Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia
gives so7ne\ facts an regard to the
functions of the war board and what
it should be able to do if it is put IN
operation at this time, and how 1T can
grant to the nations over the sea
credit so that the peoples of that
country might be able to go to work
and help us by using the raw mate-
rial which we have and which they
want, and he says they would be able
to give ample security for the loan,
but that It would be necessary to
give them ample time in which to
pay for 1t.
He shows how much of our cotton,
for instance, they could use, and
that they need it should be evident
to every one when the calls for aid
TO keep from freezing and starving
are read.
It is just what we have said all
along, that there is really no over
production of either cotton OF food.
The thing needed is to be able to let
the neople have it who really need j.,
and if they can give us the proper
security it does seem that there
should DE some way in which to grant
Them the time necessary for them
to be able to pay for it.
And besides that, as Mr.. Sradth
says, unless we can aid them with
what we aave they will not be able
to pay the inde9,nities which have
.ibeen charged against them on az
count of the war. Their mills are
standing idle and the people are
wanting to go to work and are wih-
ing to work, and it would seem to us
to be the part of business to give
them the opportunity if We can, and
those who should know say, that the
war finance board, or whatever it Is
called, is the one way by which VIC
can extend the long credit that i;
necessary. -
But we doubt very much if Press'
dent Wilson will appoint the oshe:
two members of the board SO that il
may function, and then' if the Re,
publicans carry out their policy ths
appointees will not be confirmed. Il
seems that Mr.. Houston is deternlln'
I ed that: this board shall not be re.
vived.
But il isnpt 50 long as it has beer

they will examine it carefully and
arrange to keep the district within
the income, and if there should be
any doubt about it I would like to
have them confer with me and let US
get together and see what is best to
be done. I am very anxious that
every school shall have at least a
seven months term, but it is extreme
ly important that we keep within the
income this year. In several Of the
districts we are largely dependent
upon the state appropriation to run
the school at all. If the legislature
should by any means fail to make the
appropriation to carry out its own
act several Of the schools will be in
a bad fix financially.

department of public welfare. 1t is
sponsored by General Sawyer, person
al physician to President Harding.
There is also pending a bill creating
a department of education. Then there
is the so-called maternity bill, under
which the government would under
take to contribute money, in cooper
alton with the various states, to aid
in the proper instruction of mothers
and future mothers in the care OF tNeir
children. At the last session the
maternity bill passed the senate, but
failed to come up for consideration in
the house. Also included in the list
of proposed social welfare legislation
is the Tess amendment to the vocation
al education act which would increase
the amount the federal government
woAd contribute to the teaching of
home economics to American women
and girls.
The only question connected with
the extension of the government s
paternalistic activities is whether the
taxpayers are willing to have existing
taxes continued in order to obtain the
benefits proposed under such legisla-
ton Secretary Mellon few days ago,
in a letter to the ways and means

and that there was no hope for a re-
6uction of taxation unless a halt were

tite to improve public morals; foreign
commerce is supervised by the Unit
ed States Shipping Board: the gov
eminent has lately gone into the bust
ness Of making good roads; it super
vises the marketing of healthy live
stock and enforces a pure food and
drug act, and, in the federal trade
commission it has a watchdog over
the industries of the country. Many
other extra governmental activities OF
Uncle Sam might be mentioned.
What the government has done for
the farmers in the matter of collect
ling and distributing agricultural sta
tistics it is now proposed to do for the
basic industries. Under the leader.
ship of Secretary of Commerce Hoov-
er it is planned that his department
shall collate and publish statistics re-
garding the production of the great in
dustries, the information to be free
to the public. 1t is contended that if
this plan had been operative last year
the coal buyers panic would not have
occurred for the public would have
been fully informed as to the produc-
ton of coal and the amount on hand.
Provide Publicity
But it is not proposed to stop at
coal. Publicity on production Stats
tics of Steel lumber, oil. copper, cloth
ing and other basic industries would
be provided. Men engaged in these
industries are by no means a unit in
supporting tie proposal. Those who
advocate the plan assert that men op-
posing it see in the proposed publicity
curtailment of their large profits.
The fight which the meat packers
made against the so-called packers
bill, with it's provisions for full pub
licity regarding that industry, is a
, matter of recent history.
During the past few years congress
has shown a tendency to experiment
with paternalistic legislation outside
the purely industrial field, to have the
government engage in social welfare
work and to increase its activities in
| educational affairs
