sensitive to human values dares to
accept it. That is why we are not
content, merely, to restore what is
sometimes called prosperity. We
propose to attack the problem from
every conceivable angle.
We readily admit that a greater
purchasing power, far more widely
distributed, will mean the con-
sumption of more goods-indus-
trial products and farm products.
The production of these goods will
mean more employment. Most
business men believe with us in a
greater purchasing power on the
part Of more people; they know
that their businesses will be helped
thereby.
To work in unity toward this
end constitutes one form of attack
and there are others which we
must not overlook.
Our working population increases
every year, both because of popula-
ton increase and because more and
more women are working for wages.
That is as it should be. But when
We face your problems these in

whether it is not possible and right

Qualities Youth Are Needed to Advance
C0udiio

In q certain manufacturing in
dustry the average hours Of weekly
work were greatly curtailed under
the operation Of the national indus
trial recovery act, and curtailed, in
cidentally, with the complete support
of the great majority Of employers
within the industry. When this
act came to an end the average
hours of work were 1854 per week.
Since that time the great majority
of employers in this particular in
dustry continued the old N. r. A.
scale of hours. But gradually, first
a few and then larger number Of
employers began lengthening the
work week. The result today Is
that the average Of employment in
this industry Is 1919 hours per week.
Not a serious difference, you say.
And yet if you figure it out on the
assumption that there we're 166, 500
men and women in the industry,
10 per cent, or 1850 people. have
either lost their jobs or, by working
longer hours, are preventing 1850
other people from getting employ
ment. Actually the records show
that 1,400 people lost their jobs
and 1920 other people were kept
from getting work.
It seems reasonable, therefore,
that industry can contribute in
great measure to the increase Of
employment if industry as whole
will undertake reasonable reduc-
tions of hours of work per week,
while at the same time they keep
the average individuals pay en-
velope as large as it is today.
Length of Work Week
Essentially Government Problem.
Because the practices of employ
ment definitely affect the problem
of unemployment. the Government
must give and will give considera-
ton to such subjects as the length
of the working week. the stability
of employment on an annual basis,
and the payment of at least ade-
quate minimum wages. A govern
ment doing this is government
that Is working actively at the an
swers to your problem.
We do not yet know enough in
a changing economic order to
guarantee any nation permanently
against times of depression. We
believe, however, that steps, like
these, which We have taken and are
taking will at least greatly cushion
depressions-will prevent the up
curve from rushing to violent,
mad peak of false prosperity and
prevent another violent. mad de-
scent into another sink of suffering
and disillusionment like the one
from which for the last three and
a half years we have been surely
emerging.
And there is another ASPECT to
the answer which you have a right
to expect from us. What do we
propose to do about the casualties
of depression? Since 1929 those
casualties, in America, have run
into the millions. They are a
charge upon us as a people
have recognized that fact. And,

nNE of the most interesting puzzles of the Amer
~ lean Revolution is the case of that eminent
British soldier, Sir William Howe
Howe came over in 1776 to crush the revolt lead
ing one of the largest armies Britain had ever sent
overseas and aided by huge feet commanded by his
brother, Lord Richard Howe. He failed miserably
and went home in i778 discredited
What happened? Was he simply fearful incom-
petent? Did he, as some historians charge actually
refuse to try to win, because of sympathy for the
Americans? Did he dull his wits by drinking and
carousing?
T>ROYER S. ANDERSON examines the evidence
Il in The Command of the Howe Brothers" OK
ford Press; $780, and concludes that none of these
charges will hold water.
Howe, he says, was conscientious able general
by the standards of his day. The only trouble was
that he had ar almost impossible task to perform
He had to whip Washington's army, occupy the
rebellious districts, re-estabsh the royal govern
ment. and do it all with enough gentleness and tact
to leave the beaten coloaiists willing to come back
again into the fold.
No genius, Howe failed but Mr. Anderson finds
no reason to believe that any of the other British
generals then available would have done any better.

from a recent rubber match. He
had to employ two end-plays to
make his contract.
The opening lead of the king of
spades, of course, marked West
with the queen. The trick was
won in dummy with the ace and
small heart played. This was won
with the ace.
A heart was returned and West
showed out, discarding a spade.
Declarer went up with the king in
dummy and, rather than start one
of the minor suits himself, he led
the jack of spades and threw West
into the lead.
Now. it was immaterial which
suit West led; it was going to cost
him a trick. He chose to play a
small club. Dummy's nine was
played and when East went up
with the queen, declarer won with
the ace. South then fnessed the
ten of clubs and cashed the king
of clubs.
With the club suit cleared, de-
clarer made his second end-play
with a heart, throwing East into
the lead.
East was forced to return a dia-
mond and declarer played the king.
West won with the ace, and de-
clarer had fineSsing position in
diamonds which, Of course, held
and the contract was made.

luton in buying habits. The peo-
pie are discovering that they can
run business for themselves, can
govern and control it democratic
ally. And, what is more to the
point, that they can save the
profits for themselves.
TN doing all these things, the
\ co-ops are forcing certain
changes upon American business.
The coop idea is taking hold.
1t may mean that the people
through their cooperative Or
CARNATIONS are going to capture
the major part of the retail bust
ness of the nation. Or it may
mean that they are going to
force American business to re-
form along cooperative lines.
In any event, the co-ops have
come to work deep and far-reach-
ing changes. One can not evade
figures. And the figures of CO.
op gains are being written up for
all to see.

into the filling station business,
selling their own gas and oil and
paying back profits as dividends
to consumers.

op members, They own their tank
cars on the railroads, their fleets
of tank trucks on the roads. Yes,
the co-ops have very definitely
come to America.
The idea of consumer co-opera-
ton was born in Rochdale, Eng
land, more than 80 years ago. At
that time % poor weaverS, weary
of listening to political promises,
desperate over their own poverty
and misery, decided to do. some
thing about it themselves rather
than wait for the state to act.
They saved their money for a
year. At the end of that time
they had $40. They put this into
a stock of those commodities
which all must buy. They rented
a store, and the idea of consumer
cooperation was born.
THESE weavers laid down Ger
i tain revolutionary rules. They
threw overheard the old stock vot-
ing system in favor of more demo-
cratic rule. No matter how many
shares of stock a member might
own, he could have but one vote.
The second rule was just as
startling. Capital was to have no
share in the profits. Capital, like
labor, was put on a fixed wage.
Shares should always sell az par
and draw the legal rate of inter-
est.
What to do with profits caused
a third rule to be drawn up. 1t is
this rule, more than anything else,
that has been responsible for the
phenomenal growth of consumer
cooperation during the last few
years.
They decided that the man who
spent his money over the counter
made the profit possible. There
fore, all profits must be given
back to the consumer members in
ratio to their purchases for the
year. They called this a patronage
dividend.
In other words, profits vanished.
What looked like profits were but
the unexpended portions of the
consumers dollar and must go
back to him.

But this latest coop activity is

more and more things co-opera-

Millions of them are beginning

about a new economic order which
they are building themselves.

Coop tires are grinding

cars are coop batteries.
The tanks are full of coop
gas and the crank cases
with coop oil.
A few figures will show the
magnitude of this rapidly grow

co-operatives as whole, it is
figured that there are now about
5000 in the country, with a men,
bership of 100000. Last year
they did a total business esti-
mated at 1865 100000.
Among these are about 1000 CO.

with more than 100000 members.
1t is estimated that these groups
are turning back in patronage
