"Benevolent Despotism"
Protesting the emergency powers being given to the
president by congress and declaring the nation is drifting
into a benevolent despotism the Portland Gregoman says
The people signed up for a new deal but did not sign a check in
blank payable out of their lives, their fortunes. It is time, we think, that
congress become again conscious of Its own functions, and of the consti.
tutlonal limitations upon it and upon the executive.
The nation is where it is- today simply because of lack
o strong, leadership, in the White House and the divided
leadership in congress which thwarted efforts of the executive-
aa the country swept into, a maelstrom of disastrous de-
llation'.
In normal times the constitutional limitations of gov
ernment work satisfactorily enough but they never have
and they never will work in great emergencies. Fortunately
our system is resilient enough to enable the congress to con
fer great powers on the executive at such times and reduce
itself to- an adtvisory board to ratify the executive s action.
and then resume its functions when the emergency has
passed'.
All governments are "benevolent despotisms" and many
with the benevolence eliminated. The acts of congress may
be- just as despotic aa those of any other governing power.
It is. when, the benevolence is eliminated that tyranny reigns,
and neither the congress nor the people nor the executive
himself will stand for that.
President Roosevelt has a popular mandate to restore
prosperity and demands the emergency powers that will en
able him to attempt it. lie is willing to lead the way and
the people to follow his leadership. If he accomplishes the
result sought, the ends justify the means. If he does not,
of course he is finished a fact he realizes as well as anyone:
Meanwhile he is entitled to hearty cooperation to make hi3
efforts successful, with a truce to politics.
Our Gold Policy
"In the series of financial crises which have followed
each other since the summer of 1931 each nation has finally
been forced to decide whether it would defend the gold pari
ty of its currency or its own internal price level. No nation
has been able to do both. No nation has been able to main
tain the value of its currency in terms of gold and also to
stabilize the domestic purchasing; power of its currency.
choice has had to be made between keeping up prices at home
and of -keeping up the gold value of the currency abroad,
says Walter Lipman, publicist, in discussing the desertion of
the gold standard by the United States.
Germany in the summer of 1931, elected to maintain the
gold value of the reichsmark. In doing it, commodity prices
have fallen 1& percent, and the deflation resulting was so
great that it brought about a revolution and installed Hitler.
Great Britain in the fall of 1931, elected to defend its
price structure, rather than the gold value of the pound,
which has therefore depreciated in other countries. But the
price level has been stabilized and there has been no acute
crisis. - Smaller nations followed Britain's course and went
off the gold standard with beneficial results deflation cent
ered in the gold standard nations.
The- United States had to either follow the German poli
cy of defending gold parity of the currency or the British
policy of defending the internal price structure against con
tinued- deflation. It has chosen the British plan for it was
plain that to maintain the gold parity of currency condemns
the nation to continued deflation and falling prices.
Having finally decided to go off the gold standard, and
adopt a policy of controlled inflation, there will not be the
necessity for the intricate and paternalistic schemes like the
farm bill to counteract the effect of the fall in prices. Al
ready price deflation has been checked. Nor will there be
the necessity ot inflation by fiat money, bo strongly urged
on congress, which would have inevitably followed.
Critic Turns Administrator
The most persistent critic of the government's admin
istration of Indian affairs has been appointed commissioner
of the Indian bureau by President Koosevelt. He is John
Collier, who as secretary of the American Indian Defense as
sociation has waged relentless warfare upon the bureau's
tactics. Time and again, he has exposed its extravagance,
exploitations, abuses and stupidity in its treatment of the
noble rcdmen. He probably knows more about Indian af
fairs than nny person in the country.
Mr. Collier has devoted many years to study and at
tempted reformation of the bureau. He is now in position
to enforce these reforms which are badly needed. The
critic has now become the administrator and will have to
make good and probably will.
Perhaps the biggest waste of money by the bureau is
Its persistent attempt to civilize tribes that have proven im
pervious to civilization, and return to native ways as soon a?
pressure is removed. One thing seems certain, the idle In
dians will be given jobs on their own reservations and sup
plant the whites, while exploitation and robbery of their
property will be checked.

