WALL ST. DEAN HOLDS STEADY GRIP Changing Economic World Studied by F. A. Vanderlip

With thi* nation'! economic and financial tlrurture undergoing momentoui rhanre!. The Timet undertook to gather and oreaert the view* of representative Wall Street leaders in a series of articlea. of which this is the fourth. BY FORREST DAVIS, Timet Special Writer THE dizzily shifting currents in politics and economics—the depression, the Rooseveltian revolution in Washington, the tides of radical and reactionary opinion from Europe—have rjot bewildered Frank A. Vanderlip, a dean among first rate financiers in Wall street. Few leaders have applied themselves so intelligently to a study of this changing world. His curiosity has been unfettered. The first responsible cabitalist to examine into the technocracy heresy, he plumbed and rejected Howard Scott’s premises and rationalizations. He helped organize the committee for the nation and largely was responsible for its first report advocating an embargo upon gold, but he did not follow when the committee later urged a general guarantee of bank deposits. And today, in the midst of a mighty national effort toward recovery and a confusion of prophecy, Mr. Vdnderlip's research, cogitation and realistic discussions have led him to a mellow scepticism. Unalarmed by any course he finds ahead, the financier, onetime financial editor, assistant secretary of the treasury and head of the National City bank, himself declines the role of prophet. u a u THE stout views of any man who professes to chart the future deserve, in Mr. Vanderlip's opinion, the waste basket. This is no time for sooth-sayers and a decline in their numbers he finds to be a cause for gatification. Mr. Vanderlip's appraisal of trends in politics, finance, industry and agriculture are, if inconclusive. fruitful. He sees both sides of each issue and weighs them tolerantly. One generalization, I am informed, he permits himself. On that point he is firm. He holds that the overwhelmingly important need of the time is moral leadership; a t raining which would constrain mankind to avoid warfare and personal greed. He sees all about a moral bankruptcy more ominous than the economic breakdown, and with less hope of recovery. No sign of new moral impulses and he mistrusts attempts to legislate greed, mendacity and combativeness out of men. The eighteenth amendment failed, he notes, in the relatively trivial attempt to reform a country's vital habits. This is not an interview with Mr. Vanderlip. He prefers not to preach—lacking a specific text. He feels, I am told, as humble in the face of gathering world events as a boy who had just mastered the multiplication table would ifconfronted with an Einstein formula. His unwillingness to be definite grows out of an appreciation—profounder than most observer's—of the amazing complexity that surrounds even the least of the problems faced by the men charged with making anew world. What follows is an approximation of Mr. Vanderlip’s analysis of aspects of the general situation, based on views which I have verified to be his. nan MR. VANDERLIP. undismayed, regards the current dilemmas, the trends here and abroad toward anew order of economic life, anew state, as an unparalleled flux—and part of the most interesting revolution in history. We are, indubitably, engaged in a functional revolution in this country. It proceeds at an extraordinary pace; feeding on fresh perplexities and needs for action as it goes along. Within eight months the face of our order has been changed. The NRA and the agricultural administration are embarked on novel experiments. It is strange doctrine which dooms five milion little pigs to die to raise the price of pork and plows under, or sets aside out of production 40,000,000 acres of farm land. Contrary to the common sense of the past, yet defensible. he doctrine hinges on our tar.ff policy. If we are unwilling to buy from other countries, checking their consumption of our goods, and produce more than we can our-

