Stability Leads to Peace A sensible approach to the problem of world {peace is produced by Secretary of State Hull in his recent warning that the nations must unite fn an economic program to restore economic stability before the threat of war can be averted. We do not often stop to remember that back of almost every war scare there is some profound maladjustment which exerts an un- endurable pressure on a people or a group of Peoples, Our disarmament and security confer- ences almost uniformly ignore that fact, and for that reason get nowhere. Secretary Hull’s notion is that, if the tangled economic situation can be unscrambled first, the attempt to build an enduring peace will be a great deal simpler. “The necessity was never more apparent,” he says, “for the various countries of the world to give immediate attention to the matter of adopting a sound and comprehensive economic program, both domestic and international, and carrying it forward, to the end that the normal processes of domestic and international finance and commerce may be restored and tens of millions of unemployed wage earners may be re-employed. “This would afford a solid foundation on tures.” Too often we seem to take it for granted that this or that nation adopts a warlike course out of pure human cussedness. We have been very vocal in condemning dapan’s course in Manchuria and China, for in- stance, and we have blamed it largely on the militarism of an army and navy clique which has managed to take control of the government. What we forget is the simple fact that Japan has faced the prospect of a trade depres- sion and a wave of unemployment far more severe than the one through which we have been passing. The Japanese people became convinced that only by gaining access to fresh territories that would provide expanding markets, and new sources of raw material could they avert eco- nomic disaster. That is what explains Japan’s warlike course {fn recent years; and something similar is be- hind almost every resurgence of the martial ppirit, Back of the armies and the navies there are economic inequalities that drive nations to the Wwerge of desperation. This being true, is there not a good deal of bense in Secretary Hull’s suggestion? If the nations of the world devoted to the job of re- gaining international economic stability one- settle the instability by force of arms, they ing out an equitable solution. Career Men in Politics Gov. Harold G. Hoffman of New Jersey, in an ad- Gress in Ohio, calls for more “career men” in politics to end the prevailing distrust of political management. “We have failed,” he says, “to develop a public istrator.” ‘There is a good deal of logic in this demand. It looks very much as if we were entering an era in which government would progressively become more active in- stead of less, and exercise more and more control over which touch the iives of all of us most intimately. such program can succeed unless public servants very high type.

Clark One Senator Who Thinks of His Constituents, Tarns Down Junket, eee Washington, April 18.—The stupidest line of the month seems to be one produced by the AAA in a defense of food costs, referring to the fact that about 20 million people are on relief. As to them, the AAA says officially: “The price level, the cost of living, whether high or low is to them a matter of little consequence, because co have no purchasing power except that provided by relief.” AAA economists and publicity agents produced that one without consultation with any family which buys food and other necessities on $5 or $10 weekly relief. It is also doubtful whether the 3,500,000 who are to aver- ‘age $12.50 a week on work-relief will consider the cost of living a matter of little consequence. Since AAA purged itself of a large part of its consci- ence—through removal of Jerome Frank, Fred Howe, and others who had fought the battles of the consumer within its ranks—it has been noticeably on the defen- oO penanires by housewives, greedy ‘angry housewives, and farm leaders and self-seeking politi eee » it has cians, sought to apply rosy-hued coloring to itself in the hope of placating the public. It still isn’t as dishonest in misrepresenting facts as are some other government agencies. DRESSING A LA HUEY ‘Huey Long’s recipe for salad 4 One pound of Roquefort cheese. Juice of one lemon.

Secretly, AAA officials wish they hadn't carried hog program quite so far, but they don’t like to admit it. AAA's position would be easier if it felt stress the fact that the administration's effort to purchasing power among the unemployed had not anywhere near as successful as the effort to boost farm purchasing power. ecegee FIXING IS BARED Meanwhile, it hasn't been made any more comfort- |. able by the Federal Trade Commission's revelation that dairy co-operatives have been making agreements with interests AAA sought to placate by the “purge” are now furiously lobbying against the badly needed AAA amend- ments on Capitol Hill. ie A GASP FOR CONGRESS A senator has been found who refuses to take a Pleasant junket to the balmy Caribbean and its palm- decked coral strands, etc., until congress gets through with its regular work. This astounding performance is that of Senator Bennett Champ Clark of Missouri, a member of the committee to investigate conditions in the Virgin Islands, which Senator Tydings of Maryland, its chairman, wants take down to the islands in May. Clark says he can’t afford to walk out on his con- stituents, no matter how seductive the breezes down there, and will resign rather than make the trip. His position puts other members of the committee— King of Utah, White of Maine, and Metcalf of Rhode land—on the spot. They're undecided and Tydings eventually may have to go alone—or postpone the jour- ney. Tydings returned from a junket to the Philippines early in February, a month after the session began. But it’s easy to explain his constant yen to leave Capitol Hill and get off to an island somewhere. Wash- ington is surrounded on three sides by the state of Maryland and his office is a mere walk for his job-seek- constituents, (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.)

Garner so characterized the vice presidency when he took it over at the beginning of the present admin- istration. There are few observers in Wash- ington, however, after watching the activity of the ruddy-faced Texan for ithe last two years, who will agree that Garner is a “spare tire.” Certainly his announcement to the senate that in the future he expects to “exercise some discretion in the matter of se- lecting conferees when the senate authorizes him to make the appoint- ments” belies such a title. He is the first vice president to discover that the rules of the senate empower him to do more than the duty imposed upon his office by the constitution—preside over sessions of the senate and vote in cases of a tie. see Knows Parliamentary Law Insiders credit the conference dead- lock on the work-relief bill for Gar- ner’s move. Four out of the five sen- ate conferees on this measure were opposed to the bill. It was to prevent ® possible recurrence of this sort of thing, they say, which prompted Gar- ner to announce the course he in- tended to pursue in the future. It strikes deeper than that, how- lever. For more than 30 years Garner has been a student of the rules of both house and senate. In that time he has become a parliamentarian of rec- ognized authority and a keen analyst of inter and intra party political sit- uations. ‘The result was that he discovered in the senate leadership authority for Participation in legislation “Cactus Jack” went to the ‘vice presidency from the speakership, where he had in one session of con- liamentary and political experience into play. As Speaker, Garner wield- ed more power than any man to that position since “Uncle Joe” - non prior to his fall in 1909, As & » he was the actual if not the titular Democratic leader. Then came his shift to the other side of the capitol where he found himself merely a parliamentarian, de- prived of a share in both debate and strategy. It was an unusually dis- tasteful position for a man like Gar- ner. However, since March 4, 1933, he has silently, almost invisibly worked does not know definitely, that he is @ more influential adviser at the White House on congressional strat- egy than any of the other adminis- tration leaders on capitol hill. wy The only disparity between Italy and Abyssinia is in the air.
