Road to Peace

BY BENJAMIN A. Osborne.
IF mere advocacy of peace were
Il the actual instrument with
which to clear the atmosphere of
near future wars, I should find
sufficient Solace in it to diSabuse
my mind of the certainty of wars
and more wars.
Discussion of peace subjects is
worthy of encouragement. regard
less of the results it may be eX-
pected to achieve. For in dis
cussing peace n may lose some
of the ego that seems to direct
many peace advocates in the
wrong direction.
The real, lasting road that lead
to universal peace is devoid of
intolerance and injustices, and is
made of brotherhood, co-opera-
ton, equality. 1t strikes me that
as long as the causes of war exist,
the hope for universal peace is
an impossibility.
The powerful nations that now
oAO POPO1d1 1HAAlS OAAC 4OCd VI PCoOO
are not essentially concerned with
dispensing justice to the minorities
living under their jurisdiction. 1t
is my judgment that the talk of
peace by many of the political
leaders is just one of their schemes
to make more secure their grip
on the weaker groups.
Let the nations that claim so
much interest in peace of the
world begin to treat their less
fortunate brothers with more re-
spect, giving an equal chance in
industry, education, and politics,
and the world then will begin to
shake off its fears of near future
wars.

a ND he's right. Whether any
IA body believes it or not. the
column I turn u is premeditated.
l used to fashion it somewhat after
the manner OF a big league baseball
pitcher. After twenty years I was
arrogant enough to assume that 1
had been graduated from the
bushes. And my notion was. III
try and give them change of pace
My fast ball may have had some
thing less than fire Or a hop. but
after three II four strict" columns
1t was not notion, Now III ease I'D
a little and attempt to be f~acetious."
1t never was my idea that I had
any great capacity as a humorist.
and still I thought it might be pos
Sible for me to change from grave
to gay.
That just won't work any more.
Unless your jokes are very good,
nobody wants to hear them. The
American public has become econo-
mically conscious. Ten years ago
an article about imitation or the gold
standard seemed to most of the mil
lions academic. John Doe said:
Where does this touch me? I've
got a steady job and $50 a week and
none of these theories can disturb
it."
But suddenly this point of view
has changed. Men with $50 a week
want to know, What Will my $50
buy if it is no longer gold but some
thing else?"

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

President Henry I. Hartman Of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce.
AS a matter Of fact, we are about to make
an experiment which is not only new to us,
but new to the whole world. We made the
first great experiment in political democracy,
and we proved to a Skeptical world that it
could work; now We seem about to find out
whether a modern democracy can readapt a
complex industrialism in such way that the
essential features of both democracy and in
dustrialism come through unimpaired.
There is nothing in any of this to brighten
us. Revolutionary? To be sure; but isn't our
whole tradition based on revolution? A ma
ton that can put through its revolution in
as quiet and orderly a manner as we are
putting through this one has little reason to
get nervous.

Pledge to Hair Shirt

A ND as a newspaper writer, I am
"A convinced that for the next
four or five years, to put it mildly,
no attention can be gained by any
body who is not intent upon the
present economic situation. When
unemployment has ceased, when
nobody goes cold and hungry, when
everything has gone to three hun
dred, then it will be time to try
and be just too funny about all af-
fairs upon this earth.
But here and now I make the
vow to draw a hair shirt over my
ears and to say, ut is my job and
the job of every one who has to
leave to print to tackle as best he
car the problems which af1ict US
all"
And If by any chance I happen
to be light o. whimsical in the next
twelve months, please call it to my
attention. 1t will not be by design.
This is no time for jokes. And I
never was very good at them any
how. I don't pretend to be a pro-
found economist or commentator.
But, good or bad, the very best that
I can do is to urge upon readers
that cooperation which is so neces-
sary to salvation.
And if this proves to be bore
some, all I can say is that I know
nothing more tiresome to a man or
woman than to want a job and have
none.

CKIES are frightening in every
- direction. Even for mothers
there comes a CLEAN. A distln-
guished child specialist announces
that it's all right to rock the baby.
Could anything be more heart
ening? For more than a decade
mothers have had a tough time,
what with all the danger signals
that fared about them, and the
warnings of what would happen if
they INDUCED their natural in
stinctS.
They've had to bring up infants
according to a rigid mathematical
code. and about the only thing
got out OF the effort was the some
what empty satisfaction Of calling
herself a parent.

