LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

Imagine that" chucKled the
fat woman,
st can count your ribs"
"You should" yawned the thin
woman
Fragilely-boastingly-
They're expensive ribs,
''They cost me plenty
'rm starving!" she smiled
IT haven't had
"a decent meal for weeks"
She yawned again
Waved away a Lobster New
burg
Took tomato Juice
She seemed to be drinking
blood.
I passed out of the hotel
And stood in the street;
It had been raining
There was a hollow, coughing
wind
Crouching in the alleys,
Clutching, fumbling, at the walls.
A woman stood by the doorway,
Holding a baby,
Peering in through the window;
Peering as once saw a dog peer
During a bad winter of deep
snow.
She might have been young,
Impossible to tell he: age.
Have you seen fallen leaves,
Rain soaked, wind whipped
Until they are only
Ghosts Of leaves?
Her flesh was like that,
And the bones lay beneath it
Like jagged stones.
Her dress was in rags
Wet rags that clung like kelp
To the sharp bones,
And beneath the rags
Her ribs lay in sharp ledgeS.
One breast was bare.
It hung in a withered bag
Against her ribs
The baby tugged at it
With blue lips,
Beat against it
With clSw.like hands
Then the little head
Lolled away liStleSSly-
From the blue lips
Came a whimpering,
A steady. thin whimpering-
The baby's eyes stared
AS the dogs had stared.
I went up to the woman
And said-'Can I help?"
She looked at me duly,
Her dry eyes were like Scabs
Over weeping wounds
Her lips stretched with diff
Guilty
Over her broken teeth
Gould you?" she said hopeleSsly,
Il haven't had a decent meal

The work of collecting the
twelve million dollars asked
here for the prevention of
starvation among men and
women eager to work and de-
prived Of the right-for it is
a rights not progressing
as it should. Monday morn
ing but a third of the
amount had been subscribed.
1t is incredible that it will
not be raised; but it seems
impossible that the amount
asked measures the necessi-
ties. The demands on the
regular philanthropic So
cieties will be heavier than
even this winter and there
is danger that these may
suffer through the dlSposl-
ton of some, who have regu-
larly contributed to them,
to give all to the committee
dealing entirely with the
unemployed.
Before Congress meets
next month we must know
precisely how much has been
subscribed by individuals to
prevent starvation and ex-
posure; and if ample funds
have not been furnished, the
Government Of the United
States will have to make up
the deficit.
No government or system
that permits people to starve
because of the shortsighted-
ness and stupidities Of it's
economic policies can justify
itself.

are amply able to contribute
literally, The working
classes can contribute little
now.
Men with families of their
own, with wages cut more
than once, are out; men of
meager means who read that
"wages must be Debated"
must husband their small
resources; the small mer-
chant struggling with a
deficit cannot give as lib
orally as has been his habit.
Many Of the old sources
cannot now be tapped; they
are dried up.
But there are men of
great fortunes who can con-
tribute all that is required;
and all too few Of these are
coming forward. That is
their mistake. For if Con-
gress has to appropriate the
money, and consequently to
increase taxes, it will go to
these great fortunes for the
taxes. Men may argue that
this is wrong, but that will

Owen D. Young's
Plea for Funds

Flea Tor EuuuS
In his plea for the funds
that are coming in slowly,
Owen D. Young said the
other night:
"The President calls you
to service in the name OF all
the people of the United
States. That call of the
President I repeat to you
tonight. It is his call to you
as an individual. Let us
answer him on Thanksgiv-
ing Day"
So far as we know that is
all the President has done
to call upon the individual
to contribute a private dole
to spare the Administration
the necessity Of taking any
action at all.
There would be more pull
to the Presidents appeal if
he had grappled with the
problem Of human misery
with something of the spirit
with which he has applied
himself to the roblems Of
other peoples and nations.
John Dewey's statement
on the situation may be rad
ical, but frequently that
which is radical is right. He
says:
mo industrial nation has
been so derelict as ours in
facing and graphing with
the problems Of the unem-
ployed.
He thinks that Congress
should have been called in
extra session long ago to
provide work in needed pub
lie construction through the
floating of a prosperity loan;
and he says that the Gov
ernment must make up in
money all that is needed in
excess Of what is subscribed
by individuals to prevent
suffering this winter.
Danish Breadlines
and Soup Houses
We want no more bread
lines and free soup houses;
but we are unable to join in
the denunciation of the mis-
cradle people who stand in
line for hours a day to get
just enough to keep body
and soul together. There
may be some hoboes among
them; but we can think Of
nothing more cruel than the
characterization of all of
them as such. Or of any
impressive part of them.
1t is probably true that
most, if not all, of these
could be cared for by regu-
larly organized charity So
cieties if they applied. It
is equally true that most of
them are unfamiliar with the
process.
If enough money is indi-
vidually subscribed to feed
those who disgrace our civ
ilization with breadlines
there will be no need for
them, provided the hungry

Program for Next
Session. of Congress

Program Tor Next
Session of Congress
The Administration, since
the adjournment of Congress,
has concentrated its atten.
tion ON European problems.
When Congress meets we
shall hear more about the
problems of America. That
is the reason Congress should
have been in session long
ago. That is the reason the
next session will be well
worth following.
The Administration has
it's program for the session:
The moratorium, the foreign
debts, the Generalization"
of the antitrust laws, the
amendment OF the Federal
Reserve Law to permit that
which it's creators refused to
sanction. All Of these are in
the interest of the powerful.
But it will have no con.
structive plan on unemploy-
ment; and six to seven mil.
lions are unemployed.
And no constructive pro-
gram for the relief of agri.
culture; and 100000 peo-
pie on the farms are bank
rupt.
And no constructive plan
to save the mining industry;
and it is in the scrap heap,
with it's women and children
dependent on the mines.
Gambling on the
Stock Market
And no constructive plan
upon the tariff which has
wrecked our foreign trade,
deprived us Of some of our
best customers, invited the
resentment of every nation,
and is driving American fac
tories to Canada, France and
England.
The common note struck
in all the speeches Of Ad-
ministration leaders is that
all our troubles here have
come upon us from across
the sea, and that is false.
When Senator LaFollette
asked Mr.. Wiggin of the
Chase National Bank if our
disaster would have been
averted but for Europe, he
replied that it would not.
Some of our troubles have
been coming upon us for
years through legislation
certain to destroy agricul-
ture. The fruit of that pol
icy is ripe-and rotten.
Much of our troubles came
through the unrestricted, un-
rebuked insane gambling on
the stock market; and that
was encouraged by this and
the preceding administration.
And much more of our
troubles came with the en-
actment Of the Grundy tariff
over the protest of all the
economists,
