The New CAPITALISM

ignoring of its better features the RI Rev Mgr Fulton
Sheen of the Catholic University Of America gives Amer

Capitalism has its faults and plenty of them even the
most hidebound conservative will admit
But it has seldom been pointed out before that Communism
which the radicals offer panacea for all these ills
would in fact INTENSITY the flaws of Capitalism while de-
sroyng its merits.
"The old Capitalism" said Msgr. Sheen in a recent
broadcast under the auspices of the National Council
of Catholic Men, "n1ddc the economic the principal

"Con1rnunism makes it the UNIQUE basis.
"The old Capitalism wanted interference from the

Saving Public Money
BIZ James T. Williams, T.

Senator Byrd of Virginia, is the
sponsor of a novel legislative pro-
poSal. Instead of calling on the
Congress for another investigation
of ways and means to spend"
public money, the statesman from
the Old Dominion has submitted
resolution in the Senate Ito in
veStigate the saving Of public
money"
Many citizens appear to have
forgotten that not one single dol
lar can be spent unless first auth
orized by Congress- Senator
Byrd emphasizes this fact and
adds a sharp reminder that many
Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress voted for
the $4,880,0O0,000 Federal Relief
Bill.
He fails, however. to point out
that this is one of the reasons
why the Republicans will prob
bly,, because logically, prefer the
leadership of an able administra-
tor like Governor Landon, Of Fan
saS, when they come to nominate
the next President Of the United
States, as they hope and believe.
Governor Landon has balanced
his budget while the Congress IN
recent years, under the DONNA
ton of the Administration, has
been engaged in the widest Icy
of public spending this or any
other country has endured.
SENATOR BYRD'S PLAN
However, Senator Byrd'S reso
luton is none the less meritorious
and ought to be 2 iopted without
delay. 1t provides for a Senate
committee to present plan Of re-
organization of the Federal Gov,
eminent. This committee would
be composed of five Senators
three from the majority and two
from the minority party.
1t would be authorized to study
all the activities of the Depart
ments, bureaus, boards, commlS
sions, independent agencies of the
Executive branch of the Govern
ment. It's effort would be to fine
out where the activities of these
agencies conflict. where they
could be simplified and thell
number and cost reduced.
What Senator Byrd is really
trying to do is to begin to fulfill
nearly four years behind time the
solemn but seemingly forgotten
pledge upon which the Admins
tration of Mr.. Roosevelt was elect
ed in 1882. This pledge read as
follows:
IAN immediate and drastic
reduction of Governmental ex-
penditureS by abOlishing use
less commissions and offices,

of clothes but changing for din
ner to immaculate linen and full
evening dress.
His family life was secluded

absolute secrecy regarding the
daily life of the master and the
customs of the household.
TRIVIAL QUARREL
The curiosity of the neighborS
was piqued. In due time it was
to be satisfied. Kipling and an
other of his wife's brothers
Beatty Balestier, had a squabble
which resulted in the poet swear
ing out a warrant for the arrest
of his brother-in-law for using i'm
proper language and threatening
his life. The dispute arose out Of
the management of the place, ir
which Balestier had a hand. The
trial turned out to be a holiday
for the countryside.
Kipling had been amused by the
wonder he had caused by playing
golf in the snow. But it was some
thing else again to take the wit
ness stand and reveal for the
benefit of the yokels what he con
sidered to be sacred family affairs
The result was that he became
the most annoyed man in Amer
lea. Balestier was bound to the
peace and the Kiplings were soor
bound for other climeS.
If it had not been for that
trivial quarrel with a relative
Kipling, perhaps, would never
have left those green hills Of Yer

Administration now in power to
revive the public's recollection of

further than to repeat it in a

that "the condition of top-heavy
and overlapping boards and bu.

much worse now"-after nearly
four years of Mr., Roosevelt's
presidency.

THE COMPOST HEAP

We youngsters we're endlessly
curious about old Mr.. Cross COM
post heap. Lettering home from
school, trailing our sticks with a
delicious RATTLEDY- BANG along
the picket fences, we'd stop when
we came to the Cross backyard
and peer in. freckled stub Of a
nose to every crack.
There was the old man, putter
ing around his poor little place,
gathering together garden trash
all the other folks carted away,
piling it into mysterious heap
which he never burned.
"Wadaya S'poSe he's got hidden
under that big old pile of dust and
leaves? Money. maybe, huh? Or
bones! S'pose it's bones? Geewilli-
kins-S'posen it's bones!"
Strangers might rave over Mr..
Cross beautiful garden, blooming
so strangely beside his shabby
shanty. But we youngsters saw
in this only more evidence of
crime.
What did an old man like him
want with flowers? Just hiding
something, tha's what he was
pirate treasure or buried bodies
probably. Some day they c find
out!
Our young eyes widened with
delightful anticipation. Once, I
remember, we even planned a mid
night foray to dig for the corpse.
But our enthusiasm strangely
diminished as midnight ap-
proached-and no one ever did I'M
cover the mystery of the Cross
composer heap.
NO MYSTERY
Now I know that there was no
mystery at all - only an old
mans passionate love of and
service to beauty. Too poor to
buy even necessary food for him
self, he could never afford the
costly artificial fertilizers which
his rare plants required. So he
produced it in the natural way,
from what others considered
waste. Grass trimmings, withered
flowers and leaves. decaying
stems, bits of sod-under the mel
lowing alchemy of sun and rain
these became rich nourishment,
