" ALl Fients of publication of Tecial ls0. reserved. herein o Open Hearings. The Senate Subcommittee on District Appropriations has undertaken an in- teresting experiment in holding open hearings on the District bill this year, the success of which will probably de- pend upon the conduct of the taxpayers who appear before the committee in connection with the items under con- sideration. One of the chief reasons for the customary executive s on sppropriations bills is the necessity for haste in getting the measures framed and reported, and with numerous wit- nesses appearing voluntarily to testify the smooth course of the bill through committee is doubtless handicapped. This is especially true on the House side, where the Appropriations Com- mittee must act quickly to complete consideration of the many routine sup- bills in the beginning of each ses- ‘There is every good reason, however, government have mapped out for them until the bill is reported out on the QOoor of the House. Then, of course, it Is too late to hear from the interested lihi Spaniards been at liberty to e ©f condign punishment for high trea- #on against the crown.

At what peril the free speech embargo s abolished is being promptly demon- strated in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville ond other centers of population. The demand for a republc is echoing in stentorian tones all the way from the for violent obliteration of the mon- archy. Spanish parliamentary elections are scheduled for March. The more eonservative proponents of a republic are urging the people to say it with ballots, not bullets, at the polls next month.

Bo it is that the story of the Musso- lini “hit-and-run” scandal will not be exploited in the course of a court-mar- ¢ | tial which, if conducted, would engage the attention of the entire country and doubtless of Europe as well. Mussolini has specifically denounced the tale as ® fabrication. It has not been verified in refutation, save by a partisan anti- Fascist periodical which has asserted that the incident occurred and was wit- nessed by certain Fascists, who after- ward “disappeared,” so that specific proof is lacking. As a matter of fact the tale itself, so imprudently repeated | by Gen. Butler, is regarded by most people as a fable. It is certainly not in keeping with the known character of “Il Duce,” and it is quite assuredly im- probable in its setting. That the ruler of the Italian state should in the pres- ence of a visitor have given such a demonstration of utter heartlessness and cruelty as that described in the apochryphical narrative is too unlikely to be accorded credence. r—or—s. Real Leadership. ‘The Democratic leader of the Senate, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, has laid before that body convincing reasons for the adoption of the compromise agreement, so-called, on relief for the drought-stricken area. Confronted with @ situation which endangered the very relief measure, which is held to be so necessary to the people in the drought- stricken States, the Arkansas Senator had the wisdom to agree to the com- promise. Other members of the Sen- ate, perhaps not so thoroughly imbued with the necessity of bringing rellef without further delay, have raised clrj- ing eriticism of the compromise. The situation in which the proponents of further rellef measures for the drought-stricken States fcund them- clear enough. The Senate had adopted the Robinson amendment appropriating $25,000,000 to be used to relieve the destitute in all parts of the country. The Red Cross, specified in the amendment as the agency to handle the relief fund, had declined to accept its administration. The House by a large vote had rejected the amendment. The President had let it become known that he would not approve such a measure. Mr. Hoover stood out against a Federal dole to the drought stricken and the unemployed, holding that the charities of the country, buttressed by local and State governments, could and would deal adequately with the need of such Telief. The alternatives which presented themselves to Senator Robinson, his colleague, Senator Caraway, and other Senators representing States in the drought-stricken area, were to deadlock the Congress on appropriation bills and force a special session of the Congress after March 4, or to bring about a com- promise which would give credit facili- ties to the people in the drought-strick- en BStates, enabling them to make their crops this year and once again get on their feet. It was clear to those who know eonditions in the Southwest that the relief, the addition of credit facili- ties 50 much needed, must come soon, far sooner than a special session of Congress