A. L. Better Balanced Than in Decade, Says Cochran

Manager, Detroit Tigers.

matter where a lot of major league
ball clubs wind up this year. in
Guiding the Tigers, 1 am sure more
aggressive spirit will be shown on
the field and that the games will
he more hotly contested.
The American League, to my
mind. is better balanced than at
any time in the 10 years I have
been in the circuit. Fellows like
Bucky Harris, Rogers Hornsby,
Walter johnson, Joe Cronin and
myself-all either in new job or
with comparatively brief experience
as a manager-will have the teams
hustling right from the start.
More clubs figure they have
chance to be in the pennant hunt
than usual. No team is really out
clasSed, SO far as can see, and a
few good breaks for one club or
another might upset all advance
calculations.
Visions First Division.
I consider the Senators and the
Yankees as the clubs Detroit must
beat if we are to be up there fight
ing for the championship. I feel
sure we have a real first division
prospect, but would not care to
make a fiat prediction on where
the Tigers will finish. Base bail
has too many uncertainties to start
trying to pay off before the race
is even begun.
There is not team in the league
outside OF Washington which
hasn't at least one or two doubtful
spots in the lineup. If the men
we have available come through
at third base anu shortstop; il
we get the power We expect from
batters like Goose Goslin and big
Hank Greenberg, our first base
man, and if our pitching staff
measures up to all the real stuff
I know it's got-why, you will be
hearing from us right up to and
including September.
I have no hesitation in saying I
think we have the best pitching in
the league, with the possible ex-
ception OF Cleveland. Tom Bridges,
Fred Marberry and Vic Frasier will
DO the heaviest work and most
consistent winning. aided by Elon

MERGING SCIENCE AND SOCIOLOGY.

Science has tended to disturb the religious social, economic and political status quo and has been the subject of less public interest, reports the members of the Science Inquiry at the University Wisconsin and it recommends that the interpretation of the work of investigator in the natural science fields should not be left entirely tc others
 The Science Inquiry" initiated by pr Glenn Frank, President of the University, and was participated in by 200 members of the faculty The report was written by Professors C. K. Leith E. B. Fred Harry Steenbock and Chester Lloyo Jones.
 The report holds that the university treatment of problems in the combined field of natural and social science has been too much departmentalized that there is a promising field of cooperative effort between social and natural science still un- occupied, and that in the natural sciences par ticularly not enough attention is being given to the social bearing of scientific findings

The Physicians Part.
(NeW York Times.)

(NeW York TlmeS)
 | Falling death rates during the depression are declared by high medical authority not sufficient cause for optimism Death rates not "sen- sitive index of ill-health and do not promptly measure decreased resistance to disease" We still have to face the full impact of depression on vitality But one saving factor is to be reckoned on in bad times as well in good-the service of the physician This is too little appreciated The London Times recently made a special plea for the payment of doctors bills by those who have had the benefit of their attention. Even when the physician is not paid because of the poverty of his patients his contribution to public health should at least have its due credit
 The doctor is in a peculiarly difficult position The sick in their need cannot be expected not to call doctor and the doctor cannot decline to respond unless he is paid in cash has the ance of prompt payment. He is not in the category of the merchant or the worker under salary or wage. He is under the compulsion of his skill as well as of his own humane feeling-to answer every call. This is part of the definition of his occupation It would bring his profession into odium it would the individual if he were to refuse to go to the patient though there were no certainty of compensation AS matter of fact much of the average physicians skill is given with the certainty that there will be payment except gratitude-and he cannot always be sure of that
 Many excuse their delay in paying the doctor, or their complete neglect of their obligation to him, by pleading their own limited means; but it is at pest SelSIIeSS or at WorSI something one neStateS to say, not to economize in spending for things not necessary in order to meet doctors bill As i. is, the physician sets an example of unselfish service to other professions and even to trade Without his indispensable skill freely generously given the depression would be far worse than it has been That the death rate is not higher is in part due to that service seldom if paid in full It is still much it was in other times:
 God and the Doctor we alike adore
 But only when in danger not before The danger o'er both are alike re- ouited--

ICKES STATES CASE.

