The Canners' League of Califor

destroy 144,000 tons of peachci, to
stabilize the situation. The It ague
apparently doesn't realize that it is
going only half way in its s'.abil
izing. It forgets what destroyng
14 4,000 tons of fresh peaches will
do to the labor situation in its own
industry. If it really wishes to sta
bilize things, it will can the peaches
first and then destroy them.
:o:
The columnist on the Spokane
Spokesman-Review has a letter from
the office of Mr. Will Hays, czar of
the movies, that there'll be no more
gang movies. All through with gang
pictures. The object of the gang
movie, we believe, originally was to
expose the workings of gangs and
gangsters and thus work their ruin.
This has been done. Certainly noth
ing has been left unexposed, on the
films. So we've probably seen the last
of gangdom in this country.
PRETENDING
With steel's dividend cut to the
unexpectedly low mark of $4, from
$7, and with a cut in salaries recom
mended, the country must feel that
a new tightening of the belt is de
manded. Does that mean a general wage
reduction? This is the question be
fore the house.
Steel's annual report brings it up
from the economic side. The diver
sity of view between President Hoo
ver and Secretary Lamont brings i
up politically.
Secretary Lamont, politics or no
politics, blurted out the truth whe
he said that some industries were
now "faced with the prospect
'.losing down altogether and Ihus
creating more unemployment or, al
ternatively, seeking temporary wage
reductions." Moie truth was blurt
ed out by Mr. FarrelT of the Stee
corporation itself when he told the
Steel institute that wage reductions
by one device or another, actually
were in wide effect.
We all know this. Yet we pre
tend it is not so. We all know that
wages will have to come down. Ye
we pretend that they won't.
How can everything else be de
Rated without deflating labor, too
How can business go down, how can
receipts go down, how can profits
disappear without having wages go
down?
It is all very well to talk of th
new American doctrine that high
wages make high purchasing pow
er," but so also do high dividend
make high purchasing power. We
would like to have high dividends
but we can't.
We simply can't lift ourselves up
by our bootstraps.
Everybody knows this, but, in pub
lie, everybody turns his eyes dis
cretely aside when the painful sub
ject is mentioned. We have on this
subject one of our great politica
hypocrises.
This is perfectly understood in po
litical circles. Therefore is it that
the president follows Secretary La-
mont's "indiscretion" with this tech
nicality accurate and apparently in
dignantly honest statement:
"No member of the administra
tion has expressed the view or holds
the view that the policy of the ad
ministration in advocating mainten
ance of wages should be changed. It
has been changed."
Mr. Hoover is thus once more on
ecord against wage cuts. We con
sider it, on the whole, a good thing
that he is.
In the first place, presidential op
position to reductions has made the
process a slow one, as it should be.
Heaven knows what a quick, univer
sal slash in wages would have done
to discontent last winter. And
lound liberalism knows that it takes
o long to work wages up that the
cuts should be made only with the
greatest reserve and under the most
extreme compulsion.
Secondly, the "hypocrisy" itself is
probably an excellent thing. We like
to pretend there is national prohibi
tion and then drink all we please
We like to boast of the enfranchise
ment amendments for the Negroes
and then let the south make the vote
purely a white man's privilege. In
the same way we like to pretend that
while we are cutting wages we really
are not doing so. And somehow this
process, like the administration's op
position, acts like a brake upon the
scaling downward. New York Eve

WHEN TO WASH DISHES
Married men who must do "kitch
on police" duty about this time of
the year when friend wife "goes to
the country" will give three rousing
cheers for the pronouncement put
forth by University of Chicago ex
perts that kitchen economy and effi
iency preclude washing dishes after
every meal. Wash them once a day.
or even once a week, and save time
and strength, is their dictum based
on scientific research right on the
linoleum.
When the prevailing custom of
the dish-washing for every meal is
followed, the average expenditure of
time and effort is 38 minutes and
1,958 motions a day. The average
vhen they are washed once a day
is 22 minutes and several hundred
fewer motions.
These scientific findings are pro
found in scope and are Just in time
to settle a long standing domestic de
bate on the question, "Resolved, that
it is more blessed to wash the dishes
on the day the good wife is expect
ed to return from her vacation," in
which the male side of the house has
always taken the positive and the
good wife the negative side.
Higher education has redeemed It
self in the eyes of masculinity.

