Roosevelt's Social Objective
At his press conference
on being asked to define the
tration, replied off-hand:
. The social objective, I should say, remains Just what It was, which
Is to do what any honest government of any country would do: to try to
Increase the security and the happiness of a large number of people In
all occupations of life and In all parts of the country; to give them more
of the good things of life; to give them a greater distribution, not only of
wealth in the narrow terms but of wealth In the wider terms; to give them
places to go In the summer time recreation: to give them assurance
that they are not going to starve In their old age; to give honest business
a chance to go ahead and make a reasonable profit, and to give everyone
a change to earn a living.
There is no question but

resources and vast areas of fertile land for the unemployed

the transformation of an agricultural nation into an industrial

by the world war converting us into a creditor nation facing
a recrudescence of narrow nationalism, gave us the same

Douglas and the New Deal
Lewis Douglas, former
President Roosevelt is busy attacking the administration in
speeches in the east. He declared at Stroudsburar. Pa., that
the New Deal "parallels identically" the steps taken by Soviet
itussia "in lorcing communism on the people." He cites the
financial policy of gold seizure and devaluation as specific
instances, though any student of current history knows there
is no comparison between soviet terrorism and the New Deal.
Mr. Douglas himself was one of the original sponsors
of the New Deal he now so savaeelv assails. His unlit with
Roosevelt was due to the unbalanced budget and to the fact
that he is one who regards the gold standard as sacrosanct.
His part in creating the NRA is thus set forth by General
Hugh Johnson in a signed statement on the supreme court
decision:
Nowhere is there much quarrel with what the-Suprcme Court said
except that It was not too kind in saying It. People generally know that
NRA was hurriedly prepared under the pressure of great stress and danger.
miu. it wns wnira wnn ine neip ana concurrence o some of the most
conservative members of the Party and contrary to a recent published
statement of my friend, Arthur Knock, in the New York Times that the
bill was finally drafted In tho office of Lew Douglas, under hi direction
as me rresioenrs contact man on
participation and approval.
Nobody thought at that time that the Constitution was being
ridden over. The codes were to be the proposals ot Industry voluntarily
submitted, and the regulation of labor even 7a was not written as sub
stantive law but as something each industry must agree to as a quid pro
Huu " win uwciiia jt, euuguw
So we have the spectacle of Mr. Douglas, one of the au
thors of the New Deal now denouncing it as a communist
conspiracy.
Belated
Governor Martin of Washington has belatedly taken
the same step that Governor Martin of Oregon took at the
inception of lumber strike intimidation two weeks ago in
this state, by furnishing protection to workers who desire to
return to their jobs. State police officers have been instruc-
-I0.? , y stl'lkerl to confine their picketing "within legal
limits. Had he taken this stand for law enforcement at the
same time Oregon's governor did, the strike would now be
over.
It must be evident to all by this time, that radicals and
communists are m control of the lumber strike and intent on
destroying the industry. The radicals are mainly sur
vivors of the IWW strike in 1919, and utilize the same Unties
of terrorism. They have repudiated the comparatively con
servative A P of L which organized the strike to increase its
membership and then compromised for recognition in collec
tive bargaining.
The Washington executive acted on petition of men
anxious to return to work but prevented from it by agitators
and beat-up gangs from other places, as was the case at For
est Urove. The strike has been in progress a month and this

ABOUT MR. REDE
But then the whole thing
was
00 odd!
When her father had first writ
ten to say that he meant to leave
London and look for a bouse In the
country, he had sketched an out
line of the kind of place he want
ed; had mentioned Oxfordshire as
a likely spot, since his fiancee, Mrs,
sumers, wanted to hunt.
A golf course not more than
few miles off, some rough shooting,
a good tennis court, gardens, noth
Ing too large but room enough to
put up Alison's friends she had
read that part of the letter with
smile, for it was like her father
to want everything and want
just so.
In the very first few moments
Inside this house, she had thought
it strange that he should take any
thing quite so small, so dingy and
shabbily furnished, for Robert Rede,
if not rich In the sense of millions,
was comfortably wealthy and All
son s nome in London was big, wen
umished and well-run.
Travel, good hotels, a good cook
and a good school for his only
child her father had never stinted
himself In any of these ways and
Alison had wondered as she flashed
her torch into room alter room
whether this lonely ltitle old house
up on the Sussex Downs had been
chosen for him by the stepmother
to-be whom she had never met.
If so, she thought, her father
would be terribly disappointed! He
had always been fussy about dc
tails and by no stretch of Imagina
tion could the girl conceive his lik
ing this house or coming here to
picnic in it all alone.
Very odd; yet the telegram that
she had received only a few min
utes before leaving her school in
bausanne had been perfectly clear.
Cannot meet you as arranged.
Come direct the Croft House, War-
ley, Sussex, not later than eleven.
If I am late, wait there for me,
Father."
Alison wished now that she had
kept the wire instead of tearing it
up. Her boat did not get Into Dover
until eight; by catching the very
next train, she reached Warley by
10:35.
The chauffeur of the car which
she hired at the station did not
know her father's name but seemed
to know the house quite well, and
spoke of It as having been sold re
cently; but the man had made
rather a fuss over the six-mile drive
so late at night and had dumped
Alison s luggage In the porch sul
lenly, without waiting to see her
Inside the house before he started
up and drove away.
All very strange and very dis
turbing. But then she had been
disturbed too by the news contained
in her father's long letter .which
had come two days before that
cryptic telegram.
Engaged to a widow whom he had
met out in the south of France,
the most charming, the most sym
pathetic person he had ever met!
A lonely being like himself, he was
longing to meet Alison, who would
be sure to love her ten pages of
his neat, sloping hand bubbling
over with his new-found love.
Alison had felt rather ashamed
of not sharing his delight. She had
genuinely tried to feel pleased but
it was too difficult. They had been
so happy together: she and her
lather, in the holidays, had had
such fun! Th thought of this
third person made her afraid
What would Mrs. Sumers be like?
Would she understand their small
Jokes, their hobbies, the deep love
between them or would she try to

