In dealing with men do you
give the treatment you expect
from others?
Your income may be large
enough to afford you a good
living and allow you to make a
substantial saving each year.
You may be an employer or
one who decides in hiring or

You may have given too little
thought to the laying off Of an
employee.
To him it may be a serious
matter but you think if he has
not accumulated enough to tide
him over, it is his hard luck.
You know that he operates
an automobile, owns a radio,
lives in a comfortable home,
has some appliances in his
home to lessen the burden Of
housework.
In procuring these things he
spent considerable money.
Can you honestly say they
were eXtravaganceS for him?
Should his family have gone
without so that he might save
a substantial sum for a rainy

Back to FeudaliSln
With q Vengeance,

The Presidents program for
business recovery, just an
nounced by his organization on
unemployment relief, makes
some excellent suggestions-but
not so many on unemployment
that are impressive. It urges
those with money to buy nor.
mally, and that is right: and
urges bankers to be more lib
eral in credit facilities, and
that is good.
But its suggestions for the
benefit Of the unemployed are
only illustrative of the gravity
OF the situation. It would have
those now employed agree to
work fewer days to give others
work: which means that none
Of the workers would get as
much in wages as they get now.
Capital makes no sacrifice at
all; and while just as much, no
more would be paid in wages,
even less of these wages would
be spent, since the most drastic
economy would be forced upon
the wage Garner.
But there is something shock
ing in the plan proposed of
transferring the u n e m p loyed
from cities to the farms to
work for bed and board alone.
This is getting back to feudal-
ism with a vengeance. II this
is necessary, and perhaps it is,
then it is high time for the
President to turn his attention
to the plight Of America.

The country will be interest
ed in the appeal to the people
Of George w. Wickersham,
member of the Cabinet Of Taft,
to vote against the head Of the
Republican ticket in Manhat-
tan in the interest of good
government.
This is an astonishing dec
laration that the leader of the
Republican reform" forces in
the metropolis is unfit for the
position Of borough president.
Mr.. Wickersham finds his rea-
son for his advice in the un-
happy, self-damning testimony
Of the Republican leader be-
fore the legislative investigat-
ing committee-something cer-
tainly not intended by the
wise and the good"
The former Cabinet member
has no reason for not recon-
mending Mr.. Levy, the Demo
cratic nominee, since there is
no intimation that there is
anything wrong with him, and
his record is one of sound and
big achievement for the COM
munity. But he is a Democrat,
and that makes him quite i'm
possible to Mr.. Wickersham.
He, therefore, says that the
Republican leader Of the Re
publican purist movement in
New York is SO very bad that
Republicans should support the
Socialist nominee.
The country will be inter-
ested in this vivid light upon
the character Of the Repub-
Hcan reform fight in New York

Liberal Party
Has Been Wiped Out

AA@S Deen W1pe0 Out
The British election had no
party significance in the minds
Of millions who voted to retain
the nonpartisan National gov
ernment under Ramsay Mac
Donald. No such top-heavy ma
jority ever has been given a
government in a hundred years.
The Liberal party has been
wiped out-practically. It is
scarcely more than a burr on
the tail Of the dog.
The Labor party has been re-
duced to a corporal's guard.
But there is a fly in the oint-
ment for Ramsay Macdonald
and the Liberals who supported
the coalition. The Tory party
has been given such a majority
that it is independent of the
support Of either Labor or Lib
eral members.
The danger is that Mr.. Bald
win may be unable to meet his
pledge that no party signifi-
canoe would be attached to the
result. Winston Churchill and
the younger and more militant
element Of the party are apt
to place a different interpreta-
tlon upon the election and to
insist on all The reactionary
policies of their party.
This is especially true of the
tariff. The Labor and Liberal
supporters Of the coalition sig
nificantly refrained from dis
cussing the tariff on the hus-
tings and Baldwin respected
their position: but others
among the Tories were not so
considerate. These will insist
on a protection policy and
probably will get it.

Fears The Election
NRaov~s U;wh r.-aRa.
Thus there is ample justifi.
cation for the fear in Wash
ington that the election means
high tariffs for Britain and
the dominions that will react
most unfavorably against the
United States. The response
bility for this will rest largely
upon the stupidity of our own
policy which has called forth
the tariff war among the ma
tionS.
A year ago, Stanley Baldwin
warned that when England
adopted a policy of trade re-
Strictions the United States
and continental Europe would
have occasion to ponder on
whether prohibitive tariff bar
riers against international trade
''is ultimately going to be a
beneficial system for the peo-
pies of the world"
The British elections is al
most certain to mean the loss
Of more markets for the prod
ucts Of American factories
and fields.
This means q further restric-
ton in production here; and
this is not going to take men
off the streets and put them in
factories.
The factory workers here,
now jobless, will read with
some concern, that some Of
our larger industries have al.

sion that our prohibitive tariff

ton of 1928 that an insane
stock market was a true ba-
rometer of American prosper
ity.
MR.. LAMONT MAKES A
SUGGESTION
Mr.. Lamont, of Morgan &
Company, follows speedily on
the Laval triumph here with
the suggestion that Germany
now ask France for a reduc-
ton in the reparations. We
have no doubt that this was
prearranged before M. Laval
came; that this was discussed
by M. Laval when he was in
Berlin just, before he came;
that the whole program urged
by Mr.. Lamont was prear-
ranged in the numerous con-
ferences in Paris between M.
Laval and John Pierpont Nor
gan; and naturally that Mr..
Lamont is fully informed as to
the nature Of those conferences.
There is a feeling in Amer
lea that IA nations, having so
years to pay, can discharge
their debts to the United States
without any further scaling
down; but there is sympathy
here for Germany. If the ma
tions that hired the money"
to use Calvin Coolidge's words,
ask us for a further reduction,
or the cancellation Of the debts
public sentiment here would be
against it; but if Germany can
be made to make an appeal,
directly or indirectly, on the
ground that only through
further sacrifices by us can she
hope for relief from her con-
querers, the scheme will make
a stronger psychological appeal.
We haven't particle of
doubt that all this was dis
cussed and understood during
the conferences in Washington.
The plan is to put upon the
bowed back of PROSTATE Amer.
lea the debts of IA nations.
