SIGNS OF THESE TIMES By Dudley A. Smith A great human document has been written by the Democratic Party in National Convention assembled. It is the Democratic Platform of 1938, described by Josephus Daniels, Wartime secretary of Navy under Woodrow Wilson, as being the “American Magna Carta of 1936.” Indiana is proud and honored that Hoosier Young Democrt, Wayne Coy, 32-year old head of W. P. A. and acting director of the new state department of Public Welfare, had a hand in the writing of thig document.

Mr. Coy, a graduate of Franklin College and owner of the Delphi Citizen a -staunch Democrati:z weekly paper of Carroll County, was a member of the National Convention sub-committee on Resolutions which actually drafted the 1936 platform. He was placed on that committee because of hig intimate knowledge of President Roosevelt’s program for Social Security and Works Religf. In fact, Governor Paul V. McNulit, as chairmman of the Indiana delegtion, landed him the ssignment after a conference with Presidet Foose velt at the White Houcse.

The social security and unemployment;, planks in the Democratic piatform are brief but to the point. They waste no words. Here 'is the plank on Old Age and Social Security “We have built foundations for the security of those who are faced with the hazards of unemployment and old ; for the orphaned, the crippled and the blind. On the foundation of the Society Security act we are determined to erect a gtructure of economic security for all our people making sure that thig benefit shall keep step with the ever-increasing capacity of America to provide a high standard of living for ali its citizens.” '

The handling of C. W. A. food distribution and direct relief benefits in Indiana by the Governor’s. Commission on Unemployment Relies, under Wayne Coy, was so efficient, low of cost, practical and humane, that when it came time for Persident Rioosevelt to work out the succeeding program for the Works Progress Administration and the expenditure of severa! billions of dollars appropriated for job relief over the nation, the White House put in a e¢all for Wayne Coy. Some do not remember, but Mr. Coy was at the elbow of President Roosevelt and Harry L. Hopkins, national rellef administrator, for two weks, writing the rules for administration by States of the large works-relief fund.

The Unemployment plank says, in part: “We believe that unempleyment is a national problem and that it is an inescapable obligation of our Government t 6 meet it in a nationgl way—we shall continue to maintain that the first objective. of a program o feconomic security Is mximum employment in private industry at adequate wages.” Also, that men not employed. by industry are entitled to work at prevailiag wagce on useful public projects such as wil! increase national wealth, utilized the skill and energy of the worker, maintain hig morale and assurs him an opportunity, to earn the neces-

sities of life. Contributions to the Naticnai Demo

cratic platform made by Wayne Coy came from a background of three and a half yearg of experience with the employment relief nd social welfare problms of Indiana. As under-secre-tary to Governor McNutt in early 1933, Mr. Coy also was 'se:retary to the Governor’'s Commission on Unemployment Relief. This mission at the very beginning became the State-Federal agency for the administration of poor relief and re‘employmet projects set up by the President. The first was ‘the Civil Works Administration, under which Indiana set the pace for the nation by finding employment for 80,600 per sons in the darkest days of 1933.

Besides being WPA dire:tor for Indiana, Mr. Coy hag been regional

director for seven states surrounding Indiana. A few days ago he was made traveling representative and “trouble shooter” for Administrator Hopkins, ready for assignment to any relief problem existing in " the United States. At the Natiogal Convention, he was the voicz of the President and of Mr. Hopkins on recommendationg to tbe Platform comnmittee. With all his national »romfnence, Mr. Coy still is Governor Mc‘Nutt’s right-hand man on the Indiana Unemployment ~ Relief Commission ang is the head of the largest department of state government, the new Department of Public Welfare es !tablishe'd by the 1936 gpecial legislature under the merit system.

If the Democratic National Platform of 1936 is the ‘“American Magna Carta” of this day, then InIndiana historions caa mark it down that a youthful Hoosier statesman by the name of Cov wrote into thig Great Charter of - American Freedom the paragraphs of primary importance to 130,000,000 Americans -those on Social Security ~and Usefnl Employment. :

Bonus Boosts Money Cireulation

Money in circulation rose 125 millions last week ag the United States treasury paid out bonus funds to veterans, it was disclosed by the weekly report of the {ederal exreserve board.

In the last two weeks money in circulation has gained 236 millions. The preceding week’s expansion was atrributed in part to the release of the first bonug checks, but was also traced to the government disbursement of interest payments on The public debt anq distribution of dividend checks by a number of large corporations. ~ The new found wealth of the veterans has already brought stimulus

to retail trade and has been reflected

in better demand for new and used automobles and other articles. Despite the rise in currency circulation the money market resumed & more normal condition last week after the heavy turnover of the precedng week. The reserve balances which had been soaked up during the preceding week by the offering of a billion dgllars of new government gecurities recovered partially. The upturgeamounted to 314 million dollars as compared with the shrink age of over 6 milliong in the preceding weeks.
