Our Trouble Is Not
Idle Money, But Idle Men

Some interesting observa-
tions were made this week
when the President and
others launched the anti
boarding campaign over the
radio. There is no excuse
for boarding now. Every
thing humanity possible has
been done to safeguard the
banks. There is no danger
in that quarter now if ordi-
nary judgment and common
sense are used in choosing
the depository.
But the purpose of the
anti-hoarding campaign is
not merely to get hidden
money out of hiding, but to
get it in use-to put money
to work.
Senator Robinson said:
IF every unemployed dol
lar in the United States
should be put to work to-
morrow-made to perform
the purpose for which it
was intended - unemploy-
ment would be diminished,
business would commence
to revive, and confidence
would take the place of
fear
Will getting the money
out of hiding and into banks
necessarily put it to work
these days? Many of the
banks are overflowing with
idle money today. Business
men have not been seeking
loans for the expansion Of
their business. Money not
in hiding but in banks has
been idle-because of the
collapse of trade. And bank
ers cannot be expected to
put their money out on
purely speculative enter
prises. Only through the
restoration of normal trade
can prosperity be restored.
Is it possible that our
statesmen cannot understand
that our trouble is not idle
money but idle men?

The Best That
Can Be Done

Nor would a general re-
vision have been practical
under the circumstances,
aside from that. We built a
Chinese wall to exclude all
other peoples from our mar
kets; and other nations re-
taliated by building Chinese
walls to exclude us from
their own. So long as the
tariff rates of other nations
exclude us, it would be ques-
tionable policy for us to
lower our own rates gen.
orally to admit their prod
ucts to our markets.
The entire world is suffer-
ing from this passion for
economic isolation which we
introduced. We can act now
only through negotiations
looking to reciprocal action,
and the President has re-
fused to consider that
method for the restoration
Of trade.
The House has passed a
bill requesting the President
to enter into negotiations for
the removal of trade bar
riers, and to call an interna-
tional conference to consider
plans. This is the best that
can be done under existing
circumstances. 1t remains to
be seen whether the Senate
passes it and, if so, whether
the President vetoes it.

waste time passing measures,
however meritorious, that
are doomed to Mr.. Hoover s

THE tax bill to raise
Il enough money over and
above normal to meet the
most appalling deficit in the
Federal Treasury necessarily
bears down hard on the peo-
pie. It is impossible to raise
almost a billion and a quar-
ter in one year without i'm
posing hardships on the
citizen. But the House was
not confronted with the
problem of doing it or not
doing it-there was no al
tentative.
The nations credit, the
value of its bonds are at
stake. 1t seems only yester-
day, when President Cool
idge was solemnly telling
Europe that it could not ex-
pect help from us until she
had put her house in order
by balancing her budgets.
That is our job now.
And the House has prob
ably done the best possible
with the least possible hard
ship on the people. An eff
fort may be made on the
floor to raise as much as
$350,000,00O Of the amount
required by the authoriza-
tion of 2.75 per cent beer
with a tax upon it. There
is little probability that this
will succeed. Prohibition
has deprived us of an
enormous revenue and if we
want to keep it we must pay
the price.

Which Is the
"Panacea"?

The Administration is Of
fering Government bonds Of
small denominations to get
money out of hiding; but
General Dawes stresses the
point that this is not done to
get money for the Govern
ment that can be used in put
ting idle men to work. He
merely proclaims the fact
that Government bonds will
bring forth money. Why
not bring forth more money
in the same way to put men
to work7
The President plays much
with the word "panacea. "
Which is the "panacea -
the plan that brings forth
money for the banks that
business cannot use because
there is no trade, or that
which brings forth money to

No General Revision
Of the Tariff

VI GuG dEu1
We have received a num-
Der Of letters asking why
the Democratic House does
not do something about the
tariff. Something has been
done; all that can be done
with the President waiting
with a veto Of a general
revision, and in view OF the
world conditions brought
about largely by our stpuld
action in building our CHI
nese wall against trade.
It would have been stupid
for the Democratic House to
have undertaken a general
revision. The Democrats
have a small majority in the
House; no majority in the
Senate; and the President
unquestionably would have
vetoed any downward revi-
sion measure offered. We
should have had weeks OF
partisan debate and turmoil
ending in futility and weeks
devoted to the business crisis
would have been lost.
There can be no general

How to Restore
Trade

There is a way to put
millions of idle men to work
on wages that will be spent
in the restoration of trade.
Suppose the Administra-
tion would condescend to
consider -billion-dol-
lar prosperity loan for the
building of national high
ways that are needed?
The President says:
1.-The safest risk in the
world is a share in the fu-
ture of the American peo-
ple."
Because it is the "safest
risk" the moment such a
loan were offered the money
in hiding not only would
emerge but would go to
work and put idle men to
work. With these millions
of idle men on wages, trade
would have a chance. The
restoration of trade would
be a blessing to the mer-
chant and his demand on
the factories for goods would
put more idle men to work
in the shops.
