SUMMARIZING his ideas of what brought on
- the 1929 collapse, Owen D. Young remarks
that it was the system which broke down, not
men.
In the sense of mems ability to survive dis
aster and emerge from difficult situation that
is true but in the sense that leaders Of American
business and finance failed to realize the folly
of inordnate greed, it is not
To begin with, there was not much Of a sys-
tenn to break down. Our great industrial and
commercial institutions enjoyed practically COM
plete freedom in the management of their
affairs They could create paper values and
they did, could overproduce, water capital and
expand credit out of all reason.
It was a case of economic anarchy, guided by
the philosophy of greed Common sense II not
conscience was kicked under the table by our
best minds. Like gamblers with streak OF WIN
ming luck, they imagined that prosperity had
been made a permanent feature of American lie.
MO one needed to worry about the future any
~ more. to let them tell it. Our national
DESTINY was to find expression in such exalted
obiectives as getting two cars in every garage,
French phone in every bedroom and enough
travelling expenses for statesmen or suclent
number of conventions to support all the new
hotels.

You can call the show a system, to be sure,
but it doesn't look much like one as revealed by
four years of havoc 1t looks though many
of our outstanding leaders merely had proved
their incapacty to make the wisest use OF priv
ege and power.
We are driven to institute more rigid system
Of regulation and control for the simple rea-
son that many of our outstanding leaders have
demonstrated the need of it, have convinced the
great majority of people that they can not be
trusted with unreStrained liberty.

i men of their responsibilities, but to remind
them of their duty and to see that they 40 it

If men had not failed in the fulfllment OF
their social obligations, had not revealed false
sense of value, had not shown an astounding
absence of foresight, had not succumbed so COM
pletely to the craze for wealth, regardless of how
it was accumulated or of the effect on general
conditions, nothing like the new deal would be
required
The restoration of social consciousness has
become imperative we are confronted with the

and no nation can be safe, just, or prosperous

one that will reconvert wealth, power, organ

Cause of Sleeping Sickness Is Puzzle

represent not only the private prac-
titioners, but also the United States
public health service and United
States army medical corps. They
have been able to some extent to re-
produce the condition in animals
through injecting portions Of the
brains of those affected by the
disease and who have died, into the
animals.
The public health AUTHORITIES have
not learned, however, just how the
disease is spread. There have been
the usual attempts to incriminate
food, milk, mosquitoes, flies and all
other commonly known means for
the spread of the disease. But none
of these has been established as the
true route of infection.
It Is quite possible that the chief
method of infection is by people who
have been affected slightly and be-
come we'll, and who then go about
distributing the disease to others.
Such people are called carriers of
infection.
1t is we'll recognized by epidemi-
ologists, who specialize in studying
the spread of disease, that it is Gus =
tomary for such conditions to dis
appear with the coming of cold
weather.

Whatever tactics DR.. OMAN
adopts to make the R. o. T. G. I'M
popular at De PAW university GER
tainly is cOmmendable to those who
still believe in American democracy.
The speech of the Hon. Rose A. Col
IYins of Mississippi, on Jan. 10, 1880
while he was a member of the sub
committee on appropriations han
ding the war department appropria-
lions bill certainly will be inter
esting to the average American
citizen.
Let me give a few quotations.
THE war department has published
an official manual Of citizenship
training IT. M. No. 2,000-25) for the
use of officers teaching young men
in the citizens military training
camps, the Reserve officers Train
ing Corps, etc.
Here is a typical paragraph from
this manual:
"The attempt to undermine the
nation from within is more serious
than the threat of armed force
without. An impractical and de-
structive internationalism is being
propagated by certain foreign agita-
tors and is being echoed and re-
echoed by many Of the nations in
tellectuals. It's efforts are to de-
stroy that spirit of nationaliSm
without which no people can long
endure.
Again he quotes from the manual:
Democracy government of the
masses. Authority derived through
mass meeting or any effort of "di-
rect expression, result in mobocraCy.
Attitude toward property is COM
munistic-negating property rights.
Attitude toward law is that the will
of the majority shall regulate,
whether it is based upon delibera-
ton or governed by passion, preju-
dice, and impulse, without restraint
or regard to consequences. Results
in demagogic, license, agitation, dis
content, anarchy
Is this the sort Of stuff" the war
department wants to teach the
American youth, as citizenship?
Can the war department explain
this?