Drainage Mania Basis of Continual Threat of Floods in State

Due to the interest in flood control The Times hs asked Wilitam F. Collins, conservation expert and national director of the lirak Walton League, to interpret the sitnation in his own words in four stories. This is the third of the series. BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Tlmfs Special Writer THE problem of floods and land erosion had been given a lustry birth when the drainage mania reached its height. Gene Stratton Porter fought her losing fight against it in the Limberlost. She went down in defeat as a visionary before the dredge advocates of Jay county. Our vicepresident. swinging a heavier ax eventually was responsible for the state law prohibiting the additional drainage of certain lakes in northern Indiana after he witnessed the destruction of one of the finest of Indiana's lakes north of his home town in Whitley county. If you remember, there was a time in the not too distant past when any farmer in Indiana having a natural lake on his land could accomplish its drainage. To convince yourself of the assininity of lake drainage, look at the partly drained lake in Whitley count yv that aroused Tom Marshall. It\

selves consume, the only way out may be to curtail production. The analogy is to an industry which produces more than it can dispose of until it faces ruin. The world seems bent on economic nationalism. This country appears to be headed the same way; toward a self-contained economy. Mr. Vanderlip has no especial trepidation about that current. The American people shan’t go hungry, in any event. Mr. Vanderlip has always mistrusted economic imperialism. The comingling of foreign loans and enterprise with national policy has often provoked wars and, at best, caused irritation. nan THE ideal would be a tranquil world with all parts trading advantageously with all others. But no one can say whether peace may not be promoted better by self-contained states. Culturally, the world might be more agreeable if we returned to the old pattern wherein each community preserved its costumes, folk ways and general culture and we were not being herded into an outward appearance of likeness. Mr. Vanderlip decidedly does not fear that ancient bogy, the machine. The machine, he holds, if bent to the uses of the race, spreads a Utopian vista beyond the old dreams of man. The problem is to determine how wisely to distribute the machine’s products so that well-being may be shared by all. Work in itself is not desirable; only the products of work. If a machine and one man can produce as much as ten men, no one need fret. The challenge is to find a way to put the produce of the machine and man at the disposal of the nine others and society—and not, above all, to manage the thing so that even the one man must go unemployed because he and the others lack consuming power. Mr. Vanderlip believes the recent search for anew invention which, duplicating the motor car’s economic triumph, might pull us

stands there, or what is left of it a sepulchral monument to the greed for more acres and more dollars. A wide sand and muck flat covered with weeds separates the old shore line from a stagnant. snapping turtle pool. An unsightly ditch partly completed through which most of the water in the lake drained out gouges the nearby ridge and now, the acres that were ‘'redeemed" are not fit for any purpose, for the storage of surplus water, for the pursuit of sport in fishing 6r for the raising of crqps. Drainage of the Thief Lake country in Minnesota created a \*st area of useless land that for years depressed its owners and roused to frenzy those sportsmen who had seen in it, first a storage reservoir that controlled the flood waters in Thief river and last a haven of refuge for thousands of wildfowl that knew no other breeding ground. a a a IT is well for you to know that restoration of the marshes at the headwaters of Thief river after fifteen long, uphill, fighting years by the Minnesota state division of the Izaak Walton League gradually restored the ability of the river to control its own floods.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1933

Frank A. Vanderlip

out of the depression, was unnecesary. ana AN old industry—the oldest—lay ready at hand to be exploited for that purpose. He refers to housing, a major activity since man cleared his first cave. There is no need to worry about the machine destroying mankind until every family lives tolerably according to the latest standards of convenience and comfort. The government profitably might have addressed itself to the monumental job of supplying adequate housing to all Americans; might have promoted the large scale building of model houses as an industry which might restore prosperity. To the objection that mass production houses are unaesthetic, Mr. Vanderlip replies that they needn’t be. Steel and glass houses might not be as aesthetically inviting as a timbered English cottage, with roses climbing over the windows, and leaky drains. But they would serve the modern temper and improve the quality of life for millions of people. Mr. Vanderlip is not certain that the NRA objective is economically attainable. But he finds himself in no conflict with the general theory that adequate wages must be paid. At one time he opposed firmly the doctrine that the world owes a man a living. The obligation was the other way around in his opinion. A man should put into the world more than he took out if w’e were to have social progress. He has, very largely, reversed himself. Too much can not be said for the thrifty sober, industrious worker who, through no fault of his own, finds himself deprived of the job about which his whole life —and the life of his family—is centered. So fully aware of the enormous practical difficulties in wage insurance, Mr. Vanderlip believes it is up to the modern State to safeguard worker's employment. n tt tx MR. VANDERLIP has expressed his views on gold. He is skeptical of a return to a world

