LET'S GO FUNDAMENTAL

Much it SO be hoped for as a result
OF the Washington conference held
last week in response to President
Hoover's invitation to committees
from the twelve federal reserve dis
tricts.
The committees command respect
and they evidence much sincerity-
and worry.
There is hope, in particular. that
Mr.. Walter Teagle's committee TO
induce new employment by a short
ening OF the work week will get re-
suits. Mr.. Teagle's own Standard Oil
has tried and likes the five-day week.
The nation will expect these COM
mittees to get at their jobs with de-
termination and to produce definite
results.
Meanwhile something is to be said
about this method of procedure.

Importance Of political developments
in relation to industry.
Politics didn't do much to bring on
the depression, nor will politics, as
such, get US out, though both political
parties claim to the contrary.
They have to claim something. And
if they miss a bet now and then and
claim something that later on de-
velopes backfre, well, that's in the
game.
III political agencies are serving any
purpose in getting us around that
corner" as it has been poetically
called, that service consists in the use
of leadership, moral suasion and
certain stimulation.
Basically, industry and the people
themselves are the active factors
working for revival.
A leadership is growing up among
the people, and out of their needs
that holds higher hope than anything
political thus far.
Better, for example, than the plan
evolved at Washington, is the plan
set forth by the New York Advertis-
ing Club as the joint product of that
organization and the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor.
Washington overshadowed the New
York meeting in the news, but in the
long run there may be great things
as the outgrowth of that New York
meeting, in whic hall of the big ad-
vertising associations of America de-
clared their approval of the project.
The significance of this is in the fact
that in these associations most of the
manufacturing industries of the ma
ton are to be found.
A program of joint endeavor, be-
tween employer and labor was there
laid down. Washington went only
half that distance.
There is reason to believe that the
Washington program looks toward
the inclusion of labor in the creation
of something like national economic
council. Well, if SO, SO much to the
good.
But the New York program starts
on a solid foundation of just that
kind of cooperation, with democratic
procedure assured at the outset.
In both developments, there is the
sure sign that the public is awaken

Labor does not seem to fit into the
picture, save in the role Of some
thing to be arranged by these master
minds. Advance indications that la
Dor would have q deliberate role to
play have not materialized thus far,
though the predictions continue. There
is nothing to prevent the six COM
mittees from calling in labor repre-
sentatives.
But the whole method is one Of
starting at the top and putting all
responsibility in the hands Of those
who have all along had it in their
hands. It is essentially a deification
of autocracy in industry.
There probably will be results
helpful in this depression and that is
of course, the immediate aim. But
not single thing will have been ac-
complished toward creating an indus
trial structure that can prevent
another depression.
There is no recognition Of labor's
right to q voice. There is no demo-
cratic conception of industry.
This is not criticism of political
leader or party, for neither leader
nor party proposes any approach to
the processes of democracy as q
means of curing depressions. It is a
criticism of the politico-employel
mind pretty much as whole. Indus.
trially we are still in the pill-taking
stage. We have not learned right
living as a preventative.