opinion is that all women work
because they hate houseWOrk and
want to dress extensively, attend
night-clubs and drive the latest
model cars.
None of the above fit my case.
I am proud of my home and am
helping pay for it. We assumed
a contract to the bungalow we
now live in, in 1925. and ask any
one who purchased property at
that time what it could be sold
for now. At forced sale, doubt
if we could secure half of what
we have put into it. We have been
paying on our contract eight
years, have never missed a pay
ment; paid off $500 Barrett as
SeSSment, paid ever-1ncreaS1ng
taxes, improved the property by
painting, fencing and weather
stripping, but still pay TO interest
as we are unable to obtain a loan
to finance the balance and reduce
our interest. If we were renting,
could move into cheaper property,
but our contracted payments re-
main the same, and are about
double what we could secure as
rent for the property at present.
There is no mortgage.

Summer Song

There is no voice more eloquently
fair
Than the song Of summer,
Soft laughter in the lanquid air.
There are no hills
Furnished with ripping sun shadows.
AS reticent as these
Remote and singing rtlls.
I climb far heights
Touch the throat of dawn,
Recapture the shimmering breast
of spring,
And speak with many dark eyed
faun.
There is no wind stir on this
flower bed,
No vision more rending
Than rose petals shattered,

Htis. There is much more Of sud-
den infection Of the upper portion
of the brain with high fever, lasting
three to five or eight days. Most OF
these patients do not sleep as pro-
foundly as those with lethargic en-
cephalitis, but they are mentally
and physically sluggish and some
times delirious.
The doctor makes his diagnosis by
the symptoms and by changes that
take place in the spinal fluid, which
he examines early in the condition,
and also changes which take place
in the blood.
The condition resembles. in its
spread and in its manner of attack,
much more that form of infarnma-
ton called poliomyelitis or infantile
paralysis than it does the epidemic
encephalitis. Infantile paralysis, as
will be remembered, is limited in
its attack usually to the lower por-
ton of the spinal column, but does
not affect the upper and lower por-
lions of the brain in most in
stances.

IN Defense Of CndereZZn

~ = WV ~ OtIbOtti tJtJb
I HOLD that Cinderella fits very
4 neatly into MARKHAM theology.
Michael Gold is too literal. He is
against the poor girl because she
had the misfortune to marry q
capitalist and live happily ever
after. But Prince Charming himself
is only a symbol.
Let me give Mr.. Gold the proper
party attitude on the story. Gin
derella's stepmother is capitalism:
the two wicked sisters are the Re-
publican and Democratic parties
Prince Charming is the Union Of
Soviet Republics. The glass slip
per is the revolution. 1t fits Gin
derella perfectly. She puts 1t on
and escapes from drudgery and
ashes. What could be palmer?
Cinderella has always been
symbol Of escape from oppression. I
denounce Michael Gold as being
guilty Of right wing deviation.

