A. Dangerous Situation

NO MORE dangerous situation confronts the country
~ than the way Congress|s playing politics with the
efforts of Price Administrator Leon Henderson 10 fix
general ceiling on all our buying and selling activities in
order TO prevent initiation.
Mr. Henderson is attempting 10 DO honest and
competent Job Congress as a whole is not only doing
an incompetent job but dshonorabe one. 1t is playing
low game of personal p0fr7rs Tire face at the enemy
It's eyes are not fixed on war
They are fixed on the elections next fall
Specifically these eager eyes are fixed on the farmer
vote
THE farmers, it in the eyes of our politically
minded congressman, are class apart when it comes
to ceilings"
While the rest of the country asked freeze prices
AZ of last winter the farmer is asking for ceiling
of pre-lo29 prices.
That is not a ceiling tits only sky-limit.
Price ceilings must be universal to be success.
No one has seen this clearer than Bernard Baruch-~
ON SEPT 10 1911 in his appearance beforethe House
" banking and currency committee he~said, without
bubble or an if:
Il don't believe in piecemeal price-fiXing l think
YOU have put ceiling the whole price structure,
including wages, rents and farm prices.
II don't believe YOU can treat price control sep
arae effort 1t must be intimately tied up and move in
step with all other controls and rent controls,
priores. conservation. communicating, war trade, war
finance and 80 forth.
They are like the fingers on a hand. Without all
working together they cannot DO job satisfactorily
IN a word what Mr. Baruch advocated then-and what
| Leon Henderson is fighting for now--is UNITY.
There must be a UNIFIED FRONT before initiation
if We to head off disaster at home
1t is as important a unified front before the phys
ica enemy.
While Hirohito and Hitler have their eyes fixed
our coasts Congress has its eyes fixed on votes.
Congress seems to think that mending political
fences is more important than periodically fixing price
Ceilings point of view heavy with tragedy for us.

The Music Master?

d EPORTS from Washington indicate that the Federal
N Communications Commission may inquire into the
motives of James Perio who refused recently to per-
nit national broadcasng of concerts by the lnterochen
National Music orchestra.
Let's hope the inquiry will be brisk and thorough.
Because the Interlochen group operates each sum-
Northern Michigan their mourning Mr. Petrlos
displeasure is Of local interest
The extent of his apparent domination of all publicly
presented music should be matter Of national concern
\Y1Ho is this who dares tell the American people
w what music they may listen to?
What sort Of people we to tolerate his hoodlum
arrogance?
Technically Petrilo is head of the American Fedora
tion of Musicians (the musicians union)
But the Interlochen National Music Camp orchestra
has nothing do with unionism IL composed strictly
of amateurs-hgh school youngsters who, because of
their inherent love of music devote their holidays
to furtherng their study Of it the camp Just out of
Traverse City.
THESE juveniles-these amateurY-must receive com.
l~Peteng instruction they would not have been per
mitted 70 broadcast for the past y years.
II speaks III for every ideal hold to If one mans
caprice can deny their music to all the rest of us
Is this fellow Petrllo the music master of nation
Yes or no?

The True Brotherhood

THE late Arthur Brisbane used to say What man

Down through the ages most men have been ignorant
of this phy truth They have dreamed dreams and seen
visions but they have been afraid and have stuck to their
workaday tasks-A few exceptions-Da Ninei Columbus,
Lister Pasteur Watt-folowed their dreams and bene
fitted mankind.
Henry Ford always has been a dreamer for the bet
torment of the His ideal tone of them) is that
organized charity will be unnecessary when the people
come to know how much good they get from the
UNEMPLOYED resources of nature He believes firmly that
individual energy and the soil live sustain the
whole human race.
A MOTHER believer in the naturalization of dreams,
n is the aged great Negro, George Washington Carver
The fact that he has invited the Ford laboratories
continue his research in making good things out of
weeds has social significance beyond the knowledge of
the average person.
Here is one veteran Immensely wealthy imbued
with the faith in God that everything that gfeshas
some virtue.
Here is another veteran Negro and poor mbued
with the faith and with definite achievements behind
him
Is there any question between them of race color
or class?
OF course not.
They are men of imagination and of daring.

They brothers IN the amending war TO make this
world better world in which to live.
SO Doctor Carver comes TO work with Henry Ford.
And while the rest OF the world reves in carnage,
these two odsers plod along trying sereney to aid
stumbling humanity.

Farley Man
Could Settle
Issue in N. Y.
Bennett vs.. Dewey Would
Precipitate Reaction
BY wESTBROOK PEGLER

A NY way you figure II. ii
n would appear that New Deal
ism and the White House influ-
ence over the government of
New York state will be checked
this year if Jim Farley is able
10 nominate his man, John
Bennett. for governor on the
Democratic ticket.
Farley is confident that he
can do this Notwithstanding
President Roosevelt's attempts
10 dictate the nomination Of
Senator James Mead.
OF course, Bennett is not en-
phasiZng the fact, but it is
fact nevertheless, that he is not
a New Dealer and is of much
the same mind of the New Deal
as Farley. who finally got
choked up on the policies and
personalities of the administra-
ton.
Thus, If Farley npminates
Bennett and if Tom Dewey is
the Republican nominee, as he
probably will be. there will be
a reaction against the socialistic
and eemmunistie influences in
the state and. probably, Also. a
reaction against the arrogance
of the bosses OF the labor
unions.
