Away With SoIidity

TTOOVER'S refusal to buy support
Il l. with appointments can do
vast deal of good in American
politics. The solidity of the South
has always been distinct handicap
in the working of the two-party
system.
Until the last election conviction
had nothing to do with the electoral
results from that section. Demoe-
racy was not a faith but merely a
habit.
No party is helped in the long run
by the support of voters who are
sheeplike. The motives which led
to the recent revolt were not adj
mirable in my estimation, but good
or bad the south did finally have
the gumption to use the ballots as
a means of expressing an opinion.
But if Hoover's declaration is to
clean and Clearly the American
political situation a northern bloc
must also be broken.
In the last election the Repub-
lican party managed to vote dry in
some sections of the country and
vet in others. In New York, for in

GONE physicians recommend to
~ the prospective mother that her
own appetite is a fairly trustworthy
guide as to the amount of food she
should eat. a
Many grandmothers believe that
it is necessary for the prospective
mother to eat for two, since the
infant obviously must thrive on the
mothers body.
A few physicians have advised
that the prospective mother limit her
diet greatly with the idea that a
lowered consumption Of food will
make a smaller infant and, there
fore, an easier birth.
Modern American diet is modi-
fed by all sorts of contingencies.
We live largely on packaged and
prepared foods, We seek the soda
fountain and the candy store be-
cause of their alluring temptations.
AS DR.. J. A. Slemons pointed out,
it is not safe to leave the choice
of a proper diet to the mothers ap-
petite.
If the gain in weight is too rapid
the food consumption should be
regulated and the only way to de-

What We Want to Do

TINE dirigible Graf zepplin cele-
Il brates Holy week by making
the journey from Germany to Jer-
usalem and back in eight-one hours,
together with many side trips.
Just one more example Of how
times have changed since Christian
ity came into being.
Also, just one more example of
those immutable principles which
are essential human conduct, re-
gardless of mechanical progress.
Without moral law, such instru-
ments as the Graf Zeppelin hold
little but terror. With it, they be-
come promises of widened peace.
Whether he Yields an ak, or rides
the wind, it is mans moral attitude
that determines his role.
1t is the same today as it was in
the jungle.
What we want to do, not what
we have to do it with, remains the
All-important factor.

now without injury to productive industry as well
to speculative values, We have little faith in the
dogmatic panaceas of critics of the board.
This whole problem of national control OF credit
still is so much in the experimental stage, that the
conservative board policy of inaction is doubtless
lesser evil than rigid and doctrnaire attempt to
strangle spectators.
That is to say, most persons agree that the record
breaking total of brokers loans is draining the
tons credit away from productive industry, which
needs it; but it is not so easy to agree on remedy
kn increased discount rate not only pinches the
SPECTATOR but the industrialSt especially the small
industrialist
A higher money rate at this time probably would
liberate funds for the slipping building industry,
but well might have an adverse effect on such in
dustries as automobiles and Steel
The difficulties of the problem of credit control
in the material and psychological factors of ma
tional prosperity are great that solution cali oe
Appropriated only through close cooperation between
congress and the federal reserve board
If the board needs larger powers, as Glass and
others believe such authority can be granted at the
coming session. But nothing be gained by con-
gress trying to make scapegoats of federal reserve
board officials.

Glass on Wall Street

Inc attack of Senator Glass on Charles E. Mitchell
president of the National City Bank of New York
1or coming TO the credit relief of brokers holding I'm
the inflated Wall street market is in danger of OBJ
scnlng the issue. 1t over-simplifies the problem
Mitchell has right to disagree with the federal
reserve policy of restricting brokers' loans Whether
he should have resigned Official of the Federal
Reserve Bank OF New York before furnishing funds
which re-infated the falling market or at least re-
sign now, as demanded by Glass is relatively nm
important
That decision can be left to Mitchell and the
board But the essential point is that neither the
cause nor the OF the present unhealthy credit
condition rests with Mitchell
The ultimate reSponsibility-in so far as if rests
on any outside agency-is with the federal reserve
board itself For reasons. good or bad the board has
failed to take definite action. After long delay it
finally issued its famous warning" or request for
cooperation of banks in restricting speculative credit
Such cooperation has been Forthcoming in unex-
pected measure But it is neither reasonable nor
practicable to depend upon the banks to bear The
whole burden
Until the board itself uses its own weapon OF rails
ing the discount rate experience has shown that no
mere warning, is sufficient Even such definite
action by the board might not achieve the desired
end though probably increased board rate at the
psychological moment of falling market would pre-
vent the kind OF upward rebound experienced this
week. Many financiers and economists insist that