LINGUISTIC MAP FOR TRAVELERS
Surprisingly varied uses may be
found for the linguistic atlas of the
United Slates, work on which will
he started in New England this
month. The American Council or
' earned Societies, which is support
ing this project intends to compile
a comprehensive reference for ling
uists, historians and other scholars.
liut perhaps the atlas will prove
beneficial to the public in a more
utilitarian way. For example, what
an excellent guidebook it should be
for the cross-country traveler!
Motoring from "way down East
to "way out West," the tourist could
follow both road and language maps
so as to traverse not the smoothest
highways but the most, interesting
d'alects. But drivers and directors of
conducted tours might make their
trips more attractive by studying the
characteristics of speech in each sec
tion. Then besides pointing out not-
ublo scenes, they would comment.
"We are now crossing the boundary
between the Lands of You and You
A1F: or, "Notice the Missouri dia
lect at the next stop for lunch; if
one says Missoury,' hissing the s s,
he is of Yankee origin; if he calls it
'Missourah,' probably his ancestors
came here from Virginia or Ken
tucky."
It would be enlightening to discov
er the boundaries between soft, hard
and trilled r's and between piazza,
veranda, porch, gallery and stoop.
Mere help with geographical
names would Justify the tourist's pur
chase of -an atlas, unless he already
knew whether the natives say
"Loo'is-vil" or "Loo'i-vil," "Illinoi' "
or "1111 now , "l'o-wa ' or "ro-way,
"Wi'o-ming or "Wi-o'ming," and
Los An-jel-es" or "Los Ang-el-es."
Each section naturally prefers its
own dialect and characteristic pro
nunciations. The Learned Societies'
appreciation of these differences.
therefore, is gratifying. Dr. Hani
Kurath of Ohio State University, who
will assist in the survey, recently
hiid: "One of the results we hope
to achieve is a more charitable point
of view toward local dialects. We
Khali be able to show, for example,
that a million persons in a given lo
cality are in the habit of pronounc
ing a certain word in a particular
way. The conclusion ... is that, for
the given locality, that pronunciation
i- correct."
Far more than providing a mere
guide to pronunciation, this atlas
should reveal how the settlers from
many countries such as tin- Dutch
in Uew York and Pennsylvania,
French in Louisiana. Spanish in the
Southwest, German and Scandinavian
In the middle West have affected
the dialects of their communities.
And if one does not use the lin
guistic atlas in travel, possibly he
can apply it to radio announcers and
other speakers.

WHOSE IDEA?
An effort to determine just whose
brain really conceived the idea of
'.he debt moratorium is to be found
on all sides. One constantly bears
suggestions or statements that it was
the idea of this prominent man or
that one, all of which is intensely
interesting. For it shows that the
general impression is that Herbert
Hoover did not think of it alone;
that he did not conceive the idea and
had to be persuaded to carry it
through. It Is undoubtedly the gen
eral impression, resulting from the
years he has been in the White House
that the President is incapable of
leadership. Even Frederick William
Wile, always inclined to be kind to
Mr. Hoover, says along these lines:
"With the debt holiday about to be
come an established fact, no question
is asked so eagerly as the one that
.eek to determine just whose brain
wave It really was. . . . The woods
are full of guesses as to where the
lurels should be bestowed."
Only Senator Watson at the date
of writing has suggested that it was
Mr. Hoover's idea and his alone
he same Republican leader who told
us a year ago that the Hoover
Grundy tariff act would remove the
depression.
