PRODUCTION FOR USE OR PROFIT?
THE WISER WAY

Production for and not profit has glamor-
Gus lure quite appealing as panaceas like the
Townsend plan. The only trouble with 1t IS that
none of the terms are defined OF understood. Judg-
ing by most of the nonsense one hears on the SUB
ject, one would suppose that America could mme-
diatey step into great material prosperity if only
the profit motive were eliminated. For have We
not learned how to produce without limit, now that
man has conquered nature with the machine?
Yet as we look at the actual figures, we find, as
William J. Cameron, of the Ford Motor company
that industry proper, engaged in the production of
physical goods accounts for only about one-sixth
of our normal working population. 1t would seem
that in modern society there is something more to
economics than the mere process of physical pro-
duction. Production is only the start. For every
man employed in factory production Industry
nearly four are employed in getting the product
to market, its sale, the education, policing, enter
tainment and medical of all the various people
engaged in the long process from original produc
ton to final consumption In this long process
where does "use" end and profit begin?
The same sort of indefniteness comes into the
current demands that industry re-employ the I'M
employed and quickly, cor else" But as Mr.. Cam
eron pointed out industry has never employed
more than 100000 out of our 48000,O0 work
ing population, and is even now employing some
1000, 900. He asks, quite simply, how industry
be expected to give work to 100000 addi-
tional, if that many now unemployed. The
answer, of course, is obvious. The unemployed
will find work throughout our whole economy when'
as and if prices, laws and host of other things
are allowed to become adjusted that men can
exchange each others services on basis that to
them is useful and therefore proftable.-The Wall
Street Journal.

CONSTITUTION STILL SUPREME

T. i reported in Washington that group OF new
dealers in congress is at work drafting Legislation
70 curb the power of federal courts to null1y acts
of congress on constitutional grounds. The pros
,,ect Of being able to bring about the adoption or
rcb q measure in advance Of election, is not very
broht But if the reformerS were able to get their
n,ooram on the books someone could be relied on
70 test the validity of such action in the courts
whore it would be declared unconstitutional and
the new dealers would be right back where they
started.
\ proposal to put congress beyond the pale Of
the constitution would mean an end to constltu-
tionaI government. There is no doubt about that
rsoint and no room for argument on the subject l.
congress could do as it pleases, without regard 10
constitutional limitations, ours woul dbecome gov
eminent based only on what majority OF congress
might want That would be very wide departure
from what we have and a serious menace to the
liberties of people.
The constitution was deliberately adopted by the
forefathers to provide safeguards that have served
this country we'll. Imagine what might happen I'M
der a setup with a president and overwhelming
majority in congress of his party and willing TO
indorse ANYTHING sent to the legislative halls from
the executive Offices Without constitutional restrlc
tions there is no limit to the reforms that might
be put into force, regardless of their desirabllty
or of the extent to which they would change the
whole theory of our government.
The people did not elect the present adminlstra-
ton officials, for example, to design some new
theory of government and put it into force. IL
there is to be any change that must be made IN &C
cordance with the rules under which the nation mas
functioned from the beginning. If we do not like
the rules we are at liberty to alter them but only
the people can amend the constitution And untll
the people do authorize a departure from the TIME
honored system, the new dealers in congress ana
elsewhere will have to be guided by the constitu-
tion-Muneie Cnd) Star.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By IKE WALTON

Sally got a present of a radio
some time ago and now when L
can't go out to hear the birds sing,
or when Sally is too busy to listen
to me, or Sam wont talk, some
times jiggle the triggers and let
the thing shoot. Well, that's how
I got to hear that big New York
preacher. DR.. Fosdick. He said the
difference between Mussolini and
Edison was that Mussolini turns
the light on himself and Edison
enabled everybody to turn light
on everything, Or something like
that. CDR. Fosdick can beat Sam
at using words that mean some
thing).
Now it is sometimes dangerous
to turn too much light on your
self. Mussolini might do well 10
listen to Dr.. Fosdick. The old time
religion would do him more good
than any Of the new varieties Hit
Ter is Matching up in Germany.
For example: Let him that thinF-
eth he standeth take heed lest he
fall"; "He that diggeth a ditch
shall fall therein; "Not many
mighty are called; "a soft an.
swer turneth away wrath; Goo
hath made the weak things of the
world to confound the mighty"
"The first shall be last and the
last first; HE that taketh the
sword shall perish by the sword"
Isn't it curious how hard it is
for big fools to learn anything
any better than little ones. The
Gar, the Kaiser, Charles l, Ma
poleon and plenty more got to
thinking they were gods of some
sort and each one got his, sooner
or later, but it's all lost on MussO-
lini and his sort. The fate of fools
seems never deterrent to a new
crop. The worst thing about the
big idiots is that so often enor-
nous numbers Of people are fooled
by them too. Napoleon started to
Russia with a million men. Herr
Hohenzollern had all Germany
housekeeping. Now comes Mus
solini with the Italian women Civ
ing him their wedding rings. Is
lunacy catching? Does it spread
like the flu?
Governor Johnston of South
Carolina set Mussolini a good eX-
ample. He called off his war-dogs
and made terms with the legisla-
ture. Maybe II Duce has gone too
far, but it would be better for
him to retire to his valley and
quit than to be whipped and to
cost humanity another such taste
of hell-on-earth as they had TWEEN
tv years ago. But maybe the cup
of wrath must be drained to the
dregS before it's utter bitterness le
found by the unhappy continent
which has dominated the world for
the last five hundred years.

