ARMISTICE DAY REFLECTIONS

The 18th Armistice day celebra-
tion recalls the terrible events OF
the World War. which constituted a
great crisis in the life of the nation
and the world. The things that hap
pened then have profoundly altered
the history of the nation. Every
living person will continue to feel
these effects all his life.
Instead of lifting the world to a
new plane of social progress, the
net effect of the war was to depress
its forces making for good. 1t was
fondly dreamed that the fine spirit
that developed during the war was
going to be a permanent force for
good. but things do not work that
way. Wars always exercise a de-
pressing influence on human society.
After a war happens. it takes a ma
tion a long time to clean up the
wreckage.
The most disappointing feature of
history since that war. is that it
accomplished little or nothing to-
ward establishing permanent peace.
It was considered "a war to end
war but Europe today trembles
with the tramp of armed men. I'm
less the spirit of those nations
changes, another war. will take place
in due time as a result of the
hatreds and injustices that develop
ed in that struggle.
That war gave the world ter
Tible shaking up. and in that shak-
ing. many old systems of govern
ment went down But the new evils
that have since developed seem as
bad as the old ones that were gotten
rid Of.
Our country escaped from the
World War with less suffering than
others. But the economic repercus-
sions in our country proved most
disturbing. The first result was
the inflated speculation that a great
war always produces. That led to
economic disaster, from which we
are now recovering. The main les
son out of the whole thing is to
work untiringly for abolition of war,
but to remain outside the senseless
quarrels of Europe which keep the
world in turmoil

sible for such a statement.
Happy time will demonstrate
the merits of the recovery program
and we may have faith that in the
meantime the American people will
continue to follow the leadership OF
the President, under whose guidance
millions of the unemployed have
been put back to work, in prefer
ence to the leadership of those under
whose guidance millions of willing
workers lost their jobs while the
prospects of economic collapse and
revolutionary chaos haunted the
thoughts of every well-informed cit
izen."
True, time will surely demonstrate
the merits of the recovery plan, but
our best cooperative efforts must be
brought into play to prepare to car
ry on the tasks ahead of us, and al
though the depression is still too
much with us we must admit that
we are steadily coming out of it.

for all the other publicity you have
given to the NRA program.

NATIONAL PLANNING

The NRA is regarded by many as
the first step in what is called ma
tional planning" Philosophers and
economics have been urging that
our industrial system has been an
unplanned arrangement, a scheme
in which everybody does as he
pleases, and consequently that many
things go wrong. Now, it is argued,
we must have a logical plan for our
industries, which shall prevent
over-production, avoid waste, and
distribute prosperity fairly.
These are fine ideals. But the at
tempt to plan out the activities of
125,OOO,OOO people is a staggering
proposition. and it will need more
than human ability to do it. 1t is
more than the majority of people
can do to plan their own lives, and
not many are qualified to plan the
lives of other people.
The old order of things placed un-
limited faith in unrestricted compe-
tition. 1t said to every business,
Go it alone" 1t had faith that if
every business was trying to get
business away from every other
business, the country would benefit
by low prices and good service But
it has not proved so.
Now the business organizations
are trying through the NRA codes
to prevent unfair competition. They
are cutting out some abuses. Still,
we must not limit individual initia-
tive too far. If man who has some
pep and hustle has to run to Wash
ington or to the headquarters of
his trade, before he can display his
initiative and employ labor, we ham
per business.
The enormous task of controlling
the stupendous business of this
country is too big a task for any
body but superman. But if every
business will do its share in giving
work and prosperity to all the peo-
pie. our experiment in national
planning may get results.

"America's Sweetheart" Files
Divorce Papers; Doug, in
Switzerland, Is Silent

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 9
I.N.S. ).-Mary Pickford today
turned to the stage for solace
as her "perfect romance" with
Douglas Fairbanks was plunged
into the Los Angeles divorce
courts.
The little blonde actress who
has remained Americas Sweet
heart" indicated firmly that the
crash Of her l3 years Of married
life with q husband equally IA
NOUS on the silver screen will not
end her plans for continuing her
distinguished career.
Starts for East
Miss Pickfor6 secretly boarded
the Santa Fe California limited
train bound for the East shortly
after the suit was filed.
"MentaI suffering and an
guish." 3
So she charged in her divorce
complaint on file here, adding it
was caused her by the action Of
Fairbanks, now hobnobbing with
royalty in Europe.
Protracted absences from Pick
fair of Fairbanks led to the final
separation of the pair in May Of
this year, she charged. Fairbanks,
now in Switzerland, has been
silent on the charges.
Friends, reading between lines
Of the divorce complaint, saw the
real reason for the divorce in the
divergence of the tastes of the two
famous film players.
Movies Incidental
Life for Fairbanks, they said,
meant social affairs with royalty,
mad airplane dasheS about the
country, hunting trips into the
orient, and all the athletic fevered
pace that only he could maintain.
Movies, to him, were only Incl
dental.
Life for Miss Pickford, they
pointed out, meant the steady
application Of her talents to her
screen career, which she has
never allowed to languish since
she turned to the films in 1910,
quiet social gatherings at Pick
fair with her intimate friends,
and a host of charitable and so
cial service activities that have
endeared her to the nation.
Many RumOrs About
Thus for the second time in
year the royal family" of Holly
wood has gone to the divorce
courts.
In the spring Of the present
year, Douglas Fairbanks, jr., son
Of Fairbanks by a previous mar
riage, and Joan Crawford Sepa-
rated and a little later Miss
Crawford obtained divorce in

Since the separation of Miss
