BRISBANE THIS WEEK For the Pacific States A Good Example • It Sold for $700 The Pacific states should interest r themselves In air defense, apart Arthur Brisbane from the national government. When a com mittee of rich men from New York called on Abraham Lincoln, told him how much money they had, and urged that he send • good battleship to do nothing but protect New York city, his reply was that if he had as much money as they said they had, he would build a battleship lor himself. The west coast states, California, Oregon, Washington, co-operating perhaps with their vigorous neigh bors of Vancouver, and other points above the Canadian border, might well have a few flying ships of their own, a sort of air militia. San Francisco, where they com bine patriotism with plenty of mon ey, and great civic pride and ener gy, might well start the idea of a Pacific coast flying force. That need not be very expensive. A hundred machines to begin with, a hundred plucky young fliers, practicing the gentle art of flying %t night, and dropping bombs, practicing espe cially mimic warfare against other flying machines, would constitute an admirable object lesson to the rest of the country. And if California, in San Fran cisco for instance, should start a little flock of one hundred machines, Los Angeles could be relied upon to hurry in with two hundred, Seat tle and other coast cities also. Such machines need not be a to tal loss. In the first place, many young gentlemen with rich fathers, not knowing exactly what to do with, themselves, extremely anxious to find work worth while, and prefer ably dangerous, would delight in each equipping his individual ma chine, for the service of the Pacific r coast and of Uncle Sam, as the nobles in the old days delighted in equipping each his regiment, or his fighting ship, for the service of the king. Two hundred or three hundred t high - powered, swiff flying 'ma chines, directed by quick and coura geous American brains, would 'be worth more to the safety of the Pa cific coast than a hundred battle ships. For the fighters that come, if they do come, will fly miles above the battleships. They would come less gaily, less confidently, if they knew that trained fliers awaited them. Hideyo Noguchi, who gave his life to fight yellow fever in Africa, will inspire many men. He was born of a proud, warlike race, intensely self centered, for 2,000 years a hermit people. The loyalty of a Japanese was to family, clan, above all to the emperor representing his race. The rest of the world was nothing to him. j Born one generation after Japan opened her doors to the world, No guchi felt the new spirit of the times. He was loyal to family, clan, emperor, race; but he was devoted chiefly to all human kind. From boyhood to the last, through poverty and many perils, he studied how to wipe out disease. He* dis covered the germ of yellow fever, developed serums to prevent the fever of cure it, led in the work “that has driven it out of America and will soon put an end to it throughout the world. Yellow fever killed countless mil lions of all peoples. Noguchi’s skill £ and devotion have saved the lives of millions, too many to estimate, most of them foreigners to whom his forefathers would have paid no attention, calling them hei-min, or no-folks. Noguchi’s self-sacrifice to human welfare sets an example that is sun to be followed. Perhaps, in time, most men will see that it is better to help one another than to kill or even rob one another.

Leaders Are in Bad Way Just Doddering to Brainless End; Spout Ghff About European Methods WASHINGTON. — The sum mer's end sees numerous still necked and pompous "old dealers” coming back from vacations in Europe, standing on the dock in New York City grant ing shallow interviews, telling how European nations have done so much better than the Roosevelt gov ernment of the United States has done to conquen the depression— then hustling off to their various clubs to growl over the assumption that Roosevelt has departed from the “American way” and is copying something over in Europe. Just one more exposition of the fact that the old Republican leadership is dod dering to a brainless end. I think Roosevelt’s record shows quite clearly that he is not only fallowing the American way, but is illuminating the American way. Now and then America produces a leader who finds the ascending path in American ways—Jackson, Lin coln, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilson— a quartet whose names have almost been worn out by historians and politicians. But they were Ameri cans who led the way and who suf fered outrageous public abuse for it —as Franklin Roosevelt is doing now—except that if I’m any judge this Roosevelt doesn’t suffer abuse —he seems to know how to shed it • • • LOT OF NONSENSE. There is a great deal of nonsense being spouted about Europe; con trasting American methods to Eu ropean methods. The returning old dealers give the impression that they are imbued with statesman-' ship; but all they really know is that someone told them England has bal anced her budget However, they will soon learn that the British bud get is entirely out of balance owing to a gigantic naval building pro gram; but they still insist that Eng land is doing a lot better than we are because England did not go off the gold standard, did not have any public works and has remained “sane.” As a matter of fact England went off the gold standard in Sep tember of 1931, and has stayed off without causing heart failure in Threadneedle street, the center of British finance. There is a subtle bit of poison in the returning old dealers’ praise of the British dole system instead of work-relief. It was not many years Ago that these same old dealers were yelling their heads off in op position to even the idea of a dole which, they said, must never come to these shores. They praised Her bert Hoover when he took his stand against the dole in a policy which permitted poor Arkansas farmers to get government money to feed their mules but not to feed their families. Now that we have tried direct cash payments to the jobless; have discarded it, and have sub stituted work relief for the dole, the old dealers find the dole to be cheaper and praise England for it Now the strange thing is that if these old dealers understood exactly what they were