He thereby recognizes one of the main obstacles to na- tional unity and to continued progress and prosperity. But, unfortunately, he fails to prescribe an adequate method of clearing away this mist and putting the relations between labor and management generally on a sound basis. Changes in the American industrial fabric have created a condition in which management as well as labor has some- thing of an employe status. This is inevitable under a cor- porate set-up and there is no reason why, if left alone, these employes should not be able to get along on the tried American principle of fair play and honest dealing. The trouble is that neither group is left alone. In addition to the natural economic compulsions working on everyone, labor is beset by agitators and wild-eyed dreamers who, all too often, have the ability to sound convincing. Again in the language of Mr. Thorpe, “the ignorant bear false witness against America’s economic system.” Management, on the other hand, is too often beholden to persons who lack a deep understanding of the problems of both management and labor and of their relations to each other. America’s railroads offer a case in point. Their lethargy cnly recently shaken off, was not due to lack of knowledge or progressive spirit on the part of railroad managers but to the inability of railroad boards of directors to see the necessity for change. One man who certainly knows whereof he speaks recently commented in The Tribune office that certain railroad systems still are controlled by persons who own only an infinitesimal portion of their stock but who derive incidental benefits from their control. That situation, certainly, is unhealthy. It leads to as many complications on the managerial side of the fence as the ubiguitous interference of agitators causes on the other. ~~ Because of these fundamental facts it clearly would be a good thing if labor could free itself from the subversive in- fluences which have fastened themselves to the workmen’s coat-tails and if management could free itself from the dic- tatorial control of those who view labor as a mere commodity and not as an important and integral part of the productive machine. -There are some places in America where this has been done. And in every instance the result has been good. Labor has today no legitimate goal which has not already been reached somewhere in America by the efforts of sound, progressive and unfettered management, aided by intelligent and understanding labor. As things stand now honest business is being unfairly ‘accused and blackguarded while honest labor is often bam- boozled and hornswoggled. Tf let alone management and labor would have no trouble fn reaching sound agreements and most of the nation’s in- dustrial trouble would vanish. There are ways of clearing away the mists of misinformation which now do so much harm. If labor will think carefully and well before it accepts lead- ership, rejecting flannel-mouthed agitators, and if manage- ment’ can find the nerve to talk up to boards of directors, in- sisting that they examine the facts in the light of sound Amer- ican principles, the mists will float away and it will be better. | for everyone. Doom for Racketeers Regardless of his politics, every decent American will cheer the action of New York’s voters in electing young Thomas %. Dewey as district attorney in the metropolis. As a special prosecutor Mr. Dewey has done—and done jwell—a job which has needed doing since the-memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Intelligent, fearless and aggressive action has proved that cities CAN deal effectively with racketeers, that it is uot NECESSARY for decent persons in urban centers to pay tribute to the underworld. The nation has long known this. Milwaukee, for example, has never had any such trouble, even when nearby Chicago seemed to be dominated by underworld elements. Dewey has proved that it can be done in the BIGGEST city in the country. He proved it by the simple act of doing it. It is true that Dewey would not have been elected had it not been for the amazing political strength of Mayor La Guar- dia, but that fact makes little difference. The important thing is that he was elected to a post in which he will have ample opportunity to continue the work he has so well begun. His example, if he continues as he has started, is ample notice to citizens everywhere that all they need do to clean up unsavory conditions is to choose the right man.and then give him unqualified support. Had New York failed to elect Dewey it would have been notice to racketeers there and everywhere that political chican- cry still is ample protection for them and that either public decency is at a low ebb or that decent folk are easy to fool. The returns will have just the opposite result. They will trike fear into racketeers and let public officials with a ten- Wency. toward weak knees know that the public will stand behind them in the performance of their duties. ‘That eastern football coach ee ice cates she fine points football strategy ought to realise fos of Monday morhing quarterbacks for himself. ne UP a: May Scenes Washington a By RODNEY DUTCHER ) (Tribune Washington Correspendent! Wi , Nov. 4 — Frank C. “mystery man,” director of the bureau of the budget. The element of doubt about it ap- pears to rest in the question whether Roosevelt can persuade Walker to take over the job. Heretofore Walker usually has succumbed to the bland- ishments of his close friend in the White House when the latter has be- seeched him to take over a difficult administration job. Walker doesn’t) want to be director of the budget, but he probably will be, just the same. The budget and the matter of balancing it have become an increas- ingly serious problem in the presi- dent's mind. Ever since Director Lew Douglas quit in protest against New Deal spending policies, in 1934, the budget has been in charge of ca- pable Acting Director Dan Bell, who is guided to a large degree by Secre- tary of the Treasury Morgenthau, who in turn is so subject to White House supervision that Roosevelt sometimes is called “his own secretary of the Treasury.” The fact that neither the budget directorship nor the post of comp- troller of the currency, vacated by John R. McCarl, have ever been filled is at least partly attributable to the fact that the previous in- cumbent proved too independent and recalcitrant for the president’s com- fort. Walker, a lawyer-business man with Three Men on a War Horse considerable prestige here and in New York, would be a strong figure in the job and his appointment probably would appeal to business men, since he is considered more conservative than otherwise. On the other hand he always has been completely devoted to Roosevelt, although as an adviser of the more cautious type, and would be fairly sure to see things in the White House way. One function of the budget bureau is to approve or dis- approve appropriations by congress. It always has been understood that Walker, close financial and political adviser, could have virtually any ap- pointive government job he wanted. But he never wanted any. Roosevelt drafted him, first to head the execu- tive council and seek to co-ordinate the New Deal, and later to head the national emergency council, one of whose chef jobs was to set up ma- chinery for WPA applications from the states. ** * Change in Nationality One of the most popular souvenir shops on Pennsylvania Avenue, heav- ily patronized by tourists, was the one which carried the sign “Oriental Ba- zaar—Japanese Gift Shop.” Recently the owners, David Gold- burg and Macy Cohen, found they weren't doing so well. The “made in Japan” stock was especialily sluggish in moving. So now the shop has become the “Chinese Bazaar” and no more Jap- anese goods iia Relng Doughy for sale. The Fear of War Attack by Senator Hiram Johnson of California on Roosevelt's “new foreign policy” was a distinct letdown to some of the administratoion strate- gists. They had been confident that anti-Japanese sentiment on the Pacific Coast was strong enough to persuade Johnson and other farwest isolation- ists to refrain from criticism. But Johnson makes no bones of his fear that Roosevelt, exercising his execu- tive discretion, may bungle the coun- try into war. ‘ * * Up Hoover Preponderant belief among all po- litical broups in Washington is that ex-Gov. Alf Landon’s radio address, designed largely as a bid for support in his feud with Herbert Hoover over Republican party control, did as much indirectly to build up Hoover as any- thing that has happened for a long time.

