No Relief for
The Workers

Nothing has been done for
the workers beyond an at
tempt, through charity and
inadequate governmental ap-
preparations, to prevent the
actual starvation of the job
less and their families. The
industrialists apparently are
not considering any reforms.
AS yet there is no govern
mental leadership in that di-
rection. Such measures as
some of those urged by
Senator Wagner have made
nc progress. Conservatives
frown on unemployment in
surance, on old age pensions,
on any change from the old
system, which would have
been bad enough had not
the workers through their
unions been able to protect
themselves as to wages and
working conditions. Today
the unions are disarmed by
economic conditions.
It is because of this state
of things, no doubt, that
William Green, head Of the
American Fedora t ON of
Labor, declares in a maga-
zine article that unless some
thing is done, the workers
will fight for their rights.
This article was published
in the official organ of the
American Chamber of Com
merce, and Mr.. Green in
variably has used his power
conservati V e ly, reasonably
and patriotically.

There is much talk by youth
on being independent"
Don't sink your Individual
ity" and "show your personal.
ity" are phrases that are heard
among the "moderns" on every
hand.
Not a word about how to live
and cooperate with other hui
man beings.
1t is all about how to make
your ego get ahead of the other
fellows.
Personality first and fore
most-be a good little self-ad-
Vertiser.
Thrust out your chest and
show your good opinion Of
yourself and your own ability
and meet the world that way.
There are thousands doing
that very thing today who have

attitude but their outside show.
They have not brains enough
to know that that is not all
there is to it.

"Important PersOns''


Because you are in a position
to demand it, do you insist
upon those under you waiting
on you?
Even though your work is
not important at the moment
and that of your helpers hap
pens to be important, yet you
do not hesitate to call upon
them to do what you should do
yourself.
Those in a position to COM
mand seem to have developed
a demand for more and more
personal service, instead of SER
vice that the office requires.
And in most instances, those
dependent for their positions
dare not make any objections
to these personal requests for
fear of losing their jobs.
1t is seldom those at the very
top insist upon service of a
personal nature except when
too busy to attend to things
themselves.
Usually it is those in minor
positions, but with men or
women under them who make
the most of an opportunity to
command.

A ND so the London
"A Times, as fe suspected.
did speak for the British
government when it de-
clared recently that in ask
ing for a reduction of the
British debt at our expense,
no suggestion Of compen-
sating concessions in the
interest of our trade, or any
other sort, will be tolerated.
1t was a stout Palmerstonian
assertion that many Amerl-
cans may think arrogant
and offensive.
Now we have it from the
government itself. It's con-
cept of the conference to be
held is that the sole ques-
ton to be considered is how
much of the British debt we
are willing to assume.
But there is another point
many will think more sig
nificant still. The reference
in the speech of Neville
Chamberlain to reparatlons
and, of course, we ac-
cepted none-is being in
terpreted as meaning that
Britain's attitude must be
determined by whether
settlements with all the
debtor nations combined are
satisfactory to them. If
this is a true Interpretation
and means anything, it
means that the debtor ma
tions are to combine against
us, and that separate con-
ferences will mean nothing.
The postponement of the
economic conference fits in
perfectly with this hypoth-
esis.
The effect of this splurge
Of foreign propaganda and
the arrogance of its tone has
not been good in Congress,
which alone can act finally,
nor among the people here.
Europe must not presume
too much upon the attitude
of the insignificant minority
here which Mr.. Chamberlain
loftily describes as our only
enlightened" opinion.

Robinson has just introduced
an important bill for their
relief setting up billion

along with other provisions,

So long as government
moves to meet the desperate
needs of the farms, the farm
ers, naturally conservative,
will not expect miracles and
will not resort to violence
which ends nowhere. Only a
flippant indifference to their
necessities will make them

Mr.. w. Green s
Statement

He sets forth the grounds
for his impatience thus:
1--WE gave government
every opportunity to pro-
duce a remedy. We gave
management every oppor-
tunity to produce a remedy.
We gave finance every op-
portunity. Finally, after
three years of suffering, we,
the organized workers, de-
clare to the world, enough;
we shall use our might to
compel the plain remedies
withheld by those whose
misfeasance cause our
VICE."
This does not mean a re-
sort to violence nor a turn
ing on our form of govern
ment, for Mr.. Green makes
his position clear:
"Our movement is and
has been loyal to free in
stitutions. It is American.
It believes in the American
structure of government. 1t
is hostile to Communism and
Fascism. It is and will re-
main American to the core"
But it does mean, just
what the farmers m e an,
that government and the
world of business can no
longer flippantly d is m iss
the desperate necessities of
the producers as beneath
their contempt.

Green's article, with its de

in The Nation s Business, the
official organ of the United

1t means that business men do
not share the views of some
financiers that they are not
personally involved in the
tragedy of unemployment or
in the bankruptcy of the
farms. They know they are.

Farm Conditions
Are Appalling

Pending the conferences
as to the foreign debts, we
have problems of the most
pressing nature here at home
on which our craftsmanship
must concentrate from now
on until something is done
to solve them. The banks
have been given attention.
and that was right; the rail-
roads-and that, too, was
right. But there can be no
hope of a restoration of
prosperity until something
is done for the unemployed
and the farmers.
There can be no restora-
tion Of trade until there is
a restoration Of the pur-
chasing power of many mil
lions of people who now
have no such power at all.
Nothing serious has been
attempted for the solution
of either problem. The con-
ditions on the farms are ap-
palling; their products are
selling for less than the cost
of production, and a buSi-
ness man of ultra-conserva-
tism will agree that this is
intolerable and impossible.
But when a suggestion is
made that through artificial
governmental m cans the
prices of these products
shall be raised, we hear that
this is going to increase
costs to the consumers Of
the cities. Of course! How
else can these thirty millions
on the farms exist? To ar
ray t h e city against the
country, and the country
against the city, in cut
throat contest can only end
in the ruin of both.
