months that are now beginning"
The San Antonio Express declares
that every man who can do so should
help needy neighbors," and deplores the
trait, which it declares to be prevalent,
of relying upon the Government to
provide. "The immediate problem" in
the opinion of this paper, Is ito check
the tendency to lean upon the Gov
ernment-to arouse community and in
dividual alike to sense of their
responsibility. The Presidents plain
spoken warning should produce that
effect"
The Oshkosh Daily Northwestern
sees in the Presidents appeal for neigh
borliness an indication of the extent
to which he ''leans upon the American
spirit and courage for the success of
his national recovery program" and
the Hartford Daily Times echoes this
thought with the statement that ''it Is
in unSelfiSh cooperation, so new as to
be spoken of with confidence as revo-
lutionary, that the secret of success
must lie in Americas inspiring effort,
under President Roosevelt's leadership,
to found sounder, better and happier
regime
The Danbury Times calls at
tention to the fact that "the product
of ignorance and selfishness Is misery
in the midst Of plenty" while the Gin

Insults to the Flag.

The informative views Of speakers
before the National anti-crime confer
ence, meeting here under sponsorship
of the United States Flag Association,
and the startling facts relating to crime
which are receiving proper emphasis,
are of course valuable. Before people
70 to war they must have ammunition
and there must be plan Of strategy.
But possibly the most encouraging
thing about the conference is the fact
of its being held. When people become
so aroused to a menace that they
undertake the formal collaboration OF
effort and offer leadership to combat 1t
something, truly, has been won.
If the conference here is one indi-
cation that people are at last taking
seriously the conditions regarding
prevalence and results Of crime. the

Cotton Purchase.
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

French interests, represented by the
Partisan banking firm of Neidecker, are
in the market for 100000 bales of
American cotton, which will be pur-
chased II American governmental aid
in financing can be obtained. Any plan
that will take that number Of bales out
of the market is worth considering.
The wheat sales of Russia and cotton
sales to China are predicates for cot
ton sales to French interests through
American governmental aid. In the
Russian deal, approximately 100000
was loaned to an American export firm
for the purpose of financing export cot
ton On credit to Russia. The loan was
secured by notes of the Amtorg Cor
poration, the official Soviet trading
agency in the United States. The $50,-
100000 loan to the Chinese Govern
ment is secured by Chinese tax rev.
enues. It is being used only for the
purchase of wheat and cotton on the
American market.
Security offered either by the French
Government or by reputable French
interests would unquestionably be con-
sidered as good as that offered either
by Amtorg or by the Chinese Nation
alist Government. The Reconstruction
Finance Corporation has the power to
give the financial aid sought for the
purchase. Definite recognftions will get
under way this week. The American
cotton industry will earnestly hope that
they are successful.

nearby factory, and-most important Of
all-supplied with carefully selected
community. men have their greatest op-
portunity for the achievement Of mum
dane happiness, contentment and Sc
curity. In other words, the Federal
Government is supplying the ideal con-
ditions for which men, individually.
have striven from time immemorial to
supply for themselves. For selected
group of individuals the provision Of
these things by the Federal Govern
ment is entirely possible. So why the
need of demonstration at the expense
of other taxpayers-including many
who, in Washington, after many dill
gent years of serving the Government,
in their approaching old age must con-
tinue to battle the specter Of insecurity
in the name of budget balancing
economy?
It is possible, of course, that this
demonstration in West Virginia will be
one Of the first steps in the creation
of new civilization; a tardy attempt
to correct one Of the malignant growths
Of our social development which has
denied men the safeguarding protection
Of land ownership and made them COM
pletely dependent on jobs-which do
not always last. Such conception Of
the West Virginia experiment requires,
however, not a little imagination and
a great deal Of faith. That it will sue
ceed as an experiment there is little
doubt. That the results of the expert
ment can find practical application
not next year or in the next fifty years,
but IN some future as yet dim-is some
thing at least to be hoped for.

The Y. NJ. C. A. Drive.

The Washington Young Mems Chris
tian Association this week Is honoring
the memory of Sir George Williams by
conducting q campaign for new men,
bers He was the principal founder Of
the international fraternity which long
ago came to occupy most important
place in the worlds civilization and
now is taken for granted as one of the
constructive forces in the economy Of
society. A young clerk in a dry goods
establishment In London, he suggested
the meetings in the interests of social
and religious welfare out of which the
association developed. That was in
1874. and 1t will not be long before
it will be time to celebrate the organ
ization's centenary.
But despite all the multitudinous
changes which have occurred since the
associations beginning. the needs it
was designed to meet remain much the
same. In every town and city there
are numbers Of young men detached
from normal home conditions, living
in hotels or boarding houses, isolated
from friends, strangers in a strange
community. For mary Of these the
association spells salvation. not merely
in terms Of practical Christian doctrine.
but also in terms Of psychological ad-
justment. At the "Y" they find a GER
tain equivalent of home atmosphere
For nominal fee they may join the
fellowship and share the benefits which
the association affords, and both are
eminently worthwhile.
Washington to degree not exceeded
by any other American city appreciates
the associations value. Again and
again the people Of the Capital have
had occasion to be grateful for its
existence. With an enlarged member
ship it should play an even greater part
in the life of the District. Thoughtful
citizens will be glad of the privilege
Of aiding in the present campaign. It
is to be hoped that it will prove a con-
spicuous success.