praising they would be horrified, because the English new deal, which started a long time ago, is redistributing wealth by a drastic income tax and a heavy inheritance tax. The kicks against Roosevelt’s mild taxes o- big money are silly in view of what the rest of the world is doing. It is sillier still to read statements from old dealers like Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Henry Allen, former governor of Kansas and Hoover’s publicity manager, Col. Frank Knox and others who in one breath protest that Roosevelt is deserting the American way and in the next kick because he isn’t doing what England did to restore pros perity. Young "eddy's famous father was once called a dangerous radical, and when I hear people assailing Frank lin Rdoefcvelt for alleged Russian tendencies I recal’ that the old guard atthe Civil war era charged Abe Lincoln with these same tend encies You may not remember your andory, but the czar of Russia had jusPemancipated the slaves of J|is empire — and many of our Capitalists supported slavery \MaJnst Lincoln! call it communism. d has baa a strong labor tent, and accepts labor prin which old dealers, big busi ness, and such industries as steel ate lighting today. I think, too, that bankers have a stronger Of social responsibility; there to be less wildcat financing; while these old dealers who fought, kicked and scratched it the New Deal’s demand that and bonds must be scruti nised here by the securities and <ucchange commission, England has been demanding safety for its in vestors for years. Our old dealers point to England as a model, ;e that Roosevelt’s attack on securities is “Communism.” ipean governments long ago out that their national econo iroblem had to be settled firmly national manner. That’s why has a much more drastic 1 policy than our AAA of little pif killing. The British government tells ’em how much to plant, harvest, process and ship in half a dozen crops. They have put government into business in a big way in their housing program, whereas our housing program is dying on its feet Half of Europe is on a govern ment power ownership status, and staid old Great Britain has so much more socialism in it than we have that it is a joke for the old dealers to come back and tell us Roosevelt is a dangerous socialist and that we ought to see how much better Eng land handles its problems. One more statement: Favorite argument against Roosevelt's re covery program is that "recovery would have come anyhow, without all this expense.” Had this country waited* for "natural” recovery, so many millions would have starved that there would have been no point to recovery at all, because the United States would have been bare as the moon. Roosevelt fed the hun gry, and now, nearly four years af ter the near-panic and bank crashes, recovery is almost at high tide in this country. Wouldn’t it have been criminal to have delayed federal aid? • • • NO WASTE OF MONET. So far the main issue of the Re publican speakers has been the “waste of public funds.” Coloner Knox is very, bitter about it, but right in the midst of the attack an this so - called waste, President Roosevelt receives the gratitude of the nation for his promise to spend more public money where it will do the most good to the destitute farmers of the drouth area There is really no waste of public money when it is spent for materials and wages—instead of being wasted the money ill being circulated. It would certainly be a crime and a real waste if Roosevelt had locked up the public funds when they were needed to save lives. The President answers this “waste” charge by telling the coun try in a fireside radio chat that he intends to keep public works ex penditures going as long as they are necessary, and within the >ast few days has announced 267 public works projects of a job-creating character. All of these were begged for by their respective communities, and provide for schools, waterworks and highways; libraries, hospitals, bridges and a score of much needed municipal improvements. What Col. Knox calls “waste” provides work for the jobless...improvements for the town. Republicans are all heateu up be cause of the stories going ’round that Governor Landon is parsimo nious with the schools. They say that if there is anything wrong with Kansas schools it is not Landon’s fault, bu*- rather the fault of state law. Governor Landon’s 1935 message to the Kansas legislature cut school costs 40 per cent. As a result the average pay of 7,000 teacheri is less than ten dollars a week. More than 450 schools have been closec, and in some districts mothers are re placing the teachers. The state of Kansas is last among 48 states in the amount of aid given schools. If the Republican tacticians surround ing Landon can cheer these facts, let them do so. Governor Landon has spoken grandiosely of the glories of free education, but there is mighty little freedom to education under sweat shop wages in the schools. The Re publican politicians may find some thing to cheer about, but the state of Kansas is doing no cheering. If Lan doi. is sincere in his interest in edu cation, he can call a session of the state legislature and hand it a pro gram that will put the public schools of Kansas on a decent level SETS ’EM THINKING. One good thing may come out of all this ballyhoo about Roosevelt saddling the country with so much debt that our children and grand children will be overwhelmed by it. The charge of debt-saddling is be ginning to make part of the com munity do some independent think ing. They find the actual debt situ ation of the American people is less now than it was in 1929—and that was the peak year of the boom when we bought everything we wanted and went into debt for it Government debts are not the only debts to take notice of. The whole structure of the debts and assets of the American people is the impor tant thing to study. Joseph Kennedy, wealthy New Yorker, has written a pamphlet on the subject showing that the actual debt burden is less now than it was seven years ago. Another deep student of affairs, E. K. Lindley, of the pro-Landon New York Herald Tribune, arrives at a similar conclusion. Treasury statements show that wher Roosevelt had permitted the national debt which he assumed on inauguration to run up to 33 billion dollars (round figures) he had also piled up