modate them. Thousands Of motor

Hardly had the burning ship strand
ed, only a few hours after the disas-
ter, when a proposal was made by
some of the authorities Of the sea-
shore community for the purchase Of
the pitiful souvenir of one of the worst
catastrophes in the history of naviga-
ton, to be preserved as spectacle for
public entertainment" An indignant
and vigorous protest was Immediately
made by residents, and the ill-advised
project was abandoned. The idea of
money making from such a hideous
spectacle was too shocking to be toll
Grated.
Now consideration is given to the
practical question Of what is to be
done with the hulk, which cannot be
salvaged. 1t is too firmly embedded
in the sands to be removed and it is
deemed likely that it will have to be
cut up and moved away piecemeal,
as expert opinion is to the effect that
it would be impossible to keep It
afioat even II tugs could haul it off
the shore. A conference is now to be
held between the owners and the un-
derwriters to determine the procedure.
Possibly some portion of the wreck
will be left to serve as a jetty for the
beach. Thus it may be that for a
long time a gruesome souvenir of the
tragedy will remain. The best that
can be hoped is that it may serve as
a constant reminder of the necessity
for the provision and maintenance of
measures for the greater safety of
seafarers.

for many years. Her ability wins wide
recognition, and she Is described as

with substantial contributions to the

"The Forward View"

Writing in the September Atlantic,
Alfred P. Sloan, jr., president of the
General Motors Corporation, asks in
dustry to take the forward view," re-
minding his readers that industry is
'incurably optimistic; its beacon is
hope and change Is its hfeblood." His
definition of the forward view" is
covered in an article that is as inspir-
ing as it is informative, presenting, as
it does, a glimpse at some Of the
many channels for advance that in
ventive genius, plus the Unsuitable
desires of mankind for betterment,
will open.
He shares with many the satisfac-
ton over gains to labor and capital
through "the renewed confidence
stirred in American hearts by Presi-
dent Roosevelt's courageous and sue
cessful struggle against the fear psy-
chology." But the phase of the re-
covery program which, he believes,
stands most in the way Of recovery,
and holds the greatest danger to prog
ress unless all industrial and social
evolution has been in error up to this
point" is:
." the tendency to treat material
progress as ended, to divide work as II
there would never be any more work
than there is at present This would
mean to stabilize the standard of liv-
ing on a reduced basis.
All through history, Mr.. Sloan
argues, whenever progress has been
retarded by temporary depressions,
there has been raised the cry that
human advance is at an end. The
United States Commissioner Of Labor
in 1886 was reporting that progress in
the United States in the next fifty
years would not show the advance of
the past fifty years. And today there
is evidence in some of the New Deals
experiments to indicate that among
our foremost thinkers are those who
have concluded that "the saturation
point" has been reached and the
country must make the best job it
can of adjusting itself to the end Of
progress. This acceptance of situa-
ton as final "by retreating timidly
toward the age of scarcity" Is not
the way to real recovery.
OF present difficulties, Mr.. Sloan
suggests that labor and capital must
agree on a reasonable division of
their partnership" and government,
at the same time, must be able to
protect the property which is the
residuum of initiative and thrift" If
the expansion in new lines of indus
try is to be hastened. Between an in
dustry and its workers there is a
natural community of interest. Both
must draw their incomes from the
sale of goods or services produced;
both must lose If sales fade away" But
the "area of possible dispute between
management and workers Is always
far smaller than the area of profitable
accord. The book of experiment In
economic relationships is no more
closed than are the books of scientific
and business enterprise"
In my time Mr.. Sloan recounts
that one of the lessons learned by
industry is the Importance of main
tanning buying power by keeping
wages we'll above the meager living
costs" Provided men are left free
to organize their activities" he sees
no limits to the expansion of industry
The good life lies ahead somewhere
along the road of abundance, and we
shall find it by continuing in that
direction with stout hearts and open
minds"
