Leaders Must Act
To Cure World ellis"
The world Is sick-there is
no doubt about that; and the
United States is very sick, too,
and we of America must not
forget that. The papers car
ried pitiful descriptions of the
conditions among the miners

in shacks are awaiting evic-
ton, and "a boy brings home
weeds for the supper" And
we still have millions out of
work.
If there is any statesman
ship in government or business
in the country the time for its
application is overdue. It is
not a bankers problem: nor a
counting room problem; but
a problem Of human relation

the stability of our govern
mental and social system is to
put our house in order by get
ting rid of the injustices that
have brought our troubles upon
us.
And this calls for a leader

unusual constructive capacity
in both business and govern
ment.
We have not just naturally
drifted into the morass-we
have been led into it; and it
might be we'll for America to
consider a change Of leaders.
At any rate we are not quite

In addition to his war debt

comes very late: and like the
other Hoover Plan" is not new
at all, but was proposed by
others long ago, and opposed
by the Administration. He is
alarmed because of the action of
operators in short selling Of
wheat, and he thinks some
thing should be done about it.
Long ago, members of the
Senate, notably Senator Cara
way, offered a bill covering
this point which the Admins
tration opposed. If the explana-
ton is that these are bad
times, the answer came from
Senator George:
''If short selling is bad in
times of depression, it is
equally bad under normal con-
ditiOnS and should be pro-
hibited by law. If this practice
results in depressing prices in
existing conditions, it neces-
