EUROPA. WHAT NOW ...? HAKEN as if by a great earthquake, Europe today is groping her way through the debris of old alliances and ententes, wondering when reconstruction will begin and what the new structure will look like. That the little entente—composed of Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Jugoslavia—is, for all practical purposes, dead | and buried. there can be small doubt. The Siegfried Line, Germany's Maginot Line in the Rhineland, materially lessens French influence throughout central, eastern and southeastern Europe. 3v the same token, the Franco-Polish alliance has been weakened. if not fatally stricken, while the future of the | Franco-Russian alliance is more than ever in doubt. Never very popular in France save among the extreme leftwingers, the tie has been greatly weakened during the past few weeks. What is to take the place of these damaged or demol- | ished edifices so laboriously erected by European diplomacy | during the last 20 years depends on seven men—DMessrs. | Chamberlain, Hitler, Daladier, Mussolini, Stalin, Emperor | Hirohito and President Roosevelt, or their spokesmen. Already the first four are showing signs of wanting | to patch up old differences. If they can do so, and if in | addition they can bring about a friendly working agreement with their neighbors to the east, the appeasement of | Europe will be in sight, and with it arms limitation and economic collaboration along lines the American Secretary of State Cordell Hull has been working on for so long. But, first of all, Germany will have to quit persecuting important sections of her own population, halt preparations for the subjugation of the rest of Europe and take her old place in the community of peaceful nations. As long as she behaves as she has been for the last five years, neither she nor the rest of the world can ever | get back to normal times. She cannot borrow a nickel in | the United States, Great Britain, France or the Soviet | Union because they know she wants money for war preparations. Her friends, Italy and Japan, have not a nickel to lend. Hence her foreign trade must continue on a barter basis, which is proving increasingly harmful not only to other countries but to herself. What is needed, therefore, is first a European peace plan: second, arms limitation and, third, a world economic | and monetary understanding. Then the German people | could quit eating ersatz bread and butter, riding on ersatz rubber and living generally as if they were in a stage of
| |
siege. Given the situation in Europe, therefore, President Roosevelt and his able Secretary of State are in a position to wield tremendous influence. Indeed, they are key men. | The President, better than any other, might start the arms | limitation ball rolling. Once that is out of the way, the economic and trade program of Secretary Hull would follow | almost as a matter of course.
A WORTH-WHILE EFFORT HE vast majority of WPA workers are God-fearing, | hard-working law-abiding people, trying to do the best | they can in a troubled world. They are not loafers and | irresponsibles, as some would have you believe.” New York City’s WPA administrator, Lieut. Col. Bre- | hon B. Somervell, made that statement il announcing a new effort, planned with the help of 20 leading industrial- | ists, bankers and labor leaders, to overcome employers’ | prejudice against persons from the work-relief rolls and to | lift the morale of those persons. May the effort succeed! A great many thoughtful citizens are gravely concerned | ahout the WPA program. This is not, primarily, because | of its enormous cost. It is because of fear that the spending of billions on work-relief is not maintaining the self-respect of the unemployed and their ability to get back to private jobs, hut in fact is tending to destroy their hope and their desire of returning to normal employment. | The effort just announced by the New York WPA was prompted by a survey which seems te us to show that this basis. Almost all of the employers questioned admitted a prejudice against hiring people who have heen on WPA, Most of them believed that WPA is doing poor work and costing too much money, though many had igated the subject carefully. And, as Col. Somerints out, this attitude among employers makes WPA | , in too many cases, feel like hopeless “underdogs.” won't attempt, here, to go into all the reasons why any employers should have that attitude. We believe those who head the WPA are, themselves, partly to So are careless critics of WPA who shoot at its scatter-guns and injure not so much those the policies as the humble men and women who draw work-relief wages. And so are millions of thoughtlessly cruel citizens who, without accurate personal knowlabout the in-

Some Pointers for the New Public Stock Exchange Representatives.
EW YORK, Oct. 3.—When the New York Stock Exchange chose William McC. Martin as its |

posed for election, and the Board of Governors has
| elected, under the new constiutions, three members to. | represent the public.
The three men selected by Mr. Martin are excellent choices. President Hutchins of Chicago University is an He is frank and can be depended upon to look with a candid eye | Gen.

