IV a> TODAY and TOMORROW happntuss . . twi Sir Arthur Edington famous Brit ish scientist, told ship news report ers that the only happy land he *now anything about is the one in the familiar old hymu: ''There is a happy land Far, far away." There never has been saeh a thing ?n earth as a happy lani?t land in whieh all the people or even half -ho people were happy, except it may have been in one of the South Sea Islauda before white men dia* covered them and introduced new deas about right and wrong and be jan to impose laws upon the people. 1 've observed innumerable at tempts to muko a land?this land of nus -?a happy land by passing laws It looks to mo that the more laws eve adopt, the farthet away we getj from tho goal of happiness. Ttie I happy land is still "far, far away." DELUSIONS ..... vary The trouble with most of us that we suffer from delusions?de lusions as to what would make us hap py if wo had it; delusions about how Lo make others happy. 1 know earn est souls who are convinced that all the poor need to make them happ.t .4 electric dishwasher* and modern plumbing. Most of us Relieve thut all a'O need to make ourselves liwppy is noro money than we have * So we pass laws, or demand their lassago, lo give everybody more noney and moro plumbing, foolishly jolieving that happiness can be meas jred in dollars. I lean more And more strongly to the belief, an time marches on, thu-. \ nation would be a much happ'vr plaen if pracically all th.? laws which wore designed to m:iW fo!!? iappy wero repealed over night. At east, such a procedure would make t easier for Washington to balance the budget, and to reduco taxes. RESPONSIBILITY . . no coy One of niy objoction, io irytug lo regulate all hursitn atfars {?? iiw is that it takes the reaponvhih y ti m ;he individual citizen and lays i'; jn the shoulders of the policeman. I believe most of the evils which laws \re supposed to correct would bo right id to the satisfaction of everybody, f everybody realized that they lmd to io the job themselves, and couldn't <et out ot it by ?aji??K it was the jovernmont's business lo attend to it. Thero was a higher proportion of happiness, I believe, in tho pioneer ira when laws were few and sherriffs :i long way off, and settlers had to work out their destinios and those of ?:heir communities by taking respon sibility, on their own shoulders. At least, they enjoyed a higher measure of independence when there wore no government agents around to tell them what to do, and they never missed the plumbing whieh they'd never hoard of. DIAMONDS . . i . . joy Tf you think it is diamonds that will make you happy, here's a ohanee to pick up the world's second or third largest and finest stone at a i.\rgain Three years ago this month J *old in this column about a diamond almost] .8 big as an egg which a Soul) Afri. *an Dutchman named JacobiM lonker "ound on his farm and sold for ?300 000. n Well, the world's master diamond '.utter, La/.are Kaplan, finished t v.ttinu; ip the Jonkor diamond in New York just after Now Year's.

(Please Turn T- ?*?> Z) ?f r Washington, February 3?While there has been no change in the gen erally friendly attitude toward organ ized labor on the part of the Admin istration and the majority leaders in Congress, the demand Lor their sup j port" made by John L. Ixivi", leader of the labor group which, is trying to organize the automobile industry workers, has had tht effect of toning: down much of the enthusiasn. for La bor's eanse. ^fr. Lewis, in so mauv words, called upon the President to pay hi?- debt to Labor i'oi re-electing him. 'l h.-t brought forth a veiled but unmistak able rebuke from the President. Mi'. Roosevelt's friends j>oint out that, while undoubtedly the mas.s of indus trial workers voted for him, there I. no evidence that Mr. Lewis's Commit tee for Industrial Organization did any more in his behalf than did I he American Federation of Labor; al though Mr. Lewis did collect nearly half a million dollars front member.< of the United Mine Workers as a contribution to the Democratic can> paign fund. But neither that nor anything else, these friends say, justifies a demand by Lewis lor support of one faction of organised labor in preference to another; nor can impartial observer* nee that the Administration is under any greater obligation to Labor than it is to all other citizens. To all ii ones impartial administration ol the Jaws designed to insure equal justice and opportunity to everybody, and to none docs it owe more than that. Mr. Lewis's ill-considered demand has had the effect of making the Dt partracnt of Labor and all the other Government agencies concerned with the Labor situation "lean backward" in the effort to show no favoritism and to avoid the appearance of paying off a political debt. It ha8 also cooled Congressional ardor for some of the more advanced phases of organized Labor's program. When Congress assembled there seemed to be a fair chanee of th?. en actment of the much-talked-of-thirty hour week law. Now that outlook ap pears '.ery dim. And until the Su preme Court finally mles on the con stitutionality of the Wagner Labor He luti^ns Act. on which arguments have lately b?vn heard, there is hesitnt ion on the part of the Government to i:: voke its provisions in the General .Va lors strike. The electric power situation ti; eome oat in the open. Chairman .Yv thur Morgan of TVA forced the i.^ui with a public statement of his position which is, in brief, that there should be a }K?oling of interests between TVA and the piivr-.te power companies in its territory. This attitude is bif'erly oppose! by David Lillenthal, Dr. ?d organ's sc<?nnl in command, and by Senator George Norris, "Father of TYA." 'I hey private power companies put out <.?. business. Each side would like to Im .c the President lined up with it, but lie has so far resisted all efforts to l?>? <? his hand for a commitment one v;?y or the other. The President will eventually dn-idy as between the two divergent pnvrr jKilicics, but to Grain timt- and test : strength of publie opinion belr ? each point of view, Mr. Roosevelt hs: r>p]*>int'.'d a jtower policy committee,1 with Secretary Iekes of the Tni rf-T Deportment an its chairman. The belief prevailing here is, the Ickcs committee will repor 'i favor of the Morgan policy of <??. op eration with private power interests wherever 'the Government enframes in public works which r<>nlt in poy.\r production, and that the President will accept that the Adminirdia lion's policy. Unless there is a reorganization of the executive departments calling lor additional Cabinet departments. ti:4> belief here now is that the President will make no changes in his Cabinet for some time to coir.e. Only one Cabinet position becomes vacant by law when a President's term ends. That is the Postmaster Gen? r !, and Mr. Roosevelt promptly re." > pointed Mr. Farley to that post. Mr. Farley hns stated publicly tha* ii? w$nts to get out of Government s<-r yiee if he can find a good iob with a future in ?r in private business, but until such :in opportunity turns up he will trail along with the President. A permanent Secretary of War, tn replace ITarry Woodring, who*' pointmcnt has been regarded as a te. - poraiy ston-gap, may be appointed qhortlv. V't unless .some Cabinet offi .cer die-; or re<"*gnfl no other chan:'?"j are nor,- expected. A (lipase Tom To Bag* a) ' J p,.gS5r 400,000 Homeless In N; t' n's Flood Zone Along Great Rivers
