IN THE HOUSE OF ITS FRIENDS
The defeat of the prohibition
forces has become a rout. Sixteen
states have now voted for repeal of
the Eighteenth amendment, and
every one of them by a decisive ma
jority; most of them by overwhelm
ing majorities.
Tuesday California and West Vir
ginia joined the wet procession. West
Virginia is ons of the states in wiiicli
the dry leaders had hoped to win. It.
failed them," just as Indiana liad fail
ed them, and then Iowa. And Cali
fornia, turns against them by a three
to one vote. What is more remark
able, and far more significant, is that
this ratio hold3 up in southern Cali
fornia the same as in the hsavily in
dustrial Bay region. For the south
ern end of the state has been a dry
Gibraltar. It3 immense population
recruited largely from the farming
regions of the middle west had made
even so great a city as Los Angeles a
prohibition capital. But Los Angeles
now joins San Francisco and OaK
land in pronouncing the great mora)
experiment, noble in motive, a fail
ure. West Virginia is the first of the
southern or border states to express
itself. And its southern counties, bor
dering on Tennessee, Virginia and
Kentucky, voted the same way as the
northern sections of the state. This
gives support to the confident claims
of the anti-prohibition leaders that
the south will be found in agree
ment with the north and the west
and the east on the vote for repeal,
and that repeal will come, possibly
this year, almost certainly next year.
by a practically unanimous vote of
the 4 8 states of the union.
This is an age of reversals and up
turns and overturns. The capacity
lor uEtomsnment is wearing very
thin. We have come to accept revolu
t:on almost as a matter of course.
Cut even so, acclimated as we are to
the impossible, tho swift and sweep
ing change in public sentiment on
prohibition is surprising.
And what make3 it notable is that
it ii the prohibtionists themselves
who have wrought the transform
ation. Those who were "wets" five
and ten and fifteen years ago and are
wets ttill never coul dhave accomp
lished it. It Is evident that millions
of good men and women who ardent
ly supported the prohibition cause
have turned against it. They gave it
a fair trial. They believed In it, hoped
and preyed for Its 6ucces3. They stood
valiantly by it for a good many
years against all assailants and
critics. But finally the time came
when reluctantly, regretfully, they
were obliged to recognize and admit
the fact of its failure. The evils of
prohibition Btood out as more men
acing, more harmful, than the other
evils it was designed to remedy.
Prohibition has been slain, not
by itj saepiies frcia the beginning,
but ia the house of its friends.-

MR. SNELL FAILS TO
SHINE AS A CRITIC
The republican leader in the house,
Representative Snell, of. New York,
properly has discharged his duty to
his party by sailing, into the Roose
velt administration with a red-hot
criticism of plans and policies. In
the circumstances those who are
solidly backing the present - regime
should not be too hard on 'Mr. Snell.
He is a politician who, because of his
position as-lader of the minority
party in the house, could not evade
the task of attempting to make
things look bad. That is the way
politicians always do. If it be of any
comfort to Mr. Snell he may be ad
vised that he has fallen short of
marks set in the past by democratic
critics of republican administrations,
who always were able to maka things
look much worse than they really
were.
That, too, is understandable. The
democratic critics in the past have
had much more experience than has
been enjoyed by republicans. The
democrats have had more opportun
ities to criticize republican admin
istration for the simple reason that
there have been more g. o. p. than
democratic regimes. Which, anyone
would admit, ought to give the boys
on the democratic side a finish at this
sort of thing that no republican
could equal.
When it conies to a review of Mr.
Snell's remarks in criticism of the
present democratic administration as
one that has gone on "a spending
spree," any citizen ought to be able
to realize just why it was considered
necessary to appropriate enormous
amounts of money, to raise new taxes
and to issue billions in federal bonds.
The Journal believes the average
citizen, including, of course, the re
publican leaders in and out of con
gress, realizes that the present re
gime has come to grips with the
worst national condition known in
the republic's peace time history
Consequently it would be necessary
for congress and the administration
to adopt drastic measures to pull the
country out of its trouble. No won
der what looks like a spending spree
has been under way in Washington
ever since congress was called into
special session.
Why, this thing which the whole
country is battling is much worse
than a foreign foe. Not in genera
tions have the American people faced
an enemy so dangerous as the one
they faca now. It really would not
be worse if one of the world's first
powers had succeeded in landing a
great army on our eoII. For the
enemy we now must fight i3 one that
is entrenched in our own country,
in every community. We are fighting
the enemy, depression, and we have
more to stake in this war than if we
were battling our strongest potential
foe. The wonder is not that the pres
ent regime is spending so much in
trying to win but that it is not
spending more. Sioux City Journal.
A LITTLE GAIN MADE
IN RIGHT DIRECTION
The best hope we have right now
is the determination of General
Hugh Johnson, director of the pub
lic works-industrial program, to find
and make jobs for four million men
by October. Nothing else, we have
found out in these devastating years,
is so important as that a man or
woman should be able to earn his
living by worli This is not so thai
those who are at work may be re
lieved of supporting those who are
not employed. It comes from the
mortal value of independence, of
earning one's place in the world. The
right to thi3 is very close to the mo3t
fundamental right of all, the right
to live.
Setting a goal of four million has
a practical value. It not only gives
hope to those who will get the jobs,
but to all the rest of us. We are en
couraged to believe that normal con
ditions are to be restored. The prac
tical effect is that we are not so
afraid to buy the things we need.
And every time we buy, we do a lit
tle towrrd making a job. We have
begun to see that almost as import
ant as earning is spending much of
what one oarns. For awhile we were
spending too far ahead of income;
lately we have spent too far behind
it.
General Johnson's hope of four
million is buttressed by word of in
creasing employment in private in
dustry, word, that is", of work that
docs not spring directly from the gov
ernment's expenditures on made jobs.
Secretary Perkins of the labor de
partment reports an increase of man
ufacturing employment for May of
4.5 per cent and a pay roll increase
of 11.5 per cent. More people are at
work and those at work are making
more.
It is a little gain so far, but it
moves in the right direction. Every
one is looking now toward seeing the
country out of the dark woods.

