The World and All
81 Charles P. Driscon

In the matter Of the isthmian canals. 7 am inclined
to agree violently with everybody. That is, everybody
except those who say that we should do nothing 1t all
and that time will take care Of everything.
The Panama canal Is carrying a load that hints
strongly Of overlooking. Shall we enlarge il? The am
swer seems to be obvious. or course We should en-
large it,
Should We make a sealevel canal Of the Panama
ditch? That, il seems to me. Is am important question
for engineers to solve. Politicians and the rest Of rs
really know surprisingly little about the engineering
problems involved. ! think the best engineers in the
world ought to be employed by our government TO
study the problems that affect the question Of what to
do about getting the canal down to sealevel, Or at least
eliminating some Of the locks.
But il seems altogether obvious to me that we
ought 70 be at work on n canal across Nicaragua. What
ever we do about the Panama canal, we ought to have
an alternative route al Nicaragua.
The Nicaragua canal can be at scnlevel. or nearly
SO. There may have TO Be locks 70 control tidal condi-
tons. But the Nicaragua canal will be an ace for rs
when an enemy bombs some Of the numerous delicate
locks at Panama. II ought to be constructed with the
idea Of national defense paramount.
Why should we pussyfoot about this question OF
national defense? Why should we be ashamed Of the
fact that We want to win the next war we ret into ?
Why should we pretend to believe that the last war
ended forever all possibility Of war for Us? we ali
know that isn't true. and we all know that there will be
wars. We don't want them, Of course. Neither Go We
want smallpox Or sore threat or gray hair at thirty.
But il is well to prepare our minds for the possibilities
and probabilities Of life.
The Nicaragua canal would shorten the distance be-
tween New York and San Francisco. for instance. b.
about one thousand miles, water route. That's an item
in commercial progress.
But the Nicaragua canal may mean the difference
between victory and defeat in the next war. After all,
no mstter how much You may deplore war (and T am a
pacifisi; a lover Of peaee) you must also deplore defeat.
A war would be a terrible thing. But il would be more
terrible if We lost it than il we won it.
Let's get the Niearagua canal under way right now.
Next 20 the Mississippi flood control. this is the most
physical project before the American people.

Two holidays every week: or 4 two-dny holiday sv-
cry week. is predicted by John J. Raskob. chairman of
the finance committee 81 General Motors. Eventually,
Mr.. Raskob believes. industry will adopt the five day
week, and the workingman will enjoy sn amount Of
leisure hitherto unknown In modern times.
Electricity, coupled with the great inventive skim
Of man. the Associated Press quotas him rs saying, will
eventually bring this about. In most cases the two-day
holiday would come on Saturday and Sunday, but IL
might be advisable, in some cases, not 70 have il over
the week end.
Henry Ford, back In the days before he began pro-
duction Of his new car, adopted a fiye-day week In
some Of his industries. People howled dismal fore
casts. IT Is interesting. then. 70 see bis udgmen-
backed UP by the predictions Or a high official Of his
chief competitor.
We are witnessing the rise Or d new aristocracy-
thu poor. downtrodden, factory slave. The same slave
i enjoying more leisure than his employers. in many
cases. Certainly more than those who pursue the So
called white collar jobs. Electricity, machinery Of
all sorts. had made the lot Of the industrial worker
easier and more pleasant; increased his productive
power, 50 that Ne can accomplish a. much In five days
Of six or 50 hours a. he accomplished. at one time. in
seven days Of twelve or fourteen hours. He Is not be-
ing displaced, bit his productive capacity has been
multiplied. His wages. therefore, move upward. Ma
.chinery isn't his competitor in industry; IL Is his ally.
and It contributes to fattening his purse the meanwhile
he enjoys such leisure a. his predecessors never
dreamed Of.
Perhaps machinery will be invented some day to
relieve the labor Of the human brain as we'll as Of hui
man hands. As it is, the brain Is being worked over
time to find methods for utilizing the labor-saving ma
chinery we have today. The real slave in the modern
scheme Of things is the man who makes his living with
his brain, rather than with his hands. The skilled labor
class, the industrial workers, are finding constantly
increasing leisure, and the means TO make use Of it.
Fof him "a ~five-day or a four-day week Is but a step
away. His employer. chained to responsibility which
no machine yet invented may tighten, can only yearn
for the leisure and the freedom Of the American wage
slave"

