The Real War Behind what appears to be a controversy between two companies for the privilege of selling natural gas to industries of Indianapolis is the shadow of a real war. It is more than a quarrel between two utilities. These are won or lost, settled or compromised, as financiers dictate and always to the detriment of the people. But the real war is against public ownership in Indianapolis. The prospective profits from private ownership of the gas company, tempting as they are, sink into insignificance when compared with the danger that is inherent to the swollen profits of gas companies in other cities if once Indianapolis demonstrates that it is possible to furnish cheap fuel under public ownership to its residents. That is the reason strange < things are happening in Indianapolis, in New It ork, in the places where utility barons plan to subdue the first murmer of uprising of the public serf. The city has won its first skirmish with the forces of privilege. The supreme court had said that the people are entitled to take over the Citizen’s Gas Company at the price fixed twenty-five years ago. But that is only a beginning. There are bankers and bondholders who are planning more legal attacks on the project. There are shrewd lawyers in New York and Indianapolis who are plotting to throw out the creation of the utility district as a means of financing public ownership. There are others who are plotting suits to break the lease between the Citizens’ and the old Indianapolis Gas Company. The purpose is to destroy public ownership or so wear down the patience of the people that it will be delayed for years. One of the concerns, not the one with which the local manufacturers are dealing in a hope of gaining cheaper fuel for their factories, has vast holdings in other cities. It operates in the three largest Ohio cities and has litigation in all. Its charges are a matter of public protest. If Indianapolis obtains real public ownership and efficient management, gas rates will fall in every other city. Even the most servile of public service commissions can not stand deadly comparisons. That is the war behind the natural gas controversy. The manufacturers of this city want natural gas. They assert that their plan will not interfere with public ownership, but aid it. Oh the other hand, sincere friends of public ownership are afraid of any change of conditions until all legal matters are settled And back in the financial centers utility monopolies are preparing for a real war, a war that will lose for them on every front if once this city obtains its freedom from the plunderbund. Latin American Debt Holiday? Much can be said in favor of extending to LatinAmerican debtors the principle of the Hoover holiday plan for European war debt payments. But obviously it is a task for private bankers and not for the Washington government. Even a private bankers’ moratorium would have to be hedged about with careful restrictions, or it might do more harm than good. Those who have been bringing pressure on President Hoover for such action, ignore a fundamental difference between the European and the LatinAmerican financial obligation. The former are intergovernmental debts, and can be handled only by governmental action. The latter are debts of LatinAmerican government to private banks and bondholders in this country. There are also, of course, European debts to American private banks and bondholders, but they were excluded expressly by Hoover from the moratorium plan. Thus the net effect of the proposed Hoover moratorium on intergovernmental war debts and reparations is to protect and increase the value of the privately held European debts, which is greatly to the Interest of the American bankers. The reverse is true in Latin America. A moratorium would not mean an immediate gain, but an immediate loss to the r American bankers. Immediate loss of payments for a year or two, however, would be preferable from a banker’s point of view to later default and bankruptcy of the debtors. That this is something more than an imaginary danger is demonstrated by the recent defaults of Peru and Bolivia. No informed person will deny the critical condition of most Latin-American countries financially, and the consequent critical political situation in many of those countries. The recent epidemic of Latin-American revolutions and growing unrest reflect those unhealthy economic conditions. Responsibility for the near-bankruptcy of many Latin-American governments does not rest solely with the extravagance and, in some cases, the corruption of local politicians. American bankers also are to blame. American bankers in many cases encouraged irresponsible Latin-American governments to borrow money which those governments did not need or could not afford. So there is added justice in the demand that the American bankers themsefves provide the moratorium necessitated in part by their own questionable banking practices. As in the case of any other legitimate moratorium, this would benefit in the end not only the debtor, but the creditor. And in this particular ins tan oe it would benefit American trade generally. We shall not emerge completely from this depression until we have regained our lucrative foreign market, of which Latin America is an important ||rt. a private moratorium, if followed by governmental re-