Deforestation, the last of the unholy three in this triumverate of aggravation, had been progressing from the time the first Indiana settler hewed out logs for his shelter. A rational course of cutting timber never was followed any place in the United States; in fact, it never was contemplated that there was such a thing as rational timber cutting. There stool the timber, it belonged to me. it was either in the way or it was valuable. In either event it was removed. In 1933, township trustees with as little thought for the future as any one of our wasteful progenitors, turned the made work army loose on what? You may be sure it was not wortt of conservation nor of erosion prevention nor of flood control nor of any form of work to prevent waste or to built for the future. It was work to cut down timber. Travel down state highway 41. After passing Carlisle, look to the westward. Travel down any one of our multitude of highways and look about you. I will give you a dollar for every tree you see planted freshly if you will give me a penny for every one freshly cut. Deforestation is the last grisly spectre in the nightmare parade that has rocked us out of our fancied sleep of security into a

gold standard unless certain factors, laying a heavier burden on gold than it was calculated to carry under classical theories, can be altered. Formerly, gold was required, in theory, merely to balance international trade and support currency. Then, international ownership of securities became a complicating circumstance. Foreign owners could levy an effective demand for gold on a nation’s reserves quite apart from normal trade movements. Beyond that, the modern extension of the principle of liquid assets made it possible for timid capital to take flight from one country to another. These two latter factors are psychological. They tend constantly to unbalance gold relationships. Mr. Vanderlip expects the administration to accede to the demands for currency inflation. He is not nervous about that eventuality. Inflation is dangerous; but so, also, re forced liquidation of debtors, jj on the one hand, is a terrible fofee reaching into every man’s pocket and robbing him of a part of what he owns. But it is terrible likewise to force a great number of debtors to repay debts in a dollar Worth much more than they borrowed. Mr. Vanderlip sees no necessary analogy between prospective inflation in America and the disastrous course that Germany followed after the World war. But the experiment is always hazardous. For example, when people began talking about reducing the gold content of the dollar they urged revaluing at two-thirds the standard base. Measured in foreign exchange, the dollar now has declined by more than one-third and further inflationary tactics obviously will carry it lower. Inflation follows a progressive path. Mr. Vanderlip, at 68, active and a power in the Wall street he has helped shape for a generation, strikes a balance between proposals and trends. Sage and informed, his value as a counsellor has risen during a time which has seen reputations fall in windrows all about him. Next—The view's of another Wall street leader. Franklin Firm Gets Bridge Job Bergen & Bergen, Franklin (Ind.) contractors, were awarded work on the new bridge to be constructed on State Road 35 near Morgantown, it was announced at the statehouse today.

late awakening. An awakening that has brought into prominence such slogans as flood control, Roosevelt’s forest army and prevent erosion. . a a a WATER that falls as rain can not be stored by nature on a barren hillside. There are only two places where it can be stored, in a pond, lake or river spread, or in a forest. The capacity for water storage in a forest is enormous. In the porous loam of a forest floor, in the leaf mold of generations of trees and in the holes left by dead root stalks, we have a reservoir built by nature second to none other. We had to prepare ground for agriculture. There is no quarrel with that necessity. We had to drain land to rid it of surplus water if we expected to be economical in the process of converting air and soil into foodstuffs, and there is no argument about that. The quarrel lies in ‘he fact that we converted too much ground indiscriminately by drainage and deforestation into a lot of land that even at its best is mighty poor substance on which to produce grains, grass or roots. In Huntington, Wabash, Miami, Cass, Carroll. Tippecanoe and all the other counties to the mouth of the Wabash we have plowed land right to the water's edge. We

