News Headlines
THE TOWNSEND CLOUD

In a country as large as this and
afflicted with universal suffrage, it
is inevitable that periodically there
should arise political evangelists-
some sincere, others calculating |
dema gogic-with what to a certain
type seems inspired solutions for TIE
nations problems, palatable prescip-
tons for making happier those
among people who earn their living
by the sweat of their broows.'
Behind all thes panaceas there are
two basic thoughts-cne the entirely
false notion that by the sweat OF
the brow is the hardest way to make
living; the other, that those who
do earn theirs that way should get
more money for less sweat. Invari-
ably they are aimed at reduction
Of work and an increase in pay. That
appeals to natural desire not at
all confined to those with sweating
brows. These schemes attract the
great mass of credulous voters in
PROMOTION TO the decree they pro-
pose to ELIMINATE labor ard raise the
rewards. The ideal proposition, Of
course, is the one which provides
for no sweating at all, but adequate
and unearned support of the nom
taxpayers. To that we seem to draw
closer all the time.
There have been more of these
alluring counterfeits in the past
three years than in the previous thir-
tv. There is the "Share- the-wealth"
scheme of the late Huey Long, still
beinr promoted hv his political heirs
and asigns; the National Union Tor
Social justice of Father Coughlin.
the great, "EPIC" idea of UPTON SIN
clair, Or. Francis Townsend's plan
: to give every needy person over 60
years. 5000 month on condition that
he spend it all every 80 days.
All these are blood brothers, or al
least cousins, Of Mr.. Roosevelt's- New
Deal. They are only slightly more
unsound than the thrilling expert
ments involved in the AAA, IRA
:NY.A, the FILA and other alphebet,
;cal agencies for the promotion OF
the More Abundant Life.
of all these proposals, undoubted.
ly the most plausible and persuasive
in the LAST 30 years is the Townsend
plan. It's ut5gr unwoIkaoiis IS. com
pletely provabie by figures. Yet sc
appealing is the idea and so clever
its presentation that some millions
of respectable and sincere peorle
have embraced it with almost reIig-
ious enthusiasm. Directed by efficI-
ent organizers Of the Anti-Saloon
League type, there is scarcely state
in which it's clubs are not establish
ed, and particularly in the nest it he's
achieved a political power to which
congressman and even senators with
naticral reputation defer. Yet, a.
bottom, they know it as the "cruel
hoax"-which one republican presi-
dental aspirant, Colonel Frank Knox,
was courageous enough to openly as
sert.
