New Youth Problem | The falling birth rate is apt to do a good, many things to America before it gets through. One of its unexpected by-products may be the emergence of a vast race of spoiled children. This quaint development is suggested by Prof. William F. Ogburn of the University of Chicago, in an article in the current issue of the magazine Better Times. Professor Ogburn figures it on a straight supply and demand basis. The supply of chil- By HERBERT PLUMMER Washington—Members of congress may have secretly applauded 72-year-old Representative McGroarty in calling @ constituent @ “jackass” and inviting him to “take two running jumps and go to hell,” but it is doubt- ful {f very many of them care to follow his example. The poet-representative from California, in disdain- ing “to butter” @ constituent who was angry because of McGroarty’s failure to have the Sierra Madre mountains reforested during his first two months in congress, is in a class pretty much by himself. He doesn't want to re- turn to congress. ‘The task of keeping constituents pleased—“keeping Political fences in a good state of repair” is the way con- gressmen describe it—is one of Washington's biggest businesses. ‘When an average of 500 letters a day wash into a senator's office and from 75 to 100 into that of a repre- sentative, the work involved is tremendous. eee VISITORS, TOO Then, there is the seemingly interminable list of callers. They seek everything from # pass to the gal- leries to a job. Members from nearby states suffer most. Three or four such senators have been compelled to set strict visiting hours and bar the doors the rest of the day. Some members of the house even go 80 far as to arrange hotel accommodations in Washington for pros- pective callers, others have regular sight-seeing tours arranged for their more influential “folks from home” and employ a young man or woman who knows his Washington to conduct such parties. Several of the representatives dispatch weekly news letters to newspapers in their district “on the state of the Union” but more particularly on what is being ac- complished for their districts by the efforts of the con- gressman. eee TEAS! Teas for visiting constituents is one of the latest wrinkles in the art of keeping political fences in good shape. Four or five representatives from a state will pool their resources, hire a hotel salon for a few hours in the afternoon and make a joint effair out of it. Washington is @ great convention city. When or- ganizations such as the Daughters of the American Revolution hold their annual conventions in the capital, usually the senior senator from home entertains the ladies of his state. The center of social fence-mending in Washington, however, is the state society. There are 40 such organi- zations which give regular entertainments where the dren will decrease—or, at any rate, will not in- crease at the old-time rate. The demand, in the sense of the love of parents for their chil- @ren, will remain just as high as it ever was, and will perhaps even increase. The result will be that the child will be ap- preciated more. As Professor Ogburn remarks: “It seems probable that the child will re- ceive more attention. With some groups that will be good for the child, no doubt. In many cases this out-of-the-ordinary attention may make the child too self-centered.” You can carry it still farther. Every par- ent knows that one of the most powerful tools in the molding of a child’s character is the be- stowal of praise and blame for the child’s acts. Where children are prized more highly, com- paratively, it is logical to expect that the scales will be unbalanced, the doses of blame will be diminished, and the amounts of praise in- creased, But Professor Ogburn isn’t through yet. He points out that when the proportion of chil- dren in the population is smaller, the average child will naturally associate with his elders more than is now the case. This will increase his precocity, but he will not get those subtle, toughening influences which come from constant association with youngsters of his own age. Tomorrow's child, then, seems destined to approach manhood and womanhood under some- thing of a handicap. And this rather gloomy forecast is just one more reminder that modern times seem constantly conspiring to place new responsibilities on the shoulders of parents. There was a time when the parent’s hard- est problem was to find some way to feed, clothe, and educate a constantly growing brood. Shrinkage in the family’s size is apparently going to replace that problem with a new one, equally difficult. Railroad Intelligence Announcement by the Northern Pacific railroad that even the day coaches on its North Coast Limited will he air-conditioned this summer and that special provi- sions will be made for the comfort of ordinary-fare pas- sengers indicates a step in the right direction. The difference between pullman and day coach accommoda- tions has been too marked for too long a time and there 4s no doubt that it has reduced railroad business. Many Persons who could not afford pullman rates have de- clined to travel by train because of the high cost of ‘With entirely new arrangements in day coaches, in- cluding lounging and dressing rooms for men and women similar to those in pullman cars, the railroads are mak- ing a bid for prosperity which is much more intelligent than their recent constant efforts to increase rates for ehind the Scenes Light Turned on Generals and Admirals’ Plan for Dicta- torship in War... Labor Board Knocks Out Flimsy Case Against Union ... Clamor Loud for Tighter Farm Curb, Price Tilts, ‘Washington, March 28.—When the war clouds scud around over Europe, everybody here begins to remember how we got into the last big war and to wonder whether we will have better luck next time. The War and Navy Departments have some ambiti- ous plans to turn this government into a military dicta- torship in event of war. These plans are embodied in seven bills which the generals and admirals drew up and Planned to rush through Congress when war actually came along. They mess up the Constitution more than any New Deal proposal to date. Military and naval men are terribly sore at Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri because he found out about the bills and insisted on introducing them in peacetime, when Congress could get a good look at them, without being stampeded into a possibly Hitleresque program which would be comfortable only to certain brass hats. Clark happens to have been a wartime colonel who was attached to the army general staff. But they couldn't stop him and the bills are now being considered by the Senate munitions committee, which will report out some ecg legislation, but doesn’t like the army-navy bill at all. One objection is that the bills appear to con- template either a mass attack on the United States, which few senators believe pos- sible—thanks Another is that at some future time they might sud- denly be dragged in, for purposes of Fascist rule, in the case of mere war with some weak, minor country which would be no national emergency at all. ; Use of child labor even might be necessary, according to the “Industrial Mobilization Plan” of which the bills are a part, The plan also speaks of diverting as many as possible of 10,000,000 employed women and girls over 16 “to muni- tions and essential civilian industries.” eee UNION SCORES ONE National Labor Relations Board, deciding against the W. F. Hall Printing Co. of Chicago in a collective bargaining case, ruled the follow- ing reasons given for discharging union men were not sufficient: “Edward Campbell, with the company six years, annoyed the company by being ‘too anxi- ous’ to work after he had been laid off and was seeking re-employment; John Pociecha, one year with the company, that he tried to ‘pick which paid the most’ and would ‘give him a bet- ter bonus’; Carl Zeitler, five years with the com- pany, that he used indecent language, as ‘Why the na and referred to fellow workmen as ‘punks.’” % CLAMOR FOR FARM CURB pope nf ha EL of farm org and further crop restrictions = aaa | Foy The German government has but one moral and national alm—to safe- oo the world’s peace. —Adolf Hit- jer. see Be gold-diggers, wives.
