Willis Thorntons Editorial On:

The American Civil Liberties Un-
ion became the first liberal organi-
2ation to take definite action against
CummuniStic and FaSciStic influ-
ences when the unions governing
committee and board OF directors
both voted to bar persons belonging
10 ORGANIZATIONS with obvious anti
democratic objcctiVeS or practices.
Many StaliniSt sympathizers will
shortly set up howl. But by its
gesture, the Civil Liberties Union
has won the applause of thousands
oil Americans whose approval is
more important than that of NJ
Reds and FaScistS.
The name of the organization
clearly states its objective. Anyone
subscribing TO tenetS OF the Civil
Liberties Union, and, II the same
time, upholdlng either Stalinism or
Hitlegism. is the clearest kind OF

wondering how long il would be be-
fore the president remembered 1t.
For the simple fact is that the
reduced budget the president toss
ed al Congress this winter spread
something like dismay in the breast :
OF New Dealers.
Privately some of them have been
predicting great deal OF trouble
on the ground that the president
cut too much.
That some New Deal economists
forecast the danger which the pres
dent touched on the other day
is shown BY the tact that in the mid
autumn, 1899. number of them
drew up colossal Though purely
tentative) spend-lend plan for use
in the next depression-and then
figured they ought to have it ready
for presentation this year, on the
around that the economy wave was
goin2 TO stop the industrial boom
which at that moment was going
along nicely.
The CIO has come out with d

cuts as imperilling recovery.
This CIO survey painted a gloomy
picture of the business future, and
declared that the federal budget hac
the chief role among the depresS-
ing factors" Acknowledging that
Congress is cutting beyond the pre-
sident's recommendation the report
asserted that the president really
brought this on by cutting Con2cSS
pet pork items.
All of this, OF course is no GER
tain indication that i recession is
just ahead. The business commu-
nifty has never been very strong
for the idea that stopping govern
ment spending VIII create Il deprei-
sion.
The point is, that it is orthodox
New Deal doctrine-and that the
very circles which hold it the most
devoutly look on the budget the
president himself drew up a5 the
chief cloud now on the horizon.

Sacramento, would give those in charge
an opportunity to fit relief practices to

More important, perhaps-lt would
give the counties q chance to utilize pres
ent organizations. with very little in
crease in administrative expense, to adj
minister relief Thus duplication, which
now exists with both SRA and county
relief organizations functioning, would
be eliminated The saving would be
tremendous.
Relief should be administered by the
counties now as it was several years ago.
Relief did not become political foot
ball until it was placed under the state
administration. The best way TO pre-
vent any more political meddling with
human misery is to return relief to the
counties.
The legislature should act Immediately
to do just that.

10. CHlCAGO'S NAME
CIV hington POST

\ writer in recent issue of Look
magazine says Of the University of Chi
cago football team, There isn't 4 single
hired hand on this eleven. From end
10 end, from quarterback 10 fullback,
the players are unsalaried and unsul-
lied AS a result Of this remarkable
situation, Chicago was beaten $50 last
Year by Michigan and nominated by that
same writer as his choice for the anna
leur. ;lll-America football eleven.
Further justifyng this honor, Chicago
followed up its ingloriOus season by re-
signing from Big Ten football competi-
tion . 1t is entirely reasonable and
praiseworthy for the university to start
laying increased emphasis on intramural
sports.
If the University of Chicago sticks to
it's admirable position, it may, before
long, be leading the field in football
trends
After they have tried to match the
appeal Of honest professionalism, and
failed, the colleges, no longer tempted
by enormous gate receipts may well re-
vert TO an amateur status. In that event
college football, like college baseball,
VIII again become wholesome sport
instead of something perilously near a
racket.

SPEAKING OF AMERICANISM

While national attention is focused so
sharply on various kinds of un-Amerl-
can practices, it might be wise for the
public at large TO consider the most un-
American. uncivilized practice Of them
all-that which was demonstrated IN
Maryland when a craZed mob stormed a
Jail and carried away two Negroes
Luckily the incident ended happily
when state troopers saved the two-a
mother and her child. By the way-from
the mob But not all such attempts end
happily. Too often they end in lynch
ing-the ultimate in breakdown Of law
and order.
America is founded on constitutional
law, and that Foundation rests on an
innate belief that !.umun disputes should
be solved lawfully and without violence,
passion or prejudice Any mob, swayed
by prejudice anC governed by passion,
is incapable Of CAIN elaboration. mob
is at the OPPOSITE e"lreme of the social
scale from the l,.W.
All Americans who are proud Of their
Americanism should steer clear Of any
thing vergnP unOn mob action.