Pox Film Corporation brings "Ca
valcade to the screen of the Grand
theater Sunday.
This drama whose theme is the
effect of world events on the home
and family has been hailed as the
greatest written in the English lan
guage In a score of years- The au
thor, Noel Coward, known for his
successes, enjoyed the distinction of
having his play run for a solid year
at the Drury Lane theater in Lon
don.
A staff of experts was sent from
Hollywood to sec the play and to
photograph it for reference. Anoth
er large staff was put to work on
the research necessary to bring a
story that covers the colorful period
trom 1900 to 1933 to the screen with
absolute accuracy of costumes,
equipment and historical back
grounds.
More than six months of prepara
tion by a staff that numbered 200
preceded the actual start of pro
duction. Captain Reginald C. Berk
eley, distinguished English play
wright, was brought over from Lon
don to adapt the play for the screen.
Frank Lloyd, twice winner of the
Academy award for the best pro
duction of the year, was chosen as
director.
Never has Beauty had such an
amazing champion as the Beast
which fights for Fay Wray In RKO
Hadlo Pictures' "King Kong," com
ing attraction at the Warner Bros.
Elsinore theater.
In this sensational film Is an ape
fifty feet tall taller than the Jun
gle trees in which he places her
while he protects her, in ferocious
combat, from weird and huge di
nosaurs and a pterodactyl, a winged
horror that tries to steal her.
But the terrors that beset the girl
and Robert Armstrong and Bruce
Cabot, In the jungles, are magnified
when they take the great ape to
New York.
Thinking the girl in danger, "King
Kong" breaks his Iron bonds and
runs wild through the city. Traffic,
elevated railways, buildings suffer
from the strength of this prehis
toric animal with the strength of a
locomotive.
For the greatest thrill you have
ever seen reserve the climax in
wliich, from atop the highest build
ing in the world, "King Kong" bat
tles with his fist the pursuit planes
that are trying to kill him by pump
ing him full of machine gun bullets!
The National
Whirligig
By PAUL MALLON
Waaliinston The first inside skir
mish with the French gave Mr.
Roosevelt food for thought. It show
ed elenrly what he Is up against in
these Impending tete-a-tetes with
European statesmen.
His major private purpose was to
keep Herrlot out of town until he
got through with MocDonald. He
figured five days would be enough
with the British premier. The
Frenchman was diplomatically per
suaded to sail on the He de France.
That was perfect for us, but the
French did not like it. They do not
want to lose their liaison with Eng
land by dealing with us neparately.
So what do they do but get the
French line to move up the sailing
date of the He de France by two
days. That would put Herrlot here
two days before MacDonald departs.
That Is all very clever. But like
some things the French do, it is too
clever.
Our officials are keeping mum
but they well know the French go
vernment controls French steamship
lines. They know also that ex-Pre
mier Herrlot did all that diplomatic
law allows to get in on the MacDon
ald conference.
A whispered huddle of state de
partment experts was called. They
figured out a Notre Dame shift to
meet the French maneuver. It will
be a nice little surprise for Mr. Her.
riot.
When MacDonald arrives he will
go straight to the White House. He
will be m guest there throughout bis
slay. When Herrlot arrives he will
NOT go-to the White House. Instead
lie will toss on the pillows of the
French embassy for two days won
dering what Mcis, Roosevelt and
MacDonald are doing.
Ordinarily such strategy might be
considered too raw for high grade
diplomacy but there Is a neat excuse
tor its use now.
MacDonald Is a reigning: premier.
As such, he is entitled by custom to
Bleep at the White House. Herrlot Is.
only a former premier. He must find

HUMAN EMOTIONS PICTURED VIVIDLY
IN "CAVALCADE," EPIC FILM DRAMA
am iiriTni
I. H I I I ,
"Cavalcade," the great Noel Cow
ard drama produced by Fox, comes
to the Grand theater Sunday for an
engagement of five days. It arrives
fresh from the most positive tri
umph ever accorded a motion pic
ture, wherever It has played It has
achieved the highest praise and the
most avid entusiasm from both
rcitlcs and motion picture audi
ences. "Cavalcade" depicts the emotions
of two humans, one a mother and
the other a father, amid the tur
bulent events of three decades. It
has been hailed as the most touch
ing most stirring, most magnificent
drama ever seen on the screen.
Diana Wynyard and Clive Brook
have the principal roles, with a sup
porting cast that includes Herbert
Hundui, Ursula Jeans, Una O'Con
nor, Frank Lawton, Irene Browne,
Merle Tottenham and Beryl Mer
cer. The production woe directed
by Frank Lloyd from the screen play

