.SL.UGGER OUT
Of LINEUP
TEN DAYS
BY GARRETT WATERS

Fred Schultz, veteran Griff out
fielder, will be out of the lineup
a week, maybe 10 days, because
of that injury he sustained to his
finger in yesterdays Griff-White
Sox game at Griffith Stadium.
Fred underwent a thorough eX-
animation this morning and found
that he'd received a fracture, the
finger being the third one on his
left hand.
This means that a particular
member of the Griff cast will get
into plenty of games during the
days Schultz will be inactive. He
is Dave Harris, pudgy outfielder,
who loves to play baseball, II
there ever was a guy.
Harris will be in center field
today as the Griffs engage the
White SoX in the second game
of the current series and if he
hits like he should, will probably
continue in the lineup every day
until Schulte's return.
This injury to Schultz marks
the second one sustained by him
during the past two weeks. AT
st. Louis while the Griffs were
out West, the veteran dislocated
the second finger on his left hand
when he and Manager Joe Cronln
collided going after fly ball.
Schultz got his latest injury all
by himself yesterday. 1t came IN
the third inning when Earl Webb,
Sox rightfielder, lined a curving
drive towards center. Schultz
dived after the ball but it took a
peculiar bound, hitting his gloved
hand so hard that the fractured
finger resulted. The veterans loss
will be felt by the Griffs in every
way as all season he has been
hitting the ball far, wide and
handsome.
Manager Joe Cronin mapped
out a definite policy for the Wash
ington Griffmen when he took
over the management OF the
club this spring down at the
Biloxi lMiSsD training camp.
All season he has been follow
ing it to the letter and so far
it has worked to perfection with
his players. The policy calls for
the GriffS to go out on the ball
field every day and try to win
each game regardless of who IS
the opposition for the day.
Try Again, Is Idea
If a victory cannot be regis
tered the idea of the thing is
to try again the next day, hoping
that a winning stride will be
started that'll be hard to halt
once it gets into full momentum.
The Griffs began very we'll al
the opening of the campaign
when the Philadelphia AS were
defeated on April 12. Another
triumph was registered the next
DAY, then came that slump when
carried the team pretty far down
in the standing of the race.
Manager Cronin's policy came
into its own at this point, as the
history of the thing will tell
Keeping in mind not to become
discouraged over consistent losses
the GriffS broke out in a Verltao!es
wrath during the last days OF
April and began defeating every
body that came along, the Ne"
York Yankees in particular.

THE GRADUATES PROBLEM

OUT from or schools and colleges pour the
- annual army of graduates, two million
strong at least. It is an army no longer how
ever, but just an unorganized multitude of
badly bewildered boys and girls.
Planned life has come to an end. They
now must strike out, each for himself or her
self. Through the help Of relatives or their
own initiative, some have places already pro-
vided but more have not. A few have in
herted sufficient wealth to feel secure, but
the great majority must pay their way. How
to do this is difficult question.
In the first place, these graduates find
themselves confronted by a situation in which
individualism is at low ebb. They have been
trained to believe that boy or girl has little
chance except through a job with some big
outfit. When they ask for such a job, they
usually are told that only experienced workers
are wanted
Unless they have been graduated from
some technical or professional school they can
not qualify. Their first and greatest shock is
the discovery that a general education, no
matter how complete, does not fit them for
any Of the innumerable trades and callings
into which modern life has been divided That
is a disappointment which many never will get
over.
The tragedy of our educational system is its
lack of connection with the work-a-day world
There is a definite gap between graduation
from the average high school or college and a
job.
Eight of ten boys and girls have to Sbegn
all over again. Though the education they
have received enables them to make faster
progress, they must start from scratch
The question is whether the high schools
and colleges could not do more for vocational
training without sacrificing the cultural back
ground.
Admitting that a cultural background is
necessary, it still is background and con-
stantly changes in obedience to demands of
progress.
Art, literature, music, and even democracy
are not regarded in the same way they were
fifty years ago.
Meanwhile, there is a steadily increased call
for trained workers
Our educational system must find way
not only to reconcile culture with vocational
skill, but to shorten the course. 1t is wrong to
keep youth back so long, particularly in an age
which demands experts on the one hand and
vitality on the other
1t Is wrong to force such vast number of
boys and girls to learn SO much that they
can't use and so little that they can, to set
them adrift with sIIch O OBSCURE oi,oo a1aror1a
of ineflciency.
They have been prepared poorly for the
drive and discipline of world at work. They
have little idea of what it means to lay brick,
pound typewriter, stand behind a counter,
hoe corn or do anything else day in and day
out, unless their parents have taught them.
In most cases, their parents can not do this
because of the way present-day life is
organized.

organized.

