CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER A"As“rANAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. COMPUL SURY ARBITRATION MAY BE ANSWER. The growing strike front in this country is the ~ause for serious study. Here we are just breaking the shackles of the nation’s most disastrous de- pression. Under the matchless leadership of Mr. Roosevelt the blockade of industry is slowly being broken down. Men and women are returning to work. Wages have been upped throughout the country. Collective bargaining has become legalized. Yet, with each advance made, strikes either threaten or materialize. And the progress toward recovery is retarded. Labor and capital, bedfellows in distress, are today battling on a wide front. The Pacific Coast longshoremen’s strike is but one of many. It it typical of most lockouts. No matter which side is right nor which is wrong, the public is the heaviest sufferer. It is the innocent by- staander who is greviously hurt. The strikers, by gaining concessions from capital, may recoup their losses. Capital, by holding out, might wring terms from labor which may recompense it for losses incurred in the strike. But the loss to the public is mever recovered. The public, because of its inherent interest, is entitled to protection from that loss. It should not be at the mercy of conflicting interests who do not hesitate to resort to force, and that is all a strike is, to gain their ends. We have tried boards of mediation whose de- cisions are not binding. We are now engaged in trying to eradicate the evil through NRA codes and their affiliated organizations. But their actions are only advisory. This, too, has proved to be inef- fectual. There seems to be but one course left, ie, a system of compulsory arbitration such as is pro- posed in the measure sponsored by Senator Wagner of New York. The Senate Committee on Labor recently reported this favorably. Washington ob- servers are dubious of its passage at the current session of Congress. It ought to be added to Presi- dent Roosevelt's legislative program and passed quickly. Unless all signs fail, it will be badly needed before autumn. WALLACE ANSWERS CRITICS. Those critics of the Roosevelt Administration’s crop reduction policy, as being opposed to agricul- tural science, are answered quite convincingly by Secretary Henry A. Wallace of the Depurtment of Agriculture in a brief statement just released by that Department. Mr. Wallace said: There is supposed to be a conflict between agricultural science and the need to adjust agricultural production. Agricultural science enables farmers to increase crop yields per acre, and increase the output of meat and milk per unit of feed consumed. As the users of agricultural improvements increase in number, output increases until prices fall. How can all this be reconciled with the need to make supply and demand balance? What would happen were farmers to abandon science, or even to use it with great decreased efficiency? They would 1ve Lo continue plowing, sowing, and reap- ing. Bu: they would use poor machinery, poor ‘que, and poor seed. They would allow pesis and diseases to ravage their crops and would harvest inefficiently what remained. Bv so doing they would certainly reduce the output. But they would do so at a cost ruinous to themselves. They would increase their unit costs of produc- tion out of all proportion to any conceivable gain in prices. From its start the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, the State experiment stations, and State extension services have | promoted efficiency on the farm. Efficiency | in the old sense of the word, however, is not enough. As farmers well know, profits cannot be got just by improving plants and livestock, by fighting diseases and pests, or by reducing the wastes of marketing. Ordi- nary technical efficiency reduces only the cost of production. Low-cost production may mean loss to the farmer if it is ex- cessive production. Under present conditions it is necessary also to adjust the output to a changed world market. Action taken under the Agricultural Ad- justment Act of 1933 enables farmers to plan their production, It seeks o transform blind competition into broad-visioned co~ operation, and to correct the results of previous mistakes. Meantime scientists con- tinue their research in various problems of 1 farm production. These two kinds of de- partmental activity must march together. Agriculture needs not less science in its production, but more science in its economic life. It is possible to have a full science, embracing the distribution as well as the production of wealth. To produce efficiently is to release time and energy for other uses, adding to the enrichment of life. Not to produce as efficiently as possible would be silly. Not to regulate the total volume of pro- duction, to relate it to consumptive demand, also would be silly. No factory is expected to produce without regard for the market conditions. No factory is expected to fail, even when producing at less than capacity, to take advantage of new efficiencies. The same reasoning applies to agriculture. Now that test-tube babies are in the offing, the old saying that it's a wise child that knows is own father will contain more truth than ever. It will also be a mark of wisdom if it knows its mother. A national broadcasting system proposes to com- municate with Admiral Byrd from around the world, using a station in Alaska north of the Arctic Circle. When communication is established, we'd suggest they ask the Admiral if he’s seen anything of Dillinger in that neck of the woods. Governor Black’s Record. (New York Herald Tribune.) . Governor Eugene R. Black of the Federal Re- serve Board intends to resign after Congress ad- journs, according to advices received from Washing- ton yesterday. He will return to Atlanta to resume his duties as Governor of the Reserve Bank of that city, duties laid aside temporarily when he was called to the capital. When the history of the period of the New Deal is eventually written, one of the most difficult of the problems will be to ascribe to Governor Black his rightful role. Was he, or was he not, it will be asked, one hundred per cent loyal to sound financial principles—to the principles for which he was known to stand? Certainly he was not loyal in the sense that Carter Glass was loyal in turning down an opportunity to become Secretary of Treasury. At times, those who knew him, and knew that his instincts in matters financial were thoroughly sound, found it difficult to restrain their impatience with him for his serenity in the face of clearly unwar- ranted invasions .of the Reserve's functions by other agencies of the Government. There is no | question, for example, that the fiery Carter Glass would have broken with the Government rather than permit it to seize not merely the gold profits from devaluation but the Reserve system’s gold stocks as well. Governor Black, on the other hand, contented himself with a more or less perfunctory statement of protest. On the other hand, there are many who feel that through his willingness to compromise here and there with folly, Governor Black allayed much of the hostility toward the Reserve system that pre- vailed at Washington, and that he thereby saved much that was sound and worth saving in the country’s banking machinery. There is no doubt that, at the time he entered Administration councils, the central banks were the object of a deep and unreasining bitterness. But even those who nour- ished the greatest ill will toward the Reserve itself, and who would gladly have participated in wrecking it completely if they cauld have done so, found it difficult to feel that way toward the genial and friendly Governor Black. We do not know what Governor Black might have accomplished had he followed the course of Dr. Sprague and resigned, but we do know that his ability to make and retain friends enabled him to keep the line of communica- tion open between the Reserve Banks and the ‘White House when they might otherwise have been a better understanding between these institutions and official Washington. There's one thing can be said about a nudist. They wear no man’s collar.—(Atlanta Constitution.) The latest legal threat is that men and women nudists are to be separated. If this doesn't break it up entirely, at least it wont’ help its popularity. —(Lexington, Ky., Herald.) n IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT We still have a good stock of.
