If there is anything more contemp
tible than an ordinary sneak thief it
is the "two-time" lawyer who, with
snug hypocrisy, represents both sides
in a controversy, and gets a fee from
both ends of the line. He is even
lower down in the ethical scale than
an ambulance chaser.
TIMBER-SAVING STUDY
It is said that the overproduction
of our forest products is a grave
problem. It is. That is why the first
meeting of the National Timber Con
servation Board, recently appointed
by President Hoover, is now called
upon to study timber saving. The
board now is in session. It is com
posed of leaders in the forest indus
tries and in the forest conservation
movement. It will consider the eco
nomic problems which confront the
lumber and other wood-using indus
tries. It will endeavor to ascertain
fundamental facts upon which may
be devised practical ways and means
for bringing about a stabilization be
twen production and consumption of
lumber and other forest products.
According to Franklin W. Reed,
an expert authority, the forest in
dustries represent a capital invest
ment of more than $10,000,000,000
He says that the gross value of their
annual production of lumber, pulp
and paper, naval stores and other
commodities in daily use is close to
$4,000,000,000. These industries
employ, all told, about 2,000.000 per
sons and nearly one-tenth of the
country's population is dependent up
on them for support. Their raw ma
terial is the timber grown on 500,
000,000 acres, or one-fourth of the
country's land area. They rank sec
ond in importance only to the textile
industries. In number of producing
plants and workers they are second
only to agriculture.
This writer asserts that there is
a surplus of forest products and that
chaos threatens for our future gen
erations unless wise councils prevail
with reference to forest production
and conservation.
The National Board is to inquire
into these pressing matters. They
will report their recommendations of
national policy. It is to be hoped
that this great industry may be pie-
served in full usefulness. The for
jests can be conserved. The fact that
the larger part of the timber supply
is held in private ownership should
not stand in the way of a solution
in a matter which so vitally affects
so many of our citizens. That this
will not be the case is evidenced by
the fact that the study was initiated
primarily by the parties in interest,
and not by the Government.
LAME-DUCK SESSIONS DOOMED
Prior to the existence of railways
there was some excuse for the delay
I of many months between election of
Congress and its first sitting, and
thus for the "lame-duck" session fol-
lowiS an election. But for 100 years
that excuse has not been valid' 'et
the provision remained effective, be
cause it was in the Constitution and
consequently considered sacred,
The Senate many times has passed
resolutions to advance the dates of
sessions and abolish the lame-duck
nuisance. But the House has been
I adamant in its adherence to outworn
customs until Tuesday. Then, by the
astonishing vote of 2S9 to 93, the
House voted to initiate the constitu
tional amendment.
Differences of opinion remain in
the Senate about the details of the
resolution. Speaker Longworth's mo
tion, adopted in the House, to pro
vide for a short second session in
even years, giving time for party con
ventions and campaigns, may make
trouble. But there is no reason what
ever why the Senate should not pass
the measure and permit it to be sub
H
muted to the states for ratification
at once. We have had lame ducks
for 140 years, and that is quite long
enough.
:o:
MR. SNOWDEN'S ULTIMATION
The warning of Philip Snowden,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, that
the British labor party must modify
its social problem in order to bring
about better times signifies evidently
Li a . m -
lnal lue government nas almost ex
hausted its financial anility to meet
further drains for employment and
other relief. He indicated that all
economic branches, except industry.
must make sacrifices. His remarks
are almost capitalistic.
Two facts are conspicious in his
declaration for a change in policy.
The first is that Britain had to make
a choice between paternalism and
revolution and that it took the only
prudent course, which was to give
the dole. In a sense, it was an im
perative choice between two evils.
The second fact is that in due time
the financial and other drains of so
cialistic paternalism would reach the
stage necessitating a return to nor
mal and conservative measures. The
really striking feature is that, the
warning should come from the chan
cellor of the exchequer in the labor
ite administration.
:o:
Many tragedies are enacted these
days because of the common opinion
that laws made for the control of the
wicked should not meddle with the
habiti of nice people.
HOOVER AND MUSCLE SHOALS
Mr. Hoover complains that the 10
year battle to put the Government
into the power business at Muscle
Shoals has made a political issue out
of this question out of all proportion
to its economic significance either to
the people of the Tennessee valley or
those of the United States.