FINANCIAL ITEMS IIT
ONE DAY'S NEWS
Yesterday's Times reported three
financial items of unu.-ual interest,
each offering ground for encourage
ment. 1. The federal treasury received
last month 99 million dollars in mis
cellaneous internal revenue. This is
not only the best figure of the cur-J
rent year, but acually the largest lor
any month "since the war period. ' It
is the result of the new tax on beer,
plus the fact that with tho recent im
provement of business the yield of
taxe3 on gasoline, capital stock
transfers, checks and admissions, &c,
has considerably increased. The May
figure exceeds by 17 million dollars
the average monthly receipts anti
cipated fro mthis source during the
cipated from this source during the
Coupled with the large reductions
rnado in government expenditures.
this strengthens hope of a balanced
budget.
2. Gold holdings of the federal
reserve banks again reached a new
high figure, passing all precedent
since the reserve system was organ
ized. ji S3,t3o,ooo,000, holdings
are now S50 million dollars above
the low- point for the year, reached
shortly after the "bank holiday," and
nearly 500 million dollars in excess
of tha highest figure attained dur
ing the boom year 1929. The gain
is dua partly to the government's ef
forts to bring gold out of hoarding
and partly -to the . automatic return
flow which has followed the improve
ment of business and the reopening of
the banks.
3. The latest survey shows that
5,53 6 of the 6.CS9 member banks of
tho federal reserve system had re
ceived licenses to reopen by May 31.
This is a gain only of 58 since May
3, indicating that fewer than. 5 per
cent of tho banks closed on that date
were reopened during. the four sub
sequent weeks. But the amount of
deposits still "frozen" in the closed
institutions was reduced during this
period from $2,019,000,000 to 1,
856,000,000 or nearly 30 per cent.
It i3 clear, therefore, that the banks
reopened during May were compar
atively important institutions. Those
still closed hold less than 7 per cent
of the entire amount deposited in the
reserve system. New York Times.

