MISDIRECTED SENTIMENTALITY

THE maudln sort of sympathy that is ready
l. to produce copious tears whenever a
hardened yegg snifHes and says that he is
sorry popped into public view in Detroit the
other day.
The local sheriff invited the mothers and
children of Detroit to come to the Jail and
listen to sermon by one of his prisoners.
This prisoner, re said had seen the error of
his ways and had repented and was read
ing the Bible daily he could give a very up
lifting little talk on the advsability of shun~
ming the ways of crime.
All of this might have been all right, if it
hadn't turned out that the repentant sinner
William Lee Ferris, a confessed panderer
and slayer, who is awaiting trial on charges
of having slain the nephew of Charles Evans
Hughes.
Somehow, the stunt didn't appeal to De-
troit. Women's clubs and public officials rose
in wrath, the sermon was Cancelled, and the
sheriff left town. And the Sherifs idea re-
mains as a sample of brainless sentimentality
at its worst.

PAY FOR ACCIDENTS

INSURANCE commissioners of America, con-
vening in Seattle, are told by Insurance
Superintendent R. L. Foster of Ontario that
every motorist in America should be required
to indemnify possible victims before being
granted drivers license
Every motorist, says the Canadian author
ity, should be absolutely financially respon-
sible to innocent victims of his negligence.
Traffic hazards are so great, he adds. that
some such step as this is necessary for pub
lie protection.
Ones first reaction to the idea is that it
would be swell thing for the insurance COM
panies. Nevertheless. it has much to recon-
mend it. The least the innocent bystander
has right to expect is that, if his car or his
person is injured through no fault of his own
the man who caused the accident will be able
to pay for it.

JUST A SCRAP OF PAPER

VOU can begin to understand the cynical
way in which the governments of the
world signed the kellogg anti-war treaty by
meditating on the Juror which arose when
Emperor Halle Selassie of Abyssinia asked the
United States to protest Italys projected vio-
lation of the treaty.
Here we have, seemingly, an open-and-
shut case. Having renowned war as an in
strument of national policy. Italy-for rea-
sons which Italians find good and sufficient
proposes to use war as such an instrument.
The United States is asked to remind Italy OF
that renunciation-and instantly there is
sensation in all the capitals Of Europe
1t is pretty clear that the governments
which signed this treaty never had the slight
est notion of abiding by its spirit. If they
had, would they be dismayed by the thought
that now, when it might be of some use, some
one is actually thinking of reminding them
of it.

table with representatives Of employers, under
the craftsmanship of a government labor rela-
tions expert, and try to develop this new pro-
cedure for arbitration.
The Toledo plan may not succeed. But it is
significant that in a city which has had such
recent experience with strikes, lockouts, riots,
tear gas and bayonets, the rank and file work
ers are not dismissing the plan in the cava-
lier manner of Mr.. Green. Instead. they are
striving earnestly to avoid, if possible, repe-
tition of the bitterness and economic waste
that go along with picket lines
And if the plan meets with a fair degree
Of success in Toledo. it probably will spread
to other industrial centers Mr.. Green and his
hierarchy to the contrary notwithstanding.
Briefly. the plan interposes three steps in
arbitration to be taken after the breaking off
OF negotiations between an employer and en-
ployes. community-impaneled committee Of
an equal number of employer and employee
representatives directs the arbitration If all
efforts Of settlement fail, of course, then the
open economic warfare starts.
With the Administration in Washington
attempting to work for better understanding
between capital and labor, with even reaction
airy business interests trying to modernize
their relations with workers. and with the or
gained dues-paying workers, themselves,
seeking 3 substitute for the picket line, it
comes with poor grace for the head of the A.
F. Of L. to denounce any proposal launched
under such favorable auspices.

