NO WASTE OF MONEY.
So far the main issue of the Re-
publican speakers has been the
‘‘waste of public funds." Colonel
Knox is very bitter about it, but
right in the midst of the attack on
this so - called waste. President
Roosevelt receives the gratitude of
the nation for his promise to spend
more public money where it will do
the most good to the destitute
farmers of the drouth area. There
is really no waste of public money
when it is spent for materials and
wages—instead of being wasted the
money is being circulated. It would
certainly be a crime and a real
waste if Roosevelt had locked up-
the public funds when they were
needed to save lives.

Kane and Hatfield and the coast

If Hitler, as some think, tries to
lead the coming five-power Locarno
conference into forming an anti-
Soviet alliance, he will be firmly
opposed by France. Foreign Min-
ister Yvon Deltas says so, and de-
clares France will under no circum-
stances abandon her military pact
with Soviet Russia.
According to Pravna, authorita-
tive newspaper of Moscow, Hitler
plans to attack and partition Czecho-

war against the Soviet union.
Benito Mussolini and his cabinet

ASHINGTON. — The sum-
mer’s end sees numerous
stiff necked and pompous
"old dealers" coming back
ffom vacations in Europe, standing
on the dock in Npw York City grant-
ing shallow^ interviews, telling how
European nations have done so
much better than the Roosevelt gov-
ernment of the United States has
done to conquer the depression—
then hustling off to their various
clubs to growl over the assumption
that Roosevelt has departed from
the “American way” and is copying
something over in Europe. Just one
more exposition of the fact that the
old Republican leadership is dod-
dering to a brainless end.
I think Roosevelt’s record shows
quite clearly that he is not only
following the American way, but is
illuminating the American way.
Now and then America produces a
leader who finds the ascending path
in American ways—Jackson, Lin-
coln, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilson—
a quartet whose names have almost
been worn out by historians and
politicians. But they were Ameri-
cans who 1A1 the way and who suf-
fered outrageous public abuse for it
—as Franklin Roosevelt is doing
now—except that if I’m any judge
this Roosevelt doesn’t suffer abuse
—he seems to know how to shed it.
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
WALLACE has approved the
■ew $10,000,000 seed corn loan pro-
gram of the AAA. The government
will advance farmers two types of
loans on seed corn stored on the
farm. Advances oF$1.75 a bushel
will be made to farmers on 1,000,-
090 bushels of selected corn. The
government will have the option of
killing. The British government tells-
’em how much to plant, harvest,
process and ship in half a dozen-
crops. They have put government,
into business in a big way in their
housing ’ program, whereas our
hpusing program is dying on its
feet. Half of Europe is on a govern-
ment power ownership status, and
staid old Great Britain has so much
more socialism in it than we have-
that it is a joke for the old dealers
to come back and tell us Roosevelt
is a dangerous socialist and that we
ought to see how much better Eng-
land handles its problems.
One more statement: Favoritw
argument against Roosevelt’s - re-
covery program is that “recovery
would hatfe come anyhow, without .
all this expense." Had this country
waited for “natural” recovery, so
pnany millions would have starved
that there would have been no point
to recovery at all, because the Unit-
ed States would have been bare as
the moon. Roosevelt fed the hungry,
and now, nearly four years after
the near-panic and bank crashes,
recovery is almost at high tide in
this country. Wouldn’t it have been
criminal’, to have delayed federal
aid?

and provide for schools, waterworks
and highways; libraries, hospitals,
bridges and a score of much needed
municipal improvements. What Col.
Knox calls "waste” provides work

the town.
Republicans are all heated up be-
cause of- the stories going ’round
that Governor Landon is parsimo-
nious with the schools. They say
that if there is anything wrong with
Kansas schools* it is not Landon's
fault, but rather. the fault of state
law.
-Governor Landon’s 1935 message
to the Kansas legislature cut school
costs 40 per cent. As a result the
average pay of 7,000 teachers is less
than ten dollars a week. More than
450 schools have been closed, and in
some districts mothers are re-
placing the teachers. The state of
Kansas is last among 48 states in
the amount of aid given schools. If
the Republican tacticians surround-
ing Landon can cheer these facts,
let them do so.
Governor Landon has spoken
grandiosely of the glories of free
education, but there is mighty little
freedom to education under sweat-
shop wages in the schools. The Re-
publican politicians may find some-
thing to cheer about, but the state of
Kansas is doing no cheering. If Lan-
don is sincere in his interest in edu-
cation, he can call a session of the
state legislature and hand it a pro-
gram that will put the public schools
of Kansas on a decent level.

THE Spanish rebels scored their
greatest victory to date when
they captured .San Sebastian, cap-
ital of Guipuzcoa province and fa-
mous Bay of Biscay resort. Santa
Barabara fort, dominating the city,
was first taken and the city’s war
council then decided to abandon the
place, despite the opposition of the
anarchists. The more conservative
Basque nationals prevented the reds
from burning the city, only a paper
factory find two residences being
destroyed, and the defending forces
retreated toward Bilbao, accompa-
nied by thousands of civilians and
foreigners, insurgent troops, com-
manded by Col. Joac Beorlegui,
marched in and were ceremonious-
ly reviewed, and the bishop of Pam-
plona officiated at a thanksgiving
service.
The municipal governor, Antonio
Ortega, and his staff boarded a
yacht to go to new headquarters at
Zumaya, about 15 miles west of
San Sebastian. The new line of
defense was established at Orio.