Causes Of The Depression
And Monetary Values
By G. F. Warren of Cornell University
be going too far. Perhaps some mo
dification will be made. But there
will not be a three power confer
ence of any kind under any circunv
stances Our officials swear to that.
The French have started already
to make use of their new large
appropriation to spread French pro
paganda In America.
Although no announcement has
been made, the Havas agency has
doubled its New York staff. Expan
sion of its offices here and elsewhere
Is under way. The plan is to sell
Its government-controlled news ser
vice direct to American newspapers.
That has never been tried before.
The trouble with that plan is no
one will buy it or take it if it is
given away. American papers were
not Dora yesterday.
Washington has learned a lot
about foreign diplomacy in the past
lew years. It has been bit too often.
The old big-hearted attitude of
looking on all the world as a bro
ther Is entirely absent.
The state of mind of our officials
now Is that if you want to keep
your eye teeth among those sharp
traders, you will need your wits.
There are no hard feelings toward
any nation, just a. deep opinion that
we must be on guard to protect our
rights. That make a new departure
irom tne attitude of the past three
aamimstrations.
ARTICLE VII.
Nothing is gained by minimizing
the 'gravity of the situation. Re
peated confidence statements can
not change the facts. They discredit
leadership and cause losses to in
numerable individuals through false
hopes. While the country has never
before experienced as great defla
tion as we are now a',- opting, we
have had experiences which indi
cate the probable length of the de
flation disease. It usually takes 6
or 7 years to go far enough with the
bankrupting process so that con
struction can begin, and it takes
many more years fully to complete
the process.
If we are going through with de
flation, debt adjustment commis
sions are desirable to operate for a
number of years. The' legal system
of writing down debts- works badly
enough when only a few bankrupt
properties are thrown on the mar
ket. It destroys values for both the
creditors and lenders when applied
in wholesal way. A creditor often
takes over a home or a farm, keeps
it in hopes of a sale until the car
rying charges eat up much of the
value. In the meantime, the prop
erty depreciates. Finally, in despair,
a shoestring sale is often made to
a less desirable buyer than the dis
possessed owner. Debt adjustment
commissions should study each case
and make recommendations for set
tlement for all creditors. Such rec
ommendations from a disinterested
party would save many owners and
help many lenders, and would keep
many of the cases out of the courts.
If the government lending agencies
wish to lend more money they will
do more good by taking up the safer-
part of the underlying mortgages in
;such cases than by direct loans to
the lending corporations, which do
not get at the root of the trouble.
Wlule it is not the purpose of this
discussion to consider what the in
dividual can do for himself, I should
like to insert one piece of advice
to the millions of farmers and city
home-owners who are losing their
homes and lifetime savings. If one
has a good farm, it seems to me that
the best thing to do is to retain po
session of it as long as possible, In
the hope that some temporary rise
in prices- or possibly a monetary
change will enable him to keep the
property. If he gives up, the sav
ings are surely gone. He has little
to lose from holding on as long as
any slight chance remains.
The man who has failed in busi
ness or is out of work is blamed for
it, and he often blames himself. This
is adding insult to injury. Most of
the failures are not due to unsound
business but to unstable money, for
which no individual is to blame. The
farmer or business man who has
Auyone who has the nerve to try
to- crash into a party where he is
not wanted will also have the nerve
to go to the White House while
MacDonald is there.
The Inside whisper la that if Her
rlot docs he will be received cordial
ly by the president DOWNSTAIRS
while MacDonald remains up In his
room. That is the present Intention
of administration offlctola It may

value of gold will result in discov
eries of it, so that a later genera

The general attitude of the public
seems to be to prefer to write every
thing down In terms of gold rather
than raise the price of gold. The
strain on public credit to teed mi
employed persons and the social
confusion from such general bank
ruptcies may make it impossible to
complete the process. No such vio

through by any modem nation.
