MAKING BETTER MEN

A SIDE from the minor difficulties inherent
in so vast project and the fact that a
few trouble-making radicals managed to draw
attention to themselves in the early stages
the training of the big reforestation army
seems to be progressing in an eminently salts
factory manner.
Perhaps the most encouraging report comes
from Ft. Knox, KY Army doctors there
the other day checked up on the health rec
ords Of $50 young men who had come down
from an industrial city month before
They found that during their month in
camp these young men had gained an average
of eleven pounds apiece in weight.
Could anything testify better to the bene-
fits Of these camps? Whether the reforesta-
ton army plants lot of trees or not, it has
at least taken lot of young men who weren't
getting enough to eat and filed them up,
improving both their health and their morale.

it lacked the hardihood to follow.
visitor from some other planet would have
taken it for granted that civilization intended
to do something about the Japanese invasion

threats, protests and tall talk but what did
they amount to-?

Il Bolivia and Paraguay, the rise of Nazsm,
the English controversy with Russia over the
trial and conviction of some English engineers,
and half dozen other international wrangles
We are not making progress by such pal

than the uncertainty Of big ones. The world
needs nothing so badly as restoration Of belief
in the determination and ability OF its leaders
to go through with some scheme, to furnish one

That possibly is what has given President
Roosevelt his amazing hold on public sentiment
in this country and what explains all the prog

all go back to one-lack of faith in institu-

1t is paradoxical that war waged for the
sanctity of treaties and agreements should be
followed by a decade Of such uniform failure
to perform those things or render those serv-
ices that solemnly were promised.
The obsession that if the whole world can
be made to agree on something, everything will
be all right, regardless of what men or nations
do, has proved boomerang because what men
or nations do ultimately determines what the
world must accept

THE HOUSE OF MORGAN

Tor the first time in its history the House
Of Morgan today is being called to &C
count by the government
Twenty years ago the Puio committee
questioned the elder Morgan concerning the
affairs of his empire. The senate committee
now proposes to quiz the entire firm. The
present Morgan and his partners will be asked
to tell the government in Washington some
of the secrets of that other government in
Wall street.
The famous firm which has operated for
years without even disclosing it's capital set
up will have its operations aired in public
There is no point to this proceeding I'M
less constructive legislation is to follow.
The word has gone around that congress
may adjourn without action on the Glass
Steagall banking reform bill. This should
not happen. The Pujo inquiry of 1913 was,
in part, responsible for the federal reserve
act. The Pecora investigation should result
in completing the federal control of money
and credit.

has been initiated by the four governments
1t has put new life and hope in both the
disarmament and economic conferences. 1t
has drawn the United States and Russia closer
together in their almost identical peace and
disarmament proposals.
But it has not stopped the japanese ag-

Of the European powers to act in good faith

Davis the President turned these generalities

There may be a few Americans left who
fear the hazards of such policy, who still be-
reve in the ostrich policy of isolation, but
their number can not be large. Even school

A SHIPPERS BURDEN

THE naval board of inquiry into the Akron
disaster reports that an error in judgment
on the part of the ships commander con-
tributed to the catastrophe.
But, it adds very properly, that the COM
mander hardly can be criticised, since every
thing within his knowledge at the time his
fatal decision was made might have pointed
to his plan of action being justifable"
That brief sentence illustrates with tragic
clarity the tremendous burden that always
rests upon the master of ship-an airship, a
steamboat, or a sailing vessel
An emergency arises and he has to make
decision in a hurry He gets no second guess;
once and for all, his decision is final 1t
must be made, often enough, on insufficient
data.
The course that looks best to him may
turn out, in the light of fuller knowledge, to
be fatally wrong. That makes no difference.
He can't wait for more light
He must act quickly-and, if anything goes
wrong, he can share the responsibility with
nobody.

It Seems

MY mothers name is Mrs. Hey

quently she writes letters to news
papers and weekly journals OF opin-
ion. My mother is interested in the
affairs Of the day, and her COM
ments are vigorous.
Very often we are on opposite
sides. I do a column on Diego
Rivera and warmly espouse his
cause. and in the same issue I find
Mrs. Haywood Broun declaring,
When an artist has painted a pic
ture, canvas, or mural and been
paid for his work, what right has
he to dictate what shall be done
with it?'
Now. Of course, I don't agree with
that at all. I think he has every
right. But, then, I'm a painter and
radical. while my mother is a poet
and a Socialist.
Again, there was some little COM
motion because my mother pro-
tested to the Nation against its
printing certain atheist advertising.
l wouldn't care about that. In fact,
l think my mothers letter was
printed the same week that I was
invited to address the annual
luncheon Of the agnoStics.

IF there is any creature under the

is the man whose wife boasts that
