Ex-President Hoover’s articles in recent and cur- rent issues of the Saturday Evening Post, his first expressions on political and governmental topics since he left the White House, are well worth read- ing. While we do not agree with either his premise or his conclusions, they are valuable in that they | accurately portray the philosophy of government that motivated the Hoover regime from 1929 to 1933.] They betray the same ineptness and lack of appre- | elation of knowledge of the average human being's | reactions and mental processes that made his own administration the most unpopular in modern nmes.: That he is honestly concerned about recent develop- ments cannot be doubted. He is sincere in his, eonviction that the country is on the way to serious trouble if the Roosevelt Administration is not, halted. | Following the publication of the original article, Becretary Ickes, of the Interior Department and PWA chieftain, declared: He apparently doesn't seem to be con- cerned about a man or woman who wants a fair chance or decent living conditions. These exploiters don't want to give up any- thing they have. Who is being deprived of liberty? He is just creating a straw man to knock it down. The liberty he speaks of is the liberty of the priviliged few who have been permitted to exploit the great mass of people. Becretary Ickes is emphatic about the necessity of going ahead with the recovery program for its immediate as well as future relief. The situation, he said, is that great masses of people are striving for cconomic security. 2 ‘ : He defended the allotment of furids to relieve | buman distress, saying: “I think we ought to draw on our resources. If a man loses his job, he draws on his reserves. That is what the nation | should do. That is what we save our money for.” | | COOPERATION UNDER NRA. Early in the work of the NRA it was declared ' that a main object of the recovery program would be the restoration of palance in American economic life. The degree of progress attained in recovery from the depression may be measured in the terms of the achievement of balance as month by month' the fundamental work has gone forward. i ‘When the recovery act was approved in June, 1933, the economic world was out of joint, to paraphrase Hamlet, and the NRA was devised to set it right. Agriculture, industry, trade and commerce, communications, all were out of balance. Whole families were homeless in the shadow of vacant houses—the populace was starving in front of full groceries. This must not be forgotten now. It was necessary to keep in mind the ideal of restoring balance, as the Herculean task of bringing | the business of the entire country under codes of fair competition progressed. There was always a danger that one field of endeavor would be aided : at the expense of the others. ‘The task before NRA has not been ughbened-——l it may even have been rendered greater—now that | the problem is one of code revision and consolida- | oAl Eand stone, with a minimum of five rooms, to cost |not more than $1,700 each, tion. There is greater need than ever fol operation among all the elements that go to make up the American populace, that long ill-balanced trio: Capital, Labor and the Public. Indusiry and trade cannot prosper if lgrlcul'.ure. is in the death throes and there can be no security for either industry or agriculture if millions are out of jobs. The first steps toward better days were taken through the co-operation of the business forces:of the country in formulating codes. All co-operative agreements require a cértain surrender of individual lberty just as all governments are based upon compromise in the interests of the greatest good for the majority. The remaining tasks can be completed only through continued co-operation in the administra- tion of the consolidated codes under the Blue Eagle. On that basis alone can recovery become permanent. - vitality. MERGING SCIENCE AND SOCIOLOGY. “Science has tended to disturb the religious, social, economic and political status quo and has been the subject of more or less public interest,” reports the members of the “Science Inquiry” at the University of Wisconsin, and it recommends that the | interpretation of the work of investigator in the natural science fields should not be left entirely to others . The “Sclence Inquiry” was initiated by Dr. Glenn Frank, President of the University, and was participated in by some 200 members of the faculty. The report was written by Professors C. K. Leith, E. B. Fred, Harry Stecnbock and Chester Lloyd Jones. The report holds that the university treatment of preblems in the combined field of natural and | social science has been too much departmentalized, that there is promising field of co-operative effort between :al and natural science still un- occupied, and that in the natural sciences par- ticularly not enough atiention is being given to the social bearing of sclentific findings. The Physi an’s Part. (New York Times.) Falling death rates during the depressicn are declared by high medical authority not a sufficient cause for optimism. Death rates are not a “sen- |sitive index of ill-health and do not promptly measure decreased resistance to disease.” We still have to facc the full impact of depression on But one saving factor is to be reckoned 'on in bad times as well as in good—the service of the physician. This is too little appreciated. The 'London Times recently made a special plea for the payment of doctors’ bills by those who have had the benefit of their attention. Even when the physician is not paid because of the poverty of his patients, his contribution to public health should at least have its due credit. The doctor Is in a peculiarly difficult position. The sick in their need cannot be expected not to call a dector and the doctor cannot decline to respond unless he is paid in cash or has the assur- ance of prompt payment. He is not in the category of the merchant or the worker under salary or wage. He is under the compulsion of his skill— as well as of his own humane feeling—to answe every call. This is part of the definition of his occupation. It would bring his profession into odium as it would the individual if he were to refuse to go to the patient though there were no certainty of ccmpensation. As a matter of fact, much of the average physician’s skill is given with the certainty that there will be no payment except gratitude—and he cannot always be sure of that. Many excuse their delay in paying the doctor, or their complete neglect of their obligation to him, by pleading their own limited means; but it is at best selfishness, or at worst something one hesitat to say, not {o economize in spending for thi not necessary in order to meet a doctor's bill. A: it is, the physician sets an example of unselfish service to other professions and even to trade. Without - his indispensable skill freely or generously given the depression would be far worse than it has been. That the death rate is not higher is in part due to that service seldom if ever paid in full. It is still much as it was in other times: God and the Doctor we alike adore But only when in danger, not before. The danger o'er, both are alike re- quited— is forgotten and slighted. God the Doctor Mass Housing in England, (Cincinnati Enquirer.) England is generally cited as a proper example of the conservative course this country should follow in avoiding new governmental ventures into the historic domain of private enterprise. It is quite true that England has managed to realize a sub- stantial revival of its private capital market, in contrast to the situation in America. But when we examine British policy in this respect we find that |1t has gone even farther in departing from laissez (faire individualism than have we. This is notably true in the matter of low-cost housing. The formally stated pelicy of the British Gov- ernment, adopted under the leadership of the Con- servative Party, is to assume responsibility for pro- viding suitable housing for every worker's family at a rental within his means. As a policy this is more far-reaching than anything America has under- taken, even though we have a few spectacular housing projects more completely dominated by the Government than any projects in Great Britain. In the last 15 years the British have built 1,- 160,000 houses for workers, involving in each case the cooperation of private enterprise and public authority, as well as some public funds. Their cur- rent plans for further mass housing involve the construction of possibly a million houses of brick including the land. With amortization of the cost over 60 years, it is planned to rent these homes at about $11 a month. This is based on an estimated income of $1250 a week. The ability of the British to build adequate houses at such a low figure explains why they use 4 combination of private enterprise and public authority. The attempts of the American Govern- ment to foster mass housing schemes through lim- ited dividend companies last year were defeated by the insufficiency of private capital and the excessive cost of construction. It seems unlikely that we shall be able to duplicate the performance of lt;he:hlznxlish along this line. ps the important fact to remember public housing schemes in America are noumt::: than tentative experiments, and that the English have actually gone much farther in projecting the GET THE CARNIVAL SPIRIT.