ductlon of tariffs, would tend to revive trade and prosperity. But the bankers would have to show more sense in restricting the moratorium than they did in making some of the unwise loans originally. Any moratorium which encouraged further extravagance and corruption, or which liberated funds for arms and munitions, would make a critical situation worse. Old and Young Distress of the unemployed worker is all too familiar to Americans. A job must be provided for him, and, failing that, his suffering must be relieved by private and public funds. But suffering is not his alone. There are also the aged and the young who have their own special problems in these times. All are linked; yet all are separate. Americans are becoming more thoughtful of all three. Os the problem of the aged, for instance, the current Issue of the Monthly Labor Review, a publication of the United States department of labor, carries heartening news. Its survey of public old-age pensions shows that during the last three years the number of counties with old-age pension systems has more than doubled. More than ten times as many old people are being cared for, and more than eight times as much is being expended for their relief. In this country onethird of the states have acted. Thus the old-age pension movement grows slowly, but splendidly, and eventually the day will come when no worker will be faced with fear and utter desperation, when his useful days are passed. To speed this day it may take federal action In this country, and then help should be given gladly and gratefully. At the other end of the ladder Is the child. Child labor has been outlawed in many states, yet it always is a problem, probably more of a problem now than formerly, for the Labor Review, quoting a, report of the White House conference on child health and protection, shows that child labor is plainly in a large measure a question of poverty. This is poverty of the child’s parents or guardians, naturally. And here its problem is complicated by that of the able-bodied but idle worker. Abolition of child labor would provide jobs for 1,000,000 adults. The conference urged that, in combating child labor, unemployment of the father, low wages, poor living standards and other factors that lead to poverty be studied. Then, into this problem of the child, there comes also the problem of the aged. Thus they can not be separated very far; as one is touched, so is the other These hard times have focused most of our thought on the able-bodied worker, for he is the man who makes our wealth, and who makes possible our position in the world. We have learned lessons s,bout the distress of these persons, and there are lessons to be learned from the same depression about the distress of those who are too young to work, and those too old to work. If we act upon these lessons, the depression will have had its beneficial side, too. The trouble with most “angels” of Broadway shows is that they think, as far as their productions go, that the sky is the limit. Prisoners at Sing Sing have organized a baseball team. Going in for sport may be all right, provided they don’t take up cross-country running. The sailor hat, fashion experts say, is coming back. Probably because so many women are having their hair waved. Before investing in a sailor hat, however, most women undoubtedly will wait for a sail. This generation, remarks the office sage, is distinguished by its hustle; the past generation by its bustle. They called him a hula hula dancer because he had something on the hip. It behooves the golfer to keep his eye on the ball, lest he get a ball in the eye.

REASON

YOU may rest assured that before President Hoover and the leaders of both political parties at Washington declared in favor of suspending the payment of war debts and reparations for one year that they were convinced that a crisis exists in Germany. a a a Such crisis involved in all probability' the fall of the republic and a battle between the Fascists and Communists with the red shadow of Russia and Bolshevism in the background. * Europe is far more unsettled today than she was in 1914. a a a If, by any chance, Germany should go Bolshevist, then those who are now fearing the reds without reason would have some basis for their apprehensions. Os course the rest of Europe would go to any length to prevent Germany’s following in the footsteps of Russia. a a a HERE’S a story of a dog which traveled 400 miles to return to his home up in Calgary. This is just about the same distance traveled by an old dog of ours which returned to Indiana from beyond the Mississippi river. a a a The caddies at the Youngstown golf course struck for higher wages. One trembles to contemplate the fate which would grip the republic if all the caddies in the country would follow suit. a a a A scientist just has discovered the bones of a man who lived down in Arizona more than 20,000 years ago. This was just a little while before the beginning of the prosecution of ex-Secretary Fall. a a a IT IS surprising that little or nothing is heard in the form of indignant protest from Mexico on account of the killing of those two Mexicans students in Oklahoma. If two American students had been killed in Mexico a lot of our folks would be demanding intervention. a a a We see by the New York papers that shiploads of prominent easterners are going to Europe to spend their vacation, and it’s a safe bet that not one in ten of them ever saw the Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon. mam The nineteen American 'tiayors who have been touring France have returned on a French boat. If we could just induce our own folks to patronize American ships we would be a way toward the establishment of a great merchan?marine. Europeans patronize their own boats.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M: E: Tracy SAYS: It's Not How Well People Can Think, but What They Think About, That Counts. NEW YORK, June 29.—The most exceptional reservation yet made to President Hoover’s proposal for a moratorium comes from South Africa. South Africa gets about $500,000 a year in reparations from Germany, while paying nearly $1,700,000 a year to England. The moratorium, therefore, represents an advantage of more than a million dollars. Instead of taking it, however, South Africa proposes to continue ; paying her own debt, while granting Germany relief. South Africa’s example should be of some help to the conference now j going on in Paris. a a a World Speeds Up A T least twice within the last /a.few days, a Paris telephone operator has informed the American embassy, “White House calling.” Without the telephone, cable, mu radio, President Hoover hardly j would have dared to suggest an inI tsmalional debt holiday on two ; weeks’ notice. Whether we have grown any I wiser in th£ solution of great problems, we certainly are able to ' handle them with greater speed. The task of getting information | and broadcasting ideas has become | comparatively simple. What bothers us most is the kind of information to get and the kind of ideas to broadcast. a a a

