AS TO "BUSINESS AS USUAL"

dollars. The British Bankers Magazine
has shown that the average value of 3S7
representative securities has declined
twenty per cent since the outbreak OF
the war. This is primarily a conse-
quence of public borrowings of $l5,000,-
100000 Our wealth is greater, but
much more speculative in character.
Hence it is safe surmise that our capi-
tai values will decline about as heavily,
if our public borrowings run anywhere
near S2OOO0,O00, 1000.
To put the same thing under another
form, investments will have to yield five
per cent instead Of the four per cent
adequate to maintain parity before the
war. The holders of four per cent in
vestments will have to scale down their
capital value accordingly. This in itself
will mean much. 1t will amount to the
disappearance of some forty billions Of
value But what will mean most is the
effect of the higher interest rate on new
borrowings. There is scarcely busi-
ness that will not be compelled to modify
its policy by such change in the inter-
est rate. Here for example, is rail
way that follows tOrtuous contours up
10 watershed and down again. A cut
off with tunnel would cost S10,000000
and save S450,000 year VIII it pay?
At four per cent, yes; at five per cent,
no. This principle, it is easy to see, is of
general application Our whole eco
nomic structure will have to be Icad-
iusted to higher interest rates.
We are still far from an adequate view
Of what must happen to business. There
are three parties to the distribution OF
the social income-labor, capital and the
state. The states share was minor, be-
fore the war This share will now be
immensely increased. A billion or more
will have to be raised for interest on the
public debt, if we continue at war
through next year. Another large sum
will have to be raised for pensions, and
it is very improbable that after the war
the state will pursue policy of parsi-
money and neglect toward the poorer of
New-York tribune., 1917-06-03

comes over the world that makes GER
tain things relatively useless, the sooner
their production is discouraged the
better. And this encouragement is nor
mally effected through the unwilling
ness of the public to buy. But there is
no need here for complicated economic
argument to prove that business should
not 90 on as usual. 1t is sufficient to
indicate that business can't continue IN
its customary ways. And the sooner
business grasps the situation the better
it will be for business, in the long run.
In the next twelve months we are
going to raise seven billions of dollars
in war loans, together with at least 4
billion and quarter in extraordinary
taxation. Where is all this money COM
ing from? The aggregate saving power
of the nation in time of peace has been
estimated at six billions Of dollars.
Much of this will be required for es-
tabliShmentS producing objects OF mill
tary need for transportation, for agri-
culture for housing. War or no war,
we shall increase in population by some
three millions, and the provision of
shelter and productive equipment for
the additional population must somehow
be made. 1t follows that several bill
ions will have to be saved out Of the
sums we ordinarily spend on the neces-
sites, comforts and luXuries of life.
Shall we retrench equally on all three?
We cannot. Therefore it is vain for the
purveyOrs Of luXuries to hope for bust
ness as usual. It is time for them to
take in sail.
This, however, is only a minor part OF
the problem that business will have to
face. War, the devourer, will by no
means be content with a single seven
billion dollar loan. If the war continues
through next year. as all the official
prophets predict, we shall have to raise
another seven billions and perhaps still
another. This, it may be said is mere
bagatele as compared with our two hun
dred billions Of wealth. But let us not
overlook the fact that the new savings

part of this legal defence all the facts
in the life and circumstances OF the ac-
cused. all that the committees counsel
considers pertinent to the crime. Espe-
ciallv important are the committees IN
vestipations when verdict of plea OF
guilty brings the prisoner up for SEN
tence. There the Voluntary Defenders
Committee has facilities Tor bringing to
light extenuating circumstances that
not even the ordinary capable lawyer
could have at his command.
There is Mrs. Marion NJ. Goldman,
Director Of Investigations who has for
eight years run the illuminating gaunt-
let of every kind of protective and pro-
baton work. Eight years spent on the
prosecution side in cases Of juvenile
delinquency have made her word law
to the courts, and now that she is on the
side of the defendants, her prose
cutting activities have left her free OF
sentimental elusionsd. She has been bor-
rowed from one of the leading social
service organizations in this city, and
the Defenders Committee is aghast at
the thought of having to return the loan
Then there is Mrs. Helen G.. Timko.
linguist and Investigator. who speaks
eight languages and is invaluable for
getting at the roots of the crimes that
rise out of the muddled slum life below
the poverty line.
The committee considers all this So
cial investigation necessary, as it wishes
to make the living conditions and life
histories of its clients part Of the legal
facts in case.
"Twenty-fve years ago. said Mr.
Embree, "a theft was theft, whether
the man who did the stealing was drug
fend or not. Already in our first hun
dred cases we have succeeded in divert
ing drug addicts from the penitentiary
which would not improve them in the
least, to reformative farms, where they
would have a chance to be cured. An

