NEED OF SHIPS

WTHETHER the present quarrel over
W Ethiopia results in war or peace, you
can safely make a large bet that it will be
followed by some extensive naval building on
the part of Great Britain.
1t is not often that any potential enemy
catches the British lion asleep, but Musso-
lini seems to have done precisely that in the
present argument.
British sea power. which has made the
empire invulnerable for close to three cen
turtles, is relatively at a low ebb in the Medi-
terranean today. AS things stand now, if Italy
and England went to war, the advantage
would rest with Italy in the chosen field of
operations.
For a great many years it was cardinal
point of British policy to maintain in the
Mediterranean fleet that would be stronger
than any two Mediterranean fleets that could
possibly be mustered against it. That situa-
ton does not obtain today. In the waters adj
jacent to Italy. NIusSolinis fleet is actually
the stronger.
England, to be sure. has infinitely greater
reserves BY sending the home fleet to Malta
she could confront Italy with an overwhelm-
ing force. But to do so would be to leave the
home front unprecedented thing which in the
present state of European politics Britain
would be very loath to do.
But even if that were done. Italy would
remain potent force across the empires most
vital trade route. Italy has some of the fast
est, Understanding cruisers af1oat, a very
large group of destroyer fotillas, and an
abundance of up-to-date submarines What
these could do in confined waters like the
Mediterranean must give British admiralty
officials Nightmares.
Italy'S strategic position across the trade
route to the Suez canal was recognized as long
ago as 1887 when Lord Salisbury made it a
cardinal point of British policy to remain
on friendly terms with Italy. For that reason
Italy's growing naval strength never worried
the authorities at London-until overnight,
the old policy was shelved and Italy was con-
fronted as possible foe.
Few things are certain in an uncertain
world, but one certainty is that England will
never let herself get caught twice in an I'M
favorable naval position. However this cur
rent dispute comes out, you can take it for
granted that the British fleet will be ma
terially strengthened in the near future
Since the American Navy has been insisting
on parity with the British, new construction
in England will mean demands for new con-
struction in this country.
Before the new naval estimates are drawn
up in London, Americans should review their
own policy carefully. Will it be worth while
for Us to spend scores of millions on new ships
simply because England is going to strengthen
her Mediterranean fleet?

ONCE again the Old world is preparing for
~ new war. perhaps more bloody and
more devastating than the war to end war"
But last Sunday indianapolis heard a SER
mon on the futility Of war. 1t was a sermon
without words story Of heroic men.
Seventeen years ago in the shell-ravaged
fields of France. men crouched in trenches
awaiting the order to go over the top"-to
kill or be killed
Those men were simply Americans or Ger
mans. They were not fighting as man against
man. Yet they were foes to the death All
they knew was that they were fighting for
God and for Country"
Sunday some Of those same men who
crouched in trenches II years ago. ready for
the fatal signal. met in indianapolis.
But, in place Of glinting bayonets. they met
each other with outstretched hands All of
these men were more than ordinary soldiers.
They had been decorated for valor under fire.
Those heroes, if asked could tel the nations
Of the world something about war.
What they could say is that war is futile,
war Is horrible, war is brutal. war settles
nothing.

THE OLD ORDER PASSETH

DIETRICK LOEWE. pioneering hat manu-
- facturer of Danbury and leading figure in
one Of the most famous labor wars in our
history. has just died in his Connecticut home,
a broken and discouraged old man Of So.
The passing of this one-time hatter'S APP
prentice who became a very rich man means
more than Just the death Of an interesting
character. It marks the closing of a chapter.
Dietrich Loewe. like many of his generation,
was a complete individualist. When labor
unions vainly tried to organize his plant and
struck he hired strike breakers. When they
set up a national boycott against him he
went to court. He charged the United Hat
tiers with violation Of the antitrust law,
asked damages of his former employees and
attached their homes. The Supreme Court
upheld him, even in his demand for interest
on the damage award.
Finally. after 10 years Of fighting, the
American Federation Of Labor paid the dam
ages and the case was dropped Dietrich
Loewe won" against the workers who had
helped him make his fortune, but he lost his
money and his business.
Today such a savage war as the one this
industrial overload waged with his workers
would be against the letter and the spirit OF
law. 1t would also be against the spirit of
the times

