ON MEANING WELL

Henry Ford has said that if a man
means well he can nearly always find
way to do WE'LL If this were true,
we might as we'll close our schools.
They are founded upon the assump-
tion that it is mighty hard to find
out how to live the best and most
effective life; how to be as skilful and
efficient as possible. They undertake
by the slow process of education to
give one information and methods of
working SO that he can find out how
to do things. If just anyone who hap
pened to have good intentions could
carry these intentions into profitable
execution, nearly all the work of edu-
cation might be omitted.
We would not for moment belittle
the Importance of meaning we'll. Good
intentions are necessary first steps
toward achievement. They supply di-
rection to our action. They do not
carry us over the road We must in
tend we'll, and then we must find out
how to do we'll. One does not become
great lawyer by meaning to do
well at law, but by having that in
tention, then following it up with
years Of hard labor intelligently di-
rected. One does not acquire sane re-
ligious views merely because he feels
righteous, but by study and candid
reflection. One becomes successful
farmer by learning great deal
about farming.
Many of the colossal failures and
tragedies of history have been the
work of well meaning people. A
prominent historian has said that the
pious fool has done more harm in
the world than the knave. George III
meant we'll So did the men who
burned witches at Salem. So did
most of the slave owners. So did
the leaders on both sides of every war
and of every struggle. Ones con-
science is just as valuable as his
judgment is strong, and the strength
of his judgment depends upon its
training and upon the extent and
quality of the information which
forms its Weekly News Re-

Washington.-Secretary of Labor
Davis questions the value of restrict
ing building and public works during
good times as solution of the un-
employed problem.
"This plan has the best of motives
behind it, but it will not fully solve
the problem" said Mr.. Davis in a
radio address.
when times are good" said the
cabinet member, activity in public
works and buildings helps to make
them good. To hold up public works
for bad times would help to bring on
bad times. Statistics prove this. We
spend every year $7,O00,OOO,OOO on
buildings of every Sort Nearly ST.
500,0OO,O0O of this goes into public
works, including military and naval
buildings. To hold that amount Of
building for bad times would only
bring on the emergency it was meant
to remedy"
Mr.. Davis discussed the proposal
that an annual appropriation Of $780,
100000 be set aside for speeding up
public enterprises when the index of
employment" prepared by the United
States department Of labor or by state
departments Of labor show a decline
in employment. The $50,000,000 for
river and harbor work and other items
would be released when 'the volume,
based on value, of contracts awarded
for construction work had fallen 10
per cent for three-month period be-
low the average of the corresponding
three-months period of the three pre-
ceding years"
"You will see how disappointing
these plans would be-" said Secretary
Davis, when | remind you that the
government has no agency for collect
ing such information on building con-
tracts. 1t would be difficult to do.
And that is not the only or the real
defect in such a plan to cure unem-
ployment.
Suppose there is unemployment in
the ore fields of Hibbing, Mimi, or in
the shoe and textile factories of New
England. This will not be shown in
any falling off in the building con-
tracts. Unemployment is rarely dis
tributed evenly and might occur at
points far away from where public
works were needed
more than that, you can see from
our annual building expenditure of
$1,000, 100000 that any prosperity
reserve of only $50, 100000 to stim-
ulate public works could hardly be
more than a drop in the bucket.
"The s60,OOO,0o0 spent on rivers
and harbors and flood control would
help unemployment in the immediate
neighborhood Of these works. But
even though congress were in session
and ready to start this money to work
what good could it do to relieve the
unemployed shoe or textile workers
Of New England? Only what is re-

fected back to us as q result Of pur-
chases made by those who are at
work elsewhere.
"This is not spoken in criticism
Any effort to cure unemployment is
laudable. But it is clear that if we
are to meet unemployment in any
practical way nothing short Of the
federal and state revolving funds of
several hundred millions suggested
by President Hoover will do"
