THE MARTIAL VIRTUES

IF the United States wants to avoid wars horrors
it must do more than curse the war-makers or
preach passive peace, says Dr. Lloyd H. ziegler,
New York psychiatrst. 1t must adopt what the late
William James calls the martial virtues" and sub
stitute for mankng "a moral equivalent" that will
meet youths craving for "a strong life"
Prof James urged that we conscript our young
men not for killing other young men, but for fight
ms the mmemorial human warfare against ma
ture" Under his utopia each fit young man would
be used for number of years in the states service
ITO coal and iron mines, to freight trains to fish
ing fleets in December, to dish washing clothes
washing and window washing, to foundries and
stoke-holes and to the frames of skyscrapers our
gilded youths would be drafted off according to their
choice, to get the childishness knocked ont of them
and to come back into society with healthier sym
pathies and soberer ideas" he wrote.
Such a consumption, he argued, would preserve
the manly virtues sung by the military party with
out wars degrading duties and its tragic aftermaths
I'VE should" he argued, get toughness without
caousness, authority with little criminal cruelty
possible and painful work done cheerily because
the duty is temporary, and threatens not as now to
degrade the whole remainder of ones life. So far
has been the only force that can discipline a
whole community, and until an equivalent discipline
is OI8dIlAeQ, DeleVe IildG war must nave us way.
But have no serious doubt that the ordinary prides
and shames of social man, developed to a GER
tain intensity capable of organizing such moral
equivalent as have sketched or some other just as
effective for preserving manliness of type
The martial type of character can be bred with
out war. Strenuous honor and disnerestedness
abound elsewhere. Prisests and medical men are in
a fashion educated to it, and all should feel some

temper. 80.
1--WE must make energies and hardhoods
continue the manliness to which the military mind
so faithfully clngs. Martial virtues must be the
enduring cement; intrepidjty, contempt of softness

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER /. 1885.
THE ECONOMIC BUDGET

IN isconferences with industrial leaders President
Roosevelt stresses discrepancy Of far greater
significance than that between government income
and government expenditure This is the gaping
chasm between industry's output Of goods and the
wages of those who must consume the goods.
Industrial production, the President points out
has reached about 90 per cent Of what it was
five years ago But only 90 per cent as many people
employed in production as employed
fve years ago. Furthermore, these employed wage
are earning only "A per cent much they
did at that time
Here, in nutshell, lies the chief cause Of the
countrys continuing economic stress. The great
American economic budget is out of balance.
Our big industrial plant is turning out almost as
much goods it did in 1929, but the country is not
keeping pace in buying power.
Until this economic budget is balanced, with pro-
duction and buying power forming healthy
equation shall have the thing that chiefly
unbalanced government budgets, great relief load
To balance the economic budget requires the help
and cooperation Of INDUSTRY with government. EN-
poyers must employ more and pay more in real
wages. For time the government can borrow and
tax and employ the idle millions in public works.
But it cen not keep this up forever.
The President is appealing personally to industrys
leaders to help work out this problem. How else can
the Administration encourage the cooperation of
business? One thing it can do is to set to work

ONE POINT OF VIEW
On Slum Clearance

IF SUM clearance and new housing do not pay"
why 90 them? That is not businesslike The
reasons for rehousing the poor not all business
reasons Disease and crime are encouraged by letting
human beings live in places that would make herd
of pigs unhealthy But merely as matter of money
the real reason for housing is something outside of
the relation between construction costs and rent
Surveys have shown that the typical slum pays
small taxes and costs the taxpayers large sums for
police, fire protection and disqualification not to
speak of the expense of jais reform schools The
citizens as members of the Community Chest are
called upon for additional money to relieve the social
distress caused by filthy living quarters.
A large part of these expenses can be saved if
the people be given sanitary housing with grass
and trees around it. Subsidized housing is not a
noble charity to the poor. We ask the poor to be
kind enough to move into better quarters so that
they will not often get into sickness and other
troubles that cost us money.
They can not afford to move, so We have to pay
part of their expenses (From Brass Tacks," by
David Cushman Coyle)

THE GOVERNMENT BUDGET

GONE political observers assert that an Admin

never retreat, that to do so would be to make the
fatal political mistake of admitting error.
But it so happens that the Roosevelt Administra-
ton has never committed itself to the fallacy that
inflated government spending work perma

the President has insisted that the extraordinary
government expenditures should be cutailed fast
as private business re-empoys the millions of human
beings cast adrift in the depression.
1t is true that private industry has been dis
appontngly slow in unemployment of its cast-offs.
of timdy Of business been uncertainty over the
governments fiscal policies arising of the fail
ure of the Administration to start closing the gap
between the governments income and outgo. Five
fiscal years of operating in the red have almost
doubled the public debt.
But the next five years rather than the last
five hold the key to recovery, Private business is
in a healthier condition today than it has been at
any time since the depression started. And one way,
we believe for the Administration to contribute to the
vitality and permanence of the present business
upswing is to knucke down on the government
budget.
The President has given the politically popular
assurance that new taxes will not be necessary. But
this assurance business will continue to doubt
until they know that there will be sharp contrac-
ten in the scale of government spending. For they
realize and the President also must that existing tax
rates alone can not possibly restore the government
to a sound fiscal basis,
&c. in order to give business additional con-
fdence to remove the spectre of initiation which hoy

reserves and a continuing national defct-to remove

President to make iudicous use Of that brand new
blue pencil which he displays proudly as gift from
his director of the budget

state of agitation over the dongs of the people in

how the Joneses get along with their moher-i law
and whether the Browns going to be able to pay
