American artist to represent this truth

Aspen Trumbull's personality is
shown as three-dimensional-as he is
to his father, his wife and his cousin,
who is more important in his life than
the average cousin. His father, Banks
Trumbull, wealthy and ultra-con-
servative New York banker, never ac-
cepts the fact that Aspen is COM
pletely the child of his French mother
and cannot understand his choosing
painting for a career instead of the
comfortable position awaiting him in
finance. His wife, Hannah Mueker,
blond and blowsy artists model, with
whom Banks thinks 1t entirely unnec-
essary that his son should establish
any permanent relationship, regards
Aspen as "a gentleman" loves him for
his kindness and gentleness, but is un-
comprehending as regards his art.
His French cousin, Helene Damartin,
of Coutances, with whom as boy he
was in love, and whom he loves again
years later when she comes to America
with her French diplomat husband,
appreciates Aspen as an artist, but
critically, and probably estimates his
sensitive, aloof character more accu-
rately than do any of the others who
know him. Mr.. Hawkins method of

Better Living May Be Key.


Since 1929 the situation has grown
more rather than less serious. AS the
depression deepened, income dropped
faster than living cost; and under sin
cere but not always closely correlated
recovery efforts living costs have risen
faster than income.
In the American families now living
at these economic levels is to be found
the vast unexpected market to the
effective development of which busi-
ness and industrial leadership should
bring its highest genius.
have rapidly waning confidence in
purely political schemes for equipping
these millions with buying power. 1t
is, I think, juvenile to assume that by
revising our taxing program drastic
ally upward We can turn the trick by
taking money out of one pocket and
putting it in another. To transform
these poverty-bo millions into pay
ing customers calls for something
more fundamental than a wider dis
tributton of the national income as
we have known 1t. 1t calls for q vast
extension Of the national income; it
calls for a speeding up rather than a
slowing down of our productive
energy.
Nothing but panicky thinking could
have given vogue to the notion that,
with one-third of our population at
the poverty level when the prosperity
curve reached an all-time high at the
end of the decade in 1929, and with
perhaps one-half of the American
people within the poverty range in
1888, we had reached point at which
our social salvation and economic re-
covery depended upon throwing the
brakes on our productive energy

Stabilization Is Urged.

Stabilization Is Urged.
We must stabilize our enterprise.
If private leadership does not, then
public leadership must try. But we
must draft our plans for stabilization
with the utmost care. A false stabili-
zation will simply put a bit in the
teeth of the wild horse of production
slowing down his pace until he trots
amiably along at the same gait the
tanner horse of current consumption is
able to maintain. The key to any true
stabilization of our enterprise lies in
bringing the rate of growth in pur-
chasing power up to the rate of growth
in producing power. It is the small
talk of small men to say that the
market. as we know it, should willy
nilly dictate production.
We must be careful lest our pro-
grams of stabilization turn out to
have been processes Of sterilization.
To play down our productive powers
may well result in a stabilization Of
want rather than q stabilization of
welfare.
The productive energy we have gen.
Grated can, under an economics of
plenty. be mankind's hope. Under an
economics of scarcity, it may prove
hangman's moose.
Scientific and technical leadership
have abolished the physical necessity
OF poverty in the United States. 1t
| remains for political and economic
leadership to abolish the social fact Of
poverty and its milder manifestation
of underconsumption. All the neces-
sary tools are In our hands for eman-
cipating the race from poverty, drudg-
cry and insecurity. If now we fail to
effect this emancipation We shall 90

benefit of its workers, it is essential
to the achievement of that wider dis
tribution of leisure which. alongside
of a wider distribution of the national
income, is imperative if our economy
of science, technology and power pro-
duction is to have an adequate and
assured market for its vast output.
Wage Situation Analysed.
And, finally, we cannot save from
collapse an economy of science, tech
nology and power production if we
cling to the philosophy of wages that
arose before the era Of power pro-
duction. We are still attempting to
determine wages in terms of the
number of hours a man spends on
Job. 1t is too late to do that. We
have moved into the power age, IN
which, from the strictly economic
point of view, the person at work Is
less significant than the power avail
able for getting the work done.
From 1919 to 1929, in 40 repre-
sentative industries, horsepower ca
pacity increased so per cent, while
the number of employees increased
less than 6 per cent, and since 1929,
even while crisis has been freezing
so much of our enterprise, inventive
genius has been going without sleep
in its feverish effort to find ways
and means of doing the worlds work
with more power and fewer people.
If modern enterprise is to remain
actively profitable and retain the
confidence of the masses we must
begin to determine wages in terms
of the amount of power expended
rather than in terms of the amount
of time spent in producing goods.
This is a revolutionary consideration
which neither the business man nor
the economist has yet fully analyzed
or fully admitted.
If we are not to take the defeatist
road of q drastically reduced pro-
duction we shall be obliged to de-

tury, family of Dissenters, Rolfe left
school at Is, idled for time as an
unattached student at oxford, became

He was a consistent failure, as far as

Though a devout Catholic, he was in
continual controversy with the hier-

"Hadrian the Seventh" he scarified
most of his acquaintance, though he
spared his relatives, an unexplainable
omission and lost opportunity. His

Less Milk for Ba bieS>>-

"A is the order of the New York State
Milk Control Division. That brings quart
of milk to Is cents. The dairy farmer gets
two cents for it, and slaves at the rate of
two cents an hour for his labor.
The Wall Street monopolies get the diff
ference in a steady stream of golden prof

troled by Morgan banks other Wall Street in
terests get the benefit Of the States ruling. The
new ruling means s1s,OOOOOO more year for them.
The State Commission. applying the Roosevelt
policies of the A, A A, wants to accomplish three
things: One, to reduce the supply of milk through
reduced production. There is too much milk" say
these capitalist officials while literally millions of
working class babies face disease worse for lack
of milk. Secondly, the State wants to drive the
small producer and the small distributor out of
business leaving the monopoies in full control Of
the situation. And thirdly, all this is summed up
in the main purpose of raising milk prices to keep
profits high.
1t is this which makes ironic the hypocrisy of
the milk trusts who exclaim in indignation that
they are having these new profits forced upon them
by cruel Milk Commission! The Commission is
doing exactly what they are instructed to do by
the monopolies whom they serve.

"T traditional Diferentials"

FTER insisting on extending the 10 per
"A cent wage cut for railroad workers,
President Roosevelt obliged the Southern
capitalists, closely connected with Wall
Street, by slashing the code wages for
miners from $3.50 day to $3.50. In this
way, Roosevelt widened by a deeper gap
the already existing differentias between
wages in the North and South.
At the same time. Roosevelt ordered the 200
Negro and white miners in Birmingham to stop
their strike against the wage differentals and to
bow down to their traditional low wages and i'm
conditions.
In fact, Roosevelt declared it is principle OF
the N. r, A. to maintain and enforce wage differ
entails to suit the needs of the bosses ON the
question of Southern wage dfferentials" he said in
a dictatorial letter to the Southern workers the
recovery act Secon 7c) recognizes diferentias ac-
cordng to locality. 1t is not the purpose of the
Administration, by sudden or explosive change to
impair Southern industry by refusing to recognize
traditional differentals"
THIS is great news to the Southern coal iron tex
tile and railroad magnates. Their policy of double
traditional differentials are upheld by President
Roosevelt and the N. r. A. The government or
ders the Negro workers to accept their dfferentias
and the white workers of the South to kow-tow to
the lower wages enforced on them.
As the Daily Worker pointed out in previous
editorial this is not a blow against Southern Ne
sro and whte labor alone. It hits the entire Amer
