it could not have done better than to have
chosen DR.. Diefenbach as its religious editor.
DR.. Diefenbach has had a distinguished
career as editor Of the Christian Register,
for the last fifteen years. In articles and edi-
torials he has done as much as any other
American to make US realize the tremendous
changes in religious thought which have come
about since the close Of the World war.
He long has been recognized as the most
effective fundamentals batter among our
religious writers. His onslaughts upon ren-
gious reaction have been dignifed but devas-
tating. His writings did more than anything
else to bring to a head the latent feeling which
lay behind the Scopes evolution trial in Ten
nessee that did so much to make extreme
fundamentalism appear ridiculous to the
thoughtful American public He will now have
an opportunity to make equally uncomfortable
Boston fundamentalism which centers at Ire
mont Temple and elsewhere.
There are two schools of thought prevailing
among those who do any progressive think
ing in religion One holds that religion to-
day is an outworn nuisance which never can
be enectlVely brought up 10 date. Another
large group, and by no means benighted one,
holds that religion may be a great social asset
if modernized and brought into harmony with
the elementary facts Of psychology and the
natural and social sciences.
Whether one belongs to the first school or
to the second, he can welcome the installation
of DR.. Diefenbach in position of larger re-
sponsibilities and opportunities Religious
issues are bound to be with us for long time
and we should encourage every effort to have
them dealt with in broadminded and toler-
ant fashion. The Boston Transcript may be
congratulated for having the alertness, imagi-
nation and daring 70 take a step which will
place it in the vanguard of American Journal
ism with respect to religious enlightenment.

WE CAN TAKE IT!

THE salvation of America lies in its ability
Il to take licking with a smile.
A severe licking it has taken, there is no
doubt; as have nearly all other nations of the
world. But the American people refuse to
take life so seriously as to believe that this is
the end, that happiness is only for the I'M
seeing and illusioned that the state of affairs
in which we have found ourselves will con-
tinue ad infnitun.
The brightest exemplar of this philosophy
is President Roosevelt himself. No president
since Lincoln, not even Wilson, had more
reason to worry and fret over his troubles
than does he.
Yet there is hardly picture of him that
doesn't show his contagious smile, there is
hardly an interview that doesn't carry line
of happiness and hope.
Imagine NTussolini, Hitler, a Stain in
the same situation. A photograph of any one
of these dignitaries with a smile on his face
is worth remembering for all time.
Perhaps the Italians, the Germans and the
Russians have much more cause to be sonber
and sad than have we in America. To be
sure, they have had to suffer the consequences
of the last war much more than We.
But it has not helped the European peoples
any to acquire such dour leaders to help them
ont of their troubles.
1t is a serious business, of course, to be
wanting for clothes and nourishment. But is
there anything so serious as to lack a CLEAN
Of brightness and cheer somewhere within it's
folds?
There is misery aplenty in this country,
and those of us who are more fortunate than
the rest should keep this in mind AT the
same time, however, we never should relin-
quish that sense OF hunor which distinguishes
us from the other nations.
It is our saving grace. 1t prevents revolu-
ton and turmoil. 1t gives us a point of view
apart from our very condition and permits
us to judge ourselves from a cool and sane
attitude.
1t is such that, if we had a Hitler instead
Of Roosevelt to lead us, we long ago would
have laughed him down

UNCLE SAM. ART PATRON

a S the loveliest flowers often grow out of
L muck so an American folk art may grow
out Of the depression.
Assistant Treasury Secretary Robert has
announced that the Civil Works Administra-
ton will set aside substantial sum to employ
jobless artists in the decoration of public
buildings, federal, state and municipal. A
committee of which the artist Edward Bruce,
is secretary, is arranging details.
Here is an adventure in beauty. It is a
doubly happy plan. Hundreds of artists, many
too destitute to buy food and clothing, will
find wages and freedom of expression in their
chosen craft as government workers. And the
United States, singularly lacking an art tradi
ton Of its own. may find itself the richer in
muralS, sculpture and other works interpretive
Of the American scene. 1t is interesting that
while we have let our artists sell their wares
at the whim of rich patrons our neighbor
Mexico has been substituting such great artists
as Diego Rivera and Jose Crozco to paint
majestic native murals on the walls of her
public buildings.
We are glad that the new deal administra-
ton has the idea that men do not live by
bread alone.

: THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
TO INVEST IN HOMES

TT seems incredible that nine million families
nearly one-third of the whole number in
the United States, are living in houses unfit
for human habitation; yet Dr. Edith Elmer
Wood, consultant for the new Federal Housing
Corporation, says this is a fact.
Slums of our large cities are VIGOROUSLY
bad-they suffer by comparison with almost
all European cities. Yet the shameful record
does not end there. Small towns, country
villages, where the air is supposed to be pure
and healthful, have homes with open cess
pools, with polluted water supplies, with f1imsy
houses giving insufficient protection from the
cold and wet.
Fifteen billion dollars a year, says DR..
Wood, is the cost Of bad housing in sickness,
premature death, and crime.
So when she proposes federal expenditure of
two billion dollars Cor decent, low-coSt homes,
the amount does not seem too great.
If housing reform were the only thing to
be bought with this money-if it were to do
nothing but remove a national disgrace-the
money would be we'll spent. But the govern
ment economists tell us we can buy still more
with dollars spent in this way. They tell us
we can buy ourselves back to economic security
if we spend literally for housing. We can
provide the same sort of business revival
through construction and consequent aid to
heavy industries that expansion of the auto
mobile industry brought about in 1920.
When the country was at war we spent
$42 ,O00 900 900 and did not count the cost. The
investment brought Us troubles worse than we
had known before. If we spend for decent
housing there will be no such aftermath.
There will, instead, be an advance toward
civilization rather than away from it.
American dollars, borrowed by European
countries after the war have provided work.
ers of those cities with comfortable, sanitary
and attractive homes. It is time American
dollars were put to work doing the same thing
for our own people.

M. E.TracySays:'

T HAVE grandson. He is nearly year old.
4 AS far as I can see he acts the same as
babies did before the depression. He looks out
on the world with unclouded eyes, and laughs
Just as if there were no great problems to be
solved. often wish that could see the world
as he does, could ignore the gloom and pessi-
miSm with the same nOnchalance. could once,
and that is the all-important point.
What have I learned that should make me
scared and perplexed? What is there about age
that creates all this alarm and apprehension?
Sometimes it seems as though the older we
grow and the shorter time we have to live, the
more we worry about what we can get or what
we can't Sometimes it seems as though the
more things we have the more we want.
Sitting down alone, I find it easy to argue
that knowledge, science and machinery have
given us untold advantages. Sitting down with
the average group of people find it easy to fall
in with the universal spirit Of detection and the
universal perpleXity as to what will happen next.
T CAN not get rid of the thought that our So
i called communion Of minds is on the wrong
track that we are inclined to see the dark side
rather than the bright side Of things and that
our alleged appetite for criticism is not only
emotional but dominated by the emotion Of
fear
No doubt fear has place in the scheme of
things. without it, we would get into great
deal of unnecessary trouble, but in the main
it is something to be overcome, not encouraged.
Justif1able as it may be to avoid mistakes and
accidents. we must keep that confidence which
characterizes the unspoiled outlook of child
hood. After ALL what are we but grown-up
children, playing at games which may be little
more complicated, but that are games neverthe-
less and learning little except to refine and con-
troll our elemental feelings?
believe that the doctrine of child leadership
is as sound today as it was when first put for
ward nearly 1000 years ago. I believe that all
of US can learn something important and some
thing valuable by studying the carefree view
point of those who have just emerged from the
darkness into light.
THERE comes time when We have lived in
l. the light too long TO appreciate its ad-
vantages, when we have thought too much about
of what little consequence most of them are,
when we have grown unreaSonably afraid, not of
realities but of DOGGY men conjured into being
out of our fancy
There is no denying the pitfalls with which
human existence is surrounded, or the blurders
to which human nature is liable but there is
also no denying the fact that courage, inteli-
gence and alertness represent the only way in
which to overcome them.
We only make ourselves worse of by worry
ing too much about obstacles in the path. OBJ
stacles, as Dr. S. G. Howe once said, ARE things
to be overcome"

LOOK AT THE RECORD

TINE country is learning another thing
about public works program. That is,
that it actually will produce jobs in large
numbers.
We first learned that we would have to
pay for such a program in taxes. We next
learned that $3,3OO,OOOOOO could not be put to
work overnight, or even over period of two
or three months.
We now are learning that once under way,
a big public works program will yield mil
lions of jobs.
We finally will learn that the spending of
this money will have another beneficial re-
suit. That is, it will give us, collectively, a
high standard of living.
The figures on public works employment
have been made public by Interior Secretary
Ickes. the public works administrator. About
100000 men have been recalled to jobs be-
cause of PWA expenditures. Approximately
1,183267 men have been re-employed through
the civil works administration; about BAT, 623
have been given jobs by reason of the creation
of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and the
remainder are at work on jobs financed by
PWA funds.
The facts speak for themselves" said
Administrator Ickes.
They do; they speak happily and en-
phatically.

