the city. DIR. Grant said that F'os-
tcr's statement that the laboring men
should organize one big union was
correct.
THAT is exactly what is going ia
happen, even if it is called the bad
name of 'syndicalism' said the
churchman. Il should like to know
where all YOU men started from.
This is q democracy, isn't it? Aren't
YOU going to give someone else a
chance? Don't you want every poor
man and woman to he just as much
u man or woman as they can be, and
be given a decent place to live in
and decent schools to so to?
"Why clerSymen are pretty keen
about these matters is because they
see there is a limit 10 what they
can do through religion. and reviv-
ais. You can conver, man as
much as possible but that doesn't
got any further than his pay envcl-
ope. We have got to realize that
the material side OF life has a great
deal to do with the religious side
and You cannot maintain the high

number of people until their material
requirements are taken care of.
"If capital thinks today it is 60

force the working man to agree to
individual settlements with capital,
of course it is mistaken. That is
not going to happen. Don't he

Philadelphia, Pa. April 12.-U. S.
Senator Carter Glass, Virginia, told
the Womcn's Democratic Club at a
luncheon today that the League of
Nations would be an important issue
of the next presidential campaign.
He declares that the attitude of the

reservations"
Denouncing certain people" who
he said would have the United States
become a member by the hack door"
Senator Glass declared that if this
country was to enter the League at
ALL it should be in a determined
and outstanding manner and not by
n side door entrance" He said that
he would vote for President Hard

enter the World Court, adding:
"If that is the only constructive
step toward America participating in
the world3s affairs that this admin
istration has to offer, I will give it
my support" j.

! The special committee on unem.
ployment from the depressions in the
business cycle appointed by Secre-
tary Hoover, as chairman Of the
Presidents Conference on Unem-
ployment: has made public the con-
illusions reached after more than
years study.
The Committee comprises: Owen
D. Young, chairman of the board of
the General Electric Company
(Chairman); Joseph H. Defrees, for
mer president of the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce; Mary Van Kleeck, of
the Russell Sage Foundation of New
York; Matthew Woll, vice president
of the American Federation of
Labor; Clarence M. Wooley, chair
man of the American Radiator Com
pany, and Edward Z. Hunt, Secre-
tary.
The committee enlisted the services
of more than 200 employers, labor
leaders, economic experts, financial
advisors and social workers. 1t was
requested by Secretary Hoover that
they make an exhaustive investiga-
ton into the facts and causes of
periodic business depressions-hard
times-and to see if suggestions
could be made of remedial steps that
might be taken by the business COM
munity to avoid such Interruptions to
prosperity and employment.
The Committee has now issued It's
own summary of conclusions and
suggestions. This will be followed at
an early date with the complete pub
LEGATION Of the facts and material
collected.
The Committee analyses the var
ious economic phenomena of the per-
iodic business boom and sequent de-
preston and it's conclusions are that
preventative measures must lie IN
the better handling of business in
boom times because depression and
hard times are due to over expan-
sion, imitation, loss of efficiency
waste and extravaganza of the boom
periods; that therefore the first point

Action Started in
Killing Escaping
u. S. Army Prisoner

Boston, April 12-To meet reports
that the killing of Ralph H. Nord-
strum of Gloucester at Fort Revere
last Tuesday was the result of a
grudge between him and Private Ed
mund Rideout who was the sentinel
in charge Of him as a general prs-
oner, Mai. Gen. A. w. Brewster,
commanding the First Army Corps
area, today issued a statement saying
that the case was being investigated
by army authorities and that a re-
port would be made public within a
few days. 1t was reported by Ride
out that Nordstrom had tried to es-
cape. and that he fired only when he
was unable to overtake him. The
sentinel is now under arrest at head
quarters of the 18th Infantry of
which both men We're members, and
the charges to be made against him
will determine whether he shall be
tried by civil or military authorities.
General Brewster said that he was
concerned to protect the interests Of
all involved-the United States, the
sentinel and the soldier who was
killed.

