EDITORIAL ON MONEY POWER

(By Nicholas Murray Buter)
CONTROL of money and constant associa-
ton with money is perhaps the most de-
moralizing of human occupation. Small Won
der that in the ancient world it was thought
to be fit occupation for slaves There is
something about this contact and control
which obscures moral principles and human
values, and tends to develop stiffIy legalistic
attitude toward every human relationship.
This contact and control are accompanied
uniformly by secretiveness and secretiveness
without any actual falsehood whatever is one
of the most effective instruments of deceit.
Until condition can be brought about in
which money is looked upon and treated as
the symbol which it is, and not as COM
modify with a value and purpose of it's own,
men never can shake themselves free from
the shackles of what they so long have de-
scribed as the money power"

Vote for Repeal
AN EDITORIAL

THE arguments for the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment are familiar to
every one in this state. The depression has
merely pointed them and made the need for
action more immediate
Indiana decides today whether it will move
in the direction Of true temperance or stick to
law which has proved utterly unavoidable
and which has yielded revenue only to the
criminal classes.
There is little doubt of the true sentiment
throughout the state The Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment says that it has
received more individual contributions from
Indiana during the last year than from any
other state in the Union The voters them
selves approved the wet platform of the Demo-
cratic party at the polls last November.
Todays election is more than purely local
affair. The eyes of the nation are upon it.
Nine states already have decided to get rid of

A WISE DECISION

HE teeth in the industrial recovery bill
have been restored by the senate finance
committee, in voting back the licensing clause
When the committee originally threw out
that clause, it left the matter of cooperation
largely to discretion Of employers. Expert
ence in war time showed that such volun-
tary system would not work, therefore, the
war industries board was given effective
power
National experience during the depression
has proved that a minority of selfish or
short-sighted employers can wreck industry
by unfair methods The problem, as stated
by President Roosevelt, and by officials of the
United States Chamber of Commerce, is to
control the 10 per cent of employers who re-
fuse to go along with the 80 per cent.
Unless the government has power to force
the minority to respect the wage, hour. and
planning agreements of the majority of en-
ployers and of labor, the sweatshops will con-
tinue to drag down the nation, regardless of
fine phrases and generalities in any indus
trial recovery act.
For that reason, the licensing or enforcing
clause is the key to the entire bill

Dunn received his appointment because he

SCRATCHING THE SURFACE

ME House of Morgan is doing too much
to sidetrack the senate Investigation
Whenever the senate counsel starts an i'm
portant line of questioning, John w. Davis.
the Morgan lawyer. intervenes. Then the
point usually is argued out by Mr.. Pecora
and Mr.. Davis in the secrecy of an executive
session of the committee
we can not understand the committee vote
to suppress information. The business of the
House of Morgan has become public business
because it uSeS-in some cases misuses-the
publics money
Congress never will be able to draft effec-
tive remedial legislation to plug income tax
holes and to regulate the machine of high
finance if the facts are shut up in a commit
tee room. Nor can the public Judge whether
the committee and congress are protecting the
MorganS instead Of the public interest unless
the facts are known to all.
Virtually no reform came out of the equal
ly spectacular Puio investigation Congress
did not do its job then. If the present con-
gress is moved by the same spirit which has
caused its committee to withhold facts from
the open hearing there is cause for public
apprehension.
The test of congress will come when it
votes on the resolution to increase the funds
and powers of the committee and investigat-
ing staff. Mr.. Pecora and his able staff have
achieved much but they have not begun to
reach bottom.
Is the investigation to be hampered by lack
of funds while congress goes home for the
summer and autumn vacation?
Is the investigation to be hampered by in
adequate committee powers which can be
challenged at every turn by the bankers
lawyers?
Congress should vote 100000 for the pur-
pose-the investigation is costing the gov
eminent nothing, in fact, because it already
has resulted in changing the revenue measure
to save the general taxpayer much more than
the committee appropriation.
Presumably there will be no difficulty in
getting all the money necessary to continue
the investigation.
Apparently, however, there are some in con-
gress who would restrict the powers of the
committee. It's present powers are made
quate. Mr.. Pecora repeatedly has brought out
in the hearings the failure of the MorganS to
cooperate with his investigators.
In the future this should not be left to the
temper of the Morgans The committee
should be able to go into the Morgan books
without hindrance. The authority should be
so clear that it can not be nluddied by clever
Wall Street lawyer. That is the only way to
get the whole picture, which is necessary be-
fore intelligent laws can be drafted for regu-
lation of the money trust.
Three things are essential for completion
of this investigation, none of which has been
provided. They are:
Adequate funds
Complete authority.
An end to secrecy.

1 wonder if this lady in question
were to meet with any accident and
perhaps death, would the Demo-
critic party in office have to re-
sort to finding another person in
the Republican ranks to fill her
place? AS to her efficiency, she
received her job for being a faith
full party worker and gained her
experience in that line at the OK
pense of taxpayers, and now con-
siders herself indispensable.
If she and her family voted for
the Judge while she was holding a
Republican job, she was a traitor to
her party and should have been
fired at once, and not permitted to
play the game at both ends and in
the middle.
I claim no acquaintance with our
Governor, but admire his business
methods, and hope he will get rid Of
all bipartisan leeches. That done,
our state, counties, cities, towns and
townships will have better efficiency
and honest officials, if made to con-
duct their Offices and be responsible
to rules of our party.
