Who Financed March of Headline Folk and What Roosevelt’s Hand Seen in Auto Strike—C. I. O. W.P.A? Workers Appear Inno- cent Victims of Ex- ploitation. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. | HEN the Federal Govern- ment, wants to carry on an inquisition to find out almost anything under the sun, it usually succeeds in unearth- ing the invisible and exposing it to public view. i Yet 2.000 persons known as “work- ers” on the W. P. A. ean come to Washington from 24 different Etates in special trains and busses and carry on a march on the White House without. anybody knowing just who financed the episode and who instigated the affair. The mardh was under the aus- pices of the “Workers' Alliance of America” and if it was financed out of contribu- tions from workers on the W. P. A, it would ' be surprising to everybody. Usually & worker on the W. P. A. gets barely enough to live on and he doesn't get on the W. P. A. roll unless there is an inquiry which yeveals he does not have sufficient funds to finance himself. But the “Workers' Alliance of America” is something in the nature of a labor union and there have been & number of cities strikes of various character, including those of the ‘“sit-down” variety. If the Workers' Alliance is to be regarded a3 a labor union and if the Pederal Government is merelv an emplover to whom demands can be presented just. as in the case of any other labor organization, then the public fmpression of the W. P. A. as & relief agency is mostly erroneous. Financed By Dues. Tabor unions, however, are financed out of dues paid by their members. It is incredible that the W. P. A workers have enough monev to send delegates to Washington, but if this is so then the Federal Government is dealing with a vested interest which is seeking the increase of an appropriation without having the approval of the authorities in the particular department involved. Usually Government workers are pro- hibited from carrying on any kind of propaganda or applving any pres- sure on the Government when once the Budget Bureau has announced it recommendations If the Workers' Alliance. on behalf of the W. P. A. workers, petitions for the enlargement of an appropriation and the custom is now sanctioned. then it will be & precedent that will permit anv other Government em- ployes to carry on a public propaganda for their jobs and for increases in Government expenses. 1t the W. P. A. workers themselves did not have the money to pay for the march on Washington, then who did? What influences are interested in exploiting the unemployed or the W. P. A. workers? What organiza- tions are putting forth funds to em- barrass the handling of the relief problem by the Federal administra- tion? Red Influence Rumored. The President recommended that about $650,000.000 be paid out in re- lief in the present budget. whereas the Workers' Alliance wants it in- creased to $1.040.000.000. The peti- tion left at the White House makes 1t clear that this sum will provide for more workers and for an increased wage for those now on W. P. A. proj- ects. Obviously such an increase in the appropriation would also provide for & continuance of W. P. A. proj- ects which might otherwise be dis- banded. Are there any interests which supply mareri: or which stand to benefit by the continuance of the W P. A. that happen to be back of the march on Washington? Rumors are heard that Communistic influences or funds or both are back of the Workers' Alliance, but if this is true the Federa! Government, by this time, it would seem. might have found that out. The chances are it will be discovered that the W. P. A. workers themselves are the innocent victims of exploitation by organizations which believe in the turmoil of class war- Tare.

In Difficult Spot. It's a difficult choice for a commen- tator. If he warns against inflation, then he helps bring about the thing warned against. But if he consciously refrains from speaki after he feels inflation 1s on the way, then he does injustice to those whom he ought to It has always seemed to fhe & pity that while the expert and sophis- ticated are able to see inflation com- ing. and to guard themselves against it, the ordinary person who will suffer | most from inflation, does mot recog- | nize the signs. The warning which the sophisticated get for themselves ought condition are explained in many learned treatises. They include Gov- errment deficits and hence Govern- ment borrowing, low interest rates partly brought about by Government policy, Government manufacture of money in the form of bank credit, enormous stocks of gold. But these causes are in turn the effects of other causes. Mr. Lippmann describes an under- lying causes as consisting of two administration policies. The admin- istration creates new credit money, and thereby increases purchasing power. It does this by borrowing and paying persons on relief who do not | produce & corresponding quantity of goods, and by encouraging high wages in private employment. While the administration thus increases pur- chasing power, it at the same time follows & policy designed to restrict production of goods. It encourages | shorter working hours in factories and it pays farmers to produce smaller crops. These twn policies— increase of purchasing power and decrease of production—working si- multaneously, tend to bring high prices. Up to Administration. Whatever force there may be in Mr. [ Lippmann’s theory, the liability to in- ! rially higher in price. And if enough ' fgation springs from a deep underlying | condition. There is in the world a wide- | spread sentiment which thinks peopie shouid be able to get money without going through the process by which money is ordinarily acquired—the process of first producing goods. Or they wish to get more monev while producing less goods. There is also & sentiment which wants to get money by taking it away from those that | have it. This is the “dividing-up.” | “share the wealth” spirit. Regardless of whether it is justified or desirable, it has a definite economic effect. The sentiment exisis o such an extent that much of the current political philosophy and political leadership in many parts of the world yield to it. When it comes to the actual process to be made available to the average of dividing up, it is quickly seen that man But T have not answered the ques- tion. Mr. Walter Lippmann is fairly positive. He save “the country is in inflafionary boom.” And Mr, Lippmann adds that it is difficult to divide up physical property—it is not practicable to di- vide up Mr. Henry Ford’s factory, for example. So the more practicable thing is to divide money. To do this is comparatively simple. It can be those who do not know this “are living | done without many knowing it is being | in a fool's paradise.” Most certainly inflation in the beginning is & fool's paradise, and in the end is practically evervbody’s hell, Perhaps Mr. Lipp- mann did not intend to be as posi- might imply. He heads his article “Trouble Ahead” and this probably expresses the degree of his appre- hension. I am not sure I should put it as positively as Mr. Lippmann. It is & fact that most of the materials for sn inflationary boom are in existence. But I think it still may be averted. the people generally. Almost it can be said that if inflation is not in the minds of the people, it does not exist at all People Not in Mood. When a people become “infiation- minded” they begin to buy goods very rapidly, without questioning the price. Our people are not in that mood. Many makers and sellers of goods are marking them up in price, | but consumers tend to question the higher prices, complain of them and resist them.

