Britisher Holds Up Look ing Glass = Life in

By JOHN sELBY

NEW YORK, June "A com paratively fixed routine has come to be followed by British writers in America, one that leads by way of social contacts, the lecture plat form and publishers suggestion to the production of a book of im- pressions. And the books have generally fallen into one or two duly definite patterns.
 L. P. Jacks book does not. My American Friends" is a book to rank with Andre Siegfried's. Jacks would have foreigners judge Amer ica not by it's present position, but by its direction.
 He finds us prone to self-analy- sis, and far from young people. He thinks we live indoors, ventur- ing abroad even in closed cars. H. understands our standardization y understands the migration to Cali fornia, and the apparent independ- ence of our children.
 Probably this is the crux of a book that could be read profitably by our British brethren as well as ourselves: .. the Americans mentality is one of there as distinct from here Ghis) inter- ests lie some distance ahead of where he actually is at the mo- ment. This, it may be said, is a common human characteristic. I agree; but according to (the Amer ican) philosophy the reason we are always chasing our blessings and failing to capture them is that we don't chase them fast enough"

a fire engine-only the engineers
who designed it and the workmen
who made it, do. What. you see are
the non-essentials-stee and brass
and wood and paint. The innate
values of the product are forever in
visible. They are endless, t%ireless
efforts to make the machine bet
ter, stronger, more durable, more
efficient-a finer and surer weapon
in the war against fire.
1t is that which has put the
standard maker in a class by them
selves. Other makers could doubt
less use equally expensive materials.
Even those who assemble engines
could buy the best parts and have
them properly put together. And
the finished engine would look we'll.
1t would, for a time, probably even
act we'll. But there would come a
day when something failed at the
wrong moment-because the invis-
ible value wasn't there. And
property, perhaps lives, would be
destroyed as the result.
These invisible values, unseen as
they are, constitute the greatest
value to be sought by a community
in maintaining its fire protection.

Maj. A. L. Fletcher, Commission
er of Labor, announces that North
Carolina farmers are to have a new
service through the Federal and
State Departments of Labor as a
part of. President R~oosevelt's Re-

This service proposes to make of
each employment office a clearing
house through which farmers,
farm tenants, and farm labor may
go when in need of help of any
kind.
Families of farm origin now liv-
ing in town or mill villages will
also find this office of help shoulc
they be interested in returning te
the farm. Some provision is being
made to aid such families with pro.
visions and clothing where needed
under certain conditions.

may in these unsettled times, be Of

VOTERS SHOW CONSERVA-
T1SM

The recent municipal elections
settled one question that has been
extensively debated of late
whether. there was overwhelming
public sentiment in favor Of gov
crnment. owned and operated
electric plants. And the answer
was No. In brief, the result was
very much as it had been in SINH
lar elections for many years-each
town has its own ideas on the mat
ter, and nothing that can be de-
scribed as a national wave of en-
thusiasm for public power develop
ed where the voters had a chance to
express themselves.
The American people have grown
weary of municipal waste, graft
and inefficiency. The Mayorality
elections, in which long-seated
once-powerful political machines
were overthrown, are proof of that.
The voters demand honest. effec-
tive and economical government
And it's been the fruit of expert
ence that the best way to get away
from that is to put the city gov
eminent into business-any kind
of business. Waste almost newt
ably results. While there may b.
no. graft, the red tape of bureau
cracy STILES progress, pours money
to the winds and hands the tax
payers a heavy deficit to pay out
of axes.
The American people, as a whole,
realize that this is a very poor time
indeed to tamper with the springs
whence come jobs, salaries. divi-
dends and taxes.

R%ECOVERY'S WORST
ENEMY

Taxation can become so oppre-
sive that it defeats the very pur-
pose for which it was levied" said
Alfred E Smith recently. "And
what becomes Of it? 1t is charged
as a debt against the very people it
was designed to help"
That is especially APPLICABLE in
times of stress, when government
federal, state and Locals max
ing Iaudable efforts to stimulate
recovery. Bills are passed design
ed to raise the; public's purchasing
power-and then the danger ap-
pears that the cost of putting their
provisions into action will in itself
be a major detriment to purchasing
and spending. Acts seeking to put
men to work become part of the
law-and it is possible, if they are
based on faulty promises, for them
to destroy jobs through taxation,
instead Of creating more.
There is a growing feeling en-
the part of business men, large and
small, that the next essential step
on the road toward normally
should be definite reductions in the
cost of government. The tax
collector has closed thousands OF
commercial doors. foreclosed on a
multitude of farms, deprived
workers: of their jobs and homes.
He is the best friend hard times
has. He's .reeovery's worst enemy.
!! More, efficient and economical
government, all the way from
Washington to the smallest coun-
ty seat-that's the need of the
hour.

WE CAN'T STOP NOW

There are unmistakable Signs
everywhere of improvement in
economic conditions. More men
are at work, millions of them.
Farmers are getting better prices.
Retail business is good. Many
of the big industries report moro
orders on hand than for some years
past. Prices are rising. The bank
reports for October showed that
money, in the shape of checks,
changed hands at a rate. of IS
percent higher than in October of
1882. This is perhaps the most
encouraging sign of all, for it is
not the volume of money but the
speed which it moves from hand
to hand that counts. If every
body had a million and nobody
spent anything we would have hard
times; but if everybody had only a
hundred dollars and spent it quick
ly, knowing where the next humid
red was coming from. we would
have immense prosperity.
Much of the present. recovery
is due to such Governmental acti.
vities as the Public, Works pro-
gram; and its latest offspring, the
Civil Works Administration; much
to the loosening of credit and the
pressure on debtors through Fed
eraI assistance to banks and mort
eagors. Much of it is due, too, to
the distribution Of huge sums to
growers of various commodities a.
a premium for reduced production.
Those are only temporary meas
ures, of course. If they were all
to be abandoned now, they prob
ably would have no more perma-
nent effect than a Shot in the
arm" has upon a dope fiend.
They are, however, laying the
foundation for business and indus
try to build upon, and probably
will tide us over the emergency
and set us we'll on the road to re-
covery.
1t looks to us as if the thing for
everybody to do now is not to gum
the cards, but to give the New
Deal a chance to prove itself,
Everyone has a right to his private
opinion as to whether the end re-
suit will be beneficial, but nobody
with sense want to stop it now in
the middle of the stream.

and ridiculoudy wrote that the

Civil Works Administration for
an appropriation to build 1900
outhouses for Cleveland county's

vast that it contradicted itself. An
appropriation for the 1000 little
houses has been asked-that was
correct. But only about IS of
