REDF|ELD DECLARES
STRENUOUS LIFE HAS
LITTLE EFFICIENCY

Providence, r. L., May 1S.-"The
strenuous life is in most cases the
least effective and efficient William
C. Redfield, secretary of commerce,
told the Brown University students
today. His address was entitled Eff
fectiVeness'
1T is an infantile view of industry
which measures its results by either
the duration or the extent of effort
he said. Both the hustler and the
apostle of strenuousness in effort have
become back numbers in their meth
DDS. They are today in the same cate
CORY with him who also ran -
Secretary Redfield discussed the
wants of human life, effort and ma
terials in commercial progress.
I'VE deplore lives lost in warfare
and had advocates of peace who are
fluent in speech regarding the horrors
of strife" he said. Yet while one
must sympathize with those who have
lost dear ones in battle, are we as
eloquent and active as respects the
many that are slain in industry? We
mourn the 10 of Vera Cruz, but in the
first three months of this year there
were slain several times that number
in the Industries of Massachusetts
without great public grief, and the
grisly list of dead from automobiles
in the streets of New York makes our
occupation of Vera Cruz look relative
ly like a pleasure excursion.
Il doubt if either state or nation is
as yet sufficiently effective in thought
on these matters to provide at once,
let us say, as many millions for pub
lie health as we would provide for a
railway in Alaska or for additions to
our navy. | approve the railway and
naval additions, but it seems to me
effective thinking would place at least
as great weight upon the value of our
men and women
