THE CIVILIANS
ALWAYS SUFFER

The major powers of the world, espe-
cially the major democratic powers, are
today engaged in looking with horror at
japanese air raids on Canton, where
thousands of civilians have died under
japanese bombs. Great Britain, France,
the United States and other nations are
studying ways and means of doing the
mpossible-protecting the civilians from
suffering in case of war.
Somehow or other the democratic dip
lomats Of the world seem to remain naive
little boys when war is mentioned. Cen
turies Of learning have not taught them
that there is a synonym for war, and
that synonym is horror. All history
has taught the lesson, and Spain and
Japan are teaching it again today. When
there is war, everybody suffers.
Thousands of civilians may die in Can
ton, horribly mangled by bomb frag-
ments or pinned beneath wrecked build
ings-but is that any worse than slow
starvation of hundreds of families in
other parts of China, where war has
destroyed the crops and ruined the food
supplies? Is it worse for a mother to
hold her childS torn body in her arms
and weep over it in a sudden SpaSm of
grief than it is for her to see him slowly
die because she cannot feed him? Or is
it worse for a father to lose his daughter
in a wrecked building than it is for him
to lose his son on the battlefield?
The war-makers of the world paint
armed conflict as a glorious thing, and
to color their painting they have provid-
ed drums and bugles and gaily hued
bunting. But try as they will they cam
not drown out the groans of the wound
ed, nor cover up the gaping wound left
in civilizations side by the explosion of
war.
War is a drab, horrible demonstra-
tion of the inability of men to settle
their differences by the use of intelli-
ence. Just as there is no victor in war,
so is there none who escapes suffering,
whether he be civilian or soldier.

NEW JERSEYS
LABOR LAW

(Nall Street JOurnaD
When the head of state Federation
OF Labor and prominent executive of
the Chamber of Commerce of the largest
city in the state endorse a labor bill. it
must have quite a lot to recommend it.
Such measure is before the assembly of
New Jersey.
Shortly after the National Labor Rela-
tons Act was put into effect there was a
wave of state enactments along similar
lines. Most of these little Wagner acts
repeated the mistakes of the parent meas
ure, however, and so have been in general
of little help in actually lessening indus
trial disputes. The New Jersey measure
in part avoids this error. Among other
things, the present proposal prohibits two
acts, each of which has bred charges
which capital and labor have angrily
hurled at one another. Thus, on the one
hand, the bill specifically prohibits sit
down and stay-in STRIKES and provides Sc
we're penalties for violation of this proyi-
sion. On the other hand, unfair prac-
tees are listed. Among them is black
listing of union members and the use of
spies.
Unfortunately, however. there does
not appear to be any more provision for
separating the functions of prosecutor
ana Judge IN the Jersey measure than
there is in the national act There is a
great opportunity for some state to make
that separation and so avoid what is the
basic difficulty with the Wagner Act
at present. We have 4S possible labor
atories in which to try this modification,
which is less an experiment than the cor
rection of an obvious flaw in these labor
laws. , 1t would be we'll if one of them
actually divided the functions of its la
Dor board Why not New Jersey.

DON'T GET THINGS GOING

CONGRESS WONT
DELAY ADJOURNMENT

Almost every year congressional lead
ers set tentative date for adjournment,
and then congress continues in session
a week or a month after the tentative
date. This year the day has been set for
next Saturday-and any delay will be
less than a day or two.
Reasons congress won't delay ad-
journment this year are manifold, but
the paramount one is politics. A lot
of the senators and representatives are
facing primary electiOns-and they don't
want to be in Washington when the cam
paign starts. Second major reason is
that, after the Iowa primary, the New
Deal doesn't want a major congressional
test for a few weeks.
Congress probably will go home Satur-
day or couple of days later-and the
nation can turn its serious attention to
business. baseball and elections.

TAXES CUT INTO
" AGE FUND

(San francisco ChrOnicle)
Telephone users We're taken aback a
few weeks ago to discover, from the
annual report of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company, that their tele-
phone bills for last year included, on
the average, 1921 in taxes. Each tele-
phone subscriber paid that much, on the
average, in taxes last year Another
startling item was that the company paid
out in taxes S525 for each of its employees,
Just that much less in the pot from
which wages are paid.
This sort Of thing is by no means con-
fined to the telephone industry. The
great steel industry last year, accord
ing to the Iron and Steel Institute. paid
out in taxes a sum equal to $3.50 for
each of its $4,000 wage earning en-
ployes, total equivalent to years pay
for i09,0 900 workers.

that they are, therefore, RESPONSE

But there is another side to it.
At a recent meeting of the Anne

adelphia, Prof. Leo Wolman of
Columbia University showed how
technological prograss can prevent
unemployment at the same time
that it causes it.
The three American industries
which have undergone the least
technological changes since the
World War, said Prof. Wolman,
are coal mining, building construc-
ton and railroading. That means,
III simpler language, that there
has been less displacement of men
by machinery in these industries
than in any others.
Yet it was precisely these three
Industries, he continued, which re
covered the least between the
depth of the depression and the
peak of recovery last year; it was
also these three industries which
suffered the greatest unemploy-
ment during that same period.
All of which compels one of re-

Pat Harrison
He Restraints Self

WASHINGTON. - Although the
Presidents speech III mingled praise
and criticism of the tax bill sufficed
to bring wrathful retort from Sen-
ator Pat Harrison, F. d, r. managed
to restrain himself from adopting
one Recommendation of certain
-trusters which would have re-

The President would have pro-
posed to Congress, under this plan,
that it promptly pass q new bill
which would have exempted more
than 80 per cent of all corpora
tionS-the little fellows from tax.
Some members of the pump
printing school of advisers, sus-
pecting that the present spending
lending program might not be
enough to stimulate business APP
preciably, had figured that the gov
ernment could afford to throw a
couple of hundred million dollars
into the pot even if it meant in
creasing next fiscal years deficit
by that amount as a result Of a
corresponding cut in the tax bur-
den. They suggested that all cor
poration net incomes of less than
$4,000 or some nearby figure-be
declared exempt.
Influential brain-trusters who
conceived and quietly promoted the
plan were sure it would stimulate
business and unemployment, that
relieved small business men would
ioyfully spend or invest the money
saved.
But especially did they lick their
chops with Machiavelian anticipa-
ton as they considered the political
possibilities. With the vast majority

Of these men have never dealt with
people before and know nothing
about the art of handling people.
So the company has set of rules
for its drivers to follow.
They are so splendid that l am
copying down ten of them to pass
along to you. Here they are:
l. DO not smoke in the presence
of a customer.
2. Use the sidewalk when you
approach a customers house. Do
not walk across his lawn. He may
like his lawn
3. If directed by a sign to deliver
at the rear door, never go to the
front door.
4. When you arrive at a GUS
toners house, don't be impatient.
Ring gently, speak gently. That
makes q favorable impression on
the customer.
5. When someone comes to the
door, lift your cap. It's manners
and good policy.
6. When you have a C o d
package. name the amount in
low voice Neighbors have prying
ears.
T. When you hand a package to
customer, turn it SO that the
label faces him. Think in terms
of the person you are trying ID
serve.
8. Don't argue with the Gus
toner even though you know she
is wrong and you are right. Don't
argue even when the customer
makes a singing remark. You are
there to please, not to provoke.
9. Be willing to do something
for the customer that you are not
called upon to do. For instance,
if she asks you to move a piece Of
furniture for her, do it-and cheer
fully.
TO- If you are asked to come in
side the house, or apartment, re-
move your cap. Courtesy costs
nothing and yields big dividends.
These little touches of courtesy
cost nothing, but they mean much
to the customer.
