I It On Thursday E. H. Gary, head of the biggest industrial organiza tion in the world, and John D. Rockefeller, representing what is probably still the biggest fortune in the world, and incidentally one of the most useful, will have break fast with President Coolidge at. the 'White House. They will discuss law enforcement, and the findings of a citizens’ committee of one thousand. Those three men will make an interesting breakfast combination. Gary became head -of the great steel concern when he was past 50; Rockefeller, jr., born to own and manage the world's greatest for tune, is removed by only one gen eration from a litle farm in the hills along the Hudson, and Calvin Coolidge in one generation is pro moted from a farm in Vermont to the VVhite House. Apparently “careers” are still open to talent, as Napoleon put it, here in America. The president will entertain in Gary and Rockefeller two men that might do more than any other's to solve the crime problem. You can diminish crime in two ^ ways, first by making it costly and painful to the criminal with severe, prompt and inevitable punishment. Second, since crime is always unprofitable, it can be reduced by increasing facilities in obtaining employment. The law should be able to say to every man: “If you need food, and your wife and children need food, I will show' you where you ran work any day in the year and earn enough to feed yourself and your f- ivily. “I;’ you prefer crime to work I shall show you another place, where you will work inside prison walls and earn nothing for yourself. I shall use your earnings in that other place to see that your wife and family don’t starve.” Rockefeller and Gary might offer interesting suggestions for legisla tion that would supply constant employment. This country is big enough and needs enough work to keep everybody busy. In England they pay a hard cash allowance to idle men and they have done it since the war, in the British unemployment allowance, thus avoiding the crime waves we have here. To put men to work is better than to make beggars of them. Changes come rapidly. In 1875, when Pope Leo opened the holy door in Rome, he sent gold medals in honor of the event to the Aus trlan emperor, Francis Joseph, then ruling part of Poland. Now Pope Pius, 50 years later, again opens the holy door, and sends one gold medal to President Wocjechowski, president of the re public of Poland, and one to his wife, Madame Wocjechowski. Little could the old emperor have imagined what was to happen be fore the holy door should next be opened. Kings and emperors come and go, rise and fall, the popes go on. One reason is found in the fact that 'ordinals select for pope the ablest man among them, whereas emperors and kings are selected by the accident of birth. One of 10,000 rumors says the Russian government will stir up revolution in Cairo and attempt, via Egypt, to “set India in flames.” This won’t worry the British lion. He knows water drinking, vegetable eating Asiatics do not take fire so easily. And when they do, they usually attack and burn some neighboring religions that don’t please them. To realize how closely the Asi atics, including inhabitants of India, are to old-fashioned religious no tions, remember that as recently as 1861, when Lincoln was prepar ing for his great task, an Indian rajah, to bring good fortune upon himself and his reign, offered at Jaipur a living sacrifice of a young girl. it takes more than one century to change from that type to the Lincoln type understanding free dom. P. S. To iuve any Swami or other the trouble of writing for further information those inter ested are referred to Wester marek's hig hook on the "origin of moral ideas." The Jaipur incident will he found somewhere near page 500. This is written on the train, the book is not at hand. The test of Mussolini’s strength comes now, and he handles Italy 3 problems and his own, without hesi tation or weakness. He doesn't intend to he any Kicnzi, glorying for awhile in his own greatness, in toxicated with his own importance, and finally stabbed in the stomach by a patriotic butcher. Florence and other rebellious towns in Italy will learn that times have changed since Savonarola. Flying machines will visit rebellious cities, and talk for Mussolini from the air. Itailroada carry fascist! police to any part of Italy in u lew hours. And Mussolini, trained for years uj follower and leader in the hard school of Italian socialism, knows what to do, now that he has changed from a rebel against gov ernment and finds himself the head of government. Napoleon, as a young lieutenant, coldly looking on during the French revolution as they beheaded king W and his nobles, knew that a few cannon located, and used, in the right place* would have stopped the trouble. Mussolini will use the cannon, also Improved air and other methods if he has to. The interesting thing Is that, he fa now fighting tha very socialists with whom he once worked • (Csp/rlshU 1MI.)
