2 MYSTERIOUS BLAST __ ATDRTROMT PROBED .~ 20 Are Injured As Building Is Demolished; Police Blame Gasoline Detroit, April 17.—()—Police saon-| day were investigating an explosion ; that demolished a two-story brick rooming house on the eastern edge of the down town district Sunday night, showering the neighborhood with de- bris and sending more than a score of persons to hospitals. Officers of the arson squad said there were strong indications that gasoline caused the blast. They held two persons as police witnesses while they sought the owner. Firemen said no one in the house at the time could have survived, but a@ preliminary investigation of ruins disclosed no fatalities. Flames shot 150 feet into the air as walls and floors of the building collapsed. When the smoke and dust cleared away, 20 or more persons were sitting or lying in the debris littered street, knocked down by the force of the explosion, felled by bricks or cut ‘by glass. Police headquarters receiving hos- pital, St. Mary’s hospital and St. Mary's Catholic church, all within @ radius of a few blocks, were shak- en as if by an earthquake.

Editor, Tribune: ‘The rise and fall of the tide of bus- iness follows a prescribed course over a period of time that is commonly referred to as a business cycle. At various times during this cycle the orderly movement of events is disturbed by schemes and plans from the imagination of impatient po- liticians and others, quite vivid in our state and nation at present, in jan attempt to hurry the natural course of business development. For the past three years, and a little more, the world has been ex: periencing the ebb flow of a busi- ness cycle, with low ebb having been reached in June of 1932. It took two and one-half years for the tide to flow out from the high mark of 1929 to the low of 1932—and since that time only 10 months have elapsed. If the tide of business improvement is to flow in at a rate comparable to the speed of the ebb tide—we can hardly look for business to reach its next peak for another 20 months— which would be approximately Jan. 1, 1935. Yet there are many who are already becoming impatient because the incoming tide fails to flow more rapidly than the ebb tide—and these are the authors of the schemes and plans that are now being considered by impatient groups who are un- willing to wait for and contribute to the slow and sound return of real prosperity. Recovery by scheming, inflation, artificial bolstering of credit, artific- ial stimulations of business volume— and other unnatural methods appeal to the writer and observer as “The Lazy Way” to effect business im- provements—and we are inclined to regard all panaceas with a weather- eye. The vigorous, courageous way to recovery is the only one that will prove to be worth-while in the long run. That means work—and plenty of it; economizing within reason, but not to the extent of deprivation; reciprocity in business dealings, which means square dealing between creditors and debtors with every rea- sonable consideration being made by creditors to make the payment of in- debtedness possible. We do not believe there is a scheme that could be devised to court busi- ness improvement that can do much more good than it does harm—for there is an immutable law that “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”"—and that law has always prevailed. Prohibition is an example of a pana- cea that failed. There is no deny- ing the fact that prohibition is right and sound in principle—but because it cannot be enforced—it has become a great evil. We have discovered this fact by bitter experience. Take the proposed allotment plan for agriculture. If extended to all basic commodities—and enforced— it might prove beneficial—but what is to prevent agriculture from boot- legging its produce to avoid the re- strictions of the plan? Consider current inflation. The more money we have in circulation in relation to true incremental wealth, the lower becomes the value of the dollar. Permit inflation to follow its own natural course—and the dollar would repeat the history of the German mark. “The Lazy Way” has never yet, to our knowledge, proved to be the best way to accomplish any important ob- jective—and the present situation shows no great variation in principle from the past situation in which business has found itself. More regulation within the limits of the actual business structure—and less government regulation from without—would appear to be a feas- ible premise upon which to base a program for improving the economic structure. The utility industry has made a start in this direction through the formation of the Edison Electric Institute and if the same sort of pro- gram could be adopted by other pri- mary industries much benefit might accrue to the whole field of business. government may properly assume in the revised economic structure—a place that the politicians have been inclined to neglect in favor of a med- that part of the economic structure Democrat Wins In St. Louis Bernard F.

Therefore, I think we should be thankful we have a governor who has gumption enough to do what he sees IKANSANISSHENAS [[____Som Rowerete Drinks to the Rew Dea? | REVENUE COLLECTOR] Other Appointments Are Rumor- ; ed As Farley Starts Pat- ronage Machine Washington, Aprit 17—(/)—The ad- ministration was said authoritatively As if in toast to the new deal which his father sponsored, John Roosevelt, son of the & bottle of “three-point-two” to quench his thirst while attending the Hunter ‘That's John at the extreme right. needs to be done if our oppressed j ge! and needy people are not going to be thrown upon the community by un- scrupulous, self-seeking persons and become dependent upon the Red Cross or other charities in order to preserve their lives. In a crisis like this we should stand behind Governor Langer, whatever our private feelings towards him may be, in order that our citizens may be saved from that blackest of all tragedies—a revolution. If Governor Langer hasn’t done anything else worth while since he took over the reins of government than to save the above mentioned family from becoming objects of charity, then we feel we are justified in having voted for him. He at least is doing something to earn his salary besides holding an office chair. And although we know he makes mistakes, as all humans do, we still are for Bill Langer. A Subscriber.