ON THE AIR

But Anna said he wasn't.

they should not do it while they

How do you pronounce "hein-
ous?"
4 well-known radio commenta-
tor calls it "he-nus;" but Web
stcr's new dictionary says it IS
"hay-nuS."
1t is heinous offense to pro-
nounce "heinous," "he-nuS."
1t is all right for us to have diff
ferent opinions about the various
undertakings of the New Deal.
But there is one thing we should
get together on-the prOnuncia-
ton of the name of the president
of the United States.
At one event where the presi-
dent spoke, those who preceded
and followed him, pronounced his
name in five different ways. That
must have sounded funny to for
eigners.
The name Roosevelt" means
rose field. and it is pronounced
"Ro-ze-yelt." The accent is on the
first syllable. The second sc"
should be touched so lightly as to
pronounce the name almost "ROz-
Welt"
Another point: Though "Roose-
welt" means field of roses,
"White House" does not mean q
,ed of roses.

WOODROW WILSON, STATESMAN
OR TRAITOR?

On Saturday of this week-December 2Sth-is
the birthday of Woodrow Wilson.
Nearly twelve years have elapsed since his pass
ing. But now he is to go on trial in the court Of
public opinion. His record is to be 'impeached'
by those who wish to force by act of congress next
month change in Americas historic policy of
neutrality. '-'
The effort is to prove that Woodrow Wilson was
influenced by financial and material interests-the
responsiveness of international bankers and NUM-

family who presumably put material considerations

Ia WORLD SHOULD AGREE TO END
WARS CAUSES
(Bv BRUCE CATION

If YOU have been indignant because Ihe
British and the French took to deallng
from the bottom of the deck in the present
League of Nations game of dealers choice,
il might pay you to think this matter OIL
sanctions through to its logical CONCLUSION
In its fumbling way, the world has accl-
dentally got hold of weapon that could
literally abolish war, if used properly. Get
all the nations of the world together in a
program of sanctions and you have an ab-
solutely irresistible force - provided, OF
course, that Laval or a Hoare doesn
double-cross the whole crowd at the last
minute
But while the ending of war is one or
the most tremendous boons which the hu-
man mind can imagine, it isn't the whole
story.
If the world is going to club together to
abolish war, it must also do something
about removing the things that make peo-
pie want to go to war. If it doesn't, its
League of Nations would be only a new de-
vice for making injustice enduring.
People who get out in the street and
whoop it2sup for war. don't do so out q
pure eassedness. Underneath the surface
enthusiasm there is always desire to get
out from under something that can't be
carried any longer. Horrible as it is, there
can be times when war looks to be the only
escape from an uncomfortable situation.
The most warlike nations today seem to
be Italy, Germany, and Japan. Is this be-
cause the Italians, the Germans, and the
japanese are ogres, who delight in blood
shed and like nothing better than to drop
bombs on nurseries and hospitals? Not at
all. They are ordinary human beings like
ourselves who are simply so far back Of
the eight ball that they are willing to suf-
fer anything to get out.
These people, who are either fighting or
preparing to fight, are doing so because.
they need break. They need raw mate
EialS, or markets for their manufactured
goods; if they don't get them, they are
doomed to suffer progressively increasing
economic depression. Naturally, they
would rather fight.
If the world proceeds to make fighting
impossible, it obviously must do something
to meet such needs. In other words, it must
make raw materials and markets easier of
access to all. 1t must change its ideas on
things like tariffs and colonies and spheres
of influence"
The price of world peace is a complicat-
ed thing. It calls for intelligence and good
will to make the earth's richness available
to all. If the world isn't willing to pay that
price, it might just as we'll stop fooling
around with its League of Nations right
now.
