fact that since the reduction of SIS a
ton buying is smaller than before.
Now, with respect to mass pro-
duction, the facts are that the steel
industry has pioneered in this field.
The giant present-day blast fur
naceS and open-hearth furnaces,
which dwarf the plants of a decade
or so ago, bear this out.
The steel industry, moreover, has
made enormous contributions to the
development of mass production of
automobiles. In this connection,
while steel accounts for nearly 80
per cent of the weight of the aver
age motor car, it takes only per
cent of the retail price.
Wherever possible, as with the
great new continuous strip mills,
production facilities have been vast
ly increased to meet and even to
anticipate automotive demand. The
price for automobile sheets, for eX-
ample, has declined about 81 per
cent since 1920, in the face of great
enhancement of quality.
Plant modernization is going on
all the time in all departments of
the industry, the approximate ex-
penditure for this purpose this year
being $l40,000,000.
AS a result, all steel prices are
far lower than they would have to
be if we used old methods, when one
considers the enormous increases in
wages, transportation and other
costs. With respect to wages alone,
higher hourly rates and shorter
hours provided for by the late steel
code, and still being adhered to by
the industry, added S100,000,000 to
the industry's pay rolls in 1884.
1t may be readily admitted, how
ever, that mass production is not
as available in steel as in some
other industries. This is due to the
nature Of the industry and is utterly
unrelated to any price policy.
Modern steel is a generic term

The lake, a boat and the big, round
moon,
And a cool caressing breeze,
Darkening shadow along the shore
Under low-hanging boughs of
trees.
The sky, a large inverted bowl
A FURNISHED plate the lake
With moon and stars pictured there
And a silence I dare not break.
The bowl of the sky gem-Studded
with stars
And the great golden ball, the
moon
Playing hide and seek among the
clouds
My heart with the world atune.
My boat seemed floating upon a sea
OF silvery shimmering light
That mirrored the beauty of
jeweled sky
A picture, perfect night.
I dreamily floating, drink my fill
Enraptured, I dare not lift an
oar
To break the spell OF this perfect
night
And turn my boat toward shore.
An aweSome beauty is ever all
The lake, the sky, the darksome
trees
The croaking of a lonely frog
The soft signing Of the breeze.
The FURNISHED lake, the yellow
moon
The deep blue bowl Of the sky
Silence-So deep, so unbroken
Save for a night birds sleepy
cry.
An eerie night-the pale moonlight,
Boat floating on a silvery sea
Straight I drift down that moonlit
path
Away from reality.

FLalLs Whispering C0mpai021

BY Reader
Recent newspaper articles have
referred to some so-Called
whispering campaigns. If there
is any practice more des-
picabIe and nefarious than this
fiendiSh mouth-to-ear Islander, it
has not yet come to the attention
of the American public.
The motivating forces back of
such vicious and Shiny attacks are
various: Oftentimes it is sub
verSive political propaganda;
sometimes it is bigotry in its most
virulent form; then, too, it may
be sheer malice and venom. These
whispering campaigns are often

originated and sponsored by some
hymn-singing hypocrite, who
volunteers to pass the word
around"
Generally, there is little if any
truth in the gossip that is being
so widely spread, but there is
always a motive back of it. No
one is immune from such attacks,
from the President of the United
States, down to the SIS a week
office clerk.
Fortunately, however, this propa-
ganda can easily be recognized for
just what it is, and we agree with
Thoreau that SANDER is always
the weapon of cad.

THEN there is another difference.

T-HEN there is another difference.
l. In 1914 we knew less about the economic side
of war AS the war got under way industries thrived
business doomed, jobs we're plentiful, wages high
We seemed to roll in wealth.
In 1881 we realized that our war-born prosperity
was illusion. We dreamed we had wealth in our
hand only to wake and find it gone. What we were
doing was to lend Europe the money with which to
buy our products-which products she, in turn
burned in the furnace of war.
In short we sold nothing. We gave our goods
away. AS a result, Europe today owes us $22,OOO,-
OOoOOO principal and interest, which she will never
pay but which our taxpayers must, for generations
to come.
We have learned much since 1914. Or should
have We should know more of the facts Of life, in
ternationslly speaking We should be less gullble,
less inclined to let our hearts outrun heads
Badly burned, should not be easily Singed again.
Even were this not So we are beginning to have
laws which should offer at least some protection
against ourselves. There is the johnson law for
bidding loans to the nations in default to their
war debts. And there is the neutrality law passed
by the last Congress.
But the peril is not over.
Where is neutrality when wheat gets to 81 a
bushel and cotton to 80 cents pound?" asked Bernard
M. BaruCh yesterday on MS return from Europe.
He placed his finger on one of the fundamentals
of why is difficult for any great nation in this day
and time, to remain aoof from any long-continued,
major war Our world is getting smaller Every year
that passes sees the nations bound more tightly
together. Each is coming to depend more and more
upon the others.
Cotton is as essential in war cannon. No con-
fct can go without bread Can we still stay out
when prices soar and the vast majority of popu
laton, hard hit by embargoes and other neutrality
laws, begin to clamor at the doors of Congress?
Only time can answer.

