Nobel Centenary.

In Sweden and elsewhere the cen
tenary of the birth of Alfred Bernard
Nobel is being celebrated, and the oc-
casion provides opportunity for further
consideration of the endowment of cul-
ture which he left. His own life al
ready has been evaluated to certain
degree of flnality, but review OF the
fruits of the labors Of his career IS
proper and timely.
His estate, product of his COM
mercial development of high explosives,
amounted to approximately nine million
dollars. The money was divided into
five equal foundations or funds. and
the interest from each, the testator
specified in his will, annually is to be
awarded to benefactors of mankind in
an equal number of fields Of enterprise.
One prize is assigned for "the most
important discovery or invention In the
domain of physics" one as similar
reward in chemistry, and one in
physiology or medicine. The Royal
Academy Of Science and the Caroline
Medical Chirurgica1 Institute, Stock
holm, are responsible for the selection
of the recipients, and their judgment
invariably has been supported by pub
Lie sentiment and approval.
The fourth prize, however, has been
the subject of considerable debate.
Nobel directed that 1t should be allotted
to that person "who shall have pro-
duced in the field of literature the most
distinguished work OF an idealistic
Evening star., 1933-12-21

tendency" and, the Swedish Academy
was given the task Of interpreting the
words distinguished" and "idealistic"
contradictory terms, in the opinion Of
some critics. Allen Upward, in his MEM
orable study. 1.-THE New Word" dis
cusses the problem from a score of dif-
ferent angles. The difficulty, 1t seems,
has been that of granting the award
to those still young and active enough
to use it effectively. In too many in
stances 1t has gone to individuals so
far advanced into the sunset period Of
life as to be incapable of benefiting
by the gift. The question still remains
unanswered as to how the academy may
render the fund true endowment Of
literature, not merely a last-minute
accolade for careers nearly done.
And the fifth prize, intended for that
individual "who shall have most or best
promoted the fraternity of nations, the
abolishment or diminution of standing
armies and the formation and increase
of peace congresses" likewise has been
the theme of universal inquiry and
argument. The Norwegian Storthing,
however, has been wisely advised, and
there has been little complaint against
its policies. But that does not signify
that the gift always has been an effec-
tive endowment of the forces making
for international amity. To illustrate,
the award to Aristide BRAND came at
moment when he was passing from
the scene-his work, largely if not en-
tirely, was completed. Perhaps, in such
circumstances, the money should go to
institutions rather than to individuals.
At least three precedents exist for dis
posing of it in that manner.
The point is that Nobel surely meant
his endowments to be a source of
energy, not merely an honorable ac-
acknowledgement of merit. If his purpose
is to be efficiently served, that fact must
be borne in mind by all parties con-
cerned.

to rent it for any length Of time. And
in the meantime, while awaiting the
eventual purchase Of the property, bud-
ness moves in other directions; the
area undergoes a process Of slow de-
preciaticn; the property cannot be
sold-yet tax assessments are slow to
fall. The fortunate property owner
might build somewhere else. But there
are few so fortunate as to be able to
make new investments without realizing
on the older ones.
This condition should be remedied.
Land slated for acquisition should be
bought by the Government, and not
permitted to feel the blight of uncer-
tainty and delay. There should be re-
lief for the property owners whose only
fault has been to have holdings within
an area slated for eventual Government
development. Some of them, of course,
would like to hold up the Govern
ment for the highest prices possible.
But the petition to the President yes
terday stated that the property holders
are willing to sell at reasonable prices "

tention to a class of forgotten men"
in Washington.
Under the Keyes-Elliot Government
building bill, which passed Congress
some years ago, large area in the VI
cinity Of the Capitol was authorized for
purchase. Stoppage of the building
program halted the purchases. But the
Governments plans are still on paper.
There are maps in existence to show
the areas the Government plans To buy
some day-the purchase of which has
already been authorized by Congress.
Picture the owners Of some of this
propertyl They live In annual expecta-
ton that the next Congress will carry
out its intentions. But the Govern
nent's plans preclude normal property
development for other uses. Nobody
wants to buy the property, improve it
for commercial or residential use. and
then be forced to sell it. No one cares

Treasury Statement
Supports Initiation
To the Editor OF The Star.

