AN EASTERNER TAKES
BROAD NATIONAL VIEW
Congress should lieed the prssi
dent's request for approval of the
St. Lawrence waterway treaty.
It should do so tor the very "broad,
national reasons" Mr. Roosevelt cites.
The Evening Post might find it
politic to oppose the treaty, as Sen
ator Wagner has done. Eastern in
terests may be adversely affected by
thi3 seaway and the Evening Tost
most ce;tainly is concerned with the
future interests of its immediate
neighbors.
Lut just as the original 13 states
had to put aside their provincial
hopes and concerns to create the na
tion, so mu;t the nation face this
great project without the bias of sec
tionalism. What benefits one section of the
land, in the long run, benefits all
sections.
It was eastern sectionalism which
blocked the McNary-Haugen bill,
fought oif effective help for the mid
west farmer. Finally, the east was
forced to yield en the most expensive
and lca;t effective form of farm ie-
rence seaway.
Look, they cry,
the damage
which it will inflict upon the ports

Consider how it will bene fit j
the nidwest to the disadvantage of
the east. Look at the harm it will

Such damage, in the opinion of
the Evening Post, is usually over
stated. Moreover, it is our belief and hope
that this nation is just beginning to
enter the most prosperous era of its
history; that today we are building
ths foundations of a new and more
stable national economy.
This St. Lawrence seaway will be
completed about the time our national
needs will have expanded to provide
it with ample buriness and with
gain rather than loss to the Atlantic
seaboard.
One other factor must be consid
ered. Canada can, end probably will
build this seaway on her own if wc
do not ratify the treaty.
In that event this great natural
artery of water commerce "would be

E0RAII ON NATIONALISM
"Internationalism, if it means
anything more than the friendly
co-cperation between separate,
distinct, and wholly independ
ent nations, rests upon a false
foundation. And when under
taken, it will fail as in the name
of progress and humanity it
should fail."
These are the words of Senator
Rorah, speaking before the Council
of Foreign Relations, lie greeted the
spread of nationalism with enthu
siastic applause. He condemned iu
Urnationalism as an attack upon
"the strongest and noblest passion,
outside of those which spring from
man's relation to his God, that moves
or controls the impulses cf the hu
man heart." Therefore, let us have
nationalism the policy of Washing-
j ton. the policy of Jefferson. Let us
. h.ie freedom cf action, independence
It is a tempting creed. It fits in
with the drift of world affairs, with
the economic isolation which has tem
porarily been forced upon us. It an
swers the crying need for a solution
to problems that seem almost insur
mountable. It is easy. It is painless.
It is swift.
Yet problems are not solved by
this method of meeting them by
this easy-going refusal to battle for
their solution. Senator Bcrah, witn
all his eloquence and all his sound
common sense, is here advocating
that the world settle its great prob
lem by proclaiming that the problem
does not exist. Rut it does exist. Na
tionalism, if it Is accompanied by na
tional ambition, has in the past led
to war. If we are to achieve the su
preme civilization of abolishing war,
we must bring national ambition under--
tome-, kin if. of common control.
Can wc do this? Is it worth the ef
fort ?
Senator Borah is entitled to his
opinion that the feat is impossible. He
holds that the nationalist idea is so
firmly implanted in cur heads that
nothing can remove it r.ct even
what might be considered as a high
er idea, a higher emotion, of intsr
nr.tlcnal friendship. He may be right.
Perhaps it is impossible. But then
the consequence is clear: National
ambition continues rampant; nation
al conflicts go or.; war goes on; pro
grcss, dies a-borning.
Senator Borah is not content to
stop here. He enters the ethical
sphere with the premise that inter
nationalism not only will fail, but
should fail. This is another matter.
Why should it fail? Because. Sen
ator Borah says, it restricts tha free
dom of our people to remain aloof or
take part in foreign wars. Because it
hampers our independence of judg
ment. Because "people who have
bartered av.av or surrendered their
light to remain neutral in war have
surrendered their right to govern."
These are strong iersausions, and
to those who are sick and weray of
the world's futile attempt.1? to unite in
a common purpose they v. ill come as
a welcome ret !ase. But Senator
Borah has misdated the case. He
rrg'.ics that to "give up that part of
nationalism v.hieh involves national
ambition and national conflict is the
: ame thing as to trive- up independ
ence and freedom of action. If this is
trsi'e fsr rations, it ms.st be true for
individual;. Is is ignoble for an in
dividual to submit to the jurisdiction
of a court? Is it ignoble for citizens
to submit to government at all?
Intcmationali-ri means no more
a loss of freedom for nations than
courts and law mean a loss of free-
corn for individuals. We may differ
upon immediate problems of policy,
upon the instruments and institu
tions of internationalism, but v.e can
r.ot evade the responsibility which
rests upon the whole world to move
ultimately towards that community
cf nations which alone will bring
real and lasting peace. World-Herald.