FIGHT CHARTER REVOCATION
Philadelphia. Socially prominent
members of the Anthony Wayne post
of the American Legion, carried
their fight against revocation of their
charter to tho United States district
court. National headquarters of the
legion revoked the charter of the post
because it supported President Roose
velt's stand on restricted veteran
compensation The suit asked the
federal court to grant an injunction
to restrain the national officers of
the legion from enforcing the revoca
tion order.'
THE TEXTILE CODE AS A SAMPLE
The cotton textile code is the first
to come up for public hearing under
the industrial control administra
tion. It is the first coda so far made
public that incorporates definite pro
vision both for hours of labor and
minimum wages. It is a code design
ed to bring order in one of the most
demoralized of the major industries
of the country, up to a short time
ago, at least, and thereby to increase
the security of both worker and em
ployer. The code is significant in its
omission of price-fixing, leaving
prices to be adjusted, presumably, in
accordance with wages, hours and
the cost of raw materials.
For all these reason this particular
code is significant. The spirit of co
operation and partnership with the
government displayed by the cotton
textile group is praised by W. L. Al
len, deputy administrator of the
recovery act. This code, therefore,
carries the suggestion of a possible
standard for others that are to fol
low. Does it seem fair to the public,
and what benefits to the industry it
self could be expected to follow its
adoption?
The answer ' to. the first part of
tho question will have to be given
through further scrutiny of the code
and, above all, by actual application
of it. On the face of it, the absence
of price-fixing agreements is exem
plary; but there may need to be vig
ilant administration to prevent an
abuses of that sort, once the code
is made operative. It has been point
edly announced that no price-fixing
would be approved as a feature of
any code submitted at Washington
That ought to settle the question for
tho present.
Benefits to the industry itself, in
eluding the worker, should be had
both in the limitation of hours of la
bor and in stipulated minimum
wages. Control of production thus
aimed at had been attempted in vain
by the industry in recent years. The
40-hcur week established by the
code would be less than the recent
average in the industry, while the
stipulated minimum weekly wage for
unskilled labo ronly. $11 in the
North and ?10 in the South, would
be above the recent average for all
kinds of labor, even in the longe
week. The latter average is reported
at only $0.63, or only $S.56 on
40-hour basis.,, These aerages, o
course, are affected by very low
minimums
J-
The condition that has made pos
sible such low .wages, together with
the fact that skilled labor would re
ccive considerably more than the pro
pored minimum scale, should be tak
en into account along with the sug
gestion of William Green of the Am
erican Federation of Labor that the
minimum bo raised 40 to 50 per cent
and that the week be reduced to
thirty-two hours. Certainly, as com
pared with the past, workers would
stand to gain from the code provi
sions. It is further estimated that the
shorter hours would increase the to
tal employed in the industry by
nearly 25 per cent. These are prom
ising advantages from the control
plan. Whether such gains are to be
realized in this and other industries
in fairness to the public, will be a
matters of vital concern to the coun
try. Kansas City Star.

AMERICA HAS GROWN UP
Thirty-five years ago, on the 3rd
of July, 189S, the naval battle of
Santiago put an end to Spain's pre
tensions of being-a world power and
put the United States of America on
the map as one of the great powers
of the world. It is not putting the
case too strongly to say that until
the Spanish War the American na
tion counted for very little in world
affairs except as a source of food
supplies, and our politicians and most
of cur people felt themselves some
how inferior to Europe and the
Europeans.
Some of that inferiority still per
sists and crop3 up every now and
then, whenever the United States
takes part in any discussion of inter
national affairs. Foolish people get
the notion that somehow America's
diplomats and delegates are going to
be "outsmarted" -whenever they try
to dicker with Europeans. And Eu
rope, cf course, dqcs its best to make
hat notion stick.
We don't believe that European
statesmen and politicians are any
smarter than our own. We have
every confidence that the American
delegation to the present wory mone
tary and economic conference will
get all they went after, whether Eu
rope Hke3 it or not.
America has grown up.

A FEDERAL STROKE
AT RACKETEERING
The path of the racketeer is go
ing to be increasingly hard if the
government's threat of Interference
with his operations is made good.
Tho assertion of Attorney General
Cummings that racketeering has
reached a degree that demand prompt
and drastic governmental action fol
lows by a few days the statement of
Representative Woodruff of Michigan
that this form of crime can be at
tacked through the interstate com
merce claus3 of the Constitution.
The Michigan member of congress
ha3 found through investigation that
racketeering is a growing menace,
with which the individual states are
unable to deal effectively. He be
lieves that with repeal bootleggers
will turn largely to racketeering and
that more determined activity will be
imperative and can safely be under
taken by the federal authorities, due
to the interstate character of much
racketeering.
The attorney general Implies that
the states are not using the full au
thority they have in efforts to stamp
out this form of crime. It has be
come more and more obviou3 that
lawlessness must be attacked as a
national problem. At present, the
government can reach racketeers only
through the revenue laws, on
charges of failure to pay income
taxes. That method is prolonged and
indirect. It can ba applied only after
the damage has been done. A quicker
way of supplementing state efforts i3
required. The federal legislation
would be strictly In order. The broad
ening of federal authority in other
fields suggests that the next big ex
pansion should head right into the
problem of crime. Kansas City Star.
