A Liberal Viewpoint
-BY. DIR. HARRY ELMER: KARNEs-

nNE OF the major reasons why we have wars is
- tnat nations refuse to conform to the code Of
ethics which we have accepted as fundamental for
individual human beings for groups of men acting
IN non-political capacity The state assumes to be
above private morals This fact is we'll brought out
In Prof. George M. STATIONS international Delu-
sions." CHoughton-Miff1in, $2) As Prof Stratton
puts it:
OF these scales we weigh the conduct of men sing1y
or weigh the conduct of men in a group within the
nation acting, let us say, insurance company
bank or labor union. But for weighing the conduct
OF men acting a nation toward another nation
we use another scale"
Prof Stratton illustrates this well by contrasting
our attitude toward stealing, lying and killing when
carried on by individuals and by nations:
When man of honor wants land he buys it.
II he can not buy it he goes without it. He would
be ashamed to get it by deceit or violence He and
we would weigh his violence in mental scale which
would declare it plain theft or stealing. -.
"DUT when a nation wants land and has the
- power to take it, it may-f it does not care to
buy it, or exchange for it-simply take it, and hold
its head high. +.
"a nations deception may be viewed as diplom-
acy. Or if a nation promises TO disarm, and does
not dsar it does not feel itself disgraced it merely
says that else is at fault and it arms itself
more heavily than before. -.
"A civilized man does not Intentionally kill his
neighbours Much less does he publicly glory in
it and proclaim himself ready to do it to other
neighbors. His killing would be called murder, and
would, blacken his character for-life. manufac-
turing company a steamship line would be SUBJ
down men employed by rival
"a nation however, not only kills its neighbours
sons but builds monuments and appoints holidays
the glory of the killing may not be forgotten. A
nation is proud OF its power to kill and of its will
to kill its neighbours by thousands Nor does
it thereby lose its place of honor"

Jokes On the of the bank closing, he even
asked President-elect Roosevelt to join him in
statement that would inspire public confidence that
everything was all right. That's how much i'm
portance Mr.. Hoover attached to the need of MAIN
tanning public morale when he was President.
nut now that he is not President, it is different.
ID Speaking as ex-President, it is perfectly all
right to inStil fear and panicky feeling in the pub
lie mind. Much of Mr.. Hoover's Lincoln Day speech
at Portland, Ore, was devoted to suggesting such
state of national fear Stocks are booming, not be-
cause of confidence, but partly because of fear of
initiation. Unemployment continues in heavy
industries because of fear that the New Deal is 60
ing to wreck the currency. New Deal currency
and credit policies have driven men all over the
nation into scramble of buying equities to protect
themselves That is you and sl of your friends are
rushing into the stock market because you think
the country is about to collapse
Mr.. Hoover once complained that somebody was
PLAYING politics with human misery Now it looks
as if somebody is trying to play politics with re-
covery.
TN the same newspapers which carry Mr.. Hoover's
i hair-raising alarms the president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, Harper Sibley, says
the economic condition of the country is at the high
est level in five years. He says more shoes were
turned out last year than in any earlier year. Are
men and women being driven by fear of the New
Zeal into scramble of buying equities in shoes
to protect themselves? Mr.. Sbley says more wool
into manufacture in 1885 than any other peace
time year. This scramble to buy equities must have
even gone into red-fannel underwear.
Mr.. Sibley must be mistaken We can't be eco
nomcaly sound until We have 100000 unemployed
back in rags shivering with their shoes worn
through.
CECRETARY ICKES. who has pursued relative
- ly conservative policy in PWA projects finds that
voters have assessed themselves as local taxpayers
In 2l66 out of 26l3 elections for local contribution of
the greater part of the POUNDS required to the
benefits OF PWA offers In 447 elections voters dis
approved the projects which PWA subsequently
abandoned PWA officials says these local bond
elections. in which 100000 votes were cast show
the willingness of communities to shuck out their
own cash for PWA projects.
Mr.. Hoover must wonder sometimes about the
alleged power of she presidency to influence the
stock market.
Every time he while President, issued state
merit that prosperity was just around the corner
the stock market took another nose dive. Now ex-
President he passes out the tip that the best way to
beat initiation is to buy stocks and the market shoots
up to q new 1ye-year high.

picture is revealed that the tax
payers are concerned primarily
with the total national spending
policy and its reaction in future
Federal taxes.
Marion County, as the sixth
district in the WPA setup in In
diana, has relief dollar consist
ing of 70 cents for wages, 10 cents
for materials, and cents for SAL
aries and administrative costs.
TINE monthly county wage
Il average on WPA works prof.
ects for relief employees is $55 with
an $01 average for January for
non-relief employees.
Non-relief employees are placed
in the same category with relief
workers as to need, for it is said
by social workers and WPA off,
Gals that they are persons in
need of work to support those
dependant upon them.
The saving of money to county
taxpayers, through WPA works
project that made 5000 garments
and dresses for children of the in
digent on direct relief, is related.
Women are shown plying
needles as men WELD shovels in
earning regular twice-monthly
wage under WPA in the county as
well as in the state.

ers while other members of their
families are working III private
employment is cited by some.
Politics is disclosed to be play

his relief need are prime fequi-

or grocery order relief.

Still it is not to be denied that Justice Sutherland

which Huey put upon newspapers which opposed him

gal formula that might protect
the billion has been examined.
One formula which looked good
at first was to let the Federal tax
collectors face the suits. They
can be sued, whereas the govern
ment can not be sued without its
consent.
This idea actually got so far
that the amount for which the
tax collectors were bonded was
looked up. It was only $17,000,O00.
But then it was discovered that
the Federal government was bound
by law to be responsible for its
tax collectors.
So this particular idea was
abandoned. The Administration is
still looking for another.

Flight Through Space

MIR. CALICO recently took course of instruc-
4v1 ton in an indoor school slide covered with
EPSON salts and when he arrived in Garmisch he
elected the highest Alp in the neighborhood and
slipped down hill. He dashed through the air with
the greatest of ease and landed in river in the
valley and if there had been timers present he un-
doubtedy would have established world record.
Mr.. Gallicos daring jump has been the subject Of
much admiring comment by the hardy Norsemen,
but our hero has confessed that he did not mean
to come down the mountain In fact, Mr.. Calico
fell off the Alp and is of the few men who have
done this and survived.
He was standing at the top terrified by the view,
when his skis slipped and he dashed away. Skis are
not equipped with brakes, and being unable to arrest
his descent. he spread his wings and took off into
space.
Like the humble South Bend (Ind) street car
motorman who tapped a drunken passenger over
the head with his control handle and knocked him
cold, to discover that he had knocked out John l..