eight billion, seven hundred million in assets which were not there before. Subtract that and you have about 25 billion dollars debt, which is under seven billion dollars more than the national debt at the time Hoover left office. Jf this $1, 675,000,000 Is the cost of payments on the bonus enacted by Congress; so all in all, the net burden piled up by Roosevelt for the poor dear chil dren and grandchildren to suffer under is about five billion dollars— which, Mr. Lindley points out, is approximately what we borrowed in five months of the great war—and got nothing in return for it For the Roosevelt debt we have an invest ment in public works, at least • We*tern Newtptper Valam. i .,,-;adu Furred Suits “Must” for College By CHERIE NICHOLAS START your autumn ward robe, Miss Collegian, with a fur-trimmed suit if you would underwrite for yourself a guarantee of being smartly and handsomely appareled through out the coming round of campus and social activities. In fact the ver dict handed down from the supreme court of high fashion declares a suit dramatized with lavish fur embel lishment becomes an absolute “must have” this season for every woman and most especially for the college girl who would do the cor rect thing in matter of practical stylish daytime dress. Since fur-laden costume suits are so outstanding on the current style program we are picturing r trio of last - minute models that simply radiate with style-significant de tails. These stunning ensembles were recently shown at a fashion revue presented by the style cre ators of Chicago in the wholesale district—a brilliant affair that in trigued a vast and appreciative audience to a point of high en thusiasm. In these striking fashions three distinct trends are indicated—pep lum, tuxedo (with reefer sugges tion) and tunic. Geneially speak ing, the costume suit program for autumn and winter classifies into these silhouette influences. The daring, flaring youthful pep lum effect that distinguishes the colorful trotteur suit to the left car ries appeal to the slender figure. This snappy walking suit of import ed wool in the new moss green is lavishly bordered with red fox, a color combination that tunes in superbly with a glowing autumn landscape. The blouse is of rich tame, me elegance oi me material of which the blouse is made carries an important message in regard to the new fabric collections which foretell the use of most opulent and grandiose weaves for fall and win ter fashions. Per example the lat est move is to wear a waistcoat of costly brocade with the new suit as a happy diversion from the reg ulation blouse. As to evening vel vets and satins and such they are superbly beautiful and “classy.” A tuscan wine costume of nubby wool is centered in the group. Here we have a jacket with fitted back and a spectacular lynx tuxedo front that dramatizes the picture. The very new and popular fur reefer fronts such as stylize both jackets and long coats are quite similar to the tuxedo treatment The dress with the “tuxedo” jacket is of matching material. Xt interprets a new neckline and has a double pearl ornament fastening down the front Speaking of leading colors the wine shades repeat their tri umph with dark rich greens (spruce green’s the new theme) contesting for first honor. The costume to the right is of spruce green wool trimmed in mink-dyed kolinsky. Here we have the more-than-evei popular tunic lines. The tunic suit is a leader among leaders this season. The deep fur bordering is typical of the smartest fur treatments for fall. The matching muff and self-fur col lar add a final touch of chic. G Western Newspaper Union. SHORT, FULL SKIRT B, CHEBIK NICHOLAS Skirts shorter and fuller is the exciting headline flashed from fash ion’s realm for fall and winter. An other significant style message is that the new modes reflect a strong British trend influenced by the forthcoming coronation of King Edward VIII. All this as a pro logue to the story of the dress here shown made of black spotproof transparent velvet with full circular Victorian skirt and a basque blouse trimmed in royal blue chiffon with metal coin dots — inspired by fash ions popular in the days of Queen Victoria. We learn furthermore from file series of fashion revues presented recently by the Style Creators of Chicago in the whole sale outlet that the coronation theme reflects in street outfits as well as in the richly colorful and jeweled evening costumes, also that the red being used is strictly a Brit ish wine color and that a typical British tunic and cap influence is evidenced in new stylings. DECORATIONS FOR HATS FOR AUTUMN Judging by the forecasts of au tumn millinery we are getting back to the days when a bat which wasn’t trimmed wasn’t considered as worthy of attention. Autumn hats have all sorts of novel decoration, usually in a shade which contrasts so that there is no chance of overlooking the elabora tion of detail. Bonnet-like shapes that look suspiciously like those great-grandmothers once wore are trimmed with pompons and perky ostrich tips. Tassels, silk cords and even spangle arrangements in sev eral different shades trim more sophisticated models. The alliance of different tones is as significant as the trend toward trimming. Novel fancies of ribbon in two shades of green appear on black felt models and those of very dark red shades. A soft raspberry tone is effective as a contrast for grayish blue. Tunics Are Now Designed for AH Types of Women The vogue of tunics has reached the state where there are tunics designed for fat women, tunics for thin women, tunics for young and tunics for old. Woe unto the fol lower of fashion who happens to choose the wrong one. Those flaring, knee length tunics which start from slender waistlines and shoot out in all directions are intended for the young and wil lowy creatures. The more they flare and the puffier the sleeves of the accompanying blouse the younger they are. Stylish stouts are .permitted to adopt the tunic theme providing they select the straight line version. Bouffant Effects At recent Rue de la Paix shows, the silhouette varied from the strictly tailored pencil lines to bouf fant effects, more effective perhaps in the full skirts because of the transparent laces which retained the willowy grace of die slim fig ures as heavier materials could not do. ir liMg...—.
