MONDAY. JUNE 12. 1933. LONDON FOG ' 1 ''HE world monetary and economic conference opening in London today has the twin distinction of being the largest international conference and— probably the gloomiest. A year ago, when it was projected, hopes for it were high. Even three months ago, when President Roosevelt began his series of direct conversations in Washington with foreign premiers and ministers, the chances of partial success seemed good. Now, as the conferees convene, the prediction in Washington and in every European capital is that they will fall. That does not mean they will accomplish nothing. But results of the conference are apt to be insignificant compared with its original purposes and with the world problems which it was to have solved. Explanation of this deflation of conference hopes is complex. But, in general terms, the anticipated failure to achieve economic and financial settlements will be due to unsolved political problems. The international political situation is more difficult now than at any time since the World war—the latest fourpower peace pact notwithstanding. The only political improvements are in Italy and Russia. Mussolini is less of a war threat than formerly. And Russia's relations with Europe, which periodically has plotted Russian intervention, are better. But two newer and larger menaces to world peace and confidence have arisen. In Germany the mad Hitler is in power. In the Far East a militaristic Japan is out for conquest. Treaties are being smashed. Governments are turning back to more reliance on military preparedness. After fifteen years of international effort and almost continuous armament conferences, the possibility of effective disarmament is less now than during the last decade. All this, of course, has stiffened the nationalistic and militaristic spirit of France, the top-dog of Europe. Great Britain, whose Labor government of a few years ago was a force for peace, now is ruled by a divided, weak, and reactionary Tory cabinet. It has aided Japanese militarism and blocked President Roosevelt’s most important peace move. Though the United States has the most enlightened, liberal, and internationally minded administration in years, the internal crisis has prevented President Roosevelt from directing foreign policy as vigorously as he otherwise might have done. Particularly, the necessity of maintaining unity in congress for quick passage of much essential emergency legislation for national recovery has restrained the President from forcing a showdown with congress on the controversial issues of tariffs and war debts. Under the circumstances, the administration’s hands are tied at the world economic conference more than it likes to admit, and the foreign governments are skeptical of any agreements which must face the firing squad of a hostile congress. With the United States government thus only half-free to provide leadership, with the British Tory government frankly lacking in initiative, with France intent on retaining national hegemony in Europe, and Japan in the Far East, with Italy wobbling between peace and conquest, with Germany under Hitler a standing force of discord and distrust, the atmosphere of the London conference is foggy indeed.

LOOKING BACKWARD TO 1904 Chicago celebrating a Century of * T Progress in 1933 with a great modem exposition, it is interesting to glance backward over the last quarter century to the time of the St. Louis world fair in 1904 and compare what was happening then with what is happening now. There is, indeed, a striking similarity. A Roosevelt was in the White House then, as now. Bicycles were in style, as they are today. The free silver issue was before congress th°n, as it has been this year. War was under way in Manchuria, the conflict between Japan and Russia matching the recent hostilities between Japah and China. Beer was being sold legally then, as r.ow. Women’s fashions of today are trending back to those of that time, though in much less exaggerated form. Maybe a cycle in American life has been completed and "the good old days” for which we have longed actually are returning. People were happy and fairly prosperous In 1904 and a return to that state of affairs could be called progress, even if It did involve traveling in an opposite direction. OUR ECONOMIC WEAKNESS AS the long drama of the Morgan investigation continues in that sweltering committee room at Washington, the ordinary American begins to get a clear picture of a state of affairs which he frequently had surmised, but at which he never before had gotten a really good look. The financial world is a place of mystery and wonder to most of us. We have known that it was a place where vast sums of money could be made—and lost, as well—and we had a dim feeling that what went on there was ultimately of great importance even to non-investors: but the most of us never got more than a confused and hazy idea of how it all was done. Now our eyes are being opened. Security issues that go to insiders at bargain rates before they find their way into the open market; wealthy men who have found a fool-proof way of defeating the income tax by year-end sales of stock: the formation of holding companies with the public’s devised so that cl“sr manipulators can hold

