Sound Planning.
Cincinnati Enq'lirer)


 The conservation of natural resources is pre- eminently opportunity for public planning in America. As MT Harold L. Ickes Secretary of the h. eror very aptly observed in address at Washington Sunday night it is little dangerous to speak behalf of the idea of planning because it part of the American tradition. But must come to it. and eventually we shall with respect to natural resources at any rate
 We must revere forefathers, and they never planned MT Ickes remarked with good deal of acid in his phrases When they had devastated forest they merely moved to another. When they had exhausted the fertility of farm in section there was always another farm little farther to be had for the taking. As say, they never planned, they merely exploited Ergo should not plan"
 There is much to think about in MT. Ickes stingng indictment of the prejudice against planning. The word often conures up impressions of a regirnented society in which men do not produce the goods they hope to sell at a profit but the goods bureaucratic government decides in solemn conference the people ought to have next season. To be sure that is public planning also It is sort want of It is sort that does not work unless government so strong and so tyrannca that it can make people pretend to like things they do not like Surely social order provides few Satisfactions for mankind
 The stupidity of this sort of planned industrial pro- auction, however should not be allowed to create a prejudice against the common planning of land use and reforestation The present movement for servaton for planning the utilization of natural re- sources began under that thorough going indivduast theodore Roosevelt, and it from his effort that MT. Ickes caught the idea
 Ours will be poverty stricken country in another two generations if we continue to exploit the soil and the forests with the pioneers recklessness that our forefathers had. However profoundly we regard ther work which made the development of this coun- uy posslple, we are obliged to recognize that their prodiga use of the land is permissible for us What was perfectly natural for them and served to build up the country likely to be national suicide for us and for the generations to come if we follow their example slavshy.

U. S. CHAMBER CONSISTENCY.

The consistency of the United States Chamber of Commerce at times is something to be marveed at by the gods. It has not been many days that political crying to the housetops that everything going to pot under the New Deal President Roose- welt was pictured by the Chambers publicity as the Stalin of the western world, or something equally remarkable. Communism was running rampant under the present Administration and there wasn't any thing much left to do except elect a good old actionary and get back to what was pictured as the sound days before Roosevelt
 At the weekend the United States Chamber of Commerce issued of its business reports given out from time to time. This ant-New Deal organiza- tion reports excellent basis has been laid for con- tinued business recovery To quote: The level Of business activity continues to rise. So far in 1886 there has been no recession"
 Being commercial and not political group it is generally assumed the Chamber is now speaking with
 degree of authority It position to keep tabs on business conditions, and to its credit it must be said it admitted the truth matter how much it must have hurt of the boys with leanings toward the Liberty League policy of special interest privileges
 But one only marvel how a commercial organi- zaton which admits the cash registers are rnging-a sound lost to most of during those balmy days of Hoover-ean wall about liberal reuvenating policy of government which is taking its business out of the rut and back onto normal basis. It reminds one of the man who killed the goose that laid the golden egg But then maybe that is the short-sighted policy of the United States Chamber of Commerce? We admit failure in attempting to follow such remarkable consistency

Labor Approaches Civil War.
CNew York Herald Tribune)


 When John L. Lewis resigned vce-presdent Of the American Federation of Labor to head the Com mittee for Industrial Unonism it inevitable that sooner or later there must come showdown between his faction and that which rules the Federation Apparently, with the formal order of the Fedora tons executive council that the Lewis committee be dissolved, the showdown is at hand and also test of principles not unlikely to rend the labor movement in this country with civil
 MT Lewis one magines is not the kind of rebel to bow meeky to the councils action. He has already indicated that he considers it with contempt and noth ing in his record or former announcements would lead to suppose that he would not rather split completely with the Federation than abandon his cause Some compromise to be sure is still possible but the situation bears omnibus resemblance to that which proceeded the firing on Fort Sumter.
 It is hardly necessary to explain that the movement which MT Lewis heads and in which he is associated with other union presidents has for it's object organize industrial territory the basis of industries rather than crafts. It represents old struggle within the A. F of l. but which received fresh impetus from the enactment of Section "A ot Mira and has since found additional encourage ment in the provisions of the Wagner Act MT William Green who bitterly opposes it's present manifestation as "a challenge to the supremacy of the American Fed eraton of Labor, must remember rather ruefuly how ardently he championed those measures
 Section TIA which insists on the rig. of all work CTS to bargain collectively through representatives Of their choosing MT Green called the Magma Charta Of American labor In sense which he failed to fore see it became the Magma Charta of workers who pre- Ferred industrial to craft organization; it affirmed their right to representatives of their own choosing quite as much against the craft unions who would divide them up, against the employer And now we have its re-enactment in the Wagner act, whose regulations for its enforcement by majority vote favor the industrial the craft union In fact, to quote from recent article the subject in this newspaper written by Professor Herbert May hard Diamond of Lehigh University, 'one might go so far as to surnlise that the Wagner act, for which the Federation fought valiantiy, may take craft unions off Main Street into quiet alleys to dream their past glories"
 The Wagner act has still to pass the scrutiny of the Supreme Court Meanwhile in their battle with Lewis the members of the Federations council might do worse than to pray that it be declared unconstu tional

Our Unsupervised Ships.
(New York World Telegram)


 Rarely IS the pathetic heplessness of the present United States facilities for enforcing safety of the lives or 338OOO000 passengers yearly sailing on American vessels so damnngly etched in the speech of How ara S Cullnan, vice chairman of the Presidents Nauonal Committee for Safety at Sea- here yesterday He pictured the Bureau of Navigation and Steam boat Inspection the governments sole sea safety nstr- mentaly as bereft of real authority enforce such safety laws as Congress indifferent to sea safety legislation might enact
 Neither this bureau nor any other government agency has the power by law to approve disapprove of plans or methods of ship construction for American flag veSses--a startling fact.
 A snip may blow up at under government cer- tflcate but no underwater would have insured that ship on the strength of the Steamboat Inspections findings.
 rms bureau, expected to look after 25,00O docu- mented ships and more than 50O00O small pleasure craft Is sadly lacking in the technical experts required There are too few inspectors few clerks too many political tools.
 MT Cuiman obviously pictures a dsgracefu and hlgnly dangerous condition in a great governments sham pretense at safeguarding the lives people trusted to the nations ships
 He rightly declares that better safety laws if passed cannot be enforced until this bureau strengthened and given real authority

"A kHluy, dllTulSuc thought IS expressed by the following editorial recently printed the New World telegram:
 We used to hear a saecharine ballad. Hello Central, Give Me Heaven Times change and today, according to tale from Trenton N. J., it should be sung Hello Long Distance Give Me Jean Harlow
 A l4-year-old boy who tends neighbors furnace in Trenton found himself alone in his employers home and was unable to resist the telephone He put in call for Hollywood had his favorite actress paged and was about to near the angelic voice when the householder got onto it. Already he bill amounted to S2o.50 and the lad was stuck for it.
 The boys name in case Miss Harlow didn't know It in advance, is Joe Duggan. wouldn't it be nice if her publicity man should take care of that bill which is a lot of money to Joe? Alter all, the young admrer put her on the 1ront page of half the newspapers. in America, not to mention the editorial page. The theolo- gians teach that it doesn't take S20oO for boy to get in touch with heaven. Come on, Holly wood!
