CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. LABOR AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Governor Landon in his acceptance speech in Topeka made the following statement on labor: The right of labor .to organize means to me the right of employees to join any type of union they prefer, whether it covers their plant, their craft or their industry. It means that, in the absence of a union contract, an employe has an equal right to join a union or to refuse to join a union The labor plank adopted by the Democratic Na- tional Convention in Philadelphia reads We have given the army of America’s in- dustrial workers something more substantial than the Republicans’ dinner pail full of prom- ises. We have increased the worker’s pay and shortened his hours; we have undertaken to put an end to the sweated labor of his wife and children; we have written into the law of the land his right to collective bargaining and self-organization free from the interference of employers; we have provided federal machin- ery for the peaceful settlement of labor dis- putes. We will continue to protect the worker and we will guard his rights, both as wage earner and consumer, in the production and consumption of all commodities including coal and water power and other national resource products. The worker has been returned to the road i to freedom and prosperity. We will keep him on that road Is there any wonder that workers of 92 crafts and trades and- officials of 47 international unions have pledged themselves to the re-election of Presi- dent Roosevelt? A HUMANE PROGRAM “The Democratic party has at all times, consis- tently and militantly, held to the ideal that the people | haye the right to live under honest and progressive government and to demand the safeguarding of human rights and values as well as those of property,” said | Gov. Herbert H. Lehman of New York at the national | convention in Philadelphia, “These principles of government have been firmly embraced and adhered to by President Roosevelt. They were not new to him when he entered the White House. He had been first in this wide land to insti- tute State participation in unemployment relief in| New York in 1931, a year and a half before President Hoover addressed himself to the problem. In that year Governor Roosevelt set up a non-political State agency which in the past five years has not been sub- Jected to a breath of suspicion or a word of justifiable critietsm. “Likewise old-age assistance was first instituted by him when Governor of New York. And so Frank- lin D. Roosevelt as President simply ran true to form. When he had cared for the urgent economic needs, he immediately turned his attention to broads social needs. He has never wavered in his conviction that our democratic form of government is a vehicle cre- ated by the people for the purpose of securing for all citizens equal opportunity and equal security so far as human intelligence can achieve. “Public-spirited Republicans are un- questionably just as deeply concerned with and sincerely devoted to the principle of social jus- tice as are Democrats, They will continue to support sound measures proposed for the benefit of the underprivileged. But there is not the least doubt in my mind that there is a determined effort on the part of Republican political leadership to discredit, tear down and block the great movement of which our Presi- dent has been the spearhead and the inspira- tion. T am convinced, too, that the attack on | the entire program extends not only to the | Federal Government but to the States them- selves. In my own State I have seen the most | cruel, the most arrogant, attempt on the part | of the Republican leadership to sabotage Fed- eral and State social and labor legislation. And yet these same men dare to claim that they are concerned with the welfare of the people!” : “The Republican platform adopted at Cleveland contains this deeply significant statement: ‘We pro-| pose to encourage adoption by the States and Terri- tories of honest and practical measures for meeting | the problems of unemployment insurance. The un-| employment insurance and old-age annuity sections of the present Social Security Act are unworkable.’ “If those words had been written a hundred feet | high they could not more clearly serve as notice that | if the Republican party gains control of our govern-| ment next November the nation-wide establishment! of unemployment insurance will be completely de- stroyed. Tie political leaders of the Republican party, when they wrote those words, knew, as do all of us that an effective system of unemployment in- surance cannot possibly be enacted save on the basis of minimum standards set by the Federal Government for the nation as a whole. These very men will be the first to oppose its adoption by any single State unless all the other States in the same industrial com- petitive class have the same ‘statute. That was the position taken by their party in New York this year and it is significant because of the position held by lhended toward very sharp regulation. national party. An’ officially designated representa- tive of the New York Republican Assembly stated recently in a radio address, and I use his own words, “There is no such thing as social security in this world of ours today.’ “There is no use in mincing words. It must be clear that any movement for unempioyment insur- ance is impossible unless all the States are on an |equal plane of minimum standards of cost, as pro-| | vided by the Wagner Social Security Act. President! | Roosevelt’s program is the most humane, the most | beneficial measure of our lifetime. Are we to allow it | to be hog-tied and even killed by the forces of merci- less reaction? Let us also cast our eyes to other coun-| {tries of the world.” | R bl S If you are driving one of those one-eyed cars, it might be well to have your lights fixed before the| boys have to pick you up.