were important, but incidental, and if

A story telling of proposed amend-
ments to the wage-hour act, and on
the sharp contrast which appears as
’ between the administration of that and
of the Wagner Labor Act.

controversial of laws—for a sufficient
time to get a comprehensive size-up,

Deal attitude indicates a preference for
i the Russian kind of dictatorship is a
| question for individual opinion. My
belief is that the Administration, from
the President down through the de-
partments, slightly prefers Stalinism
| or believes that its aggression here is
harmless and easily controllable.
The Nazis have never obtained a
foothold anywhere in the government,
and if an actual Nazi agent, even
though a native American, were dis-
covered in the service he would quickly
be kicked out. The fact that he was
an American native convert to this
anti-American movement would not
protect- him, and this should be re-
membered as an offset to the Com-
munists' contention that some of the
leading American Stalinists are na-
tives and descendants of natives. If a
native American disqualifies himself on
becoming an agent of Adolf Hitler an-
other one has no more right to work
for Stalinism. .
(OMMUNISTS, however, and their
V fellow-travelers, are tolerated by
the New Deal, either as forthright
Communists or as fellow-travelers in
the guise of radicals and progressives.
Open admiration of the Soviet system
and justification of the oppression, sup-
pression and slaughter in Russia cause
Lno embarrassment to individuals if they—
just withhold themselves from official
membership in the conspiracy.
In fact, even official members are
wage-hours job. No statute in our.
time ever involved more angry opposi- not formally excluded, althowh the
tion. Yet Andrews, possessed of the
great - gift, of common sense, has
achieved in his quiet way that public
confidence which makes for acceptance
and for success.
Realizing that no law is perfect at
the outset, inviting criticism and sug-
gestion, but all the time standing firm
on his very clear conception of the
purposes of the wage-hour law, he has,
by the manner of his administration,
• diminished the resistance and brought
about from nearly all concerned in the
vast and unprecedented undertaking a
sympathetic co-operation.
The amendments he now proposes
through the House Labor Committee
are designed to make the law work
better, to simplify it, and to hold it to
its original objectives —- ceiling for
hours and a floor for wages for those
in the lower income groups, the sweat-
ed labor which for so long had been
exploited by the chiselers of industry.
Administered by one of less poise
and patience this perhaps most humane
of all New Deal reforms would have
blown up. As is, its execution is one
of the finest tributes to what can be
done when the “manning” is on
straight. 4
New Deal was elected on the Demo-
cratic ticket and platform. On straight
political considerations the New Deal
owes no more consideration to Stalin-
ists. than to Republicans, who are
the course that events followed in
Italy,' Hungary, Germany and Spain.
In those countries Bolshevism came
first and Fascism or Nazism was the
retaliation.
CIO, if this country followed the usual
D course, Bolshevism-would bring on
Fascism with native American refine-
ments, and the sure way to obviate
Fascism would be to keep out Soviet-
ism. Certainly there is no excuse for
a Democratic government to encour-
age it, and the New Deal does tolerate
if it does not actually welcome, Com-
munists, and resents exposure of their
presence and activities. And the Ad- |
ministration which manfully belabors
Hitler, for' his atrocities, carefully |
forbears to condemn atrocities in Rus-
sia. which are equally bad or worse.
Americans who resent the Com-
munist conspiracy against this coun-
try’s existence get tired of being
abused for their patriotic apprehension.
The government owes it to the country
to answer the question and treat Com-
munists just as it would treat Nazis.
The prevailing attitude in Washing-
ton is that anyone who denounces
Communists is a red-baiter prosecut-
ing noble, bleeding-heart liberals. I will
allow that because of the Administra- |
tion’s refusal to distinguish between
Bolsheviks and liberals and throw the
bolos out, mistakes are made some.

too, and any honest, patriotic Ameri-
cans who resents the Soviet conspiracy
is automatically classified as a Fascist
at heart. What is the idea of gentling