the strings to far-flung industrial combines; interlocking series of loans so complex that even the man who negotiated them can not remember how it was done without looking at his private records—all of these things brought into the open by Ferdinand Pecora’s questioning—provide us with an invaluable object-lesson in the way our country gets run. Now the general run of these operations were not wrong legally; most of them, in fact, gauged by current standards, were not even wrong morally. We had devised the kind of economic and social set-up which made it necessary' for the financing of big affairs to be conducted in that way. To get indignant at the individuals directly concerned is to miss the point entirely. For the real point of it all, of course, is that It was our whole basic system that was at fault. This has been said before, to be sure; but it can not be said too often. America being what it was, and our standards being what they were, it simply was inevitable that a tangled web of this kind be built up over our heads. What we face now is the job of introducing restrictions, and modifying our own viewpoints, so that the important task of financing our industries can be carried on with the public interest the main consideration. TIIE BISHOPS SPEAK r T''IMELY is the warning of the seven **• bishops of the National Catholic Welfare Conference that America should adopt not only anew economic, but anew moral, code for industry. The philosophy that permits individuals, corporations, and nations to accumulate as much wealth as they can, according to the unfair methods of modern business, and to use such accumulated wealth as they see fit,” the bishops declare, is un-Christian and Godless, because it “denies the oneness and solidarity of mankind.” A few capitalists have rendered life for the workers insecure and “have made the machine a curse rather than the blessing it should be.” If these—“perhaps not even a hundred men who control the financial destinies of the country”—agreed “to co-operate with the government and with the masses they have so wronged, and have it written into our legislation that capital in the future shall receive a fair return on its investments and nothing more, it would go far toward setting in motion the wheels of industry and solving the problem of unemployment.” Wealth must be distributed more equitably. Corporations must cease their “clandestine manipulation of trust funds and earned surplus.” Their management must take less from wealth in salaries and bonuses. Taxation must not favor the rich at the expense of the poor. “Social justice,” say the bishops, “working in behalf of the common good, requires that the masses not possessing property rise to a degree of ownership. The chasm between owners—the relative few—and nonowners—the vast majority—must be bridged by a distribution of ownership through thrift and a real sharing of profits, not merely a profit-sharing in name.” The bishops’ statement recalls the denunciation by the pope last year of the present economic order as “hard, cruel, and relentless in a ghastly measure.” These Catholic declarations are similar to the statements ,by the Federal Council of Churches and other Protestant bodies in favor of a new’ economic system. They should hearten the President and members of congress in the fight for the industrial recovery bill.

IT CAN BE DONE r\NE League of Nations functions 100 per cent. It has no temple of permanent residence, no panoply of armed force and only a simple voluntary organization, but its decrees appear to have irresistible power. The tangible representatives of this league is the International Olympic committee, and its main business is regulation of the modern Olympic games. Incidentally, however, it can do other and much more amazing things. It can curb human folly, even when such folly has neared insanity. The next Olympic games will be held in Berlin in 1936 because the Hitler government has consented to remove the ban on German Jewish athletes. This action was due primarily to the insistence of American members of the Olympic committee, headed by Brigadier-General Charles H. Sherrill. If Hitlers can be controlled so easily in the name of sport, why should it be so difficult to shackle them in the interest of universal peace and progress'? LINDBERGH AND DIRIGIBLES VIfHEN considering the future of the United * * States navy’s work with dirigibles, it is instructive to consider testimony recently given before the congressional investigating committee by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. “I feel,” said Colonel Lindbergh, “that it would be unwise and unsafe to stop development of lighter-than-air craft at this time. “Both lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air craft are inherently incomplete and young, and I do not think that this generation, or the next two generations, can say that either is impractical . . . “To stop today in development in lighter-than-air ships, in view of the lives lost and the money spent, to my mind would be a grave mistake. “I believe that lighter-than-air craft has a definite place in the future of aviation.” These words, coming from a veteran pilot who knows aviation as well as any man alive, and who has no reason to be prejudiced about it, are worth remembering. SAFEGUARDING THE PUBLIC TT is reported at Washington that the administration plans a thorough and complete overhauling of the feceral food and drugs law. Such action is needed badly and can be a real service to the consuming public. Stricter rules governing the labels of cosmetic and patent medicine preparations are among the changes contemplated. One change proposed would prevent a manufacturer from including in his copy the names of diseases unless his preparation was actually a specific cure for such maladies. We would get, under such a rule, no more of those concoctions warranted to be useful for everything from bunions to gallstones;

