Hoover Says Freedom

Ex-President Coils Hate

BY the Associated Press,

PHILADELPHIA, April 49,
Describing world hate as the out
standing destroyer of mankind,
Herbert Hoover declared last night
that freedom will have left the
world at the end of this war" unless
America now proves "the enduring
values of free men,"
Moreover, the former President
told the Philadelphia Y. M. C.. A.,
there can be no peace until liberty
is restored to the countries invaded
by Germany and Russia.
Mr.. Hoover blamed bitterness
after the first world conflict for
sowing the dragons teeth of the
present war" and predicted that if it
continues long enough "hates will
sit again at the peace table"
after the Great War;" he said,
'it was class and religious hate
which builded revolution and dicta-
torship in Europe. And those hates
have spread to our country. PREF

Kinder, Orchestra
Optimistic, Honored
By Music S Nofab|es
Messages Come In at
Dinner Given by Arts
Washington Patrons

Hans Kinder, whose National
Symphony Orchestra apparently
faces disbandment over wage dis
pute, last night was honored by
hundreds of prominent Washing
tonians-and by musicians over the
Nation-during banquet and re-
ception held for him in the May
flower Hotel.
The tall, ruddy checked conductor
spoke out straightforwardly at the
banquet.
He said that when he came to
Washington nine years ago he had
been warned that he would find the
city a musical marsh" Today, he
declared, the symphony organization
has ended that situation.
AS native of Holland, DR.. Kind
Ter said that he was familiar with
swamps and marshes-and how to
treat them. The Dutch royal palace
Is built on stout piles, he said.
Can Build Better Later.
II began driving oak trees into
washington when I came" the con-
ductor declared. They are still
there. If we wait little while we
can build better upon time"
The affair honoring DR.. Kinder
was arranged by Mr.. and Mrs. WAL
ter Bruce Howe and the Board of
Directors of the National Symphony
Orchestra Association. Many lead
ers of official, diplomatic and artis-
tic Washington were present.
Read at the dinner were kilograms

ter Damrosch. Leopolod Stokowski,
Igor Stravinski, Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge, Heifetz, Carlton Smith,
1imbalist, Kristen Flagstaff, Howard
Hanson, Helen Jepson, Richard
Crooks and great many others.
Mr.. Kinder responded to his ova-
ton with the comment that he would
not have accepted the invitation to
such an affair except for one thing
that he wished to express the depth
of his gratitude to those who MAIN
tanned the orchestra's existence dur
Ing past years.
Tears Well Up in Eyes.
With tears in his eyes plain to the
banqueters, he proposed a toast:
ITO the true principles of real de-
mocracy, and its cultural standard
expressed in the arts and especially
In music"
The conductor gave his audience
indication of any plans for continu-
ance of the orchestra, which gave it's
final concert of the season Sunday
night. The musicians have asked a
wage increase which the orchestra
association has decided cannot be
raised by the musical public.
But to reporters DR.. Kinder de-
clared last night that he was "ab-
solutely confident" of a solution, re-
minding them of French proverb:
"You must step backward slightly
to make jump forward"

THEY'RE AT IT
AGAIN

There are still lot of pennies, nckels
and dimes in the pockets of California
old folks.
There are still lot of old folks who
can be sold on the idea that Utopia Is
not only possible but likely here on earth
in California, for that matter.
Furthermore, the old folks will back
up their belief with the pennies, mckelS
and dimes in their pockets
SO the Ham-and-Egg pension promot-
ers are coming back for more.
Twice defeated. the lads who draw
their salaries from contributions taken
from those who cannot very we'll afford
to contribute have pledged to their fol-
lowers that there will be another Ham
and-Egg proposal on the 1910 ballot.
But this time the promoters aren't
going to rely entirely on the vote Of the
Oldsters. No sir. They figure they've got
to ring in few more self-serving votes
if they're TO continue doing business al
the same old stand.
So they're angling for the votes of
parents whose children are students, and
for the votes of the unemployed.
The Ham-and-Egg pension plan which
may be presented in 1910 is dressed up
in new furnishings, even though beneath
the gliding there remains the same old
aohuiii, Vic ociuS oiu lihPoooioiS SNoiioAiS
theory, the same old appeal to poverty
and despair
The new plan, its promoters promise,
will provide that Ham-and-Egg warrants
will be given not only to everyone so
years of age or older. but also to students
and unemployed persons in certain cat
egories. Also, the ante has been reduced.
There'l be 90 warrants distributed week
~, not 80 of Them.
The changes are SO obviously an at
tempt to rope in additional gullible vot-
ers-and dues payers too. incidentally
that they should fool no one
1t is tragic, but true. that there will
probably be enough signers on the new
Ham-and-Egg petitions to place the
measure ongthe ballot. Another campaign,
costly to tie state, will follow-and an
other defeat for the Ham-Eggers.
Then, unless something is done to curb
the promoters, there will follow another
set of changes, another attempt to force
a vote, another appeal for the pennies
of those who cannot afford to lose their
pennies.
Next time, perhaps, the plan will pro-
vide that everyone in the state is to get
Is warrants week That way, they'll
appeal to all voters.