But 24 hours later President Roosevelt
announced the plan.
On the matter of revising corporate
taxes. Senator Barkley said several
weeks ago that nothing would be done—-
about that. But quickly word was pass-
ed out from the White House that work
on tax revision was continuing as in-
deed it was. and still is. in the Treasury
Department and the Senate finance and
the House ways and means committees.
So we should say that, long before
Mr. Barkley can depart from the capitol
to his home in the bluegrass, the prob-
abilities are that both the tax revision
bill and the Wagner act amendments
will be considered and acted upon in the
Senate.
We think this because both public
opinion and economic necessity demand *
these to promote recovery and provide
more jobs for the unemployed and more
revenue for the government. And when
the time comes, Leader Barkley doubt-
less will do as he has always done. He
will follow along.
Spring Decorating

TTITH the coming of spring, every
VV woman’s fancy turns to thoughts
Editor, The Press:
AFTER READING Mr. Martin's
| letter in The Press, I am seeking
space to express my opinion.
First I want to know how many
people Mr. Martin has even seen,
i who never did anything in their
lives? We don't have many peo-
ple like that.
Our Government demands that
a man work for his living, but we
have reached the time when there
is little work. Now we must see

The AAA has forced the tenant

of emotions, and none is stronger than
the ever resurgent desire- to make
lovelier gardens and more comfort- |
able houses.
Sometimes it looks as if we gave a
little too much thought to purely deco- 1
rative schemes and too little attention
to acquiring those possessions without

DROBABLY there is no use crying
I over spilt milk. But it is not
out of place to regret that we didn't
have this same sort of manning in the
National Labor Relations Board. The
loss because we didn’t, to the labor
and the industry of the country, has
been appalling.
Instead of common sense and pa-
tience we saw zealotry in the saddle,
evangelists out to indulge their pre-
dilections, contending that any criti-
cisms were assaults to kill and that
any proposals of change were sacrilege.
Trouble, trouble, trouble followed:
More and more grit in the bearings.
And now the NLRB is faced with
hearings “on the Hill:” hearings which
may endanger the very life of the law
which was placed in their keeping
the Wagner act—whose purpose was
just as vital to the welfare of the
workers of this nation as was the
wage-hour law,
If we only had had an Andrews in
charge of that one!
Barkley's 'Program'
CIENATOR BARKLEY of Kentucky,
D who holds the title of Senate ma-
jority leader, has outlined a program
— for the remainder of the Congress ses-
sion. As is to be expected from the
source, it is an expansive program —
ranging all the way from national de-
fense to cotton export appropriations.
Notably absent from his list, of 10
" measures to be enacted, are the two
* which probably could do most good to
stimulate business recovery—simplifica-
tion of corporate taxes and perfection of
the National Labor Relations Act.
But businessmen need .not be dis-
heartened. They can comfort them-
selves with the reflection that at no
time in the past has Leader Barkley
. ever known what the program was. And
there is no reason to believe he is any
better informed now. Only a few days
ago, “Dear Alben” stood on the floor
of the Senate and ridiculed suggestions
that the Administration was contem-
plating a cotton export subsidy plan.

A feel that all hope is lost,, that hell
ain’t a half mile off, that clouds have
no silver linings, that life, after all, is
only a vale of tears, and that what’s-
the-use is the motto, witness the Re-
publican Party. Witness, and remem-
ber that only a few months ago it was

ing about 1940.

