WASHINGTON'S TIMER

One of the noticeable features of the new deal
machine is that its timer simply will not stay put.
On his western trip Mr. Roosevelt emphasized
his "long term" program. Any kind of planned
economy contempates long range building. 1t pre-
supposes a careful attention to specifications and
their working out term of years. Haste,
premature action and lack of elaboration must be
traits which are incompatible with its success.
Yet even as Mr.. Roosevelt stressed his ultimate
detectives before md-western audiences, he revert
ed to what has been his governing philosophy of do
it now The country must have farm control and
wage legislation; it cannot even wait for the regu-
lar session of congress for attainment of these OBJ
jectives
The same jumpiness has characterized each ma
jor undertaking. During the depression there was
no denial of an emergency, crisis, and prompt,
even hasty action was juStifabe on WaShington's
part. With recovery which the administration it.
self has hailed, however, there has been cessa-
ton in the depletion of crises. When the supreme
court threw the NRA out the window, were
told that the skies were going to fall nobody has
found piece of nebula at his feet yet. When the
president got around court reform another crisis
was declared to be upon us. The reform failed of
achievement has yet, and that promised crisis
is still to materiaze. Unless an ever-normal gran
airy is provided right now, doom again mpends. A
crisis can be pulled from a hat on any and every
occasion; and then the scurry, the rush, and
the thrill of meeting it.-Greensboro News.

WAoiiNHloN' " sis''''u
Republican politicians, who
couldn't keep their minds off 1910
even if they tried, cast frequent
sideglanceS at Thomas E. Dewey
of New York.
Dewey is famous in the east as
the special prosecutor who has
broken up vice and other racketS
in New York City. He is now
running for district attorney of
New York on the same ticket with
Mayor F. II. LaGuardia. A Spec-
tacular reform district attorney in
the metropolis would be an OBJ
viouS good Republican bet for the
governorShip, timber being as
scarce as it is, and nearly any
Republican governor of New York
would be a strong candidate for
preSldenual nomination.
All this would require some fast
going, however, and Mr.. Dewey is
a long shot in an obstacle race.
Tammany still has many jobs and
privileges and the nightmare OF
Mr.. Dewey making hay for him
self by busting up Tammany
racketS in district after district is
calculated to bring all the biclSer-
ing groups in that once powerful
machine together in an effort to
smother him.
Dewey runs only in the Tam
many stronghold Of Manhattan
and not in the adjacent boroughs.
Thus he is considered to have a
poorer chance thar. LaGuardia.
Furthermore, the Republicans

Farley has his mind set on running

DESTINED to blaze deep trails

DESTINED to blaze deep trails
- in American history was the

France.
When scarcely 30, he was sent
70 Canada to- preach the gospel &c
the red man. Marquette first took
up his work at Sault Ste. Marie
aboring among the OttawaS. He
built a simple church in this busy
trading post and began the accu-
mutation of geographic informa-
ton at once Of rare value &c
France. He was both missionary
and pioneer.
In 1872 he was joined by Joliet
experienced explorer, sent out by
the government, and the two OF
them, accompanied by five French
canoeiStS, started southwark or
the voyage that was to make them
famous. The Mississippi river was
an unknown stream when tina,

il flowed; the perilS it entallcd.
When they toiled back northwaro
some two years later they had
cleaned the Mississippi's first great
secrets.

SEEING OUR JOBS AS PART OF THE
WHOLE
(By BRUCE CATION

The business world wants the small lib
eral arts college to supply it with men
who are citizens first and business men
second
DR.. Luther A. Harr, Pennsylvania state
secretary of banking, made this remark be-
fore some 900 educators who had gathered
at NIuhlenburg College the other day for
an academic symposium. He went on to eX-
pand his statement by saying that the bust
ness world needs men with these Qualifica-
tons:
Men with an awareneSS of the pressing
problems of our distressed world; men with
the desire to grapple with the most danger
Gus and difficult issues; men with enough
historical background not to be deluded by
the sirens of FasciSm or the vigorous claims
of Communism; men who realize that bust
ness is not the be-all and end-all of life,
but part of a larger whole
All of which shapes up to quite set OF
specifications. 1t is much like telling the
colleges: I'VE need a smarter and more al
truistic set of human beingS-won't you
please start grinding them out?" 1t is a
good trick if the colleges can do it.
And yet something along the line of what
Mr. Harr is asking for is very greatly need
ed-nOt only in the world of business, but
in all other walks of life as well. For we
are under the necessity nowadays, more
than ever before, to realize that ali of us
as Americans are in the same boat togeth-
er, that we can't drift our way out of our
troubles, and that we need something more
than mere application to the problems or
our own bread and butter.
Life has grown almost unimaginably
complex in this modern world. The nation
al welfare depends on the mutual ADJUST
ment of an infinite number of individual
selfish desires-which boil down, in the
end, to the varying ways in which each of
us tries to get as many of the good things
of life as he can possibly lay his hands on.
Our success, or lack of it, in that age-Old
human quest depends largely on the sort
of country we have-its degree of pros
perity, its ability to evolve policies that
will keep the economic machine working,
its readiness to remove disabilities from
the shoulders of the unfortunate. And yet
these things, in their turn, grow out of the
way in which we as individuals go about
the business of earning living.
We are all links in a chain which de-
scribes an endless circle. No trade, bust
ness or profession can settle its problems
without reference to the larger whole. 1t
is hardly going too far to say that our ma
tional future depends on our ability to see
our personal concerns in their relation to
the national picture. If the colleges can
help us to do this, then more power to
them.
