They say that Roosevelt was con- ciliatory and that Lewis was consid- erably less belligerent at the White House than in previous public and private expressions. The view among administration insiders is that the labor leader’s public lashings at Roosevelt were largely induced by the fact that Lewis had made so many private denunciations of Roosevelt that he felt he could hardly avoid something of the sort in a major pub- lic address.

It Isn’t Smart One of the noteworthy changes from the old to the new in ‘America is the modern approach to what used to be referred to ns “moral questions,” particularly as they affect matters of sex. Thus we have a new and ultra-modern girl writer asserting in The Tribune recently that “chastity is one thing which every girl decides for herself” and now we see no less a person than Dr. James L. McConaughy, president of Wesleyan university, taking a completely factual view of the same condition.

The festimony of medical groups rates various procedures as from 20 per cent to 90 per cent safe.” " be He i it fll u uy : i & zg i i i g 582 elt i i # impossible. Fundamentally, the two men differ through the fact that Lewis, a former Republican, has absorbed the philo- aophy that labor can and should rise to dominance through a farmer-labor e he Sree Comet POLITICS Copyright 1937, by The Baltimere Sun By FRANK R. KENT Due emphasis is placed, of course, upon the value of self- .pontrol to the young man and woman who cultivate this virtue and upon the idea that self-control, practiced now, is a guide to happy marriage later on. Dr. McConaughey’s view is that "you are definitely preparing yourself for marriage in strength- ening your character by saying ‘no’ now.” The new approach should have better results than the old, by a far more extensive union or- ganisation of labor than has yet been achieved. Nearly all the C. I. O. leaders hold to the same long range objective. they are content to function as a balance of political power in industrial states, expanding LABOR UNION REVENUE Not long ago, Mr. David Beck, who and, of today have become heavily fi- nanced businesses with great cash is more or less of a dictator in labor | surpluses, fairly comparable to those matters on the Pacific Coast, though affiliated with the A.

They are in the “big money.” L, instead of the C1.O., was just as of many corporations national in It is natural that this state of af- fairs should not only tempt astute and ambitious men to becom labor into politics, This is made the easier because, while the federal law requires regular sworn reports of revenue and expenditures not only from the major political parties but also from all other agencies which contribute to campaigns, it makes no such re- quirement of lebor organizations. ‘These may give as much as they like, unexplained formula for morality. Modern youth has a marked tendency to ask “why” about everything and those who know the answers should not hesitate to give them. Anyone whose mind {s not inflamed by passion knows they ar& convincing, It is passing strange when the old eva: im needs the bolstering influence represented by the phrase “It isn’t amart,” but since that explanation is available—and true—why not use it? Prejudice Begets Prejudice As prejudiced as the Ku Klux Klan is purported to be with regard to certain matters, it is hard to overlook the fact that many who oppose it are, themselves, the victims of prejudice. The case of Mr. Justice Black has, beyond question, stirred up a hornets’ nest. Individuals and groups opposed to the Ku Klux Klan have worked themselves into a fever about his fonnection with the order, which now seems to have been estab-|in » poli contest fished beyond all question. This is particularly true in the|ctrcumstances, Roosevelt Ukely to influence North where the Klan never became so well established or so |nfluential as it did in the South. ’ __ But it never occurs to those who are the most excited that Chey, themselves, are victims of prejudice. Because the Klan {was prejudiced against them, they became prejudiced against It, As a result, large groups of the populace are unable to look ft the question calmly and without heat, Even to the most liberal, of course, Justice Black’s connec- fion with the Klan certainly is not a recommendation. His labor influence in elections as far as ness in the country today. An exam- ination of the facts seems to show bis this is not much of an exaggera- jon. The best evidence is to be the financial facts as furnished the unions themselves. It is true is no way to check up on these it is certain that the union leaders do not magnify their income. Nev- ertheless, the admitted figures are sufficient to explain how the C.1.0. trough ee bres was enabled last year ve Roosevelt campaign $500,000; to lend the Dethocratic Na- tional Committee $50,000 more; to help finance, in addition to tts own Nonpartisan League, the Good Neigh- bor League of the Rev.

She'd overslept a Indication that he would make a good judicial officer when Healing with such questions as those in which the Klan inter- bated itself.

The fact is that many good citizens joined the in, for one reason or another, in its heyday. When it was | itd strong the Klan probably numbered several million ad- rents. To condemn them in the mass is hardly logical. ~ Prejudice is hardly ever far below the surface in many ids and it is just as undesirable coming from one side a8 another. Those who are making the most noise about “Klan issue” and who most dislike the Klan might remem- - ber that their activities may result in a révival of the Klan’s hetivities, Already there are signs of it in the South.