we would get no more “sure cures" for tuberculosis, cancer and pneumonia. Things, in short, would be on a much sounder basis. It is to be hoped that the administration goes through with its plan. . THE DEBS DEBOUCH LAST autumn the Junior League emerged into politics by voting 8,000 to 300 for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Now it has shouldered the musket of economic reform. Inspired by a speech of the picketing Mrs. Gifford Pinchot and possibly by a visit to Valley Forge, the league, at its annual convention in Philadelphia, passed a resolution. It urged “that the Junior League acquaint its members with W’age and working conditions that prevail in the factories, shops, and stores in their neighborhoods and to take an active part, through the molding of cfvic consciousness, to secure the eradication of such unhealthy and uneconomical conditions as may threaten the welfare of our citizens.” Whether driven by apprehension or sympathy or anew awareness of impending change, here is a praiseworthy action. The new debutantes apparently are finding a broader meaning for the word “social” than that of the tea variety. A NEEDED REFORM IT is worth noticing that the new’ securities bill just put through at Washington will make it unnecessary in the future for a senate committee to hold an expensive investigation to find out w’hat men were on the “favored lists" of firms like the House of Morgan. The new bill provides that any corporation w’hich sells stock at varying prices first must notify the federal trade commission, and the names of the “friends” who are permitted to buy below the market will be available to the newspapers. It seems likely that this will cut down on such extensions of privilege to a favored few. Deals of that kind do not thrive in the light of publicity. The new securities bill provides that light, and makes certain that it will be directed where it is most needed.

THE MOST UNKINDEST CUT r I ''HE Women's Christian Temperance Union has its national headquarters in Evanston. 111. Final count of last week’s balloting on repeal reveals that 10,511 Evanstonians voted to repeal the eighteenth amendment. 3,187 voted against repeal. Like the Brutus stab that laid great Caesar low, “this was the most unkindest cut of all.” The W. C. T. U. in a statement “regrets” that Evanston voted such a large majority in favor of repeal,” but promises to “continue our fight on the liquor traffic.” The W. C. T. LT. should know that its home town voted against prohibition, not against temperance. We can’t understand these, conflicting reports from Washington. First it was reported that Secretary Woodin would resign and then it was reported that he woodin. Los Angeles man who swallowed tack coughed it up in ambulance en route to hospital. Apparently he doesn’t smoke a certain brand of cigarets. “Many motorists seems to have no sense of right and wrong,” says a traffic expert. Yes, and we’ve seen a lot who seem to have a very poor idea of right and left. Universities are conferring numerous degrees this month, but we could dispense with a few of those that the weather man is conferring on us. Quite often a bridge player gets the most kick out of the game when playing opposite his own wife.

M. E.Tracy Says:

WATER covers three-quarters of the world's surface, but air covers it all. All of us know the great change brought about in human history by navigation. Common sense suggests that a greater change will be brought about by aviation. Whether this change means more permanent peace or more ruthless war is for men to determine. The great agencies which science is placing at their disposal can be used for either purpose. This is particularly true of the airship. In the end, airships will make for peace, because they will draw men closer together on the one hand and put terror into conflict on the other. In the initial stages of their development, however, the outlook is neither so clear nor bright. Like the g/own-up children that we are, we delight in playing with new toys, even to the point of death and destruction. The idea of air raids intrigues us. We put it in our imagitive works, our novels, plays and movies. We teach our children to wonder what dropping bombs on other people would be like, or how trying to elude overhead foes would make them feel. u a u IN a more serious vein, we forever are trying to figure out reliable defenses against attacks and whether we should wait for them to occur or strike at the source. Every time an airplane circles the world, you can depend on a crop of essays and editorials analyzing its significance in terms of strife. The most devilish feature of the airplane is the ease with which it can be converted from an instrument of commerce into one of destruction. Nations can go as far as they like in prohibiting the manufacture and maintenance of airplanes for war purposes, but as long as airplanes exist, the danger of their employment for war can not be eliminated. The airplane affords a vivid illustration of the futility of trying to prevent war through disarmament and of how necessary it is to make men want to live in peace before they will. The kind of tools we are allowed to usa is of far less consequence than the kind of use we want to make of them. Disarmament means little, except as it helps to plant anew thought regarding the relationship of people and governments to one another. tt tt tt THE peace problem is one of morals rather than of mechanics. Lack of modem weapons did not prevent our ancestors from becoming efficient killers. That in itself is enough to prove that something beyond outlawing of weapons is required. As to the airship, it can not be eliminated as a potential weapon unless it is abandoned as a vehicle of peace, and that is asking too much. The world will not give up airships because of the danger they represent in case of strife, yet as long as they are retained it will face that danger. They merely emphasize the self-evident truth that the only hope of peace lies in the development of a character which prefers peace.

