That's The Idea

It's a tremendous program that Senator Robert F. Wagner, democrat, of New York has just outlined for the federal government. He proposes that Uncle Sam go into the low-cost housing busi- ness on big scale. He doesn't believe that persons, whose annual income is in the $2,500-a-year bracket, are becoming property owners at rapid enough rate. We should say offhand that even persons whose income bracket is twice the above are not in the property-owning class to- day.
 A good many poole are fighting shy of owning their own homes High taxes is to blame in good many cases, but not in all of them. People who were home own CTS prior to 1929, but who have since lost their homes, are not so anxious to go through the same experience and so far sufficient assurance has not been given them that they can avoid the same set of circumstance at point in their lives when they will be less able to weather the storm than they have been in the past five or six years.
 But Senator Wagner would have Uncle Sam provide homes for 8,000,000 families in the $2, 800 or lower bracket. He claims that by 1885 14,000,000 new homes will bD needed in the United States and that ''private industry and limited dividend corporations would have absolutely free play in the construction of the 6,000,000 homes for people of moderate means and for the rich - enough to tax their ca pucity to the utmost and yield returns more profitable than any they have known. ="
 He compares the business gains by ar- tomobile trade with what could be pro- duced by such wholesale investment in homes. Of course 1t does paint sort of rosy future for many lines of business, affecting millions of workers, but some body will have to pay for all this and it may be these same $2,500-a-year workers who will bear the brunt of the tax attack. The right to decent living quarters, of course, strikes responsive chord in even the most hardened legislators breast and perhaps when Congress takes up the Wagner proposal in 1886 it may be worked out to logical end.

Radium Substitute

The Curie family which gave radium to the world, is carrying on as usual. Just as Marie and Pierre Curie won the Nobel prize for discovering radium a generation ago, their daughter Irene and her husband, Prof. Frederick Joliot, now win it for an extension of their work What they have done, though purely scientific, is of interest to humanitari- ans the world over. The chief use of ra- dium has been for cancer, which ir- creases alarmingly. It is very scarce and expensive Many small hospitals lack it altogether. The new discovery is equivalent to great increase in the supply.
 As radium slowly breaks down into simpler clements, it gives out the heal ing rays. The Curie discovery provides the same kind of rays from other ele- ments artificially, by blowing them to pieces with alpha rays" using pow erful electric current. Thus the rays may be obtained from aluminium and other common substances. There will soon be devices widely available for pro- ducing these rays when needed, as simply as X-rays are produced now. It is pleas ant to know that this fine work was fi- nanced by generous Americans.

Interest Rates

The bankers made it plain in their convention at New Orleans that they want the government to stop lending money. Mariner s. Eccles, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, replied: "If you want the government to get out of the banking business then you must get into 1t. Lend money on mortgage paper to the people, instead of lending it to fi- nancial institutions at low per cent"
 To suggestion that the bankers de- clare an embargo on government bonds he retorted: "Those who talk of boy cotting government bonds are like drowning man to whom life line is thrown, but who objects to it as an inter- ference with his individual right and lib- erty to drown"
 In these matters, as usual, there's some thing to be said on both sides, and it is j6eing said. Such debate is Illuminating. The general public wants safe banking, and prefers private banking to public banking, but knows from recent experi- ence that private banking is not entirely safe for depositors, or for itself, without some public control As for interest rates the public doesn't understand why stock spectators should have so much lower interest rates than home-owners with sound mortgages.

Both Come Together

It was purely coincidence of course, that the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin broke away completely from the standard of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the course of his radio address last Sunday afternoon. At various times in the hectic months of the last year and one-half Father Coughlin has taken the admins tration to task for it's sins of omission and commission. He now is deliberately com n1itted to a policy that runs directly op- posite to that of the New Deal. The coin cidence comes in the publication of Presi- dent RooSevelts disavowal of any need for interference in the Mexican situation.
 Oddly enough this religious persecu- Mon in Mexico is something with which the radio priest has not been vitally con cerned, so far as his public addresses are concerned. His interest has been purely domestic and not international, save for 2 barbed shaft or two tossed at interna- tional bankers, diplomats, rulers, etc. The Knights of Columbus hSs borne the brunt of the Mexican case.

done a rather good job of it, too. m fact, we think perIisal of all the facts would show that of the two the Catholic order fared better than the President himself in the exchange of notes on the question.
 A distinguished and brilliant Catholic authority, the noted Jesuit editor, the Rev. Wilfred Parsons, s. J., declared in comment on the Presidents letter that it (the letter. would be signal for perse- cutions to continue in Mexico. In short it was tacit exoneration of any wrong doing in Mexico, although the President prob ably did not intend it as such and merely desired, as he explained, to adhere to a course of non-intervention in religious struggles in other nations. However, President Franklin D. Roosevelt played his predecessor, the late President Theo- dore Roosevelt, shabby trick in quoting a part of the latter's message in connec- ton with religious prosecutions. The meaning of the whole is much different than that of one of it's several parts.

