prob
lens to grow into almost popular relief.
For instance, in nearly every part Of
the United States in which have trav-
eled, have often found that the Fed
eral Government and w. P. A. are con-
sidered unfair in selecting people for re-
lief pobs. The important fact is that,
with but one or two exceptional in
stances. w. P. A. has on its rolls only
those individuals whom the State and
local organizations, having no connec-
ton with the Federal Government, have
narfif1oG In 1f of
Often Blamed Unjustly.
w. P. A. is thus often blamed for
selections in which it has no voice what
soever. Until a recent resolution of
Congress, it did not even have the power
to investigate the eligibility of those on
its rolls. 1t has long seemed to me
that the administration, in an effort to
maintain the rights of local and State
units, made great mistake in allow
ing such situation to exist.
Similarly, I am sure YOU have often
heard the complaint that there are many
on the w. P. A. rolls making money on
outside jobs. But the truth of the situa-
ton has never really been brought out.
For example, happen to know that
w. P. A. worker, with a wife and eight
children, was receiving approximately
$11.20 for three days work. The union
wage requirements and the available
amount of w. P. A. funds combined to
make this the limit of his employment.
Obviously, the w. P. A. wages were not
sufficient to maintain a true American
standard of living, although they may
have provided for starvation wants. =
This man went out the other three
days OF the week to pick up whatever
odd jobs he could find in his community
and managed to collect another So a
week. Thus, the total income for his
family of 10 still remained under $40 a
week. Nevertheless, his case was re-

have the w. p. A. do? Fire the man and

odd jobs? Or would you encourage him

Duce will now not only demand his
share of territorial spoils. while the
grabbing is good but also expect Hitler's
support in Fascist plans to get the Ba-
learic Islands from Franco and Tunisia
and Djibouti from France seems a
foregone conclusion. Any other course
would indicate that the dictator on the

tually it would lead to decent paying
and permanent job which would justify
his removal from the relief rolls? I, for
one, prefer the latter course.
Less Major Scandal
In brief, I believe you will find, when
sufficient time has passed to give us
real perspective, that the w. P. A., as a
temporary expedient has done the job of
maintaining the morale of vast number
of good American citizens and that, on
the whole, its average expenditure of $61

Russian Ukraine Next.

-, Expectation is universal that the next
major Nazi territorial thrust will be in
the direction of the Russian Ukraine,
though Hitler, according to late reports,
may decide to consolidate Germanys
position in Northeastern Europe by TAX
ing Danzig and Memel before venturing
upon his bigger and ultimate goal, the
opulent grain, timber and mineral prov
ince Of Soviet Russia. Nazis have long
agitated for an independent Ukranian
republic NATURALLY, under German pro
tection,), which would embrace all the
''oppressed" Ukrainians-1, 900 900 in Ru-
mania, 100000 in Poland and 35,OO0OOO
in the Soviet Union. It was the Nurn-
berg National Socialist Party Congress in
1896 at which Hitler proclaimed that
once the natural resources of the Uk-
raine, notably oil and footstuffs, were in
German possession or under German
control, the Reich would be rich beyond
the dreams of avarice.
That the virtual conquest of Czecho-
Slovakia vastly facilitates the realization
Of German longing for Eastern European
territory, power and riches is obvious
from a glance at the map. Nazi armies
are now within days march of the
Ukraine border via the Carpatho-
Ukraine, easternmost tip of the late
Czecho-Slovak state. That area is now

common frontier with Poland. When
Budapest and Warsaw, after Munich,
projected the new frontier just created,
Germany protested and prevented it,
looking upon it for what it was frankly
intended to be-a barrier against further
German progress across Central Europe,
via Rumania, to the Black Sea. Berlin
is reported to have made no objections to
last weeks joining of Hungarian and
Polish territory across Ruthenia (Car-
patho Ukraine). All concerned are con-
sciols that neither Hungary nor Poland
any longer is likely to set up a buffer
against Germany's path to the southeast
when 1t suits Hitler's purpose to pur-
sue 1t.
Moscow's Strength Doubted.
. Moscow thunders the U. S. S. RS in
tention and ability to defend the Ukraine
against a German invasion. But the
best authorities question the Soviet Un-
IONS capacity to resist the Reich. That
view would seem to be justified by the
unexplained inactivity of Stain and Lit

mich. Whether the Red Army is con-

many's eyes, as Hitler predicted in "Mein
Kampf," have indeed turned eastward"
No nation east of the Rhine, not already
under the Nazi yoke, any longer has as
surance that its turn will not be next,

Forecast Years Ago.
The world was bewildered by Hitler's
sudden and cynical destruction of
Czecho-Slovakia. Yet no one who ever
read the book, which is at once the Nazi
bible and the official program of avowed
German aggression, had any reason to
be taken by surprise, for "Mein Kampf"
lifted the veil on Hitlers plans full
10 years before he came to power in
1888. German foreign policy since then
has been strictly simple but been car
Sied out along the lines which the
Fuehrer foreshadowed. He wrote:
No nation on earth holds
square yard of territory by any
right derived from heaven. From
tiers are made and altered only by
human agency. .. Strength alone
constitutes the right to possess.
Therefore, just as our forefathers
did not receive the land in which
we live as present from heaven,
but had to fight with their lives for
it, so in future nothing will grant
us land and life for our nation ex-
cept the power of victorious sword.

Hartford, Conn, July 27.--State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher today announced that the unemployment compensation divi- sion of the state labor department had completed the task of re- computing the benefit rates of all persons in the state receiving job less benefits. The benefit rates of approximately 19,000 persons were re-computed as 6 result Of changes in the law which became effec- tive July 1. An extra waiting pe- riod during which no benefits were paid was in effect while members of the division were engaged in making the change.
 The maximum unemployment compensation which an eligible claimant may receive in any year is now based on a table which lists the total amounts a person may receive in varying degrees from $20 to $l95.
 Under the old law a person re- ceived 13 times the benefit rate or 12M per cent of earnings over the preceding two years. Under the new law which became effec- tive July 1, the l3 times the bene- fit rate phase is retained and for the 1924 times there is substituted Q fiat amount of benefits shown in the tble elsewhere on this page. The total amount to be paid claimant depends upon his base year earnings.
 The new law also provides for a fiat benefit rate based upon average weekly earnings ranging from $5 to $i5. A person to be- come eligible for unemployment compensation must have earned 24 times his benefit rate during the base year period. If. however. he earns that amount in one quarter year he must earn more than the ei.30 minimum because of his higher benefit rate. The maxi. mum amounts shown in the table arc subject to the provision that no individual may receive more than "a times his benefit rate.

Official Text Of
 Abrogation Note

Washington, July 27-(UP)-- Following Is the text of the note which Secretary of State Cordell Hull sent to the Japan csc Ambassador Kensuke Hor- inOuch:
 During recent years the gov- ernment of tn, United States has been examining the treat les of commerce and navlga tion in force between the United States and foreign countries with . view to determining what changes may need to be made toward better serving the purposes for which such treaties are concluded. In the course of this survey, the gov ernment of the United States has come to the conclusion that the treaty of commerce and navigation between the United States and Japan which was signed at Washington on February 21, 1911, contains provisions which need new con- sideration. Toward preparing the way for such consideration and with . view to better safe- guarding and promoting Amer ican interests as new develop ments may require, the govern inent of the United States, acting in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Article XVII of the treaty under refer cnce, gives notice hereby of It's desire that this treaty be ter- minated, and, having thus given notice, will expect the treaty, together with It's accompanying protocol, to expire six months from this date.
 Accept, excellency, the re- newed assurances of my high est consideration.
