! Donald and other leaders does not
iHitssarily mean the end of the
Socialist movement in Great Britain,
but it does mean that the effort to
I force social and economic changes
i. sier ti'an they can be paid for has
;iai!'d. The trouble with almost every
I movement tor social reform is that
its jiroponents want to change every
thing instantly.
Gve.'t Britain's new Government is
pledged to balance the budget that
is. to cut clown governmental ex
penses to point where the income
Groan -all forms of taxation will meet
them. That will slow up such re
forms as employment insurance and
the national housing program, but
it will keep England out of bank
ruptcy and help restore world trade,
which in the long run prohably will
be Just as beneficial for the workers.
Ii' takes more than one generation
to change the course of social pro
gress. . -
THRIFT
The president of the largest sav
ingB bank in America is advising his
244.000 depositors to stop hoarding
i'ti 'their nioiifV, to draw it out and
ipehd it for tliincs which they will
need later and which they can buy
i ;! :;per now than at any time since
the war. That is good advice. True
T'irift consists not in hoarding cash
in spending wisely. There never
was. and probably will not again be
ror a hhtg Mrm a better opportuni'y
to buy a home, for example, or the
'p'inment and furnishings of a
home, or any of the other necessary
things which do nt lose their value
vi:h the passage of ti'ne. And every
dollar spent now hastens the day
wher. tlio dollars will again circul
ate freely.
AGE
The average American is older
than he rifted t" be. Twenty years ago
our average national age was about
'.verity-Three : now it is abcut twenty
i .-:i. Not so nia'ny children, grown-
. i x 7.7 1 1 i
fpy living i ','! .
This change Is bound to be re
flected f n every phase of life. We will
tend o take a more reasoned, less
emofjorial view of social, political
and economic matters," for example.
We probably will lose as a nation
sdme of the pioneering, adventurous
spirit of youth. We will grow to
v ilue s i urity more than excitement.
TLt re were boys of twenty-one among
the leaders of our Revolution, the
signers of our Declaration of Inde
pendence, the drafters of our Con
stitution. Today we look on a man
of thirty as rather too young for the
it nous responsibilities of govern
ment. We are in danger of becom
ing stogy and conservative, as a na
iuu. uu'e-s more, young men forgo
their way to the front as political
loaders.

islators believed an acreage reduc
tion law would not be constitutional,
they would adopt the no crop plan,
Texas and Louisiana together pro-
duce approximately 40 per cent of
all American cotton; South Carolina

i.pponent in that State of the no
crop plan, it is reported here.

aroused here by the proposal of (lov.
O. Max Gardner of North Carolina
that another south-wide cotlou (.'.in
ference be held, this time in Mem
phis, Sept. 14 and 1". to discuss
"conservative" measures for combat
ing the depressed matket.
