I Fort Worth has been fortunate in
having high-type citizens who were
willing to serve on such boards. Many

lavender and tie up with baby ribbon
those intimacies which often are put
on paper, perhaps hastily and without
thought as to how they would sound
in print, by which businessmen try to
quiry.
A former attorney general of the
United States once wrote some succinct
advice to an individual who was about
to be summoned to an inquiry.
“Don’t lose your nerve," he said,
“and don’t lose your temper. Answer
only such questions as are pertinent to
the legal and legitimate inquiry, and,
of course; volunteer no information.
If you have anything to tell, tell the
truth, and that only in response to
legal inquiry. Claim every privilege,
hold your chin up and fear no one or
anything."
A wise witness will resist the
temptation to expand his answers when
he finds himself in the role of the
accused, but without the benefit of a
formal accusation which at least de-
fines his status and gives him the pro-
tection that is ordinarily accorded de-
fendants. And even a defendant under
formal charge in a court will be cau-
tioned by his counsel not to engage in
repartee or swing out into space with
the explanatory remarks any observa-
tions which seem to him to be clever
but may give the prosecutor ideas.
The congressional type of inquiry
is capable of errors or overzeal and
political ambition or partisanship, and
unless the hearings are conducted with
scrupulous fairness an inquiry intend-
ed to ascertain facts may be an in-
quisition bent on discovering and pub-
lishing heresy.
LETTERS
Editor, The Press:
TF THERE is one thing on which
1 the United States likes to
pride itself, it is our magnificent
system of hard roads.
It is perfectly proper that we
should do so. There is- no ques-
tion that the United States has
more and better roads than any
other country in the world.---------
But it is one thing to congrat-
ulate oneself on’ past achieve-
ments. and another to turn smug,
relax, and fall behind. And that

attention and some vision, Congress
may yet move in on this, one of the
most pressing of the domestic troubles
of a nation suffering in the 10th year
of hard times.
Why Go Home
While This Hangs On?
THE report persists in Washington
1 that exactly nothing will be done
about the capital-labor problem by this
Congress. "Barring a possible rebel-
lion in both the Senate and House
ranks," says a typical dispatch, ad-
1 journment will record a blank as .to
i the Wagner Labor Act, the National
* Labor Relations Board, mediation and.
those other factors so vital to industrial
peace, continuity and recovery.
We ask once more—what is Con-
gress for? What greater case of neg-
lect of duty than for the lawmakers 1
to walk out on this problem? And
again we call attention to the fact
that. Congress is hired by the year,

The problem is not insoluble. Ex-
perience in this country with the rail-

commercial penetration, at the expense
of our own actual or potential trade,
it is disquieting.
Three points might be worth pon-
dering in this connection:

Labor Statisties, 43,000 were idle

incalculable number in addition are

When, for instance, an auto plant

dependent on the industry at the top.

foul insult to masculinity for a pros-
pective husband to be offered gifts of
money or any other property along
with his bride. F This, so Mr. Durant
believes, is the chief reason for the
decline of middle class marriage.
How stupid it would be for us to
deny the charge! Thousands, even
millions, of young people cannot get
married nowadays because the boys are
not able to earn enough to keep up
homes. The verve, romance, ‘the very
heart of hope is squeezed out of them
by the black weight of economic fear.
And I suspect the same fear is re-
sponsible for the reluctance with which
