Considering the uncertain state of international rela- tions, 8 great many citizens will fcel more comfortable when our fleet is built up to treaty strength. But if we ere to do that, why should we not make straightforward appropriations of the money needed, in the customary fashion? Money for public works is sup- posed, primarily, to increase employ- ment. If naval construction is not an especially good way of attaining that goal, it might be wise to allot the money somewhere else. Relief Is Most Urgent ‘Whatever is ultimately done about the security program in Washington —whether we get an outright dole, a system of unemployment insurance, or something else—we should not kt ourselves forget that the problem is an exceedingly pressing one. For instance: Chicago police were obliged to take eight hungry children under their protection after they had found the children burning the furni- ture in their home to keep warm. The father, desperate over his fam- ily’s plight, had committed s theft and had been put in jail; the mother had died in a hospital from compll- cations over another expectant child- birth, Grant that the heads of this fam- ily mismanaged their affairs some- what—there still remains an unbear- ably tragic picture. Whatever form our relief program takes, it must at least make repetitions of such pitiful cases impossible. The Just Way to Pay Congressional leaders sppear to have made up thelr minds that new taxes cannot be avoided much longer. ‘Washington dispatches say that con- gress is beginning to agree that all expenditures above budget estimates will have to be matched with new revenues, and re-enactment of a number of “nuisance taxes” is ex- pected before the winter ends. A nation which 1s already groaning under @ heavy tax load can be expected to throw its hat air over this news, Nevertheless, is the only sensible attitude to ‘We are piling up our national at @ prodigious rate these days. cannot be helped, and there is ing to do but make the best But we are under the obligation pay as we go, as far as we possibly ee anit ge 3 2 re E i tional instability can be worse than intellectual instability. A man perfectly able to tell right from wrong can nevertheless be swept off his feet by an emotional storm he cannot control, A Los Angeles, youth awaits triai for beating his half-sister almost to death—for the amazing reason that if she were out of the way he would be allowed to buy a dog he wanted. He seems mentally normal; and his trouble, one would guess, is an emo- tional quirk which takes him entirely out of the class of normal folk, but which, nevertheless, may leave him perfectly “sane” by the rigid legal definition. Let Cabinet Speak Up Representative Byron B, Harlan of Ohio has introduced a bill which would require cabinet members to appear regularly on the floor of house and senate to answer questions about pending legislation. Such arrangement would draw us @ step closer to the English parlia- mentary system, under which cabinet members are closely involved in the legislative process. Tt is not clear, of course, that we should go all the way in copying the good points of this system, but to subject federal department heads to congressional quizzing at regular in- tervals might be an exceedingly wholesome reform. Under Representative Harlan’s plan, @ cabinet member would appear on the senate floor each Tuesday and on the house floor each Thursday. He would be entitled to participate in the debates, and he would be re- quired to answer such questions as members might put to him. As a means of keeping the legisla- tive branch in closer touch with the plans and actions of the executive, there ts much to recommend this pro- posal. Brakes on Horn-Tooter Several months ago English au- thorities made the experiment of out- lawing the use of automobile horns in the night time. The stunt has worked so well that they are now considering the advisability of pro- hibiting the use of such horns alto- gether, 24 hours a day. ‘The original idea was to permit tired citizens to get some sleep, un- disturbed by the racket of ill-advised horn-tooters. Now the authorities believe that the disuse of horns pro- motes more careful driving, on the theory that the man who knows he can't toot at all will use his brakes a whole lot sooner than he would other- wise. ‘The idea has possibilities, and it is ‘well worth a trial. It wouldn't be a bad stunt to get reckless motorists to rely on their brakes rather than on their horns, to keep from hitting People. And what such a law would do to the half-wit who leans on his horn- button as soon as a driver two blocks ‘ahead stalls his engine—well, it’s just ‘too lovely for words.

Sarcastic comment referring to’ the “Fly Club” at Harvard is heard in the New Deal camp. Exertion from the White House could have saved Roosevelt the single vote which defeat- ed him. It could have reassured A. F. of L. leaders—who were wavering—to the point where they would have lessened their successful insistence on the amendment. It could have so dramatized the huge work-relief measure that pas- sage would have been assured. At least, 50 say many of the president's friends. HUEY OUTGENERALS FOES That doesn’t shed any prettier light on the Senate leaders—Joe Robinson, Pat Harrison, and J immy Byrnes. They were sure they had the votes.
