LABOR'S STUPIDITY

MOST OF the manifestations Of stupidity
4VA that have blocked progress of NRA
have come from the employer group out not
all of them. Organized Iabor's jurisdictional
disputes equal in stupidity anything that has
come from the other side. and the national
labor board has done well to rebuke them.
The most ardent advocate of a strong labor
movement will have difficulty in discovering
just why it is important to that cause whether
organized millwrights or organized elevator
constructors should construct moving con-
veyors on the new Philadelphia postof11ce Yet
a general strike has been threatened for weeks
over this question. It would seem to serve the
real interests Of labor better to have work on
the postof1ce-and weekly pay checks-con-
tinue than to have work and pay checks stop
while a dispute between two unions is being
fought out
To the national labor board this seems
clear, and it has directed that the contractor
on this particular Philadelphia job assign the
work where he sees fit, regardless of the labor
dispute. It's decision comes only after the two
unions involved had been allowed a month to
settle their troubles themselves.
A country which is ready to sympathize to
the utmost with the workers need for work
will have little patience with labor move
ment whose leaders put their own desire for
power first. If craft unions existing today
continue to delay recovery measures by their
rivalry, advocates of industrial unionism will
find in this their most compelling argument.
Approaching the problem from a different
angle, company union employers likewise will
use this condition 70 advance their cause.
Labor has its greatest chance, today, to
work out its own destiny. If its old leaders
stand in its way it should seek new ones

INDIANA ARTISTS

A T no time in the worlds history has there
"A been greater need for sheer beauty. 1t
rises above economic depressions and political
distress Weary humanity may turn to it and
find sure rest from transitory difficulties
Indiana is fortunate in having an unusual
number Of distinguished artists and it is to
present their work to their fellow citizens that
the Junior League IS opening special exhibit
in the l. S. Ayres Company galleries on Mon
day
The Leagues Arts and Interests Committee
Of which Miss Rosamund Van Camp is chair
man, has worked unhaggingly to make the
exhibit a success. There is nothing exclusive
or snobbish about the affair No entrance fee
is charged for hanging a picture nor does any
jury pass upon the works that are to be ex-
hibited.
The choice is left entirely to the artist. He
may show what he really considers to be his
best work without any outside information.
This is a fine, democratic idea. 1t guarantees
that the exhibit viii be full of life and mag
ination.
No one can afford to miss this exhibition.
Indiana is known all over the world for the
creative work Of its artists and writer's. No
one needs go beyond the borders of our own
state to find beauty.

WELLES OUT OF CUBA

1T probably would be a mistake to assume
that Sumner Welles has been rebuked by
being. recalled as ambassador to Cuba.
Mr.. Welles was not sent down there as per-
manent ambassador. He had a specific job to
perform-to grease the skids under Machado
and he did it with skill and promptnesS.
That job being done, he can be recalled to
his earlier duties in the state department, and
Jefferson Caffrey can take the place he was
designed originally to take in Havana.
It begins to look as if the Grau San Martin
regime in Cuba is going to be a lot more last
ing than Welles expected That being the case
there is another reason for Mr.. Welles' recall.
Cuban officials feel that he has blocked
recognition of the present government. If the
government endures, and we do recognize it
formally, WelIes would be in an awkward po-
sition as ambassador.
The shift is a logical one, but it does not
necessarily reflect on Mr. Welles.

SOUND MONEY

A TIMES subscriber, L. E. H, writes to ask
N us to define Sound money" We are
not surprised that L. E. H. is somewhat con-
fused For the last few weeks the air has been
thick with such strange terms as relation
imitation" rubber dollar" 'baloney dollar"
and sound dollar" It's enough to drive one
to the insane asylum.
First. what is money? That is not so easy
to answer as it seems. Even the dictionary
can't make up its mind 1t gives six definitions
and YOU can take your pick. Perhaps the
widest 11se of the term would come under the
second definitions
ANY written or stamped promise or ceru-
fcate which passes currently from hand TO
hand as a means of payment"
This does not include bank deposits, which
ore really money in a broad sense. Orthodox
bankers deny that they actually manufacture
money but when a banker grants loans and
overdrafts the effect is to increase purchasing
mower Such loans may or may not be backed
bv actual cash in The banks vaults.
So. perhaps the best definition of money Is
that it is conglomeration Of bank deposits'
hank notes and coins important in the order
named Under the gold standard the paper
money and coins have general backing OF a
certain amount of gold. Bank deposits do not
necessarily have to be bolstered by sold.
The sound money" men evidently want
return to the type of money that was in eXiS-
+ence in the boom days. Under conditions at
that time the government rigidly restricted its
issue of money by tying it TO single COM
modify. gold. AT the same time the banks
we're minting all sorts of money by extending
credit and thus swelling their deposits.
If n man borrowed dollar in 1921 without
interest and paid off the loan in 1929 he would
have to paw something like s14S in purchasing
mower TO clear the Indebtedness. That was in
the era when the sound money" men were in
the saddle. Such a situation was Of enormous
value to the creditor class.
President Roosevelt is striving for man
aged credit and currency system in which the
dollar can be stabilized so that over period
of years it will serve as a reliable measuring
stick
The sound money men evidently believe
that if the dollar stretches upward so as to
benefit the creditor class then it is sound
dollar. If it stretches downward 70 dement, the
debtor class which, by the way, is in huge
majority. then it is an unsound, rubber" dol
lar They forget that rubber can stretch in
more than one direction.
They are for maintaining the economic
status quo because, to their near-sighted
vision they will benefit most by it. They cling
desperately to part of what the past teaches
but forget historys most important lesson
the inevitability of growth and change.
Does this fully answer your question, L. E
HIP Do you now understand exactly what
sound money" isl NO. Of course you don't.

