THE CAPITAL-LABOR TRUCE r I "‘HERE has been much unnecessary misunderstanding by capital and labor of the President’s proposal for an industrial truce. % Certaln employers jumped in with the interpretation that he meant that labor hereafter must take what it can get without appeal. Some labor leaders advanced equally fantastic interpretations, implying that the President plans to impose compulsory arbitration and revoke the basic right to strike. It should be clear to both sides that the President, even if he desires, has no power to abolish the collective bargaining law. As for the President’s desires, he has just put through a long delayed reorganization of NRA. He would not reorganize old agencies and create new agencies to enforce Section 7-A, and within the same week propose a truce of the type to abolish those labor law enforcement agencies. Far from throwing over those agencies, the President has appealed to capital and labor to make full use of them. He says, in effect, before you fight with lockouts, strikes and discriminations, give these governmental agencies a chance to settle your disputes fairly and peacefully. This Is a statesmanlike appeal. It is a just appeal. The employer or union unwilling to submit disputes to impartial government agencies established by law to enforce law, deserves, and probably will receive, no sympathy from the government or the public. In the last resort both capital and labor have the inherent right, when all else fails, to resort to industrial warfare. But no such industrial strife can be justified until the legally constituted machinery for peaceful settlement has been used honestly and has failed. We do not believe that the NRA labor agencies and the national labor relations board and subsidiary boards will fail to preserve industrial peace with justice unless capital or labor tries to wreck them. If these agencies are wrecked, the resulting industrial strife will be suicidal for both capital and labor—which means for the entire nation. NRA YET OFFERS HOPE TT seems to be the fate of this perplexed country' to move from one crisis to another. Each crisis seems, at the moment, to be the biggest and the most difficult yet encountered; each gets solved or at any rate passed by, only to lead up to another. These, possibly, are rather strong words to use in description of the latest twist in personnel and structure of the NRA. Yet this whole NRA effort has been, all in all, one of the most amazing and portentious experiments ever made by our government; and if it is not working out according to the original blueprints, it has attained a momentum that is carrying it on and on—and no one can do more than guess where it is going to wind up. We began with a great fanfare of trumpets, and some of the more enthusiastic saw the New Jerusalem, or something like it, coming down out of the clouds. Wages were going to be raised, prices were going to be raised, profits were going to be assured, men were going to be put to work, and chiselers were going to bleed and die, willy-nilly. So we got started. And little by little the bright colors faded. What looked simple, in the first flush of excitement, began to appear remarkably complex. Some men were put back to work, but the unemployment problem continued to grow. Some profits increased and others vanished. Some wages went up and others did not. Chiselers bled and died only sporadically, and not by platoons. So now we come to a great reorganization, under new leadership, and there is much disillusionment about it all. Yet it is worth remembering that certain definite gains have been made, in spite of all the confusion and all the disappointments; furthermore, there are still vast possibilities inherent in the NRA, and the gains we originally envisioned can still be made, if we want them badly enough. For the NRA. at bottom, was and is simply a common recognition of the fact that in a country as great and rich and intelligent as ours it ought to be possible to run business and industry so as to give everybody a breafc—wage-eamer. stockholder, and consumer. That fundamental premise is perfectly sound. Our first effort to accomplish it may not have been very successful; but the machinery remains, and by paying due attention to the mistakes of the past we should yet be able to realize a very substantial part of the rosy promises which we made ourselves at the beginning. LOST IN THE DISTANCE Ta TO more impressive examples of the rela•A Nl tlve effect of distance upon the human emotions can be had than those afforded by three recent disasters which cost a total of nearly 3.000 lives. To Americans, the one that struck home with most telling effect was the burning of the Morro Castle just off the New Jersey coast. Fire at sea is perhaps the mo6t horrible form of death human beings are called upon to face, and here was a case where 137 men and women were burned or drowned as the final episode of a gay holiday cruise and within only a few hours of home. The event struck horror into the hearts of all of us. It was so close and its victims were so familiar to us. Yet within the same month two much more heartrending tragedies have occurred, and It to doubtful whether either got more than casual recognition in our hones. In one case, a mighty typhoon swept out nf