- It means your own safety as well as the safety of others. | R We' stew a little about the water inconvenience, but have you, considered our situation as compared with the drought-ridden middle west? Great Britain is going to build two new battle- ships. In the interests of peace, we suppose. Alaska | (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) Perhaps we dwell too much upon our Northern Empire. J But here are a few reasons for our insistence: Records of goods exchanged between this problem child and her proud parent are being smashed. Likewise the human freight of tourists. Also, she’s to have a great air base to hold the umbrella over her progenitor—the “States.” Propably two air bases—one near Fairbanks, the other somewhere in the far, curved swing of the Aleutians. H This will make the view from our west windows more enjoyable, less tinctured with apprehension And here's an item that might one day mean something to our presently opulent beltline: Potatoes planted in Alaskan soil on May 18 fruc- tified and placed their precious, succulent little spud- children on the tables of Territorians on July 18— just sixty days later Almost uninterrupted Northern summer sunshine performs the miracle of growth. When Nature is so kind just south of the Arctic Circle, perhaps most of our worries a thousand or fif- teen hundred miles nearer the equator are—well, just phantasms conjured by regrets for meals never missed and not likely to be missed, no matter what pressure groundless forebodings exert against our pneumo- gastric nerves. A “Managed Gold Currency” (Cincinnati Enquirer) Dr. W. Randolph Burgess, Vice President of the contribution to clear thinking on monetary matters in his address to the Public Affairs Institute at Char- lottesville, Va. Denying that our central banking | system has real “control” over credit, he described its| powers as “influences” over credit, and not particu- | larly effective influences at that. But there is always an element of management in the currency system, | he said, whether it is based directly on gold or not. This iatter point is of particular interest just now. inasmuch as the Democrats have taken their stand for a managed currency backed by gold and the Re- publicans, cautiously, for & return to the gald standard.} “This country has had for years a considerable amount of currency management,” Dr. Burgess pointed out. “The advocates of a so-called managed currency frequently confuse the issue by contrasting | the proposal they advocate, which is a fluctuating gold | value for the currency, with what they term the old- fashioned automatic gold standard. It should be noted that ever since the Federal Reserve Act was passed. this country has not had an automatic money sys- tem.” The real choice, he concluded, is not between a managed currency and an automatic gold standard, but between management with the limits of gold con- vertibility and management outside those limits. Al- though Dr. Burgess indicates a mild preference for | the stricter system which makes the currency conver- tible into gold, the main point of ‘his remarks is the fact that the currency will have to be managed in any event. To that end, it would be wise to establish sound “control” over money and credit, in the interest of a stable currency. Regulating Air Travel (Boston Globe) Just why the Hindenburg found it necessary to fly over three British seaports, a naval station, the Southampton docks, the Portsmouth Navy Yard and other vital areas remains something of a mystery. The recent flight to the United States by way of the St. Lawrence and the Hudson River raises other in- teresting questions. It should be remembered, however, that this sort of thing is not new. For decades seaways have been explored in every ocean for naval purposes under innocent guise of scientific study of tides, fish, cur- rents and salt water flora and fauna. Every nation does this sort of thing. If transoceanic flights in commerce are to be put to this use, air travel is Studying The Co-operatives | (Louisville Courier-Journal) The Federal commission to study the cooperatives abroad has sailed. Its obvious purpose is to ascertain whether their various methods of organization and operation offer any improvements that can be adopted | to the advantage of American cooperatives. That is intelligent action. Common sense always obtains all the benefit it can from the experience of others. Business, art and the professions learn wherever there is something to learn; but, doubtless, campaign calumny will discover in this expedition the intent of importing alien ideas to contaminate pure American- ism, although there rarely is a day when no Euro- pean, Chinese or Japanese commission is over here studying ,American methods. Partisan Extremes (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) ‘We are going to have numerous instances during the next four months of the daffy lengths to which partisanship can go. But the masterpiece of the campaign so far is the construction placed on the following words from Mr. Roosevelt's speech: “I ac- cept the commission you have tendered me. I join with you. I am enlisted for the duration of the war.” This is construed to mean that the President is look- |ing forward to a third term in the White House!" | That's not only reading between the lines, but over, under and all around them.
