A. *The National Recovery Administration | % deserving of unreserved congratula- #ons today on the greatest single vic- tory it has achieved since the begin- ning of the New Deal. The dramatic truce effected between warring factions gn the traditional battleground of 1abor | disputes—the coal fields—puts into the‘ background temporarily, and it may be boped permanently, a serious menace to the recovery program. The truce an- nounced early today applies to the coal Qelds. But there are indications that 1 will be broadened and applied to all| eapital and labor disputes. It this is done there will have been ved at one stroke the ugly specter of widespread capital-labor war which, permitted to develop, would have eclipsed the aims of the recovery pro- am and perhaps destroyed its very dations. The President and ¥hose who labor with him are leaning heavily on the psychology of the New Deal tol help them win through. Had this peychology been changed from one re- flecting the confidence and faith of the people in better times to one marked by bitter disillusionment over the ap- parent impossibility of assembling a united front in the common war against the depression, the results would have been serious indeed. And when the history of these mov- ing times is set down, one of the in- tensely dramatic incidents will record the conference that took place here in Washington yesterday between that good right arm of the President—Gen. Hugh 8. Johnson—and those who rep- meented the opposing sides of the bat- §e that had already begun to rage in E:'Pennlylvlnh coal fields. It is said = on Thursday evening there was tle hope of any agreement and a fprious strike, involving perhaps 200,000 wmmdtymup!nmtry!nm rts of the country, was in prospect. ut yesterday evening shortly after six clock Gen. Johnson stepped into a with proposed terms of truce and @fter & flight that may become one of e epic themes of an era lald it before bis chief. “Never in history has a strike of such fhreatened proportions been settled so y and so generously,” said the esident. And seldom in history has 9ny leader been able to write down vic- tory in place of defeat under circum- stances that may be depended upon to ocount so much toward later gains. In the revolutionary readjustments now in progress, with established concepts be- ing ditched right and left in the pur- suance of a new and bold objective, no single class of employers or em- ployes may expect to stand in the way for long. The Nation has started on ® new course, and one of the certain- ties of the situation is that for the time being there will be no turning back. Only an optimist can believe #hat the truce in the coal flelds means the end of labor troubles in an industry where labor troubles have been no- torious. The truce does mean that both sides have wisely agreed to suspend hostilities until the nature of conces- glons, necessary on both sides, can be worked out, and until the cards of the Wew Deal have been dealt. This re- fres time. What has been done in e coal flelds can be done, and prob- fil}' will be done, in other fields. e — The assurance by W. C. Teagle, presi- t of Standard Oil of New Jersey, &:t he will do all in his power to carry gut the policies of President Roosevelt | earries a convincing force. It is not wsual for Standard Oil to seek associa- ,on with a business policy that does not [prove a success. —_—————— Counterfeiting. Ome of the meanest and most con- $emptible of crimes against government s that of counterfeiting. Analyzed to #s basic roots, it is found to be an gpproximation of treason. Obviously, has the social significance of theft. ‘0o cheat a person of his money is as prehensible as to pick his pocket. The W recognizes the full enormity of $he offense and the penalties are ap- provrtntety severe. The difficulty in the gircumstances is that of apprehending #he sponsors and distributors of the apurious currency. At present, competent authorities say, is a vast quantity of fake bank- and colns in circulation. The intry is flocded with the product of jcit engraving plants and mints. Made-to-order ten and twenty dollar bills gnd lead half dollars and quarters are being passed from hand to hand, and gome of the frauds are so skillfully de- #lgned that they are not readily de- fected. Their perfection. however, but to add to the danger which existence constitutes. Any threat %0 the stability of accepted methods d instruments of exchange is to be ted, but a deliberate, conscious and willful falsification of those media is perilous and therefore should De the object of organized public