President Roose- velt was pictured by the Chamber’s publicity men as the Stalin of the western world, or something equally remarkable. énmmh lism was running rampant under the present Administration and there wasn't any- thing much left to do except elect a good old re-| actionary and get back to w sound days before Roosevelt. At the weekend the same United States Chamber of Commerce issued one of its business reports, given out from time to time. This anti-New Deal or tion reports an excellent basis has been laid for con- tinued business “The business activity So ured as the| t was pi recovery level of 1936, To quote continues to rise there has been no re Being a commercial and not a political group, it is generally assumed the Chamber is now speaking with a degree of authority.

It reminds one of the man who killed the goose that laid the golden egg. But, then, maybe that is the short-sighted policy of the United States Chamber of Commerce? We admit failure in attempting to follow such remarkable consistency. HELLO, MI HARLOW! A kindly, altruistic following editorial re: telegram: thought is expressed by the ently printed in the New World- We used to hear a saccharine ballad, “Hello, Central, Give Me Heaven Times change, and today, according to a tale from Trenton, N. J.. it should be sung. “Hello, Long Distance, Give Me Jean Harlow.” A 14-year-old boy who tends a neighbor’s furnace in Trenton found himself alone in his employer’s home and unable to resist the telephone. He put in a call for Hollywood, had his favorite actress paged and was about to hear the angelic voice when the householder got onto it. Already the bill amounted to $20.50, and the lad was stuck for it. The boy's name, in case Miss Harlow didn’t know it in a oe Duggan. Wéuldn't it be nice if her publicity man should take care of that bill, which a lot of money to Joe? After the young admirer put her on the front page of half the newspapers.in America, not to mention the editorial page. The theolo- gians teach that it doesn’t take $20.00 for a boy to get in touch with heaven. Come on, Holly- wood! Vastly greater awards are said to have been given a more commercially minded publicist s ago. . | Legend has it that in the latter part fo 1927 an vn-‘ terprising advertising man visited the head of a large insurance company and asked how much it would be worth to the firm to have its name prominently men- tioned on the front page of every newspaper in the country. The board of directors thought it would be worth a considerable and important sum of money. As a consequence, in the course of time and proper arrangements, front page stories blazed throughout the nation that former President Calvin Coolidge had accepted an executive position with the New York Life Insurance Company. We hope that Miss Harlow’s publicity man will re- member that little event if and when he gets around to paying 14-year-old Joe Duggan's telephone bill, all veral years BSome 48 veterans took advantage the Legion service in making out their, bonus applications last night in the Dugout.

(New York Herald Tribune) When John L. Lewis resigned as vice-president of |the American Federation of Labor to head the Com- | mittee for Industrial Unionism it was inevitable that sooner or later there must come a showdown between his faction and that which rules the Federation. Apparently, with the formal order of the Federa- tlon’s executive council that the Lewis committee be | dissolved, the showdown is at hand and also a test |of principles not unlikely to rend the labor movement in this country with civil war. Mr. Lewis, one imagines, is not the kind of rebel to bow meekly to the’council’s action. He has already indicated that he considers it with contempt, and noth- ing in his record or former pronouncements would lead one to suppose that he would not rather split ¢ {completely with the Federation than abandon his cause. Some compromise, to be sure, is still possib! but the situation bears an omnious resemblance to that which proceeded the firing on Fort Sumter. | Itis hardly necessary to explan that the movement which Mr. Lewis heads in which he is associated with seven other union presidents, has for its object to organize new industrial territo on the basis of industries rather than crafts. It represents an old struggle within the A. F. of L. but one w a fresh impetus from the enactment of Section 7-A of Nira, and has since found much additional encourage- ment in the provisions of the Wagner Act. Mr. William ich received Green, who so bitterly opposes its present manifestation | challenge to the supremacy of the American Fed- -ation of Labor,” must remember, rather ruefully, ardently he championed those measures. Section 7-A, which insists on the rig... of all work- ers to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, Mr. Green