Thirty Hours a Week.

The 30-hour work week comes
knocking at the door again. It Is not
unnatural that it should, in view of
the fact that millions of men and wom-
en- are still without jobs, despite the
efforts Of the New Dealers and the
operation of the national industrial
recovery act and other New Deal laws.
The question, however, Is whether the
30-hour work week would do any more
for recovery than other experiments
already tried. Government control
Of business, Of hours, of labor, of
wages and Of prices Is q pretty poor
substitute for wisely run business and
industry under conditions which show
q minimum of Government regulation.
And yet the proponents Of Govern
ment control, despite the fact that
such control is irksome to the people.
continue to pin their faith on that
kind Of effort.
Inc American Federation OF Labor,
in a report just made public, estimates
that there are II, ASS, 900 jobless men
and women in the United States.
This, the federation says, Is 429, 1000
more than were unemployed . year
ago. The federation is backing the
3o-hour work week plan, and makes
the claim that 1t will put 100000
more persons to work.
The theory, Of course, Is that there
Is not enough work to 60 round, not
enough jobs to take care Of the people.
1t is true there Is not enough work
as Of today to 60 round. But that Is
because business has been stalled. It
would be far the wiser course to make
more efforts to get business on its feet
and so provide jobs, than to cut down
the hours q man or woman may work.
Thirty hours q week. five hours . day
for six days, is cutting 1t pretty far
down the scale for . man to be en-
ployed. In Q week there are Q total
Of 1853 hours. Subtract from this total
80 hours for work, and thsre are LETT

BUILDING THE CITY
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN, DID, LID. DEL,
Bishop Of Washington

that he conceived Of Jerusalem a.
more than Q seat for his throne: It
was to be the place where the mani
festation Of Gods presence was to
be more evident. He SO thoroughly
builded the consciousness Of Gods
presence into the life Of the city that.
even at later day. when Gen. Allen
by's troops wrested 1t from Turkish
rule. 1t stil evoked the reverence of
these modern crusaders.
The building of the city has today
become the chief occupation Of men
the world over. The large question
Is, what kind, are we building? Are
they to be given over wholly to the
things Of commerce, pleasure and poll
tics. or are we to build them upon
surer and more enduring foundations?
The future of this Nation will be de-
termined by the way our cities are
built.
1t is becoming increasingly evident,
and the page Of history confirms the
observation, that selfish and self-seek-
ing and goddess centers, where popu-
lation is congested, do not and cannot
the persistent application Of those in
strumentalities that make for char
acter and righteousness. Unfailing
praise must be bestowed upon the man
who. by his genius and fine consecra-
tion, destroys deadly parasites that in
city life prey upon the bodies Of men.
The conservation Of health iS obviously
Q primary consideration. The things
Of education also occupy a conspicu-
Gus place, but let Ills be clear about 1t,
even sanitation and education, coupled
with industrial efficiency and CONNER
cial splendor. do not constitute the
sole preservatives of life. The things
of character must ever occupy a pri-
mary place in the consideration of
those who would lay deep and strong
the foundations of our cities. One
of the Saddest words ever spoken
by Christ was that when He beheld
Jerusalem, and said: 20, Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, thou that hIlest the
prophets and stonest them which are
sent unto theei How often would I
have gathered thy children together
even as a hen gathereth her chickens

In this great period of reconstruc-

Natural Resources as the
Heritage of the Nation
BY HARDEN COLFAx.

The natural resources of America
are the heritage of the whole Nation
and should be conserved and utilized
for the benefit Of all our people"
This is the text around which Presi-
dent Roosevelt's National Resources
Board has written its elaborate report,
just submitted to the White House.
The conservation movement in the
United States began to assume the
proportions Of national policy fully
a quarter Of century ago. This re-
port of the Presidents board. how
ever. now brings together for the first
time extensive studies by highly COM
petent authorities, of land use, water
use, minerals and appropriate public
works in their relation to each other
and to national planning.
In fact, the report lays the basis
for a comprehensive long-range ma
tional policy for the protection and
development of our almost fabulous
national resources. The President
likes to refer to these as national" :"
not merely natural resources, since
the term national" takes in popula-
tion as well as land and water. He
believes this long-term plan will be
particularly timely if it be inaugu-
rated during the next few years,
since. according to census predictions,
our population will reach its peak
around 1850.
To some extent the shameful waste
of timber, oil. soil and minerals has
been halted during the past two dec
ades, but the need for a systematic
plan has long been evident. Last year
the President appointed a National
Planning Board and, in June. this
body reported in favor Of a continu-
GUS national planning policy. Then,
by executive order of June 80, the
President established the National
Resources Board.
The President requested the board
to approach the subject from four
standpoints: The physical Gland and
water), the sociological people and
other movements), the governmental
administrative and legislative). and
the economic (production and distri-
bution).
The report, as submitted now. con-
siders the various phases of national
life and resources and emphasizes
that water policies and land policies
must be planned together. Moreover.
evidently the minerals cannot be
considered apart from land in q plan
ming program" The board suggests
q method for future cooperation
which, II carried through, would lend
the untold waste of our national do
main, decrease the burdens on labor.

nance the well-being Of the masses"

The I'm Alone Settlement.

