Most observers and thinking citizens have been Inclined to take little stock Long and Q the talks of Long and Coughlin Senator Father Coughlin, the radio priest, concerning plans for redistribution of wealth. The consensus has been that their plans sooner or later would fall of their own weight. But It can be denied no longer that Long and Coughlin have developed a gigantic following of people who lack Information as to the fallacies of the arguments, however logical they sound, that have been spread by these politically smart showmen. One reason that serious attention to their proposals Is now necessary Is that some of their arguments are being advanced from high places In the federal government I refer specifically to the testimony before the house committee on banking and currency by Mnrriner S. Eccles, governor of the Federal Reserve board and as such the titular head of the nntlon's banking system. Mr. Eccles did not quite take a leaf out of Huey Long's book. He approached the position of the Louisiana senator, however, when he proposed a redistribution of Income, whereas Senator Long has urged a redistribution of wealth. Mr. Eccles suggested in his testimony In effect that It would be all right for a man with say ten million dollars In capital to keep that sum, provided his Income was redistributed. Mr. Eccles went back to the days immediately following the World war to Illustrate his argument and showed that at the top of boom one tenth of one the post-wa- r per cent of the families at the top of the Income received as much as 42 per cent of the families at the bottom of the list" Furthermore, he said that the single average family In the big Income class got as much as four hundred families at the bottom of the Income list. This of 1 per cent was unable to use all the Income In conhe continued. They sumption, therefore had to find an outlet In a As the Investment field. result, the capacity to produce Increased out of nil proportion to the capacity to consume. So Mr. Eccles took the position that a solution of the depression was a redistribution of this Income with the idea that It would Increase purchasing power In the lower brackets. The governor offered no explanation of how those In the lower Income class were going to obtain possession of the redistributed Income of the rich beenuse his argument stopped at the point where the government would take money by taxation. That Is the recognized weakness of the programs advanced hy Senator Long nnd Father Coughlin," nnd Governor Eccles showed no ability to solve the problem. ' On top of the outbursts by Long nnd Coughlin and the serious testimony ernor Central Bank by Eccles Senator Nye, the North Dakota Progressive, with a bill In the senate to create a central hank. Senator Nye's action has caused many huhtorous expressions. Here we have a senator who has fostered, even boasted about, progressive Ideas and has called himself a liberal. It Is necessary only to recall that the father of the central bank idea was the Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury. Senator Nye advances a bill with the thought that the central hank would avoid hamstringing of credit. I think financial experts all agree that this Is true. The thing widen Senator Nye overlooked, hon ever. Is that Mr. Hamilton's central bank collapsed and brought ruin and grief to thousands. The reason It collapsed was because In removing control of the banking facilities from bankers, the experienced whole thing had been turned over to the control of politicians who, generally speaking, are experienced only In politics. It seems paradoxical that the North Dakota senator should advance as a liberal scheme the creation of a central bank which one hundred and fifty years ago was the height of conservatism. The Nye legislation was offered In the sane week that Governor Eccles had proposed In his testimony on the banking bill In he house that the Federal Reserve board should have complete control of the credit expansion and contraction In this country. I believe most persons will have difficulty In considering the two schemes as separate and distinct It is to be noted that there are radical memat least ninety-nlbers of the house of representatives who are convinced that the federal reserve system has failed of Its purposes. Most of them have been repeating without rhyme or reason the accusation that bankers are refusing to make loans. They think, therefore, that if there Is a central bank or If credit control is placed e n In the reserve hoard and taken away from the federal reserve banks where It now reposes there will he additional loans forced out of the commercial banks. History Indicates, however, that this Is falNo business Is going to lacious. borrow money when It doesnt need It and neither is any person In his right mind going to make a loan unless he has nt least reasonable assurances of repayment. It will be recalled that President Rooseielt at one time spoke disparagingly of the refusal" of the bankers to make loans. The President subsequently learned that attempts to pump money out of banks must fall for lack of borrowers. I think everyone acquainted with conditions must agree that the Eccles idea and the Nye legislation means absolutely nothing in the way of recovery aids, for it has Hlways been true, you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink. The fallacies being put forward by Senator I.ong and Father Coughlin, nnd now being er Stop and nibbled at by ernor Eccles and Senator Nye obviously have been accepted by thouSenator Long sands of people. claims thnt at lpnst six million persons are supporting his scheme. It would seem to be the time, therefore, for citizens to begin to analyze the trend of events, If they are Influenced by such leadership. In connection with this trend, It Is Interesting to observe how much trouble Senator Long and Father Coughlin already have caused for the administration. It must be said frankly, Mr. Roosevelt and his advisers thus far have not found a wny to deal with It. They have tried fighting back and each time they have succeeded only In furnishing fresh ammunition for the team. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader In the senate, made one of his greatest speeches of criticism of Senator ling's schemes, but the result was only a fresh outburst by the Louisiana senator who took Robinson's own words and converted them to his use. I reported to you previously ' that the administration had prepared at one time to take action against Senator Long on income tax questions. But apparently the powers thnt be have decided thnt such a course. Instead of putting Long back In his place, would ntnke a nmrtyr of him. Among the observers here the belief prevails that the only way Longs attacks can be stopped nnd his tactics broken up is by ridicule. The administration has told congress that it wants to keep the NBA. Through Donald R. New Plana niehberg, some-fa- r NRA times called the assistant president, the administrations position was laid before the senate committee on finance the other day with the suggestion that the proposed new NRA should be confined to matters of interstate commerce. That is, the administration proposes that In extending the NRA for two years from the coming Jane 6 expiration date, It would apply only to Industry engaged In lines of commerce and endeavor that carries across some state lines. By the same token, the proposal would eliminate the codes of fair practices from application to service Industry and the could not, therefore, apply even to hours and wages In those local plants now under codes. Mr. Rlchbergs statement Immediately provoked discussion which certainly can he expected to Increase In volume because It Is In the nature of protests from those who claim to speak for labor. Sidney Hillman, of the NRA high command, Immediately protested as did William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. Each of these Individuals contended that the NRA would be a worse failure than It Is now If it were confined to the narrow definition of Interstate commerce and applied only to those industries. Mr. Hillman, who is labor's representative on the National Industrial Recovery board, when he learned of Mr. Riehherg's statement promptly struck back with an emphatic observation that the country would not permit such action. It Is unthinkable, he said, that congress will withdraw the only protection that the three million or four million underpaid, overworked and helpless workers In the service trades now have. Some of them as a result of the NRA are for the first time In their lives getting one day of rest a week and something a little better than the coolie wages they have been paid In the past.

When Shakespeare wrote: Home-keepinyouth have ever homely wits," he could not foresee a time when home-keepin- g youth, and adults for . that matter , could sharpen their wits by looking at the world by means of tiny sparks that maybe carried from one end of it to another. But although these opportunities are here, they will prove of scant value If people do not make use of them. And comparatively few people do, I think that the speakies are excellent, many of them. Even If their stories are too often florid, their settings enable one to get and keep a wider understanding of people all around the world than they could ever gain by mere reading and using their Imaginations. The Imagination has to have someusething to Imagine, or It is not very ful. There Is little doubt that within a comparatively few years we shall have sight with our sound. That means that we can look across the sea and witness events In foreign countries while they are actually happening. We shall be able to look out on the ocean, and see friends and acquaintances walking decks that are a thousand miles away from us. And they will be able to look at us. If they like us enough to do It, and to hear what we are saying to them. I am not convinced that another war will come immediately. I am not persuaded that it will come at all. But to prevent It, and at the same time to avail ourselves of all the possibilities for happiness which have been created by thinking and studying men, we have got to get rid of International disputes and hatreds, and with the endless endeavor to gain new territory which nations would not know how to use If they captured IL What blessings men may have a hundred years from now we do not know, and it will not make much difference to us. But, In our own individual cases we can help a little by being a little more charitable, and a little more sympathetic with our neighbors, and by cultivating an active dislike for the practice of carrying chips on our shoulders. Let dogs delight to bark and bite, says the old poem. Some of those eld Growls poems contain con- hard and Snarls sense. The growling and biting will go on In the kennels, but one would Imagine by this time that It ought to be eliminated from the living room and the business office. alterable Tempers are not easy to keep. But uhen you realize that the minute you lose your mental balance you slop thinking clearly, perhaps you will put a stronger curb on your utterances. I have worked In many offices, under many men. Never have I known a growler or a snarler who wouldnt have got more and better work out of those under him If he had been a little more tolerant of mistakes, and a little more sparing of hard words. In the prize ring the man who loses his temper loses the fight The man who beats his boy because he has been Impertinent, the woman who slaps her baby because it gets Into some mischief It knew no better than to get Into, are storing up trouble. It Is Just as sensible to get mad at a root which trips you up while yon are walking through the woods, or a door which slammed In the wind and hurt one of your toes. John Fiske said that George Washington, on one occasion when one of the men under him had done something foolish, threw his hat on the floor and stamped on it, or did something of the same irritated kind. But Washington did not loose any profanity when battles were going on, and neither did Grant or Lee or any other great generals. have heard that anger really breeds poisons In the system. Certainly It breeds poisons In the soul, poisons that are likely to prove very harmful. Learn. If you can, to accept misfortunes, even failures, with philosophy. Learn to forget hard words that are said to you, or the mistakes that people who are working with or for you or over you may make. Happiness is one of our heritages. It makes life pleasant, and it Is Ukely to make it more Successful. If, as you are advancing In years, you get grouchy, be careful. You may some day find yourself a sour and querulous old man. And If ever you need friends, and congenial ones, It Is when you are coming toward the end of the road. So cheer up. It cant hurt you. And It will probably do you no end of good. X |
