DERNARD NJ. BARUCH
- is one Of the all too
few possessors Of great for
tunes who is not only cap
able of thinking in terms of
the public interest, but who
temperamentally tends that
way. We must confess to
considerable impatience with
the rather snobbish notion
that the representatives OF
Big Business and the pos
SCISSORS of great fortunes are
necessarily better qualified
for craftsmanship by virtue
of their money than men
trained in the political field.
As a rule even the most sue
cessful business men make
wretchedly poor statesmen,
but Mr.. Baruch is a brill
liant exception to the rule.
Business deals with money,
and craftsmanship d e a | S
with men, and usually those
who deal with money have
little time or inclination to
think in terms of men. Mr..
Baruch s innate humanitar-
ianism makes him a notable
exception to this rule as
we'll. One need not always
agree with all his ideas, but
one may always approach
them with the feeling that
these ideas never cloak a
plan of exploitation.
The public has faith in
Baruch's judgment and IN
his humanity.
That is the reason his
speech at the War Industries
Board reunion is a notable
contribution to current
thought.

But mother can't see. She
starts to cry again. Her thin
shoulders shake. The children
watch her impatiently. What a
nuisance. Why does she have to
be like that? She's always been
like that ever since they were
kids. Always worrying. It makes
lif so terribly hard. They can't
ever do things like other peo-
pie. can't feel free to go any
where. without her worrying.
If only
Suddenly, they notice how
thin her shoulders are. how
white her hair. They feel like
dogs. Poor mother-poor, dear
mother. After all, it's great to
have her care like that. They
ought to be glad she loves them
enough to worry so. Her whole
life's wrapped up in them.
They're brutes to hurt her so.
There, mother darling? don't
cry. Honestly. I'm sorry. Next
time I will phone. Don't cry,
dear"

Their voices are adoring, apollo
getic. They coax. call them
selves names. tell her how
wonderful she is. >. Slowly, re-
luctantly, Mother allows her
self to be persuaded to stop
crying. She still has that Hurt
Look. but once more she for
gives them, sweetly, patiently
they fuss over her.
And secretly, a warm glow
of qualification spreads over
mother. She has made them
remember her! She has made
them come home when they
wanted to stay away. They
shan't forget her, like some
children forget their mothers.
They, shan't have lives OF
their own. Lives she can't en-
Joy. and shut her out-Mothers
should be remembered. Worry
mothers MUST be remembered.
They'll HAVE to remember her
when she worries.
Familiar act. Yes And one
of the meanest acts on earth.
FOR THERE'S NO TYRANT
MORE TERRIBLE THAN A
WORRYING MOTHER. AND
NO RACKET MORE SLICK!
For who's going to call a Wor-
rying. Mothers bluff? Who's
going to stand up and tell her
that worrying tint sign Of un-
selfish love BUT SIMPLY A
PECULIARLY CUSSED FORM
OF NAGGING Yet that's the
truth. Normal. sensible anxiety
is a friendly thing. BUT

days of the Stuarts the Eng
disappearing peoples have
insisted that all measures of
taxation shall be framed and
initiated by the immediate
representatives of the people
to be taxed.
When Madison sent Jeffer-
son a copy of the proposed
Constitution he expressed his
special satisfaction with the
fact that it provided, not
only that taxation should be
levied by the Congress, but
that money bills should be
initiated by the House in
stead of the Senate because
more speedily amenable to
the people.
The flexibility clause of
the tariff, which has never
yet operated in the interest
of the consumers, made our
tariff an international ques-
ton. We used to have lobby
lists on hand during the fran
ing of a tariff; now we have
a different brand of lobby

tied to Washington-who are
sitting constantly on the
doorstep of the White House

If you have had experience
trying to procure loans from
those you have counted as
friends, you realize it is not such
an easy task.
Friendship and business are
two different propositions.
If you have not had to try to
borrow from friends, keep out
of it.
AS a good fellow, you may
have been willing to help a
friend with your last dollar, and
you like to say so, too.
But your good friends are as
badly off as you are and they
can't help YOU this time.

No sugsr-Costing
Of Realities

In his discussion of inter-
national debts and repara-
tions there is no sugar-coat-
ing of realities. Most OF
those who speak of reduc-
tions and cancellations with
approval cautiously refrain
from explaining just what
this means. But Mr.. Baruch
says:
MANY people ask for a
cancellation Of debts but
they cannot be cancelled
If we forgive the money
that is owed US the Amer
lean taxpayer, manufacturer,
laborer and farmer must pay
them, because the receip pts
from the war debts have be-
come a part of our budget,
and if they are not paid by
others, they must be paid
by u.s.
He carries the effect into
the future, as a statesman
should, when he adds:
IF we cancel our collec-
tions from the other side,
which will amount this year
to $290,000,0O0, increasing
each year, such action would
relieve the Germans Of that
much per year, so that in
the years to come Amer
lean business would find it
self competing for world
trade against Germany with
something more than $780,
100000 a year taken from
the backs Of German indus
try and placed upon our
own"
But why just Germany?
We loaned no money to
Germany out Of the pockets
of our people; we loaned to
England, France, Italy and
other nations, and if we as
sumo the debts we lift the
burden off the backs of
English, French, italian in
dustry and put it on our
own in the future days when
we will be competing for
world trade, not only with
Germany, but with England
and the other nations that
owe US the money.
