but the number is being reduced daily. And in
this regard, it is significant that the business
spurt reported by Dunn & Bradstreet is absorbing
many men. Federal public works projects are
going forward rapidly, and Mr. Hopkins himself
said here recently that by December he hoped to
"substantially relieve" the unemployment situation
here. If the claims of the administration are valid,
the public works program will ring the final
knell of the depression.,
It is also significant that as business becomes
better, the opposition of business men to the New
Deal increases. Certainly it would greatly aid
recovery if the New Deal would drop its "attacks"
on business.
But on the other hand, the New Deal program
has as its objective the cleaning up of some of the
more unsavory aspects of our economic system,
and as such it should proceed in its task uncom-
promisingly. We do not think it should stop com-
pletely and allow recovery before forcing reform,
but neither do we feel that it should seek reform
in a manner which jeopardizes recovery.
It is not a dilemma, and the solution lies in a
better and more efficient administration of the
program we call the New Deal.

Take Liquor Control
Out Of Politics ...
THE STATE Liquor Control Com-
mission since repeal has handled
the liquor situation in Michigan in a way that has
satisfied practically no one. This is as true of
the Democratic as of the Republican adminis-
tration.
There have been many justifiable complaints
against the commission's confused policies of ad-
ministration, and more serious charges concern-
ing particular acts of the commission.
Certainly the liquor problem is not one that
is insuperable. The administration of a thing
like this will always find disfavor among indi-
viduals, it is true, yet it is silly to believe that
an intelligent and professional handling of the
problem will not be recognized and appreciated
by the great majority.
But this intelligent and professional administra-
tion will come only when liquor distribution is
taken out of the hands of politicians. In none
of our governmental departments is the need of a
non-partisan, expert force under civil service reg-
ulations so apparent as in the state liquor adminis-
tration.
Things That
Fame Won't Do...
FAMOUS in his way, the creator of
Mickey Mouse knows the limita-
tions of celebrity.
Thirty-four years old this week, Walt Disney
commented:
"Many young people ask me how it feels to be
a celebrity. All I can say is that it is a fine thing
when it helps to get choice reservations for a
football game. It doesn't feel so good when an
autograph enthusiast picks you out of a crowd.
Most of the time, I imagine, celebrated people
just don't go around feeling that they are celeb-
rities. As far as I can remember, whatever celeb-
rity I have, has never helped me make a good
picture, or a good shot in a polo game, or command
the obedience of my daughter, or impress my
wife."
Despite a sudden rise to fame, on the crest of a
wave of popularity in which Mickey Mouse became
the best known ambassador of America in foreign
lands and a popular favorite of children and adults
alike in this country, Disney has no misconcep-
tions about the power of such widespread recog-
nition.
Public greatness is fickle and transient; a man's
own greatness endures after changes of taste,
modes and fashions. America's great men are not
to be found on our front pages. Note well those
words: "whatever celebrity I have has never helped
me make a good picture."
We Are Outu
Of The Woods ...
B USINESS IS ENTERING the final
month of 1935 in a fresh burst
of activity, Dunn & Bradstreet's weekly review said
Thursday.
In itself the report means little or nothing.
Always as the holiday period begins, business im-
proves. But the review goes further to compare
the present spurt with that of December 1934.
Wholesale orders "bulked larger by 20 to 25 per
cent" than a year ago," the review declared, and it
gave retail trade at a 5 to 15 per cent increase.
That statement is significant. It is a definite

