EMBARRASSING
MOMENTS
what the Moon Revealed.

A friend and / roomed in a pri-
vate home while in college, and one
night the landlady told us she was
taking in another student. He was
a very studious chap and usually
spent each evening at the college
library. We saw little of him, as
he came in late and evidently went
directly to his own room.
But the first night after his ar
rival We heard loud shores that
continued all night. 1t annoyed my
roommate more than il did me. and
he proposed that we go down the
hall to the other bedroom and carry
the cot and occupant out into the
yard. So when the sounds were
particularly annoying we crept
down in the dark and carried out
both cot and sleeper. We knew our
way about and got out into the
yard nicely with our burden, but a
bright moon was shining out of
doors, and what did we look down
upon but our landlady's face! We
stole quietly back. scared to death
for fear she would awaken.

large molars or grinders will start

GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE IN
BUSINESS.

When Secretary Hoover called representatives of
the coal producers together and made it plain that
the Goveonment would not tolerate increase in the
price of coal of the shortage resulting from
the strike it very proper Governmental inter
ference. 1t that in the long cannot fail
to be of benefit the operators themselves for
If there had been raise in the price of coal the
pubic sympathy that is largely with them would
almost certainly have been transferred the strikers
and public opinion when ntelligently directed is a
powerful factor in big business.
Mr.. Hoover's action in this case far different
from the sociastic theory Government operation.
1t simply supervision in the interest of the public,
and governments organizations for the protection
and furtherance of the public interest 1t an
interference such upsets industrial and business
conditions. 1t tending to keep conditions as
nearly normal possible.
On the other hand when the Government goes into
business it disurbs things generally and results in
incompetent management and development When
business and industry privately operated those
1ected for executive positions chosen for the pur
pose of getting results Competency is the test The
managers thoroughly familiar with their work
and their particular tasks. If industry does not fol-
low this system falls before its competitors. On the
other hand, when the Federal Government undertakes
to do business the managers usually with
political pull-whether partisan otherwise. If a
is discharged there is frequently Congressional
investigation Self-promoted secretaries of various
leagues clubs and associations threaten bulldoze
legislators and executives. Half-baked theorists,
chair warming jawsmiths publicity chasers pandering
oficeseekers the disconnected and the grouches
powers behind the throne
When one considers the practical operations from
demonstrated experience when the Government enters
business his respect for Jefferson who commended that
tthe best government is that which governs least be-
greater The Government should as far as pos
sble interfere with the operation of business only
when the public interest demands interference. Mr.
Hoover's action in the coal situation is example
of justifable government interference.

nations, cannot expect political sOlu-
ton of the European problem.
Indeed the striking way in which this
truth has been brought to light at the Genoa
Conference raises the question whether after
all the greatest accomplishment of that
ference may not be the final recognition that
the great problems must be worked out
chiefly by conferences of economic and finan-
ca experts. 1t is now expected that num-
smaller conferences of experts will fol-
low the Genoa Conference, the most interest
ing of which is that of the representatives
of the great banks of issue. The meeting of
these experts offers the most promising step
toward solution of the great European
problem.
The second outstanding result of the
Genoa Conference is the renewed confirma-
ton that very large part of the difficulties
that are responsible for present political ir-
reconciliation is found in the international
financial obligations. No plan approaching
practicablity has yet been proposed that
does not involve readjustment of these OBJ
legations.
The third outstanding fact is that Europe
appears unable in herself to accomplish the
readjustment of the international debt situa-
ton. No comprehensive plan of readjust
ment has been proposed that does not in
volve either cooperation of the United States
in the readjustment of these obligations
large loans from this country to Europe.
Just how and when the United States
will find in Europe conditions which will
render it practicable for her to lend all
needed help cannot be foretold. How
ever, the prospect that American inanciers of
high standing are to enter into conference
with their colleagues in Europe is
surfing.
Notwithstanding the magnitude of the
differences which have appeared at Genoa,
there is still hope that the effect of the con-
ference will ultimately be to clear away some
of the uncertainty that has blocked earlier
agreement. The history of the conference.
however, shows that in the past we have not
exaggerated the magnitude of the European
problem and that the solution will call for
the greatest possible degree of cooperation
on the part of all nations, including the
United States

THE GENOA CONFERENCE.

The Genoa Conference has definitely shown tina
international economic reforms cannot be expected
from ministers whose political careers depend thei
success in advancing the irreconcable demands o.
their countries, the National Bank of Commerc,
in New York believes. 1t is also evident that Europe
appears unable to readjus her International debts
without the cooperation of the United States The
bank, through its Commerce Monthly says:
1t is too to know what the ultimate
= effects of the Genoa Conference will be.
!. Three facts however, stand out. In the
first place, it appears too much to
pect that the ministerial heads whose polit-
cal life depends upon maintaining the con-
fdence of majority of their constituents,
will endanger their control at home for the
sake of practicable international economic
programs. At least it may be said that
approach to cooperation by political repre-
sentatives of governments sufficient to ac-
complish practicable sediment. appears
tremely doubtful long the claims of
important European countries irrecon-
cilabe as they appear.