ON GIVING THANKS

THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN
YEARS ago today a handful Of grim
jawed folk huddled on the forbidding and
stony shore at Plymouth. Hemmed in on one
side by a mighty and almost unknown sea
and on the other by an Unexplored wilder
ness where strange savages wandered, they
were giving thanks to the Almighty
Although they did not realize it, they we're
the forerunners in one Of those strange, rest
less movements which periodically cause the
human race to strike its tents and march for
new horizons. The Pilgrims could not fore
see that destiny had decided that great
nation was to spring from their lons. They
only knew that at last they were free to live
their own lives and they were glad.
Doubtless there were some in that tiny
group who stood on the high bluff to look out
beyond the trampling surf toward England.
These must have remembered that Christmas
was drawing near. Perhaps they longed for
the carols in the streets, the shadows Of holly
wreaths on the snow in the home towns that
they never would see again.
How they must have missed the security
of that life they had left and all the pleasant
neighborliness Of familiar, weu-loved scenes.
Plymouth's scrub pines, bayberry tangles and
bogs must surely have seemed a sorry sub
stitute for old England
There is no record that any Pilgrim
whimpered on that first Thanksgiving day.
Their rugged spirit never would have per-
mitted them to show the white feather. They
were humbIy giving thanks to God for one
opportunity
Today America once more stands hemmed
In by mysterious forces. All around lies a
strange new wilderness Of economic forces IN
which only a few bold explorers have ven
tured. bringing back fragmentary reports Of
mysterious perils far more dangerous than
hordes Of redskins.
Some on this Thanksgiving are looking
back over their shoulders at the old days OF
security when economics was some vague
academic subject interesting only to gray
boards and cranks These homesick ones long
for the times before depression when life was
simpler when all they had to do was to work
hard. save money and follow the precepts Of
their elders.
Once more humanity is stirring restlessly
and moving toward the unknown. But since
when have Americans feared the unknown?
It merely has meant one more chance to ad-
vance. The pioneers are still with us. There
is a new world to conquer.
So the United States kneels again today
on the shore of a huge and terrible ocean and
once more gives thanks for opportunity.

TWO Portuguese aviators are reported to
l. have been eaten by cannibals the other
day. Where and under what circumstances are
unimportant, the important point being that
while some men have learned to fly, others re-
main content to subsist on their beings.
What we call civilization has covered a very
small part of this earth, and that rather thinly.
You don't have to go very far to find the
jungle, whether from physical or moral stand
point
More significant than that. you don't have to
be subjected to great pressure in order to dis
cover that there is a very savage person squat
ting at the back of your head.
Two-thirds of the human race still live under
conditions which we look upon as barbaric,
while the other third is constantly breaking out
in some kind of barbarous spasm.
They burned a Negro down in Maryland re-
Gently, which represents a very old-faShioned
and primitive method of treating offenders
HARDLY a day goes by without some evil
i i dence of our diabolical side finding its way
into the headlines. You would have to go a
long way back into Africa, or back into his
tory for a more wicked causeleSS or wanton
crime than the kidnapping and murder Of young
Hart.
All this shows us how much work there is
to do not only abroad, but right at home. We
have fallen far short of doing anything like
civilizing ourselves, much less other people,
The trouble is that we fail to comprehend
the problem, fail to realize how little has been
accomplished. A little prosperity has served no
purpose more distinctly than to blind us to our
conditions.
With gasoline in the tank, We find it very
hard to believe that some people actually are
starving or that more than half the people on
earth never enjoyed what we think Of as an
ordinary meal or what We accept as an ordl-
narily good house.
TN the same way, we find it hard to understand
i how people can be driven mad by unframed
emotions, or how necessary it is to teach the
old-fashioned doctrine of sef-control not only
by precept, but by example.
Even if we forSake "fundamentalism" We car
not afford to forsake the missionary spirit, espe-
ciallv as shown by the way We live and the
things we strive to attain We have greatly en-
larged facilities at our command for spread
ing the gospel Of enlghtment. For that very
reason We face enlarged responsibilities for see
ing that it is spread.
In this hour OF exhaustion We flee TO ma
tionalism' as offering an easy way out OF our
difficulties Nationalism is all right insofar as
it inspires people to do the best they can with
what they have at home, but it is all wrong in
solar as it causes them to believe or deny the
advantages of free intercourse with their neigh
bors.

AL SMITH MEANS 1T

GAY one thing for Al Smith, whether you
~ agree with him or not; when he expresses
himself on a public issue, he uses language
which the most casual reader can not fall to
understand, exactly and completely.
When he looks, for instance, at the ad-
ninistrations monetary policy and expresses
the hope that the Democratic party will not
always "be the party of greenbackers, paper
money printers, free silverites, currency mana
gers, rubber dollar manufacturers, and crack
pots" he may make lot of people angry but
he at least leaves no doubt just how he feels.
And when he adds 81 am for gold dollars
as against baloney collars" he says in a SEN
tence what some men spend whole pages in
saying.
To be sure, the soundness of his views may
be open to much argument. But you have no
trouble figuring out just what his views are
