Changing Opinions

Not in many years has there been such a convincing show of unanlmlty III the Legislature as that displayed Tuesday afternoon when the House voted on the dual iob-holding bill. By an overwhelm- ing margin the bill was swept through the House as originally planned and minus the many attempts to both ham string it and expand it. As it stands now legislators can't expect appolnt- ments in certain branches of the gov ernment. An effort was made to make the list of ineligibles greater, the obvious purpose being to include Special Assist ant Prosecutors Hugh M. Acorn, Jr., ana Harold E. Mitchell within it's provisions
 The state at large feels that this bill IS a reform that we have needed for some time. Oddly enough this reform has had great Republican support, it even oelng one of Governor Raymond F. BaldWlnS campaign promises. Originally the dual and triple iob-holding system was orig mated by Republicans They gave two and three jobs to the one legislator for no good reason other than that he was on the ground floor when the jobs were being passed out and knew just what he wanted. It wasn't that there was any lack of good candidates in the ranks of the Republican or Democratic party. It was just keeping the jobs under control.
 With the advent of Wilbur L. Cross as the Democratic standardbearer it be- came apparent to all that two could play at this game. Democrats started to secure positions by virtue of their legis- lative standing And Republicans imme- diately saw the error of their ways To- day we are fortunate enough in being partially committed to a policy that hoped that the State Senate will not try to hamper the existing bill in such man. ner as to emasculate it to tie 1t up in conference. Dual job-holding should be drowned upon, even if it is necessary to pass law to prevent the appointments.

Revamping WPA

Something obviously is going to hap pen to WPA soon, and probably some thing drastic. It has served useful purpose and accomplished much valuable work, in spite of the legitimite criticism, but it was improvised for an emergency that was not expected to last very long.
 Now it is recognized that certain public purposes served by this organization are not accidental or temporary, that the problems it was made to solve may be with us long time So it is said that the WPA in its present form will be discon- tinued, but it's essential functions will be carried on by new and better organiza- ton, with different name.
 What it will amount to, we are told, is a "permanent work-reserve corps" in which it is expected that men and women will be trained for trades frankly and effi- ciently. It will have an effective em- ployment service. There should be noth- ing casual or makeshift about such an institution, and there need be no shame in being connected with it.

Harry Can Write One

At 79, full of years and recollections, Harry Daugherty says he is going to write one more book. The attorney general of the Harding administration, now spending his declining years oscil- lating between Florida and Columbus, Ohio, has confided to Michael Desmond, Columbus Citizen reporter, that he IS going to make public lot of sacred put important secrets" in the book on which he is now working
 A completely candid book on the liar ding administration by an insider like Daugherty would be illuminating to those who lived through It, and rich source for the historian. Exactly how remains to be seen. Harding is gone, and Coolidge, and Tom Walsh and Jess Smith and nearly all of the others. Harding's papers have never been published, and probably never will be. There is rumor that they were all destroyed by the mortality of documents concerned Mrs. Harding before her death In fact, the mortality of documents concerned with the "normalcy period" of American history has been pretty high. Thus Mr. Daugherty can undoubtedly throw ylniuue light on it if he chooses.
 Tn the meantime, Daugherty publicly reminisced to Desmond for the first time in many years of his retirement. Asked to comment on the plan to change the Supreme Court, Daugherty replied: "The Supreme Court Is being made over again. Well. made it over myself. Neither Mr. Harding nor MT. Coolidge ever refused to send in the name of the man recom- mended.o Sanford, Sutherland, Taft, and Butler were specified.

Pacific Stepping Stones

"We do not covet one foot of the soil of any other nation," says the report of the House committee, approving a pro gram for spending $53 3,800,000 on naval air bases in the Pacific Ocean, including Guam. "The purpose of this program is to insure that no covetous nation shall secure foot of ours"
 Here is plain talk, and from the Con- gressional point of view it should reas- sure the Japanese, who have been complaining about our plans to fortify such places and improve their harbor facilities. The United States has had its fling at imperialism" which was a catching disease around the turn of the century, and is now fully "appeased." :" Japan, coming late into the game of en- pire-building, seems to regard all the world as her oyster. She resents unnec- essarily such moderate conveniences and safeguards as Congress is providing for at Guam and other spots, on our route to the Philippines, China, Australia and India

Overseas Buyers of Scrap New York Sum

Except among workers in metals, scrap iron and steel, aptly named though it is, rarely comes to mind when questions arise over tho fia- tons important resources. A San Francisco engineer who served with the War Industries Board twenty years ago has just Issued c warning to the country to stop exports of scrap iron, now going in large qiiaii- titles to Europe and the Orient. He deplores the sale Co warning coun- tries of Q large part of twenty years accumulation of scrap. He fears that If our stocks continue to reduce, the country will Do compelled in on emergency to depend almost en- tirely on newly mined iron.
 The most recent report on ship- fnents of scrap iron overseas reveals Q reduction of exports last year compared with 1897. The actual de- cline was about million tons, or 24 per cent less than the 1887 ex- ports of 4,002,0 900 tons. But this dc. cline does not seem marked in view of the fact that tho average United States exports of scrap iron and steel fin the five years 1026-1030 was 366, ,f78 tons 6 year. We exported al. most that much fin December.
 The decline in 1888 exports cofn- pared with 1037, moreover, was caused mainly by smaller shipments to the two largest foreign buyers,

