ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE PRESS

Newspaper management is claimed
to be better than the management OF
banks, industries, and the govern
ment. That statement looks like a
conceited one for any newspaper to
print. Yet it is the considered view
of Dean Ackerman, of the Columbia
university school of journalism, as
stated in his latest report.
Has this gentleman fattered the
newspaper boys too much? Many
will say so, and will find plenty of
flaws in our profession. But they
should reflect that newspapers are
very much limited by the demands
of the public. They are in the po-
sition, let us say, of a retail store.
If that store gives the people one
line of goods when the people de-
mand something quite different, it
will probably have to go out of busi-
ness.
So if a newspaper gives it's read
ers mostly literary and scientific dis
cussion, which of course would be
highly educational, when the peopl
want a bright and entertaining re
Election of actual life, that newspa-
per can't expect to do business very
long.
While many newspapers give too
much space to crime and scandal,
yet in the main the press attempts
to give faithful picture of life.
Such a reflection of life performs an
immeasurable service, since people |
always have to know the truth about |
anything before they can improve
that thing. Where this picture shows
defects in our life, the newspapers
urge that suitable remedies be ap-
Piled
Without the cooperation of the
probably half our COM
munity organizations would cease to
exist. They could not live without
the publicity, largely unpaid, which
the newspapers give them. There
would be no means without newspa-
pers, of calling attention to the SER
vice and benefits of these move
ments. People would settle down in
their own narrow little lives, and
The movements for national and COM
nunity welfare would languish. The
newspapers keep the world awake. z

THE BIG WIND

Gust as poor little Porto Rico had
been making some progress toward
recovery from the hurricane of 1928,
another big wind comes along, and
again hundreds of lives are destroy
ed and thousand or more people
are injured, besides incalculable
damage done to property. Porto Rico
is one of Uncle Sans outlying farms,
and he is distressed that his chill
dren out there are thus harassed and
afflicted.
~ Such a storm is one penalty which
people have to pay for the soft
breezes of the tropics. Those balmy
airs conceal a threat of tempest,
which breaks, loose with wild vio-
lence from time to time, and man
and his works are prostrated.

HOME SATIsFACTIONS

People sometimes regret that their
home town does not provide this or
that advantage which they could
have by living in some bigger place.
They hear of fine lectures, fine plays,
fine concerts, etc., oered to the
dwellers in great cities. They envy
the residents of these places for
these opportunities.
But people in these large places
miss the intimate friendships form
ed in more neighborly town. They
are swallowed up and ignored in big
city life. But in town or city like
Milford they join with their neigh
bors in interesting organizations,
and are given a chance to develop
their talents. They can obtain all
the education they want through
books, magazines, and newspapers,
they obtain music by the radio or by
learning to play or sing themselves.
The small city gives chance for
personal development, which the
larger one does not.

NEW THINGS TO DISCOVER

The observance of Columbus Day,
October II, celebrates what was
probably the greatest deed of dis
covery in the history of the world.
The question may well be asked,
what is there left now for people to
discover?
One great change which time has
brought has been the exploration
and occupation of the habitable
globe. Formerly the existence of
wild and unexplored territory left
plenty of opportunity for energy and
ambition. If they had business de-
pressions back in Columbus day, and
people had no work, they could strike
off in new country and support them
selves from the soil
This condition prevailed in our
country to a partial extent until a
recent date. While all our territory
has been explored for many years,
yet there was until a comparatively
recent time plenty of cheap and un-
used land which people could obtain
and utilize. There was always an
opportunity for a pair of willing
hands.
Today our country is not merely
all discovered, but mostly occupied
and utilized. If we want to go into
new country, we have to seek the
wilds of South America or Africa,
which may be dangerous and un-
wholesome. If we want to live in the
United States, we usually have to |
locate in some settled neighborhood.
Yet there are plenty of things to
discover right around home. We
can discover new ways to make
living, new ways to serve the peo-
pie, new methods of reducing pro-
duction costs, new applications of
science to daily life, new plans for
social cooperation.
If Christopher Columbus were
alive today, he would not sit around
grieying because there are no more
continents to discover. He would
discover new things in daily life, and
through them win fame and fortune.