the Pacific and over Osaka, Japan, and hurled nearly 2.000 men, women and children to their deaths. It tore up buildings and homes, and left more than 5,000 homeless and destitute. In the other case, an explosion sealed the opening to a coal mine near Wrexham, Waies, and doomed 260 miners to a death by fire and asphyxiation. Here were accidents far more disastrous than the Morro Castle fire, but because of their distances from us they seemed so unreal and Intangible. It is hard for us to realize the gravity and dread consequences of these distant disasters. Men, women and children deprived of their homes; families tom apart; wives, sons and daughters left mourning and alone; thousands without further means of support. At the same time the Lindbergh case breaks again, a suspect is arrested and the whole story of the fatal kidnaping of more than two years ago is revived. So gripping was that tragedy and so beloved its principal characters that it has become the chief topic of conversation in most homes of the country. But while we are so engrossed in our own affairs, we seem to lose regard for those of distant peoples, and the farther these peoples are from us, the less do they affect us. Perhaps that Ls only human, for it would seem a sorry task to take the whole world’s disasters equally to heart. CHEERS FOR CCC NEITHER martial airs nor w'aving flags proclaimed this week the beginning of the civilian conservation corps’ fourth “campaign,” yet the nation owes much to this peace-time army. In seventeen months the corps has cost $443,000,000. From the facts, as stated in Director Fechner’s second report, this is money well spent. Its record for human conservation stands high. It has given direct employment to 850,000 young workers, paid $113,000,000 in relief funds to their families, helped industry by buying $256,000,000 worth of supplies and services. Throughout the coming winter about 350.000 checks aggregating $7,500,000 each month will be sent these forest soldiers’ needy families. Its record for forest conservation stands equally high. Despite the drought and increased fire hazards, fires in the 163,000,000 acres of national forests have been held down. Except for one serious conflagration in the Mesa national park, damage has been almost negligible. The CCC boys put in more than 1,000,000 man days last summer fighting fire. In its seventeen months of service the corps built 34,570 miles of truck trails and 23,000 miles of timber breaks; fought rodents over 7,000,000 acres and insect pests over 1,000,000 acres; erected 609,000 check dams for erosion control; cleared 1,000,000 acres of forest underbrush; planted 150,000.000 trees in denuded areas. So effective has been the corps’ insect fighting that the American Forestry Association urges the President to draft it to war on the Dutch elm disease. “The President’s hobby,” this corps is called. The money congress voted for this hobby has paid big dividends in forests and in human health and hope. DIMMED TORCHLIGHTS TT is interesting to note that the earnest young Democrats of Hastings, Neb., were unable to hold the old-time torchlight parade they had planned—because they couldn’t find any one in town w'ho knew how to make the old-time torches. Interesting—because it exemplifies a sweeping change that has come over American politics. There w-as a time, still within memory of an aging generation, when a political campaign without a torchlight parade just w'asn’t a campaign at all. People took their politics with an intense, nervous seriousness in those days. Campaign processions were colorful and boisterous affairs. And now they can’t even find any one w'ho knows how to make the torches! IN LINE OF DUTY r T"'HE news that 137 doctors, nurses and laboratory workers in Los Angeles were stricken with infantile paralysis, during their fight against an outbreak of the disease, is a grim reminder of the fact that these people very often undergo risks which the layman does not dream of, in their effort to save the lives of others. In some epidemics the doctor and nurse can be protected by serums or vaccines. In others, however, there is no certain protection. Doctor and nurse must take their chances with everybody else—and, of course, by going into sickrooms daily, and undermining their resistance through overwork, they simply increase the danger to themselves. It is a thing worth remembering. It is too easy to overlook the quiet, unassuming heroism that members of the medical and nursing professions are constantly displaying, day after day, in the performance of their duties. A BLUFF IS CALLED ' | 'HE “soap gun” attempt to escape, staged by death house convicts in the Ohio state penitentiary at Columbus, 0., is another proof of the bluff and bravado by which the underworld has cowed society. Dillinger and his wooden pistol w'ere the first symbol of this gangster philosophy. But it was enough to prepare organized society for a similar occurrence and to crash down upon the hoodlums fearlessly and ruthlessly. Only by such action as that displayed by the riot squad in the Columbus jail, in thwarting the jail break led by Dillinger’s pals, can the underworld be made to realize that society intends to call its bluff. And only by such vigilance can all of us feel more secure in our homes. A Michigan professor was rolled in the mud by members of a fanners’ union who thought he was a "milk spy.” Don’t mistake this for the political pastime of mudslinging. Football season is coming. So senators should get all their investigating committees gomg strong now while they can still get front page publicity. An Illinois candidate for congress says the United States has gone back to the town crier days. We should say so—six of them on every comer. Peace should forget disarmament long enough to negotiate a pe.ice treaty within the J. J. Astor family. t i .

