REVIVING AN ISSUE THAT DIED IN
1920
(By BRUCE CATTON

NbN bNNNt NsNl lO.N'
President Roosevelt's Chicago speech
rompels Americans to take another look
at a question which was supposedly set
tied once and for all in the League of Ma
tious election i'm 1920.
For although this speech contained not
the slightest hint that this country should
enter the League. it did point unmiStak
ably i'm the direction Of international CO.
operation along the lines laid down by
Woodrow Wilson.
In 1920 the country turned that idea
down flat. and imagined that its ghost was
laid forever. But the ghost proved restless.
1t stalked abroad from time to time during
the twentieS leaving its imprint on the
Dawes plan. the Young plan, the German
moratorium and the series of World Court
fights. Now it is back again. as robust and
substantial as ever.
And it is about time for us to ask our
selves whether the idea of complete ma
tional isolation is sound idea to follow
i'm q world where the ties binding nation to
nation are as strong as they are today.
The last few years have been grimly
educational. We have seen the collapse,
one after another, of the treaties and UNI
written laws by which national security is
buttreSSed. We have seen the triumph of
dictatorial gangs opposed to every ideal
we cherish. We have seen the world build
ing up for new war that would be more
dreadful and calamitOuS than the last one
Through all of this we have tried to
mind our own business; for we want very
earnestly TO be allowed to work out our
domestic problems, to find our way out OF
the recurring cycle of boom and depres-
sion. TO establish prosperity and justice IN
our land so that they cannot be shaken.
But to do this we need stable and peace
full world to work in.
So we are forced to ask ourselves, now,
whether this peaceful and stable work will
take shape of itself, in the condition things
are in now, or whether we will have to do
something to help it along.
The question answers itself. The world
is getting less stable and less peaceful
every day Pious expressions OF dsapprov-
al don't mend matters any more than they
kept Italy from overwhelming Ethiopia
kept Italy, Russia, and Germany from in
terfering in the Spanish civil war or kept
Japan out of China. If the world goes on
drifting it will eventually drift straight
into disaster.
The alternative, of course, is to take
definite and positive action, in cOllabora-
ton with other nations, to insure peace
and stability. 1t involves taking risks and
making enemies. 1t means concerning our
selves more directly and vitality than ever
before with the quarrels and intrigues of
the old world.
Do we want to do it? Probably not
And yet we may have to. For if it is risky
to do this, it is just about as risky to do
nothing at all.
We must decide which of the two risks
we are to take; and we may we'll find that
when the world is catching fire, we can be
safe only by helping to put the fire out.

Congress Receives Budget
Message of President

CTATING that he expects to bal
~ ance the national budget and be-
gin reducing the national debt in
1899, President Roosevelt submit
ted to congress budget for the 1888
fiscal year. This, he said, balanced
conditionally except for statutory
debt retirement-meaning that if
his conditions are met the gross def
icit for the fiscal year beginning
July l would not be more than
$401 SIS, 900, compared with $685.
652,77 in the current fiscal year
and $4, 763, 841, ,642 in the 1886 fiscal
year, which ended last June 30.
But the President warned the ma
ton that conditional budget balance
in the next fiscal year and complete
balance in the following year de-
pended on industry's cooperation in
hiring more persons from relief
rolls. All estimates were dependent
upon continued economic improve
ment.
The President estimated that fed
eral revenue in the next fiscal year
will increase by 81 ATS, 466, 378 be-
cause of better business and higher
taxes. He did not propose new taxes
but opposed the reduction of any
taxes now in effect.
The message allotted 451 millions
to a general public works program,
excluding the Florida ship canal
and the Passamaquoddy tide har-
Messing project; 482 millions for ag-
riculatural relief and soil conserva-
ton; 1856 millions for social Secur-
ity, and BIG millions for recovery
and relief.
The message revealed that Mr..
Roosevelt planned to curtail relief
expenditures sharply from the 1886
81 levels. But he found available
funds insufficient for the rest of
the current fiscal year and asked
congress to appropriate $3.50, 100000
Immediately, of which $3.50, 900 900
is to be expended for recovery and
relief between February and June
80 when the 1887 fiscal year ends.

