Nye, has become almost an international fig- ‘ure because of his theories about war and his pronouncements relative to the elimination of profits from war. But will the elimination of profit from war end war? Students of history and of the mechanics of war will hardly agree to such a simple solution. It is not as easy as all that. } It would seem that Senator Nye is more con- cerned over taking the profit out of war than in the prevention of war. There is something so demagogic in most of the denouncements of preparedness for war that | it appeals to the politicians. Senator Nye has found in this instance that it is far better po- i litical strategy to treat the symptoms rather than the disease. No legislative body, not even one as “august” as the United States senate, has ever been able to legislate peace. Limiting war profits to three per cent will never prevent a war, if the ignorance, the passion or the jeal- ousy of nations and their people are once aroused. These are the motives of war, not « profits alone. Senator Nye'is indulging in a lot of silly tub thumping which secures for him some wonder- ful speaking dates and takes his mind and time away from the more arduous demands of his own constituents, The next war is so remote as to give our junior senator something safe to shoot at. His * supporters and friends at home, however, would like to get his ear for a moment on matters of a more vital nature to them than the profits of the du Ponts, the Krupps and Vickers, Ltd. As long as European diplomacy is what it is | and international politics rest upon hate and |} distrust there will be wars and rumors of war. | Senator Nye can keep busy fighting the Four Horsemen of want, hunger, distress and despair which ride his own state as well as the 47 others. These destroyers are as greedy, as i hungry and as ruthless as the munitions |} makers. When it comes to regulating profits in the next war, the farmers of North Dakota may / find that the proposed three per cent limit set j for war profits is hardly enough to keep the big - bad wolf away from their doors. The Saturday Evening Post, in a most sensi- ble editorial, reaches this sane conclusion: “Peace is to be had by no easy short- cuts or congressional enactments. It comes only from constant, unremitting vigilance exercised through the years, which, though absolutely essential, is not dramatic.” Some of Senator Nye’s constituents, trying for months to get his ear on matters of press- ing importance to them, hope that he will drop the munition racket long enough to run a few errands for them which, after all, is one of the major duties of a successful representative at Washington, undramatic as such jobs may be. That Canadian Riot Headlines telling of a riot in St, Johns, Newfound- + land, may surprise a great many persons who look upon the British and their Canadian brothers as a staid and law-abiding people. ‘We have been regaled with statistics about British Jaw enforcement and law observance so often that such news offers a natural surprise. The fact is that we need not be, for the British, on their native heath, can be as demonstrative as any other race. ‘Their political meetings, for example, are commonly gttended by demonstrations such as would draw wide Words by any extensive heckling of a candidate for presi- Gent, but when the English prime minister takes to the thustings he must be prepared to take as well as give. fellow.

They ehind the Scenes in Washington WITH RODNEY DUTCHER Work-Relief Chieftains Face Messy Job ... With Walk- er’s Task Toughest of All... Couzens’ Inquiry Stirs Up CWA Scandals Again . . . Norris Scores One on Power Trust. wi , May 15.—For a bunch of fellows who have six or seven billion dollars to spend, the numerous bosses of the huge work-relief program are a surprisingly worried lot. Most of them are still foggy about it all. They're sparring with a pack of problems which could be reeled off here for a half a column if anyone wanted to be lugu- brious about it. (This is too nice a day.) The problems resolve themselves into the question: “Will it work—and how?” Insiders suspect that current administration inten- tions of putting 4,000,000 folks at work by August are as over-optimistic as General Johnson's belief that NRA would re-employ 6,000,000 almost immediately, and Ad- ministrator James Moffett’s suggestion that the federal housing act meant jobs for 5,000,000. The only way it can be done is by CWA methods, which means primarily an effort to put relief recipients on payrolls rather than at work. Probability that the tremendous job will be messy in its application, however, doesn’t mean that money won't be spent in huge gobs or that Roosevelt's hope of some real stimulation for private business won't be real- ized. Even though some administrators lose their minds —or reputations—in the process. see GHASTLY JOB FOR WALKER Everybody hopes that other of the program's phases will work out better than the effort to make Frank Walker a “fall guy” who would keep a pork-hungry na- tion off the necks of officials busy with actual operation of the scheme. The idea was that Walker, whose devotion to Roose- velt leads him to accept jobs of a thankless and horrible nature, would, as head of the division of applications and information, receive all project requests and handl¢ the horde of congressmen, governors, mayors, and other lobbyists. Although Walker was to refer the projects to the approximately 60 federal agencies, divisions, and sections destined to do the actual spending, that mob would be kept from interfering with Hopkins, Ickes, Tugwell and the many other busy bosses of the actual work-relief job. Already, just between us girls, the plan has bogged down. The lobbyists saw through the plan once. They don’t mind leaving their formal applications with Walker, but the same after- noon they're around at the backdoor—high- pressuring the agency which would actually su- perintend the project. Walker's chief job will be to straighten out snarls and 00-ordinate. And what a Job that one is going to be! oe X-RAY ON CWA MESS ‘You can expect some sensations out of Senator Jim Couzens’ investigation of relief expenditures, For one thing, they probably will shed mere light on the CWA scandals. As CWA drew te a close, you may recall, able Administrator Harry Hopkins was throwing up his hands in Prem at evidence of politics and graft. Later, however, the FERA publicity staff got busy pushing the story that there had been amazingly little of either. But Couzens has quietly called on FERA for the re- ports of last year’s investigations by PWA Chief Investi- gator Louls Glavis and his sleuths. There are’ cases of padded payrolls and other shenanigans which have never been prosecuted and Couzens wants to know why. ar) NORRIS SCORES ON TRUST Senator George Norris of Nebraska slipped a resolu- tion through the senate the other day when no one was looking. But his old foes, the “power trust” lobbyists, are now looking at it—hard. The federal power commission is asked to check on every municipal and federal power plant in the country to learn the nature and cost of litigation brought against them by private power interests. Norris expects to show that hardly a public power plant has ever been built except in the face of injunctions which caused expense and de- Isy. Sometimes the litigation has taken years and frequently small towns have been unable to stand the expense. Norris points out that suits by private interests are now costing TVA millions of dollars and he hopes to get through some legislation against “government by injunc- tion.” (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) With Other DITORS Mr. Douglas on the Budget (New York Herald-Tribune) ‘There are persons, doubtless, who find themselves in disagrement with Lewis W. Douglas,on his views con- cerning the national budget. There will be few, however, to deny the assertion that technically and politically he is probably better qualified to discuss this important cue than any other individual in the United States y. Mr. Dougias, in his appeal before the National Eco- nomic Club last week for a balanced budget, sharply om lenged two of the principal these’ promulgated by the New Deal “spenders.” One of these is the belief that by the process of “priming the pump” with huge govern- ment expenditures a sufficient degree of prosperity can be generated to balance federal income with outgo, even peste ooh siriteagt ade fer gehyg es The cee Se easy assumption prevailing at Washington that becat Fe povniry: is ets pelnae: erosion 16,8 Fes “inflat: Taking up the first of these two points, the former Reprinted to show what they say.