HARDENED TO CRIME

In a certain country town years
ago, there was burglary one night
1t was a peaceful sort of burg, where
such events were almost without pre-
cedent. The amount of loot cap
tured was not important. But peo-
pie were stirred to their depths.
Nothing else was talked of for days.
People dreamed what they would
do, if some night they woke up to
see some bold bad man pointing his
gun at their heads. Some days la
ter, a man was arrested charged
with this offense. To accommodate
the crowd desiring to attend the
hearing, it became necessary to ad-
journ to the largest hall in the place,
holding over 400 people.
The crowd packed the room, and
listened with breathless attention.
The emotion which stirred that COM
munity illustrated the simple and
trustful life of those days. Bandits
and hold-up men, racketeers and
gangsters, were unknown.
Suppose we were to go back to
that old town today, and that some
one was arrested charged with
similar offense. How much of a stir
would be created? Would the crowd
pack that old hall? Even if not
many burglaries are even now COM
mitted in that still peaceful neigh
borhood, people read about those
doings every day. Their minds are
hardened to them, and they would
not be so shocked. Probably the lit
tie office room in the village hall
where trials are ordinarily held |
would hold all spectators now.
Thus is reflected the way our
thoughts have hardened about crime.
1t has become a commonplace, some
thing that people feel can't be help
ed. But it can be helped, here in
Delaware at least. If people would
devote their utmost attention,
schools, homes, and church.
IS, to steer the young folks away
rom crime, and would give them op-
through work and play to
work off their superfiuous energies,
rhine would again become a minor
actor.

HERE'S WHAT THE TARIFF HAS
NOT DONE

The Hawley-Smoot tariff is not al
embargo on imports. 1t did no
cause the depression. It has not de
suited in foreign retaliation against
us. Here is the proof of each Of
these statements:
(1) The Hawley-Smoot law was
passed in June 1880 and finished its
first two years of operation on July
1 of this year. During these two
years we imported foreign merchan-
disc valued at $4,141, 100000, and of
this sizable total $50 came in duty
free. Of our total imports, in other
words, $1,323, 100000 paid duty and
$2,S1S, 100000 came in duty free. The
tariff is not an embargo.
(2) The depression began in the
fall of 1929 and as we look back
now we can see it coming in the
spring of 1929. The Hawley-Smoot
tariff was not passed until June
1880. The tariff did not cause the
depression.
(3) For the first two years of the
Hawley-Smoot tariff our exports
amounted to almost 5 billion dollars
-$4,940,710,000, to be exact. The
tariff has not destroyed our export
trade.
(D Foreign nations have raised
their tariffs during the past two
years and they have done so in or
der to protect their own producers
and labor from foreign competition
in their own markets.. They have not
raised their tariffs against us alone,
but against all nations invading
their markets which they regard as
belonging first and foremost to their
own producers. And note this: In
the four years 1925-192S, in other
words before the Hawley-Smoot re-
vision was ever begun, 81 big and
little foreign nations made 81 up
ward revisions in their tariffs. The
tariff has not resulted in foreign |
retaliation against us.
So much for what the tariff has |
NOT done. What has it done? 1t has |
restricted the importation of foreign
into this country and |
thereby kept American plants going
which otherwise would have been |
idle and it has kept American labor
employed which otherwise would be
the streets. That's what the
.ariff has done, and the man doesn't
i've who can deny it.
AS bad as you think the depres-
lion has been, ask yourself if things
would nave been better or worse
With increased imports coming into
his country during the past two
ears.

THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN

No less am authority than Frank
r. Kent, Democrat, writer for a
Democratic newspaper, declares
that the Democratic politicians are
basing their campaign upon the the
ory that if only they will make no
mistakes" they can sit back and let
the depression elect their ticket. BY
making no mistakes" they meant
that their candidates for President
and Vice President must not say
anything that would offend anybody.
Above everything the candidates
must avoid saying anything that
would brand them as radical. Nor
must anybody be permitted to speak
for them who was tarred with the
radical stick.
And this noble strategy is being
carried out. The clear Roosevelt
policy, as Mr.. Kent expresses it,
has been ito trust the Progressives
to hold their belief that he is 'one
of us while convincing the conser-
vatives that he isn't" To that end,
again quoting Mr.. Kent, che has had
two careful Columbia University
professors helping him with his
speeches." and 'has not said very
much that wa simportant." He has
shed no new light upon conditions,
says Mr.. Kent. "and some of the
remedies he has proposed have
seemed purposely cloudy and
vague" He has avoided the deeply
controversial subject of the bonus"
and he has avoided antagonizing
any organized minority, and express
sed solicitude for every class"
In ether words, by the confession
of his friends, Governor Roosevelt |
is deliberately making a perfectly
colcrless campaign, proposing moth
ing concrete enough to make an is
sue, offering no definite program,
nobody-basing his
hopes of election upon capitalizing
the distress of the country and gain
ing the support of organized groups
that want to raid the treasury. AS
part of this plan the candidate for

 From greed arises mutual dis trust that casts a blight on all human dealings; from greed arises hateful envy which makes a man consider the advantages of another as losses to himself; from greed arises narrow in- dlvidualiSm which orders and subordinates everything to it's own advantage without taking account of others, on the con- trary, cruelty trampling under foot all rights of others. Hence the disorder and inequality from which arises the accumulation of the wealth of nations in the hands of a small group of in- dividuals who manipulate the market of the world at their own caprice, to the immense harm Of the masses, as we showed last year in our encyclical letter, "Quadragesimo Ann O."-Con- greSsional Record.
