THE WORLD TAKES ORDERS

Plans for the settlement of German Jews in At
rlcan and Central American countries seem some
what impracticable and may be abandoned. Ex-
pense of transportation would be enormous and
that of establishing homes and teaching the colo
nists how to cultivate the soil would be equally so.
The dangers of the new climate would have to be
reckoned with and disease no doubt would destroy
many lives. Such colonization might be destruc-
tive though not so cruel, as Nazi tyranny.
Yet the problem of relief for these unfortunate
Jewish people is one that demands solution The

people of their wealth. destroy their business and

NECR0MANCY AND.
MESMERISM TOPIC OF
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

"Ancient and Modern Necrom-
ancy, Alias Mesmerism and Hyp-
notism, Denounced" was the sub.
ject of the lesson-sermon in all
Christian Science churches and So
cieties on Sunday.
The golden text was from Ro-
mans S:31, "If God be for US,
who can be against u.s."
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon was the
following from the Bible: "Come,
We children, hearken unto ME; /
will teach you the fear of the
Lord. What man is he that desir-
eth life, and loveth many days,
that he may see good? Keep thy
tongue from evil, and thy lips
from speaking guile. Depart from
evil, and do good; seek peace, and
pursuit it, The eyes of the Lord
are upon the righteous, and his
ears are open unto their cry. The
righteous cry, and the Lord hear
eth, and. delivereth them out of all
their troubles. Many are the af-
flictions of the righteous: but the
Lord delivereth him out of them
all" FPS. 34:11-15, 17,19).
The lesson-sermon also included
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook. "Sci-
ence and Health with Kew to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy
EVIL is negation, because it is
the absence of truth. 1t is moth
ing, because it is the absence of
something. 1t is unreal, because
it presupposes the absence of God
the omnipotent and omnipresent
Every mortal must learn that
there is neither power nor reality
in evil. Evil is self-assertive. Il
says; I am a real entity, over
mastering good.' This faisehood
should strip evil of all pretensions

one. 1t seems that then-in 1882
we were in a depression because
the banks would not lend money.
This was the explanation given
me by the wizards in Washington.
While it seemed rather terrible
to have the government supply
money to the Vans to pay off loans
TO the Morgans, the profound idea
behind it was that this would put
money in the bankers purse; in
deed all the R. F. c. loans were
achieving that end, and then pres
emily the bankers would have SO
much money it would be burning
a hole in their pockets. End they
would start lending it.
The folly of that must be ap-
parent by now. The banks have
had billions poured into their
pockets, but they haven't started
lending yet-the pockets remain
unburned. ....
|, When the r. F. G. raid taxes
and rentals for other roads, I was
told this was helping cities and
states in trouble. The folly of that
MI st also be apparent now.
(, The whole truth is that the gov
erriment not only has no policy
about the roads, but it refuses to
even think seriously about it.
sin fe 1881 the desperate charac-
teri of this problem has been ap-
PARENT.
But as far as the government
has gotten is to dole out a few
dollars every time one of these
ragged vagabonds comes around
looking for a handout, thus pro-
lonsing the agony, while the roads
sink to new levels of distress.
Had there been a courageous
facing of the. problem in 1888
when that was possible the roads
would be on their way to health
now.

NEW YORK.-There probably
L> never has been "a country
which had more problems than
this one. That is understand
able. But what is not understand
able is that there should be 50
many problems, pressing prob
lens, about which the country has
no policy.
Take the railroads. A modern
American railroad might itself be
defined as a collection of prob
lens. But the government hasn't
semblance of a policy respecting
them.
q Here is one consequence of that,
The Delaware, Lackawanna g.
Hudson Railroad, like many an
other, cannot make enough money
to pay its taxes to the state of
New Jersey or the city of Buffalo.
SO 1t asks the Reconstruction
finance Corporation to lend it the
money. ~
This sort of thing has gone on
since the R. F. c. was formed by
Hoover. Railroads have borrowed
millions to pax taxes to states and
CITIES. They have borrowed mil
lions to pay rents on real estate.
They have borrowed money to pay
the rentals of roads they were
operating. And the R. F. C. has
accommodated them apparently
whenever they have needed this
help.
They have borrowed millions
to pay interest on bonds and
notes, ofttimes to bankers.
I recall protesting against this
when the R. F. c. was first
organized. The Van Sweringens

