CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) FARM RELIEF Farm relief at last materializes in the form of a law. After years of dabbling in plans to remedy the disastrous situation brought on the country’s great basic industry by the after-the-war deflation of 1920, a measure which will seek to rid agriculture of its ills is on the statute books, bearing the signature of President Hoover. Unlike the previous plans proposed, the new law does not run counter to fixed economic principles or consti- tutional validity, as did the other measures at times en- acted but turned down by presidential veto. That it does not is due to the fact that the previously vetoed equal- ization fee scheme was not offered this time and its equally dubious offspring, the debenture plan, was forced out of the bill by the house refusal to accept the senate bounty proposal—which President Hoover already had set himself against in a denunciation implying inevitable ‘veto if gent to him in a relief bill. ‘The unwavering attitude of the house final?y smashed the stand of the senate—where the debenture plan was upheld by a very slender margin of votes. The insurgents might have come out of the impasse earlier by acting with their party under protest and offering the excuse that, with the president on record as determined to veto any debenture measure, there was nothing for them to do, if they were to make honest effort to formulate a relief plan, than to accept the only thing in sight of which there was any prospect of getting—the Hoover ideas as embodied in the house bill. ‘The president thus has withstood the first shock to his policies and has come out of the scrimmage victor. That should give him confidence and stiffen his purpose in the next clash with a congress which has shown itself in con- siderable disharmony with the executive end of the gov- ernment at Washington. For the farmers, however, what scrap is going to be staged next between the executive and legislative de- partments does not have the same lure that the bill just made law has. Agriculture will with watchful waiting look for results from the new agricultural legislation. It ‘will note whom the president selects to put into execu- tion its provisions, it will hope for quick results. For the new law deals with the sore spot of agriculture, its haphazard production which creates vast surpluses of certain products and the absence of scientific marketing, which at all times is demoralizing to prices on the big farm staples, as wheat, cotton and corn. Farmers have made an approach to the adjustment of these undesir- able conditions, in the form of the cooperative activities, and the new law proposes utilizing the machinery so cre- ated to the construction of a vast cooperative control un- der which farmers can avoid growing demoralizing sur- Pluses, as of wheat, operate storage freed of financial vexations and market according to economic laws and conditions. ‘The law plans to do for the farmers what has been ac- complished in certain industrial products, as steel, by combination and cooperation and by operating in accord with commercial demands. The machinery of the new law is embodied in a board of nine members, eight to be appointed by the President and the ninth to be the secretary of agri- | least been put to fullest use here. | demeaned generic word for what has ccased to ring over culture. This board will have at its disposal a revolving fund of $500,000,000 to be used in an effort at solving the surplus crop situation through stabilization corpor- ations and commodity councils. If there is to be real A FALSE ALARM John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, is alarmed lest a “continuation of the tend- ency of the Republican party to centralize greater and ever greater powers in the federal government divide the United States into two or three republics by revolution.” That is good Democratic thunder, but the Democratic chairman is not so much worried over the future of the nation, perhaps, as over the future of the Democratic party and his own job. There is a strong suspicion that Mr. Raskob’s remarks were inspired by the recen’ “revolution” which split his party into two or three irreconcilable factions. He worries alone over the unity of the nation, but every rider of the Donkey shares his anxiety over the unity of the Democratic party. His charge against the Republican party is, however, without foundation, There is no more ardent proponent of state's rights and decentralization of government than President Hoover, and before him for seven years Calvin | Coolidge and administration Republicans opposed every move to strengthen the’national government by weaken- ing the power of the states. The Raskob fears are the fears of partisan prejudices. AMERICANESE A professor of English, discussing the etymology and use of the word “slogan,” confesses to a vague impres- sion that the current use of this word “for a catchword sufficiently stentorian to drown argument or criticism” is of American origin. If not of American origin, it has at It was, as a matter of fact, imported into England by no less an authority than Macaulay from Scotland, where it had been used by Sir Walter Scott with a meaning to which it had descended through a Lowland corruption of its original Gaelic significance. Up in the Highlands the slaugh-ghairm was merely the name of the clan chief shouted as a battle-cry, a “host- yell.” The couplet into which Scott caught the softened, the border between the Highlands and Lowlands was: To heaven the border slogan rang, St. Mary for the young Buccleuch. And it was from this' couplet, it is surmised, that Mac- cauley borrowed it for its approved use in English liter- ature. After all, isn't the American definition of the “vogue- word” the loftier, lifted as it is from the personal and clannish into the realm of principle? Yet slogans are dangerous at best. They often turn out to be lies in their gencralitics and more often intoxicate by their rhetoric. Sometimes they are the weapon of the con- scienceless, intellectual or political slugger, which doubt- less accounts for the early American imputation of a brutal origin. The shorter and uglier word for wounded vanity is “grouch.” This world is too small for golf to take the place of baseball. Golfers and woodpeckers are the only birds using their heads to get into the hole. Some boys seldom have a good time, and some risk their necks 40 times a day. Strange how suggestively wicked new dant a fellow gets toe old to learn ‘em. A lot of