TEN MEN OR LESS MAY SOON
CONTROL FINANCE OF WORLD.
British Economist Declares Hundred
individuals Now Manage
All Wealth.

LONDON. March 30.-Fewer than
ten men will control the worlds fin
ances within a few years, according
to Major G. N Douglas, a British
economist who is conducting cam
paign here for the specialization of
credit. Under present conditions, he
says, less than 100 men manipulate
The wealth Of the world.
Asked to name the worlds money
magnates, Major Douglas said:
First, there is the house Of Nor
gan with its associated institutions
They dominate wealth not only on
the American continent but in most
parts Of the world.
I'm France there is Louis Louch-
eur. who has very important hold
ings in the big banks and steel cor
.Sir Basil Zaharoff, the Greek
practically controls the armament
group and is also a tremendous
power in the banking world.
Hugo SHINES dominates the fin
ancial policy of great part OF
Central Europe.
"In Great Britain, Lord Inchcapa
exerts strong influence today on
the banking and shipping world.
There are probably fewer than
100 men acting as principals ana
lieutenants for the men and lnstltu-
items | have named. No government
can inaugurate any financial policy
with any hope Of success without
first securing the approval of at
least some of them.
ut is not so much question OF
the wealth these men Individually OF
collectively own, but Of the strategic
position they manage to hold.
"Thev control credit in their re-
spective areas and can either supply
or withhold it in such way as to
retard or facilitate the production
and distribution of commodities.
"This power is gradually being
concentrated into small number OF
hands, with the result that all the
energies Of industrialized nations
can be diverted almost at will to
any end which may seem desirable
to those holding this supreme power
Every often governments are
merely administrators of policy: lhe
power of originating it hes with the
financial interests.
"No government can remain IN
office for any considerable time II
faced by a serious unemployment
problem, and the financial powers
can at any moment create an unem-
ployment problem by withholding
credit
"The present worldwide slump is
undoubtedly due in part to credit re-
strictions decided upon by financlers
who want to bring labor to heel"
Professor Soddy, the eminent Ok
ford University scientist, supports
the views of Major Douglas.

MIR. EDDY BONN DIES.

Mr.. Eddy BONN, the victim of the
accidental shooting reported in on,
last issue, finally succumbed to his
injuries and died on Monday even
ing.
He was taken to his home at Lo-
reauville Tuesday and buried from
st. Joseph's Catholic Church.
This is indeed a sad incident, as
he leaves two small children, one a
baby only two weeks old. We under
stand that the mother, due to the
shock of her husbands death, is also
quite ill.

THREE BIG IMPROVEMENTS.

The old wooden building. formerly
occupied as a Chinese laundry, but
partially destroyed by fire several
months ago, was sold this week and
removed, greatly improving the app
earance of Main Street in the vicini-
ty Of the Elks Home.
The large two-story frame building
in the rear of the Elks Home was
also sold and removed. We under
stand that it was purchased by Mr.
Ulysses Landry. It's removal adds
greatly to the general surroundings
of this elegant club.
The block on Railroad Avenue be-
tween Main and St. Peter Street was
also cleared of all the old buildings
during the present week. This will
make better impression on people
coming into town from the depot.

READ LANES DIAGNOSIS

In his final report to the President,
upon completing his work as secre-
tary of the interior Franklin X. Lane
sketched with a sure hand out of the
abundance of his experience the pres
ent Washington condition.:
The call is for thinking, planning. ensl-
neering, craftsmanship. For we are quick
ly passing out of the rough-and-reauy
period Of our national life, in which we
have dealt wholesale with men ana
things, into a period of more intensive
development, in which we must seek 10
find the special qualities of the individual
unit, whether that unit be an acre OF
desert, a barrel of OIL mountain
canyon, the flow Of a river or the capac-
ity of the humblest of men.
ITO conquer and to maSter-the same
old task is ours but not in the same old
wsy. We have discovered this land ana
made it ours, but this is not the end
Of our journey, for now we are TO give
thought, the deepest thought, to the ways
in which it may be made to yield most
abundantly in the things which a com
pick society with most imperious curl
osity demands.
Washington is combination OF poltl-
cal caucus, drawing-room and civil serV-
ice bureaus 1t contains statesmen who
are politicians and politicians who are
not statesmen 1t is rich in brains and
in character. 1t is honest beyond any
commercial standard. 1t wishes to do
everything that will promote the public
good. But it is poorly organized for the
task that belongs to it. Fewer men OF
larger capacity would do the task better
Ability is not lacking, but it is pressed
to the point of paralysis because of an
ina nd Of foil nd II
on the part of the great body of public
servants to take responsibility. Every
one seems to be afraid of everyone. The
self-protective sense is developed abnor-
mally, the creative sense atrophies. Trust,
confidence, enthusiasm-these simple viz
tues of all great business are the ones
most lacking in government organization
We have SO many checks and brakes
upon our work that our progress does
not keep pace with the nations require
ments. We could save money for the
government if we had more discretion as
to how we should use that given US.
For the body of the civil servants there
should be quicker promotion or discharge
and sure insurance when disability
comes. For the higher administrative
officers there should be salaries twice as
high as those now given, and they should
be made to feel that they are the ones
responsible for the work of the depart
ment, the head being merely an adviser
and a constructor of policies.
AS matters are now devised there are
too few in the government whose bust
ness 1t Is to plan. Every man is held to
detail, to the narrower view, which comes
too often to be the department view or
some sort of parochial view. We need
for the day that is here and upon US
men who have little to do but study the
problems of the time and test their ca
pacity at meeting them. In word, we
need more opportunity for planning, en-
cheering, craftsmanship above, and moro
hxed authority and responsibility below
The employment methods of the gov
eminent could be improved. Under,

The ball is believed to be much livelier
and the batters are not as conserva-
tive in their hitting taking a cut at
the ball at any old time.
Alexander believes it is more of a
puzzle to pitch at present than in
other years because the hurler never
knows when the man at the plate will
hit. In the old days if the count were
two and nothing or three and nothing
the twirler could lay the bail over the
plate without fear of having it driven
over some fence, out he cannot do
that ii these Gays. He has to bear
down at all times.
Yet with this change in the system
of playing ball Alexander continues
to shine and thus far is the most
consistent winner on the Cub team.
