- HOPE FORCOUNTRY 1 SEEN IN-SILVER John H. Janney, Economist, Tells House Coinage Com- mittee of Advantages. By the Associated Press. John H Janney of New York told the House Coinage Committee today that in considering pending silver ‘bills it was “getting to the only piece of blue sky in the whole economic horizon.” He is president of the American So- ciety of Practical Economists. “Your object is to protect the integ- Tity of the gold standard—the gold dol- lar,” Janney said. ‘“Your problem is solved when you balance the supply of and demand for gold. “It can be done, and is proposed in the bill presented to you by your chair- man, Mr. Somers. “When you make only one thing of monetary value, you make possible a corner of that thing. That is what has happened to the world today with gold. Supports Silver. “You must get another commodity to use as money. If you can get a com- modity that would not increase in pro- duction, that already has an intrinsic value, that cannot be cornered and that can be given a fixed and sound value in terms of gold, you have found your remedy. “Silver is that commodity. “If you keep on like you have been going, you can make it an issue on the floor of whether a man will vote for or against continuing the depression.” Enactment of the Somers bill to per- mit the purchase of silver for use as monetary reserve, Janney testified, would “reinstate confidence in Asia, re- instate buying power in Asia, and cre- ate a condition that would solve the most_delicate problems of the Orient in which we are vitally interested and without it costing us a cent.” “You would be placing the money that these people have been using for 4,000 years on such a basis in our mar- kets that they would not plant ocotton and other products they used to buy from us, and would -thus keep them undermining economic conditions in the United States. Foreign Agreement Essential. “Sixteen to one monetization or any other fixed ratio is absolutely impossible unless you get foreign nations to agree to it, and you cannot get them to agree because some of them would have to accept unfavorable economic reaction. “Therefore, the United States alone has gol to solve this. The Somers bill is so framed that it would meet any set of unfavorable conditions that could be brought about. FORMER SHOWMAN, W. W.

[} BY WILLIAM FIELDING OGBURN, Research Director, President’s Research “Commitiee on Recent Social Trends. I have been asked by the Associated Press to select the 10 most important problems before the American people. From the hundreds set forth by the report of the President’s Committee on Social Trends, the result of three years of intensive study of our social life, and from a_lifetime of study and observa- tion, I have picked these 10. If I had been allowed to choose & dozen or a score, the list would have included some which the reader may note as conspicuous by their absence. 1 have tried to be guided by a sense of what is practicable for the near future. These will, I hope, serve to direct the attention of the manifold agencies which determine our public policies to- ward the most severe stresses of the future as well as toward the oppor- tunities for directing our steps forward. 1. How to End Depressions. Our present economic distress, with its millions of unemployed and its tens of thousands of bankruptcies and its tens of millions of lowered incomes, is nct a collapse of civilization. It is merely the downward trend of the busi- ness cycle. The trend has been so severe that the farmer was justified in remarking that “it was too bad hard times had to come along with the business depres- sion,” and many of us are warranted in thinking it the beginning of the end. But good times will return. But what a wreckage will be left in the wake of the depressicn! 