REFORMERS AND HMAN
NATURE

Our observation of reformers is
that they are always in too much
of a hurry. We haven't anybody
especially in mind, but we see and
hear of lots of good people who
think the world ought to be made
over at once. 80
AS far as we have read about
what has gone on in the world in
the past, there have been lots of
tries at remodeling human nature,

Bill Illegal

Washington.-The railway re-
tirement act was held unconstitu-
tional Wednesday in a ruling hand
ed down by District Supreme Court
Justice Alfred A. Wheat. The
opinion holds Congress went beyond
its powers, in the light of the in
terstate commerce clause in the
Constitution. The 1876 major
railways were compelled under the
act to deduct 2 per cent of salaries
of employees and to add twice as
much from the railways funds to
set up a retirement system.

At 10 O'Clock every morning,
Eastern Standard Time, and at $50
O'Clock every evening, those who
are tuned in on any one of l18
~broadcasting stations hear a FIVE
minute review of the high-lights Of
the days news. 1t comes to them
without any advertising tagged to
it. 1t is furnished, free of cost, BY
the newspapers of the United States
through the three great press new
associations, the Associated Press
the United Press and the Interna-
tional News Service. And several
times a day "flash'' bulletins of i'm

lopments are broadcast in the same

This news hat you get from
Press Radio Service is accurate, de-
pendable and reliable news. Why?
Because it is newspaper news. There
is no other source of news that car
be relied upon except the newspap-
ers. A great many people have the
foolish idea that newspapers do no,
give them all the news; that some
mysterious forces operate to sup.
press news. 1t is often much NOR
interesting to listen to unfourdec
and sensational rumor than to reae
the plain facts; and a great many
persons are credulous enough to be.
lieve rumor in preference to facts.
Many large advertisers have tr;ee
to hitch their advertising broad
casts to radio news. They cannon
do SO, unless they gather, their owr
news. Newspaper news, such as i
broadcast by Press Radio, is not fo1
sale. Any other kind of news i

U. S. To Acquire 100000
Acres OF Farm Lands
THIS WEEK IN
WASHINGTON

by any process short of monetary
initiation.
There was quite a furry over the
coincidence of Senator BuIkley's
statement, after a visit to the White
House, that the dollar might be
further devalued, and the call on
the President, on the same day, of
Professor Warren of Cornell, who is
supposed to be responsible for some
of the more radical of the Admini-
STATIONS monetary policies. Mr..
Roosevelt took pains to make it
lclear that he was not contemplating
any inflationary moves at this time.
But he delivered quite an impress
sive lecture on his intention to raise
commodity prices still further.
1t turns out that the price level
of 1926, which has been assumed to
be the goal at which the Admins
tration was aiming, is not that, pre-
lcisely. The effort is to be the es-
Enlistment of the parity between
farm prices and manufactured
commodity prices which existed be-
fore the war.
Just how this is to be brought
about the President did not explain.
He thought relative prices of many
commodities were out of line, which
leads to the belief that a material
reduction in some prices will be
countenanced and encouraged from
Washington.
Lower prces, many manufacture
iers and distributors have been
pointing out, will mean more sales
and consequently a larger volume
of business and increased employ
iment. In some quarters the Presi-
dents remarks are interpreted as in
dicating that the Administration is
prepared to abandon its effort to
raise wages first and to force all
prices up to pay the higher wages,
but is willing to let business try
lower prices, in some consumer
goods, to meet the pocketbooks of a
public that is counting its pennies
more carefully than ever before.
Nevertheless, the warning came
from the Administration itself that
meat prices and other prices of farm
products are due for much greater
increases than have yet come about.
The efforts of the AAA to raise
farm incomes must be supplement-
ed, many observers here believe, by
inflationary measures if they are
to succeed.
There is beginning to be talk
about years" that will be required
for complete recovery. The idea
that anything of vital importance
can be made to happen in a few
weeks or a few months is losing
supporters. There is a pretty gen
eral consensus in Washington that,
while recovery is definitely on its
way, and material progress has been
made, it is futile to think of 1885
or SO or even, perhaps, 1910, as
the time when the nations econo-
mic situation will be as good as it
was, say, in 1926.

