POLITICAL SPOILS HIT ATTOWN HALL Dr. Bohn Says Battle for New Democracy Has Just Begun. Announcing that he was 100 per cent with the Roosevelt administra- tion in its efforts,. to better the lot of the average man, Dr. Prank Bohn, au- thor, lecturer and former college pro- fessor, declared before tae Town Hell of Washington held in the Shoreham Hotel last night that “we must eradi- cate the spoils system in the Nation and particularly here in Washington.” Dr. Bohn made this statement dur- ing the period of questioning that fol- lowed his address, entitled “The Amer- ican Reply to Communism, Hitlerism and Fascism,” in which he expressed the faith that the people of the United States would lead the world to a bet- | ter democracy. “I fear the spoils system more than any other thing in the conquest of economic democracy,” declared Dr. Bohn. i As a remedy for another twin evil, the political machine, especially in the large cities, Dr, Bohn said that it takes its rise because of the ignorance | of the people, who have it in their hands to expunge the evils, As an| antidote for this, he urged wider edu- cation. Battle Just Begun. | Surveying for his audience “the | black tyranny,” which he said exists | today in Russia, Italy and Germany, Dr. Bohn said that “the battle for the | new American democracy is only be- gun” and insisted that “the New Deal cannot be won in two years—it may take 20 years, 30 years.” He told his hearers that “no 22 months in history has done so much.” “If we lose this fight our children wili have to take up the struggle under | conditions not nearly so advantage- | ous,” sald the speaker. “Many a simple-minded American looks upon the New Deal as an antidote. This interpretation misses the main point. ‘The New Deal is a regeneration of the material and spiritual forces of the | Nation and, hence, of our whole people | and is the most vital process of their | history. For half a century we have | been as a people perishing from the | earth. There are fewer first-rate Americans alive today than there were | at the time of the Civil War. As| Emerson said, machinery has been in the saddle and has ruled mankind. | ‘We are now determined to rule the | machinery.” | Sees Germany as Tragedy. | Delivering his address following the | expounding of Communism, Hitlerism and Fascism, given by speakers on | previous Sunday nights before the town hall, Dr. Bohn characterized the | present situation in Germany as “the | greatest single tragedy known to mod- | ern times.” He said that had it not been for the Polish Corridor and rep- arations the German Republic would have lived. This brought applause | from the audience. Germany, he said, | is now “a traitor to civilization” and emphasized that both his parents were German and he bore no ill-will toward | the nation. Of Russia Dr. Bohn said that “Marx never taught that you could take a backward peasant people—1,000 years behind Western Europe—and make | them into industrialists in five years.” Lenin and Trotzky, he contended, “never understood Marx.” Senator Costigan, Democrat, of Colorado, a member of the panel, in- sisted that the speaker was confusing American ideals with American prac- tice and cited his own experiences in Colorado, where people are denied civil rights under an industrial autoc- racy. There is a fight under way in | Congress, he said, for an anti-lynch | law so that millions can get a fair | trial. | Would Defend Rights. | Dr. Bohn's remedy for this was to do battle for constitutional rights every day and expressed his faith that “this land will not surrender.” William E. Sweet, former Governor of Colorado, now associated with the | Public Relations Division of N. R. A., attempted to draw Dr. Bohn into a | discussion of freedom of the press under the present governmental regu- lation, but the speaker conceded that | he has not read the newspaper code. Mrs. Florence P. Kahn, Republican, of California, another member of the panel, wanted to know what Dr. Bohn proposed to do about the spread of pernicious doctrines by the educators and he replied that “the attacks upon the schools are not greatly important” and said he never personally has met a teacher spreading un-Americanism. | Dr. Prank N. Trager, former Johns | Hopkins University professor, another member of the panel, objected to Dr. Bohn comparing the situation existing in Europe with what is projected in America and said that the comparison should be on the basis of realities. ‘The automobile codes are being ex- tended without the collective bargain- ing clause, said Dr. Trager, and the unemployed have not economic freedom. ® “If people do not battle for their freedom, they are going to lose it,” said Dr. Bohn. Benator Barkley, Democrat, of Ken- tucky, speaking from the floor, wanted to know how Dr. Bohn proposed to give workers a greater share in the new industry. The doctor replied that the task of organizing labor is one of the greatest facing the Nation. He said that labor has a great future, but | 1t must prepare for it. Presiding was Dr. John W. Stude- | baker, United States commissioner of education. 01d Vases Bring Help.

TONARKFOLNDING Jane Addams and Other Leaders to Be Honored Here May 2. The 20th anniversary of the Wom- en's International League will be cele- brated this year in every part of the world. Jane Addams, the honorary international president of the organ- ization which she helped to found at The Hague in 1915, will be the central figure of the observance. The principal celebration in the United States will be held in Wash- ington May 2, with Mrs. Harold L. Ickes, chairman of the committee, in charge. The United States section of the Women's International League, of which Mrs. Hannah Clothier Hull is president, is inviting leaders in every field of activity to gather here on that date to honor Miss Addams and the American women who took part in the founding of the organization, Among the 30 Americans who are charter members of the league are | Grace Abbott, formerly chief of the Children’s Bureau; Dr. Sophonisba | Breckinridge of the University of Chi- | cago, and Dr. Alice Hamilton of the Harvard Medical School. Mrs. Ickes has announced that plans for the observance in Wash- ington include a reunion of the charter members for the first time since 1915, a demonstration by the youth sections of the league honoring the achievements of the founders and forecasting future gains, and an anni- versary dinner in honor of Miss Addams, at which tributes to her work for peace will be paid by out- standing men and women. Miss Addams was awarded the Nobel peace prize with Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler in 1932. Miss Mabel Vernon is chairman of the committee planning the anniver- sary observance by all national sec- tions. In the 20 years of its existence the Women's International League has organized throughout the world and now has national sections in 25 THE EVENING “STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

LIQUOR FOES APPEAL FOR BATTLE ON VICE Mrs. William Tilton Issues Plea for Combined Efforts Against “Wide-Open Towns.” Warning. that “wide-open” towns would “syphon off money needed for home and necessities into drink and gambling, thus making & poor outlook for the $4,000,000,000 relief appropria- tion,” Mrs. Willlam Tilton, chairman of the Woman’s National Committee for Education Against Alcohol, today sent to.large women's organizations throughout the Nation a demand for restoration of “Wholesome America.” “Today about 20 States either have legalized or are moving to legalize horse-track gambling,” she declared, “a national lottery bill is before Con- gress; several large cities are consid- ering the opening of segregated vice districts, and most States allow saloons or their equivalent.” “The country needs a woman's brain trust teaching a destitute peo- ple that first aid to public relief is a wide berth to wide open towns. Clean house. Close up your town. Get pub- lic relief into home and necessities.” —— King to Give Prize. King George of England will award, each half year, beginning next July, prize, to be known as the King’s medal, to the flight cadet at the Royal Air Force College, Cranwell, who ob- tains the highest aggregate marks at the final examination.