We were quite interested in a headline in recent edition of the Hartford Times. It said, "War on Roraback denied by Borah". Just what sort of a war the sen- ator from Idaho would carry on with the go.p. national committeeman from Con- necticut we don't quite know. Senator Borah, if we are to believe all we read, is not so much candidate for the republi- can nomination as he is out to prevent it going to certain individuals whom he feels would only further endanger the future of the party. The denial is based on rumor that Senator Borah was plan- ming speaking tour through Connecti- cut and New York calling for the busting of Old Guard leaders in republican ranks. We never knew the republicans had Old Guards. However, despite any plans to attack MT. Roraback he can be expected to take care of himself in these encount- CTS as he has so expertly in the past. He bobs up serenely always.

funds, and public audit of the books of account of the Chest, and If pos- sible, of the books of account of ell member organizations.
 The principal features of the joint planning and development of the work of member social agencies are 0 systematic promotion of commit- tee service in which the social agen- cies which participate in the joint campaign, and social agencies, in- cluding public agencies, which do not participate in the campaign are brought together with representa- tives of the public in general for thought and action.
 Also for the prosecution of such special studies and investigations as are required to furnish Q fact basis for the intelligent planning of the social work program of the cofn- munity. Tn addition, serving both the joint finance programs, there should be Q year round program of publicity and education of the pulp lie as the social needs and the serv- ice of the social agencies.
 Before a Chest can be success fully launched the social agencies which 1t would be calculated to finance, and the contributors who would be expected to give the money must 50 far as possible be in favor of the plan. It is essential to have guidance and cooperation from these groups from the initial start. The total income expected for the sup- port of the Chest should come under the following heads: (a) voluntary contributions; (b) income on en- dowments; Co support from taxes; (d) fees for services rendered, in- cluding membership payments for which @ service was rendered to the member.
 It is customary to hold meetings ct appropriate times for the discuss sion by representatives of the social agencies and other leaders in the community to report on the facts gathered regarding the means re- quired, etc., so that an appraisal can be estimated.
 The primary consideration should. be to improve social relief work, and so promote social welfare. A chest is an instrument for getting social work done better. That should be the chief reason for It's existence. One of the difficulties in the way is finding good executive service, as the Chest work is complicated. The campaign must be successful and should be directed by the permanent secretary, if possible, in accord with known principles. Professional leadership in social work is required If the Chest is to maintain the sort of executive service which helps chests to succeed.
 It is possible to administer Com munity Chest without full time ex- ecutive service provided that sub- stitute service of Q high order is available. Tn conclusion the ACC. and Councils are always glad to be consulted as to organization out- lines, executive service and cam paign methods.

Off in corner of Lake Michigan is an island which is a little bit of heaven, a bit of the auld sod. It's Ireland trans ported to America. And there is a great bit of history linked with this unusual settlement, the third oldest one in the state of Michigan. It would take real historian to dig out the real facts about it, but suffice to say that Beaver Island is typical Irish settlement with his- tory as long as that of the United States. And the funny part of it is the fact that few tourists visit the spot and the busy world passes it right by.

PROPER APPRECIATION OF COMMUNITY
 CHEST URGED
Waterbury, Conn. Nov. 2l. 1a3h.

Waterbury, Conn.
 Nov. 2l, 1885, |. Editor of The Democrat:
 Few people In Waterbury under stand the meaning of a Community Chest as operated in Bridgeport, New Haven and in many other towns and cities throughout the United States. It Is not an insti- tuition that can be installed in a community at once. The Associa- ton of Community Chests and Councils recommend that If e mu- nicipality decides to organize Q Chest that action be sufficiently early to allow period of at least two or three months to intervene before the first campaign.
 A Community Chest properly serves two basic functions - the joint financing of member social agencies and the joint planning of the service and development of the work of member social agencies. The term social agencies" is important in this sense. It does not include, for example, churches, political party organizations, lodges, and other types of organizations which, admir- able as they may be in themselves, cannot be expected to win financial support from the entire community although they may try to do so.
 On the other hand 1t does include hospitals, orphanages, family serv. ice organizations, and other social agencies even though they may be conducted under sectarian auspices. The principal features of the joint finance program are: (a) An annual campaign for the income required by the member social agency in the form of voluntary subscriptions for current expenses. (b) An under- standing that no contributor to the Chest may be asked by any member of the member organizations for @ contribution to current expenses during the period anticipated by the Chest campaign. Co A method or budget study and apportionment which will lead to sound and equit- able distribution among the mem Der social agencies, and the Chest central office of the results Of the annual campaign.
 (d) A uniform understanding Con- corning distinction between capital and current expenditures, as related to Chest finance, and @ method Of supervision over capital expense campaigns by member social agen- cies. (e) A sound method Of col- lection of pledges, accounting for

Selected Poem
BIRD's-EYE VIEW.

BIRD'S-EYE VIEW. Stephen L. Freeland in The New York Sun) The bridge scars over the river, Aloof from the gulls and their cries, For the bridge will surely be standing When this years Hedging dies. But the gulls in runic carving Cut their long slow spells overhead, With thin, primeval crying,
 As though they had no dead. Do they see the final emptiness, The desolation and despair, When gulls soar over the river And the bridge is no longer there?
