' Well, here la a thought: Russia

It safe. So Italy, which la playing the
game with Japan, may have decided
to MAKE IT CKSATE tor Russia to

The way to do that, of course,
would be to stir up trouble In' Rus

In NEITHER case la the employer at
fault. The trouble Is between rival
unions, and the employer Is merely
a helpless bystander along with the
men who want to work and earn
wages.
WHAT can be done about it?
The answer Is short and sim
ple: NOTHING. Nothing, that is, at
present. The labor situation through
out the whole country will have to
get considerably worse before it can
get any better.
IT seems to this unimportant writer
(who may, of course, be wrong)
that the labor situation throughout
the country Is bad because the high
up leaders are more concerned with
dues and power than with the welfare
of those who work for wages.
Communications
Eugenics Best Birth Control,
To the Editor:
J. C. Reynolds' poem about birth
control made me wonder if he has
ever known the Joys of parenthood
Tf so. which one of your offsprln;
would you. Vish out of existence?
what is there in the world more
worth while to work for than one's
children? Does It develop one's soul
to slave to pay for a nice automo
bile? Or to dance all night or play
cards with fingertips tinted on both
sides, red on one and cigarette yel
low on the other?
Moreover, it is not right to cloud
growing children's minds with the
1 m pression that they are unwan ted
burdens.
That verse In proverbs about chil
dren being a poor man's riches, most
of us take literally. But after you
have lived long enough to get un
derstanding, we know that there Is
nothing else can make as much rich
ness of soul and happiness. If
sometimes feel embittered and re
belllous because of my lot in life,
I blame the methods of "Big Bust
ness."
And why should anybody be so
short-minded as to embrace the
thought for a moment that war is
one of 'the workings of Mother Na
ture to remove some of the people
when there are too many? Do you
think it would be nature's way to
take those with the most pertect
bodies, and leave the future to the
old and the maimed, like' war does?
No. sir! Nature la too wonderful to
use such methods. War also Is one
of the lusts of "Big Business."
You advocates of birth control,
why strain at gnats when we have
camels doing the Job for you. The
camels are the CCC. Thousands and
thousands of boys herded out
the woods like cattle fcsttle would
have one advantage) old enough to
be planning a home and happiness.
If you bl r t h con t rol sd vocs tes
would put your energies to work In

Orchard growers remove diseased
treea lest his whole orchsrd become
useless. Likewise, the fsrmer re
plants his best grain. Breeders of
fine poultry, or horses or cows,
use the same care. But we are most
negligent of the human race.
Consequently, we have prisons
illled with dangerous criminals, and
santariums filled with mongrel and
Idiots and Insane. AH of which costs
t hou sa nds of doll sn to the people
to keep up. The dollars, though
aren't the worst cost to the peopte.
Think of the sorrows and broken

conferencea to Include the natlona of
the rest of the world.
Now the Pen-American treaties can
be offered as an accomplished fact
and suggested ss a specific goal of
auch meetings.
In other words. Instead of saying
to the world. "Let's do something."
the United Suites Is now saying.
"Let's get together and do this."
When the story of President Roose
velt's battle over the supreme court
reorganization Is written, It will be a
strange tals.
Perhaps the strangest chapter will
tell of tho part that Felix Frank
furter, widely chronicled as the legal
foster-father of most New Weal meas
ures, did not play In the story.
As a matter of fact, this erudite
idealist of Harvard never saw the
draft of the court bill and the mes
sage which accompanied It until they
were in print. This, in spite of the
fact If we may believe the report
of one of his nearest friends that, of
all the Frankfurtiian members of the
New Deal, Tommy Corcoran, alleged
author of the bill, was his fairest of
fair-haired boya.
What will surprise and shock many
ardent thick -and -thin followers of
this Ill-fated piece of legislation is
that Felix Frankfurteer not only op
posed the bill, but, If pressed, would
have testified against it at the hear
ings of the Judiciary committee.
In fact, he was invited to testify,
but, at the request of a close friend
who knew how embarrassing It might
be, the Invitation was not pressed.
If he had come, he would have said
(according to those who Insist they
know), among other things:
"Break down the barriers . which
have protected the independence of
the supreme court, and the way will
llebroad open for the flrst-man-who-
would-be-dictstor, whatever his nsme
may prove to be."
Prof. Frankfurter never said those
words. But some of his friends assert
they were his sentiments, though
they were expressed by Prof. Erwin
N. Griswold, who testified for some
35 pnges before the Judiciary com
mittee. While It couldn't even be whispered
in the solemn conclaves of the men
who direct America's foreign affairs,
as a matter of fact there Is a power
ful personage who sits In on all of
these gathcrlnga when our relation
with Japan are concerned.
He Is King Cotton.
The representatives of his realm in
Dixie have thetK full share of mem
bers on the senate committee on for
eign relations and the house commit
tee on foreign affairs.
When Representative McReynolds
upholds the policy of his fellow Ten
nessean, Secretary of State Hull,
which so far has kept the trade lanes
to the Orient open, or when Senator
Connally of Texas echoes his senti
ments, King Cotton nods approval.
Since 1931, Japan, and not Great
Britain, as heretofore, has become
America's best cotton consumer. Ger
many, Japan's good friend. Is number
two consumer. Both countries have
been heavy buyers of "linters," the
fuzzy substance shaved off the cotton
seed in the manufacture of oil. Thes? ,
are essentials In the making of high 1
explosives.
Any break In our trade relations
with these two countries would cut !
down the cotton export market near
ly 40 per cent.
