Spain seems determined to fight it out to the last Spaniard. Then will the Moors take over the country again, or will it go to Mussolini? President Roosevelt is taking over the functions of the clergy. He is preaching the doctrine of the good neighbor, good- will, whjch is the foundation of morality. Dinner Key, if there is any thing in a name, is the choice of this gastronomist. Nor is Woman Key to be overlooked. Per- haps there are other keys equally alluring, including the Seven Keys to Baldplate. It is an ill wind that blows no man to good. Crumbs from the Crummer table have enriched the depleted pockets of sev- eral Key Westers. And how those boys keep mum about the size of the wad, as if nobody knew. Walter Winchell scores Morton Downey for rhyming ‘named’ with “came” and “home” with “one.” Yet the columnist is equally censurable for rhym- ing “ladies”, a two-syllable word with “rabies”, having three syllables. A Traveler is something that travels; so is a Pilgrim. In view of that fact, aren't the local ferries, bought in the dim and distant past, misnamed? Interned since their purchase by the FERA, they have traveled alright, but under an as- sumed name. All during the presidential campaign, a son of Pres\dent Roosevelt was employed by Hearst, who is a bitter opponent of the president. Now John Boettiger, the presi- dent’s son-in-Jaw, has been made managing editor of the: Post-Intelligencer, a Hearst- controlled newspaper in Seattle. Evident- ly the Roosevelts, the Hearsts and the du Ponts do not let their politics interfere with their business, or love, for that mat- ter. The American Federation of Labor which has just closed its ‘convention *in Tampa, characterized its host city as “a city where civil liberties have been most seriously and persistently violated.” Tampa had such criticism coming to her, and the Tribune says that it-is unfortunately true ! might have be | ulation in the WHAT TUGWELL WANTED Now, that it’s all settled, and Prof. Rex Tugwell is leaving public life for pri- vate business, it is possible to regard that much-discussed gentleman more calmly and appraise him more accurately. It appears, from all available infor- mation, very doubtful that he was ever either so dangerous a “red” or so im- portant a factor in American government } He was/} oc- | as he was rated by his critics. and is, pretty liber}, and he has on casion done some fhinking ‘out loud that ‘ rely interesting spec- ae ‘oom but sounded dan- gerous in a public address. Some of the things he has done*are doubtless unwise. Yet on the-whole, the sort of things he did and urged were things accepted without excitement in other free, self-governing countries like England, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Canada. He explains him- self thus, as a friend of private capitalism: “Everything that I have sponsored or originated in the way of legislative action has been with a view to securing a more permanent and stabilized operation of American industry and agriculture. It has been constantly before me that American industry cannot go on indefinitely ‘half boom and half bust’, and that production and employment in industry must be stabil- ized, relatively at least, if permanence is to be given to the capitalistic system. A nation with 10,000,000 unemployed cannot boast of a stabilized prosperity; and until work has been found for the greater part of this number, with their potential pur- chasing power for the goods that industry produces, it is idle to talk prosperity.” Most of us can agree now about that, anyway. Most of us are in favor of any reasonable device for flattening out the economic cycle, avoiding the periodic booms.and busts, that can be accomplished without giving up our system of free en- terprise and civil liberty. TVA DIRECTORS CLASH According to James McMullin, a well- known New York newspaper syndicate correspondent, Arthur E. Morgan, chair- man of the Tennessee Valley Authority, has become a severe critic of his col- league, David E. Lilienthal, director in charge of the Authority’s power program. It is well known that Moran recently 8 appealed to President Roosevelt in an at-|* tempt to prevent Lilienthal’s reappoint- ment, but without success. Now Morgan is quoted as criticizing Lilienthal for get- ting the TVA involved in polities. Lilienthal is further: charged with spending ridiculously large sums to pro- ‘mote the use of TVA power in_ several Southern towns, the promotion cost in Tupelo, Miss., for example, having been about four times the total annual domes- tic consumption of electricity, it is said. Morgan is also quoted as expressing . disagreement with Lilienthal’s “yardstick” | theory and with his policy of forcing pri- vate utilities to sell their distribution s; tems to the TVA under threat of ruinous competition if they refuse. McMullin’s article, syndicated to a large number of leading daily newspapers, also states that Morgan agrees