Why Pick on Spain and Ignore Other Combatants? Ask Sideline Observers ... Steam Roller Worked in Grand Style in Shoving Through Emergency Resolution. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 15.—In ordinary times it would be almost impossible to pass a bill providing that all mem- bers of congress be painted with red ‘and green stripes and paraded down Pennsylvania Avenue in that cos- tume. But these are not ordinary times. All you need to do to insure victory for such a proposal is tag it “neu- trality legislation.” Never was there such a popular is- sue in the Capitol. It was s0 popu- lar that the senate voted 80 to 0 and the house 406 to 1 to embargo arms, ammunition, and implements of war to Spain, though members had no printed or mineographed copies of the bill before them, no committee had considered the measure, and many Plenty of Problems No sooner does the nation begin to find a solution for one '} problem than another makes its appearance. if Thus, while the unemployment problem still is unsolved, ' the difficulties of boom times are making themselves apparent. Proof comes from the National Industrial Conference Board which keeps track of wages, living costs and other factors af- fecting the national well-being. It finds that the cost of living | has risen 2.6 per cent during the last year and now is 20.1 per * cent above the low point of April, 1983, but only 14.2 per cent | below December, 1929. Percentages of increase, as compared with the low point, | follow: food 38.6 per cent; rents 80.5 per cent; clothing 22.1 per cent; coal 7.8 per cent lower than in 1929; sundries, including ‘everything from house-furnishings to candy, 5.7 per cent higher - | than in the spring of 1938 but only 3.6 per cent lower than in December, 1929. Companion statistics show that wages have risen more a rapidly than the cost of living, nevertheless these figures help to throw light on some of the current labor agitation. As prices rise people feel they must have more money, hence they be- come a fruitful field for agitation. It is a long time since America has heard the “high cost of living” cry as an issue. That comes only when things are expanding and when people are reaching forward actively to- . ward better ‘things. They have money but they feel it doesn’t _buyenough. ~ a We have not yet reached that stage—in fact may never “reach it—but if history repeats itself it is due to become a factor in our economic life within the next few years. t Se en ee: Interstate Compacts Mb Meeting at Washington from January 21 to 24, the Council » of State Governments will explore the possibilities of lessening i the effects of drouth by interstate agreements which will sup- ; Plement the separate activities of the state and federal gov- '; ernments. This is a relatively new field but one in which some experi- ence is available, since the oil-producing states of Colorado, _}# Kansas, Illinois, New Mexico, Oklahoma and. Texas have been operating under such an agreement for the last two years and assert it has done much to stabilize the oil industry. Other states have tried to apply the idea to their economic ‘problems without signal success, however. Chief among these sare the 15 states in which tobacco is a major crop. Upon ‘invalidation of the AAA they sought to negotiate an agree- 10 do so. Their idea was to prohibit interstate shipment in “excess of the quantity permitted each state under the terms of 1) the compact. Now there is a possibility that they may seek }/ national legislation looking toward encouragement of the pro- é { posal. It is one of the remedies which is being tried to maintain ig { the political integrity of the various states, limit the expansion | of the federal government and, at the same time, achieve eco- \ “nomic stability. On this basis the experiment should be watched with inter- est. It appears to be the only substitute for strong national || control which the states can offer. 4 Learning from Experience More roughage for livestock is available in the United States now than was true at the same time in 1935 after the t ment to-maintain prices by limiting production, but were unable |; members voted aye while holding their noses. The administration’s steam-roller tactics, Roosevelt's eagerness to make a witch-hunting grandstand play to American peace-lovers over export of an admitted pile of aerial junk by one Mr. Cuse, the alacrity with which congress jumped through the hoop at the magic word and the actual source of this piece of legislation—all these factors combine to make it seem in- creasingly likely that the permanent neutrality legislation promjsed for this session will be by no means the McCoy, insofar as it pretends to guarantee keeping us out of war. * * * Flouts World Law .The immediate practical effect of the law is to bust contracts between American citizens and the duly con- atituted Spanish government, with which this country theoretically has friendly relations. That reverses precepts of interna- tional law, yet it unquestionably will be satisfactory to the overwhelming mass of American citizens who want no part of the Spanish mess. But the question why the law wasn’t written to apply to German, Russia, Italy, France, Portugal—na- tions in the Spanish war up to the neck—and other countries which may or may not be pouring arms into Spain presumably is best known to manufacturers