EXPLOITATION

president ROOSEVELTS remarks on
public utility holding companies bring into
sharp relief the growing disposition to dis
tinguish between big business and high finance
A generation ago the average citizen kept
a wary eye on big business. The gigantic new
industrial combinations frightened him. He
had an uneasy feeling that they were growing
so big and so powerful that his liberties were
in danger of being tramped under foot.
Today he looks in another direction. He
is used to big business, now. He has discovered
that the worst sweatshop conditions, for in
stance, are often to be found in the small in
dustry; he recalls that it is frequently the big
industriailst who pioneers in high wage scales.
But high finance is something else again.
There is a now-you -see-it-now-you- don't quail
ity about it that leaves the ordinary man
dazed Furthermore, the events of recent years
have demonstrated that altogether toe many
of these busy financiers are not men Of vision"
or makers of America" so much as clever and
not too scrupulous self-seekers.
The President expresses the average re-
action pretty clearly:
1T is time to make an effort to reverse
that process OF Lne concentration VI pOWSI
which has made most American citizens
helplessly dependent for their daily bread upon
the favor of very few, who, by such devices
as holding companies, have taken for them
selves unwarranted economic power"
That says it. 1t draws the line between
industrial leadership which seeks to produce
and the kind of financial leadership which
seeks to exploit. The former helps to enrich
the whole country; the latter is distinctly
anti-social.
For large industrial corporation, after all,
is interested in just one thing-production of
disable goods. That is its only reason fop ex-
istence; that is the only way it can make
money for its stockholders. It's goal, in other
words. is the goal Of the country as a whole
The financial outfit that expresses itself
through a chain of holding companies, on the
other hand, heads in the opposite direction. 1t
is interested in profits rather than in produc-
tion-and if you play that game cleverly you
can make profits without doing much pro-
ducing.
To attack the holding company system Is
not to attack big business. 1t is to attack
thing which is a parasite on big business-and
on all the rest of us as well.

THE GOOSE-STEP INVASION

TIVE Senate has added s1,443774 to the
= House War Department appropriation of
s3.4523O4 for setting up lib new reserve Off
GERS training corps units in high schools and
colleges. The item, If accepted in conference,
will increase the present student r. o. T. G.
enrolment Of $4,000 by 10000 to 10000 youths.
Probably most Of the new units will be in high
schools. and doubtless drill viii be compulsory
in most units.
In the same War Department bill the Sen
ate has added sl,56O,O0O to the 100000
House item for enlarging Citizens Military
Training Corps camps. This increase would
enable the enrolment of 1880 young men,
instead of $4,000 under the House bill.
The House also has before it two bills, one
backed by Chief of staff Macarthur, further
miIitarizing the Civilian Conservation Corps.
They would add two months to CCC enlist
ments 10 prepare the young woodsmen for
hve-yea- course in the auxiliary reserve force.
To what end sober-minded Americans are
asking, these martial gestures on Capitol Hill?
Even we're we faced by danger Of an in
vading foe, which we are not, these methods
would not advance effective preparedness.
Perhaps, the purpose is what some are pleased
tc call educational"
In the Infantry Journal recently Lieut. Col.
R. A. Hill of the General staff wrote 1T is
apparent that the Junior Or. o. T. c.
units should not be considered producers of
reserve officers. The great value of the
Junior units lies in their disciplinary and edu-
rational possibilities"
Ross Collins, when chairman of the House
subcommittee on military appropriations, adj
vccated abolition Of the C. M. T. c. on the
ground that they were expensive and ineff1-
Gent Gen. SummeraI thought them worth
less from a military viewpoint. In 1880 Col
Inns said: we trained 10000 men and got 10
officers out of them" Lieut. Col Hill admits
they have failed in fulfilling their mission" of
producing officers, but not from publicity
viewpoint"
An impressive group of educators ministers
and publicists have protested to President
Roosevelt over Army attempts to capture the
CCC, and make poor soldiers out of good
woodSmen.
We may not be in danger of invasion by
foreign relationships but the invasion of their
ideas apparently has begun.

THE FOLLY OF THE LAW

MIR. BUNDLES immortal declaration that
4VA the law is ass" is not without plenty
of confirmation. Sometimes the supporting
evidence is pretty tragic.
AS an instance, consider the case Of the
unmarried housemaid in Austria who was sem
fenced to two months imprisonment the other
day because her baby froze to death in her
arms.
When her child was born, the girls en-
ployers Immediately turned her out of their
house She went to her parents home, and
they likewise refused to admit either her or
her child. So she started trudging off through
the cold on a Several-mile hike to her grand
parents. On the way the baby froze to DEATH
Now she has been Jailed as IAN offense
against the security of life"
If the law is not at times, just as much of
an ass as Mr.. Bundle said it was, wouldn't
that accusation have been leveled against
either her employers or her parentsP

THANK YOUR DENTIST

TINE hardy cave dweller Of old never had
l. modern delicacies like cake, creamed
chicken and ice cream. He gnawed his meat
off the bone and ate unhulled grain-and
according to some modern theorists, because
of that fact he had healthy teeth.
However, DR.. E. B. Renaud professor of
anthropology at Denver University, has been
looking at the skulls of ancient cliff jewellers
in Mesa Verde National Park, and he finds
evidence to the contrary. These old-timers,
who lived on coarse, tough foods all their
lives, had cavities in plenty, suffered from
toothache just as we do, and also had
pyorrhea.
And zone must shudder painfully to think
of having toothache in land where the only
possible remedy was to summon neighbor
and have him knock the decayed tooth out OF
your head with a pointed stone!

DAILY MURDERS

A T the present homicide rate of 90 out
"A of every 100000 persons. insurance stat
isticans estimate that between 10000 and
1880 Americans will die in 1885 at the hands
Of murderers This means that murder will
account for the deaths of about 80 men and
women each day-a grewsome harvest.
Our homicide rate tops that of any So
called civilized land. 1t is two and half
times greater than Italy's. four and a half
times greater than Germanys and Belgium's,
II times greater than England's, 90 times

not carry out the death penalty more fire.

Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.'S. figures
show, the guilty person pays for his crime
with his life in but six cases in 100. In New
York, however 81 per cent of those prose-
cuted were discharged or acquitted; in Great
Britain only SO per cent. While New York
was convicting % out of every 100 accused

criminals The removal of slums, poverty, in

DEMOCRATIC FOLLY

WHEN the bill enlarging the Home Owners
w Loan Corporations lending powers
comes up in the Senate, RepubHcan-Progress-
i've Senator Norris probably will have to lead
a fight to save the Democrats from their own
folly.
The Nebraskan led a similar fight last
year, but the job-hungry Democratic major
ity defeated his amendment to place HOLC
appointments and promotions on merit basis.
Meanwhile there has been rising curve in
the rush for patronage.
In order to get more jobs for constituents,
tie House Democratic majority packed the
new HOLC bill with provisions which threaten
to break down that corporations efficiency.
The Sweeney amendment permitting home
loan installment payments at postofflces would
needlessly add several hundred persons to the
nav roll Another provision would displace
nine of the IL regional managers and large
number of minor employees because they do
not happen to reside in the areas served by
their offices.
Obviously, such provisions were never in
tended to aid distressed home owners who
borrow or protect the taxpayers whose money
is lent. This patronage raid, unless defeated
in the Senate may result in making the future
management of the Hole a major Admin
istration scandal.
