DEMOCRACY FACING
! TEST, SAYS HULL
Secretary of State Declares
Government Must Sur
vive Crisis.

Democratic government is facing
test in the efforts now under way tc
restore world economic health, Secre-
tary of State Hull said in an address
made public yesterday at the State
Department.
The address was delivered at recent
luncheon of the American Foreign SerV-
ice Officers Association.
L remember that President Wilson
remarked to me in 1920 that the Worlo
had been made safe for democracy,
Hull recalled. But he said that the
great problem is whether democracy Is
going to be able to justify itself.
Become Materialistic.
"Dictators have arisen in many coun-
tries. We ourselves have proceeded, lol
IL years following the war, to abanoor
most of the ideas and ideals that actu-
ated us during former periods and for
mer generations. We became entlreI1
materialiStic.
All those wonderful standards o.
conduct to which We had been accus-
toned to adhere were departed from, sc
that today nearly all the nations OF the
world, including our own, have ne
fundamentals either political, moral OF
economic. The nations and their peo-
pies everywhere are in large SENSE
PROSTATE without a definite program
of ideas and ideals for the rehablllta-
ton of their POLITICAL economic anc

I'VE have carried the experiment OF
self-government further than 1t has
ever been carried in the history OF the
human race, and yet it remains an ex-
pertinent. If in this undertaking we
should fail, if our civilization shoulo
be unable to cope with that age-olc
problem Of disagreement, 1 doubt II
it will ever be undertaken again In the
future.
so we have the tremendous under
taking today of rebuilding more securely
along political and economic lines, oul
relationships with the other nations
There are tremendous oppor-
tunities to improve from an economic
standpoint I feel that We Shoulc
not for a moment neglect the oppor-
tunities to continue to be from veal

A SUCCESSFUL FAIR

TT would be hard to estimate exactly the
l. amount of influence a great fair can have
on country. Historians generally agree that
the Columbian exposition, held in Chicago
forty years ago, was tremendous cultural
force in the developing life of America.
1t is interesting, therefore, to read that the
attendance at Chicago's 1888 Century of
Progress exposition during its first five days
surpassed the Columbians attendance during
the same period, by 100000 to $4,000.
When Philadelphia's sesqui-centennial ex-
position resulted in failure few years ago, it
commonly was said that the day of the great
worlds fair was over, The Century of Progress
affair seems destined to disprove that state
ment in short order
And it appears quite likely that the event
will have quite as great an influence on the
cultural life of the country as its famous pre-
decessor of forty years ago had.

ECONOMIC AGGRESSION

NISCOUNT ISHIT, Japan's chief delegate
to the world economic conference, de-
clared in New York the other day that inter-
national agreements against aggressor ma
tons ought to be extended to include eco
nomic as we'll as physical aggression.
Most of us who read his speech thought,
no doubt. that he simply was taking back
handed and ingenious way to justify Japan's
recent course of action in China.
Nevertheless, there is a certain point to
his argument. If the world is to unite to
punish nations which use force in violation of
treaties, it hardly can escape doing something
about nations which violate treaties in peace
tul ways.
Chinas boycott against Japan may have
been justified by the wrongs China had suf-
fered-that is a matter for argument. But
there is no question that it did offer great
provocation for Japan's incursion into Man
churia.

and guarantee labor its fair share OF the profits
from coal
But the Republican administration at
Washington did nothing. 1t allowed operators
to cut prices until coal was actually being
mined and sold at a loss. It allowed miners to
be subjected to virtual peonage. "a
1t permitted the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to adjust freight rates so that eastern
and midwest producers were undersold in
their own markets by the coal fields OF the
south, with their cheaper labor.
All this has now been done away with.
Under She terms of the national recovery bill
there aSe to be no more price wars, no more
strikes no more of the dissension that has
made King Coal the black sheep of American
industry
Perhaps it is asking too much to expect
this overnight. Perhaps it will be months,
even years. before this industrial Utopia be-
gins to function.
But there is no reason why it can not and
will not function. The national recovery bill
gives the government every power it needs to
bring about this much-needed transformation
in the coal industry.
1t only remains therefore for the admins
traCion, the operators, and the miners to Dull
together toward the goal that all alike seek.

