Honest Failure, He Charges

NOTHING in all Of Mr. Ickes' honest lawyers
Y life remotely suggested that he could do such
iob-and he didn't do it. 1t folly to expect
him to do it,
Now this was wholly unnecessary During all
that time there stood unused the best and most COM
plete engineering overhead in the world the United
States Army Corps of Engineers 1t was trained and
accustomed to just such tasks equipped to handle
them, and it had century-od reputation for non
partisanship and honesty which is the full peer of
Mr.. Ickes' reputation.
1t might not have done the job either, but at
least it had engineers chance to do it and Mr.
Ickes didn't have a Chnamans
Either as an aid to recovery, a construction pro-
gram a vehicle of employment PWA is failure
honest but complete.

-BY DAVID DIETZ-

a GIGANTIC cataclysm in which the was
A torn loose from the earth brought the oceans
and continents into existence. So thinks DR. Will
ham Bowie, chief of the division of geodesy of the
United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.
The idea that the moon was formed from ma
terial torn from the earth first advanced many
years ago by Sir George Darwin son of the Charles
Darwin Of evolutionary fame Shortly thereafter
another British scientist, the Rev Osmund Fisher
suggested that Darwin's theory the most logical
to explain the division of the earths surface into
continents and oceans.
While admitting that the problem still is one of
the puzzles of geology, DR. Bowie says that he re-
CARDS the Darwin Fisher theory as he calls it, as the
best so far advanced. Writing in the scientific
Monthly, DR.. Bowie shows that the theory conforms
logically with the geological discoveries and theories
OF the present century
d ECENT geological studies DR.. Bowie saws have
IN revealed that the earthS crust is like huge
blanket wrapped around the earth 1t floats upon
the lower portions of the earth just blanket OF
ice might float upon the Atlantic Ocean,
The continents composed of GRANTEES which
float high upon the underlying material. The ocean
beds are composed OF heavier rocks which sink down
into the stuff beneath
All modern reasoning DR.. Bowie SAYS points to
the conclusion that the GRANTEES now composing the
continents must have originally Soidified as a shell
surrounding the entire earth How then are we to
account for the breaking up of this shell into CONT
nentS?
The tearing loose of the moon from the earth is
the only satisfactory solution to date according to
DR.. Bowie

enough to say so, out loud, to
date.
If that kind of pressure may
Influence legislators in peace
time, the pressure exerted on
them in wartime can be easily
imagined,
The last war was financed by
America. 1t financed the war by
the extension of billions of dol
lars worth of credit to customers
so that they could buy and keep
American industry operating full
steam ahead
rs there any reason why America
- can not finance itself to keep
out of another war, in exactly the
same manner as it financed itself
into the World War?
If 40 billions of credit can be
extended to foreigners to buy
from us to keep American econo-
my operating, can not 40 billions
of credit be extended to American
consumers instead of foreigners,
upon the next occasion?
What have Herbert Hoover and
Franklin Roosevelt been doing but
just that, these last five years of
peace?
1t may be very nice to make
profits out of another fellows war.
1t may be very delightful to pull
ourselves out of our own depres-
sion that way.
But it is the way that leads di-
rectly to American participation
and what we might make up in
profits in the year or two before
we went in, we would promptly
lose three and four times over i'll
the subsequent years.

That Mug Got Fresh With Ner

COON M Carpenter was receiving mail by the
~ bushel and so much of this correspondence came
in scented envelopes that the room in which it was
dumped reeked like an Italian barber shop
M. Carpenter called the Orchid Man" but
rather oddly it not lady reporter writing from
the womanS angle who invented this pretty descrip-
ton, but fight reporter.
So there came the great day when Tex Ricksrd
asked Jack Dempsey not to knock him out too soon
because all those nice people had paid 81 100000 TO
see the fight M. Carpenter honestly mised by his
spurious success in the first round popped Dempsey
on the chin in round two
That mug got fresh with me- Mr.. Dempsey said
when he returned to his corner, and Jack Kearns
his manager said, Yes the bum that's what you get
for doing him favor Go on out and knock him
over"

