JOBS-THE BEST CURE FOR
NATIONS UNREST -.
CBy BRUCE CATTON)

Sherwood Anderson, novelist, has put IN
most of this year wandering around Amer
lea, talking to city people, country people,
men in breadlines, hitch-hikers and every
body else he could get hold of, trying to
find out if there is any sign of a revolution
in this country.
He reports now, in The American Spec
tator, that there is not. And in explaining
why there is not he touches on a point
that most radical writers miss entirely.
The situation in America, he points out,
is entirely different from the situation
overseas. The people are different, the
country is different, the tradition is differ
ent.
Our great age was a building age. We
built cities, railroads, factories, machines
we cut down forests, damned up rivers,
tunneled through mountains, dug ore out
of the earth. We did not worry about the
cries of economies; there was a lot OF
work to do and we went at it feverishly,
content to tackle the job at hand.
And today, says Mr.. Anderson, the job
less millions are not talking about the
decline of capitalism" about socialism OF
communism, Marxism or any other ism.
Instead, he says, they are simply saying
Give us work! Give us work! 1t is this
damned standing still here, doing nothing,
that is taking the heart out of u.s."
Now there is an abundance of work to
be done. There is, as Mr.. Anderson points
out, enough work left in America to keep
the nation busy for thousand years to
come. What is needed now, he asserts, is
IAN end to all the talk of our failure as a
people, and new talk of what is to be
DONE"
Both the radical theorist looking hope
fully for a spread of Marxism and the. die
hard Tory quaking in his boots lest the
deluge break over him miss the point COM
pletely.
The chief sufferers from the depression
are not in the mood to smash things. They
aren't looking ahead to riots, military rule,
a dictatorship of the proletariat and so on.
They simply want to go back to work. The
jobs are there, potentially; houses to be
built, railroads to be rehabilitated, facto-
ries to be overhauled, farms to be put in
order. timber to be cut, canals to be dug,
water-power to be harnessed.
1t ought not to be such an impossible
Job to get the wheels moving.

resented. I could not play games on
Sunday; had to sit on the uncomfort-
able small seat in my grandmother's
large Victoria and drive five miles to
and from church; had special books
which was only allowed to read on Sun
days, and could not read the story in
which might happen to be interested.
But really enjoyed learning the Bible
verses and the hymns, which always had
to be memorized for Sunday morning,
and I have never to this day quite got
over the real pleasure of singing hymns
on Sunday evening, after supper, as a
family.
These were very agreeable things and
besides your elders had more time to talk
to you. They even took little people for
very pleasant walks on Sunday afternoon
and in the Winter can remember open
fires and books read aloud, which to this
day carry me back to happy atmos-
phere.
But this religious training was not just
an affair of Sundays-there were family
with the feeling that you had share
in some great spiritual existence beyond
the everyday round.
Many of us have seen changes in re-
ligious thought since then, and God and
religion may have come to mean many
different things to many people, but
doubt if any of us have ever completely
lost that feeling Of having something
outside of ones self and greater than
ones self to depend on.
There never has been time when that
feeling is more needed that it is today.
People in trouble need just what little
children need-a sense of security,
sense of something greater than their
own powers to turn to and depend on.
The worst thing that has come to US
from the depression is fear. Fear Of an
uncertain future, fear of not being able

to meet our problems, fear Of not being
equipped to cope with life as we live it
today. We need some of the old religious
spirit which said, II myself am weak, but
Thou art strong, o Lord"
That was the spirit which brought
people to this country, which settled it,
which carried men and women through
untold hardships, and which has given
us our heritage of comparative ease and
comfort
MFTER left home and went to school
~ I came under the influence Of a
very interesting woman who proclaimed
that she had no religion and that the
Christians, from her point Of view, were
rather to be looked down upon because
they did right for gain.
It might not be gain in this world, but
it was for gain in the next and, there
fore the only people Of real virtue were
those who believed that there was no
future life, but who wished to help those
around them to do what was right purely
through an interest in their fellow
human beings and desire 10 see right
triumph just because it was right.
Twas too young to come back then with
the obvious retort that making those
around you happy makes you happy
yourself, and that therefore you are
seeking reward just as much as if you
were asking for your reward in a future
life, and that perhaps what we know as
good in life and what we think of as
praise-worthy will not be counted at all
as really genuine spiritual achievement
by some more understanding Judge.
That is why we all Of us, whether we
are willing to acknowledge it or not, do
crave the belief in some power greater
than ourselves and beyond our under
standing-becausew we know in our hearts
that deeds and outward things mean
little and that only, come one who can

