Contest Insurance Policies
Defended at Monopoly Quiz

BY the Associated Press
The head of one of the Nations
largest life insurance companies
contended before the Federal Mo-
nopoly Committee yesterday that al
though sales campaigns and special
contests for agents brought his
company some undesirable busi-
ness, advantages of such sales
methods outWeighed disadvantages.
Replying to questions about his
company's agency and selling prac-
tice. Thomas I. Parkinson, president
Of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, said that ION the whole the
advantages to the company are
greater than the disadvantages"
Mr.. Parkinson conceded. however,
that campaign selling" had con-
tributed to relatively high lapse
rate on the part of his company.
He told the committee that "hu-
man beings are human beings" and
that despite efforts to prevent it,
some agents obtained business, de-
spite knowledge it would lapse with
in short time, in order to make a
better showing during sales cam
paign. However. this situation is
improving, he added.

Don Quixote'
Wins Duel
With Intruder

A modern Don Quixote fought a
windmill in the yard of 1919 Rhode
Island avenue NV. last night but
he won the encounter.
Sidney W. Davis was the valiant
warrior, and the windmill was a
colored man who had been surprised
few minutes before as he entered
the mansion, which has been con-
verted into rooming house.
When Mrs. Jennie w. Davis, pro-
prietor of the establishment. went to
the pantry shortly after 9 o'clock to
make sure everything was in order
for the night, she was greeted by
the sight of the intruder sitting on a
window sill.
He said Boo! probably expect
ing that l would become scared and
give him time to get away" Mrs
Davis related, but I said, Get out
Of here, you good nothing So
and-so! and went to call my SON."
Mr.. Davis grabbed an ancient
sword that was part of a suit of
armor standing in the hall. He did
not don the armor. but dashed into
the yard and confronted the would
be thief. The latter seized garbage
receptacle and swung it wildly, but
Mr.. Davis subdued the colored man
in such thorough fashion that he
required h>oital treatment when
police arrived, Mrs. Davis said.
The forces of right did not
emerge unscathed. however. Mr..
Davis was nursing broken thumb
today.

Like q Bad Penny

Like a bad penny, the Townsend
plan has turned up again. In one
form or another, but always recog-
nizable, the chimerical proposal for
making bigger and better America
by giving every person over sixty a
monthly pension of 5000 has been a
buoyant force in the Nations politics
for the past six years. Apparently
fully sunk on more than one occa-
sion, it has bobbed to the surface
persistently.
Perhaps on no occasion was this
bobbing marked by greater enthusi-
asm than in the 1888 congressional
campaign when a host of candidates
EMBODIED the ToWnsendites to their
bosoms and rode into office on
pledges to bring prosperity to the
old folks. Ironically enough a sub
stantial number of those displaying
this generous impulse were included
among the Republican candidates
and were simultaneously standing on
platform of opposition to New Deal
reforms and extravaganza.
Now it is not an unusual thing in
American politics that candidates
should endorse various whimsical
propositions. Usually the very ma
ture of such proposals precludes suf-
ficient support for them ever to come
to showdown, or leaves their adher-
entS in minority so small that their
defections and their failures become
unimportant.
But the House leadership is stage
managing a show for next Wednes-
day which should set some records
either in irresponsible legislating or
in wholesale abandonment of a CAM
paign pledge. Under a rule which
not only limits debates but which
prohibits any revision of the bill as
reported, the membership must make
its choice. The fact that the pro-
posed pensions have been reduced
from the 5000 original proposal will
provide Scant refuge for those who
choose to reverse their campaign po-
Sition, and scantier grounds for cast
ing vote in favor of the measure.
If the administration leadership is
successful in this strategy to cut
down this political bogey, and at the
same time embarrass numerous
minority PLEDGES, it should then
hasten approval of the generally de-
sirable notifications to the social
security system already reported
favorably.

America Must Buy

Harry Hopkins speech on foreign
trade stressing the need for increas-
ing our imports represents a broad
ening of the philosophy of interna-
tional economic amity which enspirits
the Hull reciprocal trade policy. 1t
might be considered a sort of world
commercial platform for the Demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Hopkins announced
it in New York six months after he
became Secretary of Commerce-six
months devoted, it is now apparent,
to study of foreign trade and it's
effect, in its varying volume, on
Americas and the worlds economy.
The talk made it clear that the ad-
miniStration understands that
creditor nation cannot long sell more
than it buys without harming both
the buyers and itself. 1t served as
further ingratiation of the United
States with Latin America, from
where, Mr.. Hopkins says, we are to
seek great part of the proposed
expansion in our import trade And
it chastised anonymously Mr.. Hop
kins' cabinet colleague, Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace, who has advo-
Gated export subsidies and trade by
what has all the aspects of a barter
system. The lesson for us to draw
from the experience of countries
which have resorted to subsidies and
barter, Mr. Hopkins observed, "is that
even in such countries, producers and
traders prefer the method which our
more normal position leaves us free
to follow, and have done So"
Both consistent international poll
tics and economic wisdom suggested,
indeed almost dictated, Mr.. Hopkins
choice of Latin America as the chief
source of our new imports. His nice
words about our neighborS in the
hemisphere are calculated to mag
nifty the general New World support
for the continental solidarity pro-
gram. And they take notice of the
critical state of our 1888 trade with
the Americas. Last year South
American business accounted for 49
per cent of the advance in our general
export trade over 1887. At the same
time imports here from South Amer
lea were IS per cent less than in 1887
Our favorable balance" of exports
over imports in worldwide commerce
was more than $1,OOO,00O,O0O last
year.
Unless we buy from other coun-
tries, their purchasing power for
American products cannot be indefi-
nitely sustained and probably will
shrink again" Mr.. Hopkins said. Un-
doubtedly it is idle to suppose that a
nation can increase it's imports be-
cause it's Secretary of Commerce de-
| sireS the increase. But such q policy

Whereas there is manifest the great
need to build conscious barriers against
conditions destructive of democracy,
and to renew and reaflrm our faith in
American democracy: Therefore be it
Resolved, That in every public school

ideals of democracy, tolerance and free

be devoted to making the children Of

Pluneturium PIun

Hope has been revived for a plane
tarium in Washington. A volunteer
committee, headed by Capt. J. F.
Hellweg, superintendent of the Naval
Observatory, has been organized to
solicit subscriptions for the latest
model Zeiss protector. The money
will be turned over to the govern
ment, which, it is expected, will
provide the building Meanwhile,
in advance of any fund-raising
activity, the committee has staged
an educational campaign, beginning
with an essay contest for children.
The subject assigned is: "The
Need of the City of Washington for
Planetarium" Probably some
youngster might win the principal
prize by calling attention to the fact
that the Nations Capital ought not
to be denied equipment which New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los
Angeles already possess and use with
great efficiency. In an age of chaos,
it should be part of the training of
every child to experience for himself
the demonstration of the cosmic law
which operates throughout the
universe. The movement of the stars
in space as represented by the pro-
lection machine upon dome
resembling the sky is something
more than a picture. 1t is labora-