Liberal Viewpoint —BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES-

'T'HE New Deal has been in operation more A than a year. The time has arrived when It not only Is possible to write a history of its achievements, but also to make at least a tentative appraisal of its character and prospects. Such is the purpose of Louis M. Hacker in his excellent “A Short Story of the New Deal” (Crofts. $1.75). Mr. Hacker, as co-author of the best one-volume history of the United States since the Civil war, is admirably prepared, by his earlier studies, to appraise the New Deal as the latest stage in the evolution of American society. Nowhere else have I read so intelligent a brief characterization as the following paragraphs: “Obviously the New Deal has been neither revolutionary nor counter-revolutionary. Its rationale may be stated in the following group of propositions: “The New Deal has recognized that the American economy has slowed down and that the forces within it no longer are in equilibrium. Opportunities for capitalist enterprise have contracted—the population has ceased expanding, there are no new' great industrial fields to be opened up, oversea markets have been shut off by high tariff walls or are already being closely worked by hostile imperialist nations—and capitalism actually is confronted by a fall in the rate of profit. “Control has shifted from industrial capitalism to finance capitalism (with the emphasis therefore no longer on legitimate economic expansion, but on the exploitation of investors and the w'recking of properties); the spread between capacity to produce and ability to consume constantly widens; imperialism reveals its inability —without deadly international warfare —to provide all the needed outlets for surplus capital. The world market for our agricultural products has largely disappeared and a decline in farm land values has set in.” i nun "\JOT on ly have new jobs for white-collar and professional workers virtually become non-existent,' Mr. Hacker continues, “but there is a surplus rather than a dearth of industrial labor as well. Class lines have been drawn clearly; the danger of class hostilities no longer is remote, but already in evidence. “Under the conditions of a free market, the owners of the means of production, because of their greater strength and organization, could continue to maintain themselves, perhaps for a long time, but their security would depend upon the steady debasement of the standards of living of the other classes in society. “This, it must be plain, eventually would lead to the creation of conditions favorable to either revolution or counter-revolution, but the philosophers of the New' Deal, abhorring the thought of violence and having no conscious class interests of their own, have refused to agree that the mechanism has run down. They will wind it up again and, having done that, will suspend in balance and for all time the existing class relations in American society. “The private ownership of the means of production is to continue, but capitalism is to be stopped from exploiting, on the one hand, the producers of its raw' materials and, on the other, its labor supply. Agriculture, despite its overcapitalized plant and its virtual restriction to the domestic market, is to get a large enough returh to allow for the meeting of fixed charges and the purchase of capital and consumers’ goods.” an a “117 AGE earners, although in a machine VV economy there are too many of them in the white-collar and laboring groups,” he adds, “are to be assured employment and at least, means of subsistence, if not incomes conducive to a decent standard of living. “The New Deal, to put it baldly, assumed that it was possible to establish a permanent truce on class antagonisms. The device it was going to use was the restoration of purchasing power through the application of an idea known to antiquity and the middle ages—the just price. Class antagonisms were to be charmed away by the use of the magic device of the just price, that is to say, a higher price level, all around.” At the conclusion of his valuable work, Mr. Hacker is of the opinion shat the New’ Deal has not worked out satisfactorily. The main reason is that the President has not been willing to move rapidly enough or far enough to bring about that indispensable mass purchasing power upon which any recovery under capitalism must depend. Facing the various roads which Mr. Roosevelt possibly may take—inflation, Fascism or imperialism. Mr. Hacker inclines to the belief that we are likely to flirt with industrial and financial imperialism, thus running into the grave danger of a foreign war.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

