Men in uniform

2acn IN UNIFORM.
These are the men of tomorrow. This is the modern
spirit of the time"
At least so says Hans Schwartz, who is head of the
Uniformed Group Of the German National Talors' Guild
as 1t met at Weimar. by an odd coincidence, Weimar is the
city In which the constitution of the German Republic was
framed. Yes, there was q German Republic, once)
Nearly q third of all German men now are in uniform"
exuhed Schwartz. The German style has shaken off false
conceptions and Incorporated the modern spirit of the time"
If the triumphant Schwartz is correct, and for his part
OF the world he certainly is, then so much the worse for the
time.
Who can consider the wearing of uniform dress a matter
o. progress! II is a mere step backward toward snt-civiliza-
ton. toward the robotization of human beings.
The tyranny of uniformity of dress is too great as it is.
Women. all rushing to get Princess Eugene hats at the same
time, men insisting on wearing hot coats in summer because
IL is the thing" these uniformities are things we are
gradually trying to fight clear of.
. The best that can be said for uniforms is that they are
democratic. Regardless Of his circumstances, each man
wears the same thing. yet even DR.. Goering has been
known to vary the dead monotony Of uniforms with nifty
little innovations of his own.)
But isn't life, in BrummeIs name. dull enough? Is there
not enough routine. what with the daily job, the daily grind,
the daily routine. that it must be still further deadened and
leyeled by always the same clothes?
In certain cases. like the military services, il seems
necessary that uniforms be worn. But to place gradually. by
creeping slow degrees, q whole population in the straight
jacket of uniform dress, is certainly to stretch a blanket
oyer an existence that has little enough color and variety to
start with.
The annual Easter parade has always seemed a little
ftOthy. But all of a sudden it becomes important. Let's go
right out and buy a yellow suit, green gloves. a purple tie,
and a maroon hat with a peacock feather in it!
: 1t may look silly, but it's something, isn't it, to be still
able to wear what you darn please?

WHEN Is 1T PERSECUTION
AND WHEN ISN'T ITO

Editor, The Times: Not very
long ago the papers ere carry
ing big headlines about the way
the Germans were prosecuting
the Jews and we all thought II
was terrible that such a thing
could happen in a civilized world
such as we have in this day and
age and they asked for and re-
ceived our heartfelt sympathy
and they vert certainly deserv-
ing of it.
Now we have the papers full
of pictures of Chinese children
pacing back and forth in the
cold and rain picketing a ship
to prevent the loading of scrap
iron and a group of longshore-
men refusing to go through their
picket line which goes to show
that they don't like persecution
in any country and that goes
for the rest of the people in
these United States.
Now the question Is Where
is this scrap iron coming from
and who is selling it TO the jap
anese, to prosecute the Chinese
with il?
If my observations and deduc-
tions. are correct most of the
scrap iron is being furnished by
the Jews.
is it just another case of which
foot the shoe is on?

A Book Dav

Unionism has brought itself
sharply to public attention in
recent years. So much so that
unions in some quarters have
been viewed as direct results OF
~depressions. But unionism. as a
matter of fact. is nearly as old
as the American democracy it,
self.
Herbert Harris points this out
in an exhaustive discussion Of
unions. American Labor yale
University Press: $3.50. You
will find it a thoroughly dispas-
sionate book, eminently valuable
as a guide TO ar understanding
of the labor picture in this coun-
try.
Curiously enough, Mr.. Harris
relates, the shoemakefs first put
unionism or its feet in the Unit
ed States. They organized in
Philadelphia in 1894. They
struck to prevent wage reduc-
tons and hired one of their
members as a picket to c
that all unionists left their work.
After nine weeks of negotiations,
the shoemakers won.
And with that victory began
unionism's long battle. So labor,
says Mr. Harris, resorted to or
g~aniZation long before techno-
logical problems arose. Actually
the real American labor move
ment began in 1927, also in Phil
adelphia, when Is trade societies
banded together to counterfeit
the dumping of cheap foreign
goods on the domestic market.
A hundred years later AmeTi-
"a labor assumes a more af-
firmative role. While it is still
interested in wages and hours,
it is o interested in Great
ing work. Mr.. Harris sees it
moving toward a definite fellow
feeling for farmers and the mid
dle-class groups. thus cling1ng
to the broad democracy which
inspired it.
All in all. an illuminating
story and significant sidelight
on American history itself.-P.

Only one out of six crimes ommitted in this country is
cleared up by an arrest.
!. Sanford Bates, one of the b~est-known penologists in the
country, formerly director of federal prisons, and now en-
gagged in boys club work, is authority for the statement
which appears in the 1888 yearbook of the National Proba-
ton association.
Not more severe punshments, but more certain arrest,
and prompter and fairer trials, are the answer to the crime
question, Bates believes, and few progressively-m minded
people will disagree.
= There is considerable doubt that excessively severe
penalties keep anyone from committing a crime. Why?
Because the man about to commit a crime doesn't figure the
severity of the punishment. He figures that he's going to
get away with it.
No man is more worth listening to than Bates when he
adds these recommendations in crime control: /. Fight de-
linquency through non-poitical probation; 2. More atten-
tion by prisons to training inmates for later life outside;
8. Make parole, better administered, the sequence to all
prison terms; 4. Get better. smarter parole workers, intent
on long-range benefits, not punishment; 5. Higher standards
fer prisons. and recognition of crime as a social problem.
