about as follows: II the league, organized TO
prevent aggressive action by any member
state. fails to make at least an honest effort
to prevent the Italian drive on Ethiopia it
leaves the way wide open for aggressive ac-
ton by any other state.
In that case. the principal reason for the
leagues existence would seem to be Cancelled.
Great Britain. threatening to withdraw if this
state of affairs is allowed to develop. merely
points out that in such case the league would
lose what small usefulness it has ever pos
sessed.
From the very beginning the league has
failed to live up to the expectations of its
founders. This has been due to variety of
reasons, including the fact that the French
have consistently tried to make of the league
a super-alliance to enforce the provisions Of
the Versailles treaty upon Germany. But the
chief reason is the simple fact that no stream
can rise higher than its source.
Concerted international effort to keep one
nation from taking aggressive action toward
another nation may be beautiful ideal, but
it is hard thing to obtain in a world whose
principal nations have all been guilty OF ag-
gressiye action in the past and plan to be
guilty of it again in the future.
Nevertheless, if there is to be any kind of
international check on war, something of this
sort must be attained The refreshing thing
about the latest British gesture is the fact
that it reminds the world at large that if the
league can not do this it might as well go out
Of existence
1t remains to be seen how effective this
gesture will be. There is just a chance that
it will have enough of a SOLDERING effect on
such nations as France to make possible a
concerted and effective protest But the
chance is a slim one
Meanwhile, however, it will serve useful
purpose, if it reminds us all that abolishing
war from the modern world calls for some
thing more than pious resolutions and high
sounding phrases.

JOBS IN NEW INDUSTRIES

THE solution of the unemployment prob
lem seems to lie in the development of
new industries, to very great extent. BY
creating series of entirely new jobs, our
chronological civilization does its best to pro-
vide openings for workers dispossessed of their
jobs by the decline in older trades.
Figures compiled by the National Indus
trial Conference Board, for instance, show
that in 1929 fully one-seventh of all American
workmen had jobs in industries which did not
even exist half a century previously.
The auto industry, for instance, employed
some 100000 men-not counting garage men,
filling station operators, etc. The electrical
machinery industry employed 5000 men.
From there the list scales down to smaller in
dustries, with $500 finding jobs in the making
of fountain pens.
Just how all this applies to our present
problem is not quite clear-unless indeed, it
means that complete recovery must await
the development of brand-new, large-scale
industries to provide yet unheard-of set
of jobs.

RFC AID MATTER
OF CHOICE WITH BANKS

BY r. H. Stone
The recent bank statements of
Marion County showed that more
than half of the banks in Indian
apolis had no capital of the Re-
construction Finance Corp. in their
capital structure. Outside of the
city the number was about evenly
divided.
One bank, the largest outside of
the city (but still in the county,
showed more than so per cent of it's
demand deposits tied up in gov
eminent bonds, while another out
lying bank showed only Is per cent
of its demand deposits sent to
Washington for relending.
These two banks also showed in
their statements that the first had
a hook-up with the RFC, while the
last did not show any capital re-
ceived from the Washington hold
ing company To the outsider this
naturally raises a question. Is
there any connection between the
amount of demand deposits sent
away from home and the presence
or absence of the control accompa-
nying connection with the financial
holding company known as the
RFC? Doubtless it is simply mat
ter of choice by each bank as to
which way they desire to function,
either as a unit Of a nation wide
holding company or as an indie
pendently operated institution.

