Washington, d. C. tILNS)-Citing
the great increase in the output OF
American factories and other indus
trial plants since he took office nine
years ago, Secretary Of Labor James
J. Davis told big radio audience
that unless consumption keeps up
with industrial efficiency and modern
equipment, fewer men will find en-
ployment.
"For a man to be out of job and
unable to find work is the most pitt
able condition l can imagine" Mr..
Davis said, adding that he made this
statement from his own experience.
100000 Idle Last Fall
The secretary said that there were
more than 100000 out of employ
ment following the stock market
crash last fall, but that the situation
was improving and 1--WE are getting
back on our feet again" A tariff
bill that will protect American indus
try will relieve much of the unem-
ployment, he said.
Nobody knows what business would
be like today if it had not been for
President Hoover's prompt action to
avert disaster in the financial crisis,
in the opinion of Secretary Davis.
GAS it is, we have not escaped
some of the effects" he continued.
November and December were ex-
tremely hard months for us. Since
the first Of January the unemploy-
ment situation has improved, but we
have some unemployment-more than
we want to see"
Must Control Machine
Mr.. Davis said in the course of his
speech:
1--WE cannot "robotize" America,
because we must remember that the
machine does not eat or sleep. 1t
does nothing but produce. 1t con-
sumes nothing but a little oil. We
must watch out that with our eff
cheney and modern management we
keep control of the machine. If the
machine ever controls us, civilizations
is gone.
Representatives Of labor are ap-
pearing before congress and are
writing letters urging congress to
pass tariff bill. If we can get a
tariff bill that will protect American
industry it will relieve much of this
unemployment. We cannot expect
the American business man to make
plans for future development and
proceed with them until he knows
definitely where he will be in the
matter Of protection when the tariff
bill is eventually passed. When this
bill is passed the business man will
be wise if he will see to it that after
a reasonable profit to himself, the
profit that remains goes into the pay
envelopes of the workers. After all,
the workers buy what they produce,
and if there is no buying power there
will be no production.

DEATHS OF AMERICANS
PAST <37 ON INCREASE

New York.-The death rate of
Americans over 81 have increased,
although other civilized countries
show an Improvement in death rates

gene Lyman Fisk, at a meeting of

CUBA'S HEAD
BREAKS POLITICAL CREDO
President, However, Is Giving Island an
Efficient, Constructive Government
Public Works Advanced.

SUFFICIENT to restore the status of the
Cuban laborer The most eficient mills
continued to grind and to pay expenses,
possibly even to make little money,
but the others could not dispose of more
than fraction of their normal output.
The laborers suffered accordingly.
The average Cuban worker in the
country districts knows nothing Of eco
monte laws nor the working of the
world sugar market. He has been ac-
customed to hear the government poll
ticians take credit for prosperity and
to hear the opposition politicians blame
the government for It's absence In his
political philosophy hard times are the
precursor OF revolution. And never have
times seemed harder than at present.
So 1t is that all through the island
there runs an undercurrent of expec-
fancy. In the little fishing ports and
on the secluded plantations there Is
talk in hushed tones of what is to come.
And moving from group to group, in
citing them 20 new protests. are the
politicians who would GUST Machado and
find comfortable berths in the regime
with which they would replace his
President Machado himself, undoubt-
eddy aware of the widespread discomfort
and convinced that 1t is due to no fault
of his own, takes every precaution TO
prevent u REVOLUTIONARY movement from
gaining Roadway. Political organiza-
lions In the guise of labor unions are
vigorously suppressed with the CUSTOM
AIRY references to Communist agitators.
Legitimate labor movements suffer with
the others.
Press Held Under Close Rein.
The press is held by a close rein.
thereby affording the opposition an easy
appeal to the free press" sentiment Of
this country: but freedom of the press
implies q press with some standards Of
It's own. Too often in Cuba the press
has been an instrument of political
villihcation and personal blackmail.
Here, again, the innocent suffer with
the guilty.
Getardo Maehado Morales, twice
President Of Cuba, is politician raised
In the Cuban tradition. He plays the
somewhat sordid game Of politics as his
predecessors have played 1t and as his
opponents play 1t. And he plays to win
But he has brought into the Cuban
situation q much-needed new element.
He has used his power and his ability
to better purpose than his predecessors.
Even II combination of political oppo-
sition and economic depression should
result in forcing him from the presi-
dency, the people of Cuba will not again
readily accept lower standard of pub
lie service than Machado has given
them. On this account their historians
may accord him the rank of statesman.

