The Senate and Prosperity

There is close connection between the special SEES
sion of congress adourning today the business stu
alton But it is not the connection imagined by such
critics as Kent the New York banker, and Babson,
the stock market soothsayer To blame congress for
the stock speculation orgy is silly, coming from any
source it is worse than absurd when it comes from
& Wall Street banker
NOW that the spectators have had their fling,
the country can thank congress-or rather the
progressives-for maintaining of the factors of
business prosperity
AS the President has pointed out repeatedly, indus
trial prosperity depends keeping up our export
trade If we lose that outlet for 10 per cent pro-
duction surplus factories will close and millions will
walk the streets without work.
The strain upon our business structure resulting
from the Wall Street defation, and the necessity for
careful planning to preserve prosperity Is shown by
the present Hoover conferences with commercial
leaders. Those conferences helpful already they
promise increased production and employment.
But nothing that the Hoover conferences can do.
nor anything else will avail if overseas markets
are shut off by foreign retaliation against higher
American tariff wall excluding their products
That is where congress comes in. Despite the warn
incs of economists despite the campaign pledges of
President Hoover and the Republican party the Re
pubican-controlled house passed higher tariff BILL
which brought threats Of retaliation from about
thirty foreign countries.
The senate finance committee, representing the
same G. o. P old guard which dominates the house.
concurred in that high tariff bill.
At that point senate progreSSiveS interviewed BY
blocking the tariff bill, through coalition with Demo-
cratic group the progressiveS temporarily have saved
our foreign trade at a moment when falling of in
orders would have serious consequences for the entire
country.
For that service, and for the lobbying revelations,
and for uncovering the armament propagandists who
helped wreck the Geneva naval conference and threat
ened the coming London conference, the nation is in
debted chiefly to the senate progressves.

ROBERT DE LA SALE
November %

TODAY is the 286th anniversary
Il of the birth of Robert de La
Sale, famous French explorer, on
Nov. %, 1913. La Sale was the
first discovefer of the Ohio and the
first explorer of greater part Of the
Mississippi river.
The Frenchman was member of
a wealthy merchant family in
Rouen, but on becoming a Jesuit
novice he lost the right to inherit
his fathers fortune and emigrated
to Canada at the age Of "a.
Inspired by tales Of the Indians
respecting a mighty river leading
southwestward to the sea, La Sale
organized an exploring expedition
and sailed up the st. Lawrence and
onto the Great Lakes. He turned
southeast from Lake Erie and fin
ally reached a branch of the
meandering Ohio.
After several other expeditions, La
Sale reached the Mississippi on
Feb. 6, 1888. He traced the great
waterway to the sea and proclaimed
the river and all the lands it drained
to be the dominions of Louis XIV,
king Of France.
Returning to France, the explorer
was fitted out with ships and men
to make a voyage directly to the
mouth of the Mississippi
The party was unable to locate
the river, however, and La Sale
was shot from ambush in 1887, dur
ing one of the repeated quarrels
with his followers

Sinclair Speaks Piece
HARRY F. C1NCLAIR think

TTARRY F.. CINCLAIR thinks
i Il that the Imprisonment i'm
posed upon him was ''in violation
of common sense and common de-
cency."
II have paid the penalty without
complaint" he says, land have
made no personal appeal for SYM
pathy.
II do not need sympathy, but I
do need and seek the respect to
which I am entitled as a man Of
honor and integrity who fully rec
ognizes his obligations to respect
the statute law, the rules of the
courts, and the ethical rules of
society"
That would sound fine if it had
not been for Teapot Dome.
Most people find it much easier
to excuse the offense for which Sin
clair was sent to jail than that for
which he was not.
Though wrongly, perhaps, the
public fails to take contempt cases
seriously. In its opinion they hinge
on offenses against system, rather
than against society, and while that
system may be essential to society,
it has become too technical and
aloof for sympathetic affection.
While the public still says "our"
schools, "our" town and "our" gov
eminent, it invariably says "the'
court.
Worse still, it regards "the" court
as an institution in which it has
no part, except through a summons
to testify or defend itself.
On one way or another, the judi
cial system has walled itself off
from the public, created the impress
sion that it is a separate institu-
ton, and developed a feeling of
fear and embarrassment in those
whom it was designed to serve.