Toy Trade Shifts

Santa Claus seems to be down on dic- tators Business statisticians find that Japan lost 60 per cent of its Christmas trade in this last holiday season, and Germany lost 20 per cent, as compared with 1887. The net result was that the American people spent only $1,700,000 abroad for toys last Christmas, against $3,422,000 the year before. Some of this drop was due to worse times, but most of it doubtless came from the growing disfavor in this country for the Asiatic and European dictatorships.
 Meanwhile we sold abroad twice as many toys as we bought. The chief cus- toners were Canada, Great Britain, South Africa, Cuba and Australia, in the order named It is natural to have a particularly friendly feeling for these Christmas customers. It means that they and their children like the same kinds of toys we do.

Selected Poem
ISLAND NIGHT

(Frederick Ebright in the Christian Science
 Monitor) Landfall at sundown: an arras of blue mountains: Now we are anchored here beneath the Southern
 Cross
 Tn velvet tropic dark with a spice wind blowing Across the harbor waters peaceful lap and toss. Somewhere up in the hills light Is burning, Remote and mysterious as a distant starr drum beats, and nearer at this waterfront Someone is singing to a softly picked guitar. What the light is, VIC shall not be knowing, For 1t will vanish long before the dawn; Nor what the drum means, nor who is singing; No, for tomorrow morning we shall be gone. But at some time and in another latitude When the bitter gale Is keen and strong We shall remember night of stars and smell Of
 spices, An anonymous singer and an unknown song

Views of The Press

Japan last year bought s7 per cent less than it bought fin 1037. But lts receipts of American scrap iron iri December were 23 per cent higher than in November, which may in. dlcate c resumption of heavy pur- chases. Total exports Co tho United Kingdom Of scrap iron from this country last year were b3 per cent smaller than In i057, yot the United Kingdom bought last year as much as we exported to oil foreign mark. cts in 1030.
 The sharp rise in shipments of scrap to certain markets last year is more interesting than are the re- duced shipments to other markets. Italy took 437,02b tons of our scrap iron and steel, 6 rise of fl per cent from 1887 purchases; the Nether- lands took 20G,670 tons, ' rise of A per cent; Germany took nearly 231 900 tons, c rise Of 160 per cent from It's 1037 purchases.

Brazil In combating Nazisn, the State and Treasury Depart ments have talked Co Aranha about petty exchange details and the defaulted coupons which Americans are no longer able Co clip from Brazilian bonds. They also want American business firms Co sell more goods Co Brazil.
 But when it comes Co granting Brazil instalment plan credits to pay for those goods, on tho same generous terms Germany offers them, it has been another mat. ter. Henry Morgonthau. when approached on this, looked ns if someone had hit him with C base. ball bat. Apparently his part in the French airplano deal has scared him half out of his wits.
 Every subject discussed with Aranha hos been approached from the viewpoint of how it would afs feet the Democrats in 1e40, not how !t would uphold tho Monroe Doctrine during tho next decade
 Meanwhile Germany, having no bankers debts Co collect in South America, and willing Co sell below cost for political req. sons, k extending f0-year credit on her goods.
 Meanwhile also, Roosevelt, after talking gorgeous Brazilian geners alitles, sailed away Co watch the Navy ward off an imaginary inc vasion of South America, whiis q very real economic and pUli- tical invasion is taking place al- most under his nose.

A Lively Flower Frost Bitten

Wbateyer you may feel about the pace of Helen Hulls novels of contemporary life, you must put hef down as extraordinary TOT her port raits Of the family. Somehow sie manages to catch the thousand little tones and byplays that gre the meat of everyday domestic fife. with the result that her chaf' aeterg emerge supremely liyable,
 Such is the case, for instance, ID her latest novel, "Ffost Flower" acoward.McCann; e250). Miss Hull covers only four days lh the liie oi an American family in thB pook, yet she encompasses the whole sweep of modern-day living, includ' ing tho perennial sin Of woman.
 fine leading character Of "Ffost FleWer," for instance, is a pretty yolifg matr0n, Phyllis Ceilings. But ylyaelous, ebuilient Phyllis fflaffies fl staid, rigorous Edwin. When Phyllis loses her first baby, they quarrel and separate. n the interim Phyllis meets Andy Fulton. But the sin Phyllis commits with Andy turns ojit oddly enough to Dc the real bulWark of her life with Ed- win when they afe reunited. For she realizes in her experience with Andy that her love for Edwin ls the only genuine thing after all. Tie affair with Andy, incidentally had taken place 20 years earlier. But C vindietiye wife dfags it all out again after Andy's death when siie discovers c letter written to Phyllis. Thus is endangered tic stability Of her marriage after 20 years with Edwin. What Phyllis does, of course, to shield her hus- band, her children, to make peace with herself, is Miss Huii's story, Very likely you will find it ofle Of the most human novels Of tiie cuFs rent erop@p. c.
