Those Hostile RO0ters
~ONSOLATION was ofel

TONSOLATION was offered TO
~ the American losers in the
form Of statements that they had
to play in face Of the fact that the
crowd obviously favored the other
side. That certainly is likely and
1t may be that getting off the gold
standard had something TO DO with
it. And Vines, We will all admit
should hardly be held responsible
for that.
But there is just the bare posi-
bility that the French fans may
have been a little miffed At the
singular conduct Of some Of our
tennis stars before the Davis Cup
contingent arrived. One Of our
young men. upon being defeated in
tournament. hoped an ocean
liner bearing nothing with him but

An unpleasant echo OF the bank mora
forum was heard in indianapolis Tues
day. 1t was just an echo-nothing more. The
Aetna Trust and Savings Company finally
closed its doors after operating for months
on a restricted basis.
Tepositors who had their money in the
institution prior to the bank holiday will not
have been liquidsted But they could not
draw it out while the bank was open so they
are no worse off than they were before.
Those who made deposits after the mora
will be put to the inconvenience of seeking
new banking connections. That is all.
So far as the Aetna situation is concerned,
no one need have any anxiety II can be marked
down as one inning with no hits no runs no
errors, in the winning game Indianapolis is
playing with the forces of depression Because
the institution was restricted and therefore
isolated from the other banks of the commu-
nifty its closing will have no effect on the
city's general business life. The Aetna never
did really reopen.
Its officers made a courageous attempt to
get it back on its feet after the moratorium.
The fact that they were unable to do so has
earned them sympathy.
They deserve commentator for their wise
decision to protect the depositors by the liqui-
dation route since the struggle to make the
bank once more a going concern was doomed
to failure.

CLEAN UP THE RIVERS

THE unspeakable pollution of the states
streams will not be permitted to continue
unchallenged. The Indiana Sportsmen. Inc,
an organization of men who love the simple,
natural beauties of their state, is going into
action. II has announced that it will bring
pressure to bear on municipalities to make
them stop pouring filth into the rivers which
have made Indiana famous in song through
out the world.
That is excellent. They deserve the support
of every right minded individual. But there
are two other classes of polluters who are just
as big offenders as the cities The first Of
these is the home owner. He usually is care
less about sanitary conditions because he does
not know any better. He should be educated.
Far worse, however is industry Industry is
not ignorant of the consequences of pollu-
ton 1t simply does not care. During the
past three decades the United States has had
an amazing industrial development. Commu-
mites We'd with each other to get factories,
often giving them tax free property and paying
their moving expenses to capture them.
1t is not surprising that industry became
arrogant When any one dared point to the
streams it was poluting or the foul smells
it was emitting, it merely mentioned the size
of its weekly pay roll as an excuse.
Those days now are gone forever Cities
have all they can do to pay their policemen
firemen and teachers without substituting
factories Industry is very necessary thing,
but it must learn to be a good neighbor.
If the community forbids the individual to
raise hogs in the residential district it also
should force factories to cease pouring
nauseous messes into the streams The waters
of Indiana belong TO all the people for fish
ing and swimming They are not the private
property Of industry.
1t is to be hoped that the Indiana sports
men will not overlook industries and individ-
uals in their campaign to clean up the rivers

But I never have stopped TO rest.

however, the result of their efforts is less con-
vncing. Quarresomeness either has prevented
or offset the benefits of their work.
Historians of the future will find it necessary
to write that this period of creative genius and
idealiStic dreams was interrupted by the great
est war on record that for no logical reason, civ
ilizaton laid aside its more wholesome enter
prises to engage in wholesale murder and de-
struction.
Apparently men have done a far better job
in making life safe for their artificial agencies,
systems and machines than in making these
things safe for life.
ITO an obvious extent men have become
IL slaves of their own creations. whether in the
field of materiasm in the field Of theory.
The sacrifices they are willing to make in the
interest of gadgets. plans. or possessions stand
out in sharp contrast to the little they ready
to do for each other.
Sixteen years ago We Americans found it
comparatively easy to raise thirty billion dollars
for war Not only that but we gladly exposed
ourselves to hardships and prlvatlons OF every
description.
The verve and enthusiasm which characterized
the marshaling of this country's resources and
man power in 1917 furnished a curious back
ground to its lack of energy in meeting the
ravages of depression.
Is it possible that we found the idea of killing
Europeans more intriguing than that Of help
ing Americans? Is it possible that, in spite OF
all the preaching and teaching, We still regard
the victories Of war as more important than the
victories of peace?
EVEN with war out of the picture. we seem
T. inclined TO minimize the factor of violence.
The things we are doing to improve business

America and Darts Cup

DUT mostly I want to complain
- about the manner in which the
Davis Cup matches we're described.
In the first place. almost every
American tennis reviewer began
with the arrogant assumption that
of course We would be in the finals.
All the discussion ran as to how
Vines would do against COchet and
our doubles team against Borotra
and Brugnon. Scarcely a single
commentator took the wise and
mannerly precaution of mentioning
the fact that we might be beaten
somewhere this side of the last act.
And when the English took all four
singles matches there was much ex-
planning to be done.
Now this might have taken the
plain and simple form of admitting
that Austin and Perry played ex-
ceedingly well. But that was not
the way it was done Instead there
were long columns about the mis-
takes of judgment of the American
captain. All our players were
crippled, stale. invalided and out of
form. Again and again mention
was MADE of the fact that the sur
face of the French courts was not
pleasing to our participants VINO
play most of their matches at home
on turf. Bat so do the English, so
why bring that up?
Vines tainted in the fifth set
when Perry was at match point.
That made default necessary. But
Perry hardly can be blamed for
that, nor is it true that anybody
who faintS after five gruelling sets
on a hot day necessarily must have
started in drawn and haggard
condition. After all Perry tainted
in the locker room after his bril-
liant victory over Cochet and, in all
probability he never played better
in his life.
