Lerris To Go Political Viii Make

Roosevelt Attitude =.

WASHINGTON-The national radio address
which John L. Lewis will deliver the Friday be-

the enemies of the CI.O., an aggressive defenSe
of the new labor movement and a statement OF
Clio. policies.
There will be another Lewis speech on Labor
Day.

cided yet what tacKs to take and which ones
to leave out He has been consulting with
large number of advisers II the seriousness
with which Lewis takes his speech of Sept.
is indicative it will be one of the most momen-
tous addresses of the year.
Some of the advisers are radical to the point
where they are definite menaceS to Lewis. They
would have him br<ak with Roosevelt, be con-
temptuouS of public opinion" declare flatly
for farmer-labor party now and ignore moder-
ate counsels of other important union chiefs in
c. I. o.

Some of the other leaders have worried
about the sourness of Lewis toward Roosevelt
and the formers seeming obliviousness to CLOS
increasingly bad public relations. One CLIO.

John expects Roosevelt to go on the picket
line while Mrs Roosevelt collects money for
strikers and the Roosevelt children recruit new
union members. We think Roosevelt has done
all for union labor that we can reasonably ex-

Lewis claims 100000 members for CLIO. and
says 100000 have been added in the last year
The A. F. of L. although it lost about a million
when CLIO. unions moved out, claims about
the same total and nearly 100000 new members

Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, Hoo
yer nominee for the Supreme Court who
turned down by the Senate several years ago after
strong labor and Negro political lobbying, still
yearns for a seat on the highest bench.
One of the charges that helped block Parker
here was that he had been lawyer for public
utilities. But he has conspcuously upheld the
administration in the Duke power involv-
ing PWA financing of municipal power plants
Recently Parker undertook to show up Chief
Justice Hughes who had adjourned with his
court for the summer after sending the Duke
case back to the lower courts because of tech
nicality of onutting one word in Pro-New Deal
decision. (Hughes was believed to have done
this in order to avoid a threatened to dec-
son)
Parker at once went to District Judge Glenn,
urged prompt action, got a decision from Glenn
in May, set a session of his own appeals court
for Aug. 3 and produced another favorable deci-
sion with the technical omission repaired in
three days This midsummer speed, his friends

A CHANGING
WORLD

A few years ago when a tourist camp
was an oddity, very few people expected
the camp business to grow into an in
dustry collecting $25,0O0,000 a year.
But it has, and it continues to grow.
According to the figures, there are
almost 10000 camps in the 48 states,
and hardly day passes but that another
camp comes into existence
Which just goes to show that this is
an ever changing world. and the wise
man will keep his eyes open. There will
be ample opportunity for the Industrious
in the coming years.

TELL 'EM AND
SELL 'EM.

When anyone tells you America con-
sumes half the worlds coffee, or three
fourths of the worlds silk, remind him
he's only telling you one half of the
story.
To say the United States has dozen
times as many automobiles as all of Eu-
rope, or that q 100000 electric irons are
in use in American homes, really omits
the essential point that this isn't solely
because of our nations bountiful re-
sources, or because we are essentially a
progressive people.
Our furnishings, vacuum cleaners, ra-
dios, are better and more numeros than
those of any other nation. because the
good inventive brains that made them
were coupled with the desire of mer-
chants and dealers to tell people about
them, to acquaint hosewiveS and heads
of families with labor-saving devices for
the home. with good buys in clothing.
It's progress of a sort, it's true. if
someone devises a better washing ma
chine. or produces a longer-wearing kind
of cloth goods, or makes better ice-cream
than anyone else, but genuine progress
takes place only when these items are
enjoyed in large numbers of American
homes, and not lying idle in a laboratory
store-room or sales-window.
The real push in progress comes when
the world is told where it can get the
best shirts. or pair of shoes, for the
price, the best fifty-cent dinner, or the
best new or used car that will fit their
budget. If they're not advertised, the
products can be locked up in barn and
the key thrown away.
Make mouse-trap better than any
one else, and the world will beat a path
to your door-but first the world has to
know about the mouse-trap, what it
sells for, and where it can be had.

you CAN'T GET SOMETHING
FOR NOTHING

When the unemployment and social
security taxes were inaugurated, and
when relief was running rampant in the
not so far distant past, there were many
who thought they were getting something
for nothing.
Today those same citizens are finding
that they and their friends and their
families are paying for every benefit
which they MIGHT receive in the future
if they live long enough.
The costs of all things good must be
paid by someone. That the taxes are
in most cases directly against business
both big and little-means only that
these same business houses must boost
the prices of their products or services
to take care of the taxes When strikes
are called to force wages up, it only
means that the retail price of the product
manufactured must be boosted proper
tionately and the consumer foots the
bill.
Mr.. and Mrs. Everyday Citizen are
the ones who must pay the fiddler for
all the benefits which the public as a
whole is expected to receive.

Bruce Cation Sdys:>>
Hi There, MaeauIay! We Have Your Number!

He wrote series of famous essays,
and a 20-pound History of England
that was almost as popular in that
day as Gone With the Wind is in
this. Before he was years OLD
this prodigy had written a Com
pendium of Universal History, and
poems in II books.
Macaulay's work was SO highly
esteemed that he was made Lord
Macaulay. There seems little do,,
that he believed sincerely in r.
by a select, favored and talented
class: that pure democracy, or
as he called it, rule by the "the|
poorest and most ignorant part OF
society, was doomed to destroy
sooner or later liberty or civilizs~
ton, or both
ut Is quite plain wrote Olymp-
ian Macaulay, that your govern
ment will never be able to restrain
a distressed and discontented maj
ority". What is not so plain is, what
would be the use of keeping insti-
tutions under which a majority
were distressed and discontented?
Lord Macaulay wrote his famous
letter some 80 years ago. Yet the
United States government has sur
vived, possibly because there has
never yet been a time when the
