and all Is finished.
It may be true, as Mussolini, Hitler
and Renal agree, that human beings
in their republics and democracles'
have shown inability to govern them
selves. But government by kings has
failed also. Whether king lives or
dies makes little difference except that
sometimes the change from one king
to another may excite Communists
and other "Reds," causing unpleasant
demonstrations.
France, needing Belgium as a buffer
state, so useful in delaying the Ger
mans in the big war, worries little
about Belgian Communists Other
wise, the death of the good-natured,
friendly Belgian king means nothing.
Mr.. Richard 81. Grant, who under
stands business, having distributed
many hundreds of millions of valuable
merchandise, believes that America
is due for three or four years of pros
perity, induced by the stimulus of gov
eminent spending" At the end of the
three or four years of prosperity, more
or less artifically provided, Mr.. Grant
thinks "the natural world recovery will
come itself and l think be well under
way when government spending stops"
Nine out of ten business men feel
as Mr.. Grant feels, but they all know
that when you change patient from
strong medicines, stimulants, digitalis
to drive the heart, morphine to deaden
pain, etc., you must do it carefully.
The change from Uncle Sans money
to money "that you earn yourself" will
have its difficulties.
Henry Ford has dismissed the de-
preston from his mind. 1T is ended"
said he, mot for this or that one of
hundred reasons, but because the peo-
pie have got tired of it. When they
get really tired of thing, they go to
work and end it."
If every man will do the thing that
he knows how to do, as we'll as he
possibly can do it, there will be no
more trouble, in Mr.. Ford's opinion.
He believes that President Roosevelt
has made no mistake thus far, and
says, "The American dollar will al
ways be good dollar and a real dol
lar, not a 60-cent dollar, either. You
can no more compare our money with
other money than you can compare our
country with other countries.
"The value of money depends on
what it will buy. The dollar will al
ways buy anything"
The antics of gold, rising and fall
ing, rushing in here when we go "of''
it, amuse Mr.. Ford. He never had any
high opinion of gold. Men, ideas and
work are what count, for him.
Army planes are carrying the mails.
Army pilots are doing the work, not
any better than the highly trained air
mail pilots, but just as well. It is
to be hoped that army air mail pilots
will be well paid, at least as well as
the commercial pilots, and that as
many Of the latter as care to do so
will find employment in the army air
mail service, with pay as good as that
which they had received, or better.
This use of army planes and flyers
for carrying mails, made necessary nv
the conviction of President Roosevelt
and Postmaster General FARLEY that
private air mail contracts have been
vitiated by fraud, may prove of great
value to this country.
