Lewisohn Sees Hope Of
World Linked to Ameri.
can Methods.

"The hope of the whole civilized
, world. politically speaking, is centered
right here in Washington" Ludwig

! declared in an interview here this
morning. Il recently spent 10 years
in Europe and the obvious contrast
between methods and objectives of
administration here and there en-
phasize the Importance of our eff
forts.
THE great and hopeful thing about
America is that we are trying to
make necessary readjustments in the
economic structure without depriving
the individual of his normal way Of
living. If we succeed. We will put
other countries with their dictators
and terrorism to shame. There never
has been a time in my life when an
American had so much cause to be
gald he is an American.
THE present administration has
attached to itself the loyalty of in
tellectualists as no other administra-
ton ever has done-or ever knew

Criticizes Writers.
Visiting Washington for an address
before a gathering last night at the
Jewish Community Center, Lewisohn
took occasion then, and again today
to criticize the initiative habits of
Jewish American writers.
Literature comes from very deep
sources" he said. land the difference
in character of these sources is recog-
nizable in different peoples. This is
true not only of the language but of
the spirit. For instance, nobody but
Jew could have written the Psalms.
Nor could a Frenchman ever have
written Hamlet; in fact. the French
to this day do not understand Ham
let
Jews can produce real literature
only if they go to those deep sources
within themselves instead of trying
to initiate what the Anglo-American
does even better.
Fannie Hurst and Edna Ferber are
who have chosen to
initiate. and thereby be and remain
second raters.
Halper and Fineman.
young Halper. who jumped into
the spotlight a year or so ago with
Union Square followed q similar
course. He showed great ability. but
1t was in dealing with a proletarian
movement that was not part of him.
self. The mistake in choosing a meter
which is foreign to ones own nature is
that it leaves no room for develop
ment"
Asked who he considers most prom
Using Of Jewish American writer's,
Lewisohn named Irving Fineman,
author of Hear Ye. Sons"
Passing over the racial angle, Lewis
ohm expressed the belief that con-
temporary poets of America are show
ing a more consistent high level of
artistry than the nOvelistS. For illus
tration he referred to the latest poetic
works of Edna ST. Vincent Miilay as
contrasted with Sinclair Lewis latest
novel. The former he described as a
new proof of greatness, the latter he
called the last rinsings" Of better
work which has gone before.
Mr.. Lewisohn is now making his
home In Burlington, VT, spending
most OF his time writing and lecturing.

FREIGHT RATE RISE
Appeals Against Railroad
Requests Entered With
Commission.
BY the Associated Press.


Fortyfour reasons why the people
of Virginia oppose proposal of rail-
roads operating in the State for a
general freight rate increase were
listed in a brief filed with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission today by
T. D. Geoghegan, Washington traffic
expert.
Appearing as witness at the hear
ing being conducted bv the T. G. G .
Geoghegan was questioned by H. Z.
Ketner. commerce counsel o. NE W.
ginia Corporation Commission, and
said he represented the corporation
commission and Virginia interests
generally, to cover the States objec-
tons as whole. More specifically
he represented Southwestern Virginia,
Inc; the Danville Chamber of Com
merce, the HarriSonburg Chamber Of
Commerce and parties associated with
them in the objections they have filed
to the proposed increase.
Calling attention to figures on
bituminous coal traffic through Vir-
ginia as shown in his brief, the wit
ness said: The Pocahontas Lines are
not in any sense of the word in a
depressed condition, either as to ton
mage or revenue and that they are
doing better than the 15-year average,
starting with 1920, the time peak
in railroad freight rates."
Apples Cited.

port might have been halted by high

Another Poll

Straw votes. popular polls, question
naires and the like are American de-
vices to reveal the popular mind. The
mails in election years are crowded
with queries such as these. Now
comes the Literary Digest with . new
secret ballot More than fifteen mil
lion voters will be asked what they
think of Roosevelt's New Deal.
Clearly the intent is to ascertain
whether sentiment for Roosevelt Is
changing, for the Digest confines its
popular referendum to two ques-
tons:
Do you approve on the whole the
acts and policies OF Roosevelts first
year?
For whom did you vote in 1892?
OF course many voters will not Just
mark their convictions on the dotted
line. Many will write letters accom-
panying their ballots. Public senti-
ment reflected in this manner will
give a good insight into the popular
view Of the New Deal.
Doubtless the Digest Is embarkinl
upon another mighty interesting
Journalistic venture.

