encouragement to the prudent invest
ment advocates.
During recent peace discussions"
between Mr.. Roosevelt and Wendell l..
Willkie, president Of the Commonwealth
and Southern Corporation, which con-
trolls companies the operations of which
are affected by T. v. A. competition, the
latter suggested to the President that
the utilities might accept the prudent
investment theory in return for more
conciliatory attitude on the part Of the
Government. To that end, then, as we'll
as in the field of the difficulties with
P. w. A., the courts decisions have
served to clear the atmosphere and con-
tributed to a better understanding be-
tween the important utilities industry
and the Administration.
Whether this gain will be offset by the
demand Of Senator Morris, Independent,
of Nebraska for an investigation OF the
Tennessee Valley Authority remains to
be seen. There is no doubt that there
has been friction of the most serious ma
ture among the directors of that agency,
and between the Authority and the
power companies. 1t may well be that an
investigation is imperatively needed, but
it will not contribute to the realization
OF an early peace in the utilities war.

Unemployment.

In somewhat the same way that mari
ners must bring their charts up to date
before plotting new courses, those who
attempt to use the findings Of the ma
tional unemployment census as a basis
for administrative or legislative action
must apply certain corrective adjust
ments in order to proceed with safety.
John D. Biggers, administrator of the
voluntary registration, applies two Of
these corrections in the form of allow
ances for the jobless who did not receive
or return the census cards and for those
who recorded themselves as unemployed
but are not properly on the rolls of
out-of-work employables.
An even more important adjustment,
unfortunately, is that made necessary by
economic developments of the six weeks
that have passed since the count was
taken. For reasons which have not clearly
been determined, the country fell into q
business decline in late summer; by mid
November when the mailman was pick
ing up the census cards this decline had
turned into q tailspin of near-record
violence. On the basis Of more recent
estimates Of the Department Of Labor
and the American Federation Of Labor,

Senator Glass.

Born at Lynchburg eighty years ago
today, Carter Glass was endowed by
nature with gifts which are as rare as
they are useful. The background of
his career was the New South, he had
informal but intensely practical school,
ing and began his climb to the heights
of fame in Journalism. BY 1899 he was
q member of the Virginia Senate and in
1901 served in the State Constitutional
Convention. Elected to the House Of
Representatives in 1902, he remained in
the lower branch of the National Legis-
lature until the close of 1918, when Presi-
dent. Wilson appointed him Secretary Of
the Treasury, post of duty to which he
might have returned in 1888 had he been
willing.
Mr.. Glass entered the Senate In No
vember, 1920. There he found the work
destiny appears to have intended him to
do. If the term "elder statesman"
properly may be applied to any charac-
ter, he has deserved 1t. The pattern Of
his mind is definitely mature in the
truest meaning of the phrase. 1t cannot
be explained by the theory of experience.
Something Unborn, something instructive,
fundamental realism is its motive
power. 1t has a parallel in the Stole
philosophers of ancient Greece. Plain
people call it mother wit"-a power to
be rationalistic and logical yet construc-
lively humane.
America needs such force just now.
Mr.. Glass may be merely delegate from
the Old Dominion, but the entire country
looks to him for help in the present con-
fusion. The whole Nation, grateful for
his patriotism, his sanity, his courage,
his fortnight honesty of purpose and his
genius for refusing to be involved in
unworthy compromise, thanks him and
wishes him well on his eightieth BIRTH
day.

close to another million persons must
have lost their Jobs since the voluntary
registration was taken.
Obviously, 1t would be inadequate to
plan unemployment relief for the COM
ing months on the basis of figures which
already are inadequate.
In other respects, such as the geo.
graphic breakdown and the character
Of the recorded unemployment, the in
formation obtained might be extremely
useful. Starting today, a special SEN
ate committee is undertaking what is
apparently comprehensive inquiry into
this phenomenon of recurring business
declines and the accompanying destruc-
ton Of wealth, jobs and individual Sc
curity. From the analysis of the unem-
ployment of last November as compared
with other economic conditions of that
date, valuable deductions may be drawn.
Apparently with this in mind, the
committee has invited Mr.. Biggers to ap-
pear before it, his appearance to be de-
layed until his staff has assembled all
the conclusions properly to be drawn
from their findings.
1t will be effort well expended if the
committee, aided in any degree by the
census results, eventually can formulate
a national program calculated to level off
in some measure the peaks and valleys Of
business activity and recession and the
accompanying effect upon individuals
and the Nation.

Why Initiate Monarchy
In an Alleged Democracy? ?

To the Editor of The Star:
Whence comes this practice of a Presi-
dent of the United States addressing in
person the two Houses Of Congress at
the opening of session Of Congress?
From history we learn that Presidents
Washington and Adams began their ad-
ministrations by addressing Congress in
a speech: but the great Democrat,
Thomas Jefferson. set the example of
addressing Congress in a written message.
Why? Possibly because the address in
person was frowned upon by many of
our forefather patriots as an imitation
of the British practice of opening Parlia-
ment with a speech from the sovereign.
To continue it in the United States was
deemed "monarchical."
Written messages were sent thereafter
to Congress by every President of the
United States until Democratic Presi-
dent resurrected the practice, and now
another Democratic President perpetu-
ates the "monarchicap resurrection.
Modernists of 1888 may be excused
from smiling at this ancient exhibition
this renewed resort to practice of OK
cart Colonial days and Of "deah old
England" before that time.