warning were drowned by the
shouts of the profit drunk popu-
lace.
Actually, the products we made
went into other nations and they
enjoyed the fruits they provided,
but we were paying the bill at
the time
In 1929, this huge bubble sud-
denly burst and down came the
whole house of cards.
A ND from 1929 on we have
4 "A been trying to repair the
damage, by trying to make the
same machine work, with the
same tools, the same oil and the
same gasoline!
And it has, indeed, begun to
show signs of life again. And we
are exporting But we have also
tried other experiments. We have
instituted a cotton control pro-
gram and wheat control scheme.
Take cotton, for instance. The
cotton producers of the South
provided the world with most of
its cotton at one time. But due
to the intensity of the white mans
civilization, with his present in
dustrial and economic set-up, cot
ton prices fell plumb to the bot
tom.
So cotton producers of America
were told that they must produce
only so much, and be paid for
what they didn't produce. The
government now has a surplus of
six million bales on its hands and
is trying to guarantee a set price
to the producers.
In the meantime, the Southern
cotton producers have lost many
of their foreign markets with little
prospect of ever getting them back
again. The Egyptians and the
Indians have stepped in, where
the Southerners stepped out.

bankrupt the government, as well

n Fortune, constitute The
skeleton Of modern war, and the
war plans Of any nation must
include definite means for their
procurement against any supposed
major power or coalition of pow
ers. No nation in the world ex-
cept the United States and Russia
has anything like complete sup
ply Of these materials within it's
own borders.
THE United States has eight
and Russia about the same. The
remaining II are listed by the
United States War Department
as 'strategical materials
These are:
Antlmony Chromium
Nickel Nitrates
Manganese Rubber
Mercury Tin
Mica Tungsten
Wool
But due to the fact that we
annually consume more of most of
these materials than the rest of
the world combined, there are al
ways considerable supplies on hand.
SO the above list really boils down
to:
Chromium (obtainable from At
RIGA, Russia. Just discovered in
the PhilippineS.)
Manganese PRUSSIA, Africa. Bra

Nickel Canada, Africa, BrazilD
Rubber (Malaya, Ford planta-

=. But even these tables do
not show our war-making power
in full If you take resources
alone, Russia is almost as richly
endowed as we are, and has, be-
sides, two great key materials that
we lack manganese and chro-
mium).
But Russia is not yet equipped
to exploit her resources and the
military significance of this fact
is merely that the United States
can turn out more guns, more
tanks, more automobiles, more

resources than Russia and hence

The English-speaking peoples,
therefore, could easily police the
world, should they SO desire, or
block practically any other coali-
ton of powers"
And in this mastery exposition,
Fortune winds up with this obser-
walton: 1T will be especially diff
flcult for us to escheW war in the
future for the reason of our in
duStrlal and raw material Suprem-
acy. A war in almost any quar-
ter of the world may affect our
industrial mechanism, and our
natural supplies are bound to
affect the destinies of the bellig-
erent elsewhere"
CELDOM has the United States
~ raw material picture been
painted SO clearly in so few
words, America, since the passage
of the World War, has become
more closely linked with the
world than ever.
We could be isolated-if we
chose to live unto ourselves. But
we are not isolated because we
have built up an industrial and
social economy which is more in
tense than even that of the rest
of the world.
And We play a role, a distinct
and very emphatic role, in the
whole industrial and social econ
ony of the world itself, as dis
tinct from our own domestic
set-up.
The pressure of the Interests"
forced Wilson to let down the
barriers. We became the supply
house for the world at war for
four years.
Our machinery was stepped up
to take care of this tremendous
flood of orders Factories eX-
panded. New machinery was de-
vised to speed the pace. The loans
and credits became larger and
larger.
And accordingly, the social life
expanded at the same rate.
XXTHEN the war was over, the
w American industrial and So
cial economy was faced with
either continuing the same pace,
or slowing down TO normal again.
The political powers we're afraid
to take the latter and only sane
course. The industrial powers
didn't want to, because for four
years profits had rolled in like
a golden stream, and being hu-
man, they couldn't stand to see
it all suddenly come to an end.
So America took the insane
course and kept up the pace.
But it found it could only do it
by extending the loans and credits
to bankrupt and war-weary
world. So the loans and credits
were made. And for time things
were lovely.
Production kept merrily on it's
way, Prices went up, profits rolled
in and everybody had a glorious
time playing the market No
body stopped to consider that
what we were doing was really
selling what we produced, to our
selves.