We agree that Muscle Shoals has
become a political issue, but we do
not agree with Mr. Hoover that its
importance to the country has been
exaggerated. We agree with Samuel
Untermyer, whose recent address be
fore the University Club of Los An
geles, that nothing else exceeds in
importance exactly suc h a demonstra
tion as Muscle Shoals promises that
power can be produced for from one
half to one-third what the country
is paying for it, if it can be taken
out of the greedy clutches of profit
eers and spared the super-charges im
posed upon it by high finance. This
is what has made Muscle Shoals a
political issue. The great political
industry, whose racket is, in the
words of Senator Dill of Washing
ton, literally "picking the pockets
of the people," cannot afford to have
any such yardstick as Muscle Shoals
threatens to become laid down beside
its scale of prices.
Mr. Coolidge also thought the im
portance of Muscle Shoals was exag
gerated, but he did not slight its im
portance to the power industry. To
him is attributable the greater part
of that period in which a public in
vestment of $160,000,000 has gone
absolutely unproductive. Mr. Hoo
ver's position differs from that of Mr.
Coolidge only in being somewhat
more courageous. He will not, ap
parently, submit the bill now before
him to a pocket veto. He is disposed.
or seems disposed, to accept Muscle
Shoals as a political issue and end
the bill back to Congress with an
emphatic protest against putting the
Government into the power busi
ness. There is a degree to which we in
dorse Mr. Hoover's sentiment in this
espect. We do not believe that the
Government ought to be in all sorts
of business. Nevertheless, its first
obligation to the people is to protect
them. It is as much its duty to pro
tect them from predatory interests
within the country as it is to defend
them against forces from without the
country. Muscle Shoals is, as Mr.
Hoover says, something more than a
mere hydro-electric power plant. He
calls it a symbol, and that is precise
ly what it is. So was Died Scott a
symbol, and so has every great pub
lic issue been somehow symbolized.
We do not know what the Presi
dent means when he says the effect of
the agitation over Musc le Shoals has
been to "sidetrack effective action on
the Federal regulation of interstate
power in co-operation with the
states." Apparently he refers to a re
commendation in his annual message
to Congress in December, 1929. when
he said the authority of the Federal
Power Commission should be extend
ed to certain phases ot power regu-
lation. The Federal Power Commis-
sion at present has no authority to
regulate interstate power. The Couz
ens bill contained this among other
features, but Senator Couzens has
not brought it out of the committee
because he says it would be prema
ture to do so before the Federal Trade
Commission has concluded its power
inquiry and revealed the necessary
facts. The Senator denies that Mus
cle Shoals is in any way related to
power control legislation. The charge
that it is, or that some other bill has
been sidetracked by it, is truculent
and disingenuous. It is especially so
when Mr. Hoover implies that Con
gress stood in the way of public nec
essity in order to deal with Muscle
Shoals. This is to imply that some
other bill was before Congress and
that Congress deliberately sidetrack
ed it. That in Hot the case.
It will immensely clarify the situ
ation to have Mr. Hoover accept
Muscle Shoals as a political issue and
stand the ground he has consistently
taken ever since he entered the White
House. He protests that to be against
the Norris bill is to be put by its
advocates upon the side of the power
industry. Why not? The power in
dustry has for 10 years kept Muscle
Shoals idle. It has used its giant
trength to keep the Government from
exposing the exorbitant prices
charged for power all over the Unit
ed States. Neither Mr. Coolidge nor
Mr. Hoover has been able to devise
an argument for opposing Federal
operation at Muscle Shoals that does
not put him squarely upon the side
of the power industry. That is, both
object to it on the score that the
Government ought not to be in this
business. Neiher has pretended that
any fair private offer for the prop
erty has been available. Neither has
been sufficiently public spirited to
agree that Congress is right in be
lieving that the country has here a
means of redressing a great public
wrong.
We suggest to Mr. Hoover that he
run for a second term in the White
House on the Muscle Shoals issue. If
the people of the United States did
not say in the 1930 elections all they
have in mind with respect to the
power industry and its iniquitous
practices, we do not question that
they will be glad to make themselves
plain in 1932. He will not find it
the pillow fight we had in 192S.

MANKIND ADVANCING
The American Philosophical So
ciety at its general meeting in April
is to make an effort to chart the
course of mankind advanc ing . A
rather large order. But the society
successfully has undertaken many
other large orders throughout its ca
reer. The chief subjects to be consider
ed will be: "The Changing World."
in the hope that "The Promise of
Science" can be indicated and the
question "Whither Mankind" can be
answered in understandable terms.
These subjects again will be con
sidered and studied in proper sec
tions and subdivisions. The more
popular papers will be given to the
public.
Bold and brave. As is well said
by its projectors, "If ever the world
needed an Aristotle, a collective in
telligence to develop a method by
which the population of the globe
can best be sustained in health, com
fort and dignity; to organize the
world for better advantage of the
race; it is now."
It is the matter and work of the
society to promote useful knowledge.
