It is astonishing to see the lengths to which some of them will go. For example, there is one great church organization that sought to force the census bureau to include in the forthcoming census certain questions that would have given that church a powerful leverage in the future administration of government affairs, according to reports. The church representative tried for weeks to high pressure the census officials into inclusion of three questions. He made some threats about the consequences of their refusal. The government attorney to whom the census officials submitted the question had the guts to say no" and that was the census bureau answer. It was a despicable thing, however, and illustrates the dangers inherent in the conditions I have tried to describe. The old age pension movement and the unemployment compensation movement and the other welfare movements are represented in full force. hard-earne- "V Word comes from that Sir Seymour Hicks, who, last September, became official bucker-u- p of British civilians, NEW - j?,- V- IS ecu w, MAS fetit behalf of legislation.

Sir Seymour, who had a similar job in the World war, is Englands favorite light comedy actor, a leada ing producer and writer of consequence and a rallying point for both masses and classes, as they both claim him as their own. He is 78 years old and last month d celebrated hrs year on the fiage. He started life as a call boy in a London theater. His next job was as an undertakers mute, a hired mourner, sometimes filling in as an emergency and tke like. He wore black well and did nicely in his new career, until his memories of the theater obtruded at an unfortunate moment. He was walking solemnly behind a hearse, when a distant band struck up a tune, which carried him back-stag- e again. He swung open the door of the hearse and called out, "The overture begins now, sir. That shunted him right back to the theater, which, by all accounts, he never should have left. He has written and produced 64 plays and is the author of eight books of remi ntscence, comment and criticism. He was knighted in 1935, and May-faimade a tremendous fuss over him, with similar cheers from the populace.

It is a poor deI believe most of them scription. can be called "selfish groups" for inthe reason that the dividuals who lead (or promote) movements or causes or demands for justice usually have jobs of their own at stake. They want to keep their followers happy, especially the saps who cond tribute dimes or dollars so that their representative or their delegation may pat up a good front in the city of Washington. Any way, it is the open season for them, again. They are busier than a hive of bees. They are engaged in the annual invasion upon senators and representatives and among the numerous New Deal agencies, seeking justice, urging help for those whose liberties are being trampled into the mud, appealing for this and that and the other. There are the usual spokesmen for corporations and groups of corporations. They, too, are seekers alter justice. They are no more selfish than the lesser racketeers.