gauge what striving there has been can
really judge of what a human soul has
achieved.
Today am an EpiScOpalian, as I was
as child, but feel that this makes me
neither better nor worse than those who
belong to any other church. I believe in
the habits of regular church-going and
regular work for the church because
there is help for us all in doing things
in common and we care more for things
that we give to, of our time, of our mate
rial wealth, and of our thought.
But these are the outward symbols
which should proclaim inner growth, and
it is the inner growth which is important.
If people can attain it without the help
of what might be called religious routine,
that is for them to decide.
The fundamental, vital thing which
must be alive in each human conscious
ness is the religious teaching that we
cannot live for ourselves alone and that
as long as we are here on this earth we
are all Of us brothers, regardless of race,
creed, color or any other circumstance.
We must honestly try to put into prac-
tice some of the things which have
always been considered too visionary to
be actually tried in everyday life.
We cannot give lip service alone to re-
Hgion today. We hear constantly that
prosperity will soon return, that this or
that will bring about better business con-
ditions, but we know of many people
who have gone down under the strain
of material loss and misfortune.
mHE increasing number of suicides
" makes us realize that many people
are feeling that life is too hard to cope
with. That feeling would not exist If out
of this depression we could revive again
any actual understanding Of what it
means for human beings to be RESPONSE
BILE for their brothers.
Perhaps the parable Of the rich man
fits today very admirably, only we are
not allowed to voluntarily place ourselves
in his position.
It is neatly done for us and our part
is simply to see that we learn our lesson
Alright and that we profit by it, and that
instead of sinking under the weight of
fear we find our souls strengthened by
the knowledge that we are part of some
great scheme and that our courage
springs up from deep wells of tradition,
for our forefathers knew that there was
a God who gave us strength and who
ordered the world in which we live, but
that we had to put forth our own
strength to the utmost before our spirits
could be upheld.
Out of these troublous times perhaps
this knowledge will come back to us, and
il it does new day may really dawn for
us all. Failure, however, must cease to
mean material loss; it Is the way we
meet adversely, not adversely itself,
which counts.
II we have life and love and health

Mt is generally conceded that in
2 world where material values seem
III to be dropping out of sight further
and further day by day, there is
growing realization that something else
Is needed.
Some of us even feel that amid the
many evils and sorrows and injustices
which are the fruit of what we call the
depression there may be emerging one
thing which will be of permanent value
to us all-namely, a new standard
which will set above everything else Ger
tain spiritual values.
In our mad haste for more and more
money and more and more luxury we
had almost forgotten to count these as
part of our heritage in this country.
And yet most of us who are in the
40S and Sos today can look back to
childhood where religion and religious
instruction were part of our everyday
life, but we have come so far away from
those days that in writing this article I
even feel that I must begin by defining
what mean by religion.
To me religion has nothing to do with
any specific creed or dogma.
It means that belief and faith in the
heart of a man which makes him try to
live his life according to the highest
standard which he is able to visualize.
mo those of us who were brought up
W as Christians that standard is the
life of Christ, and it matters very little
whether our creed is Catholic or
Protestant.
To those of us who happen to have
been born and brought up under other
skies or in other creeds, the object to
be attained goes by some other name,
but in all cases the thing which counts
is the striving of the human soul to
achieve spiritually the best that it is
capable of and to care unSeldshly not
only for personal good but for the good
of all those who toll with them upon the
earth.
Having established this as the mean
ing of religion, can go back and speak
for a moment of what most Of us with
Anglo-Saxon forbears remember as re-
ngious training in our youth.
Sunday was indeed, a day set apart
from other days and some of the things

On more than one occasion

GENEVA, June 8 G.N.S).-The
United States and Japan clashed
sharply today after the general
commission of the Disarmament
Conference had adopted the Brit
ish disarmament plan, recom-
mended by President Roosevelt
as the basis for an arms limita-
ton treaty.
Naotake Sato, Japanese delea
gate, demanded abolition of air.
craft carriers if air bombing is
to be put under international ban,
declaring:
Japan cannot sacrifice GER
tain particular points of view
relating to her security for the
sake of a general agreement
here unless the general agree
ment takes into consideration
Japan's particular needs"
WILSON SEES SNAG
Hugh Wilson, American Minis
ter to Switzerland, protested that
the Japanese objections would
greatly delay the work Of the
conference, already in session for
nearly 18 months.
Wilson said Sato's declaration
was likely to becloud the entire
British plan by joining aerial
bombardment with aircraft car
riers. Aerial bombardment, Will
son insisted, is distinctly a land
operation.
The British plan was approved
eleventh-hour opposition by
by the commission in spite Of
France, whose delegates insisted
there was little difference in ac-
cepting the plan as a basis for
discussion or a. a basis for &C
tual agreement.
Arthur Henderson, chairman,
explained the commissions de-
cision would have "a most ima
portant effect" on the world eco-
nomic conference. The French
t'ien accepted, but reserved rights
on all French reservations.
Japan's Air Fears
The Japanese viewpoint was set
forth by Sato thus:
Japan is composed Of .
series of islands, which makes
it impossible for us to protect
certain indispensable inStitu-
tiOns from aerial attack.
"We are extremely vulnerable
and completely exposed to air
attacks from the sea-
"Our only means of defense
is the aerial counter-attack.
Therefore we cannot accept
abolition Of air bOmbardment
but will agree to prohibit bonn
bardment of civilian popuIa-
tionS."
