Felshcim, Lilyan Kratifz Keep Politics Out of Economics foremost importance to the people of the Northwest at the present time is the recip rocal trade treaty between Canada and the United States. It is being condemned or upheld by almost every paper which is published. But the discussion which is being carried on is based primarily upon politics rather than upon the economic problem. Over emphasis on the political aspects of this problem cloud the thinking of the people concern ing the principle issue: Is this treaty for the economic betterment or the economic detriment of the United States? This problem is not basic ally political although politics, it is to be ad mitted, enter into all the domestic and foreign affairs. Making a political issue of a situation has resulted in the past in disregard for the primary j problem itself. Thus by making the League of i Nations controversy a political question instead of judging it upon its own merits, after the World War, resulted in a continuation of this problem during the past seventeen years as a political problem. It has never been judged solely upon its intrinsic value. Are the citizens of the Northwest going to face the present problem as a political issue or will they take an unbiased view of it, not as a Republican or Democrat, but judge it on itst eco nomic worth ? Not until then will an adequate solution be reached.

When the reporter called upon me for an interview, I talked to the reporter about the interesting labor and economic issues involved in the hearings. I suggested that if anything were to be published concerning the hearings, I hoped that the story would be based upon the issues involved and not the personalities. The reporter asked me if I thought both sides were satisfied T»ith my award and I replied that ap parently they were because representatives of both sides stated that they would seek my ser vices again if, in the future, they ever became involved in another controversy. That is quite a different thing from the statement in the paper that I had been selected as permanent chairman of an arbitration board. I shall appreciate very much if you will pub lish this letter as my correction of the story. With best wishes, Sincerely yours, Wayne L. Morse. * * sis TO the editor: Recently you published editorials against the proposed constitutional amendment as placed on the ballot by the petition of 100 stu dents. As I recall the amendment was for the providance of an executive position on the execu tive council for the independent student. As to the desirability of the amendment, I believe that the Emerald was correct in taking the stand that it did. However T disagree violently with - the expressed wish of the paper in wishing to clean up politics. Students on the campus like politics--they like to work their heads off for a particular can didate, they like the rally parades, the bonfires, and the ballyhoo attendng an election. And as to the alleged “dirt” in politics I believe that there was little if any in the last election. Houses do not vote for what they will get out of it as much as for what they believe to be the best candidate. And in my personal experience I have found that people in the houses vote the way that they want to without “being told what to do by the upperclassmen.” Ami even if the underclassmen were told what to do it would be a good thing because most of them do not think for themselves. They are not acute, nor analytical about the candidates and they must be told. And I believe that the present system of election is the best that ecu be provided and that the Emerald should not try and change a condition that is OK the way it now is. Sincerely, W. L. Laidler Lauds (Continued from Page One) graph lines. A half-dozen other like instances were cited. Capitalism must be credited with having raised the productivity of labor to a new high, Dr. Laidler said, but it has failed to abolish artificial scarcity, it has not as sured plenty to its workers, and it has not eliminated inequality of wealth anti incomes. A mere one tenth of one-percent of American families are guaranteed an income of $75,000 annually, he declared, while 42 percent of the families get $1500 per year or less. The total incomes of the two groups are about the same. “It is absurd to tolerate a bank rupt economic system, with in creasing insecurity and general misery," Dr. Laidler declared. "The economic and natural resources of our country were meant to belong to the people as a whole, and were not put here for the mighty few. Let us socialize our industry and realize the dormant potential ities within us." Corruption under socialism? It vcill be a negligible feature, the noted economist declared. Corrup tion, he said, is an outgrowth of huge accumulations of wealth seeking special privilege. There is much more graft and corruption in business than in politics, Dr. Laid ler added, citing examples of ln : ull-like business tactics which, he said, fleeced the public of millions of dollars. “To stop corruption we must do away with the economic system which offers something for noth ing," the Doctor said. “We must strip of respectability the bene factors of this system which teaches people to try to get some thing for nothing.” “Just as our forefathers were challenged to advance production, so we are challenged to develop scientific planning which will bring an equitable distribution of wealth,” he said. “If we fail in this America will drift into chaos. “Students are more interested tauu ever before, they art. uiobd izing, but the time is short. Organ izing is a pressing necessity in this country if we are to bring about a better society, and prevent a re lapse into some type of fascism.” Yearbook (Continued from Page One) Several houses reported unoffi cially to Circulation Manager Dick Hill yesterday that they were nearing the 100 per cent quota, but Hill said that officially no house had yet reached the top.

