Econ moral, ethical, re- ligious and political institutions and conditions are mirrors reflecting the majority of the public. The poor, for instance, hate the rich and condemn the system that permits a few to have the lion’s share of the world’s wealth. This is true in our generation. It has always been true—since the most physically powerful prehistoric man made the weak pay tribute to him. The poor tolerate the existence of gigantic fortunes be- cause deep in their hearts they nurse the hope that some day they, too, will be in the rich class. They don’t want to destroy the goal they aspire to. As long as there’s a chance for the poverty-stricken man to become wealthy, the rich need have no fear of being seriously disturbed People do not burn down a house they hope to inherit. ¢ 8 8 A NEWSPAPER is a mirror of its readers. The man who reads a conservative paper is a conservative at heart. The man who devours radical publications is a dyed-in-the-wool radical—whether he has the courage of his convictions or not. You can discover the character, emotional balance and mental state of a man or woman by observing what they read. You will also discover their suppressed functions —as when a weakling reads a physical culture magazine or a timid man submerges himself in virile stories of the great open spaces. Suppressed functions is the thing we yearn for without power to obtain it. ar * RAFT on a big scale is a mirror reflecting petty dis- lionesty among the public. Dishonesty is not just a matter of theft; it exists wherever a man fails to give a fair return for what he gets, either in commodities or service. The merchant reading his scales a bit in his favor is the genesis of graft by some large corporations. The customer who snitches a ripe plum when the grocer isn’t watching, or who fails to pay his fare when the conductor overlooks him, is a contributor to the system of big plunder. In politics, too. Government is just as good or just as bad as the average of the people governed. When public ethics are lax, watch for graft in high places. When as in the last presidential election—nearly half the eligible voters fail to go to the polls, it reveals an indifference as to whether government is honest or crooked. The people are the tree; conspicuous conditions, the fruit. Gone Are the Days— (L‘AREWELL to the good days when an American tour- ist could go to Germany and live for next to nothing. German prices are skyrocketing as a result of the attempts at currency stabilization, returning tourists report. ‘ In Hamburg a room with bath in a second-rate hotel now costs $5 a day, American money. Lunch for two, with beer, is $5—tho the amount of beer consumed isn’t stated. It must be a lot, for the government recently repealed its regulations that restricted beer to less than 6 per cent alcohol. Prying Into China EE YUK-TIN, rich Chinese banker, visits New York and brings for exhibition relics buried 1,000 years be- fore King Tut was born. These relics were dug up 18 feet underground, near Canton, China, from the grave of an ancient king. They are marvelous artistic crea- tions of carved jade, bronze and delicate porcelain. China in the next few years will be the center of the world’s attention in excavations into the forgotten past. The Chinese claim their authentic history dates back to a high degree of civilization 22,000 years ago. We have much to learn from them—including their system of in- heriting debts as well as legacies.