51 per cent Republican, 49 Democrat.
In view of the fact that the Gallup
outfit has been calling the turn with
surprising accuracy on all public
events tackled, including the tremend-
ous Roosevelt victory of 1936, and the
congressional back-swing of 1938, we
think it safe to say that here is reas-
surance for all who feel weary and
heavy laden or who are suffering from
the whips and scorns of time, who
think the world is out of joint, or are
wont for any reason to curse their fate.
If the Republican Party can stage
a revival, it's a case of courage for
even the weakest, of turn, boys, turn,
of onward the light brigade, of hope
springing eternal in the human breast.
Not that we necessarily think it’s

Texans in the Record
REP. MARVIN JONES of Amarillo:
Behind the tariff wall everyone rec-
the grass a lot longer than he
did. Since this is true, perhaps we
do need the WPA. It enables men
and their families to live from the
age of 40 until 65, when they can
draw a pension. Some of our old
people have given to this country,
some of its finest men and wom-
en, the producers of its wealth.
They have given to the country
its soldiers in case of- war. Many
of them reared families so large
that it took every dime they could
make to feed, clothe, and half way
educate them. If war comes they
are good enough for < annon fod-
der, therefore, should be too
good to go hungry. Give these
old people a pension, and their
sons will feel more like lighting
for their country, and their par-
ents will feel more like sending
them to war. Because a govern-
ment which gives its younger peo-
ple an opportunity to earn a liv-
ing, and its old people a pension
to live on, is a government worth
lighting for.
Mr. Martin, by the way you de-
scribed that farm which you
passed at midnight, and saw "the
new fences all around the prem-
ises, the big gates painted red,
the fine livestock, the barns
bursting with feed, ponds of wa-
terin the green pastures, fat cat-
tle and sheep on the hillside, etc.”
did you wonder how this man
came into ownership of this
wealth? He might have inherited
from his father or mother. His
parents might be living, and “in
the poorest of circumstances.
Some parents are poor but proud,
even • if they do have well-to-do
children.
Mr. Martin, you seem to wear
rose-colored glasses when you are
looking at anything that repre-
sents a dollar, but when you are
looking at a WPA worker, or any
poor person, you wear glasses that
are smoked. Take both pairs of
glasses and throw them away, and
get a clear, sane view of every-
thing.
Mr. Martin, some of your letters
are good, and I enjoy them, but
this one was too flowery, and the
printer's ink: 'Anytime some Ap-

By HUGH S. JOHNSON
rpHE city election in Chicago
1 Tuesday may be of more than
local significance. The present
mayor. Edward J. Kelly, a Demo-
crat. is running against a Repub-
lican candidate, Dwight H. Green.
It could be a
sort of a mid-shs
term "barome-for

That was a personal triumph and
tribute to the mayor. This regu-
lar election may be different Mr.
Kelly is a New Dealer, at least
to the extent of keeping close
enough to the Washington foun-
tain of all blessings to be sure
that, when the gravy is passed
around, Chicago gets her full
share just like Fiorello La
Guardia in New York. But the
New Deal is not so popular in
the country as it ones was—and
Chicago is no exception. No ex-
perienced observer doubts that the
Republicans have gained greatly
and, but for a single circum-
stance, this election would be of
vital importance as a yardstick
of present New Deal popularity.

mud-slinging against him has be-

It is so vicious and so hot that
it may obscure the significant po-

ing In both crime statistics and
traffic accidents places the town
near the head of the list. The
new subway, which is peculiarly
Kelly’s baby, will relieve a traffic
problem that has always been one
of Chicago's chief drawbacks. The
cost of running the city is rela-
tively low. The excellence of ad-
ministration in the country’s two
largest towns has a strong influ-
ence in improving city adminis-
tration all over the country.
In such circumstances, it is s
shame that this election is not to
turn on less personal considera-

bitter his followers to strike back
and emotions rather than political
issues are likely to decide the re-
sult. An election in so large a
population as Chicago's on
straight political issues between
Republicans and Democrats would
give a pretty good line on the
trend in the country since the
congressional elections last year.

THE HOUSE ACROSS THE

The house across the street from

Looks so plain and bare
The windows are all broken out
And it has a spooky air.
The grass has grown so thick and
tall.
The screens are tattered and
torn.
The steps are almost fallen down,
And the old house is so worn.
It seems a shame to let a house
