Libraries 'Debunked'
BY Jonathan Daniels,
Surprising Audience
Author Says Institutions
Are Not the CitodeIs
They Ought to Be-

A dignified group of librarians
gasped in surprise last night as jon
athan Daniels, author and assistant
director of the Office of Civilian De-
fense, told them that their libraries
are not the citadels they ought
to be-"
Librarians are apt to hug to
their bosoms," declared the author
of the 1888 best-s seller "A Southerner
Discovers the South" "the theory
that this is a war of books against
the hoodlums of ignorance"
Actually, he told the District Lii
brary Association meeting at the
Library of Congress, the ignorant
Germans have done clever job OF
''harnessing all knowledge into
weapons designed to conquer the
world"
Power Of Printed Word.
Contrary to the conviction of some
Americans that the Germans have
'revolted against knowledge" said
Mr.. Daniels, the Nazis burning of
the books opposed to their regime
proved that they appreciate the
power of the printed word.
Meanwhile, American librarians
are presiding over shelves on shelves
of books. he said. without at times
seeming to realize that lit is the
ideas in the books. not the books
alone, which count
"Grandiose ideas have grown up
l,n
said. Books on shelves cannot save
us any more than burning them
can destroy u.s. Books at best are
tools for people, evil as we'll as good"
All Types Of Libraries.
There are all types of libraries
in the United States, Mr.. Daniels
said. In New England, he said,
| there is apt to be the librarian to
whom the town would rather pay a.
salary than keep on relief. In other
parts of the country there are
libraries, he said, painting in COM
petition with renting libraries in the
drug stores" A third type of library.
he said, is full of books on the
latest fashions and fads but has
none of the equipment for man
who simply wants to find out some-
thing"
All of these libraries must co.
operate after the war, he said, lin

Price ControI...N0W

The CIO position is that labor should
not have to bear all the sacrifices nec-
essary for defense and the war, but
rather that these burdens should be
equally borne by all classes.
This has not been true in the case
of the rapidly rising cost of living. The
sacrifices have been shifted onto the
shoulders of labor which is the least
able to bear them.
Since the war the cost of living has
been steadily rising. 1t is now IL per-
cent higher than it was in August, 1899.
And that IL percent has come out of
the inadequate incomes of the work
ers of the country.
Leon Henderson, Price Control Ad-
ministrator, told a Senate Committee
last week that the cost of living will be
20 percent higher than in 1889 by
spring, that it is rising at the rate of
II percent per month.
He also told the Senators that during
the last year, corporate profits have
risen 1859 percent.
His figures showed that corporate
profits this year would aggregate about
ST., 500, O00,0O0 compared with $4,27O,-
100000 in 1889. Even after payment
of all the new and higher taxes, cor

what they were two years ago-$6,-
14O,0OO,OOO instead of S3,O4O, 100000.
Henderson's figures showed that
profits have increased far more proper
tionately than wages.
He estimated that initiation had al

cost of the nations SGT 900, 100000 ar
mament program. He warned that if
prices should continue to rise as fast as
they are rising now the additional cost
of the war program would be S31 ,0OO,-
100000.
What has Congress being doing about
this? For months it has been dawdling
around with a price control bill, while
the big corporations raked in ever lar
ger profits.
The House passed a bill to hamstring
Henderson, the Price Control Admins
traitor, from exercising really effective
control over prices. 1t would prevent
him not only from protecting the people
but the government itself.
1t is time that Congress quickly pass
