A Papal Flying Field,
Russia's Slave Labor.

Many things have been done
by the popes important to
h n m a n 'beings everywhere
They have ciieonraned the arts,
and the world owes to them
its greatest pictures, statues,
buildings. T hey established
Europe's first universities and
sent missionaries exploring and
civilizing aimn Indians of our
Great Lakes and the Chinese
in Asia.
The present pope now ap
pears as a friend and promoter
of aviation, and in a most im
portant direction.
Within the limited Vatican
City territory allotted to the
J"papacy, by Mussolini, there is
not room for a full sized avia
tion field. The pope, therefore-
will encourage develop
ment of the helicopter, that
rises and lands perpendicularly
and will have a small helicopter
airport.
This is important to scien
tific aviation, and will enable
the pope at any time to leave
papal territory for any destin
ation without entering upon
territory that may become hos
tile. The Leajrnc of Karons labor
bureau gives information about
labor conditions in Russia. All
jobs are obtained through gov-
eminent agencies. Any work
man can quit by giving seven
days' notice.
Hut if he does quit, he is
railed an industrial "deserter"
mid for six months after he
quits, although he may be a
highly skilled man, the govern
ment gives him nothing to do
but manual labor. Then he is
reinstated.
This is Russia's much talked
of "slave labor." It certainly
is not "free labor," as the
western world understands it.
However, Russia considers
industrial success a matter of
v life and death, as western na
tions consider military success
a matter of life and death.
In n military crisis we sent
three million men to Europe
without asking their permis
sion, and if one deserted the
punishment was something
worse than a job at manual
labor. It was DKATU.
Iliissiii lonslrteis Industrial tit
timph as Important us military tri
umph. Russian labor conditions norrlry
us, because they aro new. We
take It lor granted, that a boy of
eighteen, tired, exhausted by a tons
march and golni! to sleep on scnlry
duly should he put to death, it's
all a matter of custom.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. ffl
(Sunday) Ctockhands had crept
past midnight when congress quit
early today for the holidays after
voting $311,000,000 In emergency
relief as its Christmas gift to tho i
nation.
It was a snarling, strife-torn
senate that yielded to permit en
actment of tho emergency legis
lation, and anxious leaders looked
ahead with misgivings to the pros
pect of finishing tho regular busi
ness before March 4.
The senate began Its session at
1 1 a. m., Saturday and made stub
born, hailing, hard fought pro
gress throughout tho day and into
the night. Tho last action was
tho passage of the $100,000,000
farm board appropriation, which
was fought to completion whllo
house members, their own work
long sineo finished, watched the
clock, told stories, and yawned.
Tho heralded Republican-Democratic
cooperation movement to
speed legislation and to avoid an
extra session of congress in tho
spring was all hut buried under
tho dissension which flared Into
both parties.
None of tho regular appropria
tion bills carrying the funds to
meet the covernment's exnenses
during tho next year got through !
the senate for final enactment
and thero must bo disposed of be
foro March if tho extra session
is to bo avoided.
: Beginning with apparent cordi
ality toward the president, the
mood of many senators changed
quickly after ho issued a state
ment that "tho senate was Play
ing politics at tho expense of hu
man misery.''
The senate had passed a drought
relief bill for $60,000,000. instead
of tho lower figure wanted by the
administration and amendments
to the $116,000,000 for Immediate
uso on public improvements had
not been to Mr. Hoover's liking.
In addition, bills carrying au
thorizations of hundreds of mil
lions beyond tho program outlined
had been Introduced. Hardly a
day passed after tho last fell that
Mr. Hoover was not criticised and
assailed on tho scnato floor, west
ern progressives Joining Demo
crats in tho attacks.

Immediately at hla disposal for
now Jobs on federal Improvements
throughout tho nation.
This emergency measure, got
through congress early in tho aft
ornoon and together with tho
uieasuro authorizing $45,000,000
for loans to drought stricken farm
ers to put In next year's crops
was promptly signed.
Tho $45,000,000 must still bo
appropriated. This will be done
immediately after the holidays and
meunwhilo arrangements wilt b
prefected for getting tho loans to
tho farmers.
Tho $116,000,000 Is available at
onco and will bo put into Immed
iate use. In his recommendations
and In his public statements con
cerning them tho president has
emphasized that work can begin
Immediately.
All tho technical phases such
as obtaining sites, architectural
planning and engineering havo
been completed on all the projects '
included under tho recommenda
tions. Mr. Hoover has said actual
employment under the bill can

one to three months.
Tho bill, in addition to allowing
acluul tabor to start on buildings
and other projects, will provide

will supply materials.
The legislation completed tho

$116,000,000 It heard a new ap
peal for additional rellof. r '
tionutora LaPollotto, Republican,

Massachusetts, assailed the appro
priation as a; "drop in the bucket."
They read reports from an; inde
pendent survey iof employment
conditions in moro than 200 cities
conducted by themselves and do
mandod that congress enact a
direct appropriation to be spent
In relief work.
H o n a t o r Glllott, Republican,
Massachusetts, supported the con
tention of the administration that
tho cities and communities with
tho aid of tho Red Cross could
moot their own problems. He
urged that Amorlcan self reliance
bo fostorcd as "the sure way to
continued growth and prosperity
for America." .
Tho emergency appropriation
bill allocates the fund as follows:
Federal aid highway system
$80,000,000.
