One" of the curious aspects of the
national program Is that it appears
to forestall all except two kinds of
criticism. If you are seriously bent
on criticizine. vou can resort to
carping and quibbling, to those fruit
less pot shots at isolated elements in
the program which by their frag
mentary character betray their own
ineptitude and come to nothing; or
you can adopt the red point of view
and reject the whole program as an
instrument of capitalism. But be
yond this, there are not many oppor
tunities for attack. Every measure is
so bound up with the others, and the
whole complex is so married to the
fundamental objective of recovery,
that there is not much to be said un
less one comes out flatly against re
covery.
This is why even Caret Garrett,
ultra-conservative writer in the
ultra-conservative Saturday Evening
Post, can find little ammunition to
Are at the administration which has
practically ruined conservatism with
in a few short weeks. He is com
pelled to devote himself to a superb
analysis of the special session legis
lation, to utter a few bitter comments
on the government's "Immoral'
breach of contract in leaving the gold
standard, and to contend that we are
going through a revolution and are
under a dictatorship.
People who talk about dictatorship
generally are hoping that the recog
nition of it will fan resentment In
our liberty-loving hearts. As a mat
ter of fact, the present "dictatorship"
leaves us calm and undisturbed, be
cause we nave learned and have
often practiced the truth that in
time of national emergency the or
dinary mechanism of representative
democracy is simply too slow to. cope.
with fast-moving events. In . time of
war we agree without a murmer to
Inject a little oil into the representa
tive mechanism, to speed it up, by a
concentration of powers. Why not
in an economic crisis? The only
novelty in the present "dictatorship"
is the recognition that national de
pression is as acuL3 a crisis as war.
Having recognized it this time, we
do not hesitate to grant extraordin
ary powers to the country's chosen
leader.
So, too, the popular talk about
"revolution" usually represents loose
thinking. Garet Garrett says we are
in the midst of a revolution because
the Roosevelt program was designed
to effect a transfer of wealth. It is
quite true that the agricultural ad
justment act seeks to transfer wealth
from consumers to farmers by means
of a processing tax and a bounty for
restricted production, as well as by
higher farm prices. It is quite true
that inflation seeks to transfer
wealth from creditors to debtors, by
giving debtors a cheaper dollar to
pay their debts with. But if we call
this revolution, where are you go
ing to find a time that was not a
time of revolution? The first stage of
the depression, when prices were
falling and the value of the dollar
rising, was effecting a transfer ot
wealth from debtors to creditors.
Ever since 1921 the purchasing pow
er of farmers has been steadily drain
ed away from them and transferred
to other classes. And there is not a
single year in the course of the busi
ness cycle when wealth is not being
"transferred" from one clas3 to an
other through variations in relative
prices, changes in purchasing power,
changes in the value of the dollar.
On Garet Garrett's theory, then, we
can only conclude that the country
ha3 been in a state of permanent
revolution for years. .
mi
ae itougeveii program is not a
"revolution." though it might con
ceivably become one if tendencies be
gun In the industrial recovery and
agriculture acts develop Into pertnan
ent factors in our national life. But
so far. the Roosevelt program Is
simply a drastic program to meet a
drastic situation. - It is exactly what
It is called a recovery, program to
recover something that was lost.

Fourteen Were killed and ten
BUT NOW TRAIN CREWS
L00K THE OTHER WAY
A long freight train was pulling
throueh Missouri Valley. The gates
were down, and motorists were stop
ped as the heavy train went by. It
seemed, of course, that it was miles
long and that it went ever so slowly
Trains are always like that in the
opinion of the motorist on a grade
grossing.
A group of men of all ages stood
in an open freight car. There were
eight or more in the group. Both
doors of the car were open. It was
hnt. That grave ventilation. The
men were looking but as their train
pulled by. They did not look scared
and they were not. They had no fear
of police or town marshals. They
stood there unafraid as far as inter
ference from the law was concerned.
It was as though they had shipped
themselves and were paying freight
to the railroad company.
More cars passed, some loaded,
some with doore closed and sealed
On top of a huge car sat two men.
On top of another were three. On
still another were four or five. Some
of them had suitcases and bags,
travel worn. Others had personal be
lonsrincrs tied up In bundles. And
they were riding out in the open.
They, too, were unafraid as if they
had bought tickets or paid freight on
human shipments.
No brakemen were engaging these
men m encounters, uney wer not
going around, ordering them off un
der pain of swift kicks or anything
of the kind. They were permitting
them to ride. How different from the
old daj3 when brakemen performed
detective duty and looked for weary
Willies who were riding the rods!
A railroad man was asked about
this great change in the attitude of
train crews toward these riders,
these men who were "beating their
way" from one place to another. He
knew all about it. He, too, had seen
trains pass with many riders out in
the open, unmolested by trainmen.
He had known about it even since the
depression began, ever since millions
of men found themselves unemploy
ed and moving about the country
hoping against hope that if condi
tions were not better when ' they
reached their unguessed destination
they would be 'no worse. "Train
crews, he said, "have been looking
the other ' way for the last two or
three 'years when going about 'their
work." They did not molest therritT
ers, who outnumbered them for one
thing and for whom they and rail
road executives had a newly de
veloped sympathy.
A curious thing, this constant wan
dering about the country of men and
boys who do not know where they
are going nor why. Freight trains
carry thme. Others give the thumb
signal of the hitch-hiker. What a
pity that proud America should per
mit such human flotsam and jetsam
when she might give them the hon
est chance they seek! Sioux City

