Not infrequently it is the

Men like to appear generous

doesn't think much OF ma
chimes.
He agrees they are marvellous
and that they are a proof Of
the amazing things which the
human mind can do: but he
does not think that all the
amazing things which the hui
man mind does are necessarily
GOOD THINGS, OR TO BE
TOLERATED.
Ghandi doesn't believe that
machines are good things. He
says that, no mater how in
genius machines may be, they
do not in the long run help
human life. Instead, they hurt
human life. They put more
and more people out Of jobs.
They take away the workers
pride in his craft. They make
rich people soft and greedy and
hairless. They make poor people
listless and stupid and hopeless.
And it is all nonsense, says
Ghandi to believe that we must
go on using machines just be-
cause we have been able to
make machines. We do not all
take poison gas just because we
have been able to invent poison
gas. Machines are like the
fabulous Frankenstein monster
which destroyed its maker. Ma.
chimes, uncontrolled, will de-
stroy men. They are already
destroying men.
Machines are not inevitable.
The human race existed for a
long time and did many remark
able things before machines
came along. During that time
men devised various forms Of
civilization. Some were found
to be good; some bad. When a
form of civilization proved to
be bad it was discarded. And
now we have this amazing ma.
chine civilization, which seems
to have us all in its grip. But
it, too can be discarded; and it
must be discarded, or fiercely
controlled. or it will ruin men.
Ghandi's Advice
That is what Ghandi says to
his people. That is why he
tells them to spin and weave
their own cotton cloth on old
fashioned hand wheels and
looms. He is not "just a re.
ligious nut" He is a student of
human life and of the things
that are good or bad for hu.
man life. He thinks that ma
chimes, uncontrolled, are bad for
human life. He is defying not
only England. He is defying
machines.
Think about these things.
When the business situation has
improved we will still have ma
chimes with us. We will have
more and more machines, put
ting people out Of jobs.
Rich people soft and greedy
and heartleSS, and making poor
people listless, stupid and hope
less.

THE New York Times,
l. after a survey, announces
that unemployment is on
the increase. That means
that human misery is spread
ing. It means that men
who have been out of work
are not getting jobs, and
that men who have had jobs
are losing them. Meanwhile,
the deflation of wages goes
on apace. The purchasing
power of the American peo-
pie is being constantly re-
duced.

that " some observers re

A Deficit Of
Two Billion Dollars

Two Billion Dollars
Part of the deficit has
been bonded; but we must
raise by taxes in one year
to meet the astounding
Hoover deficit, $1,24O,OOO,-
600! Why, there are debtors
of ours across the sea that
claim they cannot pay us
what they owe in sixty years
that owe US no more than
that. There are powerful
nations across che sea that
plead their incapacity to pay
us three or four billion-in
sixty years. But we must
raise, over and above normal
needs, ST, 1,24O,OOO,O00 in one
year!
Such is the ripe, or rot
ten fruit of the policies Of
the Hoover Administration.
Instead of eliminating pow
erty" its most impressive
achievement has been to
give us a deficit in the
Treasury of TWO BILLION
DOLLARS.
The G.. o. P. bubble has
burst and millions are hurt.
The tragedy has come
upon us after twelve years
Of undisputed Republican
rule, with Congress Repub-
lican, with "the greatest
Secretary Of the Treasury
since Hamilton" managing
our finances; and when the
Democratic House was sworn
IN it was informed t h 1t the
Treasury was empty, that
there was a deficit of ST.
24O,OOO,OOO to meet-if the
credit and honor of the ma
ton is to be preserved.
T h at tragic condition
came when the Democrats
had no power and the Ad-
ministration party had all
power - it is the Hoover
deficit.
And every American will
have to go into his pocket
to save the face of the Ad-
ministration because it is
the Government Of the
United States.

piece-"a line that NO man

A man will inconsistently
choose to marry a girl because
she is like putty in his hands"
and then complain bitterly to
heaven because she sticks to him
like chewing-gum.
No modern man would think
of stealing woman's heart;
before he will even accept it,
he wants her to guarantee that
she will take it back again,
when he has finished with it.
There are three kinds of
men. Those who think that a
woman is something to be
petted and flattered; those who
think that a woman is some
thing to be reformed and bul.
lied and those who think that
a woman is something to be
feared and lodged.

passengers to Cuba and Can
ada at ridiculously low
rates. They are fighting
against ruin. The railroads
depend now on Government
credit-otherwise not a few
of these would be in bank
ruptcy.
And much of this is due,
not to the World War, not
to conditions abroad, but to
the most idiotic tariff act
ever enacted, which Presi-
dent Hoover insists is sacro-
Sanct.
An export and import
broker told me the other
day that his business had
been reduced from $4,000
to $4,000 during this year.
All Will Be Hit
By New Tax Bill
That is his business and
misfortune, not ours? Let's
see. He paid income tax on
$4,000 last year; he will
pay on but $4,000 next year.
He will pay only frac-
ton of what he has been
paying and at a time when
we are faced with deficit
in the Treasury of the
United States Of about two
billion - $2,OOO,O00,OOO -
which must be met if the
credit Of the nation is to
be preserved.
The Treasury will be
shocked when the returns
are made March Is. The
man referred to is no excep.
tion-there are tens OF
thousands like him. 1t
means the reductions in reve'
nue. from income and cor
noro+ion taxes will be ap-
palling. Everyone knows
that.
And yet that deficit must
be wiped out to save the
nation s credit.
It must be wiped out
through taxes other than
those on incomes and from
corporations.
And that means that not
one American but will feel
the pinch in the tax 61n
that is now pending. We
are up against war taxes OF
the worst kind at a time
when there is no war boom
in business.

against the shorts" con-

was the "longs" with tt e

If stocks scared now it

CHILE RECOVERY
 SPEEDED UP AS ELECTION WEARS
Government Makes Efforts to Have Nation Tn
 Good Condition
By HAROLD P. BRAMAN


 SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 26.-The Government is intensifying it's ef- forts to have the nation in good economic condition before the Oc- tober 30 elections, in which voters will select delegates to conven- ton which will write new So- cialistic Constitution.
 Continuing the Government pro- gram, which previously had set September 10 as the approximate date for the elimination of unem- ployment in Chile, President Carlos Davilla has declared war on all economic fronts against the crisis"
 Government Backs Campaign
 By campaign of propaganda, advertising, motion picture films and mass meetings the Govern ment expects to cut down unem- ployment to minimum, increase production to a figure approximat- ing good times" and bolster public confidence on the peso, the latter an admittedly huge task.
 Labor Minister Juan Rosetti, one of the Presidents closest advisers, has initiated a drive for higher salaries for employees of all classes. In itself, the move is viewed as an official admission that the peso has slumped so far, that present wages are insufficient in the face of the increased cost of living.
 Cabinet Bucks Speculation The entire Cabinet is assisting the new price control board in an endeavor to eliminate speculation in prime necessities. There has been some hoarding by middlemen, and unless stocks are released there are indications they may be seized. Daily prices for meats, bread and other foodstuffs are set by the board.
 The mint has placed in circula- T tion several hundred thousand of the new one-peso piece. Much smaller than the old peso, and con taining far less silver. this new coin is designed to eliminate hoard ing of silver money, for intrinstical- ly it is worth little.
 Hundreds of thousands of the ola heavy silver peso are out of circu- lation, because they are of highel intrinsic value than the present street rating of the official peso.
 Exchange Furnishes Problem
 A difficult problem is solving the exchange question. So little foreign exchange is available that import ed prime necessities cannot be ob- tain except by barter or by cut 1 ting into what gold reserves thu Central Bank still holds.
