Ogden Mills Opens
Hoover Campaign

1t must be clear by now
that Ogden Mills is to be
the Borah and the Hughes
Of Mr.. Hoover in the present
campaign. The Republican
convention was personally
conducted by him. He fought
the battle there against a
declaration for repeal and
modification; and more than
any man, except Mr.. Hoover,
whom he represented, he is
responsible for the utterly
dishonest and cowardly
declaration in the platform.
He now opens the cam
paign for Hoover in Boston
in a speech that seems rather
remote from the realities of
the economic situation. We
can imagine how that speech
would go anywhere west of
Pittsburgh! Mr.. Mills could
do much better if he had a
better cause.
But while he was speak
ing in Boston, some women
of the Women Organiza-
tion for National Prohibition
Reform were speaking their
minds about Mr.. Mills. This
organization was perfected to
assist in bringing about the
repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment and the modifi-
cation of the Volstead act.
1t placed its cause above
party politics-or pretended
to do so.
1t stood for the prohibi-
tion plank at the Repub-

MIR. HOOVER, whose Re-
V1c nst r uction Finance
Corporation is loaning two
billion dollars from the peo-
ple's treasury to banks and
railroads, is utterly shocked
at the proposal of the Wag-
ner-Garner bill that money
be loaned on adequate Sc
curity to private corpora
tions and business enter
prises. He vetoes the meas
ure with a high-sounding
paragraph:
"This proposal violates
every sound principle Of
public finance and of gov
ernment. Never before has
so dangerous a suggestion
been seriously made in our
country"
All of which would be i'm
portant if true.
But it just so happens that
it is not true that such a
thing has never been done
before in this country. The
War Finance Corporation,
which was the inspiration Of
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, acted upon this
dangerous suggestion" in
a crisis, not comparable to
this of today, and to the
very great advantage of the
nation. The Government
loaned money to private
corporations requiring such
assistance when engaged in
the production Of war ma
terial.

Another Campaign
Of Buncombe?

Not all the Republican
members, however.
Mr.. Mills had told the dis
senters that the two plat
forms were practically iden-
tical on prohibition, which
simply was untrue.
Bishop Cannon does not
think so.
The Anti-Saloon League
does not think so.
Mr.. Mills knows it is not
so, though apparently he
told these women it was so.
Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, a
woman of keen intelligence
and sincerity on the prohi-
bition question, points out
the absurdity of such silly
assumption.
1t will be interesting to
observe whether for the Sec
ond time in four years ma
tional prohibition is to be
saved by people who are
against it, for never has an
issue been more clearly cut.
Are we to have another
campaign of buncombe, Of
grotes que misrepresenta-
tinns9 We wonder.

Lack of F'rankness in
Hoover's Veto Message

Mr.. Hoover will never be
able to understand that this
present crisis is a Jar greater
peril to our institutions and
economic system than the
war ever was.
There is a characteristic
lack of frankness in Mr..
Hoover veto message. 1t is
not proposed to loan money
to any private corporation
that asks it. The absolute
condition is that such money
shall be loaned as have work
to do but cannot get the
money from the private
banks, and that this work
will give employment to
some of the unemployed.
The fight against unem-
ployment is a more menac-
ing battle than the fight
against the Central Powers.
But Mr.. Hoover, having
the power of veto, regard
less of the reputation of his
Administration by the people
at the polls in 1880, the re-
lief measure to be passed
will be little better than a
gesture-and next winter is
coming on. Sufficient unto
the day is the evil therof.

This is not an apology for
laziness, or Stiffness, or cow
ardice; but it is an explanation
of basic facts, which no. fair
soul can ignore.
If you have money in your
pocket today, while your neigh
Dor begs, be glad for your good
fortune-but do not give your
self all the credit. He may be
somewhat to blame for his con-
dition, but rarely is he entirely
to blame.
You pride yourself on your
spunk. You despise him for his
spinelessness. But you did not
make your own spunk. Before
ever you were born, your fore
fathers built it for you. 1t was
part of their gift to you. You
inherited it, along with certain
chemical conditions in your
blood. with the health Of your
tissues and the strength Of
your bones.
And though your neighbor
may seem as healthy as you
are, though he may weigh as
much, eat as much, attend the
same schools, live on the same
street, there is a lack in him
which is not in you. He is, not
deliberately a failure or a fool.
He longs, with a fierce hunger
which you have never had to
feel, for the courage and tho
competency which was your
birthright.
You have made much of
your own good luck, partner,
but you also have inherited
and acquired much Of it with
out any effort on your own
part. AND BECAUSE OF
THAT, YOU OWE A DEBT
AND YOU HAVE AN OBLIGA-
TON.
YOU OWE A DEBT TO
THOSE WHO WENT BEFORE,
WHO BY THEIR STRUGGLES
AND SACRIFICES MADE YOU
WHAT YOU ARE TODAY.
AND SINCE THEY PASSED
THOSE GOOD GIFTS ON TO
YOU, YOU ARE UNDER OBJ
LEGATION TO PASS THEM
ON TO OTHERS LESS FOR

their whines of encouragement,
their mumbled tales of "bad

You don't really believe those
tales. You feel that they're
largely to blame for their own
bad luck. Why didn't they
save when times were good?
Why didn't they use their
brains and get ahead? Why do
they give up so easily now
when, by using some gumption'
they might hold on?
Hardened Hearts
You turn your head away

You harden your heart against

An Interesting Story
From London

Meanwhile, an interesting
story from London: In the
House Of Commons, Winston
Churchill attacked the Min
istry on the Lausanne agree
ment Of debtor nations that
the United States must pay
their debts for them, with
out an understanding with
this country. Mr.. Chamber
lain in his reply said bluntly
that there had been CONVEX
sations with Americans.
Of course he did not mean
with casual American tour
ist.
Nor with a modern DR..
Logan among the publicists
without official power or re-
sponsibility.
He, a statesman in office,
must have meant that some
one in America in a position
of official responsibility had
given assurance that the
debts would be transferred
to American taxpayers.
With whom were these
conversations held?
Mr.. Hoover, Mr.. Stimson,
no one in the executive
branch of the Government
has the authority to give any
such assurances; and in view
of the almost unanimous
opinion of the people who
are asked to assume the bur-
den, and the declaration Of
Congress, it would have been
sheer impudence to have
given such assurances-im-
pudence and worse.
The debtor nations in
money, ships, and vast do
mains of territory, have had
all from Germany that can
be exacted from a conquered
nation; they knew the rep
arations they asked could
never be paid; and they W
derstood when they begged
us for loans to serve them
selves that the repayment of
the loans were not dependent
on the full payment of the
reparations.
Mr.. Hoover moratorium
gave them the talking point
they wanted.
