The Real Business Situation
Business Week.


We have Just finished the best August since 1929.
Actual farm income and buying power are better
than any time in the last eighteen years. National
income increased eight billion dollars in the last
twelve months Whether we know it or not business
is good and whether we like it or not, business is
going to continue to be good
1t is easy to understand why business men should
feel sick when they contemplate the long, time pros
pect of political economy in this country. 1t is not
necessary for them quit thinking just because they
have beyache little thinking ought to convince
them that for the next couple Of years business in:
this country is going to be exactly what the Admins
stration wants it to be and that the Administration
is intelligent enough to want good business. sa3
We don't stop to realize what changes have taken
place in the relationship between government and
business. The government for the first time has
complete and absolute control all of our gold
our banks our currency, and our whole credit ma
chnery 1t completely controls transportation dom
agriculture exercises wide manipuatve powers
bearing on almost every aspect of business life.
The government make credit so cheap and
make expansive and speculative activities SO attrac-
tive that initiation is inevitable if initiation be needed
in the Federal scheme of things. And If private en-
erprse fails take advantage of the expansive OPP
portunities offered by government manipulation, the
government can simply enlarge the scale upon which
il becomes business by manufacturing and spending
money.
Again let us say that business will be good because
the government wants it and can produce it, but natu-
raj factors will make this largely unnecessary The
banks have a broad base for the creation of credit
and the government is bringing arbitrary measures to
force expansion of this credit base We are
at that point in the recovery cycle from which, in all
our history there never has any serious reaction
However terrifying may be the long time prospect
as the business man it, nothing short OF a world
cataclysn can prevent a broad business expansion
during the next year or two.

No Mercy
New York Times

New York Times
Of horrors in the Sino-Japanese war there is no
end The latest to be disclosed is that neither the
Japanese nor the Chinese make practice of taking
prisoners Almost invariably each side, after vic
tory that the defeated forces were annhl
lated The uniformity of these communiques has
aroused the suspicion of the correspondents covering
the batefronts that probably quarter is asked or
given.
OF this practice of absolute Illuminating
but horrifyng explanation is offered by Pearl BUCK
the eminent interpreter of the East to the West IN
an article in the october issue of Asia entitled West
ern Weapons in the Hands of the Reckless East"
The Orient she points out has not had in its cviliza-
ton humanitarian development. Individual life
is worthless Consequently there have been no social
programs for the control of famine and disease Whlch
such frightfu toll of life. The Orentals inter-
est she says turned toward art and philosophy and
81" is curious fact that these tend to detach person
from life, so that where the highest development IN
art and philosophy is found there is found also the
greatest callousness toward human beings" Thus
there is no such thing fair play in war distress,
and the lives of noncombatantS prisoners are OF
no more value than any other, which is to say they
have no value at all Only the group matters, and
groups be replaced. ts
The Chinese and Japanese who have nothing
in them to balance the nhuman power of the weapons
the West has sold them - Our feeling that hui
man creature has the right to live we cannot wrap up
in separate packages and ship with every bomb and
sheD," practicing war logically and therefore
with utter ruthlessness This accounts for the aston
ishment and anger of the Japanese the reaction OF
Western opinion to the bombing of Chinese cities and
the killing of thousands of noncombatants. To the
Japanese it is unntelligible that nation at war
should be expected to refrain from use of weapon in
the way in which it contribute most to victory.
To be sure, this disregard of human values has
been emulated by of the Western Powers bent
gaining their own ends, but Occidentals still in
stinctively reco against such cruelty. Each days
news alas! bears out Mrs Bucks conclusion that ito
have the means of death in ones hands with no fear
of death in ones heart the ultimate of terror not
only those engaged in such warfare but for every
body else

Why Mr.. Hull is Popular
(Cincinnati Enouirer)


There is less criticism and more praise Tor the
State Department than for any other division OF the
administration Mr.. Farley in the Post Office gets
hauled over the Goals pretty regularly for sins OF
omission and commission. The other departments
appear to be almost synonymous with the New Deal
They with the President are blamed for its errors
and of course credited with its successes The fault
finding with the New Deal is of the most violent char
acter And there is almost entire unanimity against
the policy of mitless spending of government money
until national debt is beginning to be burden too
heavy to be borne.
But the State Department has few critics. On the
contrary the entire country approves OF Secretary
Corden Hull and his policies The reason is plain
Mr.. Hull believes in peace. He devotes himself to
measures which will preserve the peace. And the
American public approves We do not wish war. we
do not wish to be involved in neighbors quarres
We wish to live in friendship with all the world. we
do not wish for isolation but do wish to let others
alone to work out destiny in peace and quiet
Because Mr. Hull boldly and without ceasing
stands for these things, he is winning golden opinions
from all sorts and conditions of men.