Inventions

THE Guardian correspondent
l. speaks highly of the achieve
ments of this plan in certain lines
of research.
1.-THE indexes and herbaria in the
department of applied botany at
Leningrad are already great
achievement" he writes.
"The information on every kind
OF cultivated plant is filed there"
He throws an interesting sidelight
on conditions in Russia by adding
that the indexes are housed In the
former Italian embassy and a dis
used church, adding 1.-THE state of
repair of these buildings is no in
dication of the Importance and
quality of the scientific work done
within"
An interesting state Of affairs
exists in the relation between the
state and laboratories doing re-
searches of an industrial nature.
institutions doing research of in
dustrial Importance frequently re-
ceive their endowments from the
supreme economic council" he
writes.
"They have had to work in re-
lation with the industry upon which
their researches bear, and many re-
ceive extra endowments from the
industry for doing special re-
searches for it.
1.-THE laboratory also may sell its
invention to the state, The phyS-
leo Technical institute has sold a
radio-telephone invention to the
state, and is buying 1,O00,00O-volt
high-tension laboratory equipment
with the money"
1.-THE correspondent expresses the
opinion that in general scientific
research is we'll supported in Russia.
The endowments, he SS5[ "are
probably larger in relation to the
superfuous wealth than H. any
other country"

Giants Lose.

A S I have said, everything points
N to Yale on Saturday. Yale has
Booth, and 1 would deny no phase
of the little wonders greatness.
Still, Harvard has behind it a ira
dition much more ancient.
Records which are of all time and
not based on any single season make
it impossible for the Crimson to
lose. Who ever heard of Goliath
scoring over David, or Of the Giant
making SO much as a touchdown
against Jack of the Beanstalk?
Fate is welded wholly to iror1ic
finales. Against the big blue team,
Harvard seems weak and pitiful.
How can 1t lose?
1t isn't possible, unless all the
legends from the beginning of time
were conceived by liars.

SCIENCE
RuSsia Has Undertaken a
Program of Scientific Re-
search That May Make 1t
the Most Powerful Country
IN the World.
By DAVID DlETZ'

COVIET RUSSIA. with its passion
- for organization on a national
scale, has subjected the field Of SCI
ence to much the same treatment
it gave industry.
Scientific men in this and other
countries are watching with inter-
est to see what the future of science
will be in Russia.
The most comprehensive survey
Of science in Russia yet made by
journalist has just been COM
pleted by the scientific correspond
ent of the Manchester Guardian.
The Guardian man states that
he was "the first scientific journal
iSt since the war to tour Moscow
and Leningrad laboratories system
atically." This correspondent be-
lieves that the Soviet program OF
science may make 1t the most pow
erful country in the world.
He writes: Scientific work in
Soviet Russia is subject to social
planning. This is natural, because
all endowments for research come
ultimately from the state.
"The institutions for the study of
various branches of science have
been sorted out and placed in con-
tact with those social institutions to
which they naturally are related.
For instance, all institutions in
the union for the study of applied
botany come under the department
of applied botany and are related
to the state department of agricul-
ture.
THE thousand workers Of applied
botany work within one planned
scheme. Unnecessary overlapping
can be reduced under this CEN
tralization and the range of expert
mentation can be greatly increased,
because everybody knows what his
particular job is, and knows that, In
general, it is different from every
one else'S."

Ford and the Golden Egg

The conference of business leaders meeting with
President Hoover has agreed to stabilize prosperity by
retaining wages at present levels Henry Ford after
attending the conference went It one better. He
announced general wage increase for his employees
Ford does the unexpected as usual Fifteen years
ago he first to establish the SIS day wage Later
he the first to establish the independence of a
great industry from control by outside bankers Now
when some companies cutting wages as solution
of the business strain from speculation defation
he has the courage to raise wages.
But simply to call Ford's action unexpected and
courageous would be to miss The point 1t is more than
that. 1t is shrewdy intelligent.
If prosperity is to be maintained production must
be maintained. And production can not be maintained
unless consumption is kept at high level The only
way to keep up consumption that is the purchasing
power Of the great of the people, to keep up
high wages and to raise wages that are low.
That used to be a new and heretical doctrine
when Ford first reached it. But during the last
years it has come to be accepted generally by most
business men of the country and by government Off
Gals, from presidents down.
There thus is nothing very surprising about Fords
action when it is analyzed-nothing that is EXCEPT
that he has the intelligence to practice in time of
emergency what every one has been preaching during
the fat years
Every employer in the country soon must face
this problem and the sooner the better The prob
lem is this Either the entire method of prosperity
through high wages practced by the country for
the last years is sound else it is unsound If
it sound then more than ever is the time to
apply that method And the business man who oper-
ates the basis hard experience rather than upon
shortsited selfishness and prejudice is apt to fol-
low Fords example
One head of steel corporation attending the
Presidents conference Thursday had Wednesday
announced wage reduction. The White House
ference decision not to lower wages and Fords in
crease should keep that steel magnate and other
doubters in line.
OF course the employer who cuts wages will gain
for moment but he will lose in the long
The goose which lays the golden egg of American
prosperity is the large market with the high
est purchasing power in the world The question to-
day whether big business is going to kill the goose
which lays the golden egg. Ford proposes to feed it.