could provide, or the oppor- tunity for making crops and regaining lost ground would be missed this year. Senator Robinson adopted the wiser course. He chose to compromise. And in s0 doing bhe obtained what he has demanded from the first—greater facili- ties for the people he represents, where banks and credit facilities have been wiped out to a very large extent. Critics of the course pursued by the Democratic leader harp upon the failure of the compromise agreement to use the word “food.” -As Sepator Robinson has pointed out, the language is in- clusive, covering food and other neces- saries of life, such as clothing and medicine. Furthermore, Senator Rob- inson has the pledge of the President of the United States that the proposed relief measure will be administered fair- ly and sympathetically—a pledge made openly by the Chief Executive. Those Senators who have insisted that the Federal Government shall provide a dole for the unemployed in the cities will not be satisfied with the compromise agreement. It does not provide for rellef in the cities. It is a measure intended to give credit fa- cilities to an area which has been visited by & drought which has taken from the people all possibility of mak- ing & living; to an area where credit facilities have been wiped out in large measure due to the same drought. In the cities, it is true, unemployment has been great and the need of charity has been equally great. But in the cities the blight of business depression has not been so0 all-inclusive as in the drought area. The problem of relief is vastly different. In New York City, for example, where more unemploy- ment is found than in any other city, the people as a whole still have great wealth and resources. They are able to come to the ald of the distressed without dipping into the Federal Treasury. They are doing the job, as the President has said. To depart from the principle of voluntary charity and turn to socialism in this matter would be an error, far reaching in extent. ‘The Democratic leader of the Sen- ate has shown himself, in the crisis which he faced, capable of real leader- ship, oo o A member of Congress has no per- sonal fear of unemployment.

Should the wonder be, that there are lurmk, or that there are not more of ? ‘Whichever it is, there are an amas- ing number of surly persons in the world. One runs across them in the streets, in all public places, in offices, ‘The man or woman who honestly tries to see the best 'in others often finds it a most difficult task. Consider this bus driver. He is one of_the surly ones of earth. He seems well fed, is well dressed, is good looking, and has a good job. ‘When some elderly woman hails his vehicle, and asks him if his bus goes to a certain point, he pretends that he does not understand her. Now every other person aboard the bus understands exactly what the woman is asking aboyt. The driver, however, does not seem to_comprehend. Instead of replying directly to her question, he quibbles, in the worst place in the world to' quibble, the middle of the street. One feels inclined to shout, “Oh, you know very well what she is asking about. Tell her, for heaven’s sake, and drive on!"” Usually, some passenger is prompted to tell the woman what she wants to know, after which the driver shuts the | door, with a self-satisfled smirk, and the vehicle goes forward. * K K % But the question which lingers in mf mind of every one aboard is simply s: ‘What makes this type of man surly? Maybe he had a poor breakfast, or got in a quarrel with his wife, or is at odds with his sweetheart. Perhaps there is some queer combi- nation of molecules in his blood stream which sets up a constant irritation, finally affecting his mental processes. In any event, such a person is a nui- sance, especially in public relations. No one would demand that every one go around grinning like a Cheshire cat, but_surely every one who has anything to do with the public ought to be civil. The word “surly” is believed to come from sour, plus ly. Thus he who responds to a-question in a surly manner actually responds sour-ly, or in a sour-like manner. Now sourness of all kinds, with cer- tain exceptions, has long been frowned upon by mankind. Between sweet and sour, or their ex- tremes, there has been a certain good point, generally recognized by most civilized beings. It is perfectly possible for any one. in his public relations, to be ordinarily civil and decent, without either bend- ing over backward, as it were, or going to the other extreme. * % x % Every one has met—and no doubt suf- fered from—the clerk or office boy who did not thoroughly comprehend his duty, both to his employer and his cus- tomer of the moment.

