FARM LABOR AND WPA

During the summer and early fall
much complaint has been heard from
farmers in various sections of the country
because of the difficulty of obtaining labor
to harvest their crops. In many instances
this difficulty is charged to the Works
Progress Administration, which, it is said,
has absorbed large part of the normal
farm labor supply.
To cite only one example, AN AS
sociated Press dispatch states that plant
ers in northern Mississippi recently is
sued appeals for 5000 cotton pickers who
could not be obtained locally.
Workers who once get on theS WPA
payroll seem unwilling to accept private
employment on farms or elsewhere. As
one observer has expressed it, "they have
reached the attitude of mind in which they
believe the government will continue to
care for them somehow and they are salts
fed
The enormous expenditures of the
WPA, devoted to large extent to projects
of little permanent value, are not only
adding billions to the already unprecedent-
ed national debt, but are creating in many
American citizens that unhealthy attitude
of mind" which makes them unwilling to
remain permanently dependent upon the
government.
Commenting on this situation, the
Grand Rapids Press aptly said in a recent
editorial:
mo administration in Washington
can go on paying men who decline jobs
offered them in private industry. For

NEITHER GOOD NOR EVIL ENTIRELY

Citizens of this country should seek
to avoid taking extreme positions, based
upon ready belief of every charge and
counter-charge made in the realm of poll
teal exhortation. Likewise, in the field of
economics, let's not assume too readily that
everything big is wrong and that every
body rich is evil-intentioned
Saying this does not imply that the
giants that bestride our economic develop.
ment should not be curbed and controlled
or that the wealthy should not be made to
assume greater burdens in support of So
cial reforms. In fact, the revelations of
the past few years have abundantly dis
closed evidence of evil in high places and
present ample basis for widespread re-
forms, which even now have not been &C
complished.
1t has been noticeable, however, in
the past that business men, undoubtedly
reputable in their ways, have been re-
luctant to point out the evils of their more
culpable confreres. Rather, they have in
trenched themselves behind barrier of
abuse, directed against those who have at
tempted to improve conditions. In their
own integrity they have bitterly resented
any criticism of those in their field of
operations, thus linking their fate with
those condemned by public opinion.
1t is encouraging to see signs that this
tendency is being abandoned. For example,
Paul c. Cabot, president of large invest
ment corporation, recently discussed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission
the situation in the investment field ad-
hitting that lin this new and growing in
dustry there have crept in a variety of
abuses" against which the public sis en-
titled to such protection as the law can
give" He qualified his remarks by add
ing if it does not "unduly hamper the ex-
ercises of ability and supervision" How
ever, he made recommendations and warn
ed of possible injury that might follow
certain steps.
Along the same line Merryle Stanley
Rukeyser, Hearst writer, described in
Hearst newspapers as an internationally
famed economist and financial commenta-
tor" recently told about thousand Am
erican bankers, at their convention in San
Francisco, speaking as "a devoted ad-
herent of the American system and mot
seeking to construct castles in the air."
that our system is capable of bringing
vastly greater popular economic well-be-
ing than has ever before been attained any
where in the world He urged proper
cooperation between Government and
business to bring this about and deplored
restrictive legislation.

SPORT SLANTS

Manager Jimmy Dykes sort of tipped off his hand when he an- nounced that the White Sox had signed one Steve MeSner, now play ing with Los Angeles, for delivery in the spring of 1887. Mesner, a chunky third-sacker built along the lines. of durable Jimmy, is 20 years old and quite a sensation in the field and at the plate. It is very likely that Dykes is planning to use Mesner at third and retire to the shadow of the dugout.
 One can hardly blame Dykes Tor looking ahead to retirement. He has been around a long, long time. In November he will celebrate his fortieth birthday. Last winter he made several efforts to pick up a dependable third baseman but had no success. There was nothing left for him to do but start the present campaign - his eighteenth in the American League-at his old stand, the hot corner.
 Jimmy comes mighty close to being, if he is not actually, the dean of American League players. Off hand, no veteran comes to mind who can challenge his right to the honor. He broke in with the
