An increasing number Of people,

believe that the case of this young
man is far too typical today. They
say IL represents the severest in
dictmen tof the present so-called
higher education.
Employment officials assembling
not long ago at regional gathering
of personnel associations brought
out the fact that principal reason
why jobs often are not given to
youngsters just out of college is
because their attitude toward EN-
pioyment is such curious one. They
expect to be given fairly large sal
aries and congenial work, yet they
have been on the receiving end of
things. They have been fed, clothed,
and cared for. and have not had to
turn a hand to help their families
or themselves. To many of them it is
shock to learn that as adults they
are expected to stand up and fight
and give value for what they get
Increasing numbers of employers,

theories about life. rather than to
the actualities of living. There is
some good evidence said DR.. Henry

From Waste to Haste
J. z. JONES

Looking back upon the past sew
en- months that Congress was engag-
ed in doing its daily dozens" there
is very little in the way of a salts
factory record of current history.
The great majorities of our citizens
cling to the oId-fashioned belief that
the country's interests should be put
ahead of party politics. That's the
hitch.
During the first six months of the
session the principal interest of
members seemed TO center IN getting
across appropriation bills. and the
selfish desire to get "the share" that
belonged (?D to their State or dis
trict reflected very little to the credit
of the legislative groups.
The wastes are larger tina min pre-
vious years. The New Deal cannot
because the political spoils nave been
divided
Our statesmen have been grabbing
the taxpayers money and spending it
for "cats and dogs" and other fruit
less purchases.
The waste this year has been so
great that, as July passed, there was
impatient haste to adjourn, in order
to evade the responsibility of acting
on several very important measures.

about financial assistance TO self
liquidation" projects. This is a new
substitute scheme to lend Govern
ment money in a way that wouldn't |
show up in the budgets. It's fiimsy !
alibi to cover up wastes.
So far as the row between Con- |
gress and the President is concerned |
the latter got the worst of it in most |
instances. But that's another story.

Where Danger Turks

Everyone must know that the
great power and strength nf the Am

Of friendship and confidence that
have bound the United States. Do
minion of Canada and the Central
and South American Republics in the
bonds of peace. But how easily we
overlook the old truth that a chain
is only as strong as its weakest link.
We know perfectly well that there
are weak links in some of the Latin
American nations
The reader will recall that at one
time this year there was a general
discussion of a proposal for the Uni
ted States to promote. finance and
take an active part in arming all the
LatinAmerican Republics for sol
idarity" and defense on this conti-
nent. The matter was dropped like
a hot potato because of the existence
of reasonable doubts that some of
those Republics could not he counted
on, in a crisis. to fully cooperate.
This was rational reaction in view
of the violations of international law
by Mexico and Bolivia in seizing Am
erican-owned properties. and engag-
ing in open barter trades to feed oil
from the confiscated wells ~ the war
machines of Japan and Germany.
Colonization Is being pushed in
Latin American countries by Old
World nations that have declared
their unfriendliness to democracies.
The war-refIgees of Spain are being
added TO the influx OF population.
The Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean
Sea and the Ease and West coasts
have long offered profitable trade
routes for nations of Europe and
Asia. This has been disturbing to /
the official branches of our own Gov !
while in recent months we
have' been strengthening our own
National defense and preparing to |
protect ourselves against possible |
lggressions. Sets of resolutions such |
as were passed at Lima are INSULT |
,ient to overcome distrust of Latin
leighbOrs who have stabbed Uncle |
Sam in the back repeatedly-for
more than a century-despite the
act that we have carried their de-
'aults OF debts and stood by them as
hey violated their pledges of honor.

Poor Business And
Strikes

New labor strikes. particularly of
WPA workers, are worrying Wash
ington. Congress will not change the
law and therefore workers must
take 1t or leave II"
The legislature of New York State
asked for a voluntary cut in the sal
ary of school teachers. Dynamic Ma
yor LaGuardia thereupon raised the
roof and told the teachers not to
agree to "any voluntary cut in salary
in order to cover the perfidy of poll
tieians" The teachers promptly
agreed with the Mayor.
Business is not good throughout
the country. Why make It worse with
strikes that will increase the diff
culties of our people.
