WHAT THE SCHOOLS
MEAN TO you
This is Public Schools Week.

This is Public Schools eek.
Maybe il doesn't interest you, because
you haven't any children:
You might as well say the war IN Eu-
rope doesn't interest you because you
aren't up there al the front pumping
rifle bullets at somebody you've never
seen before.
Or YOU might as well say that the sun
shine doesn't interest you because YOU
don't own any sunbeams.
The fact is that education Is about
the most universally vital thing III the
world today More vital than war, be-
cause proper education Will mean even
tual peace. More vital than government,
because without education there coulo
be no dependable government. Just as
vital as civilizations for education Is civil
Hation.
If those things-war and peace. gov
ernment and civilization-mean nothing
to YOU, then YOU need not be interested
in Public Schools Week. If they do mean
something to you, then so should Pubic
Schools Week, for il IS manifestation OF
the educational processes.
1t is vital to you, and to every one OF
us, to know whether our schools are
teaching our young people to think, or
merely to repeat rituals of secondhand
knowledge. True education is impart-
ing the ability to think. Are the schools
doing that today?
AS we'll as they can, yes. And a lot
better than they did ten or twenty years
ago But they've still long way to CO.
and it is the job of the public-you and
Ito help them along. The teachers can
not do the whole Job themselves, any
more than they can reach into the home
and take charge of the entire upbringing
of a child.
Education is not a job entirely for the
schools 1t is job for everyone who
comes into contact with young people.
Upon teachers and parents rests the
largest responsibility, but upon all Of
US rests some responsibility.
How can We discharge that response
bility without knowing what the schools
are doing? How can parents know the
probable thoughts of their children, and
the reason for some of their actions, if
they do not know what goes on at school?
Public Schools Week furnishes
ready-made opportunity to find out.
Don't miss it.

ANTl-PICKETING LAWS
AREN'T NEEDED, ANYWAY

We see no reason for weeping and vail
ing and gnashing of teeth over the United
States supreme court decision holding
anti pcketing laws unconstitutional
Perhaps in the light Of sober thought
the decision was well founded in the IN
terest of freedom of speech. freedom Of
assembly and personal liberty.
Of course it is true that plcketng
usually leads to violence in extremely bit
ter labor disputes. We believe picketing
is not usually justified, and works in
the long run to the detriment of the labor
organization using it.
But We do not believe anti-plcketing
laws are necessary to punish violence.
Imperial county. and all other counties,
have ordinances against disturbing the
peace and against trespassing. These
ordinances should be sufficient to punish
those who overstep the bounds of peace
full picketing and resort to violence.
Enforced to the hilt peace disturbance
and trespassing ordinances will accom-
plish all that any sanely drawn anti
picketing ordinance could do
The law still has the right to protect
private property-and it should oon-
tinue to do so.

AMERICA
THE FINAL HOPE

(Alfred Edwards, MP, in the NortE-
Eastern Gazette. MiddeSbrough. Eng)
In America lies the final hope of this
country and democracy, and it is no less
true that the hope of America lies III
Britain.
Anybody who really understands AM
erica knows that. despite a noticeable
similarity in language, the American
mental makeup is radically different
from ours Again, anybody who under
stands American politics knows that
with the presidential election Immediate
iy ahead no political leader dare risk an
election issue turning upon the chance
of America being led, persuaded. or fore
ed into war.
Those of us who have studied PreSi-
dent Roosevelts speeches see IN them
the fullest sympathy for the Allies and
the Allied cause and the way of wisdom
for us is surely to allow the President
to develop his own thoughts III his own
way and in his own good time.
Moreover. it is at least moot point
whether it would really be to our adj
vantage if America became an active bel
ligerent found the opinion of influen-
tial Americans overwhelmingly in favor
OF Britain. lheN talk OF the war dS II
it were their war.
If America came in as Il bclllgcrent
she would, of course, Immediately mobll-
Ze her resources to meet the needs OF
her own army and our supplies would
be stopped at time when they were
most vital to us.
The course of wisdom is surely to leave
America free to work out her problem
in her own way If it be right and wise,
as believe it is, that We should do to
others as we would have them do to us,
then We can lose nothing by leaving Am
erica free to help the cause OF democracy
in whatever way she thinks best.

MACHINERY WON'T DO IT
(Wall Street JournaD

Returning to the subject of access OF
small business units to the capital mar
ket-or lack of such acceSs-Chalrman
Jerome Frank of the Securities 4 En-
change Commission writes Representa-
tive Mccormack that the cost of regis
tration of small issues with the SEC Is
no serious obstacle to their flotatlOn and
that bankers marketing commissions,
though more serious deterrent. cannot
be reduced enough to solve the problem.
Then he concludes:
If we want to reduce the cost OF flo
tation of small issues significantly and
what may be more important, II we want
to create a fairly large and reliable mar
ket for such issues. we shall have to con-
struct new machinery expressly design
ed to meet the needs of small business
enterprises for long-term capital. partl-
cularly in equity form.
More "machinery" won't do it. We long
ago provided machinery for providing
small business with loan capital in the
RFC and in special powers for the Fed
eral Reserve banks, with next to no re-
suit. No doubt it is capital in "equity
FORM" that is, owners capital repre-
sented by stock, that great many small
businesses require But an enterprise
which cannot offer sound basis for
borrowing is not likely to be attractive
to venture capital-at least not in the
ordinary run Of industrial or mercantile
activities.
What small enterprises really need Is
not more finance machinery, but more
opportunity to make profits and less
compusion to pay taxes. With these
advantages granted, their capita prob
lens would largely solve themselves.
