mo WAR is IMMINENT"

Mrs. Anne O'Hare Mccormick, jour
nalist, recently returned from trip to
Europe, where she interviewed prominent
leaders in London, Paris, Rome, Vienna,
Prague and Berlin.
She gets the impression that these
statesmen don't know from week to week
where they are going" but declares 'they
all are thinking of peace" She continues,
zone thing upon which all these govern
ment heads are agreed is that no war is
imminent disaster has passed.
The fact, however, that all great
powers are feverishing arming themselves
for war indicates something else again.
Very plainly the signs point to war, al
though no man can say when it will begin
or what comparatively minor incident may
cause the explosion. Meanwhile, every
body is getting ready and past experience
leads to the conclusion that warfare is dis
tinctly threat in Europe in spite of what
the governmental leaders say,

sIT-DoWN STRIKES DANGEROUS

That the sit-down strike has intro
dnced new and dangerous weapon into
labor warfare cannot be disputed. In view
of the epidemic of such strikes that has
followed the original it appears that pub
lie opinion in the United States must soon
crystalize and express itself
The seizure of other peoples prop
erty by dissatisfied laborers is serious
matter. If permitted to continue it will
not be long before every dissident group
will undertake similar mass seizures and
property rights will vanish. That the
American people contemplate this even
tuality, or that they will permit it to hap
pen, is not to be contended.
As a general rule, The Citizen is In
clined to support organized labor's eff
forts to improve the conditions of the
working people of the United States. It is
even willing to make allowances for the
exuberant action of men and women,
fighting their economic battles against adj
verse odds, but, even after doing so, we
cannot give blanket endorsement to the
tactics that have been evolved in the sit
down strike
1t is plain to see that if legitimate
unions are accorded the right to seize prop
erty of others the illegitimate labor organ
izations, of the racketeer type, will also
use the same weapon. There is no way for
the owner of property to determine wheth-
er sit-down strike is directed by workers,
or by criminals, gangsters and racketeers,
who desire to take advantage of the UNI
lawful possession of property
Sooner or later there will arise de-
mand for governmental power to effec-
lively deal with sit-down strikes, as we'll as
other labor troubles. The President of
the United States is on record in favor of
governmental powers to compel the mutual
observance of labor contracts by employee
and employer alike. This would do away
with the necessity of resorts to force and
put the government in the business of an
arbter of disputes between capital and
labor, with the idea that the interests of
the general public come first and should
be first served

A NATIONAL DILEMMA

The trouble that Congressman are
having in attempting to. determine a neu-
trality policy for the United States in
dicates that it is virtually impossible to
be in the world and out of it at the same
time.
While we understand that the politics
of our day and generation have apparent
ly decreed that the United States shall
have as little to do with the affairs of
other nations as possible we are not mis-
led into believing that it is possible for
this great, powerful nation to live alone.
Being part of the earth and a ma
ton of great prestige it is inevitable that
the policies of the United States affect
every other nation. Even a do-nothing
policy has a transcendent effect upon
world politics. A cash and carry neu-
trality law, for example, practically allies
us with the nation that happens to control
the sea. A policy to protect our commerce
involves the risk of conflict, which every
body is anxious to avoid The dilemma
exists in almost every sphere of action. 1t
cannot be side-stepped.

reSentativeS on February % by Rep-
resentative Wright Patman of Texas
may prove to be the last of the long
series of wild money bills which
characterized this depression.
The Patman bill III. r. 50l0) pro-
poses that the government create a
sufficient supply of money to provide
full employment to all people capable
of labor, and full utilization of the
natural resources of the country,
that the value of money Chat is. the
price leveD be stabilized, and that
the Board of Governors of the Fed
eral Reserve System be charged with
the duty of making this policy effec-
live; that the Federal Reserve banks
be purchased from the member
banks by the Federal government;
and that legal tender money issued
under authority of the Constitution
of the United States" be issued by
the government to replace all other
paper currency.
Since this bill is so typical of those
that have appeared during the re-
cent depression, and since it is to be
hoped that it may be the last of the
series, it may be worth while to point
out briefly its principal fallacies and
dangers.
In the first place there is no evil
dence to support the assumption that
a government, by printing paper
money. can provide full employment
to all employable people. There is
evidence to show that such issues of
paper money destroy confidence,
create uncertainties. cause deprecia-
ton in the value of money, and lead
10 q wide variety of unfortunate eco
nomic Embellishments and social
consequences.
What constitutes full utilization
Of natural resources?" And should a
nation attempt to utilize its resources
fully, or should it conserve some of
them for future generations? And
could any type of paper money issue
assure any particular utilization of

natural resources? The answers tc

that a government can stabilize the
price level through the control Of
the supply Of paper money. It over
looks the factors controlling the We.
locities of money and the multitude

sumes that the price level should be

apparently provide no lessons of any
value whatever to Representative
Patman.
The bill charges the Board of Gov
errors of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn with duty it could not possibly
perform. and ignores the lessons of
the world to the effect that, when
governments take over central bank
ing systems and administer them the
control of credit and money supply
and of the price level is not improved
but definitely weakened and endan-
gered.
The provision for an issue of legal
tender money under authority of
the Constitution" would seem to inn
ply (of course, incorrectly that the
money now issued is not constitu-
tional. 1t provides that the proposed
legal tender paper money shall re-
legal tender) but says nothing what
ever about the proposed money hav-
ing any reserves or collateral as un-
DERIVING security. 1t seems quite clear
that it is intended that the proposed
legal tender money shall be an I'M
secured or fiat paper money--in other
words, il is greenbackism, pure and
simple.
Such proposal assumes, of course.
that the people of this nation do not
know the difference between paper
money token with ho tangible or
universally acceptable metallic re-
serve and paper money that is Sc
cured by, and redeemable in, an ac-
ceptable metallic reserve. It incor-
rectly assumes that the government
can maintain the value of these
paper tokens. 1t incorrectly as
sumes that it is quite proper for
the government to defraud the peo-
pie of this country by issuing to them
unsecured and irredeenable paper
tokens which in time will depreciate
in value. It incorrectly denies, by
implication, that the bitter lessons.
which the nations O. the world have
learned many times from the use of
such paper money tokens, are of any
value whatever.