assignment lawyer cannot bring the
facts of disease or insanity, or path
ology before the court, because ne
does not know them, and has no facili-
ties for finding them out.
"Our Investigators undertake a rigid
and painstaking research. They enable
us to bring the facts of crime before
the courts in their complete setting and
history. They make human facts legal
facts
If the Defenders Committee finds
evidence to show that the accused is
guilty. the counsel urge him to plead
guilty. If he refuses, as his lawyers
they are morally bound to see 1t
through, but they warn him that al
though they will give him the best de-
fence possible, they will neither allow
him to commit perjury, nor use ire
sponsible and lying witnesses. If ne Is
not satisfied with this kind Of defence
he is at liberty to ask the court for
other counsel.
They have found no cases so far where
. palpably guilty man has refused, on
the recommendation Of the committee,
to plead guilty. There was only one eX-
ception, now in home for the feeble
minded. For whenever there are
real extenuating circumstances the
prisoners know that the recommends
tions of these volunteer counsel have
great weight with the court. Just as
they have found, on the other hand, that
the Defenders Committee is by no
means a sentimental organization de-
voted to the acquittal Of any poor man
who happens justly to be accused.
A casual survey of records of the De-
tenders Committee reveals some en-
couraging novelties in legal procedure.
The evidence includes more than the
bare facts Of the crime. 1t furnishes
the result of question and designed to
light up the whole background that
made the crime possible. It turns up
New-York tribune., 1917-06-03

the obscure motives and hidden ante
cedents of burglary or an assault. 1t
sees further into the case than any usual
defending attorney would care to, eSpe-
cially if the results of his search made
him discover the prisoner guilty. The
chief difficulty of the Defenders COM
mittee, in many cases, has been to pre-
vent pleas of guilty. Discouraged, pen
niless prisoners in the Tombs are ready
to settle the matter by making such
plea. when they are really innocent. The
presence and encouragement Of dis
ciplined and sympathetic counsel has in
several cases shown that the plea Of
guilty was sham, and that the prisoner
had not committed the crime.
The Defenders Committee has
brought to the attention of the court
cases that on the face of i were brazen
burglaries, committed because of an
overpowering physical desire for heroin
Bringing these facts before the court
has already sent several drug addicts to
institutions where recovery is possible.
Even in these first hundred cases there
have been several that upon investiga-
ton proved to be the crimes of insane
recidivists, OF as they have been more
inteligibly called, "nutty repeaters.' -
Sending these people to jail never guar
antees that they will not repeat their
crimes, and the counsel for the commit
tee, in conjunction with the District
Attorneys recommendations have mad
them sent to asylums.
The committee technically is organ
lied for legal defence, but it has already
found itself bureau of social investlga-
ton and social after-care. In cases
where it has secured suspended SEN
tence. the court has frequently placed
the released prisoners under the parole
of the committees investigators. So, al
though privately financed and privately
operated, the Defenders Committee per-
forms a peculiarly public function.
In defending the gangster type of
criminal Mr.. Embree and Mr.. Pfeiffer,
both of whom spent several years pros
ecuting such cases, have found that they
can be more than merely counsels Of de-
fence with temporary interest in
passing case. They have found that
proper handling of these young fellows,
with an intelligent appreciation of the
homes and histories which made them
New-York tribune., 1917-06-03

"HE WAYS of war BASS all under
standing. Such is the despair
n ing comment of thousands OF
business men. who find their solid pros
perity dissolying, as it were, under the
mere name Of war, for as yet we are at
war hardly more than in name. They
had become recOnciled to giving their
sons. if they had sons OF military age.
They were quite willing to pay their
appropriate quota in taxation. But
thev had not prepared themselves for
transvauation of business values that
might leave them bankrupt. While we
remained cut of the war the dealer IN
orchids was held as worthy as the dealer
in eggs, and, on the basis Of equal cash
incomes, rather more respectable. Now
we have become belligerent, the orchid
dealers business has become almost sus-
pect. His exquisite wares are avoided
even by the gilded youth in love, whose
lady might regard Liberty Bonds as bet
ter evidence of patriotism.
In the orchid dealers case are also
, the high priced milliners, and haber
dashers, automobile companies, enter
tainment enterprises, and heaven knows
how many other businesses that have
always been prosperous and respected.
What wonder is it that we should hear
a loud cry against hystercal economy,
fervid praises Of the principle, 'busi-
ness as usual? For this principle
plausible, if not good, argument can be
adduced. If the gilded youth do not
buy orchids, wherewith shall the orchid
dealer pay his income tax? And how
shall he maintain his score or more Of
employees, waose consumption furnishes
further revenue to the government be-
sides giving rents TO landlords, profits
and wages TO grocers and their aids and
suppliers? Would it not be better all
around if the public continued TO buy
orchids as usual, and kept money in cir
culation?
Old-fashioned economists may detect
in this argument fallacy akin to that
lurking in the doctrine that waste and
destruction make for prosperity, be-
cause Of the money they set in circula-
tion. Prosperity isn't based upon the
buying of things, but upon the produc-
ton Of things of use. When change
