Occasionally we hear some one
with q pessimistic turn of mind
contend that the world is not getting
any better and that in the past two
or three thousand years it has made
little progress. We do not agree
with the school Of thought. We
think the world Is q great deal bet
ter than 1t used to be and people
ere better than they used to be.
It hasn't been 50 long ago that the
popular form Of amusement was to
send two gladiators into the arena

were killed. This was varied by
sending in starved wild animal to
tear humans to pieces before the
eyes of cheering crowds Of men and
women. Today bigger crowds than
ever witnessed q gladitorial COM
bat gather to see two top notch
baseball teams contest for victory
and In hundred places in the
country great crowds turn out to
football games. The thrills are
every bit as great as they were In
the old gladiator days, and an en-
ttrely different spirit pervades the
event.

TRADING ON TT


With the difficulty arising over

are made aware of the commercial
izing Of almost every holiday that
Americans celebrate. Editors do not
scorn increased business to manu-
facturers and merchants. They, too,
profit from the trade at such times.
But 1t is best to face the fact that
perhaps we have become too COM
mercial for our own good.
Easter and Christmas, our most
religious of days, are greatly COM
mercialized, with Mothers, Memoir

Fourth and Labor Day come in for

A paragraph from Hitler's book
"Mein Kampf" is interesting in that
it defines the policy he has persued
consistently since his rise to power,
He says: can intelligent victor will,
whenever possible, present his de-
mands to the vanquished in INSTALL
ments. He can then be sure that a
nation will no longer find any suf-
ficient reason in each of these de-
tailed expressions to take arms once
more. The more extortions thus
cheerfully accepted, the more I'M
justified does it seem to people
finally to set about defending them
selves against some new, compare
lively isolated although constantly
recurring, oppression" What a
startling clear picture of Hitler's
practice.

Admiral Byrd makes plans to ex-
plore in the Antartic this winter,
hoping to claim new land for the
United States. There will be some
body in Kennewick who will remark
that we have a hard time taking
care of the land we already own.
But we are inclined to receive some
thing if it doesn't cost us too much,
and this looks like we might get
something for practically nothing
except the hardships and great en-
durance of the exploring company
headed by the brave Rear Admiral
Byrd. The fact that a five-gallon
ice cream freezer is an item on the

ARE WE A RACE OF OSTRICHES?
Passing the buck" is a universal
trait of the human race. When a
man loses his job, almost invariably
and instinctively blames his en-
ployer. When the employer himself
is in difficulty he mlabes business

publicans, or some other equally

people turn in retrospect and sur

In spite of rumors and indications
of a war BOOM" private savings
in this country are still about as ac-
tive as a dead dinosaur. And the
savings of the private citizen must
be coaxed out of hiding into the
channels of investment and industry
before there can be any sound pros
perity.
The reasons savings have gone into
hiding are largely political. And the
average politician, like the rest of
us, looks everywhere but at him
self for "cure." He goes into a
bank and sees money stacked on the
counter and concludes that the
banks are unconscionable hoarders.
He challenges" them to supply
money" to the economic system thru
virtually free loans, or else. He for
gets that the banker is hugely an
xious to make loans. That is the
bankers business. But to make loans
there must be borrowers of sound
credit standing. Loans made on any
other basis would be an injustice
to the community which the bank
er serves; would be against the law,
and would violate the trust placed
Ia him by those who own the money.
It Is not the bankers job to sup
ply money; father, it is his first
duty to meet the demands Of the
thrifty for q safe depository, and
second to meet the loan require
ments Of legitimate enterprises. He
should be congratulated upon a job
that, on the whole, has been well
done challenged" to do the

When a farmer has to borrow
money he gives a mortgage on his

make the same sort of deal with

a mortgage on desirable island or

Bond Financing Revival

PITTSBURGH, Nov. ga re-
vival in bond financing and an in
crease in equity security fiotations
around the first of the year, with the
latter largely for expansion purposes
in industry, is predicted by Emmett
F.. Connely of Detroit, president of
the Investment Bankers Associa-
tion of America.
He told a dinner meeting of West
ern Pennsylvania bankers last night
that expansion programs in indus
try were dependent, to ali extent,
upon war orders, which he consid-
cred highly probable"
Mr.. Connely said conservative au-
thorities estimate Americas indus
trial plants need from 25 to 40 bill
lion dollars of capital to make up
for neglected maintenance and re-
placements, adding that "in flnanc-
ing that task of rehabilitating
American industry, there is a great
and constructive job ahead for in
vestment banking
Declaring two things were &C
counting for inactivity in capital
markets, the speaker told the bank
ers that one was the uncertainties
and handicaps faced by business
enterprises which make responsible
nanagements hesitate to undertake
expansion and new activities, and
the other was the trouble and eN-
pense involved for small enter
prise in obtaining its modest capital
needs in the normal manner be-
cause of the involved regulations.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The EN-

The report will be presented to

said, in part:
THE N. A. M. is, and has been,
vigorously opposed to so-called
sweatshop labor conditions, whether
represented by excessively long hours
of employment, or unduly low rates
of pay. However, after the first
year of operation of the Federal
Wage-Hour Law, it is self-evident
that the law needs careful consid-

The report said the law was
poorly drafted" and ambiguous" in
some respects. Suggested changes
included: Exemption of higher
salaried groups from the effect Of
its provisions, greater f1exibiity over
length of hours, removal of restric-
ton of educational opportunities"
offered by the employer and removal
of vagueness over contingent la
