DEPRESSION CAN'T CURE SELF

DEPRESSION CAN'T CURE SELF
TINE American people are being given the
chance this summer to make one Of the
most colossal mistakes imaginable
Business is reviving more rapidly than we
had thought possible. Factory chimneys are
smoking again, trains are moving, men are
going back to work: and the very speed with
which all this is happening carries with it
danger which is very real, even If it is not
obvious
Our chance to make mistake lies simply
in this: Because things are picking us so
rapidly, we may conclude that the alterations
which have been outlined for our inherited
s economic framework are unnecessary.
We may in other words, delude ourselves
into thinking that the normal processes Of
business recovery will put people back to work,
restore buying power, and bring back pros
perity unaided
According to the classical theories of eco
Monies, that is precisely what ought to happen.
But already it is becoming evident that unless
cur industrial machine Is held under strict
and intelligent control we merely shall be
gathering momentum for new plunge into
the ditch
And one more plunge would just about
finish the machine, and its riders as we'll.
The successful working of our traditional
system depends entirely on the impetus sup
piled by the profit motive. In the last few
weeks the profit motive has impelled industry
to adopt certain tactics which inevitably
must betray any recovery which is made.
Retail prices are rising faster than wages
Production is outstripping employment Manu-
facturers are hurrying to pile up surplus stores
Of goods before high wages go into effect.
The diehards are preparing to fight or
gained labor. The business pickup has caused
certain industries to grow cold on the indus
trial control plan.
Now these developments do not indict the
individuals responsible; they indict the tradi-
tioAlal economic system under which these
individuals have to operate They reveal in
it flaws which must be fatal unless they are
corrected.
- If we let ourselves be persuaded that the
depression is going to end automatically, so
that these correctives are not needed, we shall
have nothing but trouble
We need to remember every minute that
the dawning recovery can not be permanent or
healthy unless very real restraint is put upon
the scramble for profits

petual quest for the unattainable is
the most moving, albeit the most
pathetic, trait that distinguishes us.
The very preciousness Of love de-
rives from its evanescence. It's fra
gility enhances its value and it has
become mans most potent desire.
because it so rarely is encountered
or experienced.
Each Of us is a Ponce de Leon OF
the spirit. hunting for his mythical
fountain. A little absurd, perhaps
in his failures, but glorious in his
questing. Let us gaze upon our
selves and know the truth.
Though poor and pitiful in many
ways, We are mighty in our striv-
ings, and our greatest striving is
after Jove-the one thing, the only
thing, whose lack makes life unen-
durable

THE perfect love match Of Mary
Il Pickford and Douglas Fair
banks has ended. 'Why?" Thousands
Of romantic women will cry the
question.
There may be several reasons,
but probably the main one Is that
there's no such thing as perfect
enduring human love and never will
be. Tt is to be hoped that the
movie-mad sentimentahsts will profit
by this particular marital disaster
sad as it is. 1t conveys to us a
much needed life lesson.
Love, like all other things, is sub
ject to change. 1t is not fixed,
irrevocable state. but sort of build
ing process which never is quite
finished. Romance may flower alone,
but it takes constant care to keep
it alive so that it may develop into
the blossom Of steady devotion.

RECESS THE CONFERENCE

Nov that the world economic conference
has become little more than a face-sav"
ing enterprise, the American delegation seems
to be making matters no better by remaining
in London
The heads of several major delegations, in
Guiding the French and Italian, have gone
home. The conference has no real life left
in it,
Apparently the only excuse for keeping the
body around after the spirit has fled is that
no one wants to be blamed for killing it. That
excuse is not necessary. No one nation is to
blame for killing the conference.
The conference should not have been held
When it opened this newspaper and others
pointed out that its chances of success were
almost nil.
Certainly there was and is enough world
economic chaos to justify the nations trying
to get together But it was clear in the spring
that, however great the incentive, the nations
were not in any sense prepared to negotiate
their economic disputes.
They were not ready and still are not ready
to sacrifice their partisan positions. Under
such circumstances, the lmelight and the bal
lyhoo of world conference only increases the
friction.
President Roosevelt says that an increased
price level at home and abroad is the i'm
portant immediate job Therefore, obviously
the Washington government is not at the mo-
ment free to conduct serious international ne
gotiations. but must concentrate at home.
If the President wants other nations to fol-
low his example of public works, higher wages
and shorter hours, and imitation obviously
that can not be achieved at London, but is
job for each government to attempt at home
The United States not being ready to ne
gotiate on the major international problems
of tariff reduction, war debts and monetary
sterilization, it would be sensible to recess the
conference for a few weeks or months.