of munitions, who are doing a thriving export business. Sales of planes and parts to Ger-|' many for the first six months of 1934, the last reported period, were $1,445,000—and then on the increase. Hardly any of the members who voted for the bill knew where it came from, so they might as well be told. The measure was concocted in the state department, where the dominating clique is largely pro- Fascist. * * * Picks on Spain Only Instead of making the existing neutrality act applicable to all civil wars, the new law merely picks on Spain. The president remains free to permit shipments to any other nation where there may be a civil war, regardless of whether those who benefit most therefrom are govern- ment forces or rebels, Fascists or Comminists, Laplanders or Seneg- ambians. Also, American interests may still export oil, copper and similar ma- terlals of war to Spain or anywhere else. These materials can be just as useful to a belligerent nation engag- ed in murdering persons as actual ammunition, sometimes more so. And the traffic would be just as likely to get us into war. The state department opposed embargo on oil to Italy during the Ethiopian war on the ground that this would have been an unfriendly act toward Italy— Ethiopia being inaccessible to our oil. * * * Too Much Steam Roller The leading advocates in congress of real neutrality—Senators Bennett Clark of Missouri, Gerald Nye of North Dakota, and Arthur Vanden- berg of Michigan, and Representative Maury Maverick of Texas and sev- eral of the Progressives and Farmer- Laborites from Wisconsin and Minne- sota, respectively—joined in urging general legislation which would ap- ply to all nations and thus cover all those now: unofficially at war in Spain. r previous drouth year of 1984, according to a report by the fed- eral Livestock Feed Agency at Kansas City, set up by the gov- “ernment to aid farmers in the drouth district. Comparable figures are 80,027 carlots listed on Jan. 5 as compared with 62,707 carlots on the same date in 1935. Of the total amount now available, 18,912 carlots are listed i} by men in the drouth states as compared with 6,728 in the winter i _after the previous drouth year. 4 Much of this material is straw-and fodder and it is neces- sary to feed molasses with it to obtain the best results. It also is being supplemented in many areas by grain and concentrates. The figures are proof that-man does learn by experience. ‘There was a time when no North Dakotan ever thought of straw 2s feed for his livestock. Great stacks of it were burned every fall. Now the farmer has come to realize that he doesn’t need the land on which the strawstack stands half as much as he may pera the straw when feed supplies become short. Thought for Pedestrians _In the mind of an ordinary person, as he reads of pedes- 4rians being run down by automobiles, is the unspoken thought, “That can’t happen to me—I’m too careful.” Such people will do well to read the story of Ernest Cour- celles of Detroit. There probably was not a more cautious man in the state of Michigan than Mr. Courcelles. He never bought “an automobile, never rode in one, and never crossed a street without first carefully looking both ways. It was not altogether fear of pain that prompted such extreme caution; it was the knowledge that even a scratch might cause his death. For Courcelles was a victim of hemo- the condition which makes bleeding from a trivial wound almost impossible to stop. Despite all his care, however, Mr. Courcelles was hit by an That even the test of care could not ward off such a death should be a ‘auto the other day, and died within an hour. mn thought for pedestrians in general. But the steam roller ran right over them and even the insurgents didn’t care or dare to vote against it. The same group will be watching for the White House-state depart- ment permanent neutrality proposal —like so many hawks. But the ob- vious likelihood is that whatever is Proposed will go through. The state department crowd has never indicated'a desire for ‘“neu- trality” legislation which would do much more than allow it a chance to play favorites in the international chess game.

If Betty were still alive—and Bob would not let himself believe she was not—he must get help from Santa Fe at once. With official permission to search the house, he was sure he could find her. Carefully he skirted a boulder that rose on one side of the trail and waited a moment in its shel- ter to take stock of his location. Was that sound from behind only the steady whine of the wind? Bob decided his imagination was getting the better of him, and started on, his thoughts once more on the strange household he had left behind. There was the thin-faced arche- ologist, still lying in a coma. How did they know that he was what he said? What if the professor were only pretending could not speak or move?

They hurried on until ap- parently they came to the house itself. Then Bob felt himself being carried down a flight of stairs. After a few moments he was laid on a floor and heard de Forest talking in low tones. Bob gritted his teeth, waiting to see what would happen next. He did not have to wait long. Retreating footsteps told him that the two men who had carried him were departing, and now he had the sensation that someone was leaning over him, for a blur of light came through the thickness of the blanket.