BELIEVES SPEED BOAT

By Sunday Observer
Not as a boat owner, but as an
observer from the bank, could not
help but notice last Sunday the fine
craftsmanship displayed by the
drivers of the speed boats or White

Beach, many times / saw these
boats detour around an unmarked
and unguarded beach even when no
swimmers were in the water. Later,
when rowing on the river, I was
passed many times by these water
craft-aIWays at a safe distance and
throttled speed.
Those who own speed boats are OF
an apparent sportsmanlike and
courteous clan, for never, after sew

Urges Traffic Safety

BY D. W. S.
I doubt if I ever have seen a
more effective picture strip than
the one which you had on the
first page of your paper last night.
1t surely carried the lesson OF
safety into every home where
your paper is read, and it APP
pears to me that you would gain
much more standing in this COM
munity if you devoted the inter
estS of your newspaper to more
of these constructive measures.
When the paper came last night
my son was the first to see it. He
showed it to the other two children
and I noticed that he was lectur-
ing them along the lines of safety
and telling them that they should
not play in the streets. He illus
trated each of his remarks by
pointing to one Of the four pic
lures.
I've noticed in months past that
The Times has gone out of its way
to attempt to teach the people
of this community the lesson of
safety Although you have done
good work, it appears that when
you deal with human nature, you
can only go so far and no further.
1t sometimes makes me shud-
der to see little children running
across the street intersections,
many of them so young and so
absorbed in play that they have
no idea what dangers confront
them. A child, as long as he
never has been burned, never will
have any fear of fire, but it would

UTILITY COMPANIES ARE
"MALIGNANT CLOUD"

BY Thomas d. MCGEE
l read with much interest and I
desire to commend your excellent
editorial entitled "Bigness." And it
suggests to me the thought that
economic and social danger to our
society is not threatened SO much
by mere bigness of our corporate
and industrial institutions as by
their completely and multitudinous
inter- relationships.
1t was disclosed some time ago
that a great New York City banking
institution absolutely controlled
through interlocking directorShipS
and holding companies a number of
companies engaged in manufacture
ing and industrial enterprises, die
tating the prices of their products,
the wage scales, etc.
It's identity concealed, the bank
was a kind of invisible dictator of
the policies and destinies and be-
havior generally of a long list Of
other corporations, with whom it
had no affinity. Its power as a bank
was magnified a thousandfold by its
power over subordinate companies.
BigneSs, when it implies such
power and prestige as was exempli-
fled by the utility companies in
dealing with our present Congress,
is indeed a menace to the entire
country, and to all our political in
situations, our government and our
Constitution. The most malignant
cloud on our national horizon is, in
my judgment, corporations of the
kind and character of the utility
companies.

BRITISH HURL GAUNTLET

An unexpected note of common sense

league was organized, it is suggestion from
one of the principal members that the league

or quit.

WHAT THOMAS JEFFERSON

If through some mystery, Thomas
Jefferson were to return in flesh

great accomplishments. what would
be his response to the governmental
activities Of today? There is prob
ably room for much debate on that
question.
But with the knowledge of the
past in his mind, there is one thing
he would surely denounce with all
the vigor he could arouse in his
body and that would be racial and
religious persecution.

SOnnetS of a
Sojourner
BY BERTRAM DAY

Famed Son Of Avon, bard of noted
lore,
King Apotheosis of English tongue!
We bow in reverence beside your
door
And listen to the songs your soul has
sung.
Ophelia picks rosebuds in the fields
And Hamlet lives in his soliloquy,
Old Shylock shuns the verdict JUS
tice yields
When Portia pleads with queenly
majesty.
For Shakespeare climbed Parnas-
sus' lonely heights,
Up rugged sleeps he made his way
TO fame;
He stands alone, a beacon mid the
lights,
Efulgent rays immortalize his
name!
The bones of men may sleep be-
meath the sod
But thoughts remain as symphonies
from God.

URGES KERN TO
KEEP MAYORS JOB

By A. c.
Did the people of Indianapolis
make a mistake when they elected
John w. Kern Mayor? Long after
the election he tells us that he pre-
ferred not to be Mayor and wanted
a judicial position. If he feels that
he can not do good job as Mayor
why doesn't he retire to the law
practice?
If he would have received the
judgeship he desired, what a fine
mess we would have been in. We
would have been at the tender
mercies of the Democratic politicians
whose interests do not rise above
their pockets and bill folds. Get
