Relatlons between the White House and the press are important to the en- tire country. Obviously the country is vitally interested in the policies of ths administration in control of the Gov- ernment. Its medium. of information 1s the newspaper. Unless the newspaper has the facts and records them cor- rectly, the country is either uninformed or ‘wisinformed. It is to the interest both of the country and of the White House that the facts be presented and presented correctly. If individual news- papers, having the facts, distort the truth they are gullty of seeking to de- ceive the people. If newspapers; having no facts, undertake to publish suspicions or suggestions as facts in their news columns, they go beyond the proper sphere of the press, which is to re- port accurately facts and conditions. The White House is sometimes mis- represented in its attitude toward public policies by newspapers and their cor- respondents. That has been true over a long pericd of years, On the other hand, there have been occasions when greater frankness on the part of the ‘White House would have been the wiser as well as the fairer course. A President of the United States who hits & published ‘lie promptly and de- cisively will have the approval of the country. Roosevelt had his “Ananias Club.” The former Governor of New York, Alfred E. Smith, while chief ex- ecutive of the Empire State, did not hesitate to brand as falsehoods state- ments published about himself and his policies and plans when occasion arose. A new White House Ananias Club might not be amiss today. There is one thing, however, that the American press has a right always to expect from the White House—frank- ness. On occasion premature publica- lans of the adminjstration may ‘The White House may be ex- against such publica~ 1ot do away with e need of entffe’ frankness: at all truth, in the end, never no matter tion titled to the trutir to pass on to the peo- else, and should be promptly shown to be in the wrong. & A sycophantic press, ready to publish approbation is human, and so are the occupants of the Executive Mansion. ‘The President of the United States who cannot accept criticism when criticism may be warranted is unfortunate. A President invariably faces criticism. He cannot please all the people all the time. There is always the political op- position, seeking to discredit him and his administration. His greatest de- fense lies in the truth, unless he be at fault. In the end the most potent weapon of defense and offense on the part of the President is frankness in dealing with the press. Any attempted censorship of the news would be foolish and unwarranted and ineffective. On the other hand, there is every reason why the publication of an untruth should be branded promptly as a le. The country today is facing an emergency, due to business depression and consequent unemployment. The administration is secking in every way to alleviate the situation. Its every move is watched by the press. Poli- ticians are no less on the lookout, seeking to make capital out of the at- titude of the administration toward proposals advanced by individuals and groups of the people. The emergency,’ however, does not warrant a shutting down of information, but rather calls for the greatest frankness on the part of the heads of the Government in dealing with the people through the medium of the press. ———— By his garb Gandhi proclaims him- gelf a representative of humble en- deavor and no white-collar man. World Court and the Bar. Elsewhere in The Sunday Star it is indicated that the opponents of Ameri- can entry into the World.Court have taken fresh heart from the disappoint- ment, manifest even among its friends, over the recent decision in the German- Austrian tariff union case. Because of the closeness of The Hague vote, eight in favor ¢-d seven against, and on ac- count of the alleged political, rather! than the juridical, considerations which led to the verdict, there are suggestions that the tribunal has Jost prestige. Its foes in and out of the Senate have been prompt to exploit the result to their ad- vantage, and obviously intend to capi- talize it for the purpose of “veventing ratification of the Root protocol in the Senate next Winter. How ‘entirely unfounded are qualms that purely legalistic influences can never sway the World Court’s findings 1s lijustrated by the action of the Ameri- carr Bar. Assoclation in Atlantic City only two days ago.