Quoting your recent editorial, “The press is free to call attention to all scandals from persons, which require explanations, when suspected of an improper use of money or influence, etc.” In that spirit you would want your readers to know that anew racket which may help or hinder to sell stocks, bonds, or merchandise has come into existence. United States Senator Brookhart has called this the “Better Business Bureau Racket.” Quoting him, from the Congressional Record: “At the beginning of its existence for ‘Truth in advertising,’ ’lnvestigate before you invest’ they performed nobly and well and the public relied upon their advice. Now, they have become partners with big contributors from investment and advertising firms for selfish purposes. “Their bleeding the public through the sale of almost valueless stocks is directly tied by these brokers and better business bureaus to their attempt to dominate and control private industry and prevent the speedy return of normal business. “They usurp these powers for their own purposes which leaves them without any moral justification or quality.” Further quoting Senator Brookhart: “It would require days to enumerate the frauds perpetrated by Better Business Bureaus, showing the subversion of business by these bureaus and how, through its usurpation of government authority, the small independent industrialist has been blackmailed or made to feel the fangs of this country’s greatest racket. For every fraud dollar obtained from the public by a nonmember of the Better Busines§ Bureau and exposed, the public has been defrauded by thousands of dollars by bureau members, and the bureau chirped not a word.” Still quoting: “So this new racket and form of financial racketeering is fostered in this country by these agencies draped in sheep’s clothing and parading as public benefactors

Certain Diseases Bring On Gangrene = BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN .. .

INVESTIGATORS in medicine have begun to distinguish various diseases which in different ways bring about gangrene, particularly of the fingers and toes. Raynaud, the French physician who first described this condition, wrote about it in 1862. In the form called Raynaud’s disease, there never is a complete blocking of the circulation of blood to the limb such as occurs, for example, when a clot of blood blocks an artery which supplies a toe with blood and in that way causes gangrene. However, there may be spasms of the blood vessels sufficient to prevent a suitable blood supply. Moreover, in Raynaud's disease the gangrene is likely to appear on both sides, whereas in the other form of gangrene only one side is usually affected. Usually the condition begins with a sudden coldness and blueness of a finger or a toe, lasting from a

The question has been put by a boy who says he is timid before the brazenness of the young ladies in his crowd. Theoretically, there can be no doubt that when every woman conducts herself perfectly, every man will be obliged to, since he then can find no encouragement for mischief. But it is exactly as sensible to approach the matter from the opposite direction and insist that when all men behave properly, all women must do likewise.

The Big Dipper!

Keep the Machine Bv W. H. Richards: YOUR correspondent, Mr. McGinty, whose letter appeared in the issue of June 8. has the misconception of the labor situation that so many have. He says that a restriction should be put on the manufacture of any more machinery and that no more patents should be issued. The truth is that the machine has come to help us do our work, and lift the burden from the backs of the toiler, helping him to produce for his needs with less backbreaking labor. Surely, this is a blessing to mankind. Fallacy under which Mr. McGinty and many others are laboring is that work is what is needed. Not more bodily exertion, sweat and back-breaking effort is needed, but still more labor-saving machines than we have.

Reynaud’s disease seems to occur more often in women than in men. It was thought up to recent times that Euerger’s disease occurred only in men, but subsequently a few cases have been reported in women.

Much as I should like to see the girls a little more restrained, a little less aggressive, in their advances to boys, I do not believe the sole responsibility for decent morals should rest upon the woman.

The fault is that the machines are owned by an idle few who will not permit a wheel to turn unless it puts profits in their pockets. Let the machines be owned by the people collectively and used to produce for the needs of the people, with private profit to none, and each worker receiving the full social value of his toil and there will be no surplus and no suffering for want of the things we have produced in too great abundance. We have socialized our postoffice, police and fire departments, streets and highways, parks, libraries and the socialization of mines, railroads, factories and all other means of production and distribution would work just as well. That would be Socialism, and there is no other avenue open for our country to get out of the chaotic conditions which a collapsed capitalistic system had brought.

In one group of cases the symptoms disappeared for a period of five months, only to recur when the function apparently was taken over by other portions of the nervous system. As proof of the fact that the sympathetic nervous system has been cut off, exposure to heat of the portion affected will not be followed by perspiration. At the end of eight months, the perspiration develops after heat and at this time the symptoms of Raynaud’s disease also return. Nevertheless, the nature of the disease is so definitely progressive and its control so difficult that the operation is considered worth while in cases in which it may be attempted with a reasonable certainty of recovery. Sometimes a change to a warm climate gives relief to patients in the early stages of this disease.