There was no demand for it either from congress or from the people. Certain members of the cabinet still think it unnecessary, and several sen- ate leaders advised against it. The present business situation, which would seem to justify it now, was not con- sidered at the time the decision was Penman was not, in fact, known to exist. In view of the original and avowed program, it would hardly be popular with business, Hence it seems. that the call was exclusively in the inter- ests of labor and agriculture. These are the two classes to which Mr. Roosevelt has catered consistently since he came in, and it is natural that, for political reasons, he should con- tinue so to do. The extraordinary thing, however, is that from neither of these groups was there any pres- sure for an extra session, nor is there any unanimity of thought concerning the proposed legislation supposedly in their interests, or any insistance that the urgency is such that it is impossi- ble to wait until January for action. On the contrary, the farm organiza- tions have not yet decided whether they want compulsory or voluntary crop control, and, while Mr. Wallace the Grotto POLITICS Copyright 1937, by The Baltimere Sup inclines toward the former, he has taken no fixed position and the presi- dent is reported to be “on the fence.” It would seem that the surest way to expedite farm legislation would be for the president and Mr. Wallace defi- nitely to know what they want. On the labor side, there is equal division. It is true that Mr. Lewis’ C. I. O. lined up last session behind the ad- ministration wages and hours bill, the heart of which is a Labor Board, to which vast powers are delegated, but the A. F. of L, is not for that bill, and Senator (Major) George Berry, once the most articulate of Rooseveltian rubber stamps and a labor leader of note, has declared against the board idea in « vigorous, not to gay vehe- ment, way. It does seem reasonable to believe that if time is the essence of the ing out the differences of opinion, not’ on the details but on the really vital) features of these two measures—dif- ferences that now exist among the people they are designed to please. Once that is done, action in congress would certainly be expedited. If you want to save time that is the way to) save it. Without adjusting those dif- ferences, the four weeks which the extra session gives before the Christ- mas holidays does not mean much. The official explanation for the November 15 call is based on the crop- control bill, which it is urged should be in operation in time for the “spring planting.” That's one way of looking 1 Pictured man.

It is pointed out, for instance, that, while it may be desirable for the farmer to know what the law is before he does his spring planting, it is also desira- ble for the administration politicians to get the checks flowing before the spring primaries. Since 1933 the Roo- sevelt administration, through the AAA for soil conservation or other devices, has distributed approximately $500,000,000 in cash annually to farm- ers, ‘This is not intended to convey the idea that all the farmers who re- totes purchase! fpe cash, but i sin vol \- Tented 10 borleey thet, the practical politicians in this administration re- By William Brady, M.

SURCEASE FROM XEROSIS Dr. Webster says, and this time I agree, that xerosis (pronounced zerosis) 4s abnormal dryness, as of the skin or eyes.

Xerosis or xeroderma refers to no specific skin disease, but to a com- mon state-of the skin associated with various specific diseases and a still more Recipes or formulas here suggested are useful for the purpose of alleviat- ing xerosis or xeroderma and may be indiscriminately employed for this purpose.
