[SEIS ees Seen eee (Official City, State and County Newspaper) _ a Industry Changes Pace It hasn't been such a long time since the surest way for a politician or a writer to gain popular favor was to get up in meeting and at- tack “the trusts.” The word “trust” was used, rather loosely, to include any and all business organizations larger than the small manufacturing plant or the average department store. There was a general public feeling that big business organ- izations, by very reason of their bigness, were dangerous to the republic. Now, however, Edward known Boston merchant, declares that the small business, everywhere in the United States, is doomed. It can survive, he asserts, only by becoming a large one. America, in his view, no longer has a place for the small con- cern. A few years ago such remarks would have created a furore. Liberal journals and states- men everywhere would have deplored and con- tradicted. We would have been shown, as from a high mountain, the stately edifice of our nation tottering to a fall. Yet today these statements pass almost un- heeded. We have ceased to distrust the big banker and ‘the big industrialist; instead, we are coming to look on them as our leaders. We have accepted business prosperity as the base of our civilization, so to speak. We have learned that it is not the politician with his promises of glittering reform who can make conditions more comfortable and pleasing for us, but the industrialist. ‘ For industry itself has changed front. No longer does an enlightened manufacturer seek to hammer down wages and boost prices to the limit. Instead, he is raising wages and low- ering prices. He is giving us things that we never had before; lopping hours of drudgery off our lives, making the conditions of our ex- istence easier and more pleasant. To be sure, there are men who see a danger even in this. They protest that mentally and spiritually we are becoming enslaved; that we are attempting to live by bread alone; that our prosperity is improving our bodies, but dead- ening our minds, But such men see only one side of the pic- ture. A worker in a vast factory may be only a cog in a machine, whereas his grandfather was an honored craftsman; yet the modern workman has more money and more leisure than his grandfather had, and with them he can win a greater spiritual development than his grandfather dreamed of. The soul rises easiest when the body is _ freed. Our dependence on our business lead- | exa-ie sound. The path that stretches out be- | fore us, flanked by huge factories, great sky- scrapers and the other insignia of our culture, is full of promise. A.

A whole can be compressed into the period ex- ling from one dawn to another. States- men in morning coats can sign the papers that plunge the world into war; a chemist in a smelly laboratory can discover in his test tubes something that will change the future of the world; politicians can gather in ~ smoky hotel room and pick our next president for us; oil meg can meet and market untold numbers of of oil to one another, using the pro- to buy cabinet members; great things, ort, can happen in one day’s time. it being the case—what are we going to ith our extra day this year? Will it be to rascality or to good works? When e to sum up the year’s accomplishments exe fall will we find that this extra day has | yielded anything of importance? Probably not. For, in spite of the fact that we like to think we are the speediest nation on earth, nothing ever really happens overnight. Everything, from wars to the purchase of cab- inet members, has to germinate before it can come out into the light of day. 4 he do ied shen bg mee Mea world war © the machinations of Wilhelm II, Isvolsky, Poincare or Grey.