'I‘hesg influences spread far and wide. They lower the standard of living, de- crease the number of marriages, crease the suicide rate, cut down the budgets for education, spread the terror of unemployment into millicns of homes, reduce incomes, ruin businesses and increase crimes. Business depressions fall upon the farmer with particular severity. He has enough food to eat usually, though farmers are being helped in various States by our relief stations. Farmers Hard Hit. The farmer does not cut down his production as does the factory owner, hence the prices of what he sells fall more than the prices of what he buys. His income falls more than his costs. ‘The farm, however, breaks the shock for the worker more than the city, be- cause there is more food and shelter and greater aid because of family tles. Depressions have some good effects. They force us to clear out the dead weed and eliminate the accumulated wastes of more prosperous times. There is better church attendance and greater use of libraries. But the evils far, far outweigh the good. Smoothing Business Cycles. A major problem of our economic or- ganization is to lessen the intensity of these economic depressions, which means more stability in business and a reduction of boom times as well as hard times. To smooth out the business cycle is greatly to be desired. Apparently we don’t know enough about them to control them. There is, however, for the near future, a modest hope that the swing of these business fluctuations may be lessened somewhat, though not eradicated. ‘We do not see clearly enough to fore- cast what the more distant future may yield. Apparently a major difficulty is the unequal flows of credit and of pro- duction, and it appears that in_most cycles an important factor is the fluctu- ation in our money and credit system. The barometer is the price level. Sweden has been able to maintain a stable price level for a number of months, largely through the control of interest rates. Certainly a closer control over our money and credit must be in any eco- nomic program of the future. Balanced Output and Demand. Another source of difffculty not un- related to the foregoing is the fact that production tends to increase faster than the capacity to purchase. Equalizing the flows of consum) and production undoubtedly calls for a closer control over production and a more careful study of the changes in consumption. Our economic system stimulates production more readily than consumption. But whatever plans are laid for such a program there is little doubt that in- ternational co-operation will be needed. Our Nation is linked too closely with the other nations, no matter what our wishes, to go it alone. This point was never so forcibly im- pressed upon us as by the present de- ression, which was largely caused by ternational credit difficulties and by the sudden withdrawal of the artificial stimulation to business in foreign coun- tries beginning in 1914 and ending in the late 1920s. If the way out cannot be clearly seen, it may be permissible to remind the reader that the purpose here is to point out the problem and not tn sive the solution. But there is no reason we should be denied the hope that human intelligence may in time meet with some success in lessening the ravages of business de- pressions. Tomorrow, “Keeping Pace With the Machine.” ' Teehnol plied science go forward than our social organizations, ideologies. laws, customs and habits. ' Machines killed millions before accident preven- tion and workmen’s compensation. ~The family has not yet adapted itself fo fac- tory and city. Most of our social prob- lems are due to these lags, and the promise of the future lies in the speed- ing-up of social invention, Dr. Ogburn asserts in his next article. —_— RESIDENCE DEMOLISHED BECAUSE OF HIGH TAXES Heirs of Late Millionaire Oil Spec- ulator Unable to Find Tenants for Mansion. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, February 8.—The palatial mansion of the late J. C. Mec- Dowell, who amassed a fortuhe of $60,000,000 in the gas and oil business, is being demolished because, his son says, “taxes are too high and there are no tenants.” A stained, leaded glass window that formerly was at the head of the stair- case will be taken to Victoria, Tex., where Horace McDowell, the son and heir, is now living. It will be placed in a new Methodist iscopal Church to be built in memorial to his parents. McDowell began his business life as an oll driller. He was a ploneer in the field of natural gas and the first heat- ing unit employing it was in the house being torn down. During his life time McDowell con- tributed more than $2,000,000 to the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, friends say. — PIED PIPERS NEEDED Chicago Opens Campaign to Rid City of Rat Swarm.