~ tHe Eu4tOI Oh Inc star.
The circulation statement of the
United States Treasury issued October
81 is necessary If one desires to talk or
write intelligently about the money
question. The contention there should
be imitation seems to be borne out by
this statement. 1t shows that on Oc-
ober 81, 1888, the per capita circulation
was S4473, whereas thirteen years previ-
ously, on October 81, 1920, it was S5321.
The entire amount of gold coin and
bullion is ,323,136,335. The entire
amount of standard silver dollars or
their representative silver certificates
is a paltry half billion
The writer contends If there is to be
imitation it should come by way of
silver and that our huge gold reserves
can easily carry an additional three
billions of silver. This silver might be
obtained from war debts, the debtors
bidding in the open market for the
metal and thereby enhancing its price.
While there are many remote causes
OF the depression, such as war debts,
overproduction, underconsumption, ex-
travagance, etc., the writer has firmly
believed the immediate cause was the
dumping of India's silver five or six
years ago in order to place that country
On the gOlQ standard.
The notion that free coinage of silver
at sixteen to one would work without in
ternational agreement is fallacious. The
Gresham monetary law says silver would
drive all our gold out of the country
when we return to the gold standard.
This return should be our goal.
Students Of world affairs know that
silver should be rehabilitated, for it
would restore the purchasing power of
the stores of silver savings in Mexico,
Central and South America and in
Oriental countries, thus bringing COM
merce back to the seven seas.
Japan was quick to take advantage
of cheap silver. Textile factories were
built in China, where there is cheap
labor. These factories are exporting
socks to Manchester and London to be
sold at three cents pair. Cotton gar
r1ents are made for less than half the
cost Of manufacture in this country or
England. If this thing keeps up one
wonders if the Orient may not some day
dominate the Occident.

Sees America Coming
Out of the Depression
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
With all due respect to the admin
istration's efforts to lift us out Of
our slough of despond," it seems that
we are making very little progress. We
are building on sand and not solid
rock. The c. w. A, the P. w. A. and
the R. F. C. are piling up debts and
deficits faster than the Office clerks can
tabulate them on the adding machines.
We seem to be trying to lift ourselves
over the fence by our own bootstraps.
The world is moving just a little
faster than We humans are. Our farm
ers are trying to produce the same
crops they did 20 years ago, before trans
portation was motorized. Our railroads
are using the same methods they had
before truck and bus competition came.
The Secretary of Agriculture thinks that
If We retire 20 per cent of the wheat
acreage from production we would have
20 per cent less wheat. But how about
the unknown factor? The weather?
Which came first, low prices or un-
employment? Has not the machine
gradually been replacing manpower over
the last decade? Are we facing an era
of darkness of continued unemployment

taxed many things, even the dire neces-
stiles of life, but we have failed to tax
the machine. If a steam shovel does
the work of 100 men worth $3.50 per
day. why should not the shovel be taxed
$3.50 for each day it is in operation?
This could be applied throughout indus
try with the possible exception of power.
And this would automatically create a
demand for labor, and our crop surplus
would disappear overnight.
There would still be the problem of
distribution. In most all products it
costs much more to distribute to the
consumer than it does to produce. This
Is our field for study.
America is going forward, and she is
not going communistic. Every Ameri-
can Will have to readjust himself. Let
us thank Providence that we have a
man at the helm who keeps level head.
And under such leadership the dark
ness Is breaking. BRUCE MCDONALD.

Deserved Recognition.

The President has gracefully ex-
pressed his appreciation of the "splen-
did service" of the Government en-
ployeS during the past months of
feverish activity by combining his
citation with the tangible and most
acceptable gift of two full Saturday
holidays before Christmas and before
New Year day.
His praises of the Government per-
sonnel have been well deserved, for
the Government establishment has been
going at top speed since the day he took
over control, placing employees under
a constant strain. The knowledge that
their response to the call Of duty has
not gone unrecognized by the President
is source of pleasant qualification.
AS Christmas and New Year day fall
on Monday, the full day of on Saturday
next will be used not only for recrea-
ton, but in taking care of those scores
of last-minute afterthoughts that are

the matter. the Charleston Evening Post
argues: The Civil Works Administra-
ton reports that 100000 men have
been put on the pay roll of that Or
ganization, precisely the number aimed
at for employment on the Governments
projects by this date. The greater
number of these have been brought over
from the relief rolls, but there are still
100000 on those lists. The differ
ence between the relief agencies and
the Civil Works Administration is, OF
course. very real in so far as the
individuals are concerned, since, in the
one case there is a sense of dependence
on charity and in the other feeling
OF earning a return for useful labor.
But in so far as the source of funds
is concerned there is no marked differ
ence; the money to pay for those en-
ployed on civil works-and for those
on the relief rolls comes alike and en-
tirely from the United States Treasury,
which means from the taxpayers of the
Nation"