IRVING FISHERS OPTIMISM

A S compared with the holding company bill,
the Guffey coal BILL AAA amendments,
and other highly controversial measures, the
new banking bill received comparatively small
public attention in the recent Congress. But
there are those who say it is the most impor-
tant of all, and will have more far-reaching
effect on the economic life of the nation than
all the others put together
Especially significant therefore, is what
Prof Irving Fisher of Yale is now writing on
the subject for The Indianapolis Times.
AS with the original Federal Reserve Act,
opposition against this Eccles bill was strong
in high and powerful financial circles. Finally,
however, it was passed and Mr. Fisher makes
this sage comment which we believe to be
good psychology:
However distasteful, once legislation is
passed and on the statute books, business
speedily adjusts itself to the reality"
The central theme of Mr.. Fishers analysis
is defense of the governments big borrowing
policy
He distinguishes between pocketbook
money and caeckbook money, pointing out that
checkbook money vastly exceeds pocketbook
money as a circulating medium. He explains
how checkbook money in normal times was
created. When a person borrowed at bank,
the amount of the commercial loan was
entered on the books Of the bank, and became,
presto, checkbook money. When the loan was
paid, checkbook money was decreased by the
amount of the payment Normally, a balance
was maintained by loans and repayments be-
rJ0 r;o
the sudden surge for liquidation, the wholesale
calling of loans, and presto again, third of
all The checkbook money vanished. Now says
Mr. Fisher, the government has taken the
place of the private borrower. And by the very
same process as that which occurred when
private borrower got credit at his bank, the
amount of Uncle Sans borrowings has created
that much checkbook money. And better than
the private system, says Mr. Fisher, when the
government borrows it does so by the bond
route and such loan can't be quickly called,
as can commercial loans. Hence, the posi-
bility of a sudden large and sharp drop in the
checkbook money supply is eliminated.
THE billions which the government has
borrowed and has injected into business" he
writes, "are one reason why the rising indices
of security and business values should be re-
garded with hope and belief that they do not,
this time, represent flash in the pan"
While we must confess to a certain cynicisn
about financial experts, after all they had to
so through in the lush 20s and the dark days
that followed, and while this care-free view
of vast governmental debt inclines us to reach
for the salt-cellar. nevertheless we are not in
the mood to reject such optimism hands down.
Instead, our disposition is to classify Mr..
Fishers conclusions as extremely important if
true, to hope that he's right, and that he isn't
just another of the kind Of experts covered by
the Peter Witt definition

away from home who gets 500 a day.

PRACTICAL REASONING

IRON the simple, private and altogether
proper motive of keeping out of trouble,
We believe 1t is imperative that the United
States send no athletes to next years Olympic
games in Berlin.
The worlds nerves are frayed enough, there
is enough bitter feeling crises enough nova
dayc arise unso,. without deliberately cross
ing the ocean to get in the storms path. And
the storm is there, ready to break
Some members of any American team will
be Jews, unquestionably Not only would
these athletes risk personal embarrassment in
Germany. but almost inevitably they would
be the center of friction in the contests.
Furthermore, in the air of fanatical national
ism blowing across Germany today. highly
competitive group of foreigners. particularly
a group which might have defeated German
rivals, would serve as a constant threat to the
peace.
This argument has nothing to do with
moral position and utters no word of pro-
test. 1t is entirely practical.
There have been many demands for protest
against German persecution, even by members
OF Congress and others in official position.
But failure to send a team to Berlin would be
no protest. and we are against any gestures
in the matter which could be considered a
protest. There is a high probability that
protest would 90 more harm than good. The
present is no time to drop new irritant into
the International situation.
But sending our athletes to compete in
Germany next year is simply inviting bad
friendship. embarrassing incidents and, in
volyement in controversy. That is the rea-
son we oppose participation.
Virtually every great power in the world
today is sharpening its sword for possible use
against its neighbor. The fact would make
the Olympic games anywhere a problem Tor
the utmost tact and caution. But holding
the games in the very center Of the dyna-
mite creates danger into which this country
should not venture. There is no prospect of
advantage but almost the certainty of evil at
the Berlin Olympics. and so the American team
should stay at home

