Is U. S. Veering to Right?
THE result in yesterday ' primaries are more conservative
victories than New Deal defeats.
Three technically anti-Roosevelt candidates won handily,
Senator Clark in Missouri, Representative Smith, and Sir.
Colgate Darden, Senator Byrd's congressional candidate in
Virginia.
But the administration made no fight against any of these
men, so the Roosevelt issue was not really involved. '(
The maximum gratification, the Rooseveltphobiacs can gain
from yesterday's flurry of ballots therefore, is the demonstrated
truth, that 100 support of Roosevelt, is not essential to politi
cal preferment in the Democratic party. Which incidentally
is all to the good.
We can only regret a similar

while former Governor Reed,
stantial, conservative, but not
in that state.
Bennett Clark of Missouri, son of the famous ultra conserva
tive Champ Clark, with the state Democratic machine solidly
behind him, had a walkaway
Clark opposed the President's supreme court measure and his
reorganization bill, and all down the line, refused to follow
the leader of his party when
turned too far to the left.
It is doubtful if the President could have beaten Clark,
but as long as he made no effort
in posting the result, as a kick
pants.
THE first REAL test of Roosevelt's political strength will
come Saturday in Kentucky, when "Dear Albcn" (Barkley)
will meet an extremely formidable opponent in Governor
"Happy" Chandler, who believes in fighting federal machine
fire with state machine fire, and is doing it.
Until then, the primary results don't demonstrate anything
very significant regarding the President's political strength,
one way or the other,
They do indicate that public sentiment in the country at
large is veering toward the conservative side, which if it 'con
tinues that way, is from the standpoint of Republican success
in 19-iO, extremely important.
Campaign Cliches
'T'HIS column herewith raises
follows:
"Wa solemnly .wear w. will
thl. campaign and the one following, to avoid two of the
leading political cliche, namely. Liberal and Rubber Stamp.
so help us Oodl"
Perfectly good and understandable terras, but so abused
and overworked they have lost nil moaning and all respect
ability.
Take "Liberal" for example. Today it is used as a verbal
cloak to cover everyone who favors Roosevelt and the New Deal.
He is for the present administration t Well then willy nilly, he
is a LIBERAL.
As a matter of fact, some of the most il-libcral, bigoted,
narrow-minded partisans now living are for President Roosevelt
and all he says and does. They have no more understanding
of the term than the officers and board of directors of the late
and unlanientcd Liberty League.
and temperamentally there are few more GENUINE
"LIBERALS", than the titular leader of the Republican party,
former Governor Landon. Liberality in other words is not how
a person votes, but how he thinks and feels. POLITICALLY.
'OUBBER STAMP" represents the reverse side of the same
pious and platitudinous political coin. It is used as a
term of opprobrium for the man who votes for a Roosevelt
measure, when the speaker would
the measure is an important one, and has aroused considerable
feeling.
The most striking example of this we can recall was the
recent condemnation' of Senator Norris by the Garnett press,
as just another Roosevelt "rubber stamp."
Now the venerable senator from Nebraska can be called a
number of things but rubber stamp is NOT one of them. His
voting record for the New Deal may be 100 but anyono who
knows hiin or anything about him, knows that his vote, what
ever it may be, has been the result of thought and conviction,
not blind adherence to any porson or any party. Next to
Senator Borah, Senntor Norris is generally conceded to be the
most, independent and least blindly partisan, member of the
Upper House.
In other words, "rubber stamp" is a term applied by the
prosecution to any member of the congress who in an important
division, sides with the administration; just as "liberal" is
applied to the same person by the defense.
Doth ternfs have been so abused and misused this column,
as above stated, is going to do its best in the future to avoid
them.

THE PERILS
Over-exertion la perhaps the most
common and the moat serious haz
ard of the annual vacation. Every

people of seden

ming, canoeing,
hiking, golf,
tennis, baseball,
riding, and the like. When the
strain la over It takes them weeks
to recover If they ever do recover,
That depends on how much damage
the heart muscle has suffered.
An excellent rule for any one In
the white collar class on vacation
Is this: When In doubt about the
wisdom of any unaccustomed activ
ity, duck It. You can always decide
that you feel Inclined to laze or
read or do some writing or take
nap this afternoon.
Young adults who get little or no
exercise the year round ahould train
for vacation by a dally schedule of
walking, from a mile twice dally at
first gradually Increased to a dally
walk of six miles after a month or
ao. If 'It Is Impossible to do this,
then at least they should carry out
a dally schedule of setting-up exer
cises, such as the movements of the

