1t is easily within the realm
of mans intelligence to distrib-
ute the plenty of this sphere SO
that no one will be an agency
of invisible detriment to human
ity's progress in life.
Man is gifted with the ability
to render justice, abundance and
happiness to all. These bibli-
cally termed earthly things" are
to be manifested to furnish the
foundation necessary to advance
to perfect liberty and eternal

believe, how then will you be-
lieve me, if 1 tell you about
heavenly things ?"
Abundance for all is a scien-
tific requisite to mans advance,
and the foundations of the earth
are out of order if the physical
needs of humanity are denied.
Abundance for all is the "ac-
ton of Loving thy neighbor
as myself" Faith without
works is dead and as long as
the above commandment is
transgressed. all are broken.
Every noble effort of religion

In spite of the fact that we

~ of the day is found in the
keynote speech and the other

particularly that the only sal
walton for American democracy
is for the nation to hold fast
to religion.

won't consider economy synony-
NOUS with economics.
Administration men can't do
anything to keep the CLIO from
invading the construction indus
try where it's bound to run head
on into the brick wall erected
by AFL building trades unions.
But they're by no means happy
about the move. They see two
potential consequences which will
be no fun from their point of
view.
One of these, of course, is the
accumulated division in the ranks
of labor. II John l.. Lewis meets
with much success. he'll drive
the AFL farther than ever from
the New Deal. Even If he doesn't,
his invasion is sure TO precipitate
nasty inter-union strikes, accom-
panied quite possibly by blood
shed and disorder. The New Deal
as parent of the unruly CLIO will
get the blame. Its NLRB will
have embarrassing jurisdictional
squabbles to iron out.
A more remote, but perhaps
more important effect of clio
unionization of building trades
workers will be a jump in con-
struction costs. With building
boom as one of their prime hopes
for an economic upturn, the New
Dealers don't like the looks of
that. The construction industry
is already gravely hampered by
excessive labor and financing
costs.
Residential construction, how
ever. is predominantly in the
hands of unorganized labor. II
it's unionized. higher wages viii
have to be paid. The New Deal
ers recognize the need-and SYM
pathize with the plight of the
non-union workers. But they
don't want to see their housing
program nipped in the bud.
The Clio building trades drive
Is the pet project OF John L.
Lewis younger brother, Denny.
He authored it. persuaded the
CIO executive council to under
take 1t and is now chairman Of
the United Construction Workers
organizing committee.
Denny Lewis insists he'll carry
his drive wherever there's de-
mand for 1t, regardless of the
existence of prior AFL unions.
Men familiar with labor affairs
don't take the threat literally.
They're convinced he'll start to
build his organization in the
smaller cities where AFL unions
are virtually non-existent. They
admit, though, that as II grows.
he won't be able to keep out of
the large AFL stronrholds.
There's logic on Denny Lewis
side. According to impartial gov
eminent labor authorities. more
than two-thirds of the construc-
ton industry's workers are nom
union. The CLIO men have begun
to enlist contractors on their side
by offering them freedom from
jurisdictional strikes through
vertical amortization But labor
experts predict few contractors
will dare desert the AFL or hire
workers unfriendly TO il. It's
bound to be q long -drswn-out
and increasingly bitter conflict.

New Dealers over the Roosevelt

History Is Nations
Memory
And Without Memory We
Would Not Grow Up
So What About Date OF
Thankseivine7
Old Time Religion Good
For Democracy
History Is Nation S

THOUGH we have departed
= from many of the traditions
representative of the sturdy
faith of the Pilgrim Fathers
who laid the foundations for an
American democracy, the pro-
posal to change the date of
Thanksgiving doesn't seem to
set very well. Some reasons
why we should hold as near as
possible to what we know to
be the traditional Thanksgiving
date are suggested by an article
by the eminent writer and his.
torian. James Truslow Adams,
in a recent issue of The New
York Times Magazine.
Answering the question, Has
America Come of Age" he
finds that in many respects this
country has reached maturity;
at the time he finds much which
suggests that as nation we are
still in the adolescent period and
inclined to a lop-sided develop
ment. He finds that our best
development has come from pro-
ceding along purely American
lines and that history is a good
teacher.
A saving grace is that
"our roots are striking
deeper into our national
past We even go back
to the aborigines for de-
signs from fabrics, archi-
lecture and pottery, and so
link ourselves to the soil of
day long before the white
man trod upon IT. We have
been developing traditional
social habits and ways of
thinking which set us off
from those of other ma
tions."
Another favorable sign is that
people are reading the history
of our country and the lives of
the great men and women of
the past as they never have be-
fore, in spite of the gulf which
the World war seemed for a
time to have made between our
selves and all that preceded it.
History is a nations memory.
Except for memory we would
never grow up but like an infant
have to start fresh every morn
ing to face our problems.
Throughout the article there
is pointed out the advantages
that have accrued to America
through the memory of history
and the preservation of those
things that are fundamental.
Had not the article been written
before the proposal to change
the date of Thanksgiving was
made, it is quite probable that
the writer would have found
in it one of the evidences of
Americas immaturity.
The first Thanksgiving,
observed by the Plymouth
colony late in the fall of
1921, was much more than
holiday. The proclama-
