employment insurance laws. The
principles of unemployment insurance
have been tested as widely as genuine
collective bargaining, and never have
they been found wanting. Unemploy-
ment reserves stored up in good times
will release new floods of purchasing
power whenever business activity be-
gins to decline, and thus will mel
iorate, if not prevent, severe economic
depreSSionS. In addition, insurance
will put unemployment squarely up to
industry as a cost problem. The re-
suit will surely be a more careful
study of the economic causes of the
business cycle, leading to a greater
continuity Of industrial operations.
Recognition Not Accorded.
The final stabilizing influence that
should not be neglected is the ex-
penditure of governmental funds by
means of public construction. One
OF the greatest contributory factors
to the present business improvement
and the restored confidence accom-
panying it is the actual putting into
operation of the vast works program
under the national recovery act. The
weight of competent opinion is that
this line of endeavor should be con-
tlnued and expanded At the present
time applications for more than
$4,000, 100000 worth of useful projects
are on hand, and these constitute only
small fraction of the cumulative
deficit in capital goods activities
caused by the lull in the last four
years. While public works have been
appreciated as an emergency measure,
do not believe that enough recog-
milton has been accorded to their eco
nomic soundneSs as a permanent gov
ernmental function. There is very
little difference in economic effect be-
tween private industry doing con-
struction work, for which the public
pays by means of charges, and the
Government doing the same work, for
which the public pays through taxa
ton. In some instances the Govern
ment is the best judge of the social
oeSlrabillty of a project and has the
greatest ability to spread its cost fairly
over the public.
oy Illio QO IlOU IUedu LIldU Lfle
Government should usurp any of the
functions of legitimate private enter
prise. But I do decry the totally
fallaciouS objections that are raised
against public works, even when such
works. far from supplanting private
initiative, are designed to supplement
and stimulate when it is temporarily
stalled.
I believe that at this time we
should push forward triple program:
Unemployment insurance to stimulate
continuity in private industry, public
works to take up the business slack
which occurs despite our best efforts
and full protection of genuine COL
lective bargaining as the only method
OF insuring peaceful industrial rela-
tions and distributing income safely
and fairly. No item of this pro-
gram is inspired by the prejudices or
special interests of any one group;
in every particular its enactment and
operation will benefit the entire Ma
ton.

Who Are You?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

Riding of Yorkshire. Walter de Low
thorpe vas High Sheriff Of Yorkshire
in 1916, and the little church in the
Parish of Lowthorpe had for one of its
chaplains in the reign of Richard, II
Robert de Lowthorpe. The church
stood for many years and is thought
to have been built during the reign
Of Edward, III.
The pioneer settlers of the Lothrop
family in America were two brothers,
John and Mark of Yorkshire. John
left England in 1884 and the follow
ing year found him a minister of the
church at Scituate, Mass. We find
the name of Mark first mentioned in
the records of Salem, Mass. in 1643.
He later moved to Duxbury and finally
to Bridgewater.
A great many who bear the name of
Lothrop in America today trace their
lineage to this pioneer family.

stances TO downright tyranny. Freedom
of speech Is being curtailed. Political
discussions are carried on only behind
locked doors. The press is muzzled.
We have not yet, thank Godl fallen
so low. But 1t Is distressing to an old
fashioned liberal who still clings OBJ
stinately to the conviction that the
American system of Government and
the American tradition of freedom for
the individual are worth preserving, to
see the tide of reaction sweeping over
the United States under the labels OF
new deal or a new order 1t Is
alarming to see the Federal Govern
ment reaching out for more and more
power concentrated in the hands of
the Executive, interfering more and
more in business and personal activi-
ties. The mere fact that the motive is
fatherly and benevolent does not di-
minish the implied threat to American
institutions.
Unpatriotic Criticism.
Most alarming of all to any one who
believes in the American system is the
resentment of criticism and discussion
shown by the proponents of the new
deal. The President himself has char
acterized criticism which is unaccom-
panied by a suggested alternative pol
icy "as "unpatriotic" In this he alto
iyether misses the point, which Is that
what the country needs is the fullest
possible discussion of the fundamental
changes involved in many of the new
deal measures. We have a right to
know whittier these measures tend.
We have the duty, when We see that
their direction is away from all those
principles which We have long cher
ished, to call attention to this threat
ened change. To permit questions and
criticism TO be stified IS to surrender
one of the fundamental privileges Of
American citizenship.
In plain English, planned economy
Is the negation of the American sys-
TEN. It may be that when its impli-
cations have been thoroughly discussed
the nation as a whole will decide to
adopt it in place of the old American
system. When this happens those Of
us who still believe in liberalism will
have to bow to the new order; but, for
my own part, incline to paraphraSe
the words of the champion of Filipino
independence, Don Manuel Quezon,
and remark:
Better a government run like hell
upon a democracy than one run like
heaven by an autocracy."