President Roosevelt's address before
the Catholic Charities in New York Is
characterized by the press as both
timely and inspiring. The Chief Execu-
tive's call for spiritual courage met
with wide approval, as did his warning
that the way out of the depression will
be hard and long. Many papers feel
that particular emphasis should be
placed upon the Presidents appeal to
'neighbors" to supplement Federal re-
lief, lest private charity be regarded as
unnecessary in view of governmental
activity.
The Scranton Times believes that the
President not only caught the spirit of
the conference but that he added
something to that spirit" while
emphasizing the duty of the Govern
ment to care for the needy, unemployed
and dependent, he. at the same time,
made it plain" continues this paper,
that religious, private and community
charities and philanthropies must be
carried on"
That spiritual values count in the
long run more than material value"
is regarded by the Uniontown Herald
as ''the essential truth of the gather
community can afford to ignore in
these difficult hours" The Omaha
World Herald feels that these "uplift-
ing thoughts" are made more effective
because Mr.. Roosevelt has so thor
oughly demonstrated his own firm pur-
pose to serve as we must serve. Better
Americans all must be-" adds the same
paper, eff we can catch this feeling for
national unity; If we can avoid the
creation of rivalries and bitterness of
class and section; If we can recognize
our common stake in Government; If
we can find spiritual fervor and learn
the relative unimportance Of the ma
terial goal for life, and, finally, if we
can love justice, work as a team, be
ready to sacrifice and always be good
neighbors."
President Roosevelt's frankness in
telling the American people that the
battle has just begun is regarded by
freshing," while the Port Huron Times
Herald considers the statement "some-
thing to think about seriously" In
this connection the Lowell Evening
Leader points out that confidence has
been restored to an encouraging de-

persistence" The Springfield Union
characterizes as "timely' the Presi-
dents expression of his realization

and it should be helpful that the head

needs of community, State and Nation"
The Roanoke World-News calls the
Presidents vigorous" address "a timely
reminder of the necessity Of support Of

manner In which they were tried, con-
victed and sentenced in a brief space
of time are others. Senator Copeland
says that crime is costing the American
people more than twelve billion dollars
q year. Col. James A. Moss, president
general of the flag association, says that
$4,000 persons are murdered every year
1000 month, or one every forty-four
minutes. Three thousand persons are
kidnapped, 100000 assaulted. $4,000
robbed every year. The prevalence Of
crime is SO appalling. when thus repre-
sented and the problem of its preven-
ton so complex that it staggers
imagination.
Yet if it is admitted, ss many do,
that the development Of crime in this
country has been made possible by
tolerance and a failure to appreciate
its vicious and self-feeding potentiali-
ties, there is hope that intolerance Of
crime and a popular determination to
end its now commonplace manifesta-
tions will work the cure To this end
the practical example set by the Fed
eral Government in the pursuit and
capture Of the Urschel kidnapers is en-
couraging, and the meeting of the
national anti-crime conference is i'm
portant.
It is appropriate that the conference
is sponsored by the United States Flag
Association, an organization which
seeks to increase respect for the flag.
Under that flag every free citizen should
feel the comfort of safety, for his
person. for his property and for the
full expression Of his thoughts. Crime
has placed in jeopardy this security,
Haunting the flag which is its symbol.
Those who thus fguratively stamp
upon it must be brought to book. Those
things for which the American flag
stands must be preserved.

Demonstrating the Obvious?