These and too many other ob jects of beauty are what writers practice their descriptive powers an when they are word tinting their profile sketches of Washing ton. The Ollier Side The other side of the capitol face is this. One half of the pop ulation, around 500,000, are ne groes, fled there to escape the nuch publicized tyranny and pov- j arty of the South. Two blocks southeast of the Capitol itself, the Senate and House Office Buildings, the new Supreme Court edifice, end the Library of Congress most if these people and their have nothing companions of other races i mil creeds live.

Washington the beautiful, Wash- | ngton the magnificent, has in this! irea as fine a collection of hovels, ■hippies, ehiselers, racketeers, hop loads, and queers as will be found n any city of like size in the fountry.

When you stit them up, they all run in a differ ent direction making it impossible to pin a single one of them down Snakes Alive We read about a chappie who has been the keeper of the snake room in the Philadelphia zoo for the last 38 years. With a job like that it should be a cinch to be a teeto taler. Seriously, though, this man whc should after 38 years, be an au thority in his field explodes the popular theory that rattlesnake bites are necessarily fatal. Ac cording to him, if you are in gooc health and have a good heart you have an even chance of surviving a rattlesnake bite without medical aid. Furthermore, he claims that il the venom is not injected into a vein and if it comes from a norma' size three or four foot rattier, a normally robust person will recov | er from the bite with nothing more ' to show for it than a splendid at ! tack of retching nausea. That’s nice to know. Guess there must be as many different ways of writing as there are of doing anything else. Lord Tennyson turned out his best stuff while sitting in bed sipping gin and water. (Now, there was a man with brains. He climbed into bed before he even started to drink. Foresight plus!) Carlyle needed noise-proof iso lation to write effectively, where as A.

Air Y’ * ❖ Listenin’ By James Morrison Emerald of the Air The Emerald Sportcast, rapidly fining ground as a weekly Emer ,ld of the Air feature, goes on the tir again this afternoon at 3:45. ’om McCall, assisted by his Duck ing reporter, Willie Frager, will onduct the program. The Air Angle Alois Havrilla, veteran eastern mnouncer who has been called all iorts of names, including “A Large jorilla,” has been awarded the 1933 radio diction medal of the \merican Academy of Arts and setters, given annually to the -adio announcer whose diction has seen outstanding during the pre :eding year. The Mills brothers insist on dinging to their cheap, mail-order juitar despite offers of many man .ifacturers to present them with nuch finer instruments. Their orig nal guitar, costing $6.25, has been their only mascot, and they refuse to throw it in the creek. Mr. Benjamin Anzelvitz, alias Ben Bernie (it’s the ol’ maestro’s real name), was necessarily di vorced from Mrs. Rose Nnzelvitz in Chicago recently, so he could marry his present wifey, little Dorothy Wesley, a swimmer who was down at Miami beach with her mother. Here's what Larry Wolters, radio editor of the Chicago Tribune has to say about Jack Hylton’s music. It is brief and to the point. “The English excel in novelty songs. Such gay, catchy tunes as ‘When Turpin Rode to York’ and ‘Tick Tock’ are a distinct relief from the ‘goo and sirup’ of many American ditties. “Britishers fail when they at tempt to play ‘hot’ American jazz music. This they ought to leave to Glen Gray’s Casa Loma orchestra, Paul Whiteman, or if you must have ‘hi-de-ho’ to Cab Calloway.” (Please turn to page three) LieutenantCommanderFrankHawks, U.S.N.R., famous holder of 214 speed records and the Harmon Trophy, says: "I’ve been flying for 19 years and smoking Camels almost as long. i Making speed records tests the pilot as well as his plane. Camels never make me jumpy or bother my physi cal 'condition’ in any way. As the athletes say, Camels are so mild i they don’t get the wind. And I’ve found they never upset my nerves. Camel must use choicer tobaccos.” "Speaking of cigarettes, I make it a rule to smoke Camels,” says Mrs. T. Vi'. Kenyon, sportswoman pilot. "They are the mildest cigarette! Morning, noon, and night, I can smoke Camels steadily. They never upset my nerves. And each Camel renews the zest and enjoyment of the last one.” "I appreciate the mellow flavor of Camels,” says Sir Charles Kings ford-Smith, the transpacific flyer, in a recent interview. "Camels re fresh me so when I'm fatigued," he continues, "and they are so mild that 1 can smoke any number with out throwing my nerves off key." I \ I "I smoke Camels all I want,” says Col. Roscoe Turner (right), ’cross-continent speed ace. "Because of their mildness, Camels never tire my taste. A speed flyer uses up energy just as his motor uses 'gas.’ After smoking a Camel, I get a 'refill’ in energy —a new feeling of vim and well-being.” m YOULL FIND THAI CAMELS ARE MILC TOO-BETTER FOR MOKING TUNE IN!