A widow might mean anything
forty fifty perhaps twentyl Her
gather gave her no Inkling. Alison,
telling herself that she was being
selfish, had tried to write back
warmly, and had failed. They had
planned so much together for this
year when she left school and now?
She had ended by sending a tele
gram of congratulation.
A serious and thoughtful girl,
oicier man her age, although a re
trousse nose and round, child-like
face made her look younger, she
had spent thirty-six apprehensive

THE RAIN
By Mary Graham Bonner
Now the ducks all played games.
Particularly did they enjoy playing
sttll-pond-no-more moving, which
was a game Willy Nllly had taught
the Quarko Ducks to play up In his
house.
Quacky was blindfolded and the
others swam around as quickly as
possible while he counted up to ten,
Then he swam around. As soon as
he caught a duck (for they all had
to stay quite still after the counting
was over) he had to guess which one
it was. If be did not guess correctly
the game was started ail over again,
but If he did guess the duck he had
caught that duck became IT.
Quacky wore a leaf handkerchief
hich Mrs, Quacko tied over his
eyes and he was IT three times be
fore he guessed right. It was then
Mr. Quaoko whom he caught and
no had to be IT.
When they had decided to change
and play another game suddenly it
began to rain slowly at first and
then with more force.
"What a beautiful ending to your
parly," quacked all the ducks. And
now the let the water run down
their backs and quacked:
"Just like water off a duck's back.
Doesn t hurt at all I Lots of fun I"
when the guests left, swimming
off In the rain, they aJ agreed that
they had not had such a good lime
in ages and Mrs. Quacko was a
proud and happy hostess.

The "Mulr agreement" signed by

stand in favor of the Mulr plan,
which said:
"We have not changed our posi

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington. June 8 The trou
ble with diplomacy is that it Is ut
terly humorless. Not enough com
edians are ambassadors. Thla de-
feet was nearly rectified recently
when the Justly famous and well
liked Jester, Eddie Cantor, called
on Mussolini, and, by a chance re
mark, upset the stiff relations of
two nations, cost one commercial
attache his Job and almost got an
ambassador in bad with the state
department. It is a story which
new dealers are telling only in
strictest confidence.
It seems that Cantor was at
loss for something to talk about
when he had a special audience
with the Italian dictator. He want
ed to say something pleasant and
internationally cordial, so he sue
gested in an offhand way that It
would be a good idea if Rome and
Hollywood could exchange movie
stars.
Mr. Mussolini failed to accept the
suggestion in tne ofmand manner
In which it was proposed. He
pressed all 60 buttons on his desk.
In came the cabinet, assistant sec
retaries, running. Mr. Mussolini
put them to work at once on the
new Idea
Tragedy The version which the
most eminent new dealers here have
is that Mr. Cantor, by this time
realized he had a bear by the tall
He handed the tail over to a com
mercial attache in Rome, who be
came greatly interested in the prop
osition and apparently made some
broad promises to Mr. Mussolini's
men. The American ambassador In
Rome became interested, took the
matter up with the state depart
ment here.
Up to tills time, apparently n
one had thought of asking Holly
wood wnat It thought about the
idea. The state department looked
Into that angle, found the movie
Industry not only cold to the propo
sition but frozen stiff against it.
The movie moguls did not want any
or Mr. Mussolini s actors and said
so.
But the movement had been taken
so far in Rome by this time that
no one dared to tell Mr. Mussolini
outright about the situation. The
promises of the commercial attache
could not possibly be fulfilled, s
authorities here decided the short
est way out of the situation would
be to recall him. This was done,
and he was given permanent leave
of absence without pay. But still
it waa necessary to do something
about Mr. Mussolini's actors. A
substitute plan was worked out so
that a few of them may come over
here on a tour and be given keys
to the cities, but no Jobs.
Hoover What Mr. Hoover has
been whispering Into the ears of
those reubltcan leaders on his lat
est transcontinental Journey Is sub
stantially this:
The next republican presidential
candidate should come from the
middle west . There Is where the
hopes of republican success must
center. The candidate must be
60und money man.
This cancels whatever previous
notion Mr. Hoover may have en
tertained that an easterner of the
type of Ogden Mills should be the
choice. Indeed, there Is good reason
to believe that those who got the
idea that Mr. Hoover Intended to
back Mills misinterpreted Mr. Hoov
er's position. He has told friends
lately that he never had any Idea
that mius could or should be nom
inated. Names The most Influential re
publican authorities agree with Mr.
Hoover this time. The names they
are talking over are well known:
Frank Knox, the Chicago publish
er, Senator Vandenberg of Michi
gan, Governor Landon of Kansas.
and Senator Dickinson of . Iowa.
No others.
You will shortly begin to hear
more about Dickinson's chances.

Q. What Is the reason that there
are so many bald-headed men and
so seldom a bald-headed woman?
T. G.
A. There are bald-headed women.
They are not, however, as common
as bald-headed ,men. Men become
bald more frequently than women
because it is part of the sexual dif
ference, such as the arrangement of
hair on the body and face.

flowers grow? J. T.
