THOSE BUSY BUREAUS

What those government bureaus IN
Washington can't think up to experiment
and piddle with must be unthinkable.
After much research the Bureau of Stand
ards recently determined the relative noise
making possibilities of saxophone player
and tap dancer. Now these learned
scientists are investigating women's hose
and the limbs, shapely or otherwise, which
wear them. ae4y
They have decided that a 30-inch
length for ladies' stockings Is about right,
and maybe they viii pass law about it.
But, again, maybe not, for We read that
many women are protesting against this
attempt at Standardization, saying that
lin the arbitrary length some of them
look like infants in socks. while other
whose legs are shorter than normal, claim
the stockings will approach their ears"
These protests naturally call for fur
Their investigation and research by the
Bureau, including measurements for in
step, heel, toe. ankle and calf to deter
mine the exact dimensions appropriate for
the various sizes to be officially author
lied.
All of which causes the New York
Sun to pertinently remark that some of
the ways and means which the govern
ment finds for wasting taxpayers money
would be funny if the deficit and the prob
lem of finding money for taxes were not 50
serious"

BUSINESS HAS THE REMEDY

That American business is in the dol
drums for period appears established by
the current graphs and charts of economic
affairs. Certainly, the business develop
ments expected this Fall have not taken
place and, instead, there is a hesitant APP
proach to the problems of the future.
Various reasons have been assigned
for the present state of affairs. Big bust
ness, for the most part. blames the govern
ment, with its regulations and restrictions
in force, and lifts loud supplication for
relief. The word is abroad that private
capital will take over the fight against
unemployment if certain onerous burdens
are removed and the government re1ents in
its war upon capital and corporations
We do not believe that the people of
the United States desire the destruction of
big business or the legal execution of CAPT
tal Nevertheless, the people have sup
ported recent reforms because of the con-
victiOn that business itself neither recog-
nized nor recoiled from practices that have
been indefensible and costly to the pub
lie at large Let business, big or little,
show some interest in national welfare,
with an expression of willingness to give
up unfair privileges that exist, and we are
sure that the public will forget some of the
ancient wrongs.
Big business has done much for the
welfare of the people of the United States.
The Standard of living in this country is,
in part, tributeFto American enterprise
and Individual initiative. At sgthe' same
time, abuses have been scandalous in many
fields without apparent evidence that
business leaders had the intention or the
ability to remove them.
The remedy for such a condition lies
more within the fields of business activity
than in the realm of politics. The big
boys who have oppressed the "little fell
lows" in the past need not expect much
sympathy from the latter when the recOil
hits them heavy blows. They can have
public support when the public is con-
vinced that business is sound, that its
racketeering tactics have been abandoned
and that its leaders are earning the huge
salaries and bonuses that they receive.
This may be plain talk but it is the
basic cause of much unrest that has ap-
peared in the United States. Personally,
we are for big business-the bigger the
better so far as we are concerned. How
ever, there must be code of ethics In
business everywhere that is above the
profit aim and the sooner the people be-
come convinced of this the quicker will we
have confidence reestablished in the United
States.
