After all, if a man is to be dragged out to the opera by his wife, who has a gown that needs photographic treatment, what is the objection to adding to his not-always fervid interest in the difficulties of love among the Orientals an element of suspense?

With almost half the funds raised by taxes going as a rule to personnel, this outlay cannot escape the pruning knife when necessity compels the authorities to economize. Consequently, when an administration calls for cooperation of municipal employes in keeping down the general costs of government, self-interest should prompt the proper response. Last year in Baltimore a large share of the credit for the closing up of the year with a surplus must have been due to the efforts of the rank and file; they received their reward in the restoration, in part, of their salary cuts. A BIG BUSINESS VICTORY The big business interests that dominated the country in the pre-Roosevelt era have now just about obtained all they want from the New Deal. There remains only the threat of the licensing power which the Recovery Act conferred upon the President.

This power expires automatically on June 16 unless extended by Congress. But General Hugh S. Johnson has virtually promised that the President's licensing authority, through the use of which he could in effect assume substantially complete control over an industry, will be allowed to lapse. What these monopoly interests have wanted from the New Deal seems clear enough. Their objectives were forecast in the plan brought forward by Gerard Swope, of General Electric, in 1931.

Under this plan trade associations embracing entire industries would have been established. These associations would have adopted rules of fair competition and would have had the power to discipline companies or individuals who might violate such rules. Labor relationships would have been regulated through employe representation plans and similar schemes known to organized labor as "company unions." All that the Government was expected to contribute to this self-government of industry was its that it will also be used as a basis for establishing new labor boards in each industry. Thus, the monopoly interests have obtained from the New Deal virtually everything they could have expected from the Swope Flan. There remains only the question of the President's licensing power.

This might yet be used to upset the drive toward monopoly. It would probably be a good thing for industry and society as a whole if it were allowed to expire, but this in no case should be done unless steps are taken at the same time to restore and vigorously enforce the anti-trust laws. That, however, is apparently not what General Johnson has in mind. He would dispense with this weapon and give big business a free hand to regulate its own affairs, to combine without fear of anti-trust action, to punish smaller or weaker competitors, and to control its employes. Recently a number of outstanding industrialists have been criticizing the NRA.

Their criticism runs all in one direction. They do not want the' power of this Government agency extended or increased. Some have said that the NRA could well be dispensed with altogether. But it may be noted that not one of them has proposed that the trade associations formed junder the Recovery Act be abolished, or that the anti-trust laws be revived. Indeed, "the privilege" of "cooperative action," to use the words of Myron C.

Taylor, of the United States Steel Corporation, is the one benefit of the NRA which they mean to retain. OVERT CONSPIRACY The differences of opinion now to be observed in the Congressional committees laboring with the Stock Exchange bill are explained by some thick-and-thin opponents of all changes in the bill by the existence of a conspiracy to defeat it. If there is a conspiracy, it is one of the most vocal in conspiratorial history. The investment bankers, their employes and some of their customers have been making the welkin ring with their complaints. If there has been any secret, backstairs work, the conspiracy theorists will surely find receptive audience for its exposure.

It is my guess that you would find that John Philip Sousa's "National Emblem" had been played on various occasions, and, if I mistake not, there are several scraps of the song which made Francis Scott Key a song-writer in that inspiring march. THERE IS A MORAL Criticism by Robert Lacy, of the State Roads Commission, of construction of the Bath street viaduct as a "very expensive and project, following other severe strictures upon the undertaking, increases surprise that a public "improvement," which now appears to be without any friends at all, was ever embarked upon. Certainly, when the scheme was broached it had support of traffic experts, who said that it was essential for relief of congestion and for better connection between East and West Baltimore. And these representations were made when there was no pressing need for better facilities for through traffic, a problem that is now becoming acute. In other words the viaduct was backed because the public was pcrMiadcd to believe it was a Sound project from the local standpoint.

To hear it now kicked about as if it were sheer waste of money points a moral. It is that before approving in the future large outlay on any public undertaking, the tax-paver? should demand convincing evidence oi the necessity of the scheme and proof that the benefits promised justify the cost. In this instance, if a blunder was made nobody escapes responsibility. The viaduct was approved, after long consideration and thorough discussion, by a vote of the people.

One would suppose that the mere impossibility of performance would be a sufficient argument in support of the contention of Miss Perkins and her committee.

But one never knows. Scratch a depression and you find a Red scare. Just the same, we welcome the courage exhibited by Miss Perkins and her coadjutors at a time when thinking, if it can be so described, is moving in most parts of the world the spell. ous potential peace factors are already in existence.

In play for the North-South trophy at Pinchurst, Dunlap shattered all records for the course by posting a 63 or eight below par. But the most amazing feature of the round was that he took but seventeen putts on eighteen holes, for he sank one approach shot from off the green. That probably was the most remarkable round of golf that has'been played in years. 1 never before heard pf one to equal it. Ordinarily, good players are not discomfited when they take the customary number of two putts to a green, or 36 for the eighteen holes, though, of course, this record is frequently beaten by a snappy approach that enables one to get down with a single putt.

But to go the route in seventeen putts is a breathtaking performance, justifying Dunlap's opponent's remark that he is a right promising player. provides for the formation of precisely the sort of trade associations envisaged in the music was technically correct I do not know, but I do know that my first con ing the Rev.
