ROOSEVELTS SUCCESSES
Clos Angeles Times)


No White House family in history has
ever made as much money while the head
of it occupied the Presidency as the
Roosevelts
Mrs. Roosevelt has made more in less
time than any other woman on record.
She has earned. or at least received ST.
100000, or will nave by the time Term
II is ended from books, magazine articles,
daily newspaper articles, lectures and ra-
dio broadcasts.
James Roosevelt eldest son, was doing
very we'll for himself in the insurance
business until he got too much publicity.
According to his own statements (other
estimates are higher) he got S155,95O
from this source between 1884 and 1887,
inclusive. Part of this time he drew S10,-
600 a year as his fathers secretary. Later
he got S50,0O0-a-year job with Samuel
Goldwyn. Though virtually without mill
tary experience ne holds captaincy in
the United States marines which exempts
him from the draft.
Son Elliott, who has Just joined the
Air Reserve Corps as captain being
jumped over the heads of numerous re-
serve officers who have spent years work
ing themselves up to first lieutenancies,
operated radio chain at $4,000 year
for some years. Elliott has had no mill
tary training.
Son-in-law John Boettiger leaped from
relative obscurity as newspaper report
er to full job as publisher, with a fancy
salary. soon after he married the Presi-
dents daughter Anna.
Employees of the federal government
have received suggestions from their
superiors that donations of from 81 to
SIS each, according to salary, would be
acceptable as aids to clearing up the in
debtedness on the Presidents library at
Hyde Park. Hoover also assembled
great library-but he housed and paid
for it himself
In speech on Morals of Good Gov
ernment," made at Albany, Oct. 80 1929,
President Roosevelt, then Governor of
New York, denounced as dishonest "the
public official who allows member of
his family to obtain fees or benefits
through his political influence" The
text of this address is contained in the
collection of Governor Roosevelt's public
papers published by the state of New
York in 1890 But it is missing from the
five-volume 1898 collection of Roosevelt's
public papers and addresses, though 9TH
ers of the same period but less important
are included Why was it left out?

WERE NOT READY

You hear a lot more beligerent talk
these days than you did few months
ago.
You hear a lot less about how unpre-
pared the United States is to go to war
against anybody.
That's dangerous state to get into, be-
cause if enough people decide they want
to fight, then we'll fight Well fight in
spite of the fact that we're not ready
and because of the fact that people for
get too soon how unprepared they are.
The trouble is that too many people
have assumed blithely that, just because
congress has voted money to prepare a
national defense, the preparedness is a
fact They forget that the mere act of
making an appropriation does not manu-
facture one gun nor build one battleship.
They 1cNget that we haven't got any more
to fight with today than we had a month
ago
Our national administration waited so
long to begin preparing for defense that
it will be 1915 before we are anywhere
near ready to fight. We should not for
get that. It might be matter of life
and death.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-If Sen
ator Wheeler gets the senate to
okay his bill for an investigation
of German control of U. S. defense
industries look out for fireworks.
The defense commission is in
clined to oppose the probe, fearing
what the excitement might do to
the defense production program
and certain administration liaison
men have been quietly lobbying
against it.
Stoutly favoring the investigation
is the antitrust division of the
Department of Justice-Where, in
fact, the whole idea was really born
Nearly year ago Thurman Ar
mold notified the War Department
that he had good reason to suspect
that German interests had made
agreements with U. S. producers
which had the effect of throttlino
the U. S. capacity to produce GER
tain essential war materials. Later
the famous BausCh-Lomb case
showed how a maker of secret U.
S. defense equipment was under
obligation to reveal such secrets
to a German concern.
DUMMY CORPORATIONS
DISGUISE OWNERSHIP
Points which especially worry
those who have been close to the
situation are these:
The suspicion that whole or part
ownership of certain American cor-
porations is actually supplying Ger
many with the money that pays for
espionage work in this country
Ownership is carefully disguised
usually via banks or dummy corpo-
rations in Switzerland.
The fear that various patent and
trade control agreements between
u. S. and German producers give
Germany accurate, day-to-day in
formation about the kind and ex-
tent of war material the government
is buying.
The belief that under production

youngsters who were in German
elementary schools only seven short
years ago are now III the Hltief-
ian army or in civilian life-stal-
wart supporters of the Nazl cause.
The minds of the little fellows
who trudge off to their class
rooms every day are completely
in the hands of the forces admlnls-
tering education. Every other edu-
cational power in the world cannot
compete with the teacher cspecial-

depends, that the schools are

Some sacrifices may have to be
made. But it should also be re-
membered that the teaching Of de-
mocracy is as important as demcc-
racy itself. without the influence
of American schools, it would be
muCn more difficult to combat the
teachings of alien ideologies.

THE CAVALRY

Imperial Valley will come closer to the
work of preparedness within the next few
weeks, which the 11th U. S. cavalry regi-
ment of 400 men takes up its station
here for an indefinite stay
1t is hard to forget that this valley has
had nothing but casual visits by army and
navy airplanes, and a few short-lasting
training visits from army units, since the
last World War. 1t is hard to forget that
then, too, we came closer to the armed
forces of the country, with an air corps
unit stationed near Ell Centre.
The Mexican border is important to
maintenance of continental security in
the United States. In peace time, Impe-
rial Valleys stretch of border is patrol
led only by customs and immigration
agents of the federal government.
Can it be that the cavalry regiment was
sent here for another reason than that
publicly announced-to make room at
Monterey for conscrips? We rather in
cline to the belief that our position on the
border had something to do with it.

LIMITS ON A
WORKERS SKILL
wall Street JournaD

Colonel Fleming, administrator of the
wages-and-hourS division of the Depart
ment of Labor, has issued supplementary
rules to govern the industrial training
programs OF private corporations. The
conditions that participation must be
wholly voluntary on the part of employees
and that the training courses must be
given outside of regular working hours
appear to be based upon solid grounds.
But the rules which prohibit production
in training and ban instruction designed
to increase the skill of the trainee in work
he is already performing seem to need
more justification than has been offered
for them.
If a trainee. during hours outside the
regular working day, produces goods or
services of value, the question of an over
time wage rate conceivably arises Is there
no better way to solve that problem than
flatly to prohibit such production at
time when maximum output is badly
needed, both for defense and for the sake
of everyday living standards? Is there a
better school for skill than the practical
one of commercial production under ex-
pert supervision?

Education -. a Defense Industry

American schools are not hidin,

The schools have already recog-
nize'd two fundamental ways in
which they can bolster up national
defense. The first and immediate is
to provide the special training re-

in defense work, 10th ir' industry
and the military. The other is to

WAR IN EUROPE, PEACE

Thousands of persons gathered in the
open country to welcome a tricke of
water Thousands cheering the realiza-

carefree laughter free expression of
opinion.
That is the All American canal celebra-
tion.
Thousands of persons hudded in air
raid shelters, wincing at the sound of dive
bombers overhead. Thousands shuddering
at scenes of death and destruction. Whis-

That is the lot of European commune
ties today.
What if war came to America? Not
war in which Americans would fight
on foreign soil, but war in which they

There would be no more such gather

carefree laughter among crowds in ex-

danger of death from the skies would
automatically outlaw large congregations
of any but military groups in any given
place.

reason to be thankful today that our
people live in a free nation, safe for the

fare. In that thankfulness, we find rea-

strong that nobody will dare bring war to
our borders