Anti.Climax.

President Roosevelt devotes the pre-
amble of his message to Congress to the
present-hour world of high tension and
oisorder-a world where stable civiliza-
ton is actually threatened The stage
was set for momentous pronouncement
on that menacing subject. Arrange
ments were perfected to broadcast it
overseas in half-adozen languages. IT
the President had shaken the dome of
the Capitol with a proclamation that
America still believes in the Ten Com
mandments, the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the Bill of Rights, he would
have produced at home and abroad
equally as profound an impression as is
generated by his kid-glove illusions to
the burglarious international situation,
and the United States attitude toward it.
In that respect, Mr.. Roosevelt has
achieved triumph of anti-climax.
Men and women here or in less favored
ners that would make tyranny tremble
and the hearts of its victims beat with
revived hope, are doomed to disappoint-
ment. What fell from the lips of the
leader of the worlds greatest democracy
will move no Japanese soldier out of
China, liberate no creature of Nazi au-
tocracy, unshackle no Fascist serf in
Italy or Spain, help no Rumanian Jew to
escape the terrors of persecution and
exile in the dead of a merciless Balkan
winter. AS an oracular panegyric on the
United States undying dedication to
representative government, in contrast to
the despotic theology under which half
of Europe is living, under which nearly
all of Asia is about to fall, and which is
steadily spreading its tentacles to our
side of the world-on that score Mr..
Roosevelt utters worthy, if neither novel,
nor particularly stirring, sentiments.
But his benediction is as barren of miti-
eating constructiveness as were Mark
Twains weather critics, who were al
ways complaining, but never did any,
thing about it,
The President is on more stimulating
ground when he af1irms, even though
vaguely, this countrys insistence upon
peace by preparedness. He takes legiti-
mate credit for the restraint and civil
lized approach to peace" that recently
prevented war, despite provocations
which, because Of their seriousness, in
other days could well have engendered
it," The world is notified that Ameri-
cans "are resolute in our determination
to respect the rights of others and to
command respect for the rights of our
selves" and that, to this end, I'VE must
keep ourselves adequately strong in
self f-defense."
For those pledges from the President
the Nation is grateful. They do much
to atone for the excessively gentle re-
monstrances addressed to the aggressors,
treaty breakers and international gang
sters who are day by day making the
world unsafe for democracy.

The Presidents Address.

In contrast to the speeches attacking
big business recently delivered by Messrs,
1ckes and Jackson, the address of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to Congress yesterday was
mild IN tone. 1t is so hailed by many
who read or heard it. He has asked for
the cooperation of business and of
labor. He has said that it is impossible
to "conscript" cooperation, which is
somewhat different from the threats i'm
piled in the address of Secretary Ickes,
for example. The President has urged
that business help the Government help
business. All of this has a pleasing
sound after the diatribes and threats of
the earlier spokesmen of the administra-
ton, who made business the target of
their attacks and described business men
as the cause of the business recession.
A careful reading of the Presidents
address, however leaves no doubt that
the President is intent upon moving
along the New Deal lines which have dis
turbed business in the past. 1t is what
the President and the administration
have done and may be expected to do,
rather than mere words spoken either by
the President or his subordinates in the
administration, that have caused the
fear" in the hearts Of capital and busi-
ness men.
1t was expected that the President
would do what he did, seek to single
out small, minority group of big bad
business men and to speak of the great
mass of business men as honest and
well meaning. That is what he did in
his address. But that is not new. In
his speeches before, both to Congress
and on the political stump the President
has insisted that it is only small
minority among the men of business
and finance who are opposed to the
business as whole has considered itself
to be under attack.
Monopolies and monopolistic price
fixing and the other evils that go with
monopoly should be wiped out. The vast
majority Of business men in this coun-
try will agree entirely with the President
in this matter, as will the people gener-
ally. But wiping out monopolies is very
different from the enactment of Federal
legislation to control all business, from
writing on the statute books laws which
tend to increase the cost of everything
that Is produced in this country and
everything which the people must buy.
It Is that kind Of thing, plus the tre-
mendous tax burden which it is expected
to impose, that has worried business and
capital. From those things the speech
Of the President gives no promise of
remittance.

