Sloan Has The Answer??

Sloan Has The Answer??
TA7ELL, boys, here we go again. Get your apple
w boxes out of storage. The next big depression is
" Just around the corner. Nh. Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.,
hasit all figured out.
Of course, that isn't exactly what he calls it. His
term is continued prosperity for a while. After a
tour of inspection of Dayton General Motors plants this
week, the GIN corporation chairman put it something
like this:
After three or four months of hesitancy' in which
to make a switch from war to peace production, there
will be plenty of jobs for all, and excellent business,
perhaps, for three or four years. He mentioned SO per
cent expansion of production.
Neat picture, what? What's that? It's not orig
inal?-Been done before? Did somebody mention
Hoovertown? Throw him out. We can't have any
reds in here.
But cheer-up, boys, the next depression won't
last forever. There's another war coming and look at
the boom we'll have then. Of course this present par
ticuar war isn't over yet, but Mr.. Sloan said he and
Boss Kettering have "agreed" it will be over in 1914.
That is why he is so busy right now planning to sell
1912 model cars in 1914, 1945, 1916 and 1947. You
see, they have also agreed there just amt goin' to be
any really new models-and no family helicopters for
the time being.
But more about this new war boom that is going
to save us from the New Depression. It's like this.
Before a civic luncheon sponsored by the Dayton
Chamber of Commerce honoring 80 GIN executives
Monday, Sloan uttered this profound utterance:
"The periods of peace must become longer"
(At this point in the program there was prac-
tically no mob h~ysteria).
Of course, we cannot report that he completed
the statement by adding the words, -"but not too
long" He didn't say it, that is, exactly in those words.
Here is what he did say (should we add, hopefully?):
AS far as peace is concerned, it is a political ques-
ton. We won't 60 into it today"
Then, farther along in his speech:
"The American people shouldn't be oversold on
what is coming. Human nature doesn't change very
much. Some think we are going to have a Utopia,
that the different nations are going to sit around the
peace table to straighten out differences.
Il think" Sloan continued, you are going to see
the greatest bunch of poker playing with most of the
cards under the table,, because human nature doesn't
change. That is something we have to guard against
and we may go down under the peace table. We hope
for the best"
So things aren't going to be different this time
after all. There, there, don't take it so hard, little
postwar planner. Just wrap your nice plans up in a
neat bundle and mail to Mr.. Sloan-collect.
He'll take care of them.

A call for national unity of re-
ligion and labor for victory and
enduring democratic peace was
sounded by Alexander F. Whitney
of Cleveland, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
speaking for labor, and Alva w.
Taylor of Nashville, Tenn, execu-
tive secretary, Southern Mountain
Workers conference, speaking for
religion.
On the program were Catholic,
Protestant and Jewish clergymen,
officials from CLIO, AFL and indie
pendent unions from United Labor
and the Wright Field a capella
choir, Negro singers, directed by
Wilbert McGruder.
Common Good
Whitney said the common people
of industrialized countries have
found in the organized labor
movement an instrument for the
attainment of the ideal of the
common good.
He said he did not think organ
lied labor in the democracies to
be athiestic or antireligious but
added:
Religious leadership has neg
lected labor's interests and many
workers reciprocate with a similar
lack of interest in religious affairs.
"If a preacher, a priest, a rabbi
and a Christian Scientist reader
can sit down together and work
out a non-sectarian religious ap-
peal to labor, there is no reason
to believe that Observation-Disclosures
laymen in the ranks of labor will
not respond" Whitney added.
Declaring organized religion and
organized labor have a basis for
unity in a common ethical goal of
Simple justice" Whitney pro-
ceeded to rap economic institu-
tons justified by economic and
social theories which don't work
out for the common good"
He termed the religious system
"unethical" with "too little prac-
teal effect upon a physical en-
vironment wherein the masses of
mankind have endured lives of
terror and suffering and priva-
ton"
Stressing that he was not de-
nouncing religion, Whitney de-
manded: why have not we and
our religious institutions been
moved to take practical measures
to correct this physical environ
ment in which men must sin to
avoid starvation?"
Unity Is Goal
Taylor declared that unity is the
goal of the home battle front.
anyone who teaches the pro-
phets and the Sermon on the
Mount and tries to be a realistic
and practical religious leader, who
has not the confidence of the
telling masses, has missed the
mark" he admonished.
Taylor said there is no single
public opinion making group, in
GLIDING congress, that has the
moral courage to speak out and
walk ahead of the procession as

The Ballet Russo, which annually
passes through Washington like an
elusive zephyr, last night opened at
Constitution Hall its latest two day
pause. Judging from that per-
formance and its reception, the visit
will have been sufficient to convince
the company of the enthusiastic 10y
atty of this city'S fanciers of the
ballet spectacle. Ballet Russo and
its operators in passing may also
note an obvious growth in box office,
and perhaps let that serve to influ-
ence future plans.
General considerations aside, the
kind of program which the Monte
Carlo troupe staged last night could
not possibly fail in public appeal
Chopin Concerto" work by Min
ska new to America, provided an ut
terly enchanting example of mu-
sical design set in motion. An in
depreciation, in terms of classic
style, of the Piano Concerto in E
Minor, the choreographic piece OBJ
viously has no program to follow, no
nationalitic dance idioms to ex-
pound. It's color is the subdued
shades of the music as music alone.
AS the piano-orchestral themes de-
velop into their melodic patterns. so
do the groupings and solo figurations
form on the stage. The concerto
IS romantic, contemplative music:
the alliance with it of motion makes
the setting idvllic. The placid, seri-
GUS mood of Mia Slavenska, set
against the brightness of Nathalie
Krassovska, gave the two mildly
conflicting spirits of the music
fine visual counter-balance The
large ensemble, for its part, con-
veyed the intricate background of
the Chopin score with clarity and
precision.
"Rodeo," which is staged to the
suite (and relatively conservative
one) by Aaron COPELAND, stands, at
the opposite pole from Concerto .
This work by Agnes de Mile is
downright good theater. It's sub
title. The Courting at Burnt
Ranch" affords sufficient clue as
to story. What takes place on the
stage is pack of free hand panto-
mime-straightforward lusty, Wig
orous and richly humorous carica-
ture. Far from an attempt to SYM
bolize epically the frontier days
"Rodeo" is simply fun first and
last: and strangely, in being so,
succeeds in capturing some of that
Old West spirit where something
like Billy the Kid" self consciously
tried and failed.