For the fact is, we are on a journey so great that one day more or less does not matter. Here in America we are proceeding to a dis- tant goal. The shouting that will greet us cannot yet be heard over the last horizon, 0 hint of the fabled cities of the future can come to us, save that now and then a seer, clear- eyed, can just detect the tips of shining tow- ers and can smell the fragrance of soft winds blowing over spacious prairies. Days are unimportant. We can take Febru- ary 29 in our stride. We do not know where go| We are going, but we do know that we are on our way, and that our destination is worthy. And so, on our extra day, we can stick to our usual tasks, knowing that the unseen sentinels who stalk the borders of our land will be able to fling back a cheery “All’s Well!” to the challenge of the restless night. Clipping Lindy’s Wings Congress, according to Representative Con- nally of Texas, ought to pass a resolution asking Colonel Lindbergh to end his flying activities, since Lindbergh’s life is too precious to be risked any further. It isn’t a bad idea, in some ways. We simply couldn’t stand to lose this young man. =But it would take more than a congressional reso- lution to keep him on the ground. And, if we did clip his wings, he wouldn’t be happy. Apparently he was made for flying. To ask him to stay on the ground would be like chaining an eagle. He’d pine away of sheer boredom. Probably we'll just have to keep on trusting that his uncanny flying skill will keep him safe from harm. Thinking Campaigns Politics is quieter than it used to be. A few years ago a presidential campaign meant lots of excitement, with torchlight pro- cessions, impassioned stump speakcrs and blar- ing brass bands. The color has gone qut of it now. The campaign is conducted quiet! ly. Probably this is a change for the better. Presidential campaigns call for clear thinking on the part of the voter. And certainly brass bands and torchlight parades didn’t induce te Their appeal was solely to the emo- jons, | Editorial Comment | ES Fighting For Peace (Des Moines Tribune) Ferdinand Buisson, French leader of a peace movement, who won half of the Nobel prize for his work in that direction, was speaking the other day on “Youth’s Part in Assuring Peace.” While he was making his address crowd of ruffians entered, broke up the meet- ing, and beat him severely. He is 87 years 1 period. The disturbers protested against a peace movement, against a peace speech, and agains a pacifist. No doubt while they were about the business of hitting the old man and stop- ping his speech they insisted that they were the only friends of peace, and he and his lis- teners were misguided. But somehow in France as in this country, the only answer these “true friends of peace” can make to the workers for peace is by vio- lence and by calling names. They lack othcr arguments. Battling the Borer (St. Paul Dispatch) Farmers around Dearborn, Michigan, are giving the European corn borer an old Ameri- jcan treatment. They are riding the pest on arail. It is an iron rail which is dragged over the corn stubble by team or tractor. This shucks the caterpillar from his snug winter quarters and he dies from exposure or is sight- ed by some bird and supplies a desirable lunch. burn the corn stubble and refuse, this method is proving fairly satisfactory. The depari- ment of agriculture recommends the burning and plowing under even of dock and ragwecd in addition to the corncobs, stalks and stubble. It is hoped that the farmers have found a way of ironing out their corn borer troubles. That portion of Michigan is pretty severely infested and damage to the corn crop ran last year to a high percentage. On their success in fight- ing the westward progress of the pest rests the hope of the cornfields of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Britain’s Problem in India (Oakland Tribune) Off for Bombay where its members will make a survey and seek to discover the answer to many old questions the royal commission from London carries with it the knowledge it is engaged in a serious and perplexing task. The government of India has been a difficult task for Great Britain, its problems have un- seated prime ministers, its details have made men grow old before their time, and its per- plexities have never disappeared. That a royal commission goes forth at least stands, in the eyes of the British public and possibly before the Orient, as an admission that the old order is not satisfactory and that something must be done, It is easy enough Fd the world to say that Downing strect has uddled along in its Indian policy; it is a sim- ple matter to point to causes for unrest and dissatisfaction in India, but a man who would speak knowingly must have first made a study of conditions in a country which presents an Amazing variety of contradictions and prob- 1S. That Britain admits her Indian Policy is not calculated to quiet the discontent there, is sig- nificant. At the same time Britain knows that for years her ablest statesmen have sought in vain to find the answer to the riddle. Today there is & new complication, for Russia is watching India with the hope that Britain will be unable to handle the situation. The t is regerded by the Soviet as a fertile ficld for propaganda and revolution. In the large efforts Great Britain is now handle a situation which has long been acute, there are indications of changed Policies, a hint of a new program the success failure of which the next decade may dis.

I’m sure I don't know what you young folks will do next to the traditions of your fathers before you find out that you’re destroying all the worth- while things in life. We used to consider it an honor and a pleasure to entertain our friends and were glad to do it in the best way we could without think- ing of the expense. And we didn’t spend our money extravagantly either, just to make a splash. We stayed within means and we at hospitality was sacred. We would not have thought of offering it to anyone in expecta- tion of benefiting financialiy from it. For us it was enough to have the company of our friends and we took a real interest in each other’s affairs. Today you ere take your guests to a hptel and while I suppose that has its advantages, it seems to me a sorry substitute for true hospitality. It used to be a woman’s grcatest pleasure when she entertained to prepare favorite dishes with her own hands and it was mighty nice to see how heartily they were enjoyed.