THE Spanish embassy gallantly feted the Mexican and American army polo players with hot tamales and three kinds of sherry (not to mention cocktails, fourteen different kinds of sandwiches, olives and smoked ham) after the last of the international polo series. The Mexicans were beaten on the field, but they recouped wonderfully with the aid of hot tamales. Dr. Gonzales Roa, the Mexican ambassador, and his very pretty nieces, the Senoritas Chico (one of them in a smart and vivid green dress) were among the honor guests. General Billy Mitchell, ex-air corps chief, marched about in a tweed coat, talking polo, horses, hounds, hunting and munching Smithfield ham. The alligators which once swam in the embassy fountain have passed away, but a group of goldfish gazed with goggle eyes at the clinking medals and stars on the breast of General William Horton. The general far outstrips any goldfish. Genially, he passed with clinking decorations and his pleasant smile, exclaiming: “Delightful day, wasn’t it?” The Mexicans didn’t quite agree, but they took it bravely. It must be admitted that the polo field was soggy from rain and that the Mexican ponies do not react well to the Washington altitude. Mexicans play polo on reeky fields and in a bracing climate. tt tt a JOVIAL Ray Baker, former director of the United States mint, arrived in Washington as bright and prosperous looking as newly minted coin. Exuberantly, Mr. Baker hailed friends whom he met in the lobby of the Mayflower. In one hand he swung with jaunty assurance an ivoryheaded stick. A smartly striped shirt covered his expansive chest. One acquaintance, dazzled by the brilliance of Ray’s diamond scarf-pin, exclaimed: “Why, good Lord, Ray! I saw in the papers that you were ‘broke’ out in Reno.” Ray laughed throatdy, replied: “Did you ever read anything more amusing? Fm still in my house. Come and see me." Far from “broke,” ex-Director Baker has been strenuously campaigning for Senator Key Pittman (whose re-election he regards as “in the bag”), expressed enthusiasm for the New Deal, declared he is shortly to return to Nevada. B B B LOST— A black cat with violet eyes and a pair of white whiskers. Thus, the Gerard Walravens of the Belgian embassy bemoan the loss of their pet “Agapita,” which disappeared mysteriously the other day. Gerard, who is almost as fond of felines as the late Ambassador Amaral of Brazil (who had eight cats) made loud complaint. “A black cat! A black cat!” he informed the janitor of his apartment house. “I’m offering a reward.” The janitor went out and told other janitors. The gathering of janitors collected various black cats. These they brought triumphantly to Gerard. “Meow! Meow!” went the cats. But none of them was the famed “Agapita" (named after the Aga Khan). So the janitors and their finds have been put outside and Gerard bewails bis loss in silence.