More important than this purely mathe- matical problem, he warned however, is the and government bureaucracies under a such wholesale spending.

Very quietly, Missouri friends of Roscoe C. Patterson are making a campaign for his nomination for president by the Republicans next year. Some claim he already is as- sured votes enough to make him a real factor in the convention. Patterson was defeated for re-elec- tion to the senate in 1934. He has a long record of party service, but there has been no widespread public men- tion of him for the presidency. What. has been done in that direction rep- resents one of the most noiseless delegate hunts ever conducted. In various quarters there is talk of Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the] University of Wisconsin, for Repub- lican 1936 standard-bearer. He seems to have no organization as yet. He is put forward as a liberal (but less liberal than the La Follettes) who has a flair for phrase-making, an exceptional abilify as a speker, and & considerable knowledge of political affairs, but no record of partisanship, to handicap him. xe 8 Hoover Possibilities One astute Republican old-timer thinks that if the convention were held tomorrow, on the basis of pledges or near-pledges already given more than a year in advance, more than 20 candidates would be assured of greater or lesser blocs of votes. In various well-informed quarters there is a definite belief that the nominee is most likely to come from the midwest or west. In spite of all the talk, friends of Herbert Hoover Incidentally, various local leaders in several states are pledging their efforts to Mr. Hoover himself. He scarcely is likely to disavow this fol- == | who should know, do not expect him to throw his support to Ogden Mills OLITICS |/*si2s8e “ae iy a g| lowing at the present stage. What he does eventually is another matter. To those on the inside of Repub- lican affairs it would cause no sur- prise if the former president threw his support definitely to one of the leading candidates at the psycholog- ical moment, some months hence. A good many candidates—particu- larly a half-dozen or more midwest- erners—will be fishing secretly for that support. It should be remem- bered that those who control the par- ty machinery in many sectioris, and especially in the south, are men pick- ed by Hoover. Some figure he might be able to control and deliver, beyond question, @ good many scores @f delegates. * * * Five Years Ahead Some of those in the field for the 1936 nomination do not expect or especially desire, to be nominated. They are just getting in trim for 1940—getting an organization under ‘way, and stepping out where they can be seen and remembered. It is surprising how many Repub- lican ‘politicians are looking that far ahead, and how many stories it has given rise to. One especially interesting report come from Indiana. There is talk of asking Will Hays to quit his job as movie czar, and run for governor next year. A four-year term in the gov- ernor’s chair would just be ending when the party started considering in earest its 1940 presidential situa- tion, > ‘There are friends of Agriculture Secretary Henry Wallace, a pre-New Deal Republican, who whisper that he would make splendid presidential tim- ber in 1940, on any ticket. So it goes. From every direction. Unquestionably the Republican party is beginning to sit up and takg notice, whatever may come of it. ‘“ e | - Trish s HORIZONTAL 1Symbolic Irish [p} plant.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Baby Sucks Clothes How to stop ten months old baby from sucking the bedclothes . . (Mrs, L. R. W.) Answer—Dip edges of clothes in a decoction made by steeping some quassia chips in a quart of water. Let dry. This imparts a very bitter taste, which is harmless. A few ounces of the same decoction given as an in- jection after a simple soap and water enema is a good remedy for pin- worms, Substitutes Effects of use of oleomargaripe in place of butter and crisco in place of lard. (B. F. B.) Answer—No objection to use of such substitutes provided the diet in- cludes at least a pint of fresh milk daily.