Don’t Use Our Noodles ADMITTING that we are imperfect beings, and that many ; things are beyond us, we still have ; enough intelligence to do a much better job than we are doing if it were employed properly. The trouble is that we think too little about important matters and too much about those of no great consequence. Now that President Hoover has proposed a moratorium, most every one recognizes the wisdom of it, but how many thought of it before? a a a Must Go Some Place SPEED means nothing without direction, and intelligence means nothing without purpose. Jackson and O’Brine remained in the air nearly twenty-seven days on their famous refuelling flight, but without getting anywhere. Post and Gatty have gone more than half way around the world in five days. Like an airplane, the mind can be made to travel in circles, or wasted on stunts. It is not how well people can think, but what they think about that tells the story. The greates* genius on earth can fritter away his talents in wisecracks or parlor magic. Some of them have done it. a a a Lean on Weak Reed FOR several days, the “Five Starr Faithfull” case, as the magazine “Time” accurately describes it, more than successfully has competed with President Hoover’s plan for front page space. Admitting that editors were right in assuming that reader-interest justified this, aren’t we in a pretty bad way when it comes to depending on mass intelligence for the solution of difficult problems?. That democracy about which we forever are harping presupposes an ability to select subjects as well as to take interest in them. So, too, does the higher education by which we set such store and for which we are spending such enormous sums. a a a , Just Smart Crackers WE Americans have made a howling success of automobiles, the movies, broadcasting, cosmetics, commercialized sport and other things of similar stripe since the war. No nation on earth has done half the joy-riding, .listened to half the jazz, or produced and distributed half the volume of lipsticks. No nation on earth can show half the number of wise-crackers or comic strip artists. But both our domestic and foreign trade is going down, especially in those lines connected with the serious business of life. Steel, cattle, wheat, corn and other basic commodities are not playing as substantial a part in the American economic structure as they were twenty years ago. By and large, this is due to the peculiar channels in which our mentality has chosen to travel. We prefer to be clever, smart and sensational, to get the spotlight, if only for a moment, to do stunts that hold out the promise of a Hollywood contract, to write books that will shock people, and, above all else, try to get out of every kind of a mess by telling other people what they ought to do.

RUSSIAN TAX LAWS * June 29 ON June 29, 1917, the provisipnal Russian government issued a law increasing the existing progressive income tax to 30 per cent on ! incomes of more than $200,000. Another new law increased the , war tax on increment of indusj trial profits to 60 per cent. A third progressive income tax, rising on ! the largest incomes to more than ; 30 per cent and making together with the highest ordinary income tax, 60 per cent of the income. The new Russian loan received subscriptions amounting to $1,500,000,000, bringing the total debt to $20,500,000,000. On July 12 a dispatch from Petrograd stated that the deposed Emperor Nicholas had appealed to the provisional government to allow him and the members of his family to acquire stock in the “Loan of Freedom.” He announced that the amount of their investment in the loan de- | pended upon whether the Russian state intended to support his family.

IT SEEMS TO ME

AN old pet theory of mine is being strengthened day by day. Asa matter of fact, it has ceased to become a theory. By now it is definitely a conviction. I refer to the almost universal tendency of writers—particularly young writers—to say too much. Os late it has been necessary for me to neglect my reading. And, though it is possible that I have missed a few literary gems, I have, on the other hand, gleaned some valuable information. a a a Brevity in Order FOR several weeks now I’ve been reading over sketches and skits. I can’t truthfully say I have read everything from beginning to end. But I have read enough to realize that, with few exceptions, they all suffer from the same disease. Os course, there have been many which couldn't be considered under any circumstances. Some were too dirty, others too hackneyed and still other created for the sole purpose of pointing a moral lesson. But I am concerned for the moment with those manuscripts which

