TELLING YOU THAT A BUz-
ZARD IS A RESPECTABLE
CITIZEN IN COMPARISON
WITH THE WRITER WHO
WILL, FOR HIS PERSONAL
PROFIT, MAKE SUCH MOCK
ERY OF THE MISERY OF HIS
FELLOW MAN
I read one such effusion the
other night. With bated
breath the authoress described
the matchless courage Of the
young couple who made the
rest of the unemployed look
silly-by going way out into
the Trackless wilderness at the
end of the trolley line and
Building A Cabin for $13O with
their Own Bare Hands.
Only, of course, the Old
. Folks supplied practically all
of the material; and the Kind
NeighboYs gave them their pro-
visions in return for an hours
wood chopping; and they had
their own car; and they didn't
need dentist; and their
friends dropped in to entertain
them at least four nights per
week.
However, everything came
out well in the end, goody-
goody! With nightfall, Our
Brave Pioneers gathered round
their open fire and prepared
some precious little canapes
(bacon and olives to you, mutt)
to go with the ducky little
cocktails.
'"That Indispensable touch of
civilization" purred the au-
thor in approval. And then,
lest you still feel a shred Of
sympathy for these derelicts
who accept your charity. she
concluded, "They ii. e., the
young couple) are persisting in
being the people they were
meant to be, instead of be-
coming case histories"
So it's all your own fault,
Bill, if you're starving. You're
entirely to blame, Mrs. Jones.
if your baby died of malnutri-
tion. For you selfishly al
lowed yourself to become a
lease History" instead of "be-
ing the people you were meant
to be" and maintaining "the
indispensable touches of civil
ization."
Canapes and cocktails-while
decent, honest ericans
scramble for crusts in garbage
cans; cringe before the storm
in gutter wallowS!
And thought of the woman
who sat staring, vacantly, with
her dead baby's mouth still at
her withered breast; and Of
the boy who blew out his
brains because he couldn't go
back again and tell his sweet
heart that he hadn't found a
job.

coming reconciled to the
very sweeping reforms in
the banking system planned
by the Administration. We
are going to divorce COM
mercial from speculative
banking. We are going to
make banks safe for the
depositors. And this means
some radical changes in the
structure.
The general public not
only is reconciled to these
changes-it demands them.
Nine out of ten people in
the United States are whole
heartedly behind the Ad-
ministration and it's purpose
here.
The bankers now realize
that the restoration Of pub
lie confidence in the in
tegrity and soundness of
their banks compels their
acquiescence.
Everyone now under
stands that all the racket
eers have not been engaged
in the liquor business; that
high finance, uncontrolled
by government, has been a
racket.
That is the reason that a
bankers lobby in Washing
ton to head off reforms just
now would do no good and
would be certain to do
harm.
The Government is now in
the hands of the people.
Morgan Firm
Not Immune
In getting the facts on
which to base intelligent ac-
ton, the Government has
the duty of going into
methods and events in the
past. Not only in the case
of a few insolvent banking
institutions; not merely with
the ordinary banks; but
with the banking house of
j. P. Morgan & Co.
The most powerful and
important financial group
in America today, it would
be absurd to grant it i'm
munity from the same
searching investigation that
is made in the case of less
important banks and groups.
And government has the
power to make such an in
vestigation. Any attempt to
prevent a thorough investi-
cation of Morgan & Co.
would concentrate attention
upon it and create a uni
versal suspicion of it.
No malice is here in
volved; nothing is involved
but the legitimate power
and duty Of government and
equal rights for all financial
groups.

'LECCERS SEEK
WINE CONTROL
French Dealers Threatened
by Rum Runners in
UItimatum.

BV H1ffd PtfSs
PARIS, Nov. 10.-American boot
leggers have delivered an ultimatum
to French wine dealers in an effort
to control wine imports into the
United States after prohibition is
repealed, the United Press learned
today.
A group of bOotleggers operating
into American ports from the
French islands of ST. Pierre and
Miquelon. off the southern coast of
Newfoundland. recently visited Paris
and insisted that they be granted
American agencies for certain
French wines. They threatened that
otherwise they would make trouble
for the American dealers who
were granted these agencies.
The threat placed the French
wine dealers in a dilemma, but they
still are anxious to break with the
bOotlegger ring and deal with le-
climate American importers, if pos
sible.

it is true that some people were