called the Magna Charta — |of American labor. In a sense, which he failed to fore- see, it became the Magna Charta of workers who pre- ferred industrial to craft organization; it affirmed their right to representatives of their own choosing quite as much against the craft unions, who would divide them up, as against the employer. And now, we have its re-enactment in the Wagner act, whose egulations for its enforcement by majority vote distinctly favor the industrial over the craft union. In fact, to quote from a recent articie on the subject in this newspaper, written by Professor Herbert May- nard Diamond, of Lehigh University, “one might go so as to surmise that the Wagner act, for which may take tne crafi unions off Main Street into quiet alleys to dream of their past glories.” The Wagner act has still to pass the serutiny of (h(‘ Supreme Court. Meanwhile, in their battle with . the members of the Federation's council mi d’! worse than to pray that it be declared unconstitu- tional Scund Planning. (Cincinnati Engnirer) The conservation of natural resources is pre- |eminently our opportunity for public planning America. As Mr. Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the I terior, very aptly observed in an address at Washing Sunday night, it is a little dangerous to speak on beha of the idea of planning, because it is not a part of the American tradition But we must come to it, and eventually we at any rate. shall, with respect to natural resources “We must revere our forefathers, and they never |planned,” Mr. Ickes remarked, with a good deal of acid in his phrases. “When they had devastated one fo they merely moved on to another. When they had exhausted the fertility of a farm in one section, there | was always another farm a little farther on to be had ' for the taking. As I say, they never planned, th merely exploited. Ergo, we should not plan.” There is much to think about in Mr. Ickes’ stinging indictment of the prejudice against planning. The |Wword often conjures up impressions of a regimented |society in which men do not produce the goods they |hope to sell at a profit, but the goods a bureaucratic | |Bovernment decides in solemn conference the people ought to have next season. To be sure, that is public planning also. It is a sort we want none of. It is a sort | that does not work, unless government is so strong and | so tyrannical that it can make people pretend to like things they do not like. Surely few sfactions for mankind. The stupidity of this sort of planned industrial pro- duction, however, should not be allowed to create a prejudice against the common-sense planning of land use and ref ation. The present movement for con- servation, for planning the utilization of natural re- sources, began under that thoroug going individualist, Theodore Roosevelt, and it was from ‘his effort that | Mr. Ickes caught the idea. Ours will be a poverty-stricken country in another | two generations, if we continue to exploit the soil and | | the forests with the same pioneer’s recklessness that our forefathers had. However profoundly we regard Lhm work, which made the development of this coun- y possible, we are obliged to recognize vhat their of the land is not permissiole for us. What was perfectly natural for them, and served to build up the country, and for the ger example slavishly. ations to come, if we follow their Our Unsupervised Ship (New York World Telegram) / is the pathetic helplessness of the present ULited States facilities for entorcing safety of the lives of 338,000,000 passengers yearly sailing on American vessels so damningly etched as in the speech of How- ard S. Cullman, vice boat Inspection, the government’s sole sea safety instru- mentalily, as bereft of real authority to enforce such safety laws as a Congress indifferent to sea safety legislation might enact. Neither this bureau nor any other government agency has the power by law to approve or disapprove of plans or methods of ship construction for American flag vessels—a startling fact. A ship may blow up at sea under governmeng cer- tificate, but no underwriter would have insured that ship on the strength of the Steamboat Inspection’s findings. This bureau, expected to look after 25,000 docu- | mented ships and more tnan 500,000 small pleasure acking in the technical experts required. too few inspectors, too few clerks, too many political tools Mr. Cullman, obviously, pictures a disgraceful and highly dangerous condition in a great government's | sham pretense at safeguarding the lives of people in- trusted to the nation’s ships. He rightly declares that better safety laws, if passed, cannot be enforced until this bureau is strengthened and given real authority, An American missionary in India has been stricken with distomiosis.