President James B. Conant greet-
ed the guests, accepted their cre-
dentials and delivered a simple
address of welcome. He noted that
the assembly was an impressive
demonstration of the solidarity of
the academic world, and saw in the
greetings of the delegates "the con-
tinued aspiration of mankind toward
a universal fellowship based on hu-
man reason."
Responding on behalf of the dele-
gates, Prof. Elie Cartan of the Uni-
versity of Paris paid tribute to Har-
vard’s contributions to education
•nd declared that "no barrier, po-
litical, religious or. social, should be
erected to stop the search for
truth."

SETS ’EM THINKING,
One good thing .may . come out of
all this ballyhoo about Roosevelt
saddling the country with so much -
debt that our children and grand-
children will be overwhelmed by it.
The charge of debt-saddling is be-
ginning to make part of the com-
munity do some independent think-
ing. They find the actual debt situ- .
ation of the American people is less
now than it was in 1929—and that—
was the peak year of the boom when
we bought everything we Wanted
and went Ihto debt for it.
Government debts are not the omy
debts to take notice of. The whble
structure of the debts and assets of
the American people is the impor-
tant thing to study. Joseph Kennedy,
wealthy New Yorker, has written a
pamphlet on the subject showing
that the actual debt burden is less
now than it was seven years ago.
Another deep student of affairs, E.
K. Lindley, of the pro-Landon New
York Herald Tribune, arrives at-a
similar conclusion.
Treasury statements show that
when Roosevelt had permitted the
national debt which he assumed on
inauguration to run up to 33 billion
dollars (round figures) he had also
piled up eight billion, seven hundred
million in assets which were not
there before. Subtract that and you
have about 28 billion dollars debt,
which is under seven billion dollars
more than the national debt at the
time Hoover left office. Of this.ll,-
875,000,000 is the coat of payments
on the bonus enacted by Congress;
so all in all, the net burden piled up
by Roosevelt for the poor dear chil-
dren and grandchildren to suffer
under is about five billion dollars—
which Mr. Lindley points out is
approximately what we borrowed in
five months of the great war—and
'T'O THE sixty-sixth annual con-
* gress of the American Prison
association, held in Chicago, was
presented a report from the com-
mittee on crime prevention in which
it was stated that the tactics of a
certain_<class of lawyers in defend-
ing persons charged with crime
have the effect of encouraging crim-
inals to repeat their offenses. The
committee declared that 75 per cent
of the prisoners now in penal insti-
tutions in this country had been
"literally faced about into a ca-
reer of crime” by their experiences
with defense attorneys.
The coaching - of the attorney
tended to help the defendant find an
alibi for his misdeeds and a sed-
ative for his conscience, accord-
ing to the report, when public wel-
fare should have guided the lawyer
to conduct "which would quicken
the sensibilities of the prisoner1 and
awaken him to his owi. misdeeds.”
T^e committee recommended
more scientific methods in prevent-
ing and combating crime and it esti-
mated that the country’s annual
crime cost is $15,000,000,900—"one-
fourth of the national income; half
of the war debt."

CALL IT COMMUNISM.
England has had a strong labor
movement, and accepts labor prin-
ciples which old dealers, big busi-
ness, and such industries as steel
are fighting today. I think too, that
British bankers have a stronger
sense of social responsibility ; there
seems to be less wildcat financing;
and while these old dealers who
have fought, kicked and scratched
•gainst the New Deal’s demand that
stocks and bonds must be scruti-
nized here by the securities and
exchange commission, England has
been demanding safety for its in-
vestors for years. Our old dealers
who point to England as a model,
charge that Roosevelt’s attack on
flimsy securities is “Communism."

LOT OF NONSENSE.
There is a great deal of nonsense
being spouted about Europe; con-
. Hasting American metbodt 1q„Eu-
ropean methods. The returning old
dealers give ^the impression that
they are imbued with statesman-
ship; but all they really know is that
someone told them England has bal-
anced her budget. However, they
will soon learn that the British bud-
get is entirely out of balance owing
to a gigantic naval building pro-
gram; but they still insist that Eng-
land is doing a lot better than we
are because England did not go off
the gold standard, did not have any
public works and has remained
“sane." As a matter of fact England
went off the gold standard in Sep-
tember of 1931, and has stayed off
without causing heart failure
■ Threadneedle street, the center
British finance.
There is a subtle bit of poison
the returning old'dealers* praise
the British dole system instead
work-relief. It was not many years
ago that these same old dealers
were yelling their heads off in op-
position to even the idea of a dole
which, they said, must nevei come
to these shores. They praised Her-
bert Hoover when he took his stand
against the dole in a policy Which
permitted poor Arkansas farmers
to get government money to feed
their mules but not to feed their
families. Now that we have tried
direct cash payments to the jobless;
have discarded it, and have sub-
stituted work relief for the dole, the
old dealers find the dole to be
cheaper and praise England for it.
Now the strange thing is that if
these old dealers understood exactly
what they were praising they would
be horrified, because the English
new deal, which started a long time
ago, is redistributing wealth by a
drastic income tax and a heavy
inheritance tax. The kicks against
Roosevelt’s mild taxes on big money
are silly in view of what the rest of
the world to doing. It is sillier still
to read statements from old dealers
like Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Henry
Allen, former governor of Kansas
and Hoover's publicity manager,
Col. Frank Knox and others who in
one breath protest that Roosevelt is
deserting the American way and in
the next kick because he isn’t doing
what England did to restore pros-
perity.
