ger of getting everything invented about the middle of the last century. The steam engine was growing efficient then, and they had the steamship and locomotive = but what else of worldwide importanceY Since that time have come the telegraph, telephone, dynamo, electric light, auto mobiles, wireless, radio, moving pictures, and many other inventions less obvious, but possibly of no less significance.
 And invention, far from dwindling, con- tinually expands. One invention leads not only to another, but to dozen others. This comment applies to physical inven- tions and appliances, in the realm ot nat ural sciences. When it comes to the hu- man or social sciences, we are incredibly backward. With all our interest in gov ernment we do well if we invent one new, improved governmental device in a decade. In our economic life we are always exper- imenting, but always blundering, in the effort to make social progress match scientific progress.

Building Revives

Building at last is under way again. The latest business survey of the National Industrial Conference Board says: "The brightest spot in the industrial situation is the building industry. Both total and. residential construction advanced from April to May. While total construction was 5.7 per cent lower than a year ago, this decline was due entirely to the reduc- tion in publicly-financed work during the past year. Privately financed contracts advanced over those for a year ago and are now higher than at any time since 1881. The advance in residential con- struction has been particularly impress sive; awards for this class of building were sos per cent above those for a year ago."
 Families, long crowded together, are undoubling now. People are building new homes to replace those worn out and burned down, and to accommodate the in- creased population. Also as "hedge against inflation". Those who need homes and have funds or credit realize that building is cheaper today, in dollars, than it may be for many years to come. So building construction joins automobiles, refrigerators, streamlined trains, weather conditions and other recovery-boosters already at work.

Faithful Sea Monster


 The Scotch are persistent people. They don't discard good thing before it's use- fulness is over. At least, this seems to be true of the Loch Ness sea monster which not only stuck around longer than most sea monsters last summer but has reappeared early in the present season. Most sea serpents are seen once or twice by few persons and then mysteriously disappear, or are washed ashore and found to be big fish or queer-shaped drift wood, or something equally harmless.
 The Loch Ness monster is fabulous creature of different sort. It continued all last summer to swim about nonchal- antly in the Loch, apparently careless of observation = unless observers came too close, when it dived. It proved a great attraction to tourists motivated only by curiosity and to scientists eager to identi- fy and classify 1t. Observers of the former type are already on the scene in consider able numbers. During it's very first ap- pearance, the other day, the monster was seen by no fewer than 16 tourists. It cruised about in unhurried dignity for 20 minutes, then disappeared.
 Can anyone doubt that the Loch Ness monster has returned for the whole sea- son? Whether or not he is in the pay of any of the local hotels, it is certain no ser ious steps will be taken to get rid of him. And he's likely to make 1t harder for other monsters, sea serpents and odd fish gen. erally to hold their own with the public

Third Party Bugaboo

The talk of third party in the coming election resolves itself, when sifted down to it's origin and proportions, into about the same talk that is heard about this time every election year. To designate the faint rumblings as anything other than the complaints of dissatisfied and disgruntled democrats and republicans alike would be to lend such movement dignity it neither deserves nor merits.
 In the first place the Waterbury Demo- crat feels confident that the rank and file of people, democrats in any event, are perfectly satisfied with Mayor Frank Hayes administration. Each of his suc- ceeding elections in the past, even, If we were not aware of the fact, have been ample proof in themselves. We have the same confidence that this years result will be no different as far as the great majority is concerned.
 Finally citizens, who have been button holed by those that label themselves third party or any party other than democrat, as that appears to be the only harmonious organization ir the city, should beware ot Greeks bearing gifts. Mayor Hayes has done all that is humanly possible to de- crease the burden of taxes and look after the welfare of the city during these times. Anyone that tells you that someone else will do more is talking through his hat or purp,Iely deceiving people for uterior motives.

 The nuisance taxes bear most heavily on the gas and motor industries and on 3-cent postal users. They coit these groups more than s5o0,0co,00o annually.
 Roosevelt is not worried about this - provided his &i,OO0, ,000,- 1000 tax program Is enacted.
 So to lessen resistance, he held out the bait of only one year of nuisance taxes. Thus, if by next Juno 30 the presidents heavy tax plan has become law, the nuisance taxes will be allowed to lapse. Otherwise, they will be re-

Selected Poem
MIDI

(L J. Gilbert in The Christian cience Monitor) DO you sometimes remember. Celeste? An autumn in the south of France; Bicycles gliding over pale white roads; Olive trees with groping twisted branches And silver-green tapering leaves, Trees that perhaps saw Caesars marching legions; Long aisles of poplars. And at the end a red-roofed farmhouse; In the fields, bowed. black clad peasants Working their late corps; On market day in teh towns hustle of blue smochs And ,oluminous woolen skirts And dark banded hats of sun-Aurnt straw or snow-white geese and gentle laden donkeys; Vineyard drip their purple fruit; The air is filled with yellow drifting leaves And heavy with rich and odorous haze; Tn the distance the mauye coud-banks That are the Pyrcnees Float above the misted foot-hills And on and on. beneath proud and langud sky, Winds the pale. white road-- Do you too. remember?