BY a Sincere Times Reader.
There appears to be a changed
disposition and attitude on the part
of proponents of the New Deal as
regards certain remarks made re-
Gently concerning speculation in
stocks and bonds. This is indeed
alarming to the writer, as the
Democrats raised a great deal of
ballyhoo concerning speculation. AS
we recall, they contended that spec
ulation in stocks and bonds was
mainly responsible for our present
depression. We are at present fac
ing another artificial and buoyant
boom in speculative issues.
There is more unwarranted ma
nipulation in stocks than ever be-
fore, if we consider the present
status Of our economic system. Dis
tresSing factors are looming and it
seems to me that if we are to enjoy
a change and new deal, some
thing should be done to check and
regulate the unwarranted rise in
stocks.
What have the hackers of the New
Deal done about speculation? AS I
see it, very little. Certainly, the
present prices of stocks are dis
counting earnings for years to come
1t is my suggestion that the laborer
come in for more wages and our
nonproductive stockholders be salts
fed with a reasonable return on
their investment.
1t will be great victory for the
Democratic party to check specula-
ton and seek ways and means of
placing the barometer of future
American activities in some medium
other than the corrupt and para
sitical Wall street exchange. Why
not have a governmental regulated
exchange, which would, I am sure,
remedy many of our present ills.

In all the talk about the New Deal
and how this country may be
brought back to prosperity and sane
living, I haven't heard one big fac
tor mentioned.
This might be described as the
ola ldea OF keeping up With the
Joneses.' I think this had more to
do with this country's fall and is a
bigger clog on recovery than any
thing else that could be imagined.

buying power must be restored and
that people must spend money if

I am also fearful that Washington
may take up the point about how
many times a columnist may use
the same column.
1 think that after two years have
passed the game law is off and that
it may be reprinted even without
acknowledgements. General johnson
may disagree. He may argue that
all codes are designed to promote
more jobs and that the columnist
who has nothing to say should stand
aside and give another fellow a
chance.

heavily on me. I doubt that I could

t will not help at all to say that
4 Broadway columnists constitute
a separate sect and should have
their own organization. They are
quite incapable of cooperation. In
deed, the average Broadway colum-
mist exists chiefly by throwing mud
at his competitors washing.
And even if it were agreed that
the columnists' code should not
apply to the Broadway boys, but
only to all others, definition still
would be difficult. Once upon a
time, and perhaps it was the Golden
Age, a newspaper was concerned
only with reporters and editorial
writer's. The reporter went out TO
ascertain what had happened in the
world and submitted his factuaI re-
port.
The editorial writer took these
happenings and proceeded to say
whether he approved or diSapproved.

And naturally there were certain
things, like floods, tornadoes. cv-
clones and such, concerning which
no difference of opinion was pos
Sible. The entire press united in
these circumstances to deplore the
sad events.
Jack Sharkey, former heavyweight
boxing champion of the world, was
talking in public just the other night
about the condition of modern Jour

Sharkey spoke shrewdly. Although

Columbus and C0Iunlnists

PERSONALLY I like the new way
a better. I think that many ring
battles have been decided by a state
Of mind, and I welcome the new
kingdoms which have been opened
up by the new explorers. But if we
columnistS, sporting or otherwise,
are to come together to adopt a
code for Washingtons approval, I
think we may have to cede certain
Of our privileges.
Under the new deal I feel that
most OF our prejudices must 90 by
the boards. On many occasions it
has seemed to me that various we'll
known professionals have been han
died harShly by the commentators.
And when 1 have asked the reason,
the frank reply often has been,
I've never liked the so-and-So."
1t is, Of course, convenient to have
a daily shot at space in which you
may pay off people who, for one
reason or another, are distasteful
to you. But I believe that this will
not be allowed under the code.
l am afraid that under the new
dispensation we all must sacrifice
something of individuality in an eff
fort to be little fairer. I speak
of this factor with vast regret. No
one will suffer under the obligations
to be scrupulous more than I.
In fact, If the code is almost on
us I probably shall take two weeks
Of having a final fling at all who
lie within the range of my whims
and prejudices. In fact, it will be
very tough and maybe little dull
to be fair all around.

IT'S NOT ALL ROSY

Viewing the concessions made to labor under the MIRA codes, it might be supposed that William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, is one of the happiest 'men in the country today.
 The new regime means a prom ise of higher wages, shorter hours, no more child labor, union recog- milton in fields such as the soft coal industry, where there has been nothing but antagonism to unions heretofore.
 Yet to MT. Green it is not all as simple and sweet as that.
 He thinks the qualification in serted in the automobile code. permitting employers to hire, and fire without regard for the unions, an unfortunate discrimination. He accepted it under pressure after he had been told that General Johnson, on his trip to Detroit, had made a commitment.
 He and other labor leaders are concerned too, over the possibil- ity that what has been done will not be accepted fully by the coal fields, and that trouble and disor- der will follow.
