Hope Springs Eternal That hope springs eternal in the human; breast is well proved by the manner in which the world focuses its gaze upon Geneva, where the League of Nations is attempting to “adjust” the Italo-Ethiopian situation. The fact that the League has managed to stop none of the numerous small and unofficial wars which have occurred on the globe since its. inception only emphasizes the seriousness of the test which it now is facing. Germany and Japan long since have left the fold and it now is obvious that, no matter what the League de- cides, Italy will pursue the course she has marked out for herself. The reason for this lies in the real motive behind the organization of the League. It is the victim of a deadly handicap. After every war the victors have sought some means of perpetuating to themselves the fruits of their victory. They have attempted to set up a system for maintaining the status quo which prevailed after the close of hostili- ties. The fact that the terms of peace treaties, imposed in the heat of anger after a universal blood letting, frequently contain inequities and injustices never has worried the victors. It was so after the last war. The real winners at the treaty table in 1919 were France and England. They divided Ger- many’s colonial possessions largely between them. Japan and Italy, which sought an oppor- tunity for expansion, were denied a share of the spoils and Germany was shorn of many of her rights as a nation. As a result, it is the British and the French who have shown the most in- terest in the League, been its main support. First Japan, then Germany left the League because it was in fundamental conflict with national aims. That those aims make small appeal to the rest of the world is beside the Point. No nation, feeling the need for expan- sion and a lust for power, has ever been squeamish about the methods chosen to obtain its ends. That is why Italy, despite its role of inter- national Peck’s Bad Boy, now thumbs its nose at the world’s statesmen, informs them that they may deliberate all they choose but her Policy is fixed. She, too, was a technical victor in the World war but she got few of the spoils. A small part of barren North Africa fell to her but that was all. Her natural resources were not increased by the addition of fertile virgin land. Now she is out to get what she feels is necessary to her continued growth and national existence. Her attitude of desiring to free Ethiopia from bar-| barism is one for world consumption only—if the world is foolish enough to swallow it, | Had the peace treaty granted her some of the African territory gobbled up by France and| England she would not now be knocking on the door of Haile Selassie’s empire. Interesting Sidelight What conflicting views are held of the Italo-Ethio- Piéen situation are illustrated by the fact that a leading American magazine remarks that part of Britain's ap-| Parent desire to stop the threatened hostilities may lie in its fear that Italy may not win—or at least may not win easily. The British have had long experience in subduing sgvage races and in ruling them after they have been conquered. In this connection it is suggested that they now are ruling large parts of Africa by threat alone, one white numbers of blecks.

Some are allowed time off in which to be ill and others aren't. To many, a violent toothache and a dash to the den- tist means loss of a half day’s pay. The fact that most government workers have their homes in states more or less remote and want to retain their residences there is the chief argument for the 30-day leave, which was abolished by Roosevelt's now tattered and torn economy act. A famous spoilsman, McKellar believes in doing something like that about once a year. Last session he tacked on the famous “rider” which forced 1,100 treas- ury employes—among whom he thought were too mai Republicans—to go three months without pay, threaten- ing liquor law enforcement with demoralization. On the same day that he refused unanimous consent for the leave bills, McKellar, presumably in exuberance over winning the hatred of a few hundred thousand federal employes, took a few wild swings at Bob Horton, one of our capital's ablest and most popular newspaper correspondents, eee A CHARMER IS “ROBBIE” Bernard B. Robinson (the “Robbie” who lobbied for Associated Gas & Electric and became hero of “social lobby day” before the Black committee) is one of those romantic-looking, personally popular, youthful figures who occasionally show up here for awhile (usually lobby- ing) and then pass on after a visit made successful chief- ly by personality plus. Wavy brown hair, blue eyes, slender figure, sen- sitive lips, disarming Irish smile, whimsical manner, smoke through the nose, fancy wrist watch, white silk suit and blue tie against a white shirt, an exquisite taste in liquor (which he bought in $500 lots)—all those things and others went to make “Robbie” an attractive lobbyist indeed, “I've met a thousand people in Washington,” he said, and you knew he had—mostly socially. More impressive than “Robbie” himself was the glimpse he gave of what insiders here call “the inter- locking lobby,” which is something like what you mean by “interlocking directorates.” eee ALL-AROUND MAN “Robbie” himself, a wholesale dealer in securities— mostly A. G. E.