Probably the most painful and se
rious sunburns occur from the
eagerness -ol the young person to
acquire a coat of tan In a week. One
who Is more concerned about that
than about the health-value of ex

purchase a bottle of artificial "sun-

freely before Indulging In the unac

Probably the best way to avoid

exposures carefully In the first two

went back to the
patio and rested some more while
having a smoke, and after that we
got Into bathing suits, climbed Into
the car. and lit out for the beach.
I suppose the Boxwood beach where
we swim Is about two miles from
the Inn. It Isn't the prettiest beach
tn the world, but It la private and
It Is comfortable and there is a big
hot sun and a lot of hot sand and
all the water even a greedy swimmer
might car for. There Is. in fact, all
of Long Island sound, and on clear i
days you can look across 10 miles I
of salt water and see the tip of Long
Island.
Well, after we got to the beach we
spread blanketa and then stretched
out In the sun to have a nap and
rest some more. And then we shift
ed so that we could get burned all
over, and after that we went in
swimming. The sound Isn't as rough
as the ocean, but it la just as salty
The island serves as a bumper for
the big breakers, so that usually
we get only gentle swells and white
caps of a mtnor order.
It waa while taking these swells
In the shallows near shore that the

I thought It was a big snake until

little too much for very white or
susceptible skins; or It may not bo

It Is suggested merely aa an example.
Any one not accustomed to ex

feels that the white skin la becom

By FRANK JENKINS
SOMETHING la happening along the
border between Japanese Man-
chouquo and Russian Siberia.
. Developments are clouded by cen
sorship and propaganda, but It looks
as If considerable forces ara being
employed by both aldea. Operations
so far reported are apparently far
beyond the scale of a mere border
Incident.
It will be Interesting to see what
comes of It.
THE fighting, please note, la over a
few barren hills whose ownership
la In dispute.
Russia possesses already more bar
ren hills than she has any real use
for, and you can put It down In your
day-book that she isn't risking a war
that ahe DOESN'T WANT In order to
confirm her possession of a few more.
If Russia backs up this border dis
pute with real force, it may be taken
for granted that she 'means business
so far as Japan Is concerned.
IP Russia really means business, in
this border clash with Japan quite
a lot of new history is due to be made

tlons la prefaced with careful, fairly
factual argument. Ita central thesis
Is that the present securities laws
unwisely hamper tha flow of new
capital Into industry. Many facta
are adduced to prove 'this among
others, that, because public offer
ings have been made so difficult,
"over a billion dollars ot securities
have been placed by private sale In
the three years, 1038 to 1937. In
clusive." Its only thoroughly contro
versial recommendations are those
concerning bank - underwriting and
the size of the SEC. All summed up
In the memorandum, they read:
"Additional capital in the under
writing business is necessary. Banks
and trust companies should be al
lowed to underwrite, but not to en
gage In retail distribution (of securi
ties). This will require not only ap
propriate amendments of the bank
ing act of 1933, but also amendments
of the liability sections of the securi
ties act,
"The size of the securities and ex
change commission should be Imme
diately Increased to at least seven,
and probably to nine members."
These make the most ardent New
Dealers see really red. Bank under
writing was the great object of at
tack of the Pecora Investigation and
the inner circle of the New Deal
has never lost its conviction that
banks, and especially J. P. Morgan
and company, should be kept out of
the underwriting business. As for
the Increase In the size of the com
mission, its ostensible purpose Is to
permit SEC departmentalization, on
the lines of the ICC. But New Deal
ers see In It an effort to get greater
conservative representation on the j
commission.
The other recommendations are
distinctly technical, and. while few
of them are even accepted In theory
by SEC experts, they have aroused
less excitement. They are, In part:
"Material simplification and co
ordination of all federal legislation
dealing with the securities markets
Is of the greatest Importance . .
The present machinery of registra
tion (of the securities) should be
simplified. The registration state
ment (should be abolished) as
separate document, and (there should
be filed) In place thereof only a
prospectus, with exhibits . . . The
present length of prospectuses should
be cut down . . .
"The liability provisions (affect
ing offerers of new securities) should
be changed . . . The present prohi
bition as to solicitation (of sales of
new securities before final registra
tion) should be removed . . . The
period for the compulsory delivery
of prospectuses should be cut down
. . , subunderwrltlng should be made
practicable , rules should be
adopted, so as to handle the prob
lem (of defining, pegging, fixing and
stlbillzing of prices of newly offered
securities)."
The prlma-facle evidence, down to
the physical appearance of the mem
orandum, which resemblea other
documents from Morgan's, testifies
that the -foregoing recomen da tlons
do come from Morgan. Stanley. What
the result of the recommendations
will be, none can foretell. But It may
be noted that the New Dealers have
watched the vast proportion of total
underwriting now done by Morgan,
Stanley with a distinctly Jaundiced
eye.

At last they've found a use
for "hill billy" bands,
Tor the wailing and croon
ing of top cow hands. -
They use 'em for soothin'
vote-gettin' bait,
To elect a governor of Texas,
the Lone Star state.
They corralled the votes for
the flour king,
Whenever and wherever
they stopped to sing.
Just equip a Chevrolet as a
modern sound truck
And all the other candidates
are "outa" luck!
