GEORGE wAsHINcroN,s GREATNESS

The birthday of George Washington
is nationally observed as holiday and an
occasion to recall the great services of this
Revolutionary soldier and inspiring Presi-
dent of the baby republic that he had so
much to do with establishing.
George Washington was. all mythical
stories to the contrary, man of his time.
He was exceptionally well-informed for his
era In no sense whatever was he any
thing like an rntutored woodsman and his
successful career demonstrates conclusives
" the intelligent direction of his life.
Americans of this day and time are
apt to regard Washington as a mythical
miracle worker but the truth is just the
opposite He was commanding figure in
his epoch and his fame has endured
through the years, largely because of the
success of the republic that he helped to
found.
We doubt if there is much to be
gained, however, by going back to Wash
ington for advice. He lived in an era far
his general observations as to basic prin-
ciples are sound there is no suspicion that
he had the faintest knowledge of the
greatness destined to belong to his re-
public. Nor is there much reason to be.
lieve that he was superior being, en-
bowed with the sense of prophecy and
able tolforetell future events and advise
how to meet future contingencies.
g We make these observations mainly
because we believe that the services of
Washington will be better appreciated if
they are viewed without any halo. He
was great leader, wise stateman and a
man worthy of emulation even today

GOV. MURPHY'S WARNING

Governor Frank Murphy, of Michigan,

he uttered a pointed warning that should

formula to keep our industrial society from
being plagued by such an economic para
lysis We have got to devise better and
more practical means of mediation with
out compulsion and the solution will come
when the vast public appreciates that the
public interest is supreme and that it over
shadows the interest of either party
Now, what is the answer? Nobody
knows. With labor demanding the right
to strike and to use any methods necessary
to win a strike and with employers and
owners stressing the rights of private
property, in the midst of a strike, the
prospect of some Solomon coming and
pointing out the answer is extremely

TELLS HOW HE FELT WHILE DEAD"

A news story from Aberdeen, Wash

dore Prinz, who was injured in an auto
mobile accident and sent to the hospital.
He was pronounced clinically dead for five
minutes, when his heart stopped, his lungs
collapsed and his body sagged. He re-
vived, however.
Afterwards, when he was able to talk,
Prinz described his experience, saying, -

is interesting, indicating an absence OF

any clear-cut or workable economic
principles to serve as useful guides in
solving these veiy complex problems
of employsr-employee relations. In

to hold this view. This is particularly
true of large proportion o. our labor

Are we to accept the view that the

we contend that our economic, social.

view rests upon the assumption that
force is superior to intelligence. The
latter assumes that modern society
should have SUFFICIENT intelligence %

that there is no logical defense for the
assumption that wars can settle any
problem of human relations with

Some Labor Fundamentals
BY WALTER E. SPAHR
parfnsent Of Economics, Nesp York Uniuersiiy

II we are people who would rank
Intelligence above force. then there
can be no proper place In the United
States for those movements phi losO-
phies, or tactics. which subscribe to
the doctrine Of class hatred.
II we are to accept the premise that
the answer lies IN coopii alton. then
we must find q sound basis for Coz
operation. What share Of theyvalue Of
the product produced cooperatively
by labor. capital. and employers.
should 60 to these various agents Of
production? This must be determined.
and the knowledge Of the principle
must be conveyed to the public in
way that can pe understood.
The next step - to establish the
machinery necessary to obtain the
facts when disputes arise and to eff
feet settlement on the basis of the
principle which is applicable. Only in
this way can intelligence be substi-
tuted for force.
II this reasoning is sound, then we
are led straight to certain otter con-
illusions. Arbitration machinery must
be provided. Responsibilities and
rights Of employers and employees
alike must be defined by law. and the
laws enforced. This would mean that
labor organizations, and labor Lead
ers. and employer associations and
employers. must be brought under
the same principles Of legal justice.
and that rights and obligations Of
property and Of contract must be
legally projected and enforced-all
looking steadfastly toward the end Of
peaceful and rational cooperation.
We are not facing these issues to-
day. and this reflects badly upon our
general level Of intelligence. lrra-
tionality is particularly marked in the
fact that we have permitted these ex-
tremely vital issues to become mat
tiers Of politics. This reflects the mimi
mum of economic sense and reflects
badly even upon those who cannot
think beyond the level Of politics.
A lesson to be seen in the present
labor turmoil Is that II is high time
that we forget the politics and the
superficialities of these issues, and
give some serious consideration to
the fundamentals involved.