In California he stayed at the Beverly Hill home of George Richards of station WJR, Detroit, and at the ranch of William Ran dolph Hearst.'
 Hearst, America's labor enemy i No. 1. the very man whom Profess sor Beard said, "You couldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole" What is the answer here, Mir. Ayotte? 6. We shall quote Father Coughlin's radio sermon of March 25, 1884, in part: Had the manu- facturers been in the least inteili- gent, they would have helped to organize a friendly and efficient union years ago, instead of fighting against the laws of God and the natural laws of man."
 Does this mean that Father Coughlin wants company unions ? Do you think so, Mir. Ayotte?
 T. With the Detroit strike in Ford's factory on March 26, i934, going on under his nose, Father Coughiin did not whisper . single word of encouragement to the workers. Why Mir. Ayotte? z.

INDIVIDUALS AND GOVERN MENTs UNDER CONTROL
 OF PRIVATE BANKERS

Waterbury, Conn. June 27th, 1885. Editor, the Democrat:
 From far away Australia come: compilation of economic views not unlike the views of an increas- ing number of individuals in this land Of the free and the brave MT. R. Johnston of Sydney, Aus tralia successfully competed in a 500 word prize competition con. ducted by the New Era, a publica- ton in Sydney. MT Johnston's article Is a version of the Major c. H. Douglas Proposals and is as follows:
 The World is Wealthier to-day than ever before; but, side by side with mans unparalleled ability to provide goods and services, exists unparalleled depression.
 |. The producers want to produce but cannot sell. Consumers want to consume, but cannot buy MONEY Is the mechanism used to transfer goods from producer to consumer. Obviously, then, the only barrier is a lack of money in the hands of the consumers. There fore, a new method of making in- creased productivity available for the enrichment of life is necessary,
 The genius of Major c. H. Doug las has disclosed that, under our system of financial accountancy, no industry can possibly disburse sufficient purchasing. power to en- able all goods produced to be sold profitably. Wage-saving machin- cry adds to the problem.
 Money was at one time created by governments but with the in- vention of the check syytem this power of making money passed from the Crown to the bankers.
 Of the total money in existence only a small percentage consists of coins and banknotes. Most of 1t is bank credit Governments make money out of silver, copper, and paper. Banks create 1t out Of noth- ing. Hawtray, in his Art of Gen. trai Banking, says: "Bgt other lenders have not this mystical power of the. means of payment out of nothing. What they lend must be that they have acquired through their economic activities"
 Banks by controlling the volume and flow of credit, control the lives and destinies of men, and dl. rect the policy of governments.
 When a bank advances this cred- it is is against tho security of the borrowers, so ln ell justice the total credit Of the community ard the control ef its Issue and recall must

 Only mistake of the holding companies was that they sang this song to George Foster Pea body, lifelong friend of the president, and a New York prop erty owner who would rather lose money than see his friend receive . political setback.
 Real Reason
 The official explanation for limiting extension of tho "nuis- ance taxes" to one year, that im- proved business conditions would make them unnecessary was not the real reason for this sudden step.
 The tax bill passed by tic House continued these taxes for another two year period.
 But between the date of House approval and the time the bill came before the senate finance committee, the president sudden ly decided that the time was

be placed under national super vision.
 This would involve the opening of a National Credit Account to which would be credited the mon. ey value of the total capital assets of Australia, and the commercial izod value of the population and financial credit, being reflection of real credit, could be created up to this amount.
 The Douglas Proposals involve that this National Credit shall be used to finance consumption, as well as production.
 In order to equate consumption with production, consumer credits shall be issued. This may be done in two ways. (a) Using the Ma tional Credit to effect a reduction in prices of goods by declaring . National Discount Rate, thereby inciNasing the purchasing power of money. Vendors registering un- der price assistance or rebate scheme would agree to sell their goods at fixed margins of profit, thus preventing price imitation. (b) By declaring national divi- dend and issuing money direct to individuals.
 All government services shall be financed, debt free, from the Na- tional Credit, which means no more debts, no more interest, and a rap i'd elimination of indebtedness and taxation, thereby creating abound ing prosperity.
 The real business of life is to live and move in that world where truth, beauty, and justice call us through art and science. The Douglas Proposals, by creating in- dividual economic security, would, and will, make this ideal abundant ly possible.
 The foregoing tends to prove that the people from Down Under must be doing a lot of thinking about this privately controlled Banking Racket.

Italian Poker Game

That Italian Ethiopian situation con- tinues strangely interesting, although our own country has no immediate, practical concern in it. Mussolini did the unex- pected when he finally agreed to arbitra- tion of his boundary dispute, with Ethi- opia represented by Frenchman and an American. Britain and France apparently forced him to yield, and the stock of the League of Nations, through whose council they acted, went up few points. But the Duce continues pouring troops into Somaliland, to be ready for campaign against the black kingdom next fall when it stops raining - if he considers war necessary by that time. And the Ethio- plans keep right on preparing to defend their country from invasion.
 Meanwhile Mussolini makes it plain that he still has plenty of military power, with million men under arms at home, to take care of the European situation if his Fascist rival, Hitler, starts anything. American observers naturally wonder if this isn't really big poker game. Ethio- pia, difficult land to fight in, and filled with brave soldiers, might be Mussolini's Waterloo. He may be engaged in a huge bluff. Suppose he is playing for fine slice of Abyssinian territory with oil in t.-- to be ceded to Italy as the price of peace and independence.

It is interesting to note that 10000 members and their families will attend the convention, which is to last three days, ending Sunday with memorial services in memory of the late General Clarence R. Edwards, division leader overseas. Thrilling are the tales they tell of>the exploits of the Yankee Di- vision And we'll they might be, for it participated in the hottest and bloodiest of the conflicts.