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Times—The piece I sent in to be published on prohibition, I found was answered by N. O. F. I am sorry that he failed to give his address and sign his full name. I am sure I would enjoy a debate with him, for his views are all wrong about being more drunks now than in saloon days. I have been in sixteen states and many large cities since prohibitioh, and I will say I used to see more drunks in my home town on a Saturday night in our saloon days than I saw in my visit to all the sixteen states. I believe that you are mistaken about all the prisons being full of men poisoned on bootleg whisky, for our Ladoga jail has had only one drunk man in it in the last two years, and in our saloon days it was a common thing to have from ten to twenty drunks caged in one night. I wish to state when we had saloons they were prohibited from opening on Sunday and holidays, so there were bootleggers in the alleys back of the saloons selling liquor even to minors. The liquor traffic proved long ago that it will not abide by law. To hear the chatter one would imagine that prohibition is the one thing which prevents our law enforcement machine from functioning efficiently. I will admit that we have the bootlegger today, but bootlegger corruption is mild compared with the corruption we had when the liquor business was legalized. I think that for every bootlegger today there are ninety-nine young men helping to support families. It is a great alibi that prohibition is causing this depression—people being out ctf work, food and clothing. I want to ask why are the people in Europe worse off than we are? They are out of work and starving with their wide-open saloons. I don’t see any grounds for blaming the change of the markets on the prohibition law. I lived on the farm in 1394 and received only 15 cents a bushel for my corn, so the

■DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

The gun weighs 35 pounds and forced by an air trigger strikes 1000 blows a minute. The concussion to the arms and the ears of the gun man and the positions in which he has to work make his occupation a rather difficult one. According to a recent report, insurance companies charge these workers $459 for each SI,OOO of Insurance. Specialists in industrial diseases recently have given particular consideration to the conditions of health associated with the use of compressed air hammers. Stone cutters who use pneumatic chisels sometimes have what are called “dead fingers,” which means

have possibilities. Almost invariably it has been necessary to struggle through a mass of words. And it has required a keen eye and infinite patience to discover the idea behind the camouflage. Os course, in some instances, where there has been a clever or mirthprovoking idea, it has been possible to rewrite the whole thing. But it is just possible that some masterpiece has been shunted aside because there wasn’t time to wade through the morass of words, words, words. *a a a Description THE same thing is true of novels, autobiographies, and books in general. In the days when woman’s place was in the home and even the word “sex” was barred in mixed company, it was the fashion for all novels to begin with a lengthy description of the countryside, the house and each of the characters involved. Any change in the weather was minutely reported. One could not take a chance and skip pages, either. For usually, sandwiched

saloon did not help to bring about prosperity in the least. We are surprised at the fact that many public men are not loyal to our country and we are made to wonder how our country managed to scrape through for so long without some judge or a Wickersham to discover that the Constitution is unconstitutional. We believe that any scheme or plan that makes liquor easier to get should be opposed. Anyway, we never believe in destroying what we have until we are sure of getting something better. CLAUDE HARSHBARGER. Ladoga, Ind. Editor Times—A few days ago I read the speech of Chief Last Man, a Sioux fighter, aged 86. His speech contained twenty-four words—abc t four lines. He said: “Pale faces run here and run there. Rush to work and rush home. Heap big hurry ’bout nothing. Pale faces damn fools. All crazy.” On Monday, June 15, the leader of a great nation, President Hoover, spoke. His speech -contained about 750* lines, approximately 3,750 words. Dare I say that I find more real truth in the four lines, twentyfour words, than in the 750 lines, 3,750 words. Billy Sunday used to enter our cities with his religious slang. When he left we forgot both him ana his slang, so we forget the speech of Mr. Hoover. But we can not forget what a hopelessly crazy set we are, what hopeless imbecilic rulers of industry and government we have, who are surrounded by a superfluity of everything that makes life worth living and to enjoy, but lack the elemental horse sense \o distribute the bounties of nature and labor. There is not an animal, be it ever so low in the scale of life that would starve in the midst of plenty.

Trouble is caused, according to Dr. Alice Hamilton, by the long continued muscular contraction of the fingers that hold the tool, the vibration of the tool and cold. In the condition called “dead fingers” the hands become cold, pale and numb. Attempts constantly have been made to improve these conditions by modifying the form of the hammer, and there is reason to believe that eventually improvements largely will overcome the difficulties. Practically, all physicians are agreed that the conditions mentioned are not serious from the point of view of developing permanent disability.

