Is our vision so limited and so uninspired that we see nothing for the future except a return to those conditions that we called prosperous prior to 1929; those times when what was gaudy and cheap and flamboyant ¥ our social system was flaunited in the front parlor while we swept under the back stairs our slums, our unemployment and our submarginal living for a majority of our people? Or shall we, chastened in narrow escape from a social cataclysm .that seemed about to engulf all of us in a common disaster, really get to work to build on this continent such a nation as the humane and socially minded of our founding fathers saw in their dreams—a na- tion consisting not of a numerically small class holding most of the wealth of the country, with 60 per cent or more lacking adequate food and clothing and shelter, but a nation which, except for that mere hand- ful of misfits and derelicts that are con- stantly being sloughed off of every social group, shall be composed of citizens who are economically free because they possess the means of supplying themselves with those things that make life worth while and who are, therefore, truly politically free. It is time that we were quit of moon- ing with our heads in the clouds, talking about the American standard of living, not only as though it were the best that the world has ever seen but as if it left nothing to be desired. Standard of living is a relative term. Even if it were true that the American standard of living is the highest on record, that is not the question that confronts us today. What we are face to face with is the proposition whether the American standard of living is such as to assure the minimum requirements of our people as to comfort, health and general well-being.

Are we going to revert to the false | prosperity of 1929 and go through the same thing again just because we can’t learn from experience? Is there nothing greater to strive for than a fair standard of living for a few of the people while, as the Secretary put it, we sweep under the back stairs our slums, our unemployment and our sub- | marginal living for a majority of our people? | Prom | view there is only one answer, perity for every one, business is bound to favorably and it cannot do that unless the standard of living is universally raised so that all the people of this nation can enjoy well being. The task, as Secretary Ickes points out, that goal is accomplished. n the humanitarian as well as the business react there is lack of Christmas spirit in Juneau wasn’t in evidence down at the Victoria last night Santa Claus arrived.

Abyssinia contributed an army force of 200,000 men to the cause of the Allies.

Long after| Webster was in his grave, Taney still held the Chief| Justiceship, full of honors and years; his reasoning! {in the Dred Scot decision had the constitutional l1aw of his time on its side.

Mr. Hoover must be enough of a business man to understand that under the Hawley-Smoot im- | posts the American farmer is compelled to pay l(io\xble treble, quadruple prices for necessary imple- |ments. When Mr. Hoover, disregarding the flood | of protests, signed the Hawley-Smoot act, it was said that he was assuring the greatest good to the | least number. That, at bottom, is the whole design of the high tariff | The more Mr. Hoover talks, the more pleased | Mr. Roosevelt and his advisers will be. Any criticism he offers can be turned on him.

These | | have been halved in the last two years. At the end | of 1933 the Bank of Italy’s reserves amounted to | 7,000,000,000 lire. Today they are reported to be less‘ than 3,500,000,000. It is estimated in competent quar- | ters that Italy’s stock of gold under conditions which | are threatened will be exhausted in about a year.

I Horoscope “The stars 7acline but do not compel” [ ——— THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1935. Adverse stars appear to dominate in the planetary government of this day, according to astrology. The morning hours are more favorable to decisive action than any time lat- er during the twenty-four hours. Whatever is progressive and con- structive will be well planned under this sway. Prosperity for many is foreshadowed. The new year is to bring quick profits to a few. Gains for union labor are prophe- sied in 1935 when national exigenc- jes will create tremendous demands on workers in many trades and in- | dustries, it is prognosticated. ! This is a fairly favorable sway for love affairs, but they are likely to be mildly exciting and ephemeral. Na- val officers may be especially vulner- able to feminine charm at this time and there will be many weddings in service. | The cosmic forces presage world | | alliances of supreme importance. Great Britain and the United States are to be more closely in sympathy | than they have been in the past.
