Is suggestive of enlightment which may lead to eome desirable public reform In the manner and method of kNS spending the public funds The costs of government have risen rapidly in the last score of years There have been periodical protests from the tax payers but these have been more or less confined to the periods designated for payment of taxes Public officials accept them as passing stor and

Chinese government to call aq International silver conference IS riot enough What ever can or can not be done for the silver market this moment of China’s groping In the dark for a helping hand offers the western powers their rolden opportunity to restore aome-hln- g like stability to the uneasy Orient Instead of meticulous reservations about the propriety of Chinese auspices for a meeting to discuss silver such as various Washington correspondents ascribe to them President Hoover and Secretary Stlmson should lose no time In extending open encouragement to Nanking to take the first step For the Nanking group with all its shortcomings Is not only the nearest approach to a government that China has but holds out the only discernible promise of an ear)y restora tlon of comparative order among four hundred millions of people borIt has a right dering on anarchy to expect a decent consideration from the western peoples together with every practical manner of assistance that ctn reasonably be devised In prestige alone which weighs in China as Slmost nowhere else Nanking would gain Immeasurably If the United States should officially and In advance welcome Its overtures to a

Tribune: For the softening of the Intensity of our present anom alous econmic system some other means than politics— that divide the people— must be tried as tills is found to be ineffectual to cope with the situation Your editorial "Time and a Place" calls to mind the story of “a lobster when left high and dry among the rocks had not urge and energy enough to work his way back to the sea but waits for the sea to come to him If it does not come he remains where he is and dies although the slightest effort would enable him to reach the waves which are tossing and tumbling within a yard The world today is too full of human lobsters stranded on the rocks of traditional political organizations calmly waiting for some grand billow of future fortune” and as you say "with the perplexities of modem life attributed by world leaders and many economists” yet the masses are "drifting for the time In the main currents of adversity by pure chance and without any charted effort to direct their course” while many politicians play with silver gold free and protected tariff schemes There can be neither security or assured prosperity In our present economic society while depending upon those who control centralized wealth and political affairs "Limp thinking Is to no way to be trustedPnd the future is of moment to us all" Why should the common people like the lobster remain on the rocks