In fis report the International Law Committee pointed out that the Root protocol offers ample protection to the United States in all cases before the World Court in which it may believe its interests jeopardized. It removes any objections that have been raised to American garticipation by making it impossible to render any opinions | 2gainst American claims of interest as ;long as the United States remains an { adherent. : | The Bar Association wholeheartedly { identified itself with the committee’s view that “the Permanent Court of In- | ternational Justice is the greatest of in- i ternational instrumentalities for the | preservation of peace and of justice be- | tween nations.” The committee report s0¢ | was submitted by James Brown Scott, its chairman, and Messrs, George W. Wickersham, John W. Davis, Manley O. | Hudson -and William Cullen Dennis. | These jurists represent varying political points of view. Like the Bar Associa- {tion, they stand for what is best in American public life, as well as in the law. They are types of men who yleld nothing to any Senate irreconcilable in patriotic high-mindedness. Neither as citizens nor as lawyers can they be charged with any less passionate desire to keep the. United States free of “for- eign entanglements” than the most sleepless senatorial guardian of the Re- public’s sovereignty. If there were any doubts ‘as to the effectiveness of the World Court as & safe administrator of international jus- tice, the American Bar Association’s ap- proval should suffice to banish them | from Capitol Hill for all time. —— e Police Morale. If the “morale” of the metropolitan police has been destroyed because of an attempt to stamp out the vicious and illegal practice of the third degree, of what stuff is that morale made? It is discomforting to learn that the executive council of the American Legion of the District has been in- formed, and obviously believes, that the morale of the police has been “dis- rupted” to such an extent that, since the institution of the present inquiry into the practice of the third degree, fewer arrests have been made. For the in- formation conveyed to the Legion comes from what must be accepted as excellent' authority. The authority for the state- ment.is Policeman Willlam McGrath, assigned as a clerk in the office of the corporation counsel at Police Court and whose honorable title as commander of the Police Post of the Legion entitles him to a volce within its inner couneil. Mr. McGrath is presunmbly in close touch with the police morale that, he says, has been disrupted. Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, U. 8. A, retired, views Mr. McGrath's pronounce- ment with alarm. Is it not one of the favorite devices of the boring-from- within Reds to bréak down the work of the officers charged with the.enforce- ‘ment of capitalistic laws? Does not such & condition provide fruitful ground for the seeds of radicalism and whatnot? Whither are we bound? Have faith in the police! Most of us have a faith in the police that is not necessarily bolstered by a fear of ,Gen. Fries’ Reds. It is un- necessary, as far as most of the people are concerned, to pass resolutions ask- ing for falth in the police. Faith in the police is pretty well established and is not shaken until members of the public that their nerves are jumpy, their sleep disturbed, their hands are tled, their tongues are swallowed and their “mo- rale”—poor thing—is shot to pieces be- cause of a concerted attempt to drive the rascals out. If one accepts as a premise the fact that police morale has been destroyed, it must lMkewise be accepted that the destruction of such morale has been caused by the investigation of the third . The conclusion, therefore, is that continued police morale depends upon freedom from investigation of. third-degree methods. Which reduces the “argument to a palpable sbsurdity. If-police morale has been destroyed because a prisoner charges brutal treat- ment by police, and the passive and complaisant attitude of police officials in the face of such charges leads to an investigation by the Department of Justice which reveals even more dirt, then such morale is not worth bother- ing about and the sooner it is de- stroyed the better. 1If police marale has-been destroyed, the police, and nobody else, are to blame. And if they continue to shout their outraged indignation over its de- struction, a long suffering public will begin to believe them and to accept as {a fact the statement that its police | | department has no morale. That, in the end, may be the out- | come of this unfortunate mess. A | police department cannot exist without | morale, for morale means disciplined self-confidence, zeal and pride in the courageous performance of duty. Once destroyed, morale must be rebuilt, It stands to reason that those who are responsible for the destruction of this | morale cannot be entrusted with the | | heavier responsibility of creating it |again. The police force must have an | | indestructible morale. Bullding i, | | maintaining it, begins at the top. | Morale is not miade by passing silly resolutions deploring its destruction. —————— Among his other business enterprises | Al Capone may be expected to have | a brokerage office -to facilitate kid- naping negotlations. B The Cars of Government Workers, Next Monday the Board of Archi- tectural Corsultants of the Triasury Department will meet to consider the question of providing parking or ga- rage space somewhere south of Pennsyl- vania avenue for the cars of the Gov- ernment workers who in & few years will be concentrsted in great numbers in bulldings located on the Mall-Avenue triangle. This is & very difficult prob- lem, the solution of which will require legisiation by. Coni o be effective. Numerous plans ve been proposed, ranging from huge garages in the base- ments of the Government buildings and under the streets