THE VIRGINIA PLAN. Edmund Randolph's speech, which marked the beginning of actual work um the Constitution, is noteworthy alike for its summary of the reasons for the failure of the Government under the Articles of Confederation, and for its clear outline of the system which it ‘was proposed to substitute for it. Regarding the Confederation, he enumerated its defects: Pirst, the lack of security against fore! invasion, Congress not being able to prevent a war or prosecute one by its own author- ity; secondly, the inability of the Cen- tral Goveriment to check quarrels be- jween the States or put down rebellion therein; thirdly, its heiplessness to ad- vance commercial Interests or protect them from hostile activities and com- binations abroad; fourthly, its inability to defend itself even against the en- croachments of the States; fifthly, its faflure to have paramount standing in relation to the State constitutions. In summing up the case against the Confederation, he said that unless prompt and effective steps were taken, anarchy would prevail throughout the land, He then submitted his resolutions, which are instructive when compared with the Constitution in its final form. The resolutions, in brief, called for: (1) Enlargement of the Articles of Confederacy 8o as to secure ‘“common defense, security of liberty and gencral welfare.” (2) Representation to be based on uotas of contribution to the Central overnment, or on the number of free inhabitants per State. (3) A bicameral Legislature. (O] the slature to serve for blank years, to receive liberal salaries and to be in- eligible for re-election. (5) Members of the second branch of the Legislature to be elected by thoss of the first branch, to be well paid, given a long term and not less than blank age; ineligible for re-election, (6) Acts of Federal Legislature branches to be above those of State legislators. (7) A National Executive, highly paid, ineligible for re-election; this Executive to enjoy the executive rights formerly vested in Congress under the Articles. (8) The Executive and a convenient member of the National Judiciary to compose & Council of Revision, author- ized to pass upon acts of the National Legislature; this veto to be final unless the Legislature repasses an act by blank majority, (9) A National Judiciary, of one Su- preme and inferior tribunals to be chosen by the National Legislature, to hold office during good bchavior. The Supreme tribunal to hear, in the dernier 'ssort, all piracies and felonies on the high seas; cases affecting foreigners and citizens of different States; cases affecting national revenue; impeach- ments of national officers, and “ques- tions which may involve the national peace and harmony.” (10) Provision for admitting new States, subject to consent of National Legislature. (11) A republican government to be guaranteed to each State by the United States. ¥ (12) Obligations of Congress under Articles of Confederation to be faith- fully met. (13) The new form of government to be subject to amendment, regardless of assent of the National Legislature. (14) Executive, legislative and judi- cial branches in the several States to take oath to support the Federal Gov- ernment. (15) The scheme of government worked out by the convention, if ap- proved by Congress (of the Articles Confederation), to be submitted to an assembly or assemblies of representa- tives to be “expressly chosen by the Dfl?k to consider and decide thereon.” It is significant that the first ‘basic question dealing with these resolutions was: ' Do you mean to abolish State ernments altogether?” To that h replied in the negative, but uj a strong central govern- ment, nevertheless, ‘The next clash of viewpoints came over lfifln&lflofl.

Usuall; e recognizes the r on absurdity of permitting the surliness of another (figh to breed a like contempt in one's self. For contempt it is, and contempt is a bad emotion, both for the holder and the recipient. It destroys public confi- dence, makes for poor sales, and dis- satisfaction of the customer with a per- fectly good article. Not even an inanimate thing is proof against visible contempt, or annoyance, as summed up in the common degree of surliness which one runs into al- most every day. * ok oKk Let us admit that it would be a very fine thing, perhaps, if the average per son could be surliness-resistant, after the manner of certain vegetables which are “blight-resistant.” Surely surliness is a blight, destroy- ing good will and the good results which flow from ggod will. Mostly this good will is based on small actions, or such cheap but effective means as smiles. - Almost any one can ecrinkle up his face in a smile if he wants to; and, if we were running anything, we would see to it that all our dear employes learned this smiling business the first day they were on duty, or out they would go. Yes, it would be & splendid thing if we were all surliness-resistant, but the queer part of the matter is that it is the surly ones themselves, probably as the result of long and.intimate contact with