For instance, nothing can be gained in recovery of employment by detouring capital away from industry and commerce into the ury of the United States, either by taxes or loans, on the assumption that the Government can create more employment by use of thess funds than can industry and commerce itself While T am a strong advocate of expan- sion of useful public works in hard times, and we have trebled our Federal expenditure in aid to unemployment, yet there are limi- | tations upon the application of this princi- | ple. Not only must we refrain from rob- bing industry and commerce of its capital, and thereby increasing unemployment, but such works require long engineering and le- gal interludes before they produce actual employment Above all, schemes of public works which have no reproductive value | would result in sheer waste. The remedy to economic depression is not waste, but the creation and distribution of wealth. ! The heat wave in the Middle West is reported broken Now would be a good time for those Mid- dle Westerners to start for Alaska before the next heat wave overtakes them.

A|Legion ... 3 8 213 ———— tural leaders for their remarkable spirit of cooperation Their action is magnificent proof of the fundamental progress of Ameri- ean institutions, of our growth in social and economic understanding, of our sense of responsibility and of human brotherhood. Leaders of industry have cooperated in an extraordinary degree to maintain employ- ment and sustain our standards of living. There have been exceptions, but they repre- sent a small per cent of the whole. Labor has cooperated in prevention of conflict in giving greater efforts and consequently in reducing unit costs. We have had fresdom from strikes, lockouts and disorder unequaled even in prosperous times. We have made permanent gains in national solidarity. Our people can take justifiable pride that their united efforts have greatly re- duced unemployment which would have otherwise been our fate; it is heavy but pro- portionally it is less than one-half that of other industrial countries. Great as have been our difficulties no man can contrast them with our experience in previous great depressions or with the condition of other important industrial countries, without a glow of pride in our American system and a confidence in its future. While we are fostering the slow but positive processes of the healing of our eco- nomic wounds our citizens are necessarily filled with anxiety, and in their anxiety there is the natural demand for more and more drastic action by the Federal Gov- ernment. Many of their suggestions are sound and helpful Every suggestion which comes within the proper authority and province of the Executive is given most earnest considera- tion. We are, of course, confronted with scores of theoretical panacea, which, however | new boost is given to the “branch plant” program. Likewise an impetus is supplied for further flow of| Yankee money northward—apart from the prohibi- tion stimulus—by the light tax on income from non- residents’ investments in the Dominion. And with all that goes a pretty clear measure of retaliation. Levies are increased upon numerous agricultural} products of our farm states—a game that apparent- ly two can play. The duties are raised on autos on an upward scale. Protection or subsidy is giv~ en for native coal from either extreme eastern or |extreme western Canada as against our mines. Du- ties are raised on certain steel manufactures, but are lowered on some semi-manufactured steel items that might be further handled in Canadian plants.| Miscellaneous lists tell the same story. It may be true enough that Washington feels relieved that the case isn't worse, and of course ad- mits that we can't complain unless, as seems un- likely, there is clear discrimination. Also, however, |there is, and has to be, admission that the net result | may have serious effect on some of our former export | items—in trade with what used to be our best cus- tomer. But we keep the credit for the pattern.

Ma Kenendy declares that she is “beaten,” that she is “through,” that she “cannot struggle any longer.” One wonders if that is a promise.— (Aberdeen, Wash,, World). ‘The report that prohibition is a myth has been punctured by the mayor of Los Angeles who refused to drink toasts with champagne when he arrived in France.—(Milwaukee Journal).