THE QUEST FOR PERFECTION

was fine new definition of the demo-
cratic philosophy of government that Raw
mond Moley assistant secretary of state gave
the other evening when he went back to his
nome town of Olmsted Falls, O., to address
the village high school graduating class.
The principle of democracy" he said, "s
not In arriving, but in seeking 1t is not the
objective but the quest; it is indistinct dream
Ing, but also it is moving trying for perfection.
1T is being willing to take a chance, to
try new things, even if all the voices of the
past cry out, You can't do it,
Perhaps we may make mistakes in de-
mocracy Perhaps we don't govern as well
as If we set up an emperor but out of our
mistakes we are building something of per-
mament and substantial value
ON with the quest! That's democracy.
That's the spirit of America"
There is something peculiarly appealing
in these words, coming as they do at time
when we are wading straight into some of the
deepest and most turbulent experiments any
people ever has made.
Most of us are not quite sure where we are
going, and even fewer of us are satisfied that
we actually are going to get there; but all of
us can take hope from the fact that we
actually are on the move, that we have re-
sumed the magnificent old American habit of
keeping our eyes on the future and seeing the
towers of dream cities just over the horizon
line
If one had to name any single thing as the
typical American characteristic, it probably
would be just that habit of looking ahead, of
forever going on with the quest.
We often have been proud and boastful
people, but we seldom have been satisfied with
a present moment One era has succeeded
another in our history, but never have the
people as a whole been content to relax.
Always there has been that sense of future
accomplishment that feeling that all our
actions were parts of some vast plan which
would result, in some far-off day, in making
a fairer and happier land than the world
ever had seen before.
We don't know how and when we shall
make that dream come true The road ahead
of us is long, twisting and rocky.
But what of that?

where we must truly find our soul.

MAYBE JAPAN WAS RIGHT

THE ms and out of disarmament confer
- ences sometimes must strike the ordinary
citizen as beinG just trihe difficult to follow
Japan's delegate at Geneva, Ambassador
Sato, threw the conference into an uproar by
asserting that his country would refuse to
renounce bombardment from the air until the
navies Of the world abolished their aircraft
carriers.
This action, of course, was an obstacle in
the path of agreement stumbling block on
the road to disarmament. But doesn't it, after
all, sound like common sense?
Are we all to agree to outlaw aerial bonn
bardment and at the same time spend mill
lions to build and support aircraft carriers.
which are designed with aerial commandments
in mind?
IT we never, never are going to launch our
bombing planes, do we need expensive carriers
for them?

WEDNESDAY. JUNE "A. 1898.
THE NEW ROAD

CONGRESS has done a good job in start
- ing us on the road Of national planning.
Maybe the new roadswill not lead us all the
way out of this chaos. Doubtless there are
turns ahead. But we have left behind the old
faith in dog -eat-dog individualism.
The industrial recovery act breaks with the
past that produced the depression. Private
initiative, private profit, private control, are
to be regulated in the public interest.
Industry, which has failed to save itself
is invited to cooperate with government. In
dustry which refuses to set up fair codes of
competition and conditions of labor will be
regulated by the government The anarchy
of overproduction, glutted markets, unem-
ployment, wage cuts, child labor sweatshops
is to be attacked by all the powers of govern
ment and of enlightened employers and unions
fighting together.
Under the farm relief law, agriculture will
be encouraged to plan. Production can be
held closer to market demands, unproductive
lands can be taken out of cultivation, the
mortgage burden can be lifted little.
Through the Tennessee valley project,
co-ordnated development of the unused re-
sources of that area and others will produce
more jobs and better lives for hundreds Of
thousands
beginning has been made in rebuilding
our collapsed banking and financial system
Security issues will be more secure. Careful
investigation of the House of Morgan and
other banks may lead later to laws that will
end Wall street domination of industry and
government.
We are embarked upon imitation. We
have gone off gold as a standard, but have
conserved our gold supply as a base for larger
government financial responsibilities and
bond issues. We have opportunity to re-
value our money at an honest level, so that
commodity prices can raise and factories open,
so that corporate and individual debtors can
pay with the same dollar they borrowed.
To prevent imitation from running wild
congress has about balanced the operating
budget and thus removed the incentive for
printing press money to pay current govern
ment expenses
In enacting this vast program of reform
and reconstruction, congress has followed the
leadership of President Roosevelt. 1t has
vested in him the extraordinary powers neces-
sary to administer such national planning
This is day of hope.