CAPITAL AND LABOR
MUST WORK TOGETHER
Government does not intend to
stand aside if employers and em
ployes get into a quarrel over ques
tions involving collective bargain
ing, wages and working conditions
as provided under, the National Re
covery Act. That r is shown by the
prompt action in arranging a truce
in the soft coal industry, where a
strike of 35 thousand In Pennsyl
vania over the right to unionize
threatened to spread to 200 thour
sand men within the next 10 days.
Had this ahppencd, recovery would
have been dealt a staggering blow,
since the revival of manufacturing
depends upon coal, and factories
have scant storage..
The miners, to their credit, have
agreed to accept for the time, exist
ing conditions as to hours, wages and
the question of unionization, pend
ing the approval by government of
a code for the industry. A board of
mediation is to iron out any differ-

This is the age of change, and as

the more purely social aspect of our
civilization, an age of reversion to

Isn't too safe to be skeptical about
the dancing masters who foresee a
return to square dances, gavottes,
polkas and shottisches as a trend of
the dancing times. There is a not
able tendency in this direction in
the middle west,, it appears, and lest
sophisticated easterners should fancy
themselves immune to this leader
ship It will be recalled, that the pres
ent highly popular vogue for blcyc-
ing and roller skating had its origin
n those states. , A survey conducted
by the dancing masters showed that
any such rural function as that sug
gested by the name ""corn huskers'
ball" or "barn dance" was sure of a I
generous attention in the neighbor
hood of Sauk Center, and ginghams
and overalls may yet be seen as char
acteristic' dancing costumes on the
parquet at the Ritz. The popularity
of hill-billy songs and dance tunes
on the radio and concert programs
Is Eaid to be in part responsible for
the movement. .
Like other expert prophets In this
particular field of endeavor, the danc
ing . masters . are probably , not so
much prophets of the immediate fu
ture as of. spmething just a little far
tner off than this. A few years ago
the custom tailors of the land were
greeted with modulated hoots and
sneezes when they foresaw a vogue
of colored evening clothes for men,
but their prophecy has been moder
ately justified by tfce common ap
pearance today of oxford-gray dinner
jackets and midnight-blue tailcoats.
Trend finders of .this sort may well
be. taken seriously, albeit with the
proverbial grain of salt. New York

board of mediation to whom all dis
putes between' capital and labor
would be submitted.
If this country, is to avoid violent
and bitter struggles between those
big employers who belong to the old
tory wing and American labor, it
seems certain that government will
have to intervene in the great basic
industries to provide mdeiation of
disputes. Public opinion will demand
it. Those so-called captains of indus
try who strutted their stuff in '26-
'29 have had their chance to put the
country back on its feet. For four
years the public looked to them to
take the leadership and do some
thing, and they did nothing.
Government now has stepped in,
not from choice, but of necessity. It
would surprise some of these cap
tains who have not felt the pinch
of actual want to go out among peo
ple and hear what they are saying.
Millions, have guttered so much that
whatever government does will have
their support. , government finds
it necessary to nationalize basic in
dustries, the public will gie its sup
port. Moreover,.' it will do no good
for heads of corporations to appeal
to stockholders among the public to
help them block government. For
investigation hA?.. revealed too many
instances ,, In ,-which the insiders
mulcted their own stockholders by
stock manipulations and with
bonuses" to the high officials in
whom faith had been placed. And
the ordinary man suspects that the
half has not been told.
Nobody can.r,he sure where this
NRA experiment will lead us. How
far government. control goes depends
largely upon . the reasonableness of
both capital and labor. So far, most
of the threats of serious trouble have
arisen because cf the resistance of
the tory section of capital. But of
this everybody may be sure the
millions of both overall and white
collar men, after three winters of
suffering are now in a frame of mind
that will brook no interference with
the effort at recovery. Those who

It is, perhaps, fortunate that no
body has raised , the issue of state's
rights in connection with the great
transformation now taking place in
government. Probly it would have
done no harm f the question had
been raised. . (
Nevertheless, the rights of states
are going more or less by the board

problem transcends any state prob

Perhaps it 13 the universal ac
knowledgment of this fact, the gen
