Easy Way To Relieve Philippine
Tangle
Something that deserves that overworked title,
•epoch-making", seems to be happening on the other
aide of the Pacific ocean these days, and we are not
fivlng it quite as much thought as it deserves.
The Philippines are in the process of gaining their
freedom. They are getting it peacefully, without
bloodshed, because the power which has ruled them
for a generation is getting out voluntarily. History
eontai. ; no precedent for such action.
The 10-year Independence plan seems to have won
Philippine approval by an overwhelming vote. There
remains, then, only the task of getting through the
transition period as well as possible. Within a com
paratively short time the adventure which began
when Dewey's guns battered the Spanish fleet into
so much scrap iron will be ended forever
Yet we need not think that, because the die has
at last been cast, our own responsibilities are ended.
For the 10 years of the transition period, the United
States still remains responsible for protection of the
islands Congress recently passed a law authorizing
appointment of an American military mission to the
Philippines. America will retain the right to inter
vene in island affairs until the decade is up.
Now there is no sense in denying that our rela
tions with Japan are somewhat strained Thare is
also no sense in denying that there are some Japa
nese who would like to see the Philippines pass un
der Japanese domination. It is perfectly possible
that a combination of these things might lead us
into an extremely difficult situation, even after we
have formally begun the task of getting out of the
Islands
Raymond Leslie Buell, discussing the situation for
the Foreign Policy Association, suggests that there
are four things the United States can do to ease this
situation.
He suggests the granting of independence now.
Instead of 10 years hence, to avoid the difficult tran
sition period; signing of a reciprocity agreement be
tween the United States and the Philippines, to save
the islanders from economic collapse: employment by
the new Philippine republic of expert advisers nomin
ated by some such body as the League of Nations:
and an international agreement among Pacific
powers to guarantee neutralization of the islands.
In granting the Philippines their freedom, we are
trying to do two things: do justice to the islanders,
and rid ourselves of a potentially embarrassing en
tanglement. It may be that a program such as Mr.
Buell suggests would do the job better than the one
now being followed
It would be an ironic stroke of fate if the
"Philippine question" should involve us in trouble
aftv we had formally started to withdraw
Coming To Sec America
For a great many years, the transatlantic tourist
trade has been a one-way proposition. Hundreds of
thousands of Americans have crossed the ocean each
year to tour Europe, have gained much in the way
of pleasure and cultural advancement as a result,
and have helped to enrich Europe by their expendi
tures: but there never was more than a thin trickle
of European tourists coming to have a look at
America.
Now the tide has begun to turn. The devaluation
of the dollar has made an American tour less expen
sive. and Europeans are taking advantage of It.
Steamship companies believe that there will be more
European visitors in America this summer than ever
before.
The development is a wholesome one. Americans
can learn much, and become better cltieena of the
world community, by visiting Europe. Europeans can
do as much for themselves by visiting America.
Reversal of the time-honored trend ought to be a
good thing for everybody <tancemed
Latest Aryan Wisdom
The insane follies into which people can be led by
race prejudice are strikingly illustrated—once again—
by recent happenings in Germany.
Julius Streicher. mouthpiece for the extreme anti
Jcvlsh section of the Nazis, has opened a campaign
to persuade people not to use discoveries in medical
science made by Jews. Such discoveries, he says, are
“merely unpunished methods of Jewish robbery and
murder, clothed in the mantle of exact science.”
Among the medical men whose methods he would
discard are such giants as Virchow. Koch. Waaaer
man. and Ehrlich—men whose work hss saved un
numbered thousands of Uvea and prevented an in
finity of human suffering.
Cutting off your nose to spite your face is sane and
sensible compared with carrying your race pre
judice to an extreme like this.
Parent May Be Worse
Problem Than Child
By DR, MORRIS F1SBBELN
Editor. Jewnsl of tho American Medical Association,
and of Hygeia. the Health Magaafne
We hear a lot nowadays about the problem child.
But many doctors are even more concerned with the
problem parent.
> The old-fashioned father and the old-fashioned
doctor are convinced that the child who turns out
best is the one who has had a reasonable amount
of parental discipline and control. A good old
fashioned English doctor said that parents have to
learn that the proper place to train a child is in the
home.
If the home does not train him. the school has to
train him; if the school does not train him. the
world has to; if the world does not. the jail has to.
Each one of the masters involved is likely to be
harder and harder, and each one may make less like
ly the possibility of complete success.
• • •
There are two points of view nowadays as to
whether the psychologist and the psycho-analyst
ought to be educating the women's clubs and the
parent-teacher associations into the mysteries of
their calling. Psychology and emotional relationships
represent today one of the most involved and diffi
cult phases of mental science.
The question arises as to whether parents are made
better or worse by a little knowledge in this field,
particularly when we realise the age-old proverb
that a little knowledge is dangerous.
One of the difficulties which has recently arisen is
represented by the trembling mother who comes to
the doctor wondering whether her attitude toward
the child will produce an inferiority complex, and
asking the doctor if she should not be a little less
firm.
Training is absolutely necessary for the inexperi
enced mind of the child. This is particularly true in
our modem civilisation in which children are not al
lowed to roam freely in the community, but in which
they are likely to receive the vast majority of their
training from the parents, nurses governess, or do
mestics about the home.
An eminent English doctor calls attention to a new
condition which is called parental hypochondriasis
It refers to the types of parent who spends a lot of
time worrying about his relationships to his children
and who has finally developed the idea, fallowing
consultations with amateur psycho-analysts and
similar people, that the hearing of a healthy child
is a task of superhuman difficulty.
