They find it difficult to un- derstand the absence of such freedom in ! many sections of the world. The result is that, at there arises strong protest in the United States times, ; over the attitude of foreign government J “K, Gon. | siderable group of Americans object _ to,” to religious and other association and vociferously demand , action ‘against, scheme of government, Mexico’s internal affairs, and, recently some Methodists are con- | cerned over the fact that the Polish Gov- | ernment seems determined to run_ their missionary enterprise out of Poland. may object but policies adopted by other which means absence of governmental in- terference with the affairs of religious, | might as well devote their time and energy | to the mainterance of this ideal. We are familiar with the activity of Father Coughlin, Detroit's radio priest, and bythe doings of Bishop Cannon, who was, ex- tremely active in the days of prohibition. Newspapers abound with ies concern- ing the addresses delivered in temples of While it is very hard to tell when a discussion of so- cial evils becomes a political tirade there occur examples that are beyond dispute. A CATCHY AD How people will respond to some- thing which appeals to their curiosity is it- lu:tratel in a story from Budapest, where a bookseller circulated an advertisement, translated as follows: “What must a young girl know be- fore marriage? From, the book which. I supply to order, the young girl will learn, not what every young girl is told before matriage, but what the young girl of to- day will find it indispensable to know if she is to prove: herself really modern. For reasons easily to be understood, it is not advivable to sell such a book over the coun- ter, but on receipt of the price, four pen- goe, it will be sent, discreetly packed, to any address.” The price quoted is about the equiv- alent of one dollar, so orders poured in by the thousands. Not only young girls, but persons of both sexes and all ages, bought eagerly in the expectation of thrills. The books were delivered as promised, but were found disappointing. Some cus- tomers prosecuted the bookseller for fraud, but he was acquitted. It was held by the court that the books sold through the ad- vertisement really contained information which a “young girl should have before marriage.” AS They were cook books. NO LACK OF WORDS He How often do we find difficulty in} fhinking of just the right word to express a certain idea? often stop to weigh their words in order to hit upon the most appropriate one, while few speakers can observe all the niceties of expression without writing out their speeches and memorizing them, before- hand, These difficulties are not due to any lack of words in the English language, however. Possibly it may be a result of our having too many to choose from. The latet unabridged dictionarics contain more than 400,000 words, and the list is increasing constantly. Noah Webster’s first dictionary, pub- lished in 1828, contained only -about : 70,- 000 words, the edition of -1864 included 114,000; that of 1890 about 175,000, as 400,000 , recognized A leading lexicographer “é8timates that the educated person of fair ability understands on an average about 50,000 words, but uses only a small part of that ' 8,000 words out of the 490,000 available. An interesting experiment is to in- spoken out bravely for peace. The wife of the President has convictions and opin- ions of her own on this subject and she is not afraid to express them. spect a few pages of an unabridged dic- tionary and count how many words out of a hundred you are really familiar with, both as to spelling and meaning.

An important one is the deliber- ate attempt to maintain wages at an artificial level, the the- ory being that thus would the purchasing power be sus- tained and un- employment reduced. A depression is character- ized, of course, by a diminution in the demand for | goods. During the period preceding a depression, when goods move free- ; ly, producers increase their output, and dealers increase their stocks, in order to be in a position to meet the demand. But with depression demand declines. Producers and...dealers, | -eaught with large stocks, must expect to-reduce prices so as to work off the goods. Once their stocks are depleted or gone, however, they will not con- tinue indefinitely to provide more unless they can reduce their costs sufficiently to permit operation at a lower price level. If the depression is at all severe, there must be a re- duction in wages, so that the employer of labor can reduce his prices, and thus revive the declining demand. If there is no reduction in wages the producer will ordinarily attempt to keep up the price of his product, TODAY’S Lowest ilighest st night last 24 hours - 54 30 30 22 38 22 42 22 58 - 74 24 . 40 38 68 42 52 28 58 24 50 30 46 Station— 1.

But this obviously means that the output will be reduced; and many laborers will lose their jobs. Harsh as it may seem, therefore, to advocate that wages be reduced in a period of depression, it is even harsher to adhere' to a course that will force many persons into the ranks of the unemployed. It is mistaken policy to maintain wages and prices so high that the demand for commodities is not great enough to keep labor employed. To say that employment would be increased if wage rates were more flexible is not to express any disap- proval of trade unions, but merely of trade union policy during the depres- sion. Trade unions perform a useful function in eliminating a multiplicity of individual bargains and in pre- venting the exploitation of labor. But if they insist upon the maintenance of wage rates during a depression, they insist, in effect, upon an increase in the volume of unemployment. In this policy the trade unions during this depression have had the active support of the government, with the result that the volume of unemploy- ment continues at high levels. The administration blames the employers for the continuance of the huge amount of unemployment, but it is itself to blame more than the employers. Its currency experiments, its extravagant expenditures involv- ing a heavy burden of taxation, its competition with private industry, its labor policies, and numerous other policies have deprived the busi- ness and investing interests of the confidence that is a prerequisite to the long term investment of funds.
