NCMBER AUDIT BimtAV Of CIRCULATION
j Criticizing Critics
TN a letter on this page today a correspondent infers
that it is a requirement of good citizenship to sup
port tlie president and congress in "whatever they
attempt to do so long as it doesn't interfere with our
constitutional rights."
' As a matter of fact, citizenship in this democratic
dountry embraces the privilege of criticizing or prais
ing, according to one's personal opinion, the presi
dent, congress, or any other public official or agency
which handles the public business.
It needs hardly be said that good citizenship re
quires more than shouting hooray at every legislative
and administrative scheme advanced by those elected
' to public office. It calls for a constant, lively, critical
; interest in governmental affairs.
; Let those who, like our friendly correspondent,
are irked sometimes when they hear criticism of the
present national regime, recall how they themselves
felt and expressed themselves when Mr. Hoover was
president Inasmuch as Mr. Roosevelt was quite out
spoken of his criticism of what the president at
tempted to do at that time, our correspondent's test
would raise a question as to Mr. Roosevelt's good
citizenship and we're sure she doesn't mean that
; We feel, however, that the contributor's remarks
- regarding her newspaper are honestly made and a
little discussion is in order in this connection. While
opinion of the editors is expressed in the editorial
columns, the news in this newspaper, and all good
American newspapers, is handled on a strictly ob
jective basis, and without regard to editorial policy.
In this newspaper, furthermore-space is provided
for letters to the editor, and letters -in disagreement,
such as that received today, are particularly welcome.
Those who criticize should be willing to take a little
themselves; :, " " ' z,n "'
Civic Event : ;
HE annual meeting of the Malin chamber of com
merce, attended Tuesday, night by more than 300
persons, was an impressive-demonstration of the
forward-looking spirit of the southend community.
Many constructive achievements made it a banner
year for the Malin chamber, and' it was fitting that
the period sliould be topped off with an enthusiastic
annual meeting. Just about everybody down that way
tuiiieu out, ana is arxraciea many irom otner com
munities.' Many of the citizens of the Malin district are for
mer residents of what was once Czecho-Slovakia,
and many others are descendenta of one-time resi
dents of that country. They
aim progressive people, ana tnose of us who have
come to know them have realized why the Czechs are
. universally respected as a great people.
Whether they be Czechs or non-Czechs, the people
of the Malin community are united in their efforts
for community progress, as the success of the cham-
oer oi commerce there attests.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81 A
fresh Inside report on the
crumbling internal economy of
Japan has reached the front
offices of the state department.
It pierced the censorship and
cannot be made public but may
explain a lot of coming events
here including State Secretary
Hull's disinclination to approve
the proposed senate embargo.
Gravest Japanese deficiency
of the moment Is in coal. Lead
ing manufacturing plant in the
three largest industrial cities
had to be hut down fourteen
hours day for two weeks re
cently. A long drought cut
hydro-electric power production
in half, causing industry to
need 2,000.000 more tons of
coal annually, and this cannot
be obtained. The miners are
away to war in China and
Manchurlan plants are increas
ingly absorbing production
there
The deficiency may or may
not be enough to break Japan
The report dow not say. But
Mr. Hull may find ground in it
for assuming a position against
the embargo, thus lavlng the
United States free to impose I
countervailing duties and furth
er import restrictions as dip
lomatic neo"yiv arises.
DFWEY FEARED
Leader: Senator farxtenberg
was regarded a likeliest choice
tor me repuoucan presidential
nomination among national com
mitteemen and women who
should know best.
Prevailing Vandenberg opin
ion among them was shown at
a dinner-table consensus of a
dozen newsmen, some one of
whom had tnlked with each
member. But the committee
crowd was not at all sure the
Michigan senator would et it
They were afraid of Dewew
whom they call "the Dick
Tracy candidate." Thev re
ported the peol in thfl lo
calities seemed ' le afrid of
Dewey's youth and tot'l lack
of executive i experience than
they were.
FARLEY HELPS
Noblesse Obline: The wise
oolitical men of the congress-
lotiftl cloakrooms accept Gen
eral1 Farley's entry In Massa
chusetts a s intervention for
Roosevelt, and are telling this
story:.,. ..... ,, .
The democratic chairman is
supposed to have gone to the
president apd said substantially:
"1 see you are not entered
in Massachusetts."
The president is being quoted
as replying:
."I don't knew anything about
It, Jim."
"Well, you can't beat some
body with nobody. Do you
object if I enter?"
"Why no, Jim, go right
bead."
The tale, not substantiated
by direct confirmation, is
nevertheless apparently entitled
to credence in view of the sim
ilar inference In the published
telegram by Massachusetts State
Chairman William H. Burke. .
WRONG SLANT
Careful: Senator Wheeler's
announcement that he wanted
no part, pro or eon, of the third
term fight in primaries, is be
ing misinterpreted as a break
from his friend. Jack Garner,
the -ice president Wheeler
made the decision merely to
play his maximum chances. He
has not sufficient strength to
contest successfully against the
president, and did not want to
cast away the nomination by a
hone ess contest.
Garner and Wheeler are still
friends, although their political
amicability has been greatly

Dickering: New Wagner bill
to set up a strong judicial med

but how far it will go, no
body knows.
Senator Wagner may have
pushed it up front at this time

baby, NLRB Whether the
measure will be pressed for
adoption this session is yet un
decided. Some new deal poli

if they can get away with It.
Author of the Wagner idea
is Dr. John R, Steelman, strong

isting conciliation service in the
labor department. His depart
ment is recognized everywhere
as the most efficient of admin