—didn’t confine his lobbying to the hold- ing company bill. He was attending to little matters at the Securities Exchange commission, visiting RFC on behalf of Utility Power & Light, trying to see Sena- tor Frazier about rye (the grain, in which he was spec- ulating), checking up on AAA plans as to wheat, and goodness knows what else. Being a Montana boy, he made his first calls on Senator Murray and Representative Monahan. Engaged BIG HIT, LITTLE COST Senator Bob La Follette, Wisconsin Progres- sive, created a minor sensation on the last day of the session by appearing in white flannels, sport shoes, and a double-breasted blue sport coat with white pearl buttons, “Hey, Bob,” somebody yelled, “where’s your yacht?” “Look here.” replied the young senator. “This is a five-year-old coat and 50 cents worth of but- tons!” to the daughter of J. Bruce Kremer of Montana, one of the most successful and widely operating lobbyists here, he had a swell social entree. He gave his now famous party at the 1925 F street club with the help of Evelyn Walker, beautiful blond fiancee of Assistant Treasury Secretary Chip Robert, who hasn't many responsibilities now, partly because Secretary Ickes and others thought he was too friendly with power company lobbyists. Last time I saw Miss Walker (who is a society girl, not a lobbyist) she was chatting with Lobbyist Max Gardner of the rayon interests and Jim Farley. ee . HIGH UP IN SOCIETY One of Robinson's best friends and agents here was Bob Smith, who helped introduce him to congress- men. Bob is a lawyer and man-about-town who has desk space with and occasionally does jobs for Alvord & Alvord, tax lawyers—Ellsworth Alvord being a former high treasury official who now represents millionaire estates before the treasury. Last time I'd seen Bob he was working for some munitions interests due for senate investigation. And the time before that was at a treasury lawyer’s party where he had escorted the daughter of a millionaire lobbyist whom perhaps I shouldn’t name. And perhaps you heard “Robbie” tell how he, who had entertained Emil Hurja, Marvin McIntyre, Robert, Democratic Committeeman Amon Carter of Texas, and other officials, had himself been entertained by Will Hays, and the president of U. 8. Steel. (“Was I lobby- ing then?” he demanded. “I don’t know,” replied Sen- ator Gibson.) The Washington lobbyists not only interlock with one another. They interlock with politics and society until often you can’t tell the three great capital rackets apart. (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) [ With Other | Errors Reprinted to show what they say. We may or may not agree with them, Still Forgotten (New York Times) Many have been called, but some are still forgotten. Among those who have not shared in the New Deal are the small up-state farmers who produce milk for cash and endeavor to raise everything else they need. State and federal bulletineers have discovered, quite imperson- ally, that they are farming sub-marginal land, and advise them to move away. But the fact remains that what little they have is invested in their acres; all their home ties are centered in the community where they have always lived, and just how they are to drop sub-marginal farms today and acquire fertile land tomorrow is harder to solve than writing a government pemphlet. The up-state farmer, having feeble political influence, teads. of the pity the government feels for the southern and western farmer, watches the increasing cost of grain cancel the profit he might have made on milk and won- ders what the country is coming to. The storekeepers will tell you that there is léss cash in town this year than ever. The small eastern farmer is by experience a realist about money. He has never yet got anything that he did not have to pay for. According to his way of thinking, the New Deal is hardest on self-reliant people who have always had a sense of responsibility. The sort of farming he does is based on self-reliance. Going on relief is entirely con- trary Aina bee anf he is inclined to look upen any o} class who apply for government relief as petty Tacketeérs. Neighbors who are in trouble he expects to ae as @ matter of human decency; he always has; that is the local tradition. But his experience has convinced him that most of the people in his community who require relief now were glways lacking in ambit reliance. The depression has blighted eastern rural com- munities, but it has not increased unemployment to the extent that it has in the industrial centers. The amall farmer may be deep in debt or bankrupt, but he is never unemployed. Nor is he likely to be homeless, although his house is Probably in bad repair. He can generally provide him- self with shelter, fuel and food by virtue of his own labor and barter. But it is increasingly difficult for him to find the small sums of cash he needs to pay land and school taxes, gasoline taxes and automobile license fees, or buy food staples and newspapers with rural rejoicing in the south and west. rich, but now he is reduced to penury, ever hears about the number of hours will be declared unconstitutional. tenders for the distinction of being the most unpopular But Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee has ment employes dnd is always telling you why the law won't let you do this or that, is in the running any more. days’ sick leave for federal employes. Government clerks = at the NATION'S CAPITOL By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, the Associated. Press, Washington The unanimous disposition in po- litical circles is to regard the contest for next year’s Republican presiden-' tial nomination as wholly unsettled, although some currents of party opin- jon recently have clarified the situa- tion to a limited degree. It is apparent, for instance, that the old feud between the right and left wings of Republicanism is reviv- ing. That alone is important because it has @ direct bearing on any cal- culation as to 1936 candidacies, The causes for the revival are sev- eral. One is the intensive activity of the conservative leaders, who are organizing on a wide front to insure an out-and-out party avoidance of ‘any concession to radicalism. ‘Nat- urally there is a reaction among the left-wingers.

Considering the two sections of the Party separately, for the moment, it is quite apparent that so far as the conservatives are concerned, they are sure to try to capture the nomina- tion. Many of the conservative leaders feel strongly, however, that if the platform is to appeal especially to the east, the nominee must be some- one residing in the west or mid-west.