customers, he is well placed to take the public point of view. Mr. Carl C. Conway, also a corporation executive, played a leading role in the reformation of the Exchange’s organization. { The Stock Exchange is and has been since its | organization a body of men banded together under strictly private auspices to manage the country’s securities market. For years its members believed the
| securities business was their business and that the | public was just an interloper when it dared to advise |
or criticize or attempt to limit it. But the truth is that this institution, which is the market pace for the securities of all the great corporations of the | nation, is primarily a great public institution. And | no members of the governing hoard should be heard

| A Mystery to the Professidnal |
{ The new members might do well to remember that this business of the exchange, with its many mys-
| terious functions, so little understood even bv pro-
fessional financiers, is something they do not know much about. They are called on now to take part in the management of one of the least understood fields of economic life. They must keep in mind something el#: that is that while the exchange has made a great stride forward in the reorganization which changed its constitution and brought Mr. Martin to the presidency, the actual job of reforming its practices is yet to be done. Exchange practices which need change fall into two groups. One group is designed merely to ensure a fairer game on that great floor. The other group is designed to make the exchange fit better into the economic life of the country. The first group is to make the exchange a more honest playing field for those who buy and sell stocks. The other group is designed to make it a more useful instrument for the |

| the world is moving into the lull of the hurricane. But | can use be made of an interlude or will the second half | of the hurricane threaten even more destruction than
the first? It seems to me that the lull may well be tragie unless the nations of the world, and America in particular, learn the clear lessons of the present crisis. I say with an even deeper conviction than ever before that we should now realize that the way of isolation is the way of war, destruction and death, When it was first announced that President Roose= velt had sent messages to Benes and to Hitler, pleading for a negotiated peace, I expressed the hope that there would be universal support in America for his action. It was not unanimous, but it came close to that. A few of the hardshell isolationists held out, seemingly maintaining that even war would be better than any American recognition of the existence of a world beyond the Atlantic. There was no hint in the Roosevelt messages then, or later, of any intent upon the part of America to use force as a recourse. I have always assumed that pacifists believe in a

unwillingness to support the President in suggesting It is quite true that the -

There's Work to Be Done
Frankly, T do not see how a just peace or even tem porary tranquillity can be secured if the affairs of Europe are to be controlled under a four-power pact in which at least two nations have by no means abandoned aggressive ambitions. In the lull we can work to create a family of nations and develop methods for the marshaling of world opinion.
It seems to me that only just now have we begun
to appreciate the value of new methods of ecommuni-
cation. Indeed, it seems tc me, that whether this be peace or a lull, it has been won by radio and Roosevelt, Hitler's speech, as broadcast from Berlin, did more to consolidate opposition to fascism than any other single factor in our time. Forty-nine countries in the League of Nations Assembly voted unanimous support of the position taken bv Roosevelt. I only hope that he will receive the sane measure of support in his own country,
Watching Your Health

Jy 1905 two books and two extraordinary individuals gave to the United States its first pure food and drug legislation. The books were ‘The Jungle,” by Upton Sinclair, and the “Great American Fraud,” by Samuel Hopkins Adams. The first of these volumes dealt with the in sanitary conditions in the food industry, and the sec- : ond with the gross abuses that existed in the sale of patent medicines. The individuals who assumed leadership were Harvey Wiley and Theodore Roosevelt, The result of this combination was the adoption of
the Food and Drugs Act of 1906. At that time modern advertising had not even he- J

Thus the Food and Drugs Act of 1906 concerned only & limited number of proprietary medical products, involved only the control of interstate and foreign commerce, and was concerned only with the label on the product and the package. Purthermore, that act gave the public no protection from new untried products. Some vears agn it became obvious that reform was necessary. Then in 1933 appeared the Copeland Food, Drugs and Cosmetics bill, largely supported by the Food and Drugs Administration, the President, and his advisers. The most significant aspect of the proposed legizlation was the extent to which it attempted to con. trol advertising apart from the label on the package. During the last session of Congress, two bills were’ passed which seem to provide a vast improvement over previous attempts in relationship to the protection of the pub These were the Wheeler-Lea bill, which gave the™¥ederal Trade Commission jurisdiction over the advertising of foods, drugs, devices and cosmetics, and the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
