The Stock Market-Minded = By Claude G. Bowers

since it drove it through the
Senate through extraordinary
pressure over the protest of the
vast majority of the people.
This protest did not come
merely from the groundlings.
It was not confined to the
press. It came from the best
economists of the country, and
from practically all of them.
1t came from manufacturers
who knew that it would great
ly interfere with their foreign
markets.
1t came from financiers who
knew that the peoples across
the sea could never pay the
billions they owe us if we de-
liberately destroyed their ca
pacity to pay. DR.. Anderson,
the economist of the Chase
National Bank, in his economic
bulletin at the time, described
as inevitable the very condi-
tions that confront us now.
But recently, with his predic-
ton vindicated by events, he
has said:
"The most serious obstacle in
the way of the revival of our
foreign trade is our high prOtec-
tive tariffs. The quickest way
to get out of the existing de-
preston is to reduce our tariffs,
SO that our foreign cSutOmers
may sell more goods here and
get more dollars with which to
pay interest upon their debts to
us and with which to buy goods.
If we do not buy we cannot
sell. If we do not buy enough,
we cannot sell enough"
This economic monstroSity of
a tariff is directly responsible
for the retaliatory action of
other nations; for the loss of
foreign markets, which reduces
the output of our factories,
throws workers upon the
streets, breaks down the buying
power of the masses, and this
did not come upon us from
Europe"

Nice, sweet people give me
the jitters.
I feel toward them exactly as
I feel toward other abnormali-
ties-five-legged calves, waltzing
mice, trained fleas and albino
worms.
And my aversion is not
merely based on the fact that
I'm not sweet Or, nice myself.
I've a reason.
Human beings were never or
ganized to be sweet and nice.
They were organized to cope
with the world in which they
live and that is anything but
sweet and nice.
Mind you, I've nothing
against this world. It's
humdinger-and the chance to
live in it is worth anything it
costs. But it is no parlor
game. Life-as-is is a great,
grim, glorious, rambunctious
riot. And the creature that
tackles it must be considerable
fighter.
Fighting Carrots
All normal, healthy creatures
are considerable fighters. Even
carrots are rude and rowdy,
pushing their way through
rocky soil, fighting drought and
flood, weeds, slugs and rabbits
to gain their place in the sun.
And a man, if he is to main
tain and establish his place,
must be the greatest fowdy of
greedineSS and indecency of the
all. For he must fight far
worse things than drought,
slugs, or weeds. He must fight
the savage brutality, ignorance,
semiciWlized human race. And
he must also fight the fear,
malice, laziness, conceit and dis
honest of his semicivilized self.
All of which is no powder-puff
battle.
For the brave and the honest
man, life is an up-and-at-'em
scramble from the day he enters
the game until the day they
carry him off, with lily IN his
hand. Which, by the way, is
the only occasion when a self.

BY Elsie Robinson

sit around holding lilies. when
he's dead.
And nature equipped man for
this scrap. She did not fill him
with sweetness, light and nice
table manners. She filled him
with restlessness and fury
and a strange, gnawing desire
for things which lie far beyond
his natural, narrow horizon
for beauty and order, for JUS
tice and honesty and brotherly
kindliness.
Something Is Wrong
How's he going to attain
these fine things against all the
savage odds? In only one way
by fighting. And the brave and
honest and healthy man does
fight. He was meant to fight,
he was given the makingS to
fight, and he does fight. He
fights with his fists, his mind
and his soul. He takes his
stand and he maintains that
stand against all the forces OF
evil, within and without.
Which brings us back to
where we started. It is not
possible for a brave and honest
person to face life-as-is and
stay sweet and nice. And
when you find a person who
is consistently sweet, nice, pa
tient, agreeable and obliging,
you can bet your last nickel
there's something wrong.
He's either too cowardly to
fight
Or too selfish to care
Or too conceited to have any
interest outside himself.
And his riceneSS and sweet
ness are simply a cover-up. I
admit they're a slick cover-up.
You can't call a citizen "yel-
low" simply because he insists
on being nice and sweet when
everyone else is rude and riley.
You can't walk UP to him
and give him a hearty punch
in the jaw. But you want to,
And you should want to. FOR
HE'S GETTING BY WITH
MURDER AND SOMEONE
SHOULD CALL HIS BLUFF!