Giant Observatory
In Japan Finished

The largest astronomical observatory
In the Far East, and one which is sur
passed only by ohservatcries In Ger
many and the United States, has Just
been completed in Sanaka, a small sub
urb Of Toxic. The total cost of the
work Is put at 100000. The length of
the telescope is II meters and the
diameter of the lens 26 inches. Work
on the building to house this and many
other scientific instruments which are
included In the observatory equipment
has been going on for more than three
years under the direction of Dr. Hashi-
motto, noted specialist in astronon1-
ical instruments. Eat last the time has
come when Japanese astronomers can
work freely" the doctor said after the
observatory had been opened! AL
though we have had the will to 60 more
deeply into astronomical lines in this
country, we have been unable to do so
because Of lack Of equipment. The sit
uation was tantamount to being at war
without weapons. We shall now be
able to engage in friendly rivalry with
our brother astronomers in all parts Of
the world"

we work ourselves to death?'"
That seems to us Americans a
very terrible utterance. It is
treason to the spirit of modern
business. OF course, a man
should force his production,
and his sales, and force his own
poor mind and body until he
dies at the age of 80 with an
order blank in his hand.
Somewhere between the
French attitude and our atti-
tude there must be a halfway
point that would combine the
best elements of both.
Life" says the Bible" is
more than bread, and the spirit
than raiment." 1t also asks the
question, What shall it profit a
man if he gain the whole world
and lose his own life?"
Or. in modern language,
what's the use of killing your
self by being quota mad?

South Africans Prove
Heavy Tea Drinkers

South Africa probably consumes more
tea per head OF population than any
other country in the world. The Eng
lishman's O'Clock tea is an insignifi-
cant habit compared with the constant
demand for tea that obtains there. Most
everybody has a cup Of tea before rising,
and this is followed very shortly by tea
at breakfast. In every ONCE and shop,
and even in most factories, all the en-
ployes knock of for few minutes at
1890 for tea and again at $50, and in
between these times there Is cup of
tea with lunch Returning home from
work In the evening one is greeted by

the cooker for more tea. Besides this
routine, fresh tea is brewe1 for every
visitor to almost every house and also

Concerned With Readjustment.
This point, however, appears to be far
in the future-far enough, at any rate,
SO that we need not be seriously con-
cerned with it at present. What does
concern us is the complex set of read
iustment that we must face when Euro
pean habilitation is completed when
the New World and the Orient, rather
than Europe, furnish our chief markets
and when revived European industrial
system becomes serious competitor in
such markets. To appreciate the true
significance of this prospect we must rid
ourselves of the fallacious view that the
restoration of European industry Will, in
itself. result in the destruction of our
foreign markets. and thai our loans to
Europe are suicidal because they pro-
mote this restoration. AS long as the
worlds consuming capacity Is larger
than It's producing capacity-And that
will probably be forever-there will al
ways be markets for all the goods that
can be produced, provided the right
goods are produced and the right outlets
are found.
Our problem In coming years will be

the outlets for them changing directions

war is silly bunk, but a job that had
to be done.
I judge Williams artistry by the
natural way he mounts when he
threatens to kill fellow officer
when the yellow gets too thick Also,
the way that he handles the letter
reading scene. He makes it one of
pathetic beauty. Also the way that
he handles the death Of Second
Lieutenant Raleigh, played by Ed
ward Weddings. To my way of
thinking, Weddings is easily the best
Raleigh I have seen, because he
does not make him just dumb
but lovable lad, but a youngster
realizing the beauty Of life as well
as the mystery of death. Really
great character work.
At times I preferred the first man
who played Lieutenant Osborne, this
time being played IN natural re-
straint by Reginald Mason. Mason

change places and that gives the act
a nice start.
Mann has mighty loose feet and
in one dance it looks like he might
fall TO pieces. Mighty hot dance
work. I have seen Corey in several
different dance offerings, but I con-
slider this revue the most sensible
and most reasonably entertaining
that he has given the stage. One
can be too artey on the stage. He
is not this time. Just the right
compromise.
Dell O'Dell is a unique CONNIE
dlenne. She knows how to toss a
bushel Of nutty Ideas to an audience
and see those nuts become the par
ents of many laughs She uses
probably as much ice on the stage
as Frank Van Hoven. She dashes
here and there doing her burlesque
on magic. Everything she does is
the extreme. You either roll out Of
your seats while seeing this woman
or you freeze up. I rolled out OF
my seat at her brand Of ilokum. I
rather suspect that the young men
who assist her never want 10 see
eggs or ice again. But they help
get the laughs.

that I think that the Chicago COM
