An Indirect Slap In his London speech on July 4 Ambassador Bingham said little more—if, indeed, as much—as President Roosevelt has said on several occasions. In his messages to congress, par- ticularly, the president has made references to the Dictator- controlled nations which certainly were stronger than anything Bingham said. Yet Germany, though refraining from comment on Roo- sevelt’s utterances, lashes itself into a furore about Bingham’s remarks, The reason is clear enough. Since Roosevelt is the head of the American government they hardly DARE to castigate him, even though they do not like what he says. But Bingham, not being the head of the American state, tan be criticized as the Germans wish. At the same time they can take an indirect slap at Roosevelt and any others who may have said the same things. Americans generally, however, should view the attack on Bingham with equanimity. They should remember that un- less a shoe pinches its wearer never complains. In The Guise of A Man Albert Dyer, accused of ravishing and murdering three lit- tle California girls, probably is on his way to the gallows. At Jeast California officials think so. That, probably, is a just punishment for as revolting a crime as the mind can imagine, yet it is not enough. IF ALBERT DYER GIVES UP HIS LIFE AT THE END OF A ROPE THE FACT WILL BE NO ASSURANCE TO SO- CIETY THAT SUCH CRIMES WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. The crime was that of a man made insane by lustful pas- sions, or at least unable to control them. The probability is that he received little training in self-control when a child, hence was unable to resist the urges which impelled him when he came to manhood. Every normal person has experienced “urges” but the vast majority-have learned to control them. Dyef, ap- parently, did not and hence was merely an animal, walking the earth in the guise and habiliments of a man. Cigar Box Dividends There is a good chuckle in the story of the Chattanooga storekeeper who put up an empty cigar box in his store under @ sign reading: “Police got my slot machine; please put your money here.” ‘The chuckle comes from the fact that his patrons took him at THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY istration’s left wing is bruised and sore since Roosevelt cracked it with his “plague on both your houses,” in referring to extremists of industry and labor. sd bepeclaly ise potbern and the sou group official leadership carding exactly what the president had in mind. Hysteria over the C. I. O. and its contemplated invasion of the south has caused more administration trou- ble in congress than any other factor. F. D. R's left wing pals explain apologetically to labor leader friends that’ the president was forced to hit at the C. I, O. as well as the Girdlers end Graces, and that the dynamiting at Johnstown, Pa, on the same day influenced his statement. But his right wing supporters: wish he had gone about 10 times as far in bawl- ing out John Lewis. The statement was the first crumb conservatives have had from the White House for a long time, and Roosevelt must still be classed as dis- tinctly “pro-labor.” Watch out for « presidential rap now against Tom Girdler of Republic Steel, who once every request.of the Taft-Garrison- McGrady mediation board. oe a stronger labor movement and thinks the country needs it, Consequently he has welcomed, and to some extent aided, the rise of Lewis because the Cc. I, O. chief appears to be the strongest leader labor has produced. About the time national guardsmen in Ohio were ordered to see non- strikers safely back into steel plants, Lewis went to the office of Secretary of Labor Perkins to ask that the steel mediation board be requested to make a report on its futile efforts to get the independent steel officials to agree to something. Miss Jay, personal secretary to Miss Perkins, told him her boss was at « social workers’ conference in Maine. Soon afterward a friend,.who knew of his quest, telephoned Lewis that Miss Perkins had been in her office all morning—and she had. xe x Great Strides for Lewis The setback Lewis has received in “Uittle steel” will’ do C. I. O. some harm and perhaps‘an equal amount of good. Hindsight indicates the strike was pulled “too soon.” The combina- tion of a grim management, strong local opposition, militia and a large gtoup of non-union workers appears to be fatal medicine to C.

Robinson, who in the past four years has given an extraordin- ary demonstration of ‘ability to sub- ordinate personal judgment to po- litical loyalty—there is @ distinct im- pression that this sturdy Senate leader has had a great weight lifted from his mind. - Certainly, compared to the mental state in which he was'before the Jef- ferson Island picnic, he is -as light- hearted as a meadow lark. Gone are the moody spells. He no longer sits and broods. The bitterness in his soul has ceased to be apparent to his friends and he does not now speak of the immense strain he has imposed upon himself in carrying out-the orders of the “Great Humanitarian”- in- the But Lewis has made great strides. He claims 3,000,000 ©. I. O. members. He has 260 contracts related industries wi his word, so that in a few days the box was nearly full of coins. The average American likes a joke, and isn’t above tossing away a nickel if it appeals to his sense of humor. The point, however, is that the customers who “played” this cigar box got just about as much for their money, as they would have got if the slot machine had never been removed. ered to beipayia sve with independent one battle. The bat Steel and General smaller skirmishes morale may be hit greatest The average slot machine is an everything-goes-in, nothing- tha comes-out proposition. You might just about as well put your money in an empty cigar box, for all you are likely to get out of it. Indeed, these Chattanooga players are probably ahead of a the game; they at least got a chuckle for their money. Careers in Aviation Air gliding, subsidized heavily in Europe, has reached enormous proportions there as compared with free-lance de- velopment in the United States. Germany has an estimated 50,000 glider pilots as against a mere 500 holding licenses in this country. On the occasion of the annual gliding and soaring meet at Elmira, N. Y., an aeronautics association offivial used this comparison to emphasize the importance of developing, through slider training, a larger force of flyers, to be available to this country for future national defense. » This, it seems, is attacking the problem from the wrong angle. There are enough legitimate peacetime opportunities in flying to make it attractive to the average promising youngster looking for a career. Besides, too many young Americans have become keenly aware that there is no real future in war. Built His Own Memorials Col. Hugh L. Cooper, who died the other day after an uncommonly active and useful life, certainly left behind him plenty of visible memorials to his own achievements. the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. One great tower of Girdler’s strength was his ability to charge C. I. O. had no rej for “sacredness of con- tracts” by pointing to 200 unauthor- ized strikes in automobile, plants since the ‘General Motors and Chrysler agreements with C. I. O. Lewis sympathisers within the ad- ministration feel that G. M. and Chrysler will insist on strotig insur- ance against further unauthorized strikes before entering any long term contract with the union. The U. A.‘W. claims 350,000 members, however, and it is not: anticipated here that the: C. I. O, will lose much if any of the ground it has gained in the automo- bile field.

He it was who threw - the Keokuk dam across the Mississippi, who built similar dams and power stations in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Egypt— and who, to cap the climax, put through the tremendous hydro- electric project on the Dneiper river for the Soviet government. A builder on that titanic seale needs no monument. All|. across the world he has his own monuments—huge, enduring; for enormously useful monuments. For once the old saw is literally true—his- work lives after him. : Proof of Activity Tron ore carloadings during May established a new all-time fecord, being five per cent above the 1929 figures. ‘That: means industrial activity all over America; that business is going fall speed ahead.