RV HEYWOOD BROUN

between trees, flowers, thunderstorms aud the murmur of the babbling brook, could be found some such pregnant sentence as “Genevieve, my palatial mansion is naught but a hovel to me unless you share it with me. . . .” But the tempo of life has increased since then. Not only in material things is this fact evident. But our books, plays, and pictures show the effect of this general speeding up. It isn’t fair -to assume that we have lost our sense of values. After all, we are still concerned with love and happiness, as were our fathers before us. But we are franker to say what we want and go after it without hedging. The novelist who uses two volumes to tell a story which easily could be boiled down to one or less is considered by the critics a sort of doddering old chatterbox. It seems to me ironic that Theodore Dreiser achieve fame through his “An American Tragedy,” which I consider an unutterably long, dull book, while his “Sister Carrie” and “Jennie Gerhardt” left the public cold.

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

Twelve Eminent Authorities Give Their Views on Science and Religion. TWELVE talks on "Science and Religion.” broadcast by the ! British Broadcasting Company for I British listeners, now are published ! in book form under the same title by Charles Scribner’s Sons. Professor Michael Pupin of Columbia university contributes a foreword to the published edition. (The book sells for $1.75.1 A first glance at the book causes i one to stop and ponder upon the , general differences between the radio situation in America and Great | Britain. At the present moment I ; can think of no broadcasting venj ture in America to compare with this British one. The twelve talks were given by the following eminent authorities: Professor Julian Huxley, Professor Sir J. Arthur Thomson, Professor J. S. Haldane, the Rt. Rev. E. W. Barnes, bishop of Birmingham, Professor B. Malinowski, the Very Rev. H. R. L. Sheppard, dean of Canterbury, the Rev. Canon B. H. Streeter, the Rev. C. W. O’Hara, S. J., Professor Sir Arthur S. Eddington, Proi fessor S. Alexander, the Very Rev. j W. R. Inge, dean of St. Paul’s, and Dr. L. P. Jacks. a a a Eminent Names IT will be noticed that the list of contributors to the symposium on “Science and Religion”* contains such eminent names as that of the “gloomy dean;” Eddinton, whom many authorities regard as the great astronomer of the day; and such famous biologists as Huxley, Thomson and Haldane. It goes without saying that no reader will agree with the opinions of the twelve contributors to the symposium. And, it is also extremely likely that an even larger number will disagree with Prof. | Pupifi’s foreword. | There are a large number of thinkers today who regard science as the antithesis of religion. There are some who regard one of the functions of science to be to supplant religion. Many fundamentalists and orthodox religionists who believe that religion must be protected from the march of science. Pupin, whoever, takes the position taken by Millikan and others in this country. It is that religion and science can walk hand-in-hand to the ultimate benefit of mankind. That, of course, is the general opinion behind the British symposium. As Pupin says: “The fact that the twelve members of this symposium, so well equipped for its difficult task, could be found shows that the relation of science and religion has awakened the deepest interest in the leading minds of English in every line of higher intellectual endeavor.” a a a Conflicts Avoidable PUPIN continues, “It is indeed a most encouraging sign that the best of English science is not indifferent to England’s religious thought, and that some of the foremost among the English ecclesiastics are not indifferent to the trend of thought of modern science. “This symposium reveals that science and religion in England are anxious to walk arm in arm to aid each other in their exalted mission of making life worth living. This obviously is as it should be. “Science, religion, and the fine arts are the creations of the three fundamental faculties of the human soul, and a harmony between their activities is the highest aim in cultural development. “The members of this sj’mposium agree that conflicts between science and religion are avoidable when each of them avoids encroaching upon the domain which naturally belongs to the other. “The realities revealed in the domain of religious thought are not revealed in the domain of physical sciences. The converse also is true. “The scientists of this symposium share in the opinion of their colleague, the Bishop of Birmingham, when he says: “Science has remarkably* little to say as to the scale of values by which we order our lives. Yet such values are fundamental to religion;’ and he also makes this confession: ‘I wish to make it quite clear that many beliefs, associated with religious faith in the past, must be abandoned. They had to meet the direct challenge of science; and I believe it is true to say that in every such direct battle since the Renaissance, science has been the victor.’ ”
