The Friend Of Wild Life.

In Canada there is an Indian back
woodsman whose name is Grey owl
and who at one time was a trapper,
but the cruelty Of the trapping and
the awful toll of wild life that took
place aroused his pity and from trap
ping he became a most valuable pro-
tector Of the wild things all around
him. In the wilds of Quebec. near
Lake Temiscouta. he built himself a
log cabin and in the country around
his lonely home he began to study and
protect the mammals and birds. His
home became a regular sanctuary for
wild life and many specimens Of NAM
NAL and bird make their homes about
his hut. He befriended and raised
an orphan beaver which has formed q
colony in pond nearby, and these ami
mails have learned to answer the call Of
their guardian. The Canadian govern
ment was so appreciative Of the fine
work of Grey Owl III saving some Of
the disappearing wild creatures from
extinction, that 1t has appointed him
to supervise that great wild life sane
tuary-Riding Mountain Park. Mani
toha, where the beaver and his COM
panions can live in security and where
a remarkable film of its wonderful life
story has been obtained.

MEN AT WORK

d ELIEF ADMINISTRATORS HOPKINS Tor
IN NAL announcement that the federal and
state governments have reached the goal of
turning 100000 indigents into CWA wage
earners is about the cheeriest preholiday news
America could read
The almost incredible speed in transform
ing these millions of charity wards into work.
ers in one short month proves that the Amer
lean genius for organization is as effective in
peace as in wartime. Unstinted credit goes to
the leaders who achieved this.
1t is difficult to overestimate what this
latest project means to the new employees and
their families. Ask a jobless man who has
walked the streets for months in search of
work Ask his wife and children what hui
Mutations they have endured. There is no
substitute for a job, and the Roosevelt ad.
ministration from the President down has
earned a special Christmas benediction for rec
ognizng this.
OF course it is a costly expedient for the
government. Probably the better part of a
billion dollars will have been spent in wages
and materials by next spring. Besides this
there will be distributed some s55, 600 900 worth
of surplus wheat hogs. butter apples, mutton,
eggs, cheese and other produce. But the
money will go into children'S bone and muscle,
into salvaged self-respect. into needed civic
improvement and cultural progress. Who, re-
Numbering the billions we spent to destroy
life fifteen years ago, viii not be glad that
now we are spending to save and enrich life.
The magnificent adventure we are watch
ing can be betrayed by selfish and partisan
interests. In this war on hunger and IN
employment political profit and graft are trea-
son.

FORCES BEHIND MONEY POLICY

TINE strangest thing about the long argu-
= ment over the governments monetary
policy is that SO many of the arguers seem
to be trying to conduct the debate in a
vacuum.
What We are getting is, in the main, an
academic discussion of the relative values of
money which is anchored firmly to an i'm
mutable gold base and money which is flexible.
1t is an argument, for the most part, which
might Just as well have been held in 1928
as in 1888
Most Of the time the surging waves of
public unrest which make up the background
of all this argument get ignored entirely. We
get plenty of scholarly expositions on the
way initiation starts and the things it does
before it stops, and plenty of historical anal
Uses of what happened in Germany and Rus
STA, but very little mention Of the way in
which recent economic developments have put
pressure on our social fabric.
A monetary policy doesn't come into being
in void. 1t is the product of innumerable
forces. The economic laws in the text books
may be important; SO, too, are farmers sunk
in debt, hone-ow burdened with mort
cages they can not carry, cities that stand on
the edge of bankruptcy.
All those things produce dissatisfaction
with an infexible currency system, This dis
satisfaction may be Illogical, mistaken and
highly unwise; nevertheless, it is the prime
factor in the situation, and any attempt to
settle the soundness or unsoundness of our
monetary policy is worse than useless if it fails
to take it into account.
Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma an
nounced the other day that three different
congressional money groups would combine to
put through a mandatory imitation law this
winter if the dollar should be stabilized at
devaluation of less than so per cent.
That statement is the tip-of on the real
issue Of the day.
If the administration should adopt the
course urged by the Sound money" group, it
simply would be asking for an explosion. All
the inf1ationary sentiment in congreSS-and
there is a lot of it, rejecting the sentiment
of the people back home-would get up steam
to blow the lid off. The chances are very good
that it would do so.
Any arguments over monetary policy which
fail to recognize this fact are not worth
listening to.
