but, as said, many writer's recently
have covered the same ground.
Writing Of Socialism in America,
Mr.. Thomas foreshadows the dis
appearance of q Socialist ticket at
the 1910 election. He admits that
the membership of his party has
dwindled enormously in recent
years. but he does not see the
Socialist cause as dead. Instead,
he feels that the task before it is
a great one-it must educate the
people. One feels too much respect
for him to be ironical about this.
One is perfectly sure that he means
1t.
He next suggests that American
Socialists had better throw their
political weight in with a Labor
party and weighs the merits of
any existing body from which such
a party may develop. Plainly he
thinks that John L. Lewis organi-
cation will be the one, as preferred
to the American Federation of Labor.
But he is not ready to commit him
self completely. as things stand at
present. He will await develop
ments, one understands.
The book must command admir-
alton for its absence of bias,
its care to avoid grinding any Ak,
its broad and liberal spirit. What
ever one may think of Mr.. Thomas
party, one must feel, on viewing
this demonstration of his impartial
thinking, that he is q rare person.
But there is a sadness throughout
the work. plainly perceptible. One
doubts that Mr.. Thomas will be
very happy merely spreading edu-
cation, though one is sure that he
will do good job Of it.

TESTING THE AMERICAN PLAN

When there is unusual unempioy.

GUS condition that concerns every
body. 1t puts the buying and selling
basis of the American plan to tests
like those of today. These are not
only economic problems but also hui
man problems of major Importance.
That Is why government leaders and
large and small business men have
been gathering in Washington. The
people of our nation IN every walk OF
life are involved in the existing re.
cession.
The American plan has resulted in
giving the people of the United Stat
es more than any other country. In
the United States there are 17S ra-
dos per thousand persons; in Ger
many 1903; in Italy II. Other coun-
tires are years behind in what we
call chronological progress. They can t
make as good machines as we use;
they are far behind us in inventions
and in scientific achievements. They

certain extent. At least we have more
telephones, electrical appliances and
automobiles than any other people.
In the United States there is an auto
mobile for every four and a half per-
sons; in England for every 20; Ger
many one for 40; Russia one for 479.
1t looks like a good omen that the
first piece of major legislation to be
completed at this session of congress
will make it possible for millions Of
people who never hoped to have hon.

the extension of the American system.
This new act enables the government
to loan so per cent of the cost of

American industry has produced a
standard of living never attained be-
fore by any people in history. Illus

was the automobile industry that led
the procession, by the American plan,
out of the last depression. At this
moment that industry is being re-
garded as the great hope of the gov

DISPELLING THE FOG
By Charles Nicholson

Republican thunder filled the al
on the anniversary Of Lincoln g birth
day. We had speeches from Senator
Nandenberg, potential candidate TO,
the presidency, from Chairman John
Hamilton of the Republican, National
Committee, and various senators
governors, and lesser lights.
With one exception-the speech oil
Governor Aiken of Vermont-it i.
doubtful if anybody who listened t.
those speeches can recall more thar
an empty rumbling of attacks ON Pres
ident Roosevelt and the reiteration Of
threadbare banalities as to the higl
motives, purposes and prospects Of
the minority party.
There was no constructive wore
anywhere. Several of them, including
Senator Vandenberg and Senate
Bridges, of New Hampshire, essayet
the task of writing a Republican plat
form. They numbered the points
eight in the case of the Michigan
senator, ten in the case Of his New
England colleague-and there wa
not a new word or a now thought IL
any of the numbered paragraphs. TIT
Republican principles would seem tt
be limited to being for what every
body else is for and against poverty
unemployment, dictatorship, commun
ism and fascism. The inference was
of course, that the Democratic party
and particularly the Roosevelt admin
istration, stood for all the evils an
none of the beatitudes. That was VIII,