This, it believes, can best be done
through the assemblage of a collec
tive intelligence. Hence the proposed
symposia and synthesis. It is hoped
that the society's leadership may be
an inspiration and, in some measure,
a guide to mankind advancing.
Every branch of human knowledge
is represented in this oldest learned
society in America and it is believed
that it can be of untold service to
humanity in the carrying out of this
momentous effort. In short, it mere
ly proposes to make this world a bet
ter place in which to live.
THE FUTURE OF COTTON
The future of cotton, if it has a fu
ture, is a cause for concern not only
in the south and other cotton-growing
areas, but wherever there is trade
in which cotton figures either direct
ly or indirectly, and that covers
about the whole of the earth's face.
Cotton, when it sells at a profit, pro
duces a generous slice of the world's
wealth, so it naturally follows that
hen cotton prices drop there is less
trading the world over. Before New
England lost its textiles to the soues
it sugered every time the cotton mar
ket misbehaved.
Many are the troubles of the cot
ton industry. The domestic market
has fallen off tremendously, consump
tion during the 1929-1930 season
having fallen off 1,000,000 bales, or
14 per cent, from that for the pre-
!ce(jjng season.
Foreign demand has also fallen off
and the American industry is losing
through a competition with foreign
cotton-producing countries.
The textile industries in the Unit
ed States and Great Britain are at
low ebb. But that in the Orient is
expanding, which means that cotton
grown In the Orient is finding a
greater demand than American cot
ton because of the shorter haul. The
same factor tends to give an advan
tage to Egyptian cotton.
After surveying the world situation
the bureau of agricultural economics
at Washington conies to the conclu
sion that if the American crop is to
maintain its position in world trade
it must follow the spindles, and to do
this it must compete in price as well
as in quality with the spindles in the
far corners of the earth, that means
selling American cotton for less than
foreign market prices.
:o:
OUR UNLAWFUL ALIENS
One may conceive a plausable argu
ment against drastic laws to restrict
alien immigration. Our laws being
what they are, however, it is hard
to see how anyone can logically op
pose the deportation of those who are
here in direct violation of those laws.
That such aliens are here by scores
of thousands perhaps we should say
hundreds of thousands is a fact
which few care to risk an explicit
denial. Their large numbers are
plainly enough indicated by the fact
that in 1929 there were 12,900 such
persons actually deported.
This result was obtained with a
slender force of Federal agents to
do the work, and the President is
entirely Justified in recommending to
the House of Representatives an al
lowance of $500,000 to increase the
force up to the point where depor
tations can be made at least equal
to, if not greater than, the number
of those who ars constantly work-

ing themselves in by one illegal
means or another.
Of those who knowingly violate
the laws to enter the country, no one
should be surprise by the evidence
that a considerable proportion are
ready to violate other laws as well,
and thus contribute to the clogging
of our criminal courts. In addition
to this, they add to the present diffi
culties of unemployment and the
care of those who are in distress.
Congress should grant without op
position or unnecessary delay the ap
propriation for which the President
has asked, and to which the director
of the budget has added his own re
commendation. :o:
AN ALCHEMIST IN JAIL
Since precious metals first came
to have prestige and economic value
alchemy has been the hope of count
less dreamers. Visionary men who
would make gold out of base metals
are famed in history and legend.
But few such goldmakers have spun
fantastic careers on a web of patri
otism and international politics as
did the German Tausend, now in jail
for a three-year term.
Tausend in 1925 conceived the
brilliant idea of making gold, taking
5 per cent of the profits for himself,
paying 20 per cent to investors and
using 75 per cent to pay Germany's
reparations. His plan was taken up
bv Nationalists, eager to free the
Reich of its heavy debt burden and
capture political power for them
selves. And so the devotees of the
old regime paid in their savings to
Goldmaker Tausend.
Tausend thrived. He bought coun
try homes and motor cars, wrote a
book explaining his project, and went
about the country demonstrating an
apparently foolproof method of manu
facturing gold. Unfortunately for
Tausend. police decided he was a
magician, not an alchemist, and his
scientific- treatise on the "harmony
of the elements" was termed by scien
tists the work of an uneducated ig
noramus.
And so the alchemist of the repa
rations payments has gone to jail,
leaving a trail of disillusioned Na
tionalists, and leaving the Reich to
pay its international debts in the
customary manner of world finance.
Synthetc gold remains a plaything
for the authors of fiction and opera,
not for political parties.

The prospects for Charlie Chaplin,
still a British subject, for elevation
to knighthood are not very good. The
honor will not be offered by King
George, and if the honor should be
offered Charlie says he would not ac
cept. Probably the little movie star
is afraid that the dignity of the rank
would put a crimp in his comedy.
