Here is a case of a lawyer in the employ of subsidized air transport lines who failed to produce documents subpoenaed by a Senate committee. Since the investigation of air mail subsidy, pacts was preliminary and necessary to enactment of air mail reforms, it is obvious that the Senate was obstructed in its legistative work by the failure of the lawyer to obey the subpoena. It is not important whether Mr. MacCracken, as an individual, goes to jail. No particular good came from the ten days behind the bars served by Col. Brittin, Mr. MacCracken's co-defendant, who had neither the money nor the inclination to continue to challenge the Senate's authority. But it is important that the power of Con- gressional Committees to do their work should be unimpaired. Committee investigations have hecome essential to the functioning of Congress. Without access to the facts intelligent action is impossible. In the last decade there has been little important national legislation not preceded by a Congressional investigation. The recent three to two decision by the District Court of Appeals, holding that the Senate had no authority to punish Mr. MacCracken, if sustained, would weaken this indispensible power of inquiry: “DING” DESIGNS STAMP. | No matter how many days are set aside on which migratory birds may be hunted, every hunter | will pay a fee for the privilege of hunting. The plight of wild fowl has been alarming for several Yyears. Droughts in the feeding and breeding grounds, coupled with hunting on a wide scale, have pro- duced a situation which is admittedly serious. The Congress has passed a bill which requires every hunter to have a stamp in his possession when he | shoots a duck, goose, or other fowl. classified as migratory. J. N. “Ding” Darling, noted cartoonist and con-| servationist.. who was appointed as Chief of the United States Biological Survey by President Roose- velt, is the designer of the stamp. His pen has turned out the new $1 hunting stamp which soon will be issued by the Post Office Department. Sales are expected to produce between $600,000 and $1,- 000,000 annually to aid wild fowl sanctuaries. Every hunter of migratory wild fowl must buy one of these stamps. However, Mr. Darling points out that no one is under any obligation to kill a duck just because he buys a stamp. MAN UNABLE TO START OR STOP R Perhaps the people of the State of Arkansas, who are going to set aside a day on which tl;e__ whole State will unite in prayer for rain, have concluded with Dr. W. J. Humphreys, United States Weather Bureay’ sciehtist, that human agencies are powerless to either start or stop rain. The terrific droughts of recent months brought to the front many proposed methods for artiicially preducing rain, none of which had any practical value, and according to Dr. Humphreys, none ever tried out by man has had. the slightest effect in either producing or stopping it. Nature's method of making rain, he explains, is first to get an abundance of water into the atmo- sphere by evaporation from water surfaces, ice surfages, growing vegetation and damp soil, and then to squesze it out by lowering the temperature. |bayonets.

Any reason which the Japanese Finance Ministry can advance to convince its compatriots that the United States and Great Britain are not really planning a military assault upon the island empire will be received readily enough here. If the Min- ister, Mr. Takahashi, believes that America’s “econ- omic’ and financial circumstances” have been so greatly weakened in recent years” as to leave us too poor for aggressive adventure in the Western we shall not argue the point with him. Whether the NRA is realy a costly failure and whether the United States is in fact “virtually bank- rupt” no one knows, least of all ourselves; but that we are at any rate not rich enough to engage upon any ufinecessary fighting is something with “which every one wil agree. No nation ‘ever is. Indeed, Mr. Takahashi has some reason for his hinted tu gquoque. ~That colossal Japanese budget deficit, at which every one was drawing such long faces g year or two ago, has apparently: been well surpassed—by the United StateS. ~Mr." Takahashi's budget, adopted last February, -cerried no less than 49 per cent of deficit; our own' actual deficit for the fiscal year just closed is mew -announced at the splendid figure of 56 per- cent ‘of the total expenditure.

The differences are largely in relative emphasis, and in the capacity of the underlying economic structures of the two countries to carry the ultimate burdens involved in this sort of emergency treat- ment.

The Docker’s Strike. (New York World-Telegram.) About the only social value the sanguinary strike of Pacific Coast dockmen seems to have is as & warning. This protracted and violent affair teaches the lesson the Orientals have learned, that humans sometimes will fight even harder to save their faces than to gain an economic advantage. Since May 9, when the dockmen went out in demnd for union recognition and better hours and wages, both strikers and employers Nave been play- ing a face-saving game. $everal times during the negotiations the belligerents have been off the point of patching their differences. Pride always has . lintervened, and with each failure mutual agreement has become: more: difficult. - The shippers have beeh paying for their pride im millions™ef dollars in losses. The unionists may pay in loks of their strike. The climax to the Jong-drawnout’quarrel is the very thing that neithef side wanted, the inter- vention of State militiamen to redpen the ports. Now, instead of seasoned:’negotiations, passion is /loosed along with tear gas and gunfire. The public should have been in the affair as peacemaker instead of as strikebreaker, armed with policemen’s clubs and troopers’ bayonets. The Fed- eral Government several times has proferred its services in mediation to no avail. But now the public is in the business it should do its policing with & minimum show of force.
