THE SPECIAL SESSION aHOOIE"

A number of memorials" have
been addressed to President Hoover
and the national Congress, request
ing that a special session of Con-
gress be called for the enactment OF
unemployment relief" measures.
AS against the certainty of mis-
chief in the form of confusion re-
sulting from the calling of special
session at this time, we can imagine
no considerable benefit or advant-
age.
Such memorials are an odious
form of minority action. They are,
in reality, "round robins" signed
by those whose professional posi-
tiOns are assumed to give their
strictly private opinions a force
that the opinions of a great major
ity of well-informed persons might
not carry. This is very largely a
self-assumption. Such "round rob-
ms" moreover, are of a social ma
ture, and are yusually signed b
pretty much the same people.
They usually begin in some such
way as this: I'VE, the undersigned,
economists, sociOlogist, authors,
clergymen, ETC." Whether it is a pc
titiOn against military training, or
against capitalism, or in favor of
the recognition of Soviet Russia, or
in favor of a government dole, or in
favor of sOcialiZing and communiz-
ing all human enterprise, or in ia
vOr of calling a special session of
Congress, it is usually signed by
the same persons-sOme of them
well-knOwn and of great value in
their professions and some of them
more noted for their youth and ha-
bitual misunderstanding and greed
for publicity than for their profess
sional experience or success.
We have no disposition to deny to
any man the right to express his
personal opinion. But when, at a
time like this the President is me-
mOrialiZed by tiny minority to call
Congress into session for appro-
priating non-existent funds running
into the billions, for unscientific
measures in the name of relief,
those who request such action are
obviously misguided.
1t is clearly apparent that any
elaborate government plan" of
whatever nature, which might be
by a special session,
would have a long time rather than
an immediate effect. What is need
ed now is more self-reliance, a
greater realization among individ-
uals of their continued responsible
ity toward their less fortunate fell
low men in their own community.
The distribution of jobs, the main
tenance of wages, the indefatigable
hunt for new business and, as a last
resort, generous charity locally ad-
with a minimum of bu-
will get quicker
results.
Every such individual energy,
co-ordinated with the indi
vidual energies of others in the
same community, will do more to
gain the wanted goal in a hurry
than all the vaunted, complicated
and idealistic panaceas which have
been advanced by the special ses-
sion advocates, however fine few
Of these may be as ultimate, long |
time stabilizers.-Ft. Wayne News |
