A polite, perfunctory speech was ex-
pected from the royal orator. He
fooled his listeners. It SO happened
that he had just made an inspection
of the slum districts in several of Eng

Among other things, he said:
There are a great many slum dwell

places. And I have been appalled,.
New houses can be built within
reach of workingmen if big income Is
not what is looked for.
This nation cannot afford to per-
petuate such slums. What's the use
of treating the diseases Of slum dwell
ers, especially the children, If when
cured they are to be sent back to such
slums?
1T is a disgrace to our national
life!"
There was the usual applause ac-
corded u speech by member Of the
royal family. but it was distinctly
lacking in spontaneous cordiality.
Older members of the audience re-
membered having read that Wales, as
a boy, had told his grandfather he
wanted to be locomotive engineer.

SILVER POLISH

Senator Silver Key" Pittman'S recent swing
through the silver states was made as member Of
the migratory bird commission. This is not the on
" indication that the silver policy is the wing
again.
Equally significant was the action Of Mexico re-
storing silver coins to their pre1935 fineness. This
means the Mexican government has decided the
price Of silver will not again reach the high levels
of April. 1885, when her coins became too valuable
to keep and were thrown into melting pots for the
purpose Of recovering the silver from them. To
any inSider here. it is inConcGivabe that Mexico
acted without knowing what the American treasury
ly close to Mexico since its initial silver policy up
ly close to Mexico since its initial silver policy up
set Mexican money.
But why Mexico should undertake such a costly
step at this time is harder to explain. Two good
gueSseS can be made. The action may reflect pres
sure from the Pittman group Cthe senator still is
the silver policy to restore the social standing of
silver and save its monetary face Or it may be a
preliminary move toward expanding the monetary
market for silver in Latin America In connection
with the Forthcoming Pan-Amercan conference.

When the whole inside story Of the monetary ne
goiations comes out eventually, you will find other
evidences that the general popular suspicion Of an
other Anglo American understanding is not juSti-
fled MI MorgenthauS fancy rescue of the pound
from degradation and despair was appreciated in
London. but not in the way you SurmiSed The Brl-
tish would really have liked to have let the pound
slide to get a world trade advantage. Some say
they wanted to stabilize as low as S440 or $3.50. At
any rate. Mr.. Morgenthau and the British are far
from an agreeable figure.
Many inner signs have limited that we have q
gentemens agreement with Britain on naval mat
ters but it is just as technical and narrow the
monetary agreement.
The current trend seems to be toward further U.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The Japanese have been

YangtZe River valley where BritainS major inter-
ests in China are located The British are worried
They did not much care when the Japanese took
Manchuria in 1881. Their trade stood to gain by
abolition of Chinese rule and miSrule there. At
that time they could not get interested in Former
State Secretary Stimsons threats against Japanese
aggression.
Now that the problem has moved right up against
the British pocketbook the situation is different.
American neWSmen in London lately have been OBJ
tanning unofficial interviews at the foreign office
suggesting that Britain would like to use strong
pressure" on the Japanese in Shanghai and on up
the YangtZe.
The significance of these London dispatches was
not lost here. State Secretary Hull has found SINH
lar unofficial ways of letting it be known quietly
that this time he is not interested.
1t means that any prospect for Anglo-American-
Chinese Russian cooperation against Japan is lost.

Every American will be hearten-
ed by the United States Chamber
of Cor lmerce estimate that 7,OOO,-
600 men and women have been re-
employed since the depression low.
This tends to confirm the New
York Suns survey which indlCat-
ed that estimates Of 100000. to
100000 still unemployed are eX-
cessiye. Yet it will not dO TO as
sumo that recovery is complete
in Jobs. For at the same time fig
ures given out by Harry L. Hop
kins show that about 2.500,0OO
are still on the WPA and that
the decline in relief rolls starting
in March was checked in July
and that 100000 farmers in
drought areas have since been
added

levels it appears that the uncm-

solved. Make every allowance

of people who never had regular

rosy a picture of al industrial
boom as you like. It is still plain
that neither government nor bus
mess has an adequate answer to
the question of nemplOymcnt.
Employment is still the maiCr
question of American economic

The Democrats do not want to
spoil with drCary relief figures the
beautiful song of recovery which
! is their chief campaign tune. The
Republicans pass it over with 4
quick assumption that once New

the"full dinner pail will return
automatically. Nothing is said a
bout how long it will stay. But
the people ought to be asking both
parties, What have you to offer
to prevent another 1922"
1t is much easier to hand out
relief than to smooth out business
cycles. 1t is much simpler to
shout up a boom than TO find
steady jobs. And if we cannot
see that another boom is no de-
cent answer to the unemployment
question, VIC ought to see that it
is no permanent answer to the
budget question. EOth parties are
pledged to continue relief. MI
Roosevelt promises no new taxes.
MI Landon promises economies.
Yet no careful student of Ameri-
can government can see how
either promise can be fulfilled
without a business boom. Probably
recovery will continue for some
time. But what has been done
to avoid another crash? When

about jobs?
And what then of the American
system? Does anyone imagine that
the people will not CIy for expert

we do need to face the fact that
