The Talkie
And the Squawkie
Since Soviet Russia has been deemed respect
able by the rest of the world, the few remaining
dregs of a decadent Czarist nobility haven't been
getting much publicity. We wonder to what de
gree the desire for more publicity plus a very
natural desire to make money easily, has prompt
ed Princess Irene Whats-her-name to sue Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Company for libel, declaring her
self to have been slandered in the motion picture
"Rasputin."
According jx the latest news reports, the
British jury awarded her 25,000 pounds she
had asked for a mere 400,000 pounds but was
well-satisfied with the award. Apparently Eng
lish social circles were well-satisfied with the
dramatic trial. The movie producers seem to
be the only dissatisfied ones since they want
to appeal the case to a higher court.
But they have no legitimate complaint. They
have already got over $100,000 worth of front
page newspaper publicity all over the world.
Why, they've even got their name in the edi
toriar columns of one of the leading college
dailies in the United States. So, after all, they
do owe something to Her Royal Highness Prin
cess Whats-her-name. D.B.
by the intelligent members of
the group which now owns our
instruments of production and
distribution, because his legisla
tion cannot but act against their
fundamental interests. He will
be attacked by those who are
fighting for the public owner
ship of industry, because his
plan of a control without owner
ship is clearly a plan that can
not succeed except through the
reactionary dictatorship of fas
cism. And he will be attacked,
ever more and more, by the lib
erals who believe in his ends, as
they realize the futility of the
means which he has chosen to
achieve them. If all the nation's
industrialists were as realistic
as Mr. Weir and Mr. Budd, if all
saw as they do the weakness of
Mrv Roosevelt's position, we
should not have to wait so long
for that crescendo in which the
basic theme of our social struc
ture will finally become manifest.

A Miss Is As Good etc.
Kaufman
And Ryskind
Recent Senate , investigations into the work
ings of some of the country's leading financiers
have brought out the largest assortment of mal
odors that have attacked the noses of citizens in
many years.
Especially bad have been the smells coming
out from the investigation of air mail contracts ;
and in connection with this research, the Senate
banking committee was told Monday that J.' P
Morgan, Wall. Street god, sold a block of 4,500
shares of United Aircraft stock less than two
weeks before the government's cancellation of
private air mail contracts. ;
But Morgan was not the only one who escaped
being left with an armful of deflated stock. The
New York stock exchange submitted to the com
mittee the names of other financiers each of
whom got rid of more than 1,000 shares of air
craft stock within the two-week period before
the order to withdraw contracts.
Last year a Senate investigating committee
was overwhelmed with odors growing out of the
manipulations of some of the country's biggest
money men. It was not the first time, of course
one particularly putrid affair, the oil scandals of
. the early twenties, is still fresh in the percep
tion of many. And the under cover work re
garding air mail will probably not be the las
time that such events occur.
The question is, how do the big boys get away
with it? Perhaps posterity will look on such
rib-pokers as "Of Thee I Sing" and "Let 'Em
Eat Cake" not as satire, but as realistic pictures
of present-day affairs. T.H.W.
Aw -
Shoot!
The sweet showers of spring are moistening
the tender shoots on the campus, as elsewhere,
and it is to be feared that the tender shoots are
getting ideas and may even be contemplating
growing. It is obvious that if this is allowed to
happen it will not be long before beautiful green
grass will adorn the University. It is high time
that the student body marshalled its strength
and took steps to avert such a condition.
The campus grass has been inured to the
most discouraging of conditions. It is not so
easily disposed of as ordinary grass which is
permitted to grow without the equivalent of
three regiments marching across each square
foot per day. Therefore it is absolutely neces
sary that an effort be begun at once if the grass
is to be nipped in the bud as has been the prac-
tice m the past.
Merely tramping on the grass yourself is not
enough. Students who are so lacking in spirit
that they follow the paths must be encouraged
to do their part in destroying the verdure. The
lure of the open spaces must be shown them as
well as the fact that it is sissy to follow the
paths even when they are the shortest distance
to where you are going.
Carolina has many traditions of which she is
justly proud and one of the finest of these is
the annual destruction of the grass. This must
not be allowed to fall into "discard. While this
does not seem likely every step must be taken
to insure its perpetuation. So get out your hob
nail shoes and start your tramping at once while
the ground is still soft. In this way a maximum

Mrs. Pinchot .
AndtheNRA
(Harvard Crimson)
The outstanding voice at General Johnson's
NRA conference has been that of Mrs. Gifford
Pinchot, wife of the governor of Pennsylvania.
In bringing up the charge that there are towns
in Pennsylvania in which she was not permit
ted to speak in favor of the recovery program,
and in giving the names of steel employees who
were discharged because of their 'part in her
labor meetiners. Mrs. Pinchot has given a real
7 . .
and unmistakable challenge to the present ad
ministration. Mrs. Pinchot was one of the many
liberals who believed in the NRA before an ex
animation of the fundamental political philos
ophy could vitalize it ; her disillusionment, sharp
ly expressed in General Johnson's conference,
may serve the purpose of bringing other liberals
to that examination.
Mr. Weir and Mr. Budd, who head the Budd
Manufacturing company in Philadelphia, are the
especial targets of Mrs. Pinchot's attack. The
Budd company has openly defied the code provi
sions of the NRA, and the complaints against
them have been referred back and forth, with
an agonizing inconstancy, from the Department
of Justice to the National Labor board. When
Mrs. Pinchot wired to Senator Wagner of the
Labor board, an assistant wired back a request
for affidavits, although several thousands of affi
davits were already in the hands of the board
and as many more with the Department of Jus
tice.
But there is, after all, not much reason for
Mrs. Pinchot's pained surprise. The Blue Eagle
is an eagle without talons, whether or not there
be compliance boards in every hamlet in the re
public. The Blue Eagle forfeited its hopes for
even a temporary success when it backed down
on collective bargaining, which is the only sane
path to industrial democracy. It did not back
down because the President was losing courage
or because the great interests had an undue in
nuence on the formation of .his policy. It backed
down because it was making pretensions to some
thing which it did not have and something which
if it had been insisted upon, would have blown
it out of Washington in ten days, beak, wings
and placards. Whatever tinge of liberalism the
blue eagle may have had, it was the old bird
perched safely on the rights of private property
and the sanctity of parliamentary government.
Perhaps the NRA can weed out child labor,
now that adult labor is the issue. Perhaps it
can weed out unfair competition, when competi
tion is the issue. Perhaps it can give labor an
advisory power, when labor ownership and con
trol is the issue. But anyone who knows the
history of the Labor Party in England and the
Social Democrats in Germany will give very
small odds that it can accomplish even these
things in the face of a capitalist emergency
which cannot afford the concessions which it
might have afforded in its healthier days.
Mr. Roosevelt's administration is faced with
three very formidable kinds of opposition ; two
of which are composed of those who know what
the real issues are, and the last of which,; among
whom Mrs. Pinchot and her class are numbered,
does not fully realize them. He will be attacked

The night shift took another

and returned with the startling
information that in the' home of
the greatest secretary of the
treasury under Coolidge the na
tives indulge in "calithentics" to
keep young and healthy. As the

have it that shows a commend

Winston-Salem issued a dou

its citizens refused to be an

Outraged were the feminine
members of Sociology's scout
master's class when he sought
to illustrate the equality between
man and woman by stating in
nocently, "The only difference is
that woman is paid lower wages,
like the Negro."
When the incipient rebellion
had been crushed, an argument

tion by insisting that in the
home men were not the equal of
women.
"I don't know," countered the
pedagogue, "some men can wash
dishes and cook better than their
wives."