Oil And War
To the Editor:
To those Americans who are really sincere
in their view that the United States should keep
out of the present European difficulties, the an-
nouncement of Secretary of Interior Ickes that the
United States will not include oil in its list of em-
bargo products should be a real encouragement.
This fact should prove to The Daily editorial
writer that the United States is neutral in its atti-
tude. And rather than upbraid Secretary Ickes
or the present policy, I can see definite advantages
in such a stand.
As far as can be seen, the only nations intrin-
sically interested in stopping Italy's warfare are
England and France, and especially England. If
the United States would have said that she would
have included oil in her list of embargo products
it would definitely have placed her in accord with
England, and that, most certainly, is not the act of
a disentangled nation.
The danger of a World war has come since
England became actively antagonistic towards
Italy's Ethiopian activity. We would indeed be
dull if we could not see that it is against Britain's
interest for Italy to succeed in her present efforts.
It is a bit difficult then to understand the state-
ment, "European nations making an effort to pre-
vent war,' when the threatened "Oil Embargo"
initiated by England has been the closest thing to
bringing about a World war. Of course, even
Italy admits that such an oil embargo would neces-
sitate a cessation of activities in Ethiopia, but it
would be no guarantee of a prevention of war
against England and France in order to proceed
with these - activities. Certainly the latter means
a greater war and a greater evil.
This so-called "support of the United States" in
joining such an oil embargo would mean two
things: an understood sympathy or alliance with
Britain and France, and most assuredly an hos-
tile and antagonistic attitude on the part of Italy
against us.
The writer admitted that "any effort to sell Italy
oil - should meet with American boycott, not as a
nation," but he goes further in stating that we
should boycott as individuals, which seems that
he is saying the same thing twice seeing as how
we are American individuals.
Everyone knows The Standard Oil Company is a
selfish capitalistic concern which would sell to
anybody to make money. It seems a late date to
try to curb or change this policy. It also seems
a late date to notice the "glorious old Dollar Dilo-
macy of our country." It always has been here.
The present European situation has just brought
it to light once more is all.
But the important thing is for Europe to "clean
its own back yard," and for the United States to
stay clear of the resent entanglement. Contrary
to the belief expressed in the editorial, the Euro-
pean nations do not need the support of the United
States because, upon close observation, any fair
person can see that every European nation is a
selfish nation and that their needs are selfish
needs. It seems a bit hard to be reconciled to
Britain's bitterness toward Italy's policy of con-
quest when every student of history knows that she
amassed her own empire in just such a manner.
Too many times has the United States been ex-
pected to pull the "chestnuts out of the fire." If
France and England or any other European nation
insists upon placing themselves in an inextricable
position, they will have to learn the lesson of pull-
ing themselves out by their own bootstraps!

Queen Elena -of Italy, for the benefit of the
compiler of Hitherto Secret Things - has chucked
in her wedding ring as a contribution to the gold
fund. It is twenty years or so since Mr. Archie
Coate's prophetic song appeared in The Con-
ning Tower: "He Sold His Mother's Wedding
Ring to Buy a Ukelele."
If the Mdivani boys would give their wedding
rings to some cause, that contribution might run
into money.
"I regret," said Italy's monogamous King, "that
I have but one wedding ring to give my country."
IT GOES LIKE THIS
Sir: No banker ever told Mr. Roosevelt that
America could stand a debt of fifty billions.
Even if a banker did say that, he was just a
teeny weeny little banker.
And even if a little cross roads banker did say
that, he did not mean it.
Even if he did mean it, he meant it back there
when America was still in the hands of Americans.
And even then, he did not expect ever to be
publicly quoted.
Finally, even a banker could have been shell-
shocked in '32 and '33, but things are different

Miss Jehanne de Marea, senior in the Julia
Richman High School, has written a poem -
"Love" -that is included in "Anthology of Con-
temporary American Women Poets." In yester-
day's World-Telegram Mr. William Engle inter-
viewed her. She is wise for seventeen when she
says about free verse, "I think you ought to
know all there is to know about form before you
try to put feeling into free verse." She has her
predilections and her contempts. She is no Kip-
ling fan, but when she says "Those Princeton
seniors calling 'If' the greatest poem in the Eng-
lish language," we object. They didn't; the fresh-
men, and now and then the seniors, vote "If"
their favorite poem, but they usually go Keats
and Shelley when they are voting for the greatest
poem in the language. The interviewer didn't
ask -or Miss de Mare didn't say - what her
favorite poem was nor her selection for the
greatest poem in the English language. For her
sake we hope that she has none.

