belief in a world economy as
means of making autarchy un-
necessary is still dominant.
President Roosevelt or Secretary
Hull can make the answer for the
world and enlighten peoples every
where as to the merit or Gemerit of
Hitler's argument. And if in such an
address acknowledgment of the error
of allied policy and sincere pro-
fession of friendship for the Ger
man people were made, together
with an offer of a practical plan to
apply the processes of reason, the
world would back up such plea
with more enthusiasm than it has
ever backed up the winning of a
military battle. For it would mean
the beginning of the triumph of a
democratic process Of reason-open
debate of the issues by spokesmen
of governments.

of their insurance departments. In
nine more states the voluntary hos
pital insurance plans are operating
without the acts.
New York was the first to encour-
age the movement by passing enab-
ling legislation in 1884. Since then
marked progress has been made. Adj
ditions of 1889 include Maine, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Iowa, Ohio,
New Mexico and Vermont. Other
states with the permissive laws are
Alabama, California, Illinois, Missis-
sippi, Georgia, Maryland, Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and
New Jersey.
Approximately 60 different hospital
service plans are operating in "a
states, it is reported The plans at
present include more than 100000
subscribers who are guaranteed a GER
tain number of days of hospital care
for monthly contributions ranging
from SO cents to $100 per person.
Although varying in detail, the
plans under state laws provide for a
joint guarantee of service by local
member hospitals. The number of
hospitals in each plan ranges from
one in Kingsport, Tenn, to more than
300 in New York City.

FRIDAY, AUGUST IL, 1889.
WHAT is STOPPING US?

This is the tenth year of unemploy
ment. Three months from now viii
mark the anniversary of the 1925
crash And the American Fedora
tion of Labor states that unemploy.
ment is still measured by about
10,40O,OOO.
In this an Act of God? Doubtless
there are those, of old theological
persuasions, who sincerely think that
is the meaning.
But when skilled workers see idle
and depreciating machinery standing
in closed factories; see SO per cent OF
the installed machinery in great in.
dustries useless and unused for q
decade; see over 100000 new young
workers come onto the scene every
year with no adequate or secure en-
ployment for them and the families
they ought to be raising there is
liable to be something of challenge
to the old faiths.
Science has taught the last genera
ton or two quite abiding faith in
the general reasonableness of things.
We believe that as long as the sea-
sons come and go in their regularity
and the laws of nature hold gravi-
tation in place, things which have a
useful and reasonable function ought
to be able to go on.
The query is becoming pretty in
sistent: What is stopping us from
using the things we have made, to
produce the things which we need?
When the answer to that question
becomes clear, it behooves those who
have furnished the stopper to keep
out of sight for a while.

Cool OFF : And Ride

Hamilton followed Cincinnati be-

while-you-ride plan," Joseph M. Bow
man, superintendent of the Hamilton
City Bus Lines, announced.
But, Hamilton will go Cincinnati
one better in having radios on busses
designated by "cool-off" signs. Bow
man said the fare would be upped
from 5 cents to 10 cents for the spe-
cial cool-off tickets and they will be
good for four hours, to II o'clock
each night throughout the rest of the
summer.
The tickets will be good on all
busses but only busses marked with
'cool- off" signs will be equipped with
radios.

"Unionism is beginning to take

aminations Monday and the $4,000

workers already have been examined.
''The examinations are being made
in cooperation with the Department
of Health and the w. P. A., which
have made study of some 10000
persons on home relief, in the civil

the most practical kind of interest in
