Economic Review

President RGosevelt's speech on
world affairs, in which he castigat-
ed relationships and proposed a
virtual quarantine of bellicose
powers, is perhaps the most inn
portant international event of many
months. It was greeted with almost
unanimous praise in this country,
by papers of all political affilia-
tions. It charted a definite course
which this government is apparent
ly prepared TO follow. 1t was direct,
aggressive and, for the head Of the
government, extremely daring. In
The view Of the experts, it is be
lleved certain that the British and
possibly the French foreign offices
we're consulted before the speech
was made, and that the plan of
action laid down by the President
is approved by the three great dem
ocracies of the world.
Mr.. Roosevelt's suggestion is as
simple as it is revolutionary. In eff
feet, he said that it might be nee
essary to place a towering CONNER
cial wall around the nations which
are responsible for today's wal
scares and war prospects. Peaceful
nations would refuse to export to
these countries, and they would
not import from them. Little BY
little, as supplies on hand dwindled,
the belligerent powers would find
themselves lacking in the raw and
finished materials which are essen
tial to life both in peace and in
war. Thus, faced with want and
privation, they would find it i'm
possible to pursue their dreams of
conquest.
The president did not mention
any country by name. But it was
obvious that he was referring to
three powers: Japan, Italy, Ger
many. Italy has taken over Abys-
sinia, in disregard of all treaties,
by armed force. Japan is attempt
ing to achieve a similar victory in
rich North China. And Germany
with Hitler as its spokesman makes
no secret of the fact that it regards
colonial expansion as essential.
The world effect of such a de
claration of potential policy would
have been nowhere near as great
had it come from the head of any
other country. W. are remote from
all other major powers. We are
peacefully inclined. We are one of
the two nations which are eeonomi
cally self contained-that is,
which possess within their territor-
ial borders the resources needed to
provide every necessity and most
of the luxuries of modern life. And,
for the past few years, we have
been the great question mark in
international affairs-we have NOV
ed slowly, said little and have kept
aloof from participation in world
events.
The Presidents attitude, rough
ly described, is that we could not
escape being involved in a major
war, that we must therefore coop
rate to prevent war. He gave ap-
prevail to American cooperation
with the League of Nations
which, significantly, is Stunned by
Germany, Italy and japan. Out of
this has come the belief that in the
immediate future the world will be
divided into two camps--the demo
cracies and the relationships. On
the side of the democracies there
will also be the only dictatorship

They planted weeds among the flowers,
Those crude and ugly weeds;
They poured their venom out IN showers
And reveled in their deeds.
They tried to turn sweet love to hate;
Why would they do such thingf;
But Providence will eompensates
Swift vengadee will lie bring.
They took the truth and twisted it,
If twist it will or bend;
They tried so hard to make it fit

It is no longer Mr., Justice Black
1t is Klansman Black!
Justice" Black and 'Klansman''
Black are not harmonious terms.
and since Mr.. Black himself as
serted over the radio, 4 joined the
Klan,o there is no doubt about who
he is.
Klansman Black has been loaded
down with a Catholic secretary, a
Jewish law clerk, and a colored
messenger. No matter. All waters
Of the Atlantic and the Pacific can
not wash away his oath to Ku Klux
terrorism, taken after he reached
his majority. Had Mr.. Black been
charged with something for which
he was not responsible, there might
be some roo fer a charitable at
titude toward him, but such is not
the case.
OF course Mr.. Black now says
he is not in sympathy with the
Klan. A great many people would
drop the Ku Klux Klan, and many
other ties and affiliations, if by so
doing they might win greater ap-
probation from their fellows, not
to mention important salary in
creases.
It is now eight Supreme Court
Justices, and one Klansman. We're

ent-Russia.
The strengath of an alliance be
tween the d~emocracies of u. S. S.
L. is impossible 20 exaggerate.
From either economic or military
standpoint, they are immensely SUI
perior to the relationships. Japan
Italy and Grmany must importe
tremendous quantities of the basic
commodities in order to exist. They
must export their own specialities,
such as silk and olive oil and wine,
in order to obtain foreign credits.
Close the worlds markets to them,
and at the same time forbid them
to buy in democracies, and they
would be ruined. And, should they
elect to fight, every recognized mil
itary expert is certain that they
would be doomed to quick and
crushing defeat. The U. S. and
England have the greatest navies
afloat. Russia the largest and best
equipped standing army in the
world. The relationships have no
thing to match these instruments
of force.
Summing up, a union of the de-
mocracies is designed to achieve
two ends. One, to maintain peace,
Second, if that fails, to make sure
that the ensuing war will be swift
and ruinous to the relationships.

and ruthless exploitation.

and ruthless exploitation.
1t is automatic that wages paid
the lowest paid workers, determine
the standard for the rest of the
workers. When black American
workers are paid scarcely enough
to keep body and soul together. it
stands to reason that white labor
cannot expect to get nor
With such a true axiom Pene-
trating the horizon, something must
be done, and thus comes the Wages
and Hour Bill, which would set a
minimum wage of 40 cents an houE
and limit the work day to reasOnk
able and humane limits. This
means that southern wages would
for the first time in history appro-
ximate wages in the more civilized
North. -.
This means that the South would
no longer be preserved for indus
trial exploiters, which means that
given an even wage scale North and
South, it would be impossible to
endure factory and mill owners to
move out of the North, ana the
South's drive for industrialiEation
would come up against a blank
wall. Thus, is the why of the rave
on the part of southern statesmen
against the Wages and Hour Bill.
The only sound solution is the
organization everywhere of white
and black abor. There is increas-
ing evidence that white labor is be
ginning to understand this truth
and beginning to put it into pract-
ice. Striking confirmation of this
belief is found in the rapid growth
of mixed unions and the changed
attitude of organized labor toward
black Americans and unskilled
workers. Therein lies the greatest
hope for a higher standard of hv-
ing for all Americans. Black and
white bond together and fight for
the passage of the Wages and Hour
Bill.

BUFFALO, N. Y, September l8.-
One balloon that took OF here Last
night for New York came down In the
Adirondack Mountains late today and
the other ended its journey near Lake
Ontario.
j. A. Williams, one of five men IN
the larger of the two aircraft, tele-
graphed relatives that his party had
landed safely at Sabbatis, near Tupper
Lake.
Blown northeastward instead of
southeastward, as its pilot had hoped,
the big balloon came down 800 miles
from its intended destination-Man-

John E. Copeland, who was flying
solo IN small balloon in = hope OF
gaining pilots license, Waived his
craft down into a field at Webster
at $50 am. TO save himself from
being blown out over Lake Ontario.
Webster is near Rochester, and about
100 miles from Buffalo.
But the exact whereabouts and
probable landing place of the other

manned uncertain until late In the
day. Its pilot was Milford vanik, a
veteran balloon racer, and its crew
were four men who we're making their
