Intelligence is very much the knack of knowing where to find out. what one does not know. We got rid of the Golden Calf, and the Gold Standard, now the Golden Rule is fast nearing the vanishing point. It might be well if European states- men would accept fewer peace plans “in principle” and accept just one in fact. Minneapolis has almost twice the population of St. Paul. Hence the air of superiority of the one and the jealousy of the other: It is a peculiay anomaly of human na- ture that folks who enjoy a monopoly in their own lines of endeavor dislike having others delight in a similar situation.

Heretofore they have been able to dodge the blow by the simple expedient of halding on to their cash and their tax-free government securities. By hoarding their cash, they have kept it out of industry, stopped the wheels of factories and thrown millions into idle- ness, hunger and suffering. Most of their bonds, public and pri- vate, pledged payment in gold. They. have sntiled at the gold bargo. Since their bonds demanded redemp- | tion in gold they were well pleased to have Roosevelt require all the gold in the coun- try to be delivered up to the federal reserve banks. | They would get it sdon. But now the worm has turned, and in the next few months their guns will be played upon the Roosevelt administration. It was their demand for security that caused President Hoover to stand pat’ and do nothing to relieve the suffering of the masses. ‘ His adherence to the gold standard, his much ado about sound eurrency, meant nothing more nor less than a determina- tion that no matter how cheap commodi- ties might become, no matter how low | wages might sink, there must be no dimi- nution in the value of the contents of the strong-boxes of the profiteers who during the world war and since have exploited the patriotism, the optimism, the industry, and em- the ambitions of the American people. DIARMAMENT DOOMED Discovery that Norman H. Davis, American “Ambassador at Large” is one of those who accepted favors at the hands of the House of Morgan has not helped the cause of world disarmament, that idealis- tic dream of those who refuse to be prac- tical even at the expense of: human life. Davis had put his foot into his mouth by promising at Geneva that in return for general disarmament agreements the ‘United States would stand pledged to take up arms against any natiqn that invades another. This startling ‘statement, said to have had_ Roosevelt's approval, proposed a di- rect reversal of the traditional American policy of neutrality. It proposed the setting up of a policy which, had it been in effect a year ago, would have had us already at war against Japan for invading China. Fortunately the U. S. Senate has turn- ed thumbs down on the proposal. The incident perhaps has served to swaken a few more Americans to the total lack of European sincerity. in. its several disarmament gestures. They are for disarmament only so long as we do the disarming. INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM In an address before the Tennessee legislature, Prof. Gus. W. Dyer, editor of the Southern Agriculturist, gave the law- makers of his state some sound advice on ~economic ‘questions; in” which “he stressed the philosophy of.giving the greatest. pos- sible freedom to every individual. He warned against socialistic pater- nalism in government, pointing out the dis- astrous results which have followed such policies in European countries. By way of contrast, he cited the great industrial development of North Carolina, where Duke harnessed the waterpowers of the state, unhampered by burdensome restric- tions, and made it one of the most pros- perous in the Union. Prof. Dyer’s address to the lawmak- ers of Tenneszee was most timely, and the facts he presented might well be heeded by legislators of other states as well. Regulation of industry in a reasonable degree is sound public policy, but it can easily be carried so far as to interfere with progress, or stop it altogether. Industry should be given the greatest measure of | freedom consistent with the public inter- est.