RELIGIOUS PROGRESS IN BOSTON

DACK in 1886, the governing authorities
- in the Massachusetts, Bay Colony. which
was scattered about what has since become the
city of Boston. drove out of its boundaries
two OF its important members because their
religious views did not exactly conform to
those held by the governing clique The out
casts were Roger Williams and Ann Hutchin-
son. the earliest notable figures in the history
of the struggle for religious liberty in America
Neither Williams nor Mrs. Hutchinson was
in any sense ungodly. In fact, they were very
devout Indeed. Mrs. Hutchinson was thrown
out because she was too devout. She had as
serted that the Massachusetts, Bay parsons
were more concerned about good works" than
they were about the indweIling of divine grace.
In the autumn Of 1888, the Boston Tran
script, the most ar1Stocratic and respectable
Boston newspaper, has taken on as its reli-
glous editor, the Reverend Doctor Albert c.
Dieffenbach author of the best book on ren-
gious liberty in the United States today. 1t
may be debated whether or not civic ideals
have advanced greatly in the Boston area in
the interval between Governor Bradford and
Mayor Curley or between Cotton Nather and
Judge Thayer But it is most obvious that re-
ngious liberty and tolerance have made enor-
nous strides in the Bay state in the last three
centuries.
Having often called attention to instances
of religious bigotry and intolerance in vari-
Gus parts of our country it is only fitting and
proper that We should be equally alert to COM
ment favorably upon this almost astonishing
example OF religious courage and enIghten-
ment.
It required real nerve on the part of the
Transcript TO take this step. Upton Sinclair
valiantly has commended that newspapers are
terrified and bulldozed by the bankers and
advertisers Of the community. 1t is a fact,
however. that newspapers are far more tinlid
in dealing realistically with religious prob
lens than they are with regard TO stepping on
the toes Of the vested economic interests.
DR.. Diefenbach is probably the most ag-
greSsive figure among the advanced modernist
theologians of the United States. He has even
vigorously criticised DR.. Harry Emerson Eos
dick on the grounds that he is too timid and
evasive in his theological position If the
Transcript had wished to wave a red flag in
the face Of the bull of Boston fundamentalisn.

Deafness Minimized by Science

To help people with this defect in
adjusting themselves to life, the
following commandments have
been suggested for the deafened:
l. Thou shalt frankly confess thy
deafness to myself and before thy
fellow-men. Let there be no deceit
nor false pride.
2. Thou shalt not covet thy neigh
boris hearing, but shalt rejoice that
thou liveSt in an age when thy
handicap can be made so small
8. Early and again shalt thou
consult thy biologist and accept
every scientific aid he can render.
T. ESchew the quack and his de-
vices. Easy and broad is the way
to his door and many there be that
find it.
s. Thou shalt join and work for
a League for the Hard of Hearing,
where thou wilt receive encourage
ment and stimulation for thyself
and wilt find happiness in serving
thy brother. Thus wilt thou march
forward with the federation army
that is alternating deafness through
out the world.

gressive hardness of hearing can

For some people in certain occu-
pations impaired hearing may
be an asset rather than a liability
The deafened bookkeeper or ma
chine operator minds his job and
does not spend time in gossiping
with those about him.
Deafness decreases distraction,
fosters constructive thought, and
aids reason. The cultivation of lip
reading is an exercise in perception
which tends to develop the intel

A great deal depends on the at

toward their handicaps and toward
life in general. If they tend to &C.

themselves to it, they can make
their lives satisfactory.

BASEBALL AND THE NRA

THE idea of putting organized baseball
= under NRA, with a code for players has
been preached by an official of the Wash
ington American League ball club.
How would this work out? At most the
ball player puts in only three or four hours
at the park in the afternoon. Perhaps he
could spend the rest of his time sweeping out
the grand stand. raking the diamond, etc.
One thing is pretty sure. The average ball
player is a canny bargainer. It's safe pre-
diction he would want tine-and-a-half pay
for double-headerS.

Tell 1t to the MOrOnS

NTOW, of course, none of us &C
L tually believes in any such fan
tastic figure save in the amusement
field or in politics.
The legend that a professor in
politics is an extraordinarily comic
figure still clings to much American
thought in spite of proof to the
contrary. Woodrow Wilson was a
tragic or an heroic figure, according
to your point of view, but I can't
remember that anybody ever
thought of him as comic. Indeed.
even Mr.. Wilson's bitterest foe
would be compelled to admit that
he was of a stature to dwarf Hard
ing. Coolidge and Hoover. who fol-
lowed after him in direct success
sion.
And even so, VIII Rogers or Al
Smith always can get some sort Of
laugh from their followers in an
attack upon the administration by
saying that somebody or other In
power is a college professor"
1t is strange that this Identified
ton should so readily be used as a
successful indictment. Many Ameri-
can families make grave sacrifices
to send their sons and daughters
to college, and they hardly would
do this if they actually believed
that their children were about to
receive instruction from men some
what smaller than Harry Stimson
or Charles Francis Adams.
To be sure, there is no such thing
as the college professor" He may
vary in age from late 20s to the
early 7Os and run all the way from
a stanch standpatism to a revolu-
tionary Communism.
On the whole, the old legend is
almost a topsy-turvy concept. TAX
ing the professors by and large, I
think that any neutral observer
would be inclined to complain that
the bunch yielded so small a strain
of Missionaries and impractical per-
sons.