provision is a part of the Social
Security Bill which has been

President, so no agencies have
been set up for it"

carries scarcely anything of def

the said Social Security Bill, now

PRIVATE CAPITAL FAILED;
PEOPLE MUST ACT
BY Another Rea der

BY Another Reader
The durable goods industry can
be brought to capacity production at
once if the government would step
into the breach left by private
capital.
Private capital would buy durable
goods if there was a possibility of
using these goods to create more
profit. Consumer demand deter
mines the extent of purchases of
new and additional durable goods
equipment for additional production.
The consumer market for con-
sumers' goods is too low to warrant
any extensive purchases of durable
goods by investment capital. Re-
covery depends entirely upon
greater demand for consumers goods;
such demand would then call for
additional durable goods 20 produce
these goods.
The durable goods now in exis-
tence are so heavily plastered with
liens, such as mortgages. bonds,
equipment trust certificates, etc,
that it drains consumer purchasing
power and lowers consumption to
such a degree through inf1exible
prices that recovery is seriously in
doubt
That obsolete debt structure has
no more validity than worthless
bank note. The earning capacity of
all capital is determined finally by
the consumers regardless of whether
the capital is a fixed income debt or
merely stock certificates. If capital
represented by debt does not have
its earnings decreased voluntarily
until the consumer increases his
buying power, then the law of supply
and demand forces liquidation of
debt. Capital goods industry de-
ponds on capital earnings adjust
ment downward.
Since capital has gone to the gov
eminent to borrow money to prop up
an invalid capital structure, the re-
adjustment Of capital values becomes

POPULACE GOING HAYWIRE;
GOOD TIMES ARE NEAR

BY Mrs. l.. NJ.
People are funny, One reads the
letters and other articles in our
papers. Seems as if people are never
happy unless they can grumble.
When President Roosevelt took
office, every one said, HE must
help us. He must pull us out of this
mess"
No one cared how he did it, but
he must. 1t was up to Roosevelt.
Well, he did. Then people began to
kick. They didn't like the NRA
They fused until it was held I'M
constitutional. Then zap, zap, they
go again. The AAA is wrong
everything is wrong. He ought not
plant trees or fix parks or do any
thing that he is doing to give people
work. Then along comes the old
folk who say the government ought
to send all us older people 5000
every month and We can tell them
what to do.
We will regulate prices as We see
fit, control liquor business and all
the business the country has. We
will do away with the IVA. Why
we won't even need Daddy Roose-
welt. He mav just as we'll go home.
Isn't it strange how people act
when they begin to see better times?
I wonder if our great eX-PreSident
Lincoln could not tell F. D. Roose-
welt to never mind" that is what
they did to him?
Seems as if the man who does
things must take the lashing. Any
how, 1 am for President Roosevelt.

RESPONSIBILITY

ID RESPONSIBILITY of political party for
N its candidates does not cease after they
are elected When an offceholder or group
of public officials misconduct themselves and
violate their solemn trust they should be sub
iected to severe party discipline.
Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker and those
surrounding him bear the Democratic label. 1t
is quite true that they are branded as "irreg-
ulars" Nevertheless. the voters will hold their
party responsible for their conduct until the
regular organization Enthusiastically disapproves
their acts.
The Times has shown in recent weeks a
shocking set of conditions in Judge Bakers
oourt-conditions which eliminated in a sour
rilous and anonymous pamphlet and in an &C
tusl physical assault. That pamphlet was dis
tributed from the Indiana Democratic Club.
What have the officers and directors of that
club said or done about the revelation that
their institution was headquarters for The
Dart?
Has the local or state Democratic organizs-
ton or a single outstanding Democratic leader
publicly repudisted the Baker GrosSart clique?
This newspaper has steadily supported the
progressive policies Of the national, state and
city administrations, all of which are Demo-
cratic. We still believe In those policies. but
the Democrats must be the first to set their
own house in order.
So long as the party and its leaders remain
silent on the Criminal Court situation the
voters will interpret that silence as approval of
Judge Baker and the methods Of those with
whom he has surrounded himself.

more difficult Instead of starting
relief measures, the government
should go into the production of all
kinds of commodities, to increase
consumption possibilities, without
which there can be no revival of the
durable goods industry.
If government production costs
less to the consumer, then private
capital is not useful to the public as
a mechanism of production. Pri-
vate capital today is not capable of
creating a market for its goods, to
such point as will relieve the gov
eminent of the relief problem. For
their own protection, the people,
through government. must act to do
for themselves what private capital
has proven itself incapable of.