Strike IN the Band

DUT though romance never was
ID banned wholly by those in
authority in Moscow. there seems
to be little doubt that literature and
life as we'll were somewhat touched
by an ascetic preocCupation. Until
recently dancing was discouraged,
and the fox trOt in particular was
frowned upon and attacked by high
officials in language not unlike that
which might be used by a confer
ence of Methodist ministers.
Now all this seems to be passing.
I have been reading new book on
Russia which soon is to be published
and the author makes quite point
of the fact that public dance halls
are being planned and that even the
fox trot has been brought back out
of exile.
Indeed. there is evidence that
Soviet leaders are beginning to
realize that even enthusiastic CO.
operators can reach point where
they can digest no further propa-
ganda. Or, at any rate, they do
not want it served with no SEM
blance at all Of salad dressing.
It seems to me that Russian prop
uganda has been exceedingly eff
fective in Russia and rather sur
prisingly ineffective in America But
there is a difficulty even about eff
fective propaganda. It works. 1t
wins converts, and presently the
wholly convinced individual meets
the fresh batch of leaflets with q
slight shade Of irritation. His atti-
tude is, you're telling me" I have
feeling that Communist propa-
ganda in America has mostly been
aimed at people who already be-
lieve in Communism.

In Darkest Africa

DEOPLE engaged in foreign mis-
Il sions often tend to become
more dogmatic than the home office.
Taking the fox trot as a symbol, I
am inclined to believe that it will
be danced more extensively in Mos
COW than in Union Square.
I hate to see my radical friends
cover too much territory in their
stern attitude toward myths and
symbols. For instance am dis
tressed to find that Michael Gold
has declared war upon Cinderella
in the name of the proletariat. That
is decidedly unfair. If anybody was
ever an authentic member of the
working class in good standing, that
girl was Cinderella.
I will grant that Mr.. Gold took
upon himself one of the toughest
Of assignments. He recently has be-
gun to serve as columnist for the
Daily Worker, and there is q GER
tain kinship between all Commun-
lists, class-angle as they may Each
one of us yearns to take an occa-
sional fling at giving advice to the
lovelorn. Michael Gold was tempted,
and he fell.
Julia NJ" working girl, wrote
to him to say that, while she was
interested in the revolution, she
must confess she had a secret
laundering to be like Marlene Die
trich. With patient tenderness Mr..
Gold has answered that Hollywood
is the creation of the bosses and
the Marlene Dietrich symbol must
be regarded by all workers as evil.
But then, getting into the swing Of
the thing, he proceeds to pitch into
poor Cinderella, who up to this
time had not figured in the argu-
ment.
Julia" he writes, you have been
corrupted by bourgeois America. g.
The Hollywood films mostly are
based upon the Cinderella theme.
1t is a lie, and it makes girls despise
their own working class brothers

It Seems
to Me
by HEYWOOD BROUN

NEW YORK, Sept. pa have
~ observed with interest dis
patch from Moscow which reads.
Russia has turned to love as q
theme for poetry and literature"
The report goes on to say that
the change is drastic. since hitherto
tractors. factories and the flve-year
plan served as the inevitable ma
terial for all proletarian writer's.
It seems to me that the reporter
in Russia has overstated his case q
little bit. I have read books by
Soviet authors in which the theme
of love figured extensively Indeed,
a few years ago there was quite
rush of novels built upon a plot
which once animated practically all
our own civil war plays. The Rus
sian writer's, however, gave 1t new
twist.
The American form Of the story
went something like this. A union
officer is serving as spy In Rich
mond. He falls in love with
southern girl. Eventually he has to
choose between the cause he serves
and the girl he loves. He chooses
the girl. The play ends happily
They do things differently in Rus
STA. A proletarian girl loves a mem
Der of the aristocracy. She must
choose between the man she loves
and the cause she serves. She
chooses the cause. The play ends
happily. And I must say that I pre-
fer the Soviet formula.

The heart had stopped beating when
the boy was placed on the operating
table" Dr. Koucky said.
Thirty seconds later the operation
would have been futile, he said. AS to
the number CT stitches, he said he knew
he took four to close the inch-long
wound. but that in his haste he may
have taken five.
Following the operation the heart was
massaged until it resumed its normal
beating In giving Garmissa IS per
chance to recover, Dr. koucky said the
greatest danger now lay in the posi-
bility of an infection developing.
The attack occurred as the youth
was walking home. His assailant fled.
