Until Rio de Janeiro air clears of the smoke screen thrown out to effect the installation of Getulio Vargas as dictator, Brazil will remain an uncertain political quantity and as such, will be dangerous goods for the United States to be tampering with. Some recognition of this has come from Washington, where the belief exists that now is a time for full indulgence of the “good neighbor” policy sponsored by President Roosevelt. A firmer barrier against intervention is the Buenos Aires peace conference agreement, under which American governments promised not to interfere in any way in the domestic affairs of other American nations. But behind these fairly strong persuasions to keep our hands off, are some clamoring contraditions. And there’s something familiar to their ring. In the first place, there are the $560,000,000 worth of obli- gations due the United States from Brazil. Approximately $200,000,000 is in direct investments—public utilities and man- ufacturing enterprises. Brazilian bonds held in this country total some $362,000,000. Then there is the matter of big business carried on between the United States and Brazil. American commercial men fear that a Fascist Brazil—suggested by the corporative state form of the new government—will resume barter trading with Ger- many, and possibly Italy, at the expense of American exporters. Only a few months before Getulio assumed dictatorial power, American firms estimated that German goods landed in Brazil at low prices had slashed American competitive sales from 25 to 95 per cent. What will happen now that Vargas is in the saddle and fully committed to a course of anti-Bolshevism similar to Germany's, is something American traders can only groan and pray over. These grumblings and worries are bound to reach the ears of the administration if it develops that Brazfl has turned in the “wrong” direction. Cries for protection of investments and property always have been about as much an official con- cern as the loss of lives, in foreign embroglios. Add the state department's own little worry about preserv- vd ing the “democratic form” in governments of the Western hemisphere, and you have the makings for an “incident” which may lead to a “misunderstanding” which may lead to something i far worse. see So it is admirable that word has already come from Wash- ington that wherever Brazil is heading, she can go, for all the United States cares. But people with good memories and a curiosity to see if history ever repeats itself are going to have tun seeing just how long this noble experiment will last. : ' Crackdown on Lawyers An important part of the business of cracking down on . racketeers is the job of cracking down on crooked lawyers. The appellate division of the New York supreme court recently per- formed that job in fine style by disbarring Attorney J. Richard Davis, who had been the late Dutch Schultz’s lawyer. Any man accused of crime has a right to hire a lawyer, of course, and that lawyer has a right to defend his client. But it seems that Schultz used to hire his lawyer in advance; Davis accepted his retainers and agreed to defend him before the crimes against whose consequences he was to defend him had even been committed. : The court properly remarks that such a system makes a lawyer # silent partner in crime and encourages the perpetua- tion of crime. And while the number of unscrupulous lawyers _ who operate on such a basis is very small, such men are an important part of the underworld structure. If they can be | driven out of the profession they disgrace, the winning of the war on commercialized crime will be just that much easier. ee Inviting Trouble i An official report to the state department from American + haval authorities in the Far East shows that 4,561 Americans have been evacuated from China, as of Oct. 29, and that 5,802 * Americans still remain there. | __. demands from the American colony that the American govern- I ment extend protection to its citizens who were marooned in |», the battle zone and could not get away. The navy and the tt ' marines got on the job to do what was necessary, at consid- erable risk to themselves. By now, however, a goodly percentage of the marooned Americans have been rescued. It is a fair assumption that most of those who remain are remaining from choice. And the logical deduction is that there is far less reason than before * tor running the risk of embroiling America in the war in order to protect Americans who are playing the role of innocent by- stander. 4 i ||" When the shooting. begen at Shanghai, there were loud q Traffic Tortoises - It is an interesting and ironic fact that despite the high speeds which are being built into modern automobiles, the best speed which a motorist can make when driving through the average big city is slightly less than 20 miles an hour. ; This, of course, is simply due to traffic congestion. It does one little good to drive a car capable of high speeds, if the | traffic stream compels one to poke along at a pace which the top-heavy limousines of 1912 could equal. And it emphasizes the tremendous problem which traffic | inte : ‘ engineers are facing. Harvard's famous Dr. Miller McClintock "has suggested that five or six million new auto buyers would come into the market if city traffic congestion could be relieved. the —_— Washington ‘De Luxe’ Farm im Ahead ef Progra Congress Will Be Costlier Than Ever—Soll Conservation and Crop Ccntrol to Be Retained and Ever- Normal Granary, Parity Income Added, This is the third of six stories on congress and what lies ahead of it at the special session. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) ‘Washington, Nov. 18.—Farm legis- lation is on the preferred list for the special session and a new, de luxe farm program — embodying the allegedly best features of previous programs plus certain new ones—will emerge before the 75th congress: marches home to the 1938 elections. Just as the new program will be fancier—and perhaps more effective, it also will be more expensive. Guesses run all the way from $600,000,000 to a billion dollars a year. Although disputes may rage among Secretary Wallace, the farm organ- izations and farm-interested leaders on Capitol Hill, the main features of the measure finally passed are fairly sure to include: 1—Continuation of the present “soil conservation” program with its crop control program, payments to farmers for allocation of crop land to “soil- building” crops and base acreages for cotton, wheat, corn, rice and tobacco. 2—Revival of the old AAA voluntary adjustment program, including the system of benefit payments, and pro- duction “goals.” 3—An ever-normal granary system under which farmers would store up enough in good crop years to carry the country through lean crop years, with farmers receiving commodity loans conditional on acreage reduc- tion promises. This system would ap- ply to cotton, wheat, corn, and rice and probably other crops. 4—A new policy of attempting to maintain “parity income” for farmers —an extension of the old AAA “parity price” policy. When it is impossible or seems inadvisable to push prices up to “parity,” benefit payments could be paid with the aim of establishing farmer incomes on a base compérable with the relation of farmer and non- iene dnoomes in the period ego ‘Revival of processing taxes, al least on cotton and wheat. Roosevelt insists on new taxes to cover any added expense of the new farm pro- gram and the whole program's prob- able cost will be about $500,000,000 lus the total revenue from process- noid | presidential days thal he dent, who wanted to go in the other/absurd to wonder whether t | direction. .