themselves, who are the most re- sistant_in this respect. Surely it is more than they deserve. It is the sensitive person, who asks only a normal amount of courtesy, who must bear the burden of widespread surliness. Such a man or woman often builds up a first line of defense, consisting of mental preparedness for anything. He expects to find surliness, and, alas, too often is not disappointed! Tt does not, in other words, catch him un- | is, prepared. He has met it before, and knows when to withdraw into his shell. The joke of the whole mattter is that surliness itself is a sort of shell, or protective device, worked up by its victim as a part of his mental life. Surliness is a reaction, based upon ignorance, inferiority, and certain other mental and physical ingredients of the human animal. It is a sign of a sick mind, and per- haps of a sick body as well. Therefore one should feel sorry for its victims, no matter how {rritating they become, or how upsetting they are in the everyday walks of life. ‘The surly person stands—and some- times remains seated—as a warning that the first hundred years are the Members of the first branch of | tests, hardest, and that it's a great life if you do not weaken. CONSTITUTION the Articles) or according to row!l- tion? Madison moved for abol 4 the old system and thought his tion was much “relished.” Then George Read of Delaware, speaking for the small States, objected, and the fight between the large and small States, which was to continue for weeks and threatened to wreck the work of the convention, commenced. By the first week in Jume, certain striking individual viewpoints emerged. Sherman felt that “the people should have as little to do as may be about the Government. They want informa- tion and are constantly liable to be mis- L.” Gerry felt that he “had been too republican, heretofore.” He remained republican, “but ught the danger of the leveling spirit.” Mason, admitting that “we ve been too democratic,” warned against in the opposite extreme. “We ough he said, “to attend to the rights of every class of the people.”” Randolph saw in a strong Senate a check on the follies and turbulences of democracy. There was current among the dele- gates a rumor that & group of Ameri- cans had sent to Europe to secure & prince to serve as king over the new Government. That fear and the gen- eral . distrust of authority caused the delegates to watch closely the phrasing of the clauses relative to the Executive. Randolph, who favored dividing the ex- ecutive power amor three men, thought that in a single Executive the people would discern “the form at least of a little monarch.” However, the chief question, the rela- tive power of the then sovereign States in the proposed government, soon pushed all minor issues, such as the distribution of authority in the differ- ent branches of the government, into the background. The main issue would not be downed. ‘The Virginia plan was also a large- State plan, in that it distributed among | I think. the States control of the Central Gov- ernment, according to only one of two , population or wealth, Finally Gunning Bedford, taking up the argu- ment advanced by his colleague, Read, brought the discontent of the small States clearly before the gathering by bluntly saying: “It seems as if Penn- sylvania and Virginia, by the conduct of their deputles, wished to provide a system in which they would have enor- mous and monstrous influence,” (Copyright, 1931.) —r—e—s Blackbeard Island. From the Atlanta Journal. That was a well founded resolution which the Georgia House of Represent- atives adopted recently asking Con- gress to turn over Blackbeard Island to the County of Mclntosh for develop- ment as a place of public recreation. Originally owned by the State, this island was ceded lo: tional Gevernment, which then used it for quarantine service. In latter years, however, it has been virtually abai doned save for the presence of keeper, and is now of no official con- sequence, Yet, in plant and animal life and in resources for a people’s playground, it is one of the most interesting spots along the South Atlantic Coast. Rich in subtropical vegetation and abound- 4ng in deer, waterfowl and fish, it has an ocean 'h some seven miles long and is altogether picturesque. It was named for a pirate worthy of Steven- son’s pen, and to this day kindles the imagination of all who behold its hazy outlines or thread its tanged interior. Blackbeard, moreover, is the only re- maining island off the Georgia coast not owned by individual interests and still susceptible of large developments as a public property. Since it lies with- in the bounds of McIntosh, that county, it would seem, is entitled to its custody if Pederal claims are relinquished. A graclous and entirely admirable act it would be for Congress to restore the | island, now useless 10 the Government, to its first owner. Thus it would be made into a recreation center, where multitudes of Americans could find health-giving rest and sport. Unfair Competition. Prom the Charleston (8. C.) Evening Post.