ME American delegation at the world
monetary and economic conferences says
the United States government favors reduc-
ton of tariff and other trade barriers "as
quickly as possible" When is that?
Nobody knows. 1t is the sort of pious
statement which politicians make during
campaigns, a large generalization to which
all can agree without action of any kind.
When a delegation to an international
conference resorts to such platitudes 1t
usually is to cover up lack of definite
policy or an unwillingness to enter serious
negotiations
In fairness to the American delegation.
it can not be blamed for its own uncertain
ties
When the American delegation originally
favored monetary sterilization it was car
rying out the Roosevelt policy. How was
it to know that the President suddenly would
reverse his policy?
When Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
chairman Of the delegation, and the Amer
lean experts proposed for discussion a 10
per cent horizontal tariff cut, they were car
rying out Roosevelt p4>icy. How were they to
know that Mr.. Baruchs nationalistic eco
Monies unexpectedly had converted the
President-if such is the case?
When the President favored an interna-
tional settlement of war debt, tariff, and
monetary conflicts, and a consequent re-
sumption of world trade as a necessary step
toward American business recovery, he
seemed to have a sound program
1t still seems SUCH for surely it is i'm
possible for the United States to isolate it
self economically from the rest of the world,
either in prosperity or depression.
If the President has become an isola->
zionist as reports now state, and as some c.
the administrations acts seem to indicate,
we believe it can not be for long. The pres
sure of facts is apt to bring the President
back to a policy Of international cooper
alton.

travelling in circles should occur in the Lon

JUSTICE FOR VETERANS

ID EPUBLICAN members of congress who
~ tried to make political capital out of
opposition to the Roosevelt reduction of
veteran payments during the closing days of
the session, doubtless will be surprised and
grieved by the latest statement of the
American Legion.
After careful analysis of the complex legis-
lation, the legion finds that it restores $685.
100000 of veteran payments and that it keeps
many thousands of worthy cases on the COM
pensation list, compared with the original
economy program.
On the major issue Of justice to the war
wounded, the legion states that the law, If
properly administered, assures the service
connected disabled and their widows, orphans,
and dependent parents reasonable protection
for the present, and at the same time increases
the compensation of totally permanently dis
abled veterans whose affliction was not Of
service origin"
In other words, the Roosevelt compromise
measure is fair to the veterans, as the Presi-
dent said it was. Those Republicans who
plan to make this campaign issue in 1884

LOW COST FARM RELIEF

MIR. AVERAGE CITIZEN doubtless will
AVA hope that Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace was right when he said that the maximum
processing taxes on wheat called for under the
government current acreage reduction plans
should not increase the retail price of bread
by more than half a cent loaf.
Secretary Wallace is quite right in pointing
out that bread costs do not always follow the
price of grain. loaf of bread, as he remarks,
often costs more when wheat prices are low
than it does when they are high
If the government is able to increase the
price received by the farmer for his wheat
without at the same time making the ordi-
nary citizen pay more for his bread, it would
seem that the biggest single obstacle in the
way of the new farm relief plan will have been
removed.

THE FOREST ARMY AIDS

GONE of the actual accomplishments of the
~ reforestation camp program are cited in
a recent report by Robert Fechner, director
of emergency conservation work According
to this report the project already has justi-
fled itself.
Already, says Mr.. Fechner, the 2500OO men
enrolled have arranged for the payment of
cash allotments to more than 100000 families,
involving altogether close to a million persons.
The arrival of this allowance money. he
remarks, will bolster family budgets so that
local relief organizations will find their load
substantially lighter.
Nor is that all. Millions of dollars are
being spent on the forest army-$9OO0O a
day is being spent for food alone, for in
stance; more than $46O0,OOO is being spent
for clothing tents and other equipment, and
fully 5000 is being spent for athletic
equipment
All in all, these expenditures should pro-
vide very valuable stimulus for business
generally.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TINES

