Lawyers Objects of Barbed
Darts From the President

The American Bar association and
lawyers generally have been SUBJ
jected to barbed darts from Presi-
dent Roosevelt. On one pretext or
another, Mr.. Roosevelt has put tacks
in the seats of lawyers pants ever
since he entered the White House.
Fundamentally, that criticism al
ways has been based in the Presi-
dents belief that lawyers were not
working in the public interest. Here,
then, it seems to me, is fine op-
portunity. Inasmuch as the asso-
cations governing body meets early
in 1910 and inasmuch as 1910 is
year of national elections, why, ]
ask, does not the bar association get
busy? Why not demand of the cam
didates for the house of representa-
tives and the senate a pledge that
they act on some legislation that
will partially restore representa-
tive form of government as distin-
guished from the thousand little die
tators now running our federal ma
chinery?

be done in seeking solution for the
problem, want to suggest rather
simple method. Let congress create
a joint committee of representatives
and senators who would be empow-
cred to pass upon all of these rules
and regulations that are issued in
the countless offices of government.
Not only the 46 independent teach
ers' pets, but all arms Of the fed
eral government having the right to
set up enforcement powers.
It long has been regarded as a
prerogative Of congress to inquire
into the operations of the executive
branch of the government. Con-
gress has been jealous of that pre-
rogative, as it should be. If it would
create such a committee as ! have
suggested, therefore, it would be a
means of preventing the evils of a
million rules about which congress
now has nothing to say and it would
restore to congress, as the elected
representatives of the people, the
authority which it has foolishly given
away. And if there needs to be
face-saving on badly drawn laws,
congress would be able to do that
without having to admit that it is,
or has been, wrong.

Der / has been as coherent as the
gibberish of a Monaghan idiot. Of
ficially the italian government was
sphynx-like, but there was no doubt
about the feelings of a mob of uni
formed Fascists who cheered before
Rome's Finnish legation and hooted
before the Soviet embassy. Though
moving softly, the fine Italian hand
was seen encouraging formation OF
an anti-C Communist bloc in the Bal
kan states, where the Soviet bear
will positively strike next.
Germany was silent, and with
good reason. To denounce the Reds
after Adolf Hitler's great show of
friendship with Moscow would mean
either ~ the reputation of Der
Fuehrer and a subsequent adnis-
sion that the allies are right, or (2)
a simultaneous war on two fronts
against two hostile enemies PRUSSIA
on the east and the allies on the
west). But a good sign of the aver
age Nazi's sentiments was the pro-
Finnish demonstration in Hungary's
parliament.
How about Japan? Britain be-
ieved the recent Jap-Russian truce
had paved the way for Finland's in
vasion, but Shanghai and Tokyo OBJ
servers thought otherwise. Said an
anonymous Jap army major: sit
is a good lesson. It proves what
we have always suspected, that
Russia cannot be trusted"
Japan, Italy and Russia were OBJ
viously the nations to be watched,
but no one could accurately predict
their moves.
The Other War
Thousands of older French sol
diers were released from the west
ern front as the allies settled on
their new strategy: Fighting Ger
many with seapower and economics
instead of land offensives. There
was no great show of seapower, al
though the disastrous allied shipping
losses from Germany's magnetic
mines had apparently been stopped.
British aviators bombed Heligoland,
the Reich's North sea naval base,
claiming they had scored direct hits
on several warships. But the big
gest news was the new allied block
ade on all German exports, designed
to strangle the Reich's sources of
foreign exchange. In the middle Of
this strange warfare the Vatican
dropped an even stranger-though
promising-note. Pope Plus XII
suggested the warning nations de-
clare Christmas truce.
american Reaction
Thoroughly startled when Russia
ignored his plea that civilian bomb
ings be avoided in the Soviet-Fin-
nish invasion, President Roosevelt
issued an unprecedented statement:
despite efforts made to solve the
dispute by peaceful methods /. :.
one power has chosen to resort to
arms"
This silenced spiteful critics who
hoped to capitalize by pointing out
how the President had erred in rec
ognizing Russia back in 1888. But
it didn't silence New York's Com
munist Daily Yorker, whose 'front.'
page editorial accused the U. S. Of
provoking war against Russia "by
using Finland as pawn"
Next the President asked manu-
facturers and exporters of planes to
remember "the unprovoked bombing

Training fliers.
Why College Menu
Give Others a Break.

Excerpt from a New York Times
dispatch:
In a report on the eecret session.
Chairman Sheppard said that the
army had disclosed a new plan 10
train $500 men through colleges
and universities for immediate use
in the services. Under the plan.
q 800 cadets would be divided into
ten classes and sent TO ten colleges
TO receive six weeks intensive
training topped off with a course
at Randolph Field.
Why is the emphasis being
placed on college training In this
wild rush to produce more pilots ,
Granted colleges may produce
better academic training. Granted
they may produce graduates who
know how TO parse In Latin, get
their syntax correct and brush
their hair properly. Granted they
produce even some gentlemen.
But ! would much rather follow
a squadron leader who was an ex-
perienced man. knew his stuff. but
was not necessarily a college gem