TODAY AND
FRANK PARKER STocKBRIDGE
and trade boom


The Chinese Government ha.
protested to the United States Gov
eminent against the policy Of buy
ing silver, which has forced the
price of the metal up in the worle
markets to nearly so cents ar
ounce. China has levied an exPor,
tax on silver, so much was being
drawn out of that country.
Regular readers of this column
will remember that I pointed out.
more than three years ago, thar an
increase in the price of silver to its
pre-war average would make it im-
possible for China and other silver
money countries to compete unfair
ly with the gold-standard nations
in international trade. The silver
policy adopted at Washington ha:
had just that effect.
AS an amateur economist, | want
to register another guess about i'll
ternational money. 1t will not be
very long now before France de-
values the franc again, and the
other gold-standard nations will
follow suit. Then a complete
equalization of the values of the
~currencies of all nations will be-
possible and international tradt
will begin to boom again all over
the world.
PRODUCTION distribution
One good result of the depres-
sion and the consequent efforts Of
thousands of intelligent thinkers te
find out what caused it and how tc
prevent another one, is that W.
have learned, for the first time, d
lot of facts hat nobody knew
about our economic system.
When we have all the facts may
be somebody can do something
about it, though it takes a Ions
time for facts to become generally
known. A lot of loose talk ha.
been heard in the past few year.
about "over-production." Mer
have been disciplined for denying
that America was producing more
goods than we could consume. But
now it has been ascertained, with
what seems to me convincing de-
%hniteness, that in almost every line
1of industry the equipment for pro-
iduction is far below what would
be needed if everybody were to be
supplied with all the goods he
needs.
The problem is one of distribu-
ton, and that is not going to be
solved in a day. But l think we
are coming out of the depression
with a great deal more accurate
knowledge on this and many other
economic problems.
WAR doubtful
Maybe, by the time this appears
in print, the nations of Europe will
be flying at each others threats,
but | doubt it. l do not believe
that the assassination of King AL
exander of Jugoslavia will preci-
pitate a war. That is not to saw,
however, that no European country
wants something that it can only

R then and now

tMORALS then and now
l am not one of those who believe
that the moral standards of the hui
man race are deteriorating. l DOM
know that l would say they are inn
proving, but, taken by and large:
| think there is little difference be-
tween the morals of 1884 and those
of the period of my own Adde'S
cense, say 1884.
The principal difference is that
people talk and write more about
breaches of morals than they used
to in the days when such things
were not discussed in public. Boys
and girls behave about the same as
they used to, and l think about the
only difference is that there is less
parental restraint. There are more
divorces, true, but that doesn't sig
nifty hat there weren't as many
grounds for divorce fifty years ago
as now. 1t is simply that it is no
longer regarded as disgraceful to be
divorced.
just now many things are
done and exploited publicly that
used to be regarded as strictly pri-
vate affairs. The pendulum will
swing back, as it has many times
in the course of history, and we
shall see another era of hushing up
moral lapse instead of magnifyins
or glorifying them.

l THANK YOU.

ISSS ~ 6OS
l was in Italy a couple of years
ago. Everywhere l saw and heard
evidence that Mussolini's govern
Iment wants to control the eastern
coast of the Adriatic, which is
Jugoslavia. Also, l heard much
talk about Italy's desire to regain
the whole Riviera, as far west as
IMarseilles, from France. Italy wants
to control the sea routes of the
Mediterranean and is jealous of any
other nation that might have a mo-
tive in shutting her off from her
supplies of fuel oil, coal and the
products of her African colonies.
If Europe had recovered hnan-
cially from the last war, the pres
ent situation would look more war
like to me. l don't think any ma
ton, except possibly France, could
finance a war at this time; nor do
/ believe any of them wants to
fight.
PEACE resolutions
l have to smile, though somewhat
sadly, at the numerous peace move
,,ments among well-meaning persons
who haven't the remotest notion of
the cause of war. Ladies' sewing
circles adopting resolutions against
war will never bring peace.
l counted up a while ago the
major wars that had been fought in
the world since the United States
declared its independence. They
totalled more than thirty. Our ma
ton was only involved in even of
them. But let some able propa-
lgandist convince the people of the
United States that some other ma
ton is treading on our toes, or
threatening to deprive us Of some
of our rights on the seas, and see
how quickly the young men of
America will rush to enlist for war!
l do not expect to live to see the
last threat against the worlds peace
removed. My great-grand- children,
if such there be, will not see it.
Meantime, peace societies will con-
tinue resoluting but wise statesmen
will be preparing for war in time
of peace.