to storage rooms under the Mgl itself. s Any comprehensive car storage facill~ in opposition. The few negative } ernment offices and for the benefit of the occupants of those buildings must be a Federal work, financed by the Treasury with appropriations made by Congress. There is no present contem- plation of private enterprise of this character. Indeed, it may be set down as impractical to look for privately maintained storage facilities, for which there is no avallable space. The only area suitable and, in fact, feasible for large-scale parking and ga- rage equipment is that now owned by the Government. Private garages for the proper care of Government workers’ cars, to be efficient, would have to be placed within a block or two of the offices themselves, which would mean the use of an immense area Wwithin the heart of the downtown business district. At the same time it has been urged that it is not incumbent upon the Government to build garages for the use of its workers, and that if Federal money is expended for this purpose there must be sufficient charges for storage service eventually to relmburse the Treasury, or at least to constitute & fair intefest return upon the in- vestment. It is contended by some that it is no concern of the Govern- ment whether its employes go to and from their places of occupation in their own vehicles, and that if they do so they must themselves find or provide storage for their cars. Large busi- ness concerns, however, have in some cities taken upon themselves the re- sponsibllity of providing garage ac- commodations for the cars of their employes, and have in some cases gone S0 far as to guarantee storage care of the vehicles of patrons and customers. At present there is a large but diminishing space within the so far cleared areas of the triangle for car storage at low rates. Within a few months, as contracts for excavation and foundation work get under way, all these places will have disappeared. There will then be left only the streets, which surely should not bé used for this purpose, and the roads of the Mall, which should be kept free at all times of standing cars. This matter must be settled quickly, and £ is to be hoped ‘that a practicable, compre- hensive plan will be prepared by the architects for submission to Congress at the December session for the most speedy action possible. ————— The Hoover blan to relieve unem- ployment by stimulating home build- ing will have a universal human appeal.

Mr. Gladstone found yearly refreshment in reading a novel by Sir Walter Scott that he had read in the impressionable years of his youth. It may be that in many instances we are more influenced by books than by personalities, but we are disposed to doubt }t. Certain it is that sweeping changes have come into human thought and practice through the pronounce- ments of some striking volume that has set forth & new theory or scheme of life. Most of us have books on our shelves that are thumbed and ear- marked, that we have-read and reread and that have played a icuous part in the forming of our pl hy of life. A friend of pine, who had been a great student of classical literature, always. contended that the ancient Greeks had a system or theory of life that had never been equalled or ex- celled. Aristotle and Plato to him were his chief sources of inspiration. . Re- peatedly he turned to them and found in their reasoning that which gave color and form to his own thought and practice. As he matured in life and one crisis after another attended his way, he began to find that there was something lacking in the great books he had studied*and upon which he had so-long leaned. Even in the face of this he would frequently combat our position when we questioned his sense ©of happiness and security in his chosen authors and with a good deal of heat defend them. At length there came a time when the situstion in his life became more critical than any that had gone before. He had been driven back and | solution of his grave p upen his 1 tions and had re- studied th find, if ible, the ms. One evening, seated with him in his library, he recalled the many discussions we had concerning the notable books that had been largely the basis of his reasoning and philosophy. Presently he brought to his table three books that bore evidence of long and intimate study. With a seriousness that was deeper than usual he opened the vol- ume and read from them certain paral- lel passages; the first was his well thumbed Aristotle, the second his long- pondered Plato, the third the writings of St. Augustine. As he read to us with fine discern- ment the several passages he observed in the writings of St. Augustine, the great Bishop of Hippo, their transcend- ence over reasoning of both the Efut Greek and their tler ‘vial?n of the mea: of life.

NEW YORK, September 19—The left wing of the Republican party is swinging into action for the 1932 presi- dential campaign. This threat of angther impending clash is creating a surprising lot of apprehension in the Hoover ranks. ‘There is ample "““::gn ‘l?:‘! the movement may be taking form.

(Copyright, 1931.) g Retail Credit Situation Seen to be Satisfactory BY HARDEN COLFAX. A survey of the retall credit situation throughout the country, made by the Government with the co-operation of private business, finds that this situa- tion on the wholg is more satisfactory than was to be expected from the gen- eral business outlook. As in the year 1930, during which two semi-annual reports of the Depart- ment of Commerce were issued on this subject, the figures of the present re- port, just made public, show that cur- rent obligations in the form of open credit and installment accounts “con- tinue to be paid in a satisfactory man- ner and new ones assumed in only slightly changed proportion to cash sales as formerly.” [ 5 M atent report s for the first half | of the current year.