By Times Special MARION, Ind., Sept. 28.—Fearing his father's wrath because he had played “hookey” from school. Phillip Barkdull, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Barkdull, Marion, committed suicide Wednesday by shooting himself in the head on the railroad tracks near Marion. Later a freight train ran over his body. Accompanied by Orville Laughlin, 12, a playmate, young Barkdull went to visit an aunt in Sweetser instead of going to school Wednesday. On the way home, remorse overcome him and borrowing a pistol which young Laughlin had taken from his home said that he would shoot himself in the foot in an effort to divert his father’s anger. Standing on the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad near Marion, according to young Laughlin’s story, Phillip tried four times to shoot himself through a foot. “I guess I’ll try shooting myself through the head,” he is said to have told Orville, “and see what happens.” Raising the pistol to his temple he pulled the trigger and fell dead across the tracks. Young Laughlin fled. Two hours later, a freight train came along and ran over Phillip’s body.

have not only sowed the wind, we have sent an especial invitation to the whirlwind and it is now with us. If we could not become alarmed at anything but the loss of tax money, we can be alarmed highly at the annual loss of bridge structure in this state. When land is plowed to the water edge, there is not a solitary thing above the bridge abutment to stop flood cutting behind the pier. a a a IHAVE yet to see a washed out bridge where a heavy stand of timber appeared above the bridge. They go out where the soil has been plowed loosely above the span. Bridges cost from $2,000 for a little one, up to SBO,OOO for one of moderate size. I do not have the exact figures for this statement but I will hazard the opinion that the value of the bridges along the Wabash river equals the value of all of the land along the banks 500 feet back from the water edge, excluding town sites. The same is probably true of the White and Eel and the Salamonie and the other streams that contribute to our flood menace. Add to the value of the bridges, the cost of approaches and all other appurtenances, the cost to the public in detour after the bridge goes oub-and the total is a

Hoot Gibson

By United Press LOS ANGELES. Sept. 28.—Hoot Gibson, film cowboy, disclosed in court Wednesday that his sole wealth is 95 cents. Hailed before a ct mmissioner, the actor was questioned on his ability to pay a $2,500 note, signed four years ago. “I’ve been ill since last July and unable to work,” Gibson said. “I own a third interest in a ranch which is mortgaged for $60,000, and I owe SB,OOO in personal debts.” “Have you a bank account?” “No, I haven’t, and I have only about 95 cents on my person,” answered Gibson.

CHURCH JUBILEE WILL BE HELD Beech Grove Residents to Observe Twenty-Fifth Anniversary. The silver jubilee of the Holy Name Catholic church will be celebrated in Beech Grove Sunday. The Rev. Peter Killian, who for the twenty-five years of its existence, has been pastor of the church will conduct the regular services. A dinner and supper will be given by the men of the parish to the many former parishioners who plan to return for the event. When the Holy Name church was dedicated twenty-five years ago by the late Rev. Francis H. Gavisk, former pastor of St. John’s church of Indianapolis, it consisted merely of the rectory’, the upstairs of which served a congregation of forty members in their devotional exercises. The present church, which today has 600 members, was completed in 1922. It includes a parish school with a present enrollment of 300 pupils, some of whose parents have been under Father Killian’s guidance since he first began his work in Beech Grove a quarter of a century ago. Father Killian was instrumental in having St. Francis hospital located at Beech Grove. CROP CURTAILMENT IS CRITICISED BY JURIST Judge Martin Hits at Features of Roosevelt’s Program. Opposition to certain features of President Roosevelt’s program was voiced Tuesday by Judge Clarence Martin, former head of the Indiana supreme court, in a talk before the Mercator Club. Criticising the measures taken by the department of agriculture to curtail production of pigs, cotton and wheat, Mr. Martin said that the taxpayers can not afford to pay for things not produced. Production must be arranged so that America will be a self-contained nation, he said.

