CREATIVE SPIRIT is
INTERN NATIONAL

Achievement in science, more often
than not, is the result of the sustained
thinking of many minds in many
countries driving toward a common
goal. The creative spirit of man cam
not successfully be localized or nation
allied. Ideas are starved when they
are fenced in behind frontiers. The
fundamental unity of modern civiliza-
tion is the unity of it's intellectual life,
and that life cannot without disaster
be broken up into separate parts. If,
as result of the present cataclysm
on the other side of the Atlantic, Eu-
rope freezes into an Arctic night, we
shall not easily keep the fires lit in
the universities and laboratories of
America. DIR. Raymond B. Fosdick,
president the Rockefeller Foundation.

BAD SAFETY REPORT

American piled up a traffic death
toll of 2,170 lives in the short month
of February-a 10 per cent increase
over the same month of last year, the
National Safety Council reports.
1t is feared there has been little, if
any, improvement in the traffic safety
situation since the end of February.
To make the picture more gloomy,
the four preceding months had shown
increases in highway deaths as COM
pared with the previous year.
Evidently the situation calls even
more imperatively than in past years
for effective safety action, everywhere.
AS pointed out before, organized la
Dor has a special interest in highway
safety, as auto deaths add consider
ably to the financial burden on unions
which pay death benefits.
Safety committees in every central
body could help to promote road

SOLUTION TO ALL
OTHER PROBLEMS

Washington, d. G. (ILNS) lin an
interview here, Monsignor John A.
Ryan, director of the Social Action
Department of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference, Rev. James My
ers, industrial secretary Of the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of Christ
in America, and Rabbi Edward T.. Is
rael, of the Central Conference of
American Rabbis, expressed deep con-
cern 31est unemployment become a
political football.'a
They announced that their three re-
ligious organizations will convene a
special InterfaitH Conference on I'm
employment in Washington, June 4-6,
at which the causes and possible So
lutions of unemployment will be dis
cussed by experts
The major objective of the confer
ence will be to arouse the conscience
of the nation and to develop the will
to solve this problem which they felt
''is basic to the solution of all other
problems.
Coming before the national political
conventions, the conference will be
strictly non-partisan but it is hoped
that it will help to impress upon all
parties and upon the nation that un-
employment is "America's No. l pub
lie problem" and that attention must
not be diverted from it to interna-
tional affairs, nor it's solution sought
by means of armament economies"
Whatever findings the forthcoming
conference may adopt will be the re-
sponsibility of the conference itself
rather than of the convening organ
izations, the three leaders stated.
"Such findings" they added, twill in
turn become recommendation to the
various religious bodies for further
study and action"

WE LEARN BY DOING

Children who have everything done
for them don't learn to do things
themselves.
They do not develop initiative and
self-reliance. If thrown on their owr
resources, they have trouble.
Just so with citizens of a nation.
If government activities, regulation
and control take in too much terri
tory, citizens learn to look TOWARD
government for the things they ought
to do themselves. Their ability to act
effectively is weakened.
The American Federation of Labor
knows there is no substitute for vol
untary, cooperative action in many
fields of human endeavor.
Voluntary, co operative action
makes for democracy and faith in
democratic principles. 1t is the anti
thesis of totalitarism and the whole
Fascist -Nazi- Communist idea.

The agreement provides for follow

and machine shops throughout the
country. Should the average wage,
as reported by the U. S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, increase or decrease
10 per cent or more, either the en-
ployers or the union may ask for re-
consideration of the wage section.

COURT OF APPEALS
DECISION REVERSED

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-The Court
of Appeals of the Third District has
been reversed by the Ohio Supreme
Court in a decision in the case of
Ethel Outland against the Industrial
Commission for death award for
the loss of her husband.
Omar Outland, an automobile sales
man in Bellefontaine, on Christmas
Eve, 1884, started for his apartment
to obtain his auto keys and prospect
book, having told his wife and daugh-
ter that he was going to see pros
pect. When the daughter returned
home later she found Outland dead
at the foot of the stairs from frac-
tured skull.
The commission denied the death
claim, holding that it did not occur in
the course of his employment. Com
mon Pleas Court Of Logan County
held for the widow. Court of Ap-
peals reversed the Common Pleas
Court. Now the Supreme Court, by
four-to-three vote, reverses the
Court of Appeals and sustains the
Common Pleas Court in holding that
the widow is entitled to the award for
the death of her husband. Voting for
the award, Williams, Day, Myers and
Hart. Dissenting, Zimmerman, Wey-
gandt and Matthias. The minority
contend that if death was accidental
it happened at his home, under cir
cumstances indicating he was in no
way connected with the duties of his
employment.

Provision of family allowances for
men entering military service has
become an important problem not
only in the warning nations but also
in some of the neutral nations, re-
cent survey reveals.
Lessons learned in the World War
have not been forgotten and efforts
are being made to prevent suffering
among the families of men in the
army, navy and air services. But a
certain amount of hardship is inevi-
table, due to delays in beginning of
allowances, inadequate allowances,
ETC., adding to the burdens carried by
wage earners in war time.
In Canada the schedule of family
allowances rates has been determined
with a view to making unnecessary
the supplements from voluntary
sources which led to the establishment
of the Patriotic Fund of the World
War.
Public policy in the Dominion, it is
stated, is to provide all the basic re-
quirements of the soldiers and their
dependents from the public treasury
and through governmental channels
and resources.
In Germany for the purpose of
adapting the amount of allowances to
the loss of family income resulting
from the breadwinners' mobilization,
recent amendments have been made
to the scheme established before the
outbreak of war
A new family system has
been created, we are told, which gives
the right of option between a grant
based upon family responsibilities and
cost of living in the applicants place
of residence, and variable allowance
based on the wages last earned by the
person called up for service.
Switzerland is one of the neutrals
graphing with the problem of aiding
families of men in the army. Switz.

been forced to keep large numbers OF
men under arms. An amendment to

AN ADMIRABLE
MEMORIAL
(From the New York Times

(From the New York Times,
AS the last gracious gesture of a
great humanist the late Justice Oliver
Wendell Homes bequeathed about half
his property $265, 900 = ''to the
United States of America" The com
mittee appointed to find suitable
way of spending the money has now
decided to devote it to memorial
edition of Holmes writings. Book
publishers, who are accustomed to
count pennies, will testify that good
deal can be done with that much
money. Yet if a gifted editor can
bring together the best that was in
Justice Holmes-his profound instinct
for fair play, his philosophical insight
into human nature and human institu-
tions, his classic traditionalism and
his wholly American adaptability, his
humor, his occasional cynicism-this
memorial will be better than marble
and hammered brass. Justice Frank
furter is mentioned as the prospective
editor. He would be an ideal choice.