A Washington
BYSTANDER
By KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. -Back in
the depression dark ages-only a
year ago, to be precise, when New
Dealers from the President down
were avoiding carefully recovery
claims and predictions - a voice
arose out in the midlands loudly pro-
claiming:
"I suggest that not later than
(next) June or July should be the
commencement of the year of full
business prosperity in the country."
Thus General "Hell 'n Maria"
Dawes spoke on Dec. 12, 1934. Against
the immediate uproar of protest by
professional economists against the
Dawes "recovery formula" upon
which his predictionwasbaseduthe
general stoutly clung to it. And if
ever a man had an opportunity to
do a bit of "I-told-you-so" gloating
the general is that man as he con-
templates recovery headlines in the
press just a year later.
* * *
ENERAL DAWES did not claim
i to be the seventh son of a sev-
enth son or that he was otherwise
specially gifted for prophecy. He
had observed, he said, that in the
previous great depression and in 1873
and 1893, it had taken just five years
and seven months for "mass confi-
dence" to replace "mass, fear." Us-
ing the heavy durable goods market
index as his guide, he set the June
or July date for the start of the up-
ward trend. It was just a question of
superimposing charts of previous de-
pressions upon the present situation,
he said.
The college economists scoffed at
the Dawes prophecy. Some "anti-
New Deal groups wondered what was
the matter with Dawes. They saw
New Deal propaganda value in what
he said.
Senator Thomas, Utah Democrat,
a college economist in private life,
saw another angle to it. By Sep-
tember, with Dawes repeating his
thesis as an accomplished fact, Tho-
mas had to admit that the general's
dates had proved good but insisted
that his prediction "is based on a
fallacious reasoning."
The Dawes formula was nothing
more to the professorial senator than
'a new and attractive way of saying:
'Let nature take its course, time solves
all things.'
THE VALUE the Dawes remarks of
a year ago might now have for
political campaigning purposes crops
up in this Thomas estimate of them.
The Republican contention, as voiced
by such party spokesmen as Repub-
lican Chairman Fletcher to say nioth-
ing of Herbert Hoover, Ogden Mills
et al., is that recovery is coming de-
spite, and not because of New Deal
expenditures. They cannot well point
to the Dawes formula to show that
vast governmental expenditures had
delayed it; but neither can the Demo-
crats claim they expedited theup-
swing.
The thing still is strictly on the
Dawes schedule. The '36 campaign
outline suggested in President Roose-
velt's Atlanta speech invites Repub-
lican appeal to the Dawes formula to
show that administration "emer-
gency" measures merely piled up na-
tional 4debt needlessly; that time
would have done the job anyhow.
THE SCREEN
AT THE MAJESTIC
"THE MELODY LINGERS ON"

**plus.
Featuring a splendid cast, excellent
direction, and a good story, "The
Melody Lingers On" is one of the
better pictures of the season. Jose-
phine Hutchinson is easily the stand-
out of the picture ,duplicating the re-
markable performance which we still
remember in "Oil For The Lamps Of
China." Her part in this picture re-
quires a great deal of ability and in-
terpretative power, and we doubt if
there are many who could have done
as well.
George Houston is good though not
exceptional in his part, which is really
not big enough to give one a proper
impression of him. John Halliday
gives the steady performance that is
typical of him.
The story is laid in Italy in the days
of the World War and at the begin-
ning finds Anne Prescott (Josephine
Hutchinson), an American, studying
piano. She meets Houston, an Ital-
ian captain who is an opera singer,
while he is on leave and they fall in
love. Marriage is prevented because
of lack of time, and Houston goes
back, where he is killed. Anne leaves
her baby in a convent and after trying
to steal him back a year later she goes
away and becomes a renowned pian-
ist. Years later she traces her son,
Guido, and finds that he has been
adopted by a wealthy Italian couple
who want him to go into the diplo-
matic service.
