Ell Chirri6n de los POliticos.

La superioridad Intellectual, la alta
jerarquia literaria y el buen sentido
estGtieo de Azorfn no podian degra-
darse hasta rendir su servidumbre al
facil insolvente oficio, que tan afa-
nosos Y vehementes braceros tiene en-
la hora presente de leiiadores que
hunden su hacha iracunda en- ell cal
do aarbol de los politicos caidos.
q Asi, al urdir la fantasia monal
colnponer ell libro que, baio el expresi-
vo y grafico tftulo de "El chirri6n dc
los politicos", ACADIA de publican Azo-
rim, no ha' incurrido' ell maestro en- el
lligero " expeditivo t6pico de contra
riar la historic, la naturlaeza las
leyes sociales con la afrmacion obso-
luta Y pesimista de que una clase So
cial determinada en- Espana sea pura,
integerrina, buena, infalible, siempre,
Ifrente a otra clase social que sea de-
pravada, venal, perfida Y en- todo mo-
mento, contumaz en- el error. "Cuan-
do combatamos, en- nuestras luchas
politicas-e escribe Azorin en- este her.
. moao, ameno, serene libro-, una
clase de hombres Clos polfticos, por
ejemplo), sepamos hacer la necesaria,
imprescindible distinction de que en-
ire los politicos, 10 mismo que entire
los componentes de cualquiera otra
clase social, existen hombres buenos
y existen nalvados. -"
Azorfn, espfritu aristocratico, no ha
descendido a escribir una chocarrera
caricatura politica para halagar Ia
plebeya voracidad de las gentes pro-
picias a insanos ensahamientos, sino
que ha ttazado, con fna ironia inte-
lectual, cuadros primorososs sobrios
entonados simb6locos de nuestra vi

con certero instinto de emoci6n, entire

cr6nica ha llegado a ser. Singular
mente los pasajes del epilogo tienen el
sabor ell aroma de la solera clasica

Azorfn, que ha vivido las intimida-

las interioridades mas recatadas y por
10 mismo mas insolentes al quedar
descubiertas, de un sistema politico
que prostituyo y envilecio muchos
de sus hombres Y arruino la ma
ci6n. . Pero la pintura del cuadro es-

~ children's day, and one Of the
things which proper Christmas
attitude should bring about is
firm resolve on the part Of each
mother to learn what Is best for
her child. and do 1t irrespective
OF the child's within or desires.
This not only Is true Of gifts
which the child receives at
Christmas, but Of its food and
ralment, its sleeping room and
its playroom. All Of these
should be as carefully guarded
as the traditions on which the
Christmas celebration is founded.

business. without a terminal explo-
sion resulting In widespread ruin and
distress; or will it insist on plunging
into mad carnival of rising costs
and supernormal building volume
which is sure to blow up in a few
months and to be followed by two or
three years of ruinous prostration?
This attempt to prevent a giddy
cost peak from which there will be no
way down but by suicidal leap is
something new In what you might
call applied economics. 1t may no..
succeed and there may be untoward
developments, but we are convinced
that nothing that may come from this
conscious effort to prevent disaster
will be as bad as the disaster itself
Doubtless the restrictive policy may
work hardship on many industrial
plants and some workers. but of
course in general program of this
kind. 1t is impossible to do individual
justice to thousands and tens of thou
sands Of cases involved. We can
only hope to attain the general good,
and that present individual sacrific rs
will be more than offset in the COM
pensating benefits that will ensue. So
far the appeal for the deferment of
construction, wherever possible, has
been generally responded to. Hun
dreds of millions of dollars of prof.
ects have been held up and the pres
ent prospect Is bright that we shall
be able to f1atten out the ominous I'M
pending peak"

Construction Halt Explained
As Effort to Saue Prosperity
Fe,U Months Depression No,U May Mean
Prosperity for Year, Gen. Marshall Es-
plains for Associated Contractors of u. S.

= The restriction of new building
operations, in accordance with the
stabilization program of the Amer
fcan~ Construction Council, is begin
ming to bring inquiries from build
ing material producers contractors
and labor organizations. Lumber
manufacturers, for example, are
pointing out that prices of lumber at
the sawmills are 35 per cent less than
in 1920. and the lumber retailers
have put out statement showing
that lumber retail prices are about
"a per cent less than in 1920. Sim
liar statements have been made in
regard to other building materials
and it is maintained that building
trade wages have not yet generally
attained to the levels of the latter
part of 1920. In view of these facts
the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association invited Gen. r. G. Mar
shall. jr., general manager of the
Associated General Contractors of
America, to explain the reasons and
objects of the restrictive program,
which he does in the following state
ment:
considering the purchasing pow
er of the dollar today. as compared
with 1913, building costs are not now
prohibitive, but we are menaced by
dangerous imitation. According to
our index figures, the cost of build
ing in the spring of 1920 was about
55 points higher than it is now G913
taken as 100. 1920 was 255 and 1928
is 200) and building material prices
were about 80 points higher-index
figures on 1913 base of 100 being
500 for 1920 and 210 for 1928 While
building trade wages are at the mo-
ment about rs points higher than in
1913, they are not quite so high as
they we're in the latter part of 1920
and first part of 1921, but as labor
efficiency falls off with increasing
wage rates, labor production costs
are rapidly mounting. The trend Is
unmistakably toward heavy increase
in the total of building costs. The
building permits issued in 200 cities
in March amounted to 1897, 900, 900,
an increase of about so per cent over
March, 1922. and the volume of build
ing now in progress dwarfs any

previous records in the history of
the country, being almost 75 per cent
greater than at any other time.
1--WE are undertaking this enor-
nous expansion of building with
a stationary, if not shrinking. labor
supply on account of the immigra-
ton restriction law and with the ma
terial industries of the country prac-
tically at the limit of their produc-
tive capacity. There can be only one
outcome of such q situation IL 1t is

to prohibitive levels and our enor-

that we are still at least years

attempt consciously to check the rise
in building costs before they become
prohibitive and destructive. We cal
culate that if all building projects
for speculative selling can be defer
red for few months, and also all
other large construction projects that
are not of an emergency nature, we
shall effect something of an equili
brium between supply and demand in
the construction industry, and will be
able to stabilize costs at present or,
possibly, slightly lower levels.
IF we do this we think that about
eighteen months of exceptional pros
perity can be counted on in the con-
struction trades, and that from then
on the building industry will be able
to gradually and comfortably meet the
new construction needs of the couu-
try. AS We see 1t, the question SIM
ply is. will the country go easy on
new building for two or three months
and thereby insure itself a year and
a half or more of exceptionally good