COMMERCIAL AIRLINES

In the last twelve months of CONNER
cial aviation history. the United States
airline have carried more than two mil
lion passengers a total of S14 million
miles with only one fatality.
The record is astounding in itself, but
to those sincerely interested in the prog
ress of aviation another record is more
important. 1t is the record of progress
since aerial transportation became ma
jor industry in 1882.
Every year since then with the excep-
ton of 1888 has seen an increase over
the previous year in the number of pas
sengers carried, and every year, without
any exception, has increased the num-
Der of passenger miles flown.
The facts make it evident that airplane
travel is growing steadily, healthily, to-
wards the time when it will be the prin-
cipal means of travel.
The airines offer rebuttal against
those who believe progress is dead.

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
Lobbies are Legitimate

groups do not pretend that they are
not interested in their own indus
tries, but there's nothing abnormal
about this.
For instance, in consideration of a
new highway bill, congressional
committees may desire considerable
information concerning road con-
tractors. Without the benefit Of
lobbying associations, it might nc
necessary to poll each contractor in
dividually to obtain a fair picture,
or to DO without the statistics en-
tirely.
In way, it is through the Hobbies
that Congress is partly able to feel
the pulse of public on certain issues.
Because, with exceptions, Hobbies do
make all effort to represent then
groups fairly, and their activities
in Washington or in state capitals
most often reflect the general at
titude of the people.
Pyke johnson, executive vice pres
ident of the Automobile Manufac-
turers' Association, said recently:
ITO believe that . individual in
terests, themselves but small seq
ment Of society as whole. can
hold legislative control through the
operations of an individual who
does not reflect the public opinion
of the moment, is to return to the
days and beliefs of good old King

effectiveness"
Lobbying need not necessarily DC
a sin. Operated legitimately, lob
bies can be important and benefit

THE new HERBERT HOOVER
Newark, N..J.. Star-Lcdger)

There is a moral in (thc case ot) Mr..
Hoover which may be even more lmpor-
tant than any political questions which
confront us. The moral is a mans ability
to suffer much--to face even unfair crit
icism and abuse, and serious mlsunder-
standing, and yet come out Of it without
any bitterness in his heart . without
any hate or even Self-pity
Here IS lust one mild illustration. MI
Hoover read in national publication
that he had never written one Of his own
speeches-yet. he knew he had written
hundreds. His friends urged him to deny
ito speak out against it, in order to
check other malicious gossip. Mr.. Hoover
said. Pm too busy doing today's work.
And in time, he read an apology IN
that same periodical tWhlch) had been

And he lived to hear those who called

Everybody talks about a new Hoover.

WE REMAIN
OUT OF IT
(Wall Street Journal)

UnderSecrctary of State Sumner Wellcs
has maze his private report to President
Roosevelt on his mission of inquiry in
Europe The President has made cor
rect. formal, public comment thereon.
The anxiety which every thoughtful citi
zen of this country must have felt every
day that Mr.. WelleS was abroad is for
tunately relieved.
We know now, even better than we
knew when Mr.. WelleS sailed from New
York, that the United States no more
has part to play in making peace for
Europe than it has a part to play in
making war over there. Recognition of
this controlling fact is implicit in the
Presidents carefully guarded reference
TO the results of the mission. 1t is note
worthy that he speaks of the value which
the information gathered by Mr.. WelleS
will have when the time comes for the
establishment of a Just, stable and last
ing peace in Europe He says not a word
that so much as hints at any kind or de-
gree of intervention on our part.
1t was manifestly impossible for Mr.
Weles' tour of European capitals to alter
the war detectives or the attitude of any
belligerent government by one iota. But
his public demonstration of that impos-
Sibility, skilfully executed without en-
posing his government to the danger of a
humiliating rebuff, may we'll prove to
have done his country an invaluable ser
vice.
Mr. Welles is safely home again and the
United States remains out of it. For
this relief, much thanks