IN REALITY SAVING
THE GOLD STANDARD
In any appraisal of the legisla
tion sought by President Roosevelt
in his currency message, there are
numerous important facts to be kept
in mind. One is that confiscation of
the nation's monetary gold for use
as a bullion reserve offers the one
way in which a gold-base currency
can be maintained with any degree
of permanence. Instead of playing
the role of a vrrcker, in which some
critics of his currencf plan describe
him, Mr. Roosevelt is in reality sav
ing a tlightly modified gold standard.
Before the United States went off
gold last spring, it was the only im
portant nation having in its circu
lating medium gold coins and certi
ficates payable 100 per cent in gold.
Similarly, maturing federal bonds
were payable in gold coin on demand,
as were the principal and interest cf
many billions; of dollars of privately
is:ued securities. Whatever may be
said of the feasibility of such a pro-
giam cf domestic gold payments at
the time of its origin, the steady ex
pansion of corporate activities and fi
nanring made it impossible of fulfill
ment in modern practice.
The currency system cf the na
tion was in fact at the mercy of any
gold-hoarding movement or any
large-scale monetary goid raid lor
private or international nrofit. Pres
ident Roosevelt was on firm ground
when he toid congress that the free
circulation of gold was unnecessary
and tended to "a possible weakening
cf national financial structures." and
added that "the practice of transfer
ring gold from one individual to an
other, or from the government to an
individual within a nation, is not
only unnecessary, but is in every way
undesirable."
Controversy may rage over the
merits and demerits of devaluation,
but of the advantages cf transferring
the nation's currency to a gold bul
lion basis there can be no doubt. The
moral right of the government to use
this essential of modern commerce
and finance for the benefit of all its
citizens is clear. If there are legal
objections, the courts can pass on
them. Chicago Daily Nev.c.

THE YARDSTICK WORKS
IN REDUCING RATES
The president's pov.tr yarezselck is
working. Within six months since
its creation, ,ike Ter.i.cr.sc e Valley
Authority ha.i su i-'oi cloven, electric
ity bills in that area by hundreds c
thousands cf dollars.
Written into the cent
.et an
he TVA
nounccd yesterday between
and three commonwealth and south
ern operating companies in the Ten
nessee valley was a provision that the
operating company in Tennessee
should reduce its rates to the same
level to which the Alabama
Georgia companies recently had re
duced theirs.
It was revealed that the Alabama
and Georgia reductions, ordered by
the state utilities commissions, were
due to the TVA. The reductions
amounted to from 15 to 2S per cent of
old rates.
Amusingly, the Tennessee commis
sion, in whose area the latest reduc
tion was negotiated directly with the
TVA, reported to the ttate legisla
ture last year that a 25 per cent cut
would destroy the company's finan
cial stability.
The new TVA contract with the
power companies
is important not:r
only because it lowers rates and as
sures a quick market for Muscle
Shoals electricity, but also becau:e it
shows that the new ps .ver deal dees
not mean ruthless destruction or
present property values.
TVA has the authority to go right
ahead duplicating lines and services;
it has the money, as well. But it
wisely chose to put into action its
now famous power policy, to carry
out the orders of congress to provide
consumers with cheap electricity, and
yet, as Director David E. Lilienthal
said, "avoid the destruction of pru-
dent investment in privately owned'0"
public utilities." New York World