attacks on individuals, this wave Of disapproval
eventually viii waste itself If it turns on the
Wall Street system as a whole, however, it
can be made one Of the most useful bits Of
public sentiment the country ever displayed.
And in speaking Of the Wall Street
system" it is worth while to quote from a
recent article in Harper's Magazine by John
T Flynn. noted financial writer.
Flynn declares bluntly that the stock
exchanges nowadays are chiefly devices for
creating excessive debts; and he goes on to
explain just how the job is done.
AS sample he cites the organization of
the United States and Foreign Securities Co.,
an investment trust organized by Wall Street
banking firm.
The concern was capitalized at $50 100000.
Bonds worth s25,OOOOOO were sold to the
public. Preferred stock worth 100000 was
issued and sold to the bankers themselves.
In addition 100000 shares of common stock
were issued and assigned to the bankers as a
bonus for buying the preferred.
Thus the corporation got its $3O0OO0O0
But that was only half the story The
bankers took their common stock which had
cost them nothing, and had it listed on the
exchange. Very soon it was valued at $50
share.
How much Of this common stock issue
was sold it is not possible to say" remarks
Flynn. 1T is conceivable that $50, 100000
worth was sold before the market break in
which case it is clear that this enterprise
would draw $SOOOO,OO0 from the public in
vestor though only $3O,OOo,OOO actually went
into the business"
This little anecdote speaks volumes. And
no one who is familiar with the Wall Street
system will say that it is an isolated or I'M
usual case.
1t represents normal way of floating Sc
curites-and it also, as Flynn says, represents
a sure-f1re way of creating excessive debts.
No one would deny that Wall Street has
an important and useful function to per-
form in the economic life of the country
But it is pretty clear that some way must be
found of curbing its debt-creating proclivi-
ties.

SATURDAY,. JUNE "a. 1899.
COMPROMISES NEEDED

A FEW weeks ago the leading world states
4 men were discussing the London confer
ence in terms of the Macdonald Roosevelt re-
mark-"We have got to make it succeed"
Today this fine sentence seems to have
been forgotten, and the various delegates at
London, our own included, evidently are will
ing to come to an international agreement
only ii they can do so without recedng an
inch from their respective national policies.
A short time ago they were telling us that
agreement at London was a matter of the
highest Importance. Today they are acting
as if the conference were some vast sort of
poker game, in which the big idea was to get
all you could from the other fellow without
giving up a thing yourself
America talks of general tariff reductions
that will stimulate world trade, but refuses
even to discuss war debts, and grows suddenly
deaf when currency sterilization is mentioned.
England also talks of revivng international
trade but clings to trade agreements like the
Ottawa pact and the recent agreement with
Denmark, Argentina and the Scandinavian
countries.
France likewise INDUCES in pious talk, but
olings to her gold standard refuses to pay
dime on the war debts and hints at the estab-
lishment Of self-contained economic unit by
France and her colonies
Japan prepares to discuss armament reduc-
tons by insisting that she be permitted to
build navy as strong as any on earth.
And so it goes, until one wonders whether
the people of the world today have reached
state of mind in which any important inter-
national agreement is possible.
But it may be that the pessimism created
by early activities at London is not justified
entirely.
After all, the reasons for the calling of the
conference are still as potent as they ever
were The spokesman for the several coun-
tries know that a complete failure of the
present discussions would be nothing short of
a catastrophe.
An attitude of complete intransigeance may
go very we'll at the beginning but it is quite
possible that a general notifications of it will
be seen before the discussions are ended
That, at any rate, is the way most of us
prefer to look at it. The issues at stake at
London are too important to be allowed to fall
just because the various delegates are afraid
of compromise.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-06-24

probably win have to look for better issue
when the time comes.
There really is nothing in the Roosevelt
record to cause any one to believe that this
administration Willingly will deal unjustly
with the veterans OF course there always is
the danger in any administration danger
multiplied during depression and budget
dehcits-that red tape will cause unnecessary
hardship.
That apparently is what happened two
months ago when this newspaper criticised the
harsh manner in which the economy program
was being applied to the service connected
disability cases.
The President and Budget Director Lewis
Douglas should make clear to the veterans
administration that red tape is not to interfere
with adequate care Of the war wounded and
that channels Of personal appeal for such
cases are to remain open always.