By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, February 8.—The of fraud in the election of Representa- tive John H. Overton to the United States Senate today considered what to do about the refusal of Seymour Weiss, one of Overton's campaign leaders and a political associate of Senator Huey P. Long, to answer questions. Mr. Weiss defied the committee at yesterday’s afternoon session and told them to go ahead, when Gen. Samuel T. Ansell, attorney for the committee, had threatened to have him put in jail for contempt. The witness, who declared *himself as “a sort of clearing house” for con- tributions and disbursements in the campaign, assumed a - belligerent atti- tude from the start. He was not pres- ent when called as a witness and Sen- ator - Howell, Republican, Nebraska, chairman, rebuked him and told him he must answer a committee’s subpoena. Answer Flatly Refused. Gen. Ansell said he stood in contempt of the committee by not -being present when called and charged him with be- ing prompted by Senator Huey P. Long, who a as counsel for Overton. Near the close of the hearing, Mr. Weiss flatly refused to answer the question as to why he did not deposit campaign contributions in a bank. “None of your business,” said Weiss. Chairman Howell ordered a five- minute recess and called . Weiss and Long out into the ante-room. He then ordered the session to proceed and the chairman later explained that charges of contempt could be filed against Weiss at the close of his tes- timony or later. Memoranda Destroyed. Weiss told the committee that he had destroyed the memoranda of ex- penses in the campaign, but said there was only a few dollars between the con- tributions and disbursements. He said he handled the money for the Long or- ganization in the campaign and that Senator Long solicited contributions. Allen Ellender, co-manager of the campaign, testified earlier in the day and admitted the use of dummy candi- dates in the election to obtain election the ballots. Ellender also admitted under questioning that campaign con- tributions were solicited from State empioyes.

DETROIT, February 8-—A Federal!M investigation of &lleged Communi:t | activity in two strikes among aut:mo- bile body workers here was & possi- bility today. A reque:t for intervention by Secre- tary of Labor Willlam N. Doak was made last night by Cal M. Weideman, Democratic Representative-elect in Con- gress. Weideman communicated with Washingten following receipt of a peti- tion which said that “an attempt is being made by certain groups who are opposed to our form of government to wrest control of said strike frcm loyal American citizens.” ‘The move to enlist the aid of the Federal Government in sifting the un- derlying cautes of the strikes and arbitrating differences followed the walkout yesterday of 3,000 workers at the Hudson Mctor Car Co. plant. This move affected a total of 6,000 employes. Briggs Production Normal. ‘With a strike at the Briggs body plant | in its third week, officials yesterday an- nounced that production "had reached normal with the filling cf the strikers’ places. More violence was reported at the Briggs plant. Street cars carrying workers to and from the plant were stopped in spite of a plea issusd yes- terday by the management of the municipally-owned property stating that the street railways had maintained a strict neutrality during the strike and asking that the rights of its passengers be respected. One man was shot, stabbed and three others beaten. Officials of the Hudson company joined Briggs executives in pointing an accusing finger at Communists. Both oumplnl: maintain that the strikes in their plahts have been artificlally in- duced by outsiders who have forced the employes, frequently againct their will, to join in the strik es. New Model Expected. While no definite announcement had been made by Ford Motor Co. officials, it was believed here that a new Ford mcdel was to be introduced in a few days. Henry Ford last week was quoted as saying that Ford plants would re- sume production as soon as a steady flow of bodies from the Briggs plant was assured. Ford officials predicted all factcries would be in production some time this week. ‘The trial of 51 persons arrested in hland Park in connection with the strike began yesterday with the arraignment of 3 women charged with assaulting a woman worker at the Briggs plant. Each demanded a jury trial. DISREGARDS DIVORCE GEARY WON IN TOKIO Wife Seeks to Fix Blame for Al leged Removal of Holdings in New York State. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 8—Attorneys for Mrs. John Richard Geary, ignoring a divorce granted her husband Friday by a Tokio court, announced yesterday they would move for the appointment of a referee to determine what property Geary had in New York State at the :Lmel Mx;“g;‘nry commenced suit for legal se] : They said an attempt would be made to fix responsibility for the alleged re- moval of Geary's holdings here, as well as to ascertain if any of his property remained in the State. Geary was president of the General Electric Co. of Japan and Far Eastern representative of the domestic concern. Mrs. Geary’s suit for legal separation is based on a charge of cruel and in- human - treatment and abandonment. She alleges, among other things, that Geary adopted an Oriental attitude to- ward his family, in which the wife “must look upon him (the husband) as if he were heaven itself and never weary of thinking how she may yield to her husband, and thus escape celestial cas- tigation.” Each month, she alleged, he published a typewritten set of house rules gov- erning her behavior and if she broke onc her allowance was cut.