Usually Republicans

TN New York elections the Negro
l. vote is by no means solid. Smith
got a great deal of Harlem support
each time he ran gor Governor, but
it did not follow him in national
elections.
In a presidential year political
leaders are practically justified in
saying, There Goes a Republican, -
wherever dark-skinned man walks
by.
1t seems to me that the solid
south was bad for the nation, bad
for the south and bad for the Demo-
Gratis. The Negro bloc is also a
political hazard. Colored men have
been Republican very largely be-
cause Lincoln freed the slaves.
Lincoln has been dead long time
now and not all members of his
party are his direct political de-
scendants.
The true American issue is the
urban population against the rural.
The cities want autonomy and the
farmers liberalization. We are wet
and they are dry.
We stand for the new America
and the farmer, in spite of certain
foreign admixtures, supports the old
Puritanisrn. Liberalism lives in the
towns. Conservatism thrives on the
farms.
In the north the Negro is largely
urban. However, the city voters
are not wholly given over to COM
plete laissez faire philosophy. In
America, as in all countries, liber-
alisn, and radicalism as well, must
come from the towns.
Such questions as old-age insur-
ance, the eight-hour day, the mini
mum wage, and unemployment are
city problems.
A farmer may be stone broke in
terms of cash, but you never will
find him on the barbados calling
for bread. The cry for a better
distribution of wealth must always
come from the centerS of popula-
ton.

president HoovER's criticism

nRESIDENT HOOVERS criticism
l. of Republican corruption in
certain southern states is a political
event of high Importance. He is
justified by the facts, but one does
not have to read wholly between
the lines to see the true inwardneSs
Of the statement. The President
wants to hold his gains in the south.
It seems likely that highly spe-
cialized conditions led to he Demo-
cratic OBJECTIONS in the last election
The Republicans can not count on
having a wet and Catholic to un-
derlnine in every campaign. If the
south is to be kept from solidify-
ing once again the ruling party
must offer some more permanent
bait than the chance to vote against
the Vatican.
Hoover has made that offer. Al
though he does not say so in so
many words, the clear intent of his
language is that the Republican
party now purposes to be lily white
in the states where the Negro has
no vote.
The Republicans OF the deep
south voted in a perfunctory man
ner or not at all in national cleo
tons. Their real balloting was done
at national conventions.
And since they could not live ex-
cept upon a diet of plums it was
the custom to dispose of these votes
ever four years to the candidate
who made the most attractive offer.
But for these rotten boroughs it
would not have been possible to put
over a Darkroom nomination such
as that of Warren Harding.

Mans Most Risky Game

THE Mexican revolt draws to
Il climax, which does not nee
essarily mean a big battle.
The rebels have done little but
retreat so far, and that is the way
they may decide to end it all.
On the other hand, Gales may
take the decision out of their hands
and force battle, even though they
would prefer foot race.

pear uncertain as to what will

rs Wall Street challenging the
l. federal reserve system, and if so
to what end?
Is Mitchell's statement to be ia
ken as an intimation that no mat
ter what happens, speculative inter
ests should be protected?
The federal reserve system was
established for no purpose so dis
tictly as to take control of the
money power out of the hands of
spectators.
That most people thought of thsi
in terms of depression, rather than
in terms of imitation, makes little
difference, since it is generally un-
derstood that depression is the re-
suit of imitation.
The federal reserve system can
not prevent depression without pre-
venting imitation. If we want the
latter we must take the former
along with it.

Help the City Hospital

apolis great service, one that can be estimated in
terms of lives.
That service is the approval of the city hospital

With hospital facilities taxed to the limit, with
institutions damned to the doors, there is need for