in a world that provides such mar
velous articles as a baby and a rock

gether. Fortunately both are COM

WOODIN'S EMBARRASSMENT.
THAT Mr.. Woodin, a private citizen. &C
Il cepted special favors from ]. p. Morgan
q CO. in the form of stock far below its mar
ket price Is not a matter Of public interest.
That Mr.. Woodin, the secretary of the treas
my, thus is obligated to Mr.. Morgan for past
benefactions is very much the public's
business.
Tn secretary of the treasury more than
any other man controls federal reserve policy.
The House Of Morgan stands to make or lose
millions on the turn of federal reserve policy.
The secretary of the treasury is in charge
OF income tax collections. J. P. Morgan and
his partners, who have paid no income tax in
the last two and three years, now are being
investigated by the government.
The secretary of the treasury, under the
new emergency bank law, has been made an
absolute dictator to clean up a financial sys-
TEN Of which the House of Morgan is a very
important part.
1t is unthinkable that the secretary of the
treasury should be a personal beneficiary of the
House of Morgan.
We have the highest confidence in Mr..
Woodin's honesty and integrity as a public off,
cial. Probably this revelation of past favors
from Morgan would make him especially scru-
pulous in his official relations with the Nor
gans. But that is not the point.
Mr.. Woodin henceforth is likely to prove
a liability and an embarrassment to the United
States government and to the Roosevelt admin
l%stration. This is unfortunate, perhaps even
unfair. Nevertheless, it is life.
Mr.. Woodin made his choice. When he be-
came the recipient of personal financial favors
from J. p. Morgan & Company, he disquali-
fed himself as a proper secretary of the
treasury.

when the revolution was going to begin,

olution already has taken place, and there
have been no casualties-except possibly, for

ner, without bloodshed or mob scenes, we
needn't think that everything is going to go
on just as it did in the old days.
The Roosevelt administration industrial
control bill steps off in a brand new direc-
ton, and it is a good long step, too. 1t
crumples up all our old theories about the
proper relationship between government and
private industry and losses them in the
waStebasket.
1t goes so. far along the new path that it
takes reforms which used to look like the
very limit in radicaliSm-such things as mini
mum wage laws. short work week regulations
and the like-and makes mere incidentals out
of them.

lished p~igeonholes. If it is Socialism, no So

just a line in defense of vicious
pests" 1t seems that any one who
so desires can take a slam at the
bum, as you call them, and get away
with it. I suppose because they
are engaged too busily in struggling
for an existence to bother with de-
Tending themselves. I, at present,
am broke. I should not be wasting
time answering vicious pests, but
once in a while the people can learn
different samples of buns, or, I
would say, poor, unfortunate vic
tins of circumstance.
When ] was in business in Seattle,
the organizations used to get my
address from Folks directory and
call around for contributions. I
told them then the same as I would
tell them now. I would investigate
myself and give what I could spare
directly.
I left Seattle seven or eight years
ago and have travelled extensively,
mostly paying bus or train fare,
but once in a while business would
be bad, so I would ship my bag

the highway hitch-hiking.
Then someone who pretends to

years and made a fair living, but

the channels of hard work and have

Brains as q Reprouch

1T annoyS me to find editorial con-
Il demnation of President Roose-
velt's brain trust" For a great
many years the American public
has been comparatively we'll salts
fed if an American executive sur
rounded himself with advisers
drawn from the dominant wing of
the current majority party.
L fail to see why a bright young
experimental from some clustered
hall should not be a better choice
than an old line politician who
foundered around Washington for
a couple of generations to no good
effect.
Moley and Tugwell may be less
than inspired, and yet I would ra-
ther put my money on them than
on Moses and Mills. The practical
boys, the realistic boys, the waywise
boys, have had their chance. And
what a mess they made of it.
The cry is these new advisers are
mere striplings, still wet behind the
ears. But what have we had from
various ancientS who were deny
drafted twenty years ago? The more
experimental Franklin Roosevelt be-
comes, the better 1 like him.

JUSTICE

JUDGE HARDY s, McDEvITT of Phila-
y delphia recently had before him a deputy
city collector who had pleaded guilty to en-
bezzlement. Instead of sending him to Jail
at once, Judge McDevitt remarked:
"Iu wait until I see what sentences those
New York bankers who stole millions re-
ceive. Then I can give him a sentence in
fair proportion to the time they'll have to
spend in jail.
There is little doubt that this attitude will
appeal immensely to the people in general.
That sort of talk from the bench ought to
do a great deal to re-establish confidence in
the theory that big fish and little fish must
fare alike when they fall into the net of the
law.

person with a tendency to rheu-
matte disorders to get himself into
the best hygienic condition.
Therefore, every error Of diet and
every tendency to overweight, ex-
e%rcise, rest, ventilation, and all
other factors involved in personal
hygiene must be controlled suitably.
Every physician who makes a
speciality of rheumatic disorders
finds dozens of people coming to
him with advanced conditions, who
have been misled into the belief
that it is possible to get something
out of a bottle to cure rheumatism.
Vast sums Of money are spent
constantly on rheumatism remedies,
snake oils, and all sorts of similar
preparations which are worthless
and even harmful, because they
cause poStponement of essential
diagnosis and treatment.

A N important factor in the de-
N velopment of rheumatic dis
orders is over-uSe of certain joints
or exposure of such joints to re-
peated injuries.
These are likely to occur particu-
larly in the ankle joints in stokers,
who shovel coal using the foot to
push the shovel, and in gardeners
who use the foot in the same way.
There also are the possibilities OF
injuries to the elbow and shoulder
joints of truck drivers.
Bakers, walters, cooks and hair
dressers who are much on their
feet are most likely to develop rheu-
matte joints in the lower limbs.