(Time* reader* are invited to express their views in these oolumns. Slake your letters short, so all can have a chance. lAmit then to 250 words or less./ a a a ANSWER MADE TO OLD TIMER By a New Dealer. The only answer to Old Timer in Monday’s Message Center is that his groans are more futile than he imagined the promises of the President to be. There always have been those who in time of disaster will rob bodies of the victims, but that does not give cause for belittling the efforts of the rescuers and the acts of heroism that always are in evidence in an emergency. That some graft and crookedness or some inefficiency creep into public efforts is a sad fact and accounts for the same bad trait of human character as that which shows itself in denying the economic improvements which are in evidence in our country today and of which those connected with various industries have daily proof if they are too skeptical to accept the published reports. The destructive criticisms of those who are prejudiced have the effect of interfering with and somewhat delaying the work, but they can not entirely hinder progress of which they themselves now are or will in the future reap benefits in spite of their lack of co-operation. The statements of Old Timer and similar ones by others are perhaps due to the fact that their own business or trade has not as yet felt the benefits of recovery and that they can not or will not see beyond their own little circle to find out what actually is going on. 000 BELITTLES REVERING CAPITALISM. By a Student. The committee for the nation has estimated that the depression has cost American capital and labor more than $108,000,000,000 so far. This does not include the depreciation of property, caused by neglect to make repairs and ordinary upkeep. The misery and suffering cost can hardly be less than the dollar cost. It is funny that this hit-and-miss system of economics, known as capitalism, should be cherished and revered as a sacred institution, much like the sacred cow of India. Instead of ascribing infallibility to the system, we ought to note the tremendous failures the system has recorded throughout its history. American history is strewn w;th the wreckage of the system. Add to the cost of its failures, the cost of the wars resulting from its operation through international conflict. Wars aie the direct result of economic conflict and chargeable as part of the cost of operating under the capitalistic system. If we could find a more expensive way of creating our wants, it would be hard to find such a way. The motive for industry under capitalism is profit; service is merely incidental. The economic history of our country shows that what we assume to be profits of industry turn out to be debts, represented by borrowings for capital structure, better known as stocks, bonds and mortgages. Invariably throughout all depressions, these profits have turned out to be sour grapes in that they were largely washed up through the collapse of consumer buying power, and coa-

Co-Operative Economic System Favored

By C. A. Chambers. The co-operative movement has grown fast in the last ten years in the United States and I believe if this country was on a co-opera-tive basis there would be better livings for all of us. If we would buy and sell cooperatively, we could cut the cost of living because we could get away from the middle man, and he is the one who holds up prices. In a co-operative store you and I own part of it because we do our buying there. This store is owned and operated by those who patronize it; therefore, the store would be operated for the benefit of us instead of the storekeeper or some moneyed man perhaps 1.000 miles away. The profits that are made in this store are given back

sequently took a bath in bankruptcy and capital reorganization. Instead of looking at the record with a view of organizing an intelligent economic system which would give us continuous prosperity, we merely deny that anything better could be organized. We are gluttons for punishment. We have intelligence enough to organize our individual business enterprises, but fail to organize our collective energy to prevent waste of capital and labor. When we reach maturity economically, capitalism will go. B B B RISES TO DEFENSE OF WORKING WIFE By a Rea'der. I am the writer of the article in criticism of “The Man on the Street,” published several days ago and I notice in The Times of Tuesday that J. P. B. tried to put me in my place. Well, the shoe didn’t fit and I would like to remind him that this isn’t the time “When Mother Was a Girl.” Then, if daughter didn’t have sufficient worldly goods to “buy” a good husband, “ma” and “pa” would supply the wherewithal. If the family was not well-to-do, the daughter could have a family of children in an insanitary home and nobody would say anything about it for everybody was far too busy clearing land, and building up business to worry’ about too many people to take care of in the world. If the children were a little dirty and with rundown shoes, the charity institutions of the city bothered not at all, for everybody recognized the fact that the family was having a hard time and let it go at that. But not so today. You must provide sanitary living quarters for a family, provide plenty to eat, be able to drive a car or have enough left from the grocery, rent and utilities, to pay carfare for a husband who probably works across the city, for its a cinch he couldn’t walk, or lose any self-respect that you might ever have possessed. No, J. B. I don’t think you ever have seen much of any side of life except the rosy one where "nature took care of the fact that the function of a married woman is to bear and rear children and take care of her home and her family.” Maybe you do earn a sufficient salary to take care of your wife and children. Then more power to you, but there are probably a lot far more deserving men in this city who are unable to do this and I don't think they lose one lota of their wife’s respect. n|r does she /