people would have lived to a ripe old age if they hadn't had the right of way. EY, ; Girl decoys used by government dry agents are being heard of more and more. The scheme is variously worked. In some sections the dry agent merely uses a pretty girl as a companion when he visits various night clubs where liquor is supposed to be sold. In other cases, the girls are trained to play the come-hither game and induce the buying of drinks. It will be witless for the anti pro- hibitionists to murmur that this evil seems about as great as the evil of old-time saloons themselves, or that there is one more example of the present debauchery of youth. The ar- dent prohibitionist is an even poorer listener to the other side than is the anti. eek ke “O GENTLE LADY!” Here's another tale of “the better sex.” Raymond Woodward, 21, tes- tifies that his mother offered him $50 Editorial Comment THE SAFER SUBMARINE (Minneapolis Journal) After the S-51 tragedy, the demand voiced by civilians that means be devised to make duty aboard submarines less hazardous in peace time, bfought from the navy re- jJoinders that rescue devices were impractical. So also after forty men perished in the disabled S-4, sunk off Provincetown, Massachusetts, in 1927, when rammed by a coast guard vessel, laymen wanted to know why the loss of the crew of the 8-51 had not led to de- vising of machinery for swifter salvage. Experts said sub- marines were vessels of war, and hence could not be cluttered up with attachments that might hamper their speed or their maneuvering ability. But, just the same, the navy finally did go to work on the problem, and with amazingly satisfactory results. A few months ago, in Florida waters, two or more different methods of taking men alive from a deeply submerged and helpless submarine proved successful. And now, down in Panama bay, it has been demonstrated that, with the proper machinery, a submarine with its crew aboard may be raised to the surface in short order. Naval officers themselves have been so impressed by Permanent success in achieving relief, it can be expected to result rather from the intelligence that will be put Anto the big industry by these stabilizing corporations and commodity councils. The use of money can be effective only as a salve of temporary effect. Dosage of that kind is bound to be mere quackery. It is to scientific and economic organization that farmers must look to gain the same results that manufacturing has been able to at- tain by the application of those ideas. The half billion fund at the disposal of the board will be effective only in Permitting big ventures in organizing. It is not improbable that the new law is but the be- ginning of a code of agricultural relief, that from time to time the need of additional legislative remedy will be found necessary or that modification of provisions of the relief act will be advisable to make it more workable. No change is going to be effected in agricultural depression by magic celerity either of the moment or a single sea- son. Rather must good be looked for only after the law jhas been broken in and by the evolutionary economic Processes that it will assist in developing. AIRPORTS LACKING At the end of a six weeks’ tour of American airports and airplane factories a Dutch authority on aeronautics gave it as his expert opinion that, in spite of our eight years’ handicap in civil aviation because of the war, we have far outstripped Europe in this transportation field as in all others. A marvel t6 this foreign visitor is the airmail system. He aptly strikes the difference between the American and European systems in the remark that “it is quicker tor ® European to send a letter by train than through the ." Neither can he understand why the European lines must be so heavily subsidized, when low rates make the demonstration that they say such disasters as befell the crews of the 8-51 and the 8-14 will be impossible in the future. That is good news. But, if the navy finds it is pos- sible now to protect submarine crews against slow death by suffocation while imprisoned on the ocean's floor, why could not the navy have found the same thing possible before two brave crews were lost? The experiments that have proved so successful in 1929 could have been carried tones with equal success before ever the crew of the MR. HOOVER FOR REDUCTION (New York Times) President Hoover appropriately chose Memdrial day for making his most explicit public utterance on the question of naval armament. The occasion of tenderly recalling those who gave up their lives for their country is also one for highly resolving to do everything in our power to prevent the need of such sacrifices in the future. Mr. Hoover is as far as possible from being an extreme Pacifist. He believes in adequate national defense. It was not necessary for him to discuss our army as part of it, for that military branch has been clipped to the limits of safety. But the question of naval strength, in and an automobile if he would kill his ow, stepfather.

Even bad mothers rarely, or | effect that all adults must be off the street by nine o'clock, or that no women may wear red on Sunday, and they are seldom enforced. While, strictly speaking, we do have discriminatory laws about men and women, one wonders if they are ever enforced; after all, a nation which sumes equality is more important than the strict letter of the law on the subject. ek * "NOTHER NAME It scems that it’s perfectly all right for Her Majesty, the Law, to obtain her evidence through trickery.

Not only does this very young lady hold her own bottle, but she reaches for it, too, grasps and tilts it into her mouth without getting any of her dinner into her eye or nose. “I've taught her that,” says her mother with pardonable pride. “Whenever I've brought her bottle to her I've waited for her to make pass- es at it, as she does at everything that comes into her line of vision. “Sooner or later her little hands would touch the bottle and her fin- gers automatically tighten over it.

The night of the 16th Prescott was sent to fortify Bunker Hill, the possession of which would compel evacuation of Boston by the British; but he threw up an earthwork on Breed’s Hill instead, and there awaited the British attack. At 3 p. m., June 17, the British charged up the hill, but were driven back with t loss. second charge also was repulsed.

If by the multilateral Kellogg treaty the nations are pledged to renounce war as an instrument of international policy, the next step is to pass from theory to practice.