op- Pposition. Bank clerks, trained to detect coun- Qerfeits, rarely are deceived. It is yather busy cashiers in large stores and @aall tradesmen who are victimized. The rogues who specialize in the fake- money racket generally operste during the rush hours, when hurry creates an ptmosphere of confusion suited to their purposes, and they prefer to work in the ¥ poorer, less sophisticated neighborhoods. It would be an error to underestimate their intelligence. They are artists in cunning, inordinately clever in their nefarious business. Vigilanoce is the only protection svall- able. Every man, womsn and child should make it a duty to examine with care every bill and coln offered for change or in change. It is possible to develop a technique of inspection. The numbers of false banknotes are pub- lished from time to time, and they should be remembered. Fake dimes, quarters and half dollars usually can be identified because of faults in design and difference in weight. Bad money frequently, if not always, has “a strange feel’—sensitive fingers can detect its “queer” quality. A philosophy of skep- ticism is to be commended where any doubt, however indefinite or intangible, exists. It is the part of wisdom to re- fuse currency which does not “seem quite right.” The Government is waging s relent- less campaign against counterfeiting. In that commendable and necessary enterprise it deserves the support of the people. ———————— 1914 and 1933. Nineteen years ago this morning the world awakened to the dread realization that overnight Germany and Austria had plunged Europe into war and into a conflict doomed to rage through four terrible years before its force was spent. Today it 1§ Germany and Austria that again claim Europe's agitated atten- tion, though under circumstances differ- ent from those which produced the catastrophic developments of August, 1914. The two situations have this in common: Germany is again the aggressor party, and to thwart certain of her activities there are leagued some of the same powers that combined to thwart her on the earlier occasion. It is the excesses of the Naxl govern- ment at Berlin which have provoked consideration of protest action. The Hitler regime is under fire on two counts. In both instances Pascist Ger- many is charged with violating World War peace treaty obligations. Two of the allied powers, France and Great Britain, believe thensselves to be in pos- session of indisputable evidence that German factories, at government insti- gation, are engaged in the production of machine guns, tanks, poison gas and fighting airplanes—all of these arma- ments and weapons specifically pro- scribed by the terms impased upon the Reich by the treaty of Versallles. The violation of that proscription would be serious enough in itself. When it is aecompanied by repeated and undis- guised threats by Hitler and his author- ized spokesmen to recover for Germany some day by force that of which the Nazis contend she was unrighteously despoiled, then the illegal re-arming of Germany in stealth becomes a concrete menace to European peace. The French and British governments are carefully scrutinizing the resultant situation and from both Paris and London come indi- cations of impending joint diplomatic action to deal with it. Not long ago the British secretary of war, Lord Hailsham, hinted significantly in the House of Commons at the “sanctions” that might have to be invoked against a treaty- breaking Germany. Not only France and Great Britain, but Italy, are consulting on the situ- ation provoked by truculent Germany— the Nasis’ impudent attempt to de- throne the Dollfuss government in Austria ané “co-ordinate” that country into the Hitler state. PFor months Ger- man airplanes have been raining propa- ganda leaflets on Austrian towns and cities for the deliberate purpose of stir- ring up strife against Chancellor Doll- fuss and agitating in favor of a united Germanic state under Nazi rule. From neighboring Bavaria, official soil of Hit- lerism, Nazi radio propaganda of the same tenor is nightly blared into Austrian ears. Under the direction of Hitler’s “inspector for Austrian affairs,” a systematic campaign for the Nasifi- cation of the old Hapsburg empire, or what is left of it, is under way within the country, though Chancellor Doll- fuss’ stern repressive methods have con- trived more or less to keep the seditious movement in check. Germany under the peace treaties is obligated not to violate the indepen- dence of Austria and is specifically re- quired to abstain from attempts to ab- sorb or unite with that country. Late dispatches