RECORD OF THE PAST is REASON
- FOR OPTIMISM
(By BRUCE CATION


Lnless all signs fail, America is taking
a new climb out of the depression. Indus
trial production expanded in October for
the fifth consecutive month, unemployment
figures are dropping rapidly, and business
sentiment as whole is unusually optl-
miStic.
No one knows, of course, how far and
how fast this climb will be continued. We
shan't be able to say gOodby to this depres-
sion until our business indices have reached
the 1929 level: indeed, because our popu-
lafion is greater now than it was then, that
lexel will have to be surpassed before we
can truly say that nationwide prosperity is
here again. - .... .,-.:'
Past experience may not be a perfect
guide, in a world so changed as the world
Of today Yet it is the only guide we have,
and it has rather encouraging message.
During the last half century American
business has been hit by five full-dress de-
preSsions- including the present one. AT
ter eacd of the other four, industry and
trade climbed to higher level than the
one they had occupied before, and the gen
eral living standard of the American peo-
pie went up with them. And the most en-
couraging thing is the fact. that although
each of these climbs took place during a
period of chronological improvement
which is supposed to mean percentage
decline in the number of jobs-the work
ing population of the country actually in
creased faster than the total population.
This is made clear in figures contained
in bulletin just issued by the Central Ma
tional Bank of Cleveland.
For example: from 1890 to 1880, the
country's population increased 95 per cent
from 100000 to 123,0O0,000. Yet the
number of jobs increased by 113 per cent
in the same period-from 23,O00,0OO in
1890 to 100000 in 1880.
To look at it from different angle
between 1890 and 1900, American business
created 100000 new jobs: between 1900
and 1910, it created 100000 new jobs;
between 1910 and 1920, it created 4,0OO,-
900 new jobs; between 1920 and 1880 it
created 100000 new Jobs. ~..
Where does that leave us? Well, the
banks bulletin goes on to remark that our
highest standard of living heretofore came
when there were about 40 jobs for each
100 of the population Our population to,
day is 13O,O0O,OOO; we need, therefore
approximately 52,O0O,0OO jobs. Today
about 45,OOO,OOO people are regularly EN-
ployed. There is, accordingly, lag Of
some 100000 jobs to be made up.
Past experience indicates that that is b!
no means an impossible hurdle In the. or
dinary, normal course of business develop
ment we ought to get over it withou
strain, When you stop to think that ou
industrial and commercial plant is operat
ing far below capacity, you can see tha
one or two years of continued expansion
might do the trick very nicely. e-

They now have a more plausible excuse than they ever before possessed. We have had our warning We know what their designs are.

IF WAR COMES
Chicago Tribune

This is the time for Americans to think calmly and formulate in their own minds what the pol icy of this country should be ii the war of 1914-18 is resumed in Europe in 1888.
 The experience of 1914 teaches that after the fighting begins it is difficult to think clearly and objectively. Remote as we were from the conflict, passions were aroused, racial prejudices sway ed judgement, economic interests made themselves felt.
 Our whole concern in this crisis must be to preserve our liberties. The nations which go to war will lose theirs whether they win or lose the war. Nothing which may be at stake in Flu rope can be worth the sacrifice of liberty in America. Americafis must remain free men for their own sakes and no less to serve as an example of freedom to the rest of the world. -.
 Now the greatest threat of all confronts the country: the threat that the world crisis will be us- ed as an excuse to impose an ex- ecutive tyranny upon the nation through the mobilization of all it's men and all it's resources. We must expect to be told that, in view of the emergency, the gov ernment must be given greater powers than any govrnment this