Granting everything the Public Works

proposed "decentralized industry" dem

the picturesque legend that the farm
land acquired for the experiment,
once owned by Lord Fairfax, was sur

George washington. there is room for
the exercise of an amiable skepticdsm
regarding this new venture in sub
sidized utopianism.
The plan, as outlined, Is to select 200
families from the 100000 unemployed
Goa, miners, build $4,000 houses Tor
them on an eleven hundred-acre farm,
provide school, to serve also as COM
munity center; establish self-govern-
ing administration modelled after the
New England town meeting plan, build
a factory for the manufacture OF posi-
Office equipment in which the heads
of families will be gainfully employed
Each home owner will also have two to
four acres for gardening. fruit trees
poultry raising and production OF othel
foodstuffs.
The essential aim of this experiment
Is to measure "the possibilities OF de-
centralized industry in this country
where the evils Of overurbanizatior
have become all too evident in this de-
preston" The total cost is not esti'
mated, although it is explained that tn

People who do not 60 to the movies
might as well, because they have to
listen to the other members Of the
family tell all about it afterward.
One either goes ones self, and talks
about it later, or does not go and
listens to others talk about it.
The talk seems to be part OF the
thing, just as it was in old-fashioned
theatrical entertainments.
Maybe the fact that the stage Is
nine-tenths conversation, anyway, has
most to do with it.
The other plain fact is that human
beings like to talk about something they
have witnessed.
To go, to see, to listen-these are not
enough. The theatergoer wants to talk
about it afterward. II he can get
somebody who was there, too, SO much
the better; If not, he will be content
to tell any one all about it.
Perhaps there are some persons who
enjoy getting their theatrical fare at
secondhand but many do not. The
latter find the high points" of the
show, no matter what show, exceed
ingly tiresome.
"There was the funniest thing in the
show"
When we hear such line we know
we are in for it.
There is no escape and the only
thing to do Is to make the best Of it.
Interest must be feigned, Of course,
If one feels it not.
Courtesy Is something.
Politeness, indeed, is great deal,
even yet.
Most persons are willing to be polite
when 1t comes to listening to a recital
of this sort.
They do not feel that it is worth
offending another in regard to such a
human failing.
Listening. after all, is very easy.
The tiresome detailing of q plot is
the worst of all.
Nothing shows up a plot better than
the personal narrative Of one who by
no means is playwright.
Maybe the author could outline 1t so
that ordinary interest would be re-
tanned, but the average spectator Is not
able to put this punch" into it.
Ordinarily he founders around in his
attempt to tell what it was all about,
with the result that the listener man
ages to catch no spark OF genius In
the whole.
Yet this is the one thing, above all
others, that the average spectator wants
to do afterward.

He wants to tell the story, but that
is just what the stay-at-home does not
want to hear.
Here is plain conflict Of interests,
one which can never be resolved.
The story is the thing. with the play
goer. The more absurd the story the
more determined he seems to be to
make it logical
Perhaps he feels that his reputation
as good picker is at stake
Maybe he doubts the plot, in his
own mind, and is trying to convince
himself by attempting to convince you.
Listening is easy, we have said, but
some have a particular inability to
listen to this sort of chat.
The moment it is begun they feel a
curious Tightening in the chest, almost
physical symptom, which tends to
motivate the motor muscles of the legs.
They want to run, but they dare not.
What the other is saying is, after all,
only routine matter.
1t would be absurd to let it make
one flee.

Good News From Abroad.
From the Newark Evening News.


From many directions simultaneously
come encouraging reports of world wide
industrial improvement. The Interna-
tional Labor Office and the League of
Nations financial section have reported
a turn of the tide to the League As
sembly. Both of these organizations
have wide horizons and manifold sources
OF information. For the first time since
the beginning Of the depression, they
report, the nations as a whole show
improvement.
Alexander Loveday, director of the
Leagues financial section, sees in the
monthly trade returns for July from
49 countries, representing nine-tenths
OF world trade, evidence that the rapid
contraction of international trade has
been checked. The value of world
trade, he states. is greater than during
the corresponding period of the pre-
cedlng year, a statement which could
not have been made at any previous
time since the depression began. He
notes particularly increased Industrial
production in France, Germany, Japan
and Canada, confirming the recent cal
culations of German scientific insti-
tute which estimated the improvement
between June, 1882, and July, 1888, at
80 per cent.
The International Labor Office in its
quarterly statement for July, August
and September shows "a substantial
diminution in the number of unem-
ployed, particularly in Australia, Bel
gium. Canada, Chile, Denmark, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy,
Portugal and Rumania, with unemploy-
ment increasing only in Austria, Bull
garia, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia." /"
That the Eastern fragments of the
old Hapsburg Empire are trying to cope
with their problem Is indicated by re-
ports of an intensified move to bring
Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Ru-
mania closer together with Bulgaria.
The hand of Greece's veteran states
man, Venizelos, who brought the Bal
kan States together in 1912. is dis
cerned, and negotiations for closer COL
laboration are reported to include Tur-
key. New highs for Russian industry
ARE reported from Moscow, due, accord
ing to the Times Moscow correspond
ent, to the fact that "the Russians are
mastering heavy industry and machine
construction" Production is reported
to be approximating the Soviet pro-
gram, and q new campaign has been
launched to bring 1t fully up to that
program.