SoAAu&Ao oAAA NAAN SAAS@A 6W0bNo AAh w
given the world another example Of
the friendly and fraternal spirit that
pervades both sides Of their three
thousand miles Of mfortified frontier
by an arbitral settlement Of an incl
dent that in certain circumstances
and In other clirnes might easily have
become an ugly international affair.
On March "a, 1929. the rum runner
I'm Alone was sunk in the Gulf OF
Mexico after it had been shelled for
more than an hour by the United States
Coast Guard cutter Dexter. Fatal
tiles resulted from the engagement.
Canada contended that the schooner
was a ship Of bona fide Canadian
registry, but the United States main
tanned that its operations were domi-
mated by q New York rum-running
syndicate. The Dominion govern
ment asked for damages Of nearly
4fUU,UuU 1OT tQc Sulk1LS.
The case was submitted to q spe-
cially constituted American Canadian
judicial commission, consisting Of
Associate Justice Willis Van Devanter
of the United States Supreme Court
and Chief Justice Sir Lyman Poore
Duff of the Canadian Supreme Court.
A decision was reached on January
9. It calls for an apology to Canada
by the United States and a money
payment. Declaring that the sinking
of the I'm Alone was mot justified.
the commissioners consider that the
United States ought formally to
acknowledge its illegality, to apollo
gize to the Canadian government
therefor, and. further, as a matter
of material amend in respect Of the
wrong, the United States should pay
the sum of s25,O0O to the Canadian
government" Having decided also
that the captain and the crew were
not parties to the smuggling con-
spiracy, the commissioners held that
they, too, or their survivors, are en-
titled to material amends" These
altogether amount to s25.666.
The arbitral ruling sets forth that
although the I'm Alone was q British
ship Of Canadian registry it was de
facto owned, controlled and at crit
ical times managed, and her move
ments directed and her cargo dealt
with and disposed of, by a group Of
persons acting in concert who were
entirely, or nearly SO, citizens OF the
United States"
Justices Duff and Van Devanter de-
voted many months Of unremitting
study to every angle Of the I'm Alone
case, and both at Ottawa and Wash
ington there will be every disposition
to regard their findings as q strictly
fair and objective appraisal Of the
facts they were called upon to con-
slider. Repeal Of the American pro-
hibition laws makes it happily unlikely
that Canada and the United States
will ever come into another such con-
f1ict as the I'm Alone provoked. but
it Is matter Of profound satisfaction
that their relations are such that it
is possible to close such incidents
through the medium of arbitration.
All concerned with the settlement are
entitled to commentator.

MANN-CARR BOUT
 STIRS INTEREST

New Haven, July 26-Ike Vein CT and Dick Gray, co-promoters of professional boxing at White City Stadium, have paired Phil Baker Of Norwalk. and Harry Alexanian Of Worcester, Mass, for eight round bout on the card featuring Nathan Mann and Eddie Carr which will be presented at the stadium on Monday night, July 29.
 Baker has been fighting in sen sational form this year and has piled up a number of conquests over some of the outstanding light weights in the East. Alexanian Is one of the hardest opponents that Baker has been called upon to face in some time and Phil will have to step fast and furious if he expects to cop the duke.
 A great deal of interest has been aroused over the Mann Carr con- test which figures to be one of the hardest battles that the Hamdon kayo king has ever engaged in. Some think that Carr. Negro choir singer Of Waterbury. VIII be too smart for the up.and- coming younEster who packs such tree mendous wallop, and Co tell the plain truth. Mann's handlers were not very anxious Co send him up tn 5avin Rock for tho battle.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-26

His opponent is the "Greek Tiger" from Boston with the un- pronouncable name, Fanis Tzane- topoulous, and this Greek from the City of Culture has won a major ity of his- bouts on knockouts. He has a formidable right hand and Carr, who wouldn't know how to fight cautious battle if he wished to, will be a potential target for the kayo all the distance.
 This was true when he fought Warrington here last month, the Nova Scotian being knockout specialist of Parts, but Carr held Terry at bay, alrgely by beating him to the punch.
 Carr and the "Greek Tiger" meet in the semi-final to the Benny Bass-J Jimmy Leto bout and both these battles are on the slate for ten rounds.
 Leto, training in the wilds near Monson, Mass. is in fine shape and confident he will avenge the Bass knockout of many months ago.
 Bass, who is doing his training in his native city of Philadelphia. expects to repeat the kayo victory. The bout has stirred wide interest in Connecticut and in Western Massachusetts, where Leto is a top favorite.

BABE RUTH DOES
 NOT NEED MONEY
Would Like to Play in Golf TOurneys Just for
 the Sport

Rye, N. r., July 26-(UP)- Babe Ruth may seek the national amateur golf championship at Cleveland this year.
 The Babe revealed this yesterday after he had shot a brilliant Sl in the qualifying round of the Westchester Country club tourna- ment. He barely missed becoming one of the 16 who will play for the title.
 "I wouldn't mind trying for the Cleveland national in September, the former home run king said, ''if I could arrange my affairs so that I could compete in the New York qualifying rounds on Aug. 20, and if officials of the U. s. G. A. would let me play.
 Ruth doubted that the United States Golfing association would grant him permission to compete in the national amateur in view of the association's recent ruling against Babe Didrikson, famous woman athelete.
 "But even if don't. get into the national amateur, I expect to play in a lot of other journeys this summer" he said. My game is getting pretty good now--and it's a lot of fun.''
 He says he has no idea of play. ing professional golf because he just plays for the fun of it and besides, T don't need the money"