Since when has it become lese majesty to criticise
the president? Like the rest of the million* of gov
ernment employes, he is just a hired hand — Rep
resentative Eckwal of Oregon.
The ideals of the average American may be sum
med up In two sentences: “A full dinner pail” and
**The ability to show a full- garbage pail.” — Dixon
Ryan Fox. president Union College.
The American likes excitement and violence, but
his manners and habits are very’ gentle. American
politeness is genuine.—Gertrude Stein.
New Yorkers are too wise for their own good. They
think Jupiter's a racket, and Saturn and the moon —

WASHINGTON
By Bay Tucker
Liberals — That private confer
ence recently held In an ups tars
White House roor* behind lowered
blinds — with guests stealing in the
rear entrance — was the most im
portant political assemblage since
the 1932 Democratic National Con
vention. The extraordinary attempt
to keep it masked shows how the
participants from the president
down fbel about its economic and po
litical possibilities.
It was a session at which the
president asked for brutal criticism
from senate progressives who cam
paigned for him in 1932 but have
lately been turning against him in
disappointment. Those invited to
submit pent-up grievances were
Senators Norris. LaPollette. Wheel
er, Costigan and Johnson. The
cabineteers invited were the two
liberals — Wallace and Ickes. Con
servatives in the senate and "cabinet
were barred. The symposium spark
ed and sizzled from shortly after
dinner until 2 in the morning, and
the guests did not spare their hoar.
They told him wherein they
thought he had failed in his pledges
to them and to the “forgotten man."
They furnished him a bill of par
ticulars concerning measures which
his friends and party leaders have
blocked or sidetracked. They read
lettters in which their constituents
charged them with having followed
a “lost leader.*’ They still expressed
their hope in him, blaming his ap
parent desertion on certain of his
advisers. They alleged that some of
his advisers have definitely tried to
keep the facts from him and to in
sulate him against liberal thought
—and resentment
Fruit* — Their bitterness was *
surprise and a shock to the presi
dent. He had sensed that his ‘pro
gressive friends’* were avoiding the
White House but had been too oc
cupied with other problems to in
quire into the cause. It was not un
til he received a disturbing letter
from Felix Frankfurter of Harvard
that he learned of the deep dis
satisfaction prevailing an-ong lib
erals on both sides of the senate
aisle.
“Why dldnt you tell me this.”
pleaded the president after a demo
cratic insurgent had detailed his
complaint. In reply the senator ex
plained that he had telephoned the
White House again and again but
had always been Informed that the
president was “too busy to see him.”
“Senator." replied the president in
a grieved tone, “the next time you
want to talk to me about anything
you telephone Miss Le Hand - <M:s*
Marguerite Le Hand has be\n thf
president's "personal ' secretary foi
many years * The progressive bloc
left the White House with th** con
viction that they had made a deep
Impression upon its occupa.it. They
think the fruits of this mysterious
conclave show already in his deter
mination to force his far-teaching
program through congress without
compromise.
Hop — Huey Long's insistent*
that he is a “poor man” seeking
only the advancement of the meek
and lowly is derided by democratic
sleuths — who charge that he spends
freely to propagate his share-the
wealth theories. They suggest that
certain interests tnimlcal to the
New Deal are supplying him with
funds for stirring discontent among
the young.
One of Huey's most active and ar
dent disciples Is Eugene Daniell of
New York. Mr Daniell figured In
the headlines not so long ago as the
radical Harvard graduate who tear
gassed the New York Stock Ex
change and gave the bulls and bears
their first real cry in years. He
visits Mr. Long’s office frequently
and returns to New York with a
wad of money which he does not
make by selling the senator's news
paper on street corners.
Mr Daniell stages lavish beer
parties after these trips to Washing
ton. He boasts that “there is more
money where that came from.’’ The
Harvard man makes no attempt to
whoop em up at political rallies. He
simply collects adolescents In beer
cellars and Greenwich Village gar
dens. Then he fills them with hop
end Huey.

Strange — Republican bigwigs are
mortally offended bv these marches
on Washington, especially as the pa
rade has just begun. Unless the
OOP can discredit them as rlgged
up affairs its leaders fear they mil
turn out to be a distinct partisan
asset bet we n now and the 193« elec
tion.
That explains 8enator Hastings'
concern Although the senate re
jected his demand for an investiga
tion, the chairman of the Repub
licans' Joint Congressional commit
tee is keeping the issue alive. His
letter asking Secretary Wallace for
his version of the farmers' trek
is merely the opening gun in the
engagement
The senator could find Wallace's
views In a book he wrote long be
fore he became Secretary of Agri
culture. Mr. Wallace declared then
that farmers must demand the same
influence at Washington which cor
porate and labor lobbies enjoy He
still feel* that if the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce can assemble 3,000
delegates every year in its palatial
structure a block from the White
House, the farmers have the same
right to voice their desires and pro
tests And the White House —
strangely enough — sides with Wal
lace.
• • •
Nothin* — Senator Ty dings pick*
ed the worst time in the world to
suggest an international confer
ence on the ailments — debts, tar
iffs. currency and armaments —
which ought to be — but are not —
troubling the nations. President
Roosevelt has lost faith in the con
ference system and so has such an
apostle of these get-to-gethers as
Bill Borah of Idaho.
In fact the president prides him
self on the thought that he has de
vised a better system. Although