Opposition 20 control Of truck traffic by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission was voiced at the recent
meeting Of the American Bar Association in Boston.
C. 3. Baldwin, chairman Of the highway transportation
committee Of the National Industrial Traffic League.
told the association that the railroads were seeking to
have the Interstate Commerce Commission regulate ia
serstate motor trucking. A bill to that effect has
already been presented in congress giving the commits
sion jurisdiction over motor trucks engaged in inter
state commerce.
The assertion was made that only two per cent Of
motorized commercial traffic was engaged in long
hauls and that to apply regulation for short hauls
would ruin the business. Mr.. Baldwin suggested that
regulation be left to the individual states.
Motorized commercial traffic is at present very
much in the same condition as the railroads prior 10
the enactment Of the railway regulation law Of 1904.
At that time the railroads opposed regulation upon the
same grounds AZ the motor truck companies now OBJ
rose It. They insisted that the states should have the
regulatory powers, and that regulation by the federal
government would denoralize the railroads Of the na-
tion. There ae few rail executives today who have not
completely reversed their opinion concerning regulation.
That our Transportation systems would Be il Y
chaotic condition we're it not for the regulatory powers
OF the federal government is generally conceded, and
the same Is true Of the motorized commercial traffic.
This traffic is Increasing more rapidly than rail traffic
increased even during the palmiest days Of The zo-caIled
rail barons, " and that II must be placed under federal
regulations Is obvious.
Practically all states are now regulating the motor
ized commercial traffic, but there is no marked SINH
larity between the laws Of various states. and there "a
no possibility Of al states agreeing upon any set az
regulations. This leaves the matter up TO the federal
government. which can impose regulatory measures
which should prove as beneficial to motorized COM
msrcisl traffic as did the railway regulation law Of
1904 10 interstate rail traffic.

By DIR. ROLAND DE HEcEpus


Former Hungarian Minister Of Finance.
Or. Roland de- Hegedus has been prominent in
Hungarian political and diplomatic circles for many
years. He i considered an expert IN finance and
has held the position Of minister Of finance in the
Hungarian cabinet. Dr.. de Hegcdus il often re-
ferred 70 as the strong man Of Hungary" AZ the
present time he Is president Of the Hungarian as
ISOLATION Of banks and savings banks. He has been
visiting the United States as guest Of the Ameri-
can-Hunearian Chamber Of Commerce in New
York City.
The world war was one consequence of the fact that
world history left Europe and shifted 70 America. You
can prove from your statistics On immigration that the
European countries which collapsed in consequence Of
the war were just those countries which could not sus-
tain their own populations-Russia and Austria. FOR
instance-and sent millions Of their people to the shores
or the United States.
The shifting Of the worlds population from one
to the other was followed BY the fact that
the greater part Of the gold Of Europe was bound to
leave the old continent. A consequence or this situa-
ton is that for the next 1900 years. the United States
viii be and must Be the leader not only Of politics but
also Of the destiny Of ali humanity.
It Is an utterly false conception to think that II
America. the happy owner Of So per cent Of the gold Of
the world. would give her money or her wonderful
banking or industrial organization to Europe, that mag.
nificent gift would create peace and happiness on out
unfortunate Old continent. On the contrary. this very
gift would mean the commencement Of a new and most
fearful war and the ruin Of perhaps al western civiliza.
tion. You cannot transfer American policy or Ameri-
can economies to Europe without American principles
Ny deep conviction il that the happiness or unhap-
piness Of the world depends upon the answer to one
single question-are the people Of the United States
morally ready to lead the world and make its history
for the next 1000 years? Is the United States ready 10
lead itself, Europe. and M the victorious and defeated
peoples Of the werldg II not, We are all lost