presupposes autocracy In place Of de-
mocracy. 1t implies-if 1t works
vast increases in the power of the
Executive and a corresponding de-
crease in the rights Of the people. 1t
means the abdication of individual
initiative, the surrender of political
rights assured by the Constitution to
the individual and the community in
exchange for assisted direction from a
Federal bureaucracy. This means, in
short, new paternaliSm.
AS matter Of fact, II one may be
permitted a little platonic specula-

from freedom and back to servitude.

Europe Cited.
The new dealers insist that q

cause We have come to the end of an
era characterized by pioneering. Here
1t Is not amiSs to remark that the
European countries passed through
their pioneering stage thousand years
ago without having to resort to a
planned economy. Even If it be as
serted that We cannot escape a planned

If there were not so many signs that

This legislation embodies principles
that are commonplace in the Euro
pean countries where industrial re-
latiOnS are most tranquil and meri-
torious and where there has been
no surrender of democratic teach
| ingS to the arrogance of dictatorship
In this country the most amicable
dealings exist where freedom is an
actuality, and the most prolonged
bitter and disastrous conflicts are en-
gendered by its denial. The Federal
co-ordinator Of railroads, Mr., East
man, after years of intense applica-
| ton to all transportation problems,
and eight years after the passage of
the railway labor act, has just urged
Congress to pass a bill guaranteeing
railway labor substantive rights
/ practically identical to those which
l suggest for industry.
I now turn directly to the question
OF industrial peace, upon which our
future prosperity depends as much as
| upon balance between production
and consumptive capacity. Contrary
to the impression created by a few
| spectacular cases which have gained
public attention, there has been less
evidence of economic strife during the
| present revival period than during
similar eras in the past. The chief
reason for this good record, in my
opinion, is the guaranty of fair treat
ment which the recovery act extended
to workers, the unqueStionable willing
ness of most employers to promote
the exercise of this right and the
ability of the National Labor Board
to protect this right in most of the
cases where it was threatened by in

The labor disputes bill, if enacted
will enable the board to continue its
major function of peaceful concilia-
ton and mediation. 1t will not i'm
pose additional obligations upon en-
ployerS nor confer any new rights
upon employees. 1t will protect the
exercise Of old rights, preventing the
relatively few from corrupting the
good efforts of the many by unfair
tactics showing disregard for law and
public sentiment.
The motivating spirit is neither re.
lance upon governmental action moi
excessive Capitalization. 1t seeks
merely to preserve the basic condi-
tions of fairness and freedom which
will allow industry and labor tC

Only in this way can there result q

Gypsy Theme
Lends Color
to Caravan
Erik ChareII Production Is
Now on Screen at
Apollo.

Movie gOers who love the gay, the
lavish and the utterly different IL
screen entertainment ought to holo
a public celebration, it is said, and
complete with dancing in the
streets in honor of Caravan" the
memorable Fox Film musical spec
tacle which is appearing currently
upon the screen of the Apollo.
Caravan" is the first Erik
Charen film production made in
Hollywood, and it thought to serve
as a fitting introduction for the
continental director.
Lavishly produced at the Fox
studios, with Hungarian villages,
castles, inns and vast gypsy cara
vans swiftly alternating in the
backgrounds, Caravan" tells a ro-
mantle love story.
The setting is idyllic-the grape
country of Tokay during the wine
harvest, and a quartet of leading
players as vivid as the setting car
ries the story forward to a spec
tacular finish.
Loretta Young appears as the
countess, who loves and is loved by
the daShing gypsy musician. Charles
Boyer, favorite stage and screen
star of European audiences, is seen
in the latter role. Jean Parker and
Phillips Holmes complete the stellar
quartet.
Though Caravan" does not clas-
sify as the conventional screen
musical in any sense, music plays
an all important part in the smooth
and effortless flow of its story.
The music, especially composed
for the new photoplay by Werner
Richard Heymann, is of enormous
value in gaining this effect of ease
and flow.
In addition to the four leading
players, such personalities as
Louise Fazenda, Eugene Palette, c.
Aubrey Smith, Noah Berry and
Dudley Digges offer fine perform
ances in strong roles. Caravan"
was transcribed to the screen from
a story by Melchoir Lengyel.
