HOoYer's LINCOLN

Listening to the Presidents radio address Thursday
night, we gathered that Lincoln was an early edi-
ton OF Hoover. We learned that there was close
similarity between Hoover policies and what the poll
cies of Lincoln would be, were he living today
Lincoln would be pleased with the status of the
Negro today we we're told We had supposed that
Lincoln would be grieved by the notification Of the
Negroes political legal and economic rights.
Lincoln was great party man, we were told. We
had supposed that his indifference to party regularity
drove him to form party. AS to the Repub-
can party, we were rather surprised to hear Hoover
say that Lincons tradition has dominated it to this
day"
It never had occurred to US to link the name OF
the liberator to the methods of Hoovers party man
ayers, Huston and Lucas.

the country in strong and urgent support the pro-

Federal 44-HOur Week

Congress has recognized the need for shorter
working week in passing the Kendall bill, now before
the President for signature. Employees of the post
office department in first arG secondclass Offices and
the railway mail service WI have forty hour
week in place Of their present eight-hour day and
forty-eight-hour week. About 10000 persons are
affected.
1t was the first time in eighteen years that con-
gress has legsated on the working conditions of the
postal workers. Meantime, their efaciency-on the
basis Of revenue collected-had increased hundred
per cent. Reduction of hours will give employment
to 10000 postal substitutes throughout the country
Official government recognition of the need for
spreading jobs among workers should hasten the
movement for shorter day. America has more
workers than jobs and the creation of more jobs is
essential
There are probably 100000 government employees
throughout the country Putting all of them on a
shorter work basis inevitably would have great
influence on private employers.

Some Questions on the Market Crash

All Of us have been reading the papers ever since
the big crash in the New York stock market in Octo-
her, 1929 All Of us know that hundreds Of thousands
of people lost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Suckers all the country had been gambling
on margin They had been making money on a rising
market. It looked easy. Looked if that sort of
thing could go on forever-that the market would keep
on going up.
Mighty few Of the amateur gamblers knew any
thing about the real value of the stocks they
buying-on margin. Market reports didn't give book
value Suckers didn't take time look into earnings
Stocks kept going up--that was enough And suck
ers thought they were wise birds They bought more
automobiles more Jewels for the wfe-and anything
else she thought she wanted,
Then came the smash More margins we're called
for by brokers. More money had to be raised by
suckers So they pawned the wifes Jewels sold auto
mobiles mortgaged the home and thing
other But stocks kept going down.
More money was borrowed More stocks laid by
for the proverbaI rainy day went into the banks as
collateral
Wealth disappeared. Chauf1eurs were fired. Imag
mary riches vanished into thin air Millions Of suck
ers were trimmed to their financial underwear. There
was more economy less spending less buying less SELL
ing less Hoover prosperity.
But there is no news in all that Everybody is
reading the papers now and looking for upturn
in business and return Of prospery-and also read
ing about breadlines, soup kitchens, unemployment
and one thing another.
In the meantime, there is plenty Of money. The
banks are full of 1tthat Is Of the banks. Many
of the speculative banks have gone bust. With mil
lions of savings deposit, the urged to
buy-to buy until it hurts.
That talk falls deaf with some who are
afraid to spend their savings lest they lose their Jobs
and may need the money to buy food and pay rent.
All the time there is drag on every man who
has Job and surplus Everybody who thinks he
has claim him hollers for help Some Of his
family is among the unemployed.
In the meantime, there is just much money as
there was before the smash. Every dollar that
sucker lost went into the pocket Of somebody who
won where millions lost hundreds gained.
One question that suggests itself is ths-where
did the hundreds Of millions lost in the stock market
go? Who got itP What is it doing now? How are
we going to get it back into circulatonP
Another thtng-the wages of millions have been
stopped How many saared officials of the companies
that laid off their help are stin drawing down the
same old salary? How many Of them among the
unemployed? What share of the cost Of keeping the
unemployed alive is being paid by the fellows still
the pay roll?
And finally, what became OF all those millions lost
on the stock market? Who got it? And what's the
matter with the United States2
