HOW SHATTERED" MUST AMERICA BE?

We offer for the thoughtful consideration of our readers the gist
of a recent of statement by Walter Lippmann, one of Americas best
Informed and mostSerious columnists:
"The struggle for Europe is behDeen Communists and Socialists.
The foreign policy of The British Labor Party is adjusted to that fact.
The shattered economy OF Europe cannot be restored By private enter
PRISE. HGrdd as 1t tW be for Is to accept the U9U that socialism is neA
ceSSary IN Europe, ue shall haze to accept it if uant peace and recon-
StructiOn"
Having read that reasoned estimate of what is necessary in that
art OF te world that has been shattered by war, we find ourselves
wondering whether the people of these United States will be foolish
enough to wait until their economy is shattered and the going gets o
tough that nothing else will suffice before heading along the Socialist
road.
How shattered must we Americans become before the people Of
this nation decide-rather than yield to the pressure of circumstances
to adopt the Socialist way of life.
Surely, if Socialism is the only system that will rescu large popu-
latons from the evil effects of capitalism, it would be much to the
advantage OF people in more stable conditions, and far easier, to adopt
the same good way of life.
About TIL most foolish and costly action any generation can take
IS that OF holding fast to that which produces bad results. Intelligent
people don't wait until an ASSESSED molar infecs their whole system
having the offending tooth extracted. No matter how useful the
ooh nngh w been IN the past, when it outlives its usefulness and
ecomeS a positive menace reason demands its removal.

Denial OF Free Speech

America, which has always and rightfuIy prided itself O n its
jealous regard for free speech, now denies that right to labor.
In the great crisis which confronts the Nation today, the voice of
labor has been arbitrarily slenced.

Worker OF America, have left the coal pits entirely on their own wolf
ton because they consider their contract terminated. No orders 0 in

this comment:

that all I need to do
TO be a man, was just grow up.
That was before I. knew
So much of grown-up males who
lack as much that manhood needs
AS when they we're but juveniles
and dreamed of manly deeds.
So | have learned this much, at
least, since my life began:
1t takes much more than growing
up to be a real man.
Fine breadth of vision, self-control,
boundless charity.
A gentler tongue, a stronger faith,
more perfect clarity
In spirit-vision; patience vast
more patience still, and more;
Wisdom to knoW-and to forget
all that has gone before;
Courage to smile though sorrow
fill unto its brim your cup
More is required, to make a man,
than merely growing up!

The value of the farmers wife
in helping him carry on the farm
business, was set at 500, 100000 by
the National Farm Electrificatioh
conference in Chicago this month.
If the purchasing power of mo-
ney at present is considered, the
figure cannot be held to be a ceiling
price.
If the actual labor of the farm
woman is fairly measured, it
amounts to the assessed valuation
of these United States. What hope
could there be for the food and
fibre this nation requires if the
women of our farms were with
drawn? They provide both motive
and incentive for production on the
farm. No mere man has yet been
able to run a real home without the
woman at his side.
The estimate is far short of actual
value. There is but one estimate
that comes near the truth. That was
written by Solomon, 1000 years B.
c. He described her and her work,
her faithfulness and love and de.
clared: Her price is far above ru.
bies." That somewhere near ap-
proximates the value of the good
wife on the farm and stands as the
ceiling today.-From the Farmers
