worked for by the weather and the
black rust, Coolidge is also being
worked for by the League Of Ma,
tions and other European institu'
tons to which he refuses to BE-
long.
These institutions-and, even
more particularly and energetically
the personal individual activities
OF European business men and
working r11en-are producing at last
a genuine revival Of European bust
ness conditions.
In Great Britain today unemploy.
ment has been reduced until ninety.
two out of every one hundred
wage-earners are at work.
Unemployment in Germany ID
even smaller than 1t is in Great
Britain.
Unemployment in France IL even
smaller than it Is In Germany.
Belgium does not seem to think
it can do much about paying its
debt to us, but it finds itself amply
able to refund its debt to Holland
and to begin making payments on 1t.
Italy under Musso1ini has been
making steady business progress.
Austria under the financial die.
tatorship Of the League Of Nations
has made astonishing business pro-
gress.
Germany is able now to balance
its budget.
The annual payments which Ger.
many will have to make on it's for
eign loan under the Dawes plan will
be only d tiny percentage Of the
annual government income which
now 1t has been able to achieve.
Europe Saving Itself.
This revival is the kind of thing
which Mr.. John w. Davis, the DEM
ocratic candidate for the Presidency,
has regarded as virtually impossible
without membership by the United
States in the League OF Nations and
without direct American govern
mental help to Europe from Wash
ington.
1t now happens without any such
membership and without any such
help and without one assisting brain.
throb from the White House.
Coolidge left Europe alone almost
as severely as he left wheat alone.
The utmost that he did for Eu-
rope was to allow the Europeans
to ask three individual Americans
Young and Dawes and Robinson
to come over and help them think.
Young-who is the leading person
atty in the General Electric Com
pany--is stern critic OF the for
eign policy of Coolidge and OF the
Republican party
He criticized that policy exceed
lngly sternly and severely before
the resolutions committee OF the
Democratic convention in New York.
Young Worked for Coolidge.
He neverthelesss just as soon as
he got to Europe to help the Euro
peans think, started in just like the
weather and the black rust to work
unwittingly for Coolidge.
He did the real thinking that pro
duced the Dawes report. He did It
on the basis Of ideas long before
worked out in the mind OF Herbert
Hoover, Secretary OF Commerce,
who Is great admirer OF Mr..
Young.
Mr.. Young carried out those ideas
and through development Of them
finally emerged into the light OF
European politics with what 10
called the Dawes report.
Dawes was the famous man in
the committee and the world called
the report after his name.
Dawes was not to blame for this.
He magnanimously gave the credit
to Young.
The world did not hear Dawes
when he said that nice thing about
Young. 1t persisted in labelling the
report with the famous word Dawes.
Mr.. Young willingly and pleas
antly conceded all the fame to
Dawes without protest.
Dawes became In theory the Sa-
viour of Europe.
Meanwhile Europe, as the facts
above mentioned in this article
clearly show, was already engaged
In saving itself.
While the statesmen for the most
part were engaged in deep ponder
Ing and in grand and lofty mental
tumbling, leading to nothing, the
native, normal, natural energies of
the European populations went to
work and started producing food
and shelter and children, Just as
those energies in all countries al
ways behave while statesmen palter
and falter.
Europe behaved just exactly as
Calvin Coolidge seems to think that
almost everything will behave II
you Just leave 1t sufficiently alone.
Coolidge Works Hard AT Job.
Coolidge works hard at what he
regards his job. He works virtual
~ not at all at trying to do things
which he does not think can Be
done governmentally.
The revival OF Europe cannot