The Lowly Horse Collar

The Canadian government, esti-
mating the extent Of recovery In our
northern neighbor, finds significance
in statistics covering the sale Of har-
ness and horse collars. In 1881 a
total of 64,928 horse collars were sold
In the Dominion, whereas 1892 showed
sales OF 1929 sweatpad sales
jumped from 10000 to $4,000 and the
production Of double harness almost
trebled.
The significance is seen in the fact
that, In order to work, horses must
have collars, and when collar sales
jump 1t follows that more horse work
Is being done.
American statisticians are not 30
facile when dealing with so honely
subject, but the apparent fact is
that similar trend Is apparent in
this country. Horses have been at .
premium in this country for several
years and production OF work animals
is on the increase.
Tractors doubtless are more eff
Gent and enhance the value Of hui
man labor, but they do not reproduce
themselves and 1t requires cash to
keep them in operation. With many
idle men both on the farms and in
the cities, human labor has become
much cheaper and the result has been
to return Old Dobbin to a field which
he once dominated exclusively.
Adding to this development has
been the devising Of bitches for teams
Of as many as II horses, thus enabling
q farmer to get as much done with
as with machine power.
The manufacture Of horse collars
and harness again bids fair to be-
come an important industry.

Must Organize

Threats OF initiation, either by the
silver route or some equally danger.
Gus device, should spur the investors
in bonds, stocks and insurance to or
ganize to prevent deflation OF their
investments.
In a recent statement James W.
Gerard. former ambassador to Ger
many, outlined the situation accur-
ately as follows:
American investors are the
cornerstone, the foundation and
the bedrock on which the indus
trial and economic life Of the
United States Is built. Their Sc
curity holdings In most instances
represent thrift, savings, hard
work and full faith in the destiny
of the United States. Yet they
are the target for every political
experiment In every state in the
Union and in congress. They are
not given the slightest consider
alton at any time. They are
treated contemptuously.
Driving downtown I passed a
wagonload of live chickens, peer
ing out at the world from their
coops and boxes. They reminded
me Of the members Of the great
middle class Of our country, who
have as much to do with their
own economic and political for.
tunes as those chickens on their
way to execution"
Mr.. Gerard estimates that the
security holders of the country
would control probably 100000
or 10000, 900 votes II they were to
take an interest In their own
protection, and he asserts that
the time has come when they
must forever be branded as fools
and weaklings If they do not or
gani7e to consolidate their
strength.
Steps are being taken among the
holders Of utility stocks for Just such
an organization. Thousands Of such
stockholders have been asked to do
nate dollar to support an organiza-
ton which will see that the interests
Of security holders are not ignored
at Washington.
Such a movement has been too long
delayed.

OF course when the Chamber OF
Commerce met at Washington re-
Gently, its hands were rather tied in
the way OF vigorous criticism OF the
New Deal. Not 50 many months ago

cry for governmental help which is
too fresh on the record. President

announced that he favored turning
over the control Of all business to
President Roosevelt for a period OF
two years. OF course Hartman re-
Elected only his own viewpoint, but
when Hoover left the White House
all business had the jitters and was
willing to try anything.
OF course, in the final analysis,
much Of the New Deal must be dis
carded rs mere emergency measures
in the near future, most Of them are
but feebly effective. Under the
American scheme OF things, business
must be left to work out its ow1,

Then, too, business, before It rises

there will be no initiation or drastic
tinkering with the gold standard. Un.