sizable sum bespeaking control of the river forest by the state. When we speak about flood control, the mind of the average individual immediately jumps to one word—levee. A levee to the informed is a makeshift used to prevent flood waters beyond control pouring over a river bank somewhere along its course and raising hell with whatever happens to be in its path. Asa man hard pressed in the path of a mad dog instinctively looks for a club the beleagured farmer in the path of a flood erects a levee and lambasts the water with sandbags. The place to catch the mad dog was when he showed the symptoms of tetanus, before he endangered- the lives of the populace. The place to catch the flood is at the headwaters before the escape of these waters grew too big to cope with. I always shall contend that flood water can be more effectively and economically controlled at the source than at the outlet. Catch it before it gets big. Confine it in its primitive basins if possible, or where that Is not feasible, create small basins along the headwaters and release it under control and you have done away with the necessity for and the terrific expense of huge and interminable levees.

NAZI LEADERS SEEK LIFTING OF BOYCOTT Confer With Polish Minister at Geneva: Concessions for Jews Talked. BERLIN TAKES ACTION Surprise Ruling in Favor of Non-Aryans Issued by Government. By United Press LONDON, Sept. 28.—Nazi leaders at Geneva conferred with Foreign Minister Josef Beck of Poland, in an effort to gain removal of the Jewish boycott on German goods shipped to Poland, it was learned on reliable authority today. Beck met with Constantine von Neurath, German foreign minister, and Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minister of propaganda, at Geneva, where they are attending the League of Nations assembly sessions, the United Press informant said. Beck said Jews in Poland might lift the boycott if Germany removes Jewish disabilities in Germany. The German leaders were quoted as replying that it was impossible to restore all the rights Jews held before the Nazi revolution last winter, but that the government might consider certain concessions in commercial and religious spheres. It was understood that nothing was agreed upon definitely, but mere discussions in this vein by German government officials was considered highly significant as the first semi-official indication of readiness by the Nazis to compromise on the Jewish problem in Germany. Issue Surprise Ruling (CoDvrißht. 1933, bv United Pressi BERLIN, Sept. 28. that the anti-Jewish boycott in Germany might be lifted partially was seen today in a ruling by the ministry of economics that discrimination between Aryan and non-Aryan business firms was “insupportable.” This ruling, opposed to those teachings of the Hitlerite creed designed to exterminate Jews as a controlling influence in the reich, said: “Such discrimination with the purpose of boycotting non-Aryan firms inevitably must lead to disturbances. Such a program of economic reconstruction will react unfavorably on the labor market. There is no grounds for procedure against any firm as long as the proprietor does not violate the law or the merchants’ code of honor.” The ruling, however, was followed significantly by a statement from the Nazi labor administration offices in the Rhineland, issued as a “last warning” and threatening police measures unless agitation for a boycott of Jewish-owned department stores ceased immediately. Terror Book Issued By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 28 —Horrifying facts relating to the persecution of Jews, intellectuals and Communists in Germany under the Nazi regime are related in “The Brown Book of the Hitler Terror,” prepared by the “World Committee for the Victims of German Fascism” and published today in this country. Lord Marley, chairman of the committee, declares in a foreword that “this book aims at keeping alive the memory of the criminal acts of the Nazi government.”

SUICIDE DROWNING IS HALTED BY RESCUER Negro, Despondent Over Domestio Troubles, Dragged From Creek. A Negro who attempted suicide early today by leaping into Fall creek from the Central avenue bridge was saved by a white man who jumped into the water and struggled for twenty minutes before effecting the rescue. The Negro, who said his name was Ed Cruse, 50, of 1624 Ogden street, told police that he had been despondent since his wife, Laura, left him several months ago. When he jumped into the creek this morning, C. C. Perkins of East Market street, who was passing, leaped into the water and swam to the drowming Negro. In Cruse's room, police found a note reading: "Last will and testament—My dear friend, Sonny Perkins—What little I have is yours. But be sure and give my wife the letter. Edward Cruse. By-by—will see you later.