with pri- vate power executives that TVA electric production is so highly subsidized through absence of taxation, and the charging of costs to other activities of the Authority, 'ete., that it is unreasonable to expect pri- vate companies to compete with the gov-| Gulf of Mexico, but a strong high} 18 ernment rates which Lilienthal has estab- | Pressure area, crested this morn-| geiteq, lished. “ *EARNED “SOCIAL ‘SECURITY” It would seem that “social security” is destined to be a political issue for a long time to come. Within the parties there is considerable internal dissension as to what is the proper program to pursue. _In the antime, millions of Amer- ican citizens@re-quietly and effectively achieving so¢@ial security for themselves ‘without benefit of government. ’ The¥ are setting up trust funds and savings accowpts:’ They are buying life insurancé’in gprecedented amounts—and more and mi of the insurance sold is of the annuity type which provides old-age income as well as protection for de- that Tampa must plead guilty to the} pendents. charge. It is now up to the west coast city not to remain passive under the circum- stances but to see that these violations do not occur again and if any should occur, the good citizenship of the community must not allow the perpetrations to go un- punished. | This is not an argument against gov- ernment security, which is believed to be ‘a compelling need of the time. It is, how- ever, a tribute to that old type of Amer- ican independence which guards against the future through individual thrift, fore- sight and good hard work. : You and You The growth of this country in ipop- ulation and well-being has long ex- c.ted the admiration and envy of the rest of the world. This growth possession of vast natural resources, but na‘ural re- sources alone do not make a nation great and strong. as the case of China wel) gerionstrates. Our growth has been due in greater part to the fact that the country sto7¢ for certain fundamental principles that made a great appeal to ranking. it stood for religious, political. and economic freedom (with some notable exceptions, as in‘ the case of negro slaves). The door of opportunity were to be kept open; there were i» be no insurmountable barriers. be- tween classes, as in so many foreign countries; men were to work for a living, and t. be rewarded reughly in proportion to their-labor, and ability; and there was to be the minimum of government interference in the lives a. affairs of Hee Cit i The upward progress. t..e.coun- try has Sargent book inferrupted by periods of severe industrial de- pression that sorely. tried men’s souls. but once the necessary readjustments had been made the country resumed its forward march. reachirg new heights of prosperity.’ During these depressions the unemployed and their families ti,htened their belts, anc with the help of relatives. friends, and local relief agencies weathered the storm. } Nation’s Affa The Primrose Path By ELIOT JONES vp Professor of Transportation and Public Utitilies, Stanford University .* s wuring recent yeans 4, different Soirit has been abroad in the land. The present-day philosophy is that people have a right to material com- fort; that they are entitled‘to a more abundant life, whether or no they labor diligently to earn it To this end the New Deal has greatly extended the interference uf the Government in economic mat- | as many links in the oversea high-} com; ters. It has carried on nurherous and ill-conceived experiments; it has im- posed many burdens on private in- dustry; it ha even entered into com- petition with certain types:of private enterprise: it has discouraged initia- tive, self-reliance, and thrift. qualities that have helped to make this nation what it is; and, worst 2f all, it has weakened the moral fibre of the peo- ple by encouraging them to become dependent uron the Government. The exponents of the New Deal ask us to consider whether individually we are not better off from & material standpoint than we were before the Néw Deal was inaugurated. That most le are. is quite true, although ‘t is alsc true that they would probably have been better off in 1936 than they were in 1933, even had there been no Covernment parternalism. Moreover. there can be no doubt that we will be .much worse off. in the years to come than.we were in 1933, if the view that men are entitled to.2 more abundant life’ without regard to their willing- ness to strive for it gains general ac- ceptance. If relief is administered so that, it. becomes: preferable to. gainful labor. the national character will de- teriorate to such an extent that the more abundant life will become an impossibility. The people have just held an elec- tio. in which these vital issues were at stake. and they have decided by an overwhelm:n~ majority to continue ‘fc: the present) on the primrose path. ® (Address questions to the author care of this newspaper) eeooocecsee oo t 2 B.
