Accepting New Ideas It is a common saying that the radicalism of yesterday is the accepted program, for the conservatives of tomorrow. Sometimes, however, even the radicalism of today docs not look so terribly" radical when it is examined closely. Norman Thomas Socialist candidate for president in 1928, has just Writ ten a book called "America's Way Out." In it he set3 forth a brief platform for dealing with economic andT social problems. It includes these planks : 1 -Ascertaining from month to month the number of the unemployed, "at least as accurately as we know the number num-ber of pigs." 2 Setting up a system of publicnon-profit-making employment em-ployment agencies to connect the unemployed worker with a job efficiently and cheaply. 8 Adopting a long-range planning system whereby useful public works can quickly be speeded up at the ap-, ap-, proach of business depression. 4 Setting up unemployment insurance as part of a com(prehensive scheme of social insurance. . 5 Controlling the rate of introduction of machinery so as to give time to plan 'for the absorption of displaced workers work-ers by increased demand for goods and by a decrease in the length of the working Week. And Mr. Thomas adds : ' m . "To these principal points may be added the rigid prohibition prohi-bition of child labor under 16 and the re-education of older , w6rkers for other work when the progress of machinery and technique or the shift of demand renders them, superfluous in their former trades.? V Here, then, wc have a leading Socialist's program for dealing with situations such as that which arose in the late fall of 1929; and the most notable thing "about it, at first lanc is the fact that it hardly seem,-? radicaat all. , 5efirst three planks, indeed, are advocated by practically prac-tically everyone who has given the matter any thought at all. lne fourth is commonly urged by many people who would resent being called radicals; the fifth is; surely, mild enough to be voiced anywhere without drawing down ' remarks re-marks about Moscow. - - iL?!? developed chiefly because it seemed to many people that the scramble for private nrofits JwfX uisregara ox au numian values.

The number of passengers carried bfi. the railroads was the smallest, in 25 years and the passenger earnings of the railroads were less than any rear since 1916. .Virtually unregulated highway competition that is, in effect, government subsidized now -is making serious inroads jn the freight tonnage of the railroads. This does not mean that your railroads are in danger of being abandoned. aban-doned. Far from that. But, this new form of unfair competition is seriously affecting the rail carriers. v Faced with losses in 30 to 50 per cent in freight tonnage that represents the "cream" skimmed from the business, the railroads, in addition, are confronted with continually.decreasing revenues as a result of countless rate adjustments, the final effect of which is an ever lower level of rates and revenues. The present situation is the railroads supplanted steamboats. Then, as now, the railroads were more than amply able to take care of all the traffic. But, if the unregulated, unregu-lated, subsidized competition on highways and waterways should now destroy or cripple the railroads these father kinds of transportation could not begin to take care of tire transjxir-tation transjxir-tation requirements of this country. For instance, in normal good times, the freight traffic of this country approximates 1,000,000 cars a week. Allowing three ions per truck it would require 10 million trucks, and allowing only 50 feet per truck it would take 100,000 miles of highways to line up enough trucks end to end to load this traffic. It doesn't require much of an imagination to picture-what would happen if the railroads should cease to function. . rffl The railroads cannot adjust themselves and their -service to meet the present unregulated competition. If the competition, especially tliat on the highways, is properly stabilized the railroads can be counted upon to continue to provide the best and cheapest transportation in. the world. -s . .
