LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

his output was not particu-
larly handsome. But that
clumsy shoe was HIS OWN.
Into it he had put a PORTION
OF HIS OWN LIFE-and it
gave him a chance to gloat,
and.a chance to dream.
But what chance has the
man who holds a job in the
Machine Age to either gloat or
dream?
Have you seen an automobile
made in one of Ford's fac
tories? There a man gets a
very high Giving wage; yet
never was a man more poorly
paid, FOR THE ESSENTIAL
THING WHICH MAKES FOR
PROUD AND EAGER LIVING
HAS BEEN ELIMINA A T E D
FROM HIS JOB.
All day long he stands before
an endlessly travelling plat
form, and tightens a bolt. He
tightens that bolt accurately
and efficiently, and he helps
to make a good car. But what
does he do to his life? He de-
prives his life of its human
significance. He becomes a
beautifully synchronized ma
chine-but he ceases to be a
man.
The terrible thing that Is
happening to that man in the
Ford factory is happening to
people all over the world. Jobs
have lost their meaning. People
have been robbed of their
pride.
AND NEITHER PROFIT
NOR PLEASURE CAN BE A
SUBSTITUTE FOR PRIDE.
Why are women restless in
modern homes?
Because all the creative tasks
have been taken out of those
homes to make a profit for
Big Business.
Why does the modern. work
ing youngster care so little for
his work? Why does he COM
pare so unfavorably with the
old-fashioned apprentice who
worked so willingly for a term
of years at beggarly stipend?
For the same reason. The ap-
prentice was working to express
himself. The twentieth century
youngster is merely part of an
intricate machine which makes
dividends for stockholders.
Why is the whole world rest
less, discontented, aimleSs, "e-
sentful? Because life has lost
its Importance. Machines have
done more than rob men of
jobs. They have robbed men
of pride.
There is a dreadful, dumb
humiliation in the hearts Of
men. You can't cure that with
higher wages or shorter hours
or added leisure. How then?
Do you know of a way?

ELSIE ROBINSON salvation.
But there's one ill concern
ing which I've seen no men
ton. and that's the predica-
ment of the man who has
been robbed of his Importance.
No, I don't mean the unem-
ployed man, or the jobless man.
I mean the millions of men
whom the Machine Age has
showed into jobs which have
no meaning, and which rob
the worker of all his creative
pride.
Creative pride-the desire to
make something, to put one
self on record-that goes deep
er than the greed for money
rewards or social prestige. It
goes as deep as the roots of
life itself; as deep as a mans
need for food or reproduction.
1t is the motive power which
turned ape-things into men:
and men into civilized beings.

Statesmen Seem
Bent on Bloodshed

Not long ago Stanley
Baldwin said that there is
not an intelligent statesman
in Europe who does not
know that another great
war would end in a tragedy
similar to the fall of the
Roman civilization. It does
not require any superintel-
lect to see that. That is
positive.
From which one might as
sumo that the intelligent
statesmen of Europe and
the world would be concen-
trating on preserving the
peace and on adopting poll
cies making for peace. Any
other assumption would
mean that these statesmen,
clear-eyed to eventualities,
are working to bring about
the destruction of civiliza-
tion.
And yet as one looks
about the world one is con-
vinced that statesmen are
stupid or worse; for every
where the drums are beat
ing. What asininity!
In Japan there is a de-
termination for war-a war
of conquest-which m ay
very easily involve the world
and not China alone. Among
the great nations in the Old
World, the one most prone to
peace is Russia-where gov

But one war is not enough
to satify statesmen who are

another great war would

France still are at swords

making their alignm n s.
The shipment of arms to
little, unfortunate Austria
is thought by some to be
meant for Hungary, and to
be in the interest of Italy,
and so England and France
send a ultimatum to Vienna.
At which Italy bristles and
speaks out. She wants to
know why the exchange of
armaments involving France,
Rumania, Yugoslavia and
Czechoslovakia has attracted
no comment.
Austria is a little country
and now in a sad plight; but
so was Serbia when another
ultimatum gave the signal
for the slaughter of twenty

Christ Of Peace
Is Still Preferred

l am writing this on a
Sunday, which is said to be
a holy day. Many people
are going to church. I have
been reading the papers
and they are full of wars
and rumors of wars. And
they report the plan of the
good churchmen of England
and Scotland to relegate the
Christ Of peace and hu-
manity-which they think
the Christ of Sentimental
ity"-for a more "virile"
Christ.
A Christ with a steel he'll
met perhaps; with a sword
perhaps; perhaps with a
hand grenade-a Christ in
our own image.
Somehow we prefer the
sentimental Christ who
thought of children and the
poor, and preached the gos-
pei of "peace, good will TO-
ward men"

Exile at Doom
Gives Good Advice

There is a statesman in
retirement in a castle at
Doom who seems to have
given it some thought. He
concludes that unemploy-
ment, if long continued, is
going to wreck us all. He
even has the courage to say
something about the substi-
tuition to an appalling de-
gree of machine for man
labor. And he has the queer
notion that machinery is
not so sacred as man. He
even says that if labor
saving machinery is to make
it impossible for millions to
live, it is the duty of states
manship so to regulate the
use of machinery as to make
it possible for men to exist.
He will not get much en-
couragement for that from
the wise and the good.
That need not mean the
scrapping Of the machine;
it may mean a change in the
number of work hours and
days; it may even mean
passing on some of the ad-
vantages of modern inven-
tions to the workers.
The Washington times., 1933-02-22

THE Bishop of Liverpool,
l. the Dean of Canterbury
and the Moderator of the
Church of Scotland have de-
cided that Christ must be
made over in their own image,
or, as they put it, make him
over to conform with what
some people want today. Of
course, they are not going to
rewrite the Bible, but they
propose to wipe out if pos
sible these traditional pic
lures which show Christ as
meek, tender, sympathetic
and make Him into a real
"he-man." That is what
they mean, for they say spe-
officially that they want to
make Him more "mascu-
line" /" AS they put it:
I'VE want to get rid of
sentimentality and substitute
virility."
Of course it must be en-
barrassing for the rulers of
the earth just now to have
the masses thinking of Christ
as a Prince of Peace, or as
one who represents human
ity. AS we look about. the
earth today and note the in
sanity of statesmen itching
for war and slaughter, it is
easy to believe that it would
be advantageous to their
plans were Christ pictured in
a helmet, with a sword, and
the scowl of Mars upon his
face. Virility, if you
please. No sickly sentimen-
tality on which is based the
thought that Christ was the
Prince of Peace.

Blood Of Boys
to Help Business.

A gentleman appeared be-
fore a congressional commit
tee the other day with the
suggestion that one way to
lift the depression is to make
a war. That, he said, would
expand credit, and give an
incentive to industry, and an
opportunity for a. few men
to make vast sums of money.
He neglected to add that it
would also give an opportun-
ity to slaughter millions of
young men and thus help get
rid of the unemployment
problem.
In other words the i'm
preston conveyed is that it
might help business if the
blood of boys could be
coined into dividends.
But he forgot something
else-the fact that the last
war has not been paid for;
that the edifice of civiliza-
tion is not yet sound be-
cause of the last war, and
that we are not so sure that
our civilization can survive,
not the next war but the
last. And since we cannot
pay for the last war, where
is the money coming from
to pay for the nextS

money, isn't it true that your
mind centers on what someone

Why not try for a totally diff

your continued planning.