indicate that in addition to a two or three power protest against German re-arming, the French, British and Italian governments think the time has come for a vigorous remonstrance at Berlin against Nazl designs on Austria. It is inconceivable that ‘even Hitler | would permit matters to drift to & point where the three western powers would be required to employ force against Germany, but the peril of such a con- tingency cannot be wholly excluded at this hour when the world sadly recalls the cutbreak of the Great War nine- teen years ago this week. It is a pain- ful thought that world peace in August, 1933, should be threatened from the self-same quarter in which it was wrecked in August, 1914. And the im- mediate course of events will be watch- ed with corresponding anxiety every- where. Records are usually interesting, but a hot wave record fails to appeal with any satisfaction, even to the most alert sporting inclination. A New Gliding Record. A German glider has established & new world record of thirty-six hours in the air without power, The previous record was 21 hours and 34 minutes, established in Hawail in 1931 by Lieut. Willlam Cocke of the United States Army. This extraordinary achievement was unexpected even by the fiyer, Kurt Schmidt, a young student of philosophy, who had constructed his sail plane him- self. He took aloft with him only a few slices of black bread and a bottle of water. The favorable weather and the steady winds encouraged him to continue his flight back and forth on a course less than four miles in length. He flew until a storm threat- ened and he was forced to descend, otherwise he would probably have made at least forty hours. The Germans have done some ex- traordinary things in powerless flight. ‘They took it up as a means of training air pilots under the restrictions of the Versailles treaty, which forbade the development of aviation in that coun- try for possible military purposes. It was rated as a sport, but it had a very definite practical purpose. After & THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATUDAY, limitation upon the possi! form of human flight. Tear Gas and Fake Bombs. Coincident with the tear gas outrage in the New York Btock Exchange yes- terday occurs the arrest in Boston of four men who are believed to have been implicated in the affair, with the dis- covery of what are described as “fake bombs” addressed to the President, fo former President Hoover and to Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for Presi- dent last year. Nothing is in evidence to indicate a murder plot. The loosing of gas into the exchange was not cal- culated to effect more than discomfort and the closing of the market. The “bombs” found in Boston were quite innocuous. A letter written from New York to one of the group by the evident leader, who is now in custody, hints at “publicity,” which would appear to refer to the Stock Exchange incident. These men have acknowledged their member- ship in the “Commoner or International Party.” That is a new organization, at least a new title. Just what its aims are can be only guessed from the tear gas and the fake bombs. Perhaps this BY CHARLES E.

Inquiry is under way to ascertain the source of the tear gas which by some ingenious means was introduced into the ventilating system of the Stock Ex- change. It is supposed to be manufac- tured and distributed only to police authorities and others with legal war- rant for its use against disorderly | assemblages and criminal attacks. While the gas itself can perhaps be made in any small laboratory, the apparatus for its use is not easily fabricated or imi- tated. There has evidently been a leak from the source of supply, and this is & point which calls for searching inves- tigation. —_————— Ballots cast by Louisiana voters on constitutional amendments last Novem- ber are only now being counted.

SHOOTING STARS. BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Duty’s Call. The question comes: “What can I do To show an earnest heart and true? Is there some great and gallant deed To offer in an hour of need?

Even if we tried we couldn’t find anybody smart enough to get ahead of him.” Jud Tunkins says history repeats it- self; but the public never pays enough attention to recognize signals that it's about to start the same old story.

They may be lost or strayed, but very seldom deliberately stolen.” “We all hope to dwell in & better world,” said Hi Ho, the sage of China- town. “In order to deserve so much we must strive to show that we can take more intelligent care of it than we have taken of this one.” Eagles.

