French Devaluation

Frances final surrender to devaluation of the franc, roughly agreeing with previ- ous British and American devaluation, seems to clear the international business air and pave the way for more rapid bus mess recovery. France was being penalized by her own rigid adherence to her gold standard, which meant drastic deflation for her people and ruin for debtors.
 The basic trouble leading to such CO., operation among the big three money powers seems to be simply this, that there is no longer enough gold in the world to carry the worlds business on modern scale if the old money standards are adhered to. So the pounds, francs, dollars, and so on, are 'cut" to make more units of the basic money, and thus more currency and credit. This is a frank inflationary measure, having about the same effect on general business and the payment of obligations that core spending increase in the actual amount of gold would have.
 Such action can only be safe and lasting when the big economic powers agree on common denominator of value. AS soon as this delicate adjustment is worked out, the gold standard apparently is to be restored With a definite inter- national standard of value again, there should soon be more financial stability generally, and more political stability, with more rapid revival of international trade,

Many in these parts are feeling no little joy in the predictions of the return of the chestnut. It's quite some years now since the old chestnut grove was favorite spot of Autumn mixers or drivers. For some time the withered branches and tree StumpS remained as reminders of the days when, but even dead remains of the trees have not been visible for some time. Now they say there are signs of chest nut revival right here in Connecticut. In some localities there have been reports of fresh green shoots sprouting from dead chestnut stumps. The New Haven Jour- nal-Courier comments: Many modern youhgster, monstrous as it is to contem- plate his deprivation, never saw chest nut in it's natural state. They have not gone hunting in the autumnal woods, be- fore the winter clamps down hard. They have not pierced their fingers with the hair-thin needles of the chestnut burr, nor scattered them all green on the attic floor to dry open and reveal their inner riches" Now true this is and what a lot of flooey must the old-time riddle seem to them. . "I went into the woods and got it. . the more looked at it the less liked it and took it home with me be- cause couldn't help it. .'' The an Swer being chestnut burr.

Child Gardeners

Crops were harvested in New York's lower east side the other day when 100 children finished the years gardening activities. In half-acre area at one end of a small city park, these youngsters had raised corn, carrots, beets, Swiss char and marigolds.
 They planted their seeds on the first day of June. Each child had sixteen square feet of ground. During the sum- mer they weeded and watered. Finally came the day of inspection when prizes were given to those who had taken the most pains with their farming. Then the crops were harvested, and 54 boys and 46 girls, between and 12 years old, took home basket full of vegetables apiece.
 Those crops won't go far toward feeding family during the winter, but what they mean to the youthful gardeners can hardly be measured. Parks should be certain areas maintained thus for beauty. But it is wise community that finds some spot, even in a park, where chil- dren can dig and plant and cultivate and harvest for the health of their souls as we'll as their bodies.

War Stripped of Glamour

A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since the day when Jeb Stuart rode off to battle with plume in his hat, a banjo-player at his side, and a scarlet lined cloak floating from his, broad shoulders. Since then, war has had the glamour rubbed off; it has lost that ir- definable combination of heroic attitudes and visible, conscious heroism which went by the name of romance; it has grown, to use the old expression, as ugly as home made sin. And the proof of this lies in public reaction to the war news from Spain.
 What we are getting from Spain seems to be glimpse at mankind gone raven ing mad. We read of conquering troops herding prisoners into bull ring and spraying the place with machine gun bullets until the prisoners were all dead; of priests crucified to church walls; of prisoners executed in cold blood to pre- went their release by approaching armies; of cities going up in flame from the lust of destruction; of wholesale atrocities - committed, apparently, with fine impar- tiality, by both sides enough to make the heart sick.
 This sort of thing is not romantic, according to any Swords-and-roS stand ards which may have been bred into us by our reading of romantic war novels. There is in it none of the breath-taking pageantry of the charge of the Light Bri- gade; none of the color and thrill of Cambronne'S defiance at Waterloo; none Of the fine dash and flair of Jeb Stuart cavalry raid It is war reduced to its primitive essentials men at one afother's throats in fury so hot that it must spend itself even on the bodies of helpless prisoners and noncombatantS.
 And we shall acquire little valuable wisdom if we realize that this sort of thing, after all, "comeS with the bicycle" This Spanish war may be a more vengeful and bitter affair than some wars, but the eSSen- tials are always the same. Underneath, war always was like this. Its gaudy trap pings were always sham, good to fool the public but otherwise quite unreal.
 For example,: those slim British cruisers that patrolled the seas in the last war had romantic look to them as they went about their lonely business on the tossing waters. But how romantic do you suppose they looked to German mothers who saw their children dying, or growing up stunted and deformed, for lack of the foodStuffS which those cruisers were keep ing out of the country? Or to go over to the other side of the picture = how much romance did the Silver-Winged German planes have for British mothers who saw their children blown to bits by aerial bombs?
 TO realize all this, to understand that the unSpeakable horror of the Spanish war is simply the horror of all war mag nified just a little, is to fortify ourselves against tragedy For when the danger of war is in1miuert we are apt to be dFummed into line by our emotions We

The constitutiohal guaranty of free speech, and the right of fran c.lise is materially impaired when the citizen is deprived of an op- porturity to eat, to be clothed, and to be sheltered. One of the goals of Social Justice is 8 decent home for every American, and that in- cludeS our friends the communists. We are not laboring for one class of people, but for the general welfare of all Americans.
 No man is free unless he has food and clothing and a home that fortifies him in security and enables him to speak and to worship and to vote unshackled by poverty, hunger, and fear.
 In regards to Wm. Lemke's stand on an annual wage, be advised that the United Mine Workers of Amer ica, and the American Federation of Labor, two of the largest labor or ganizations in the United States have endorsed Wm. Lemke as 100 per cent for labor. Wn1. Len1kes record in Congress is one of action, not of words.
 Father Coughlin has always ad- vocated a living annual wage and he has always advocated that it is the responsibility of the govern ment to help labor organize and to secure an annual wage by proper legislation if necessary.
 To abolish profit and property as some suggest, and substitute by force another state, where every one own all, and none own any, is nc solution for this problem. The solu- tion will never be found in the furls of the Red Flag of Communism. A living wage promoted publicly will create a correct public con- science which will crystal:ze in a rising demand to be imbedded in law and to be supported hy a sym pathetic government for 8 more equitable division of profit.
 With a rebirth of personal ethical standards of justice, individual in- itiative can do much, industrial CO., operation, moved by a correct public conscience, can do much more; and governing power, likewise enlighten- ed and that is why the National Union is StreSsing on the election of Congressmen so they can super wise mildly the desired change. This is Social Justice-the project of the National Union-we want to accom- plish these things patiently, peace fully and permanently.
 l A living wage is the plea of Fr Coughlin in advance of enforced social reform.
 If we cannot secure these rights peacefully through the medium of the ballot, then, it is our right un- der the Constitution to petition for new government, and new guards. The hope of America is in pro- gress and in liberalism. Fate has given us matchless, progressive leaders. They have dared to espouse the cause of the Forgotten Man. Reaction, privilege, and greed are arrayed against them in the ap- preaching campaign, the most im- portant economic struggle that has ever faced America.
