S. Mail “ trucks unmolested and protests came to the Postoffice Department, First Assistant Postmaster General Howes replied that . the department refused to risk the lives of its employe¢s by asking them to carry food into the picketed plants. That is “silly reasoning. When mail robbers were operating in the West some years ago, did that deter the department from sending mail into those infested places? No, in deed. They had men with backbone in high offices in those days. Congress is becoming somewhat rebel- lious. It recently has shown a disinclina- tion to “sign on the dotted line.” Former- ly Congress which is, or rather which was, designed te be the legislative body, pre- pared its own bills and legislative pro- but since the present administra- tion teek office on April 4, 1983, it has usurped the practice of Congress and fed into the legislative hopper every bill of importance, some of them bearing the dic- tatorial tag of “Must.” It looks as if the proverbial worm is going to turn, posals, of sadeg THE ALTERNATIVE TO ARMS Generally speaking we are among those who regret that the nations of the earth find it necessary to spend billions of dollars every year for armament. We are not among those who ask that this country refrain from such expenditures, There was a time when people had some reason to believe that a nation with- out the means of deferise was'feasonably safe in its territorial possessiongs {That day has passed. bodies in Manchukuo, Ethiopia and Spain. We believe that a strong navy and a pres pared army are necessary if the United! invite European} States does not want to powers to take over portions of South and Central America. Like it or not, we must face facts in: dealing with our world. Germany, Italy, Japan and possibly other countries today would not hesitate to use force as a method | of securing national aggrandizement. The only thing that would prevent them from running roughshod over some other nation would be the power of the other nation te defend itself. If we are to maintain our- selves in the world then the United States ve adequately armed for effective ense. The Presidents “of the United States, wm the dast.decades, have done everything pessibleto prevent an armament race. They have not succeeded. The United States has done what it could to develop a better feeling among the nations in the hope that this would remove distrust and sus- picion and lead to peace. We have tried to build up international trade as a method of preventing war. None of these policies can be called complete failures but neither can they, at this time, be termed success- ful. The only alternative that we can see today to a continued race between the great nations of the world is the estabiish- ment of an armed peace, backed if neces- sary by sufficient strength to make it ef- fective and supreme over any challenge. That nations: could go into such an under- taking is doubtful. Whether the people of this country would countenance American participation‘in such a power-act for peace is uncertain, but as an effort to avoid con- tinued armaments and unnecessary ex- pense the idea might be considered. We do not think that any effective pact could be arranged that would guar- antee frontiers because this would guar- antee frontiers because this would inyolve United such beyond the possibilities that the States, Great Britain, France and other nations as might be willing to _ i by the established rules of internationa trade could establish a force that would dominate oceanic trade. This force would be able to prevent overseas expansion that would tend to!interfere with equal trade opportunities, such as is the case with Jap- anese operations in Manchukuo and North China, tl the Italian undertaking in Ethiopia and the a flirtation with using shee strength almost sete ei could #xert a tremendous force for peace in the world. However, there must be no_hesi- tancy to use ships and guns if necessary to maintain the status sought and to let recalcitrant nations know that they are dealing with a fighting unit not a system of diplomatic protests. FOOLISH ATTACK It may be politics to some people but we see little sense in the recent attack up- on Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt by Rep. Hamilton Fish, Republican Representative from New York, who charged that she evaded taxes in connection with certain charity broadcasts. What are the facts? Lady, by contract, had the her radio broadcasts paid directly to aj} charity. In 1934, when she entered into the contract, it was submitted to Treasury | Well, the First officials, who ruled that no tax need be! paid, since she did not profit personally. In other words, Mrs. Roosevelt, who gave all her income from radio broadcasts to charitable uses, is cited by Fish in an effort to make people believe that she is guilty of the same kind of evasion that rich men have adopted, not to give any- thing to charity, but to save their money | for themselves. Its demise is marked by dead E However, it is not }. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN You and Your. | Nation’s New Deal in their own, pol- iticians of the opposition in every country attribute the disaster to the sins of the poli- cians then in power, In our country. Mr Hoover and the Republica party were to blame; in Great) Britain, the Labour Government; in New Zealand, the Coalition Govern- ment of J. W. Forbes and J. G. Coates. Reminding one of the naive question of Jesus’ disciples: “Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” In New Zealand, Messrs. Forbes and afte- consultation with local) ts, adopted a program of retrenchment, reduction of costs, | and monetary deflation — later | changed to devaluation of the pound but as recovery was delayed they were severly defeated in the elec- tions of November, 1935, by the La- bour Party and the small farmers or “cockies” who, according to Profes- sor 8B. E. Murphy, are “a notoriously grasping and self-centered section of our people” A farmer-iabour party, therefore, is once more in power. though far more socialistic than that of the ‘nineties. Also, the man now in the saddle, the Rt. Hon. M. J. Sav- age, is no mere reincarnation of John Balance, but a far more formidable personality, ready to ride rough-shod over all opponents and determined, at all costs, to transform New Affairs New Zealand By J.

They have obtained control over the redit and currency of the Dominion; Gaae compulsory a gina disputes and put tee! iff established ‘basic wages for males at females; made a 40-hour week compulsory for practically all indus- tries; and have gone far toward mak~- ing union membership compulsory for all professions. For the benefit of the farmers they have established a governmental mar- keting scheme with guarantee of minimum domestic prices, the sur- pluses to Le sold abroad at the best prices obtainable, and the deficits, if | any, to be made up out of Reserve , Bank credit. Then there are acts for the relief of mortgagors and lessees, for the prevention of profiteering, for the promotion of industrial efficiency, and for governmental con! ot broadcasting. In brief, as Donald Cowie writes in “The Quarterly Re- view,” the government has obtained “complete jurisdiction over the in- dustrial and commercial life of the country.” Drastic legislation, surely! Anc' yet, because of world recovery and rising prices of wool and dairy produce, the Dominion has recently had a measure of prosperity and it has been possible, as revenues increased, to balance the budget. For all of which the Labour Government takes full credit, even as Rostand's chantecler thought that, by crowing, he made the sun to rise. ‘ Whi.. the outcome of all this radical and experimental legislation will be mo man can tell. but there is ground for apprehension because of rising prices and costs of living, increased taxation, idle capital, and scarcely diminished unemployment. There is still left the important question of distribution. It will not take care of itself under modern con- ditions. But in our anxiety about proper interest, rent, profits and into a New Jerusalem. Before the elections, like all aspir- ing politicians, Mr. Savage promised more than he could perform, but since wages we should not lose sight of the fact that as yet national production is inadequate, no matter how we ar- range for its division.
