In the Interest
Of Humanity

Meanwhile it would be
just as we'll to disregard the
propaganda against Con-
gress and to get behind it
in its determination to put
through program of public
works On an adequate scale.
just as well to bear in mind
that it is the President and
not the Congress that is
holding back.
It simply is not true that.
Congress does not realize
the seriousness of the situa-
tion, and is not trying to
do the right thing. The
trouble is that Congress is
almost as much confused as
Big Business by the enor-
nifty of the problem of re-
vival, and it is deluged with
all manner of suggestions of
a conflicting nature.
If it is cropping, so are
most of us. Mr.. Hearst has
struck the keynote in a let
ter:
II am not in accord with
any movement merely to de-
nounce Congress. I am in
favor of submitting to the
calm consideration of Con-
gress a definite program
which will convince Con-
gress and promote construc-
tive action
Just now an issue has
been drawn between Con-
gress and the President on
a public works program;
and if the American people
are convinced that Congress
is right they must align
themselves actively behind
it.
There is nothing of parti-
san significance in a pros
perity loan. 1t is dictated
by necessity. 1t ought to
have the support of Mr..
Hoover. But if by arraying
himself against it, his can
didacy makes it a party

they had dreamed.
But now Jesus was dead,
killed on a cross like a common
thief, and they were back on
the hated fishing boat. ragged,
hungry, shivering in the cold,
spreading the nets with stiff
ened salt-cracked hands. Gray

meath. Despair, as dreary, in
their hearts. Was this the end?
Were they never to have their
chance-never to find their mir
acle of joy?
So they muttered.
From the shore. a young man
watched.
He, too, was poor. He, too;
had lost a dream. He knew
the hopelessness of such harsh
toll, the WEAKNESS of tugging
at an empty net. Plying, he
bent and built a fire in the
rocks, then brought a fish and
laid it on the Goals. Presently.
over the water, he sent a hail:
FISHERMEN, are you hungry?"
Ill at Ease
Duly they listened; duly
answered mo" Why should
that stranger care whether they
ate or starved?
What have you caught?"
What had they ever caught?
Nothing but weariness, poverty
and disappointment since the
day they were born. These
empty nets were a symbol of
all their lives. What had they
caught?
Nothing" they answered,
sullenly.
Cast your nets down on the
right side" again the wan
derer cried.
The man was a pestering
fool, they thought, but they
obeyed.
A cast, sudden swirl; the
nets bulged full!
Come, now, and eat"
AS men, sleep walking, in
they came, and there before
them was a little fire, a broil-
ing fish, a loaf of new baked
bread.
The Great Miracle
Warmth, rest, food, friendli-
ness and cheer-and standing
radiant above the flame, their
Lord!
At last, the miracle!
But not in some far land; in
some proud place of power.
There, on the beach where
they had always worked,
Beside the tide that they had
always known,
A simple fire, a simple meal
"a Love.
There, was the wonder wait
ing!
There, was peace and Joy!
And you? Restless? Won

chance?
Do not wait. Do not Won

Stop TheOrizing on
Human Misery! Act!
Claude G.. BOUerS

Welfare Conference, tells us
that there is just one ulti-
mate alternative to a huge
prosperity loan to put men
to work. That is for the
Government to operate and
control "such basic indus
tries as are necessary to pro-
vide millions with the means
of decent human existence" "
We do not want that. He
does not want that. But if
we continue longer to the
orize about the human mis-
cry about us it will not mat
ter what we want.
The most conservative
thing that can be done today
is to float a prosperity loan
of such magnitude as will
furnish employment to the
greater part of the millions
who have no purchasing
power to sustain the mer-
chants and no jobs with
which to sustain self-respect.

Why Play With
Human Misery?

And so public works will
be expanded by act of Con-
gress by a bond issue,
whether the President likes
it or not. The indications
are that the amount provided
will be wholly inadequate.
Far more is needed today
than would have been neces-
sary a year ago when Sena-
tor Wagner introduced his
bill, and Mr.. Hearst first pro-
posed the plan.
We spent a year listening
to the jeers of the critics
who warned us smugly
against "hysteria. - Now the
most conservative business
men in the country are con-
vinced of the necessity. That
disposes of the objection on
principle-for we have fin
ally accepted the principle.
Having accepted the prin-
ciple, let us act upon it in a
big and adequate way. A
five billion dollar loan is
none too much - why then
play with the idea of half a
billion? We know that
would not approach the
necessities. Why play with
human misery?

DEVASTATING an


"A swer to Mr.. Hoover
excuse for opposing a
bonded public works pro-
gram to put men to work
and prevent a far graver
disaster than we have yet
known has just been made
by Governor Smith. The for
mer clinging to theories, and
refusing to face present-day
realities, wants these eight
to ten million men to be
satisfied without work and
without bread until "nor-
NAL employment" is restored
through business revival.
This is absurd, since there
can and will be no business
revival so long as these
thirty million people di-
rectly involved in unemploy-
ment have no purchasing
power. But Mr.. Hoover
cannot rid himself of the
notion that if credit is made
easy, business will take ad-
vantage and expand its en-
terprises regardless of this
tragic absence of a demand
ON industry because millions
have no money with which
to trade. This is in keeping
with his queer idea that if
the market can be made to
boom everything will be as
in the Babylonian days of
1928 and 1929; regardless
too, of whether the indus
trial stocks are earning
anything or not.
The bearish nature Of the
market will end when there
is a business revival to JUS
tify a bullish trend; but
again there will be no busi-
ness revival so long as
thirty million men involved
in unemployment have no
money to spend.
Mr.. Hoover apparently
has shut himself out from
the realities and in with his
theories, having no relation
to realities.

Hits the Nail
On the Head.

Mr.. Smith and every one
else agrees with many of
the plans of the President,
but the former hits the nail
on the head when he says:
"What is more important
is the main thing over
looked by the President, and
that is the need of finding
immediate productive en-
ployment for millions of
people. This problem tran
scends all technicalities, all
hair-splitting and all fine
spun theories of financing"
And he adds another
thought which is causing
some concern to people who
are in touch with realities,
who know something Of the
human misery of the last
three years:
IF we don't tackle this
problem now in a big way,
we shall be driven to much
more drastic measures a
few months from now, when
the millions of unemployed
will not be so patient with
quibbling over words"
1t is very evident that Mr..
Hoover has no proper con-
ception Of the situation as
it relates to human beings,
else he would not give us an
imitation of Nero fiddling
