IS YEARS AGO
AT GETTYSBURG

The Battle Of Gettysburg, turning
point in Americas desperate civil war,
was fought rs years ago-and today the
blue-and gray-clad veterans of that war
have gathered at Gettysburg to renew
the heritage of that battle. 1t is heri-
tage of peace, not one of bitter memories.
Seventy-five years ago at Gettysburg
men of the same blood and the same ma
tion with hatred so intense it tore aside
the bonds of fellowship nature had weld
ed Today at Gettysburg the remaining
members of Union and Confederate arm
les meet as friends.
Seventy-five years from today, what
will be the condition on today's battle
fields?
More important, how will today's COM
batants regard one another rs years from
today? VIII friendship take the place of
today's bitterness, or will hatred lurk
beneath the surface still, merely waiting
another breeze of i'll omen to fan it into
life?
The world could, if it would, learn
lesson from these men camped again at
Gettysburg after IS years. 1t is a simple
lesson, having to do solely with the un-
importance of the things about which
wars are fought.
To the Union and Confederate states
of rs years ago, the issue of states rights,
and the other issues at stake, were as
important as the issues of the Spanish
civil war are to Spain today Yet media
tion could have settled the Spanish civil
war
The tragedy of war is that its greatest
mistake is shown only in the history
books. 1t is the mistake of being fought
at all.

LEHMAN DISSENTS-AGAIN

(The Wall Street JournaD
Governor Lehman is a member of the
ascendant political party who, during
five and half years in office has heartily
supported its liberality with public funds.
AS governor of the wealthiest and most
heavily assessed state in the Union, he
has seldom-if ever-hesitated to assume
governmental responsibility for the "wel-
fare of the people in the broadest sense
of that wide-open term. He mas lately de-
clared his willingness to accept the nomi-
nation for the UHited States Senate.
1t is the same Herbert H. Lehman,
state governor in office and potential
candidate, who ventures to assert in a
public address that:
-. the distribution of public moneys
can destroy individual independence and
group relationships.
There are undoubtedly persons now in
receipt of public assistance who are not
entitled to such assistance :.
However few there be, it is our bounden
duty to see to it that the relief rolls of
our communities are valid and that the
rights of the taxpayer and the local and
state corporate bodies are secure and
protected.
-. we must constantly be on our
guard to guarantee that our operations,
while governed by human consideration,
are definitely related to economic prac-
tices
A thousand other men might have said
these things-and have, in substance
without attracting more than passing at
tention. When an officeholder and can
didate who has, with an honorable eX-
ception Of two, Loyalty supported the
measures of the New Deal says them,
they are surely worth more than casual
notice.

PROSPERITY FOR NO
REASON WHATSOEVER

The stock market has climbed so steep
ly in the last few days that it keeps the
average mind dizzy watching its gyra-
tons. Recognized business lea aders
throughout the United States have, also
in the last few days, set up an almost
unanimous clamor that prosperity is
definitely on the way back-that busi-
ness and industry is on the upgrade,
and that unemployment will decrease
sharply in the next few months.
To our poor minds it is all bit puZ-
zling.
We saw no reason for the so-called
recession that set in last year And now
we are forced to the conclusion that, if
there was any reason for the recession,
there is no reason for the recovery. In
other words, we still believe there was
no real reason for the recession. We've
merely picked up again where We were
a few months ago.
The nations credit structure, insofar
as business and industry is concerned,
has been unimpaired. Even the federal
governments credit structure has not
topped the real danger mark yet. Re-
sources, manpower and instruments OF
production are all at hand, and have been
throughout the recession. We are left
with only one conclusion-that the re-
cession was artificially inspired.
By artificially inspired, we do not nec-
essarily mean Intentionally inspired A
fear-induced psychology, without basis
but nevertheless real, might have brought
on the slump. Now, almost overnight,
the county seems to have awakend to the
fact it has been running from boogey
man.
Whatever the reason for the awaken
ing, the fact that it has arrived is a cheer
full commentary on the great American
trait of common sense-sometimes slow,
but always sure.
