You and Your
Nations Affairs
Mr.. Lewis Plans Revealed
By HARLEY L. LUTZ
Professor Of Public Finance, Princeton University

/ bargain. Hence, organization is essen
tial to collective bargaining,
The differences that arise are likely
| to be conferred about the question OF
methods and procedures rather than
| the question of basic aims. In other
words, the difficulty is not so much
a matter of what labor may reason
| ably want and seek to get, as it is a
matter of how labor. or the leaders OF
labor propose to 60 about getting it.
At this point, Mr.. Lewis article is
significant, both for its statement of
program and for its omissions. The
keynote of his program is -. legis-
lation or other provision for eco
nomic planning. and for price. pro-
duction and profit controls" 1t is
to be noted that he does not include
wage control When this legislative
goal is reached, the governmental
control of every other economic share
will naturally give to labor all that is
left. Mr.. Lewis apparently does not
realize that his plan of controlling
what every one else does and gets in
evitably means. indirectly If not de
rectly. a similar control over labor.
In his present enthusiasm for such a
scheme. he expects the labor share to
be much more than at present. On the
contrary it is likely to be less.
The ultimate solution of the labor
problem that Mr.. Lewis proposes is
political action. The labor movement
should possess effective strength. he
says. mot only in the economic field
but also in the political field. to be
used without reserve, if necessary. in
the great battle for humanity and
genuine democracy"
MIR. Lewis somewhat naive eco
Monies will be examined in a later
article. Here it may be observed that
the plan for labor to use political ae-
ton without reserve" strongly sug-
gests another proposal made nearly
hundred years ago in the supposed
interest Of humanity. This proposal
was the Dictatorship of the prole-
tariat" and the document in which it
was made was The Communist Mani
festo.

movement, it is entitled to our care
ful consideration.
No fair-minded person can offer
serious objection to the basic aspira-
tons of the labor movement. Fair
wages for the work done, the realiza-
ton of a decent standard of living,
and the preservation of an inner self
respect as )nes works-these are es-
sential conditions for the mainte-
nance of society Of free men. Mr..
Lewis does not express the detectives
of the labor movement in these words.
but we may assume that he would
accept such a statement, although his
srti-le makes clear that he proposes
to 20 much farther.
Nor can any fair-minded person
doubt that effective collective bar
aiming is necessary to enable labor
ers to deal with employers on terms

THE REASON FOR BUSINESS

There are many business men who
have lost sight of the basic reason for the
existence of business and so we quote,
with approval. the recent utterance of
William NJ. JeFfers. president of the Union
Pacific Railroad. on the subject -
Money making should be the result,
juStifiable result and necessary one il
business is to live" says Mr.. letters. hut
it is not the reason for its existence. The
basic reason IS 10 serve humanity. to
supply the needs of the people. TO aid in
their well-being and their comfort. f"
When business fails to take into con-
sideration this basic reason. regardless OF
what profits may occur. business has ne
excuse for existence. Profits should de
velop out of service. not out Of manipula.
tons, speeulations and unfair competitive
positions.

FoIBLES OF THE GREAT

Nothing is quite SO mysterious as the
working of the human mind A study of
men classed as geniuses generally shows
them to be little cracked in certain re-
spects. Sometimes their peculiarities have
been harmless in other cases they have
led to positive insanity. A few examples
will illustrate:
Napoleon was afraid of cat; Peter
the Great was afraid to cross a bridge /;
Martin Luther imagined that the devil ap,
peared to him and he threw his ink bot
tie at the fiend; Samuel johnson, Beeth-
oven and Lincoln at times contemplated
suicide.
Among the ridiculous antics of great
men may be mentioned the occasional
habit of Cardinal Richelieu to gallop
around a billiard table imagining himself
to be a horse. Adam Smith, the great
economist, once walked II miles to church,
clad only in his nightshirt. Bentham, the
philosopher, went bareheaded in winter
and wore heavy leather gloves in summer.
Many men of genius have been shockingly
lax in morals as measured by usual
standards.
All this does not mean. however, that
being a little nutty is an infallibie sign of
genius.

SUGGESTS 25-CENTs BOOKS

The people of the nation, as a whole,
do not go in for the reading of books. Of
course, there are individuals in every sec
ton who devour the latest publications,
with most of their emphasis upon what the
erudite call trash, but many persons,
considered intelligent, scarcely read books
at all.
Maybe, it is because, like HeYvey
Allen says, every writer has to compete
with the movies but we doubt if book
reading was any more prevalent in the era
before the screen engaged the time of
familieSeverywhere.
( The author of Anthony Adverse, >
however, makes suggestion that might
help when he says authors and publishers
should reach the 25-cent crowd not only
in what we write but also in the prices for
books" II is along the right line because
not every family. fighting to make ends
meet, can spare 81 or IS for many books,
regardless of how good the contents may
be.

provide for certain judgments, but the city
council decided to include in the budget
all defaulted and maturing bond debts
which required levy of 3.700 mills. II

PAINT IS CLUE
IN F|END HUNT

LOS ANGELES. July 2 QN.SO
Described as the most important
clue to date" police chemists to-

under the fingernails of one Of the
little girls murdered in the Ingle-
wood triple Staying.
The paint scrapingS we're found
by Ray Pinker, chemist, after he
had bent over his microscope seek
ink additional clues all night. He
said:
"The Scrapings, which were
under the nails of one hand only,
probably came from the hands
or clothes of the slayer as the
little girl fought against him.
The scrapings were found under
the nails of eight-year-old Melba
Everett. No scrapings were found
under the nails of the other two
victims-her sister, Madeline, 7,
and jeanette Stephens, 8, Pinker
said.
Police, hopeful that this evil
dence of the little girls struggle
against the murderer may be the
means Of tracking him to earth,
started at once on an attempt TO
trace down the scrapings.
Only one of the many suspects
was actually booked in jail. He
was Luther Down. 33-year-old tran,
