SHORTS

The unopened Czechoslovak pavil-
ion at the New York Worlds Fair is
attracting more attention than many
open ones. Small comfort to the
people of the murdered republic.
The increased racket about "radi-
calism" of divers sorts reminds one
of what Louis Post SO appropriately
called ''the head-hunting jamboree"
that followed close on the World War.
Among the many evidences of the
worlds so-called peace is President
Roosevelt's request to Congress to
make Immediately available $185, ,440,-
900 for the new army air corps ex-
pansion program.
Social Security Act, National Labor
Relations Act, Railroad Retirement
Act, United States Housing Act
these are just four of the legislative
medals hanging around the neck of
Senator Robert F. Wagner; and the
National Health Act is coming. The
one match for Wagner is George w.
Norris, the only living Senator who
amended the Constitution.

PRESIDENT ASKS
FOR RELIEF FUNDS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) -Presi-
dent Roosevelt has asked Congress
for $1,750,000,000 for relief purposes
during the fiscal year of 1910, which
begins July l of this year. Of this
sum, S1,477 10000 is for the Works
Progress Administration; the rest for
other relief purposes.
The President said in his message
that he believed we can count on fully
five billion dollars greater total ma
tional income this year than last; add
ing these details:
"ln my message of April Ia, 1898,
| recommended to the Congress a Sc
ries of measures designed to check
the defiationary processes and the
failure Of consumers demand which
were occurring at that time. Since
the adoption by the Congress of the
recovery program outlined in that
message, the index of industrial pro-
ooeCioh Hdo iiiCIcdseu more IMAM one
quarter.
"The second prime factor in this
picture is the increasing output of
the individual worker. At the re-
covery peak in 1887, when industrial
production was at approximately the
1929 level, there were still about g.
100000 unemployed. From this and
subsequent experience, it is apparent
that comparatively high levels of pro-
duction mean substantially less en-
ployment than formerly"
Among the other relief works and
agencies are the National Youth Ad-
ministration and farm relief.

"Then gently scan

BY Mr.. MOdestus-

We're all afraid!
Afraid, if conditions continue as
they are
Some dread to see any change in
existing situations
Because they are afraid of what
the changes may lead to-
Old standards and institutions are
slipping and shifting
New trends appear in all lines of
life and effort
Values do not mean what they once
did
Even materials and their uses do
not remain as before
New tools are wiping out old tools
and old trades
New processes are extinguishing
entire lines of business
Old powers have been eclipsed, and
new powers are ascendant
If we only knew, what the world is
coming to-
Twenty-Five years ago
There were seven major nations
Practicing-in the main-free cap
italism--
Japan, Italy, Germany; Russia,
France, England
And the United States of North
America
The first four, in different ways
Are now operating under decided
notifications of the old system
Only three nations remain under
free capitalism
And of these, France is under die
tatorship, until November next
Not even Hitler knowing what will
become of it after that
Democracy in England has been
scrimped and confined
In danger of being scrapped, if
thereby to save private capital
Only in North America, and few
British possessions
Do the two old principles still main
tain
Private capital, and democracy in
government.
Twenty-Five years ago
Private capital was in the saddle
1t was invulnerable, master of the
world
It's ideologies, it's utopias, controlled
the minds of nations
Today, private capital, whether cash
or credit
Is hunting for cover, all around the
world
Which is why over half of the
worlds gold
Is hidden in an artificial cave in
Kentucky
America seems to be the last and
only refuge

Explaining Our Policies
The cooPERAToR is as different from most other
small town weeklies as Greenbelt is different from
other small towns. Because Of this difference,
editorial practices not always understood,
and find it to explain them at frequent
intervals.
Primary among such explanati ons, the inadequate
coverage Of local Bluntly put. if people
won't report the noteworthy events Of their
circles else will. The few reporters have
busy enough with their present gnments.
less than astounding response to past calls for
volunteers makes it necessary for US to remind
Greenbelt that if people want anything badly enough
they pay for it in effort money.
Then there is the question Of the relative amount
Of space given different activities. Among those
hard-working Greenbelters who are building modern
progressive ons in the they love. it
is to be expected that at times their Of pro-
portion Will become dulled. And so it is that the
feeling sometimes arises that their work, most
important in town. is receiving INSULT
Grafton in the press. This is not bad,
although sometimes annoying the complaint
ing end We ask them only remember that we share
the fa111b1lity Of the species, and that there
one or two other important town activities.
1t may be helpful to explain policy on Letters
to the Editor. We insist that they be signed when
they come to but will publish them anonymously
when the writer's so request. We cannot, of course
publish scurrilous letters, and it must left to
our discretion to find the thin line separate
these from vehement letters. We do reserve the
right to condense. but we do this little
possible.
One two criticisms have been received Of the
fact that we do not rigid1y guard the Of
everything that appears in our columns. To the
guardians Of public morals on these several
occasions sounded the alarm can only say. "Alas
Good People, it is only true: we have offended