corporations position:
General Motors corporation rep
resentativeS Immediately upon
evacuation of its plants by employ
ees engaged in sit down strikes will
meet with Representatives of the
union, but to accept the unions
conditions would have placed Gen
eral Motors in the position of con-
doning their illegal actions. We can
not condone illegal occupation of
our plants
The union conditions, as set forth
by President Homer Martin, were:
1--WE are willing to agree to with
drawal II negotiations are opened
Immediately with an agreement that
all plants remain closed, without
movement of equipment or resump-
tion of activities until national set
tlement is effected, and with a fur
ther agreement that all activities
such as circulation of petitions, Or
ganizing of vigilante activities,
threatening or coercing Of employ
ees, be Immediately stopped"
About a thousand men, engaged
in the sit down strikes, were thus
holding up negotiations for settle
ment of the controversy which al
ready had thrown out of work near
ly 100, 900 employees of the corpora
ton.
General Motors officials received
kilograms from number of Ameri-
can Federation of Labor units urg-
ing no recognition of the United Au-
tomobile Workers as sole bargain
ing agency for the motor car fac
tory workers. They were assured
the corporation would not back
down on this point.
Making the situation more diff
cult, the strikers in Flint engaged in
a wild, riotous battle with the
guards and city police that lasted
for hours and resulted in the injury
of dozens of men. The local Off
GERS restrained themselves admir-
ably though armed with machine
guns, and the state police were hur-
ried to the scene to aid them. Gov
ernor Murphy and other state Off
cials also went to Flint.

dent, continue to meet the demands
of democracy whether they relate to
the curbing of abuses, the extension
of help to those who need help, or
the better balancing of our inter-
dependent economies.
$50, too, the executive branch of
the government must move forward
in this task and, at the same time,
provide better management for ad-
ministrative action of all kinds.
''The judicial branch also is asked
by the people to do its part in max
ing democracy successful We do
not ask the courts to call non-ex-
istent powers into being, but We

ceded powers or those legitimately
implied shall be made effective in
struments for the common good.
1.-THE process of our democracy
must not be imperiled by the denial
of essential powers of free govern
ment."
Sketching the program for his Sec
ond term, the President said legis-
lation he desired at this time in
cluded extension of the RFC, of his
power to devalue the dollar and Of
other New Deal authorizations about
to expire, deficiency appropria-
tions, and extension of the neutrality

of Brookings Institute

foundation, summarizes proposals
for "a consistent program of fur

which are, briefly:
Re-establishment of a balanced
federal budget.
Continuance of the present policy
of maintaining a fixed price of gold
and the establishment through in
ternational cooperation of a system
of stable foreign exchange.
Extension of the reciprocal trade
agreements "as the most practical
means of reducing artificial barriers
to commerce and reopening the
channels of international trade"
Preservation of the generally
favorable ratio of prices and wage
rates"
Maintenance of prevailing hours
of labor "as the only means of
meeting the production require
ments involved in restoring dur
ing the next few years the stand
ards of living of the laboring masses
and promoting the economic ad-
vancement of the nation as
whole"
Elimination of private and public
industrial practices (which tend to
restrict output or to prevent the in
crease of productive efficiency"
Shifting of the emphasis in agri-
cultural policy from restricted out
put and rising prices to the abun-
dant furnishings of the supplies Of
raw materials and foodstuffs re-
quired by gradually expanding mar

little eye-screening affairs if you
wish and they really are practical
and will maintain their vogue the

not tell the whole story of wells,
for in the new varieties there are
most dramatic wells, some almost
shoulder depth. Many tiny hats,
especially the pill-box type are in
dividualized with clever wells, the
wide mesh effects being especially
good. The newer French wells also
