Matters of pressing importance the Monroe County Baseball’ To the casual thinker the over- flow of money in the banks may seem a sure sign of prosperity. In- congruous as this may seem. it is just as harmful as too much wheat in the elevators, or too much pork in the storage plants. Instead of indicating buying pow- é it indicates a lack of buying power. You have to buy money from banks just as you buy gro- ceries and hardware from the stores. There are not enough peo- Pie able to afford buying money from the banks on the terms bankers, as a rule, demand. People to whom bankers would willingly make loans are, broadly speaking, persons need the money. Those who would gladly accept the loans, and who could do more constructive ex- Panding on a little borrowed capital, are, mainly, persons classified by the bankers as poor risks. Some plan must be warked.out to aid both the<banker. with his too much monty “and:; the. plain, honest ‘eitizeri' with, his need. for money. ‘Sineé “the two: ane, seem, ingly unable 't6" mateh. y with supply, someone;.¢B¢; musk who do not portant—it commits the National* Government to the principle of old-age protection through pen- sions without casting upon the beneficiaries thereunder the stig- ma of charity. But with all that, the status of the progtam is yet wholly experimental. It is felt that President Roosevelt would gladly welcome a more workable plan, one which might give the country something more desirable than the not altogether workable Social Security law as it now stands. It is sensed that he might revamp the whole pension strut- give the people a program that will pay direct Federal pensions of $30 a month, minimum, and make this the sole function of the Government, independent of what the several states may or may not render in the way of co- operative assistance.. Something like this would save us millions upon millions we are now spend- ing,for emergency relief .This, in- Meet. KO Ig; be a noble experi- ment, an BUR. priming. ees ‘other Unelected high offi- w?etains such a hold upon the turn the trick. “And plainly, the respect of members of all political problem is hitched to distribution, thus it becomes a national prob- lem. a aae Roosevelt bears the historical distinction. of being the first oecu- pant of the White House to recog- nize old-age pensions as a moral obligation of the U. S. govern- ment. Had his administration brought into existence nothing construc- tive besides this, the name of Franklin D -Roosevelt would still go down in history as that of a great President, a far-secing Statesman, an outstanding and friendly helper of mankind. This will be remembered of him long after posterity forgets to remem- ber him as either a Democrat or a Repulbican. Admitting that the present Social Security Law is in- adequate and insufficient, and not all who need and deserve pen- | sions are getting pensions under it, and that the present set-up is not commensutable and not work- able in many of the weaker or more indifferent states, it still stands as a milestone in human progress and social achievement in America.

Yet when we sought througkout the ranks of contuma- cious New Deal castigators, both Democratic Lucifers and Repub- licans, as well as the “peace-at- any-price” claques, for at least one who would give expression to even moderate, harsh or captious judgment against the policies or person of Mr. Secretary Hull, we met with defeat. Mr. Hull, it seems, combines diplomacy with Statesmanship and devotion to duty, and it is said of him that he cgnnot dis- tinguish a Republican from a Democrat. He shuns the pomp and heraldy of vainglorious pub- licity—just keps busy doing a good job of keeping us out of war.

A copy of this new book has been sent me and it proves to be of unusually fine sort: a remark- ably well done matter. It is the authoritative history of the greatest Boy Movement in history. Unfortunately its size causes a cost of $3.00 per copy— yet, at that, every Scout Troop and every scout official should have 4 copy of it: it is not merely a history, it covers actual work. ete., right now, and the full scope of Scouting.