munity of providing for increased
consumable goods and at the same
time undertake the larger burdens Of
construction; that, therefore, the con-
struction industries are to some ex-
tent the balance wheel on the ebb and
flow of boom and depression.
The Committee points out the part
that Federal Reserve Banks can play
in restriction of speculation and over
expansion and at the same time in
liberalizing credit in times of depres-
sion, and it points out that at the
present moment the Federal Reserve
Banks hold larger supply of gold
than is necessary to support the
credit machinery Of American COM
merce, and suggests that considera-I
tion be given to earmarking a special
reserve of this gold as against prob
able future gold shipments from the
United States and thus accomplish
the double object of preventing both
temptation to imitation Of credits on
the basis Of this surplus gold supply,
and at the same time the great em-
barrassment of possible financial
credit difficulties that would arise ifI
foreign drafts were made upon the
gold which had been used as q credit
basis.
The Carnegie Foundation made
appropriations toward meeting the
cost Of the inquiry. The National
Bureau of Economic Research, The,
Russell Sage Foundation, the Fed-I
Grated American Engineering Socie.E
ties, the United States Chamber of
Commerce, the American Federation
of Labor, the American Statistical
Association, the American Economic
Association, the Bureau of Railway
Economics and the Department Of
Commerce were among the bodies
which contributed services. The vast
compilation of fact and opinion on
which the committee based its COM
illusions was effected under the direc.I
ton of the National Bureau of Eco
nomic Research, whose director,
Wesley C. Mitchell is nationality
known as an authority on the BUSH
ness cycle.

director of the Roosevelt Memorial
Association, land our research work
is a going concern. That work has
received such start that it would be
harder to stop than to keep it going.
We are now moving on to greater
activities. We want to enlist the aid
of every true follower of Roosevelt in

principles of manly character, civic
service and single minded devotion to
American institutions. The question,
What can one man do? was answered
for all time by Roosevelt himself.
Every man and woman, every girl

of attack on the problem must be
more informed action by individual
business men in periods of rising
markets in order that excessive ex-
pans;on may be prevented and the
extent of the decline reduced. Stress
is laid upon the necessity for better
understanding Of the business cycle
by the business executives generally.
The suggestions for control of excess
s:ve expansion embrace recommended
tons as to the control of credit by
individual banks, possible control of
initiation by the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn, the control by individual busi-
ness men of expansion in their own
business and the retardation in boom
times Of Governmental and large
utility building and construction.
The methods of reducing the extent
of the decline lie in the building up
of Governmental and public utility
construction in times of depression,
the use of unemployment funds and
the expansion of Federal, state and
farm employment bureaus. The bet
ter control of credit against our ex-
pansion and speculation through the
Individual banks and the guidance of
business itself by danger signals of
over expansion are fundamental.
The Committee considers that be-
fore the banks, business men and
others car take constructive action in
the enlightened conduct of business
! in this relation, there must be re-
cruited and constantly disseminated
the fundamental information on
which the trends ir business can be
properly adjudged by each individual
business man an6 it strongly recon-
mends the recruiting of enlarged and
more systematic statistical informa-
ton by the Department of Commerce
and its wider dissemination.
The Committee calls attention to
the fact that the ebb and flow in de-
mand for :onsumable goods is less
comfortable than that Of construc-
ton of buildings and equipment both

by Clifford Pinchot, Governor of

among followers OF IT. r." through
out the country. Pinchot is chairman
of the Committee on the Pcrpctuation
OF Roosevelt's Ideals, a part of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association, and
he made the announcement in connec-
ton with a meeting of his committee
i'll the State Capitol in Harrisburg.
Potentialities of Leadership
"When Roosevelt died." said Gov
ernor Pinohot, ''the American people
showed i'll a manner not to be misun-
derstood that they wanted some form
OF living memorial in addition to al
monument. l am proud and happy
to announce that this living memorial
has been created. The Roosevelt
Memorial Association has developed
q special organization whose object
will be to bring to the generations to
come the message of Roosevelt's life.
This organization is already issuing
various publications, from biograph-
ical sketches of Roosevelt for school
children to historical works intended
mainly for scholars.
But it will do more than this.
Through State and local committees it
will endeavor to impress the import
ance of the personal and civic ideals
OF Roosevelt upon the educational
system of the country. Through prize
competitions it will stimulate children
to study his life. Through special
awards it will honor those who have
done conspicuous service to the nation
in carrying on the ideals for which |
Roosevelt contended.
Il believe this living memorial to |
Roosevelt has in it the potentialities of |
q moral leadership which the nation
has not known since the death OF
Roosevelt"