One word of comfort I should like to leave with the timid young man, however, since he feels so downcast over the present situation. These loud, pushing, silly acting little girls are not all headed for disaster and probably are not so fatuous as they appear. Given the half of a decent chance for normal living, they will develop into exemplary wives and mothers. All youth is so effervescent that it must be accorded lenience. And very often this crass boldness covers up a tremendous fear, a vast engulfing dismay. Only those who are perfectly sure of themselves are ever entirely ca.m. And the girls of today, who face a future that is insecure, if not hazardous, are very far from beingsure of themselves.

It Seems to Me ’—BY HEYWOOD BROUN

NEW YORK. June 12.—Senator Huey Long, in his attack on the industry bill, made a plea for the “little molasses maker and the country sausage packer down in my country."’ It is quite true that the bill in question would serve to make big business bigger and to put one more obstacle in the way of the smallscale producer. But the little molasses man already is on the way out. Not all the Longs and the Borahs can put him together again. Economic forces far deeper and more powerful than any senatorial speech have sealed his doom. In fact, it was pronounced at the very beginning of the machine age. Weep if you will for the country' sausage packer, but let us make no vain attempt to turn back the clock to preserve his artistrv and integrity. a a a The Sins of the Small IT seems to me quite evident that the small business man played an important and a harmful role in the bringing about of the great debacle. Without minimizing the sins of the big fellow, it still may be held that the small-scale producer accentuated the mad rush to produce goods for which there was no market. No sort of planned production ever will be possible if any considerable part of an industry is to be split into small units. This is true of agriculture as well as of manufacture. A few economists still hold that a point may' be reached where industry becomes so large that It is clumsy. There is, of course, a human factor to be considered. Even a sound theory may be followed a little too rapidly for the comfort of those concerned. For instance. I think there is no doubt that Soviet Russia is on the right track in the formation of its giant collectivized farms. There have been ructions. The scheme doesn’t work yet as well as it will w'ork, but there isn't a chance in the world that Russia will turn back to the days of the mujik. In the same way. Senators Long and Borah may speak kind words for the molasses midgets, but, industry bill or no bill at all, these gentlemen are pronouncing funeral orations. The question is merely as to whether big business is to run wild or be licensed. Even our anti-trust laws are but popguns against economic inevitability. Once again congress is faced with the problem of whether it is going to think and act realistically or merely in terms of attitudes which may pick up votes back home. a a a Not Radical Change TT is impudent and misleading for J- any champion of bourgeois business to contend that; he speaks for the common man. He does no such thing. The worker has nothing to gain from the small entrepreneur. A higher standard of living and shorter hours and a shorter working week never can come out of the cutthroat competition of little fellows struggling one against another. . Even with the finest of good will, they are in no position to tide their employes over even a minor crisis. They manufacture from hand to mouth. Business, if any, comes in spurts, and all the worst features of seasonal occupations are emphasized in small-scale business. Large corporations are quite accurately said to be heartless, since they are run for profit and not for service. They are operated to pay dividends to their shareholders, and the management feels that its first obligation is to these collaborators, rather than to the public. But the owner of the small plant—Senator Long’s friend, the country sausage packer—is not only president, secretary, and treasurer of the concern, but also the sole bond and shareholder. His first obligation is to himself, and heaven help the man who gets in his way! As an employe I’d much rather take my chances with something as impersonal as General Electric or General Motors than be compelled to trust to the generosity of the man tackling a machine age with the weapons of 1860. He can t be generous, even if fee wants to, because he isn’t efficient. tt n n Days of Handicraft WILLIAM MORRIS and some of the Utopians of his age painted a delightful dream of a world which already was dying even as they celebrated it. They wanted every man to go back to the days of handicraft. It is easy to grow sentimental over the table or chair which never saw the inside of a factory, but was carved lovingly by the hand of the individual worker. That he did a good job is not to be questioned. And yet I wonder if he didn’t grow a little bored after the first twelve hours of toil in his right to artistry and rugged individualism. Indeed, I think the tipoff on the quality of radicalism in Senator Long and Senator Borah comes when a vital economic measure finds them fighting shoulder to sfeoulder with Reed of Pennsylvania. The little men of Louisiana may make excellent molasses, but any statesman w T ho gets himself mired in it up to the ankles has no right to be called progressive. iCoovrleht. 1933. bv The Times* Requiescat BY EUGENIE RICHART If our love is dying.