A GREAT INDUSTRY EXPLAINS
IT'S ACHIEVEMENTS

The following statement in answer to
recent editorial in The indianapolis
Times has been received from the Ameri
can Iron and Steel Institute, $50 Fifth-av,
New York.
In recent editorial entitled
"Bigness III" appearing in your
newspaper, the steel industry is
urged to lower prices in order to
stimulate production. 1t is main
tanned that steel, by clinging to a
policy of rigidly high prices, has
turned it's back on the modern for
mula of mass production.
While the steel industry acknowl-
edges the friendly spirit Of the edi-
torial, and recognizes the basic
soundnesS of the principle of mass
production, nevertheless, the edito-
rial contains a number Of fallacies
in the application of this principle
to steel which in all fairness should
be pointed out.
First, the implication that the
level of steel prices was responsible
for the steep depression decline in
the steel INDUSTRY is NOT pOTne OuC
by the facts. General economic
conditions, not steel prices, caused
the steel mills to shut down.
If steel prices we're eXorbitantly
high, consumption might be re-
stricted by that fact. But steel
prices are not exorbitant. Compe-
tition, constantly growing more keen
with the steady expansion of pro-
ductive facilities, has held prices
down.
Average prices for iron and steel
declined without interruption from
1923 to 1929, steadied a trifle that
year, then fell until 1888, to a level
Al per cent below 1928. This is not
a record of rigidity.

"THE ROAD TO WAR"

yesterday began to set in motion our newly created
machinery for keeping US out OF war.
Their efforts could hardly at a more
propitious time. The world seems headed for
another fracas out of which practically every Ameri
can very much wishes to stay.
In 1914, President Wilson quickly scented danger
and did what he could to KEEP US neutral Yet by
1917, we had been sucked into Arnageddon. 1t is
Just possible that had this country known then what
it ought to know now, he might have succeeded
But who knows? Is there anything one can put
his finger on to warrant the belief that we, as
people, differ materially from what we were in
1914?
The answer, We believe, is the time honored
one: Yes and no. In good many ways we
are certainly different-or we should be- In others
of really fundamental nature, probably are not.
WE were naive people in 1914. We were not in
w ternational minded Europe was long way
off. The Orient might have been on the moon.
To farmer boys blowing in their fields, to young
workers in mills and offices, to the in the
street and even to most of our leaders, the pistol shot
at Sarajevo meant almost nothing. Yet because of
it their bones were eventually to bleach the
Atlantic
So. here is one big difference between 1914 and
1895 Today we know that Europe and Asia are not
as remote as we thought then; that what happens
anywhere is likely to affect us.
In 1914 too war seemed romantic. The
Civil War generation had mostly passed on. The
Spanish War; which was fresh in our minds was
only parade-save for the ravages of disease-just
one victory after another, and almost bloodless.
Today, war to us has lost its glamour. We saw
millions die and it was not pretty Even our young
sters today are close enough to the World War to
know the glory small and the horror colossal.
They know that no nation All lost. They
know that they themselves paying-for the
present stricken, obess is part of wars after
math.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

u HAVE made a discovery" said girl pouring tea
L at a Junior League meeting THE homeliest
middle aged women seem to be the happiest."
Now the girl herself was a personable young
thing though she would have taken no blue ribbon
in d national beauty contest. Undoubtedly she will
become one of our nondescript matrons.
The explanation for her discovery is simple, of
course Homely women are generally happier than
beauties when they reach middle life because they
never expect so much when they are young.
Margaret is a case in point Of all the women
know she is the most popular. When she is present
nobody ever thinks about her face being too fiat,
her too large her skin sallow and her eyes far
from beautiful. There is something about her which
attracts you. Women trust her; men like her. She
is kind; she never says catty things and there is
about her that elusive quality we call personality,
which is made up of character. understanding and
interest in something outside of self.
Besides all this, let me tell you what she has. A
husband who loves her, two fine sons, nice home,
enough money to satisfy her wants. and friends
wherever she goes. More than that, she has fun
every day of her life.
Would you like to know how the woman who
used to be Margaret the honfey girl wresed all this
from world which worships beauty? I set it down
in her own words, and you are to imagine the story
accompanied by her rich laughter:
I was the uglleSt OF four sisters. Nobody told
ME So of course but soon sensed it. had only to
look in the mirror to verify the fact Without making
it too painful my mother taught me to see that
whatever got from life I would have to get with
something besides my personal appearance. So while
I was not exactly reconciled to LONELINESS I was
soon convinced there was no use whining about it,
i set out to make people like me. 1 dressed well
and tried not to be stupid I made myself take an
interest in other people Then never expected too
much. knew could not marry prince of pulchri-
tude and millionaire III one I was thankful to
get John and have tried my best to show my graft
tude by pleasing him. And right now I wouldn't

This strategy is what is behindt
the secret G.. 0. P. decision to hold
their national convention after the
Democrats. additionally it is held
before. But this year. Republican
master minds don't want to pass up
the chance to concentrate a with

Democratic platform.
OFFICIALLY, today's committee
~ meeting deals chiefly with such
proSaic things as:
l. Plans for the 1886 convention
Officially the city and date are
picked when the full committee
meets in December. Actually, to-
days committee is the power behind
the scenes.
2. Finances-The national COM
mittee is in the black and more

8. National craftsmanship - There
is agitation to ease out dapper
Henry P Fletcher.
Far more important, however, is
an item not listed on the agenda.
1t is the question of whether the
Republican Party will go progress
Sive or conservative in 1886;
whether it will swing to the BOrah-
Landon liberals or to the Hoover
Knox conservatives.
The executive committee does not
choose candidates. But it does pitch
the tune. The tune may not be
sung aloud for the time being. But
the undertone refrain sounded to-
day may be hummed by the lead
ers during the rest of the presi-
dental campaign year.
DESPITE numerous guards, the
II White House is constantly
falling victim to some light-fingered
souvenir hunter.
The latest depreciation was thy
theft of the gold lettering from the
face of the valuable antique clock
in the Oval Room, where foreign
diplomats generally are received by
the President when they present
their credentials. The clock, one of
the oldest in the White House. was
brought to the mansion by Presi-
dent John Adams, the first to Oc-
cupy the residence. The recent
congressional act providing free

Islands for FilipinOs residing in the
U. S. is not the Open-handed gift

takes advantage of it is barred for
ever from re-entry into this coun-
