DIRIGIBLES .... important
I hope the fate of the airship Ak
ron will not throw Congress into such
a panic that it will refuse to appro
priate funds for further development
of lighter-than-air craft.
I have long believed that the diri
gible is a far more valuable military
arm than the airplane. We don’t stop
building airplanes because scores of
brave young officers are killed every
year when military planes crash. Ths
safety of the nation is more impor
tant than a few lives.
The time will come when the air
ship will be perfected, to the point
where it will be the principal means
of passenger transportation all over
the world. Of that I am firmly con
vinced. But no private concern can
spend the money necessary to the
perfection of the dirigible. It must
be done by Governments, and the ex
penditure justified by the airship’s
value as a means of national de
fense.
ARMY .... too expensive
A high officer of the Army has
had the courage to tell the world that
the Army costs too much.
Major General Johnson Hagood.
commanding the Eighth >Gorps Area,
says: “It takes three hundred mil
lion dollars a year to run the Army
under its present organization. We
can get a better organization for
less.”
That is a slap in the face for the
bureaucrats who have piled up fat of
- jobs in Washington for Army
officers who ought to be out in the
field or working at something else.
There is nothing the United States
needs less than it needs an expensive
Army. General Hagood admits that
he has twice as many staff officers
and clerks as he needs, but he can’;
get rid of them under the present
set-up.
The danger of a large standing
Army is that its officers too often
are inclined to forget that they are
the servants of the people and to as
sume that they are the masters.
GOVERNOR .... right man
Frank Murphy, Mayor of Detroit.,
who is going to the Philippines as
Governor-General is one of the pro
gressive young men who are coming
to the front in America’s public af
fair!.
He is not going to have an easy job
as successor to Theodore Roosevelt.
Jr., in Manila. But Frank Murphy
doesn’t care about easy jobs.
Congress has voted to give the
Philippines independence, if they
behave themselves, in the course of
a dozen years or so. The Filipinos
themselves are divided on the ques
tion whether or not they want inde
pendence. Some are afraid that once
Uncle Sam removes his protecting
arm Japan will jump in and grab off
the island.-. The new Governor-Gen
eral will have a lot of conflicting
ideas to reconcile, and it is not at
all impossible that he may have io
keep a pretty close eye on Japan
himself.
MINISTER a woman
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen is to be
United States Minister to the Court
THE JACKSON PROGRESS* *RGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
of Denmark. My first reaction to
that news is hat it is Denmark’s gain
and America’s loss.
There is no particular glory at
tached to being tRe diplomatic repre
sentative of America to the minor
governments of Europe. President
Hoover once said to me: “Any man
who is a good enough politician to
he a county chairman, knows how
to wear evening clothes, and has
good table manners, is qualified to
be Minister to most European coun
tries.”
Mrs. Owen, however, will reflect
giory upon her new job, and will car
ry herself in a way to reflect credit
upon the women of America, thus
honored by ths frst selecton of one
of their sex to a high diplomatic
post. Nobody can know Mrs. Owen
without admiring and liking her.
POLICEMAN s . . still going up
Nearly forty years ago, Theodore
Roosevelt, then Police Commissioner
of New York, advertised for bright
young men of good character to be
come policemen. Among those who
lesponded was an upstanding young
man named Edward P. Mulrooney.
Mulrooney “pounded the pave
ment” and learned all about the bus
ness of policing the world’s greatest
city. He never took a drink, never
gambled, never dissipated in any
way and never took a dollar or a
favor for doing his duty—or for not
doing it, for that matter. He rose
through all the grades to Inspector,
and then was appointed to the post
which Theodore Roosevelt once held,
Police Commissioner of New York.
Now, my friend Ed Mulrooney
has been asked by the Governor of
New York to be the head of the
State Beer Commission. The. great
danger in the legalization of beer
and the probable repeal of prohibi
tion is that the liquor business may
again become the tool of crooked
politicians and the handmaiden of
crime. With Ed Mulrooney in charge
the crooks and grafters woij’t have a
Chinaman’s chance to get in their
dirty work.

U. C. V. Reunion
Plans For 1933
Definitely Dead
Petersburg, Va. —There will be
no reunion for the United Confed
erate Veterans in 1933.
In making this announceemnt,
Gen. Homer Atkinson, commander
in-chief, said financial conditions
have made it impossible for any
southern city or state to entertain
the survivors from the gray ranks
which stood as their defenders in
the sixties.
General Atkinson confirmed re
ports from Nashville quoting Chief
of-Staff Harry Rene Lee as saying
two cities which had been negotiating
for the reunion had abandoned hope
of entertaining the veterans.
“There is no possibility, that I can
see, of holding a reunion this year,”
General Atkinson said. “It has al
ways been the practice for a state
to appropriate money to help a city
entertain the reunion, and this year
none of the state legislatures was
able to do it.
“But,” he said, “we shall meet in
1934. I am sure of that. President
Roosevelt’s administration will have
things in good shape by that time,
and I have no doubts whatever that
we shall be able to meet then.”

MARKETS SOAR AS INFLATION
POLICY OUTLINED BY LEADERS
$2.50 BALE JUMP
MADE BE COTTON
STOCKS REACH NEW HIGH
LEVELS. COMMODITY PRICES
UP. SOUTH BENEFITS FROM
SOARING PRICES
New York, April 19.—With latest
moves in Washington interpreted in
Wall and. LaSalle streets Wednesday
as indicating determination to re
store commodity prices through a
managed dollar, stocks and staples
boomed.
With gold exports definitely stop
ped, and the dollar declining swiftly
in terms of other leading currencies,
there was a rush in the New Y ork
stock exchange, in the Chicago board
of trade, and other domestic mar
kets, to convert funds into shares
and commodities.
In the share market prices regis
tered the most sweeping advances
since March 15, the day trading was
resumed after the bank holiday, and
the turnover exceeded 5,000,000
shares for the first time since Sept.
13, last. It was the largest volume
of trading for a rising market since
August, last, and some 250 issues
registered new high levels for 1933
or longer. As measured by price av
erages, the market level came close
to the peak of last January. Many
issues ended the day $1 to $9 a share
higher.
