Migratory Habit Still
Exists With Americans

A young man In Europe looks for
ward as rule to spending his life In
the city of his birth and, very likely, in
tie profession or business pursued by
his father. But in the United States,
for 200 years. large part of each gen.
Grafton has moved West and created
new homes for itself. Nothing could
more effectively foster individualism Of
the type advocated (and typiAed) by
Herbert Hoover.
This migratory habit persists to the
present day even when 1t has lost much
Of its economic Justification. Ameri-
cans are forever on the move; tie man
who lives in the house where he was
born Is almost curiosity.
The sense of transience thus created
leads also to certain looseness Of
community organization. and speciflcal-
ly to federation Of corrupt practice
in business and politics. The mayor Of
your town may be boodler; but after
all, since you are thinking seriously Of
moving to Austin, Tex, next spring.
what does It matter?
The departure from the old Ameri-
canism which was created so largely
by the existence Of the frontier. has
naturally gone further in the Eastern
states than in the West, which Is, even
today. much closer to pioneer condi-
lions. AS regards the career Of the
young man, for example, New England
today resembles France moro nearly
than TIE Far West.
Beyond the Mississippi, eyebrows are
still raised when young George elects
to settle down in old Georges business
instead Of striking out for himself. In
most Western communities any healthy
man who elects to live on his income
without working at something will find
himself most unhappily isolated-so-
much so, indeed, that almost invaria--
bly, Re is forced to flee to New York
or Paris. When he does this he finds
himself for the first time placed in a
society which demands from him q
definite degree Of sophistication.-New

SLOW REHABILITATION Of ENGLAND
NOW CHARGED TO LUXURIOUS LIVING

LEEDS, Feb 16.-The reason re-
habiliation in this country is so
slow, is that everyone both collec-
lively and individually spends more
than they can afford. The state
ment was made by Felix J. Blake
more recently in an address to the
Chamber of Commerce here. He said
the Board of Trade returns for
1928 showed an adverse balance
against this country of S1,O60, $40, 900
indicating that while there had been
fall in the value of exports, the
value of imports had increased and
so deprecated the value of currency
in foreign countries, causing a slight
increase in the cost of living.
"How many people," he asked "if
they could be detached from present
prejudices and could see through
the eyes of 1913, would be able to
recognize or even reconcile the
standard of living of pre-war days
with that demanded at the present
time. The theatre, music hall and
cinema make far greater demand
upon personal expenditure than they
did in 1913. Food luxuries at every
meal are more common today than
in pre-war days. and 1t appears to
be an undoubted fact that individ-
ually and nationally we are living
above our income.
Mr. Blakemore asserted that un-
less all sections of the community
were prepared to make some sacri-
flee, and return to a more humble
and less ostentatious method of liv-
ing, the period necessary for the
adjustment of the present economic
difficulties would be greatly fex-
tended