Having attalned its maximum height, every blade would remain in place as xl\nuky as if held down by some invisible cker. A world of trouble would be saved and every lawn would be at its maxi- mum the season 5hrol18h. * * We can imagine no more silly scene to watch from sn airplane than a sub- urban community with various lawn mowers going clickity-clack. The clickity-clack would be lost at that height, but the backward and for- ward motions of the absurd insects be- low would be plainly visible. Every week, or maybe every five days, the same scene is enacted, all for no purpose except to the silly grass from “getting too high.” To make a lawn, indeed, is not the aim of grass. The lawnmaker must bend it to his will. That is why it re- sents it—keeps on growing, causing end- less mowing. Still it would be nice, would it not, to see the grass grow up and then quit, remaining perfect for a long time? * ok owow Even this state of perfection, perhaps, would not remove the problem of what to do about grass under trees. Varieties that do well in such situa- tions are those which have fine leaf structures. Many are almost hairlike in character, as usually grown, although possessing a nice color, and apparently plenty of texture. Country Seeks disagreeable brown or even gray color port do away with, but it can be supple- mented in early Fall with other varie- ties, so that the grass, as a whole, re- | States color during e tains some vestiges of the cold season. One must admit that this is a treat- ment for & psmpered lawn, but so many lawns are pampered nowadays! In the meantime, bare spots, and especially brown patches, caused by the excessive heat following a heavy rain, should be kept sprinkled lightly, not enough to keep them w;:g:nx. which is one of the troubles in first place, but just enough to make up for the thinness caused by guttering and heat. Reasonable Attitude Toward Markets Throughout the national discussion of sensational activities in stocks and rain it is apparent that the popular verdict upholds the view that the mar- kets should be conducted in such & way as not to interfere with the economic welfare of the country. Some sharp things are said about the speculators, while there are equally earnest nr';:- ments against arbitrary action. e effect of the value of the dollar enters in, while such things as crop conditions and the independent action of the so- called alcoholic stocks are mentioned. In the course of the arguments it is held that the markets have no effect on the problem involved in the recovery act. “Stocks should rise as commodities go up and industty resumes,” says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, “but there has been no justification for the boom they have enjoyed. The claim for it that the market has anticipated good times in 1934 is entirely too thin s disguise for the worst of all the na- tional evils.” The Philadelphia Eve- ning Bulletin remarks that “a grain exchange code is prepared and the stock market may anticipate further regulation, but the business of re- stabilizing industry can’t go on if the administration’s plan of recovery is to be used as the pea in a shell game.” The Glendale (Calif.) News-Press, as- suming that “the anties in the pits are quite apart from the process recov- ery,” advises that “in ordinary gam- bl the player has & chance, but in buying margin he very short.” “Nelther industry nor agriculture can function on the basis of a roulette wheel,” avers the Park (N. J) Evening Press, with the conclusion that “sound business demands natural prices, attuned to the general economic situ: spell losses for them, unless the stock. 1d or loaned on is handsomely mar- adds that “the chast] have neither forgotten nor sbandoned their favorite pastime of shearing the bs.” The Oklahoma City Times , “with the present laws ‘The Morgantown Dominion-News, how- ever, asserts that “the sound recovery that preceded the break still remains pulsating for a slow, steady climb dur- ing the rest of 1933.” Discussing the proceedings in the grain market, the Milwaukee Journal offers the opinion of the rules issued by the Chicago Board of Trade: “The two rules which count are that nograin price shall go below the closing market of July 20, and that fluctuation of any one day shall be limited—wheat and rye to 8 cents, corn and barley to 5 cents and oats to 4 cents. The cause of these drastic rules is two-fold. Prices moved down so rapidly, it is reported. that many brokers found they could not_sell ‘customers out fast enough to protect themselves. That was serious. No well-regulated game of chance should run against the house.” “Speculation should not be permitted to be the prevailing influence in the ,” contends the Fort Journal takes position: government of the exchanges, whether by their own rules or under a code, there is one fact that cannot be over- looked if serlous fluctuations are to be avolded. That fact is that generally a price collapse is the result of an up- ward movement with little to oppose it.

INSTEAD OF DICTATORSHIP (Pam- ). By Henry Hazlitt. New York: John Day Co. Mr. Hazlitt takes a modern business organization as an example and recom- by lation in times of crisis that have been leading in one country after another to the forcible seigure and ruthless | abuse of executive power.” His plan ! involves dispensing with Congress and the establishment in its place of a board of directors or coungil of twelve men. He says: “It is interes! to speculate upon the Ptohble member- ship of such a council if the plan were to be put into immediate effect. Here we enter the realm of pure guesswork, but let us put aside our personal me and say that our council, in order of its selection, might be something like this: Franklin D. Roose- velt, Herbert Hoover, Alfred E. Smith, William E. Borah, Ogden Mills, New- ton D. Baker, Albert C. Ritcl Huey Long, John N. Garner, Nicholas Mur- n{x Butler, Norman Thomas, Hiram Johnson, George Norris.” Certainly Mr. Hazlitt, if he has a sense of humor, must have been s broadly as he wrote this list. If he was entirely serious, he must have unlimited faith in the ibility of harmonizing dia- memul}y opposed elements. DEATH WHISPERS. By Joseph B. Carr. New York: The Viking Press.
