erous of rs to ston thinking of the sELnEs
unemployed while the unemployed are starving we ougnt
to be able to think of them individuals (and to DO
something for and about them) if we have to con-
slider them lone of the many factors in large scheme
| of readustment." Unemployment may be symptom;
high temperature. And doctors often do not walt
for blood tests and complete diagnosis before they make
the patient comfortable, and prevent his burning away
by cold applications Charity is VIGOROUSLY cod' but in
this codness isn't inappropriate
Blowing Things Up
recognize the first time trace OF style IN Presl-
dent Hoovers utterance He says we cannot squander
ourselves into prosperity and what he means is that
whatever money is supplied must go to certain agencies
and be used in certain ways, while others, not on the
approved list, must do without This is constructive
craftsmanship sound economics, and has naturally
nothing to do with politics. only sgnfying that when We
get ready to initiate, we'll initiate the right balloons
Government in Business
If I am sceptcal of the legislation before Con-
gress it is not because have superior devices to
offer When the financial editors boil down proposal
to it's essence, they tell that the vast resources OF
the whole country expressed in governmental nanc-
ing corporation) will be placed behind Individual oanks
persistent, nagging worry will be simultaneousy re-
moved from the back minds; what have in the
banks may not be much but we are just as pleased TO
know that it is still there. And there is somethong
satisfactory in the thought that the Government as
whole is acting for the country as whole; 1t makes
us believe that 10 years from now America will still
stand It may make other people believe that the Gov
ernment has gone into business on scale 1OOOO tmeS
as great as Socialists have ever hoped for.
Save One Style
In SOME such jumbled way great many people sense
a change in the tone of the depression 1t has dflven
politicians to study econom1cs and even II they
choose the wrong course, merely the more difficult
course at least they have stopped playing politics.
Yet isn't it possible that of last years styles OF
thinking have been discarded little too soon? Wasn't
there for one fine week. the fashionable idea that mo
one in America shall starve'? Couldn't that
say on Sundays-with economics for every day.
A Graceful Bow
Justice of the Supreme Court and president of
great steel corporation resigned the same day. II
European and Europeanzed American critics of America
were right the judge should have had 10 lines in the
paper the steel man a page Actually Justice Holmes
got the page, and Mr.. Farrell small column. Actually
it matters very much to who appointed to the BENCH
and little who is appointed to be head of steel.
It often said that Justice Holmes did not relish the
enthusiasm of liberals he certainly did not think of him
self as liberal Judge because he thought of himself
just He had philosophy of life which underlay
his philosophy of law and this philosophy which, made
him LIBERAL refreshing because it at least 15O
years old and creative evolution
A Noble Experiment
He said "The Constitution is experiment" adding
that all life is experiment Jefferson believing that
nation ought to have little revolution and then
to get rid of established abuses had the idea. 1t
is idea hostile to many creeds although it back
to the ancient belief that is Gods experiment on
rigid and Interchangeable law; it is against inanimate
property and for living human beings And it adds
dignity to the dignified calling of highest judges
because it leaves them free to go beyond explaining and
applying the law and makes them interpreters of the
wisdom behind the law.
