He may well regard the ces:a- tion of revaration payments by Ger- many as the first cause of this denial. “Does bad intention reaily lie behind this, or has it to do with the necessities accompanying the situation? A nation possesses land. facilities for production and the ability to labor of its inhab- itants and, in addition, also some gold, By the Associated Press PASADENA, Calif, January 24.— Albert Einstein, scientist, finding rela-| tivity is not applicable to every-day | life, went into a sort of consuitation to think out a formula of what to do about the world in general and the depres- | sion in particular. ! amount by the creditor nation, then in- His intellectual consultants were' Henry M. Robinson, banker and inter- nationally known economist, and Prof. William B. Munro, historian. The three thought out loud in a symposium here last night on “America and the World Situation.” : Their formula, expre:sed mathemat- ically, is that “dispassionate analytical| understanding” (Einstein), plus “elim- ination of fear” (Robinson) plus “ad- ! tradict the foresoing assertion? journment of politics” (Munro), meas- ured by the co-operation of the people, equals economic recovery. | would although in an amount which is prac- tically negligible in comparison with the great indebtedness here coming under consideration. “A nation can thus pay only with | goods, that is—in the last resort—only | with the products of its labor. Should these goods not be taken in sufficient ability to pay must unqualifiedly set in. This interrelation becomes somewhat | cbscured in its simplicity, only there- | from that the interposition of the ccn- cept of gold hides the facts a little frcm our sight. | Pald More Than Decade.” “Germany has, to be sure, paid for more than a decade; does not this con- No!

Einstein thinks the first step neces- sary to dispassionate understanding is | the removal of the “obstacle of the | tabu.” That obstacle, he explained, “lles in words and other symbols which | are laden with emotion.” | He said there are some words which | “produce such violent disturbances in | our feelings” that the role they play in the transmission of ideas is lost. Among these he included “honor, prestige, fath- crland in nearly all the countries of the present worll | Facing “naked reality.” Einstein said e did not belleve war debts caused the | depression, but that it was due to in-| creased production from technical in- | vention ‘and _organization decreasing the need for human labor. He thinks disarmament can be reached most rapidly by eliminating universal military service and depend- ence upon professional armies. Robinson, who served on the Supreme Allied Economic Council and the Dawes reparations commissions, said that “in | our difficulties fear is the fundamental cause end the most important factor in the existing depression.” “In this way most of the countries | of Europe have already becn them- selves forced to submit their foreign payments to a far-reaching curtail- ment. When we take into considera- | tion these ‘frozen credits’ we can say, indeed, that the attompt to meet the war debts has failed. even as was in- evitable in accordance with simple con- | siderations. “Why, however, has America not taker. the payments in the form of ! goods or through an encouragement of the importation of goods?> Because her own industrial establichments would have been seriously damaged by such importation. One sees thus how this i situation necessari’y had to arise. Such a quiet understanding is suited for tak- ing from the situation its sharpness and_bitterness. “One wili have to try to reduce the international obligations to a figure which agrees with the willingness to r ceive the corresponding amount of goods. “I come now to a second point, the comprehension of which is more im- | portant for my German countrymen than for Americans. It has been Must Measure Fear. { sumed, namely, that the world depres- He said, “Our difficulties started with | Sion for the most part had its origin | mass movement of people inspired by fear,” and “That until we find a form- | ula for measuring fear, by discovering | its origin and probable movement, we | can not with certainty adjust eco- | nomic machinery, whatever form such | smachinery may have, as to overcome the effect of fear.” | Munro asserted more wealth has been dissipated by unwise political action | since the armistice than was destroyed during the World War. He said tax burdens must be reduced and govern- | mental costs cut. i “If our Representatives in Congress ! would only display half the good sense, | patience, thrift and resourcefulhess which the masses of our citizenship are | showing in this ordeal we would pass! lhirdcugh it much more speedily,” he said. | From this he suggested that politics | be “adiourned” as i war time. | Text of Einstein's Speech. ‘The text of the speech by Prof. Ein- ste.n last night follows: “First, I wish to express my hearty | thanks to the Oberlaender trust of the | Carl Schurz Foundation for inviting me | to make this journey to America. It is at their commission that I make this speech. “With the same heartiness, I wish hereby to thank my friend Toman (Richard Chace Tolman, mathematical chemist) for translating my manuscript into English, “Finally, I wish to beg your indul- gence for my imperfect pronunciation of English, which as yet I have not Dbeen able to overcome. “Before I enter upon my actual sub- | Ject, I must remove two obstacles which stand in the way. “The first of these is the obstacle of | the black dress suit. When men come | together on ceremonial occasions at- | tired in their dress clothes, they create about themselves as a matter of routine an atmosphere from which the realities of life with their severity are excluded. There is an atmosphere of well-sound- ing oratory that likes to attach itself to dress clothes. Away with it! “Second Obstacle in Words.” “The second obstacle lies in words and other symbols which are laden with emotion. Although, indeed, words exist for the most part for the trans- mission of ideas, there are some which produce such violent disturbance in our feelings that the role they play in the transmission of ideas is lost in the background. “‘One has only to think cf the word heretic at the time of the inquisition— of the word Communist for the present- day American—of the word bourgeoise In Russia—of the word Jew for the re- actionary group in Germany—of the word honour, prestige, fatherland in nearly all of the countries of our pres- ent world. The use of such words is adapted for the driving out of all rea- son and the setting up of emotion in its place. This I should like to call the obstacle of the tabu. “From both of these obstacles we wish to make ourselves as free as -hu- man strength allows, and without scruples, quietly and cbmposedly, place ourselves face to face with the naked Teality. “No one can deny that we are passing today, not only through an international crisis in economic life, but also through Jjust as severe a crisis in international commerce, and quite generally in inter- national co-operation in all domains. With this crisis are connected emo- tional tensions between governments and peoples, which can be alleviated only by the dispassionate investigation of their causes. “In the foreground there stands the problem of the mutual indebtedness of countries. as a result of the World War. Viewed from a certain distance. it is actually for the most part the indebted- ness of Europe to America. Under the circumstances one hears the expressions ' Safe Pleasant Way - TO LOSE FAT How would you like to lose 15 pounds of fat in a month and at the same time {ncrease your energy and {mprove your ealth? through the war debts; and it cannot be doubted that the fear of foreigners on the part of the Germans, which ex- presses itself in their internal political life in such an unhappy manner, is activated to a high degree by this as- sumption. If this view were correct, it would then be impossible to under- stand the severe economic crisis in America; the economic connection of | this great country with the outside ! is certainly not closc. enough to ex- -plain the depression in America as due in the main to the economic | failure of Europe. “Human Labor Eliminated.” “According to my conviction, it can- not be doubted that the severe eco- nemic depression is to be traced back for the most part to internal econcmic causes; the improvement in the ap- paratus of production through technical invention and organization has de- creased the need for human labor, and thereby caused the elimination of a part of labor from the economic circuit, and thereby caused a progressive de- crease in the purchasing power of the consumers. “The spreading of this view would be important, since thereby alone a dangerous source of the mutual em- bitterment of the nations would be set aside; from this understanding would also grow the spiritual forces | which could lead to the overcoming | of the crisis. | “A third problem must here still be mentioned, since it concerns Germany and stands 2t present in the foreground | of interest, namely, Germany's demand for military equality.