THE hope of psychology that this
avenue OF scientific inquiry may estab-
lish it on firm ground in it's eternal quest
for an understanding of the nature of
experience seems to fade further away
with each new feat of brain surgery
What has included the function of a
whole system in it's possibility now finds
it's focus restricted to a small area of
that system for physiological explana-
ton which will be consistent with the
apparent function of structure.
If the structural parallel for func-
ton in the brain is wiped out for the
world Of mental phenomena many will
be attracted by the organismic descrip-
ton which has been borrowed from the
biologist. The amoeba reacts as living
protoplasm, apparently accomplishing it's
necessary ends independent of discrete
systems in function. Theorists holding
such views as mass action will be quick
to see in them the biological explanation
of mind. But when pushed to their
foundations these doctrines retreat to
the realm Of theoretical physics and then
to metaphysics.

ton of more stumbling blocks equally as

MANY scholars have felt that postu-

analysis and hobbled scientific inquiry.
But the collapse of current mechanistic
explanations of experience may cause

based upon such theoretical construct

analysis as one erected upon mind seems

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES &. TRACEWELL.
Sensitive persons always must be on
their guard against attributing wrong

Sensitive persons always must be on
their guard against attr1buting wrong
motives to other people.
One of the commonest mistakes is to
think an acquaintance Is refusing to see
or speak to one, when all the fellow is
doing is being very busy.
Being very busy, with some folks. takes
all their energies. both of mind and body.
If they are not exactly single tracked.
as the saying has it, at least they cannot
smile at others wflen going in given
direction.
This intense concentration may or may
not be a laudatory thing.a
Since nothing succeeds like success,
If it leads to anything, it must be labeled
successful; but II it gets no particular
place, it must be regarded as discourtesy,
at the least.
There are many such breaches of eti-
quette in the everyday life. most OF
them based on simple thoughtlessness,
in turn based or perhaps too con-
centrated attention on nothing much.
In self-help restaurants, for instance,
no one is commoner than the wight who
unloads his own tray then deliberately
places it over under the nose of some
fellow consumer he does not know.
Evidently it requires all his concen-
trated energies to select and carry q
meal.
BY the time that heavy work is over,
he is too occupied to give q courteous
thought to another.
That any person might resent a dirty
tray or dishes being placed before him
while eating does not seem to occur to
him; he blithely goes right ahead with
his bit of thoughtlessness as if he were
doing the other party some sort Of
favor.
No doubt he would be the most sur
prlsed person in the world If he were
suddenly "bawled out" in the traditional
American manner.
Such structures. in their turn, would
be regarded as the highest discourtesy.
and would Immediately cancel out the
other; indeed, if automobile manners
were to be considered as standard, the
injured party at once would be put in
the role of offender.
Most people who pass the sensitive
person, now and then, without a word,
are found to be. on calm inspection.
simply persons who are using all their
minds and energies for the task in hand.
This SO worries them that they actually
fail to see others.
This may or may not be good While
on the surface 1t appears to be forceful
concentration. at bottom 1t may denote
that the work in hand is almost too
much for the person concerned.
So fear enters.
AS long as 1t does not become too
great, ordinary everyday fear is not bad.
If it prods one on to ones best, it has
its good side.
The bad side of fear is very we'll
known.
1t is realized even when it is not re-
garded. Few persons, striding busily by
comrade without speaking, would ad-
init that fear had anything to do with it..
Yet it may be believed, in their inter-
est, that fear of ultimate consequences

brain?
For some years now surgeons have
been cutting out big chunks OF 1t and
finding that it makes no particular
difference.
The evidence was summarized before
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science here by DR.. Will
liam H. Thompson, psychologist OF the
University of Omaha.
Practically the whole top Of the brain.
he stressed, has been excised, bit here
and a bit there, without any serious
mental effects Only two bits seem to
be vital to intellectual life. II an artery
carrying blood to the left frontal por-
ton is injured the victim loses con-
sciousness and never regains it. If an
area near the junction of the temporal
and left frontal lobes-the so-called
Brocas area-is removed below a depth
Of 2 centimeters the individual never
can talk again. Otherwise even the
blindness, deafness and paralysis result
ing from certain forms Of brain opera
tions do not seem to be strictly localized,
DR.. Thompson said.
1.-THE age-old problem Of the mind

new turn" DR.. Thompson said, If the
conclusions of modern surgery are sus-
tained by further research. The doc
trine of specific neurological patterns

sponse has suffered serious reverses with
each assault upon the theory Of brain
localization. With it's demise should 60
many of the cherished speculations Of

basic assumptions sinking into the limbo
of the historical past.
1T the left anterior artery OF the
cerebral hemisphere is definitely estab-
hshed by surgery as the sine qua non
Of what has been understood OF con-
sciousness or mind, we may ask II the
world of mental events has its real de-
pendence on circulation phenomena. Is
this the bridge between the shadowy
world Of thought and experience and
actual physical processes? Is the
nervous system only primarily motor In
its service to the whole organism? Is
the nervous system merely subsidiary IN
the whole balance Of affairs during the
fractional picture at level which have
been described as higher?
1T is fair to challenge the assump-
ton of a world of mental events which
have a causal relationship to objective
behavior on the grounds that there is
now no satisfactory scientific evidence
that is able to substitute an UNDER
standable explanation. Science has
predicated that the simplest explana-
ton which Is consistent with all the
known facts should be accepted. In
the field of behavior scientific men have
depended on neurological theory rather
than metaphysical speculation for OBJ
vious reasons. The present situation in
dicates necessity for revaluation of
the facts. Psycho-physical parallelism
and interactionism must be re-edited In
