NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE TREND AWAY FROM sELF-RELIANcE

The main burden of the thousands of letters
reaching Washington from th9 ranks of Little Busl
ness, in connection with 'h1 conference of the
White House with this grou. $ reported by press
report to carry requests for capital.
The conference, no doubt will become artculate
with that cry from these ranks.
1t is popular and commonplace complex.
Everybody seems to want the government in
Washington to come to their aid with money
cheap money or if not that. free money.
The issue is to be considered as a trend and
symptom.
The people of this country, incident to the de-
preston, appear to have taken distant tumble
from their previous psychology of independence
and self-reliance.
Be it recalled that the troubles encountered in
this land during the past few years were not the
first of their kind ever experienced.
As matter of fact, there have been numerous
depressions since the inception of this republic
an average of about three to every generation,
some serious, others less so. ..
But on those previous occasions, there was none
of this throwing up of the individual hands and
racing of the cries of the country to the federal
government, sending up the Macedonian appeal to
the political authorities there to come over and
The South has lived through periods of four and
fve-cent cotton without batting an eye.
They were hard timeS-those times when cotton,
the main money crop, was selling at such price,
even though there was, at least the mitigating fac
tor that everything else was proportionatey low.
But hard were those days. the people OF the
South grinned and bore them.
They adjusted themselves to their situation,
bitter as it may have been.
They cut the cloth to suit the pattern. They drew
in their spending sails. They skimped, economical
did without and sacrificed in order to weather the
storm.
But that spirit seems to have disappeared from
our people, both those of low and high degree
those in one circle of private enterprise and those
in another, as we'll as those in circle of enter
prise at all.
Come hard times now, and Washington is I'M
plored.
Let work give out, and Washington is asked to
feed the jobess and create employment.
Admitting the expediency of the policy of the
strong government coming to the aid of the weak
individuals in an emergency, one must pause to
contemplate the implications of this trend.
Will the country ever get back on its feet and
both individuals and corporations regain the capac-
ity to paddle their own canoe?
Or has something been lost out of the ancestral
American character during the years of our famine
which will never be retuEned?-Charlotte Observer.

VJASHINGTON.-Boys and girls
w taking the course in current
events ought to be watching the
farm legislation.
It is the only measure Congress
indicates any intention Of passing
and, moreover, the finished bill
will be the first response of Con-
gress to exhortations that it legis-
late independently and stop being
a White House rubber stamp.
The measure as reported out by
Senate and House conferees will
be the first farm bill since 1888
not written chiefly by men in AAA
and the Department of Agricul-
ture. This time those officials just
haven't known what the confer
ence committee was doing and
their advice hasn't been asked Z.
Not only is Congress more in
dependent. Chairman Marvin
Jones of the House Agriculture
Committee and Senator John
Bankhead of Alabama, conference
chiefs, knew just what they want
ed without asking Secretary Wal
lace. Their chief difference,
bound to result in compromise,
was that Bankhead wanted con-
siderably more rigid crop control
than Jones.
AAA officials are sure the fin
ished result will be unavoidable
and that they wouldn't want to be
found dead with it.

Sugar, in fact, is practically a
magic word in Congress. Con-
ferees on the general farm bill
have decided that benefit pay
ments to growers shall be linn
tied to $4,000 a year. But just
the other day, with astonishing
speed, Congress rushed through
S39, 100000 appropriation bill for
carrying out the sugar act, which
is expected to mean single benefit
payments of at least 100000 for
each of at least six large produc-
ers. Probably it isn't true, as some
,ynics have suggested, that the
speed was due to fear that some

PUNCTURING THE SPELL OF A NEW
YORK ADDRESS
(By BRUCE CATION

(By BRUCE CATION
For many years it has been an industrial
custom for all companies to strive for the
day when they can have their "headquar-
tiers" in New York.
e.. A firm begins business locally, it pros
peers, grows. Then comes the urge for
New York address, the magic OF letter.
head carrying a number on Broadway and
Fifth avenue. And soon you have the spec
tacle of the management of that local COM
pany moving to New York, its president
and directors ensconced on Long Island,
and the local factory left to shift more or
less for itself under salaried managers.
Business management ought to question
the universal wisdom of this, and to weigh
against the unquestioned advantages of
New York headquarters the advantages
lost by pulling up roots from the old home
town. This often creates the feeling that
the locally-built enterprise is just an or
phan after all, administered by those who
have lost interest in the locality: ....
Is this the dizzy idea of some provincial
theorist2 Not at all. 1t is the serious ques-
ton posed by W. Averill Hartman, chair
man of the board of the Union Pacific rail-
way, who put it fatty up to the Bond Club
in New York.
Hartman called on business men to an
alyze quite frankly this concentration of
industrial control and to "either justify it
or change ii" ....
Often there are good reasons for a re-
moval to New York, Hartman indicated
But too often the move is made for no bet
ter reason than the prestige" of New
York address, the hope of better access to
financing, or even just because the presi-
dent or his family think it would be nice
to live in New York. In many such cases,
Hartman felt, "the weight of the values
may be on the side of their moving to CEN
tiers of their business activities or their pro-
duction." .-.. -,r.. go:
This urge for removal to New York,
Hartman felt, gives greater impetus than
the situation perhaps warrants, to the criti-
cism of concentration of industrial control
which is again rising to high pitch as it has
in the past. ...-. .-
Certainly no rule will apply to all bust
nesses; each must decide for itself. But in
a time when all social and business trends
are under criticism, and each is being made
to justify itself anew, it might be valuable
for many companies to study this situation.
Certainly, other things being equal, it is
best for the management of an industrial
firm to remain an integral part of the COM
munity on which its business has been built.
