~ JAMES PREsToN

Congress has gone home now,
bag and baggage, so those who
make a career Of specializing on
matters political are turning
their eyes away from Washing
ton to find subjects for discus
sion. But all the discussion is
still influenced by what hap
pened in the national capital
before the boys packed up and
left.
One question looms large in
the minds of both the public
and political commentators:
How substantially will Congress
Sional action last session help
business recovery?
Critics of industry got in the
first lick by claiming that Con-
gress had accepted industry's
challenge" by making what leg
iSlative changes and reforms it
did accomplish, and that now
responsibility for complete and
hasty recovery rests squarely on
the shoulders of business.
If this argument was supposed
to make an impression, it
missed fire rather badly. It was
too easy to see the flaw in the
argument that, after ten years
of experimentation and tinker
ing with the economic machin-
cry of the country ON the part
of the politicians, industry
should take heart the moment
that signs of a change for the
better made their appearance.
Business knows, from experience
painfully gained, that a lot re-
mains to be done to put things
back in good running order.
Congress has a lot more con-
structive work ahead of it next
session if it really wants to be
helpful.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1939-08-24

Meantime, however, all indi-
cations are that business man
agement is moving ahead to the
best of its ability, grateful for
the encouragement that the
Senators and Representatives
have afforded by their actions
and attitudes. Among the things
that are most heartening to in
dustry, and that came out of
this years Washington legiSla-
tive mill, the defeat of the
spending bill, the tax %revisions
incorporated in the Revenue
Act of 1889, and social security
reforms may be listed as out
standing.
The collapse of the vast ON
nibus spend-lend white rabbit"
was cheering to business because
it served as an indication that
Congress no longer intends to
run down the road with every
spending program that is sug-
gested. Business, which bears so
large a part of the nations tax
burden, hopes fervently that
this particular action by Con-
gress is the herald of a real
economy drive at the following
session.
The tax %revisions made this
year were not all that business
had hoped, but they were a step
in the right direction. And the
amendments in social security
requirements followed fairly
closely suggestions made by
business long before the original
bill was drafted, seemingly in
dicating that, in matters which
touch business so closely, the
lawmakers might save many un-
fortunate errors If they listened

we get chided for leaving out some Of the sensational details
even when we cant seem to find any basis in tact tor them.
The work OF the recreation staff in Hardin ends this week.

1t is, of course, evident to all
unbiased observers that the
failure of Congress to amend
the Wagner Labor Relations
Act, in spite of overwhelming
public opinion favoring such
changes, was a blow both to the
democratic process and to in
dustrial prosperity. To be sure,
a committee has been appointed
to investigate the Board itself,
but this investigation, while
important, does not remove the
drawbacks of employment in
volved in the defects of the
Wagner Act itself.
When the significance of the
steps taken in Washington last
session are really thus placed
clearly in perspective, it is easy
to see how absurd are the claims
of those who are screaming a
challenge to business, ordering

What confuses the spectators
is this: Business is expected to

COINCIDENCE NOTE: The
printed volume of the 1910 fed
eral budget weighs four pounds,
seven ounces. That volume rep
resents what the administration
is asking for to run the govern
ment for a year. The printed
volume of the Federal tax laws,
which represents what the gov
eminent collects to run the gov
eminent for a year, weighs only
three pounds, one ounce.
Coincidentally, that is just
about the difference between
the amount of money collected
and the amount spent.

WHAT is OUR FOREIGN POLIcYl


Appeals from American citizens to
Keep us out of war are flooding the
mails of Senators and Represents
tiyes.
what is our foreign policy?" This
is the big question for which answers
are sought ON Capitol Hill, as well as
in the Capitals of the World. The
answer seems to be obscure, and puz-
zling.
George Washington warned his
countrymen that "'tis our true policy
to steer clear of permanent alliances
with any portion of the foreign
world" Jefferson advised "entang-
Eng alliances with nome" Today's
makers OF our foreign policy cannot
ignore those historic commitments.
James Monroe, the fifth President,
laid down the Doctrine to which the
United States continues to commit
itself on every possible occasion.
Government was new on this con-
tinent in MonrOe's time. The Elders
of those days, believing that DEM
ocracy would grow up respectfully,
resolved to protect and nonrish their
ideals on the Western Hemisphere.
Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia
and the Caribbean countries recOg-
nize the value of close trade and
commercial relationships with the
United States. But this is not yet
unanimous, and much remains to be
done. No one, for example, ever
dreamed that changes of the years
would convert Argentina to European
dollar-diplomacy. or that Mexico and
Bolivia would be outstanding as the
black sheep of the fiOC'y.
For more than a century while our
nation grew great. the constructive
foreign policy of our fOrefathers was
expressed in three main detectives,
namely, to eschew European bicker-
iHgs and entangling alliances, TO en-
courage and advance cultural and
trade relationships with the young
Lations of the Western World, and to
encourage respect for human and
rights, treaties and ecOnOm-
ic obligations.
Then came the World War which
us in Europe's perennial
quarrel. In time our strong nation
freed itself of the Old Worlds en-
tangling alliances and with fresh
\ igor renewed its efforts to strength

slips between the republics of the
New World.
Today the European call for help
rings afresh in our ears, Will the

RADIANT LIVING
PROTECTED BY LIGHT
BY Rev. G, NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely NJ. e. Church
Ridgeiy, Md.

Light assures one of safety. Grim
inals operate mostly at night, under
the cover of darkness. But light de-
stroys the shield of darkness behind
which they perpetrate their evil
deeds.
Keep yourself surrounded by light
and you will be safe, especially so
spiritually. The missions of Satan
can not approach the Light of God.
Let me therefore keep in the bright
ness of Divine Radiancy and i shall
be safe.
When the World War aces were
surprised by the sudden appearance
of an enemy plane, they quickly
turned directly toward the sun and
were lost to view in the binding
glare. They then turned and at
tackled
Comrade, should the enemy of
your soul be pressing hard, fly di-
tectly Godward by prayer and you
will find not only protection but also
opportunity to turn and attack.
Satan loses his opportunity to at
tack a soul which becomes hidden in
the Light of God
In closing his Epistle to the Ro-
mans, the Apostle Paul says: "The
night is far spent. the day is at
hand, let us therefore cast off the
works of darkness and let us put on
the armour of light"
Thank God for that armour, the
Armour of Light!