Ex-President Hoover's articles in recent and cur rent issues of the Saturday Evening Post, his first expressions on political and governmental topics since he left the White House well worth read ing. While we do not agree with either his premise or his conclusions, they valuable in that they accurately portray the philosophy of government that motivated the Hoover regime from 1929 to 1855 They betray the same neptness and lack of appfe- citation of knowledge of the average human beings reactions and mental processes that made his own administration the most unpopular in modern times That he is honestly concerned about recent develop ments cannot be doubted. He is sincere in his conviction that the country is the way to serious trouble if the Roosevelt Administration is not halted.
 Following the publication of the original article Secretary Ickes of the Interior Department and PWA chieftain, declared

Mass Housing in England.
Cincinnati Enauirer)

tClnclnnaIl EnqulrerD
 England is generally cited as a proper example of the conservative this country should follow in avoiding governmental ventures into the historic domain of private enterprise It is quite true that England has managed to realize sub- stantial revival of its private capital market in contrast to the situation in America. But when we examine British policy in this respect we find that it has gone farther in departing from lassez faire indvidualism than have we. This is notably true in the matter of low-cost housing
 The formally stated policy of the British Gov ernment, adopted under the leadership of the Con- servative Party is to assume responsibility pro- viding suitable housing for every workers family at rental within his means. As a policy this is more far-reaching than anything America has under taken, even though we have few spectacular housing projects more completely dominated by the Government than any projects in Great Britain In the last Is years the British have built 1 : l6O,0O0 houses for workers involving in each case the cooperation of private enterprise and public authority. as well as public funds Their cur rent plans for further mass housing involve the construction of possibly million houses of brick and stone with a minimum of five rooms. to cost not more than $l,700 each, including the land With amortization of the cost over 60 years if is planned to rent these homes at about sl1 month This is based on an estimated income of s125O a week.
 The ability of the British to build adeouate houses at such low figure explains why they use a combination of private enterprise and public authority. The attempts of the American Govern ment to foster mass housing schemes through linn ited dividend companies last year were defeated Iby the insufficiency of private capital and the excessive cost of construction It seems unlikely that we shall be able to duplicate the performance lof the English along this line
 Ferhaps the important fact to remember s tha, lpuphc housing schemes in America are no more than tentative experiments, and that the Enpsr have actually gone much farther in projecting the government into the business of providing iowcos homes

COOPERATION UNDER NRA.

Early in the work of the MIRA it was declared that main object of the recovery program would be the restoration of balance in American economic life. The degree of progress attained in recovery from the depression may be measured in the terms of the achievement of balance as month by month the fundamental work has gone forward.
 When the recovery act approved in June, 1883, the economic world was out of joint, to paraphrase Hamlet, and the NRA was devised to set it right Agriculture, industry. trade and commerce, communications, all were out of balance. Whole families homeless in the shadow of vacant houses-the populace starving in front of full groceries. This must not be forgotten now.
 It necessary to keep in mind the ideal of restoring balance the Herculean task of bringing the business of the entire country under codes of fair competition progressed. There always a danger that field of endeavor would be aided at the expense of the others
 The task before MIRA has not been lightened- it may even have been rendered greater-now that the problem is one of code revision and consoida- tion There is greater need than for CO., operation among all the elements that go to make up the American populace. that long Unbalanced trio: Capital, Labor and the Public. Industry and trade cannot prosper if agriculture in the death throes and there be security for either industry agriculture if millions out of jobs.
 The first steps toward better days were taken through the cooperation of the business forces o the country in formulating codes All cooperative agreements require certain surrender of ndividua liberty just an governments based upor compromise in the interests of the greatest gooc for the majority.