M.E.TracySays:

CYRUS K. CURTIS started business with
~ three cents, converted a four-page weekly
into The Ladies Home Journal, bought The
Saturday Evening Post for $1,000, and died one
of the three or four outstanding American pub
fishers.
He was typical Of an era doing for the maya
zine what Carnegie did for steel, Hartman for
the railroad and Ford for the automobile.
You hear folks say that the era is coming to
an end, and with it the self-made man. Right
they may be as to the first, but never as to the
last No matter how eras come and go, the self
made man remains, a natural by-product OF
human need and human hope.
True to a habit which has bedelived us into
many plumbers and warped our sense OF values,
we confuse the self-made man with money Not
only that but confuse success OF all descr1p-
tons with money.
Naturally enough, we find it hard to content
plate the collapse of a get-rich-quick system
without kissing goodbye to about everything
which we have associated with individual
triumph.
We have arrived at point where we simply
can not think of such men as Homer, Socrates,
not accumulate vast fortunes, organize great
corporations, or endow universities wherefore
they could not be the genuine article.
y
WE are drunk with the glitter of gold, and
Nothing shows it like our chatter about self
made men, just as though they had not been
breaking up through the social or political crust
of society since the dawn of consciousness.
You can change the rules of the game, but
you can't balk men of talent and courage or
obviate the need they alone can satisfy. They
played no different part in the great American
drama than they have played in every drama, or
than they will continue to play in dramas still
20 come.
The tune may be changing. but strong, far
sighted men go right on leading the dance. We
can introduce new scenery, new methods and
new plots but we can not alter the law of
relatively.
The Stains, Mussolinis, and HitIers represent
something of a revolution in human ideas of
government, but not a revolution in human
nature.
Men of strength and ability always have and
always will run human affairs, whether in the
field Of politics, poetry, business, or science.
THERE never was an age so dark, or a nation
l. so shackled by tyranny, that men or genius
couldn't find way to make their influence felt,
couldn't smash or leap the barriers.
We must get it out of our heads that We have
enjoyed the only great era or opened the only
door for self-made men. Also We must get it
reliable evidence of genius, or that well-greased
factory system represents the end and aim of
human existence.
If modern life leaves no room for culture, art
and refined happiness, we might as well admit
that the racketeers are right But we won't do
that, largely because self-made men, who dare to
defy the traditions and conventions of craSsly
materialistic season, can be depended on to set
us right. - So

GOALS UTOPIA

WAsHINGToN dispatches state that the
w coal industry will subscribe willingly to
the terms of the national recovery bill.
That is welcome news. It means the end of
the ruinous competition that has beggared
operator and miner alike.
No industry is in greater need of the gov
eminent assistance that the national recovery
bill provides. And no industry will benefit more
from the partnership between industry and
government that this bill will set up.
Indicating the Importance of government
rehabilitation of the coal industry, General
Hugh johnson, prospective administrator of
the BILL says that he will look after the coal
industry himself.
That means he personally will supervise the
fair play codes to be set up under the bill, that
he will see to 1t that miners get decent wage
in return for their labor, and that operators
are guaranteed fair profit.
For years, King Coal has reigned without
regulation. There has been continual strife
between rival operators and between operators
and miners.
In fact, the depression in the coal fields of
this district began long before that fatal Wall
Street stock market crash of 1929 Wages
began to go down in 1927. and there were
strikes, most of them accompanied by blood
shed and riots.
During all his time few progressive
operators looked 10 Washington for istance.
They hoped that the government v aid step
in, stop the price-cutting Of rival roducefs

we should regulate our world &C
cording to 1776 standards? Or Of
certain others, who seem to think
that because we do not recognize
Russia officially, Communism, either
as a menace or a hope, does not
exist.
And consider, please, the multi
tudes Of people who call themselves
free, who yet are enslaved COM
pletely by the war fetish. A belief
in the power of armed force to right
the wrongs endured by men is the
grossest of human errors existent,
and certainly is based on pagan SUI
perstition rather than definite
knowledge.
Moreover, so long as We continue
to punish instead of trying TO pre-
vent crime, We are deeply sunk as
in the dark ages as is any savage
medicine man.

TURN ON THE LIGHT

n. p. VAN swERINGENs complaint to
~ Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for the Morgan
investigating committee, that these investi-
cations are terrifcally destructive" is some
what belated revival of the kind of cry that
financial and industrial titans used to emit

what was going on behind the scenes.
1t was raised repeatedly during the Teapot