to the purchaser. This way the more you spend, the more you get back. I know’ of one co-operative service station in Indianapolis at 610 Kentucky avenue. I do my purchasing there because I receive part of the profit made at the station. This is why I believe that the country would be better off and you and I would have more if we had co-operative buying and selling in the United States. There would be no man with all the money and you and I without a penny. The co-operative organization gives back to the consumer the profits where the others give it to the one who owns the business* and it goes in his pocket. I think time will bring all of us under the co-operative movement.

lose theirs in working, to help save for the future. Work is work, and that old marriage vow',*“love, honor and cherish,” doesn’t state just how that is to be done. Another thing I would like to call to your attention is the fact you say “women will work for less,” because that is not true. I earn more than most of the men I have come in contact with who are employed as office workers, with exception of those employed in executive capacities. Another thing. If you will investigate juvenile court cases you will find the children involved are not those with working mothers, but those with idle mothers who, in their idleness, find many other things more deserving of attention, in their estimation, than the care of their children. A few' of those more interesting things would be “whether or not the working married woman has helped to cause our economic condition” and “whether we should send money to foreign countries to educate the heathens.” A mother who is a former working married woman is far more understanding, sympathetic, and thus more capable of rearing children, than any other, and I should know. 000 CITES ABUSES IN RELIEF WORK By Wilt H. Crai*. The weakest part of government relief is proper control. The time to give relief and to whom, are questions of vital importance. In the north less should be needed in summer than winter. In some states of the south the reverse is true. ■While in Florida, last winter, I watched the civil works administration. The waste was a and the time for relief was not at hand. The winter season is the busy season with raising vegetables for the north and picking and shipping citrus fruits. There was no need for government help, but the CWA butted in with w’orthless projects to the injury of legitimate business. Men employed regularly in factories and on farms at 25 to 30 cents an hour quit their jobs to go on part time public works to loaf at 40 cents an hour. Some truckers and packers were hard pressed for labor. One packer said he lost 30.000 bushels of tomatoes because, he could not get labor to pick them. A man from a lumber camp came into a city for fifteen hands; he could not get them. They were loafing on the government. The relief should have been given in the summer, the dull season. The north is not free from the

spoiled laborers on the dependent list. Some days ago at •Sheridan, Irid., when tomatoes were ripening fast, a grower came to town seeking men to pick tomatoes. It is reported that he approached forty-two nien before he got a dozen. They were afraid to get off the dependent list. There is no doubt of the abuses and scandals in relief. Politicians are appointed as managers and their first and important business is to provide fat jobs for relatives ajid friends. The move of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce to give old age pensions only to the needy should apply in government relief work, both as to so-called skilled and unskilled workers. And why not apply this rule to all pensions? That was the position of Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt when they vetoed the pension graft bill. Why should a Spanish-American War veteran who spent sixty dgys at Jacksonville, Fla., be receiving a pension thirty-six years later? , Why should a World war vetertm who served a few months in camps receive a pension for some ailment not in any way connected with war service? Why should veterans receiving large salaries as government official also receive pensions? BBS l “HICK” PRACTICES IN CITY ENUMERATED By F. S. Greenlraf. An editorial in The Times about the time of the annual Speedway race here regarding “hick” management on the part of some official.or officials gave me the idea to run a “spot” under caption “Hooker Hicks” or “Hoosier Hick-ories,” with sketch. In Indianapolis, persons line up across the entrance of a public building or large business building and stand there conversing while others get in or out of the door the best way they can; they will stand in a circle in the middle of a sidewalk on a busy street and talk. There are so many such Hooker practices in Indianapolis that calling public attention to them might eliminate some of them.