Meeting informally with a special committee from the Community Chest, representatives of the nine hospitals affiliated with the Chest yesterday asked permission to put on a supple- mental campaign to meet lack of funds incurred because the Chest could not pay for all service rendered Chest pa- tients last year and to assure payment for similar cases this year. The hos- pitals represented were Emergency, Episcopal Eye. Eear and Throat; Georgetown Uniyersity, George Wash- Columbia, Chil- dren’s, Garfield, Providemce and Na- tional Homeopathic. Representatives of the hospitals calied attention to the inability of the | Chest to pay some $90.000 for service to patient: certified by the Central Admitting Bureau for Hospitals in 1036. They stated that, through fail- ure to achieve its goal thls year, in | spite of the special and urgent appeal | for hospitals, the Chest had been able to apportion only the same amount, $276,000, to hospitals as was appor- | tioned in 1936. They declared that | this indicates a deficit of at least i $90.000 in Chest payments to hospitals | again this year, and said that increas- | ing demands of a growing city might | increase the deficit. | Altention was calied to the increas- | ing number of flu cases in Washing- | ton, with the possibility of an epidemic | in the background. Attention was also | called to the inecreased population of | the ¢ity, and the fact that the Central | Admitting Bureau, in the first nine | months of 1936, certified more than | twice as many cases for hospitalization | as were certified in the whole of 1935, There were no indications, it was de- | clared, that this number would grow | less.

BY JAY FRANKLIN. HE Mississipp! River ia the most important single fact about North America. The basin of the great river is the heart and soul of the United States. This year finds us picking up the politics and eco- nomics of the Mississippi Valley just about where we left them at the outbreak of the Civil War. It is an extraordinary thing that the East, which lives by extracting wage-labor from men and minerals from rocks, should have -completely lost. sight of the overwhelming importance of the great valley between the Alleghanies and the Rockies. If the East thinks of )t at all it is as g sort of outlying farm devel- oped, for the sacred purpose of supplying Basterners with cheap food, petroleum and cotton. Yet even when we were & fringe of settlers on the Atlantic Coast, Jefferson saw that we must have the river, was ready fo ally himself with the hated British to drive the Prench from New Orleans, and violated the Constitution in order to acquire it for the United States by the Louisiana Purchase. Before the Civil War, the statesmanship of the valley was the only American statesmanship worthy of the name. Men like Ben- ton of Missouri, Stephen A. Douglas, and Abraham Lincoln were no accidents. They were the political product of a tremendously impor- tant geographical fact. The East bred politicians on the scale of the Hudson or the Potomac; the West bred statesmen of the dimensions of the Father of Waters. Those were the days when the Illinois Central represented a dream of empire as impressive as the Cape-to-Cairo railway imagined by Ceeil Rhodes, when the steamboat pilots on our inland waters Were popular heroes quite as impressive a5 any G-man or trans-Atlantic fiver. When Mark Twain wrote of the river he created the first great American literature. ~ The Civil War was fought. in large part. by the West fo restore traffic on the river, trafic which the Cor{ederates stopped at Vicksburg and New Orleans, as once the Spaniard snd the Frenchman had blocked jt. When Lincoln said, after Grant took Vickshurg, that the Father of Waters again flowed unvexed to the sea, ne spoke of a military achievement as signifi- cant as though the British had won the Dardanelles campaign. Without the river, the back of the Confederacy was broken and the Army of Northern Virginia, which could survive a Gettysburg could not survive the loss of Vicksburg. Since then, America has seemed to forget the river. Touns like Memphis which once lved in lusty glamour on its unregenerote waters have turned respectable and married the railrood. The army engineers have spent and are spending millions. ta heap the levees nigher and to drege the channel, but it is rather to profect New Or- leans from floods than to develop the wealth of the allumal valley. = s the Mississippi Basin has existed a the old feeling about slavery. The cities of the East have flung their banks and railroads across the mountains and have set the traffic of America running uphill, substi- tuting an artificial current from West to East for the natural North-South flow encouraged by geography. The railways have wiped the steamboals from the rivers and are even trying to regu- late freight rates on .the river barges s0 ax to protect earnings sacrificing natural economic advantages for Between North and South in political cleavage far deeper than - e .R—RL’Q-Q_’(/4/’%; on railway investments, Eastern dividends! Vi Yet the great valley is a geographical unit it must prevail over man-made disunity. The see the beginning of a new era in which the political life of North America will again be controlled by the conscious interests of the Mississippi Valley. The Roosevelt administration has alreadv set up a Mississippi Valley Committee, in anticipation of this trend. and a Mis- sissippi Valley Authority, like the T. V. A, is not impossible within the next few years. 8o great are the possibilities of further treatment in future celumns. For the moment. it is enough to suggest that what is happening in Washington will inereasingly reflect the desire of the people of our great river to protect and promote their common interests against Eastern banks and invesiments and against Eastern control of their political destinies.