BY II. l.. Seeger
The focal point Of infection in
our economic system is the pri-
vate ownership of the source of
creating money as a medium of
exchange.
If one manufacturer creates
shoes, clothing or automobiles,
and another is engaged in manu-
featuring money, as is the legal
lied method under our banking
laws, then the manufacturer Of
commodities must compete with
the manufacturer of money to Sc
cure the medium of exchange.
A cOunterfeiter who operates
independent of the law is seized
Immediately if he attempts to
merely make a single unit of
money. He is too ambitious in
his competition with the legalizad
manufacturer Of money.
If he went into production of
postage stamps he would not COM
pete with the money manufac-
turer, but with the government,
which permits private corpora
lions to produce money while it
plays with bonds and stamps.
1t would be Saner to permit pri-
vate corporations to produce post
age stamps for sale at a profit
than to permit the sovereign
function of creating money to be
farmed out as it is today. Sove-
reignty reaches its zenith in the
creation of the medium of eX-
change. Whoever creates it is the
real sovereign and those who
use it are his subjects. Without
this power to create currency any

g The mere fact that the seal Of
the country is placed upon the
privately created currency does
not alter the situation. 1t only
aggravates the tragedy in that it
deceives the populace into believ-
ing that it is a token of popular
sovereignty. Only publicly owned
agencies Of the people are COM
petent to create money.
The fact that the present Sys-
tenn hides behind the fiction of
creating credit to act as substitute
for the lack of an adequate volume
of real money, serves only to con-
fuse the common people.

The government would get the in

real property backing instead OF
the phoney buncombe backing it
has with the present setup.

stead of being vassals and there
would be no depression. This
would abolish all taxes, balance

BELIEVES BALLISTTC MOVE
is UNFORTUNATE

By Times Reader
Police Chief Mike Morrissey has
abolished the ballistic bureau of
the indianapolis Police Department
and transferred Sergt. Arch Ball,
for years head of that valuable de-
partment, to the homicide squad.
The explanation given by Chief
Morrissey was that Sergt. Ball was
using that field to build a personal
reputation rather than furthering
the interests of the police depart
ment.
I hardly believe that Sergt. Ball
used the bureau purposely to gain a
reputation for himself. He couldn't
avoid the publicity. The very
creditable record he has made JUS
titled it.
Not long ago Sergt. Ball pre-
vented the indictment of an limo
cent man through his nitrate pow
der tests.
His knowledge of ballisticS, to-
gether with the facilities of the bu-
reau has brought more than IS in
dictments.
Chief Morrissey indicated the need
for such a ballistics department
when he said that he expects to
build another one some time in the
future.
Sergt. Ball has spent many years
building up the local bureau to a
point where it was performing a
valuable service for the police de-
partment here.
Why did he have to be removed
and his work destroyed only neces-
stating the development of an
other such bureau later?

CORPORATIONS SHOW
THEIR STRENGTH

By C. F. R.
It has been said wisely and truth
fully that corporations are God
given institutions.
The same thing has happened with
corporations as with all other good
governmental creations Of man
that a good thing must exist be-
fore a bad one can survive. 1t be-
hooves us to look for the good and
bad corporations. We can not ad-
nit that the proper course to pur-
sue is to destroy both good and bad
to rid ourselves Of the bad. This IS
like burning a barn down to get rid
of the rats. We can not subscribe
to the theory that the managers Of
corporations are bad or dishonest
because their operations are large or
small.
Any one understanding the work
ings Of money can see the line
drawn clearly between the good and
bad. This understanding reveals
that one kind of corporation is the
life of the nation, another kind is
death. The death-dealing kind has
reached a power so great that the
life-giving corporations can not
survive under the deadly onslaught
Of the other.
Since these death-dealing corpo-
ration thrive on misery, while The
other kind grows weaker, dire re-
suits are in store for us in the fu-
ture. To the ones not having an
understanding of the workings OF
money, the line of division is not
seen, and all corporations look alike
to their blinded eyes. Since there
is no institution of learning that
teaches anything whatever Of th5
workings Of money, why should We
