AN AROUSED PEOPLE THE NATION'S HOPE The national organization to re duce public expenditures came into being in Chicago on Friday. The members have enlisted for the dur ation. They have enthusiasm and a program. They have started what is unquestionably the most hopeful movement for putting an end to the depression to be found today. They say that as long as the gov ernments, federal, state and local, confiscate their growing share of the incomes of the American people year after year no sound basis for recov ery can bo established. They are right. They say that the curse of unemployment must continue until business is again on a profitable bais; and business cannot be profit able as long as the governments con tinue to add to the overhead burden. Again they are right. These conclusions have become in creasingly clear as the depression has p.rown in intensity. The organiz ation did not discover the facts, but it has provided a machine for forcing ihe facts upon the politicians who alone can end the evil. It is idle to pretend that measures of economy will be adopted if the politicians are left to themselves. The politicians have too large an in terest in waste ever to favor econ omy for its own sake. So, too, have the allies of the politicians, the bu reaucrats and pay rollers, hungry as they are for more power, more jebs and better paying jobs. Econ omy, if it is to be achieved, must be imposed by the people on their gov ernments. It can be imposed only by iuch a show of organization and numbers that no elective official will dare defiance. The groat rride which the Amer ican people have taken in their sys tem of government lias led many or them to assume ihat our govern ments can do no wrong. If this d?- pression has taught us anything, it has taught ur, that our governments cm mak? mistakes and that these mistakes, if persisted in, will ruin us til. Majorities in congress and the legislatures arc no more infall iahle than any absolute monarch. The great merit of our system is not its freedom from possible error but the freedom of the people to force changes in government- policy. That freedom, needless to say, im poses a duty upon citizens to play their part. If they sit by with fold ed hands while the lawmakers des tioy the nation with taxation, there is no hope for us. It is precisely at this point that the organization de rives its significance. It offers a ral lying point c round which the con- Ftruct've forces of the nation can gather. If the people wish to save themselves from hunger, cold and civil disorder, they now have been provided with the means to do so. Chicago Tribune. :o: Of course, a great deal of damage was done by congress's delay in bal ancing the budget, but congress sel dom does things hastily. It waited thirty-four years to be sure Richmond Pearson Hobson was deserving of a medal of honor for hi3 feat at San tiago. Halts SMART TURBANS Panamas Dally Knits A DIFFICULT TASK, BUT NOT BCP0SSIBLE The intelligence, ingenuity and initiative for which the American people are distinguished are put to the sunreme test in this economic crisis. We have built up the mos wonderful industrial ana commer cial civilization the world has known Our invention and energy have led the world. Other nations have come to us to learn how to make machinery and how to operate it, how to pro duce with least coast and labor. We hava given the worlef labor saving ds-vices, quantity production through the use of machinery. The communists, with the latest form of co-operative government, without ou machinery and experts would hav been helpless to industrialize thei country. We have instructed them and if they succeed it will be through our leadership and advice. Now the pressing question IS whether we can readjust this sys tern so that it shall work for th welfare o fall. The ideal of the ma chine and the devices to increase pro duction was that these were to be the servants of mankind. They were to serve all, not only in giving in creased comforts and conveniences but by distributing their benefits and profits to cverycr.o able and willing to work with them. We dreamed of the day v.-hen our ingenious inven tior.s and constructive talent would decrease the labor and increase the resources and comforts of all th people. Shall we abandon this ideal and begin all over again with doubtful experiments, or readjust and perfect our svstera so mat we snail realize our dream of general prosperity and contentment? Besides the agitation for political changes inimical to in dividual freedom, there are sugges tions of recurrence to more prim itive ways. We arc told that the thing to do is to disintegrate and go tack to pioneer ways, when every man was hi.? own farmer, weaver and manufacturer. We would abandon our original idea of a co-operative democracv in which men made what vhey could make best and for leas cost, and exchanged it for the prod ucts of others whe did the same thing. We are past the pioneering age We have vast resources to be de veloped on new lines.' Practically al of them have been explored and on?ned ui to a Jarce extent. We cannot grow aa we have grown, but we can still grow and prosper, and our problem now is not to open our resources for development for the service of greed and personal ambi tion, but to conserve and utilize them for the benefit of all. Despite its abuses and evils, our system hes accomplished more for the happiness and prosperity of the people than any that has ever been tried. Its abuses and evils have been exposed by excesses and consequent disasters. It can be saved. By the elimination of abuses and evils, we can retain all the advantages we have gained by a century of extraordinary advancement. The work of readjust mcnt is beginning. Congress is com mencing work on reforms in the eco nomic system which will check spec ulation and adjust credits to needs, but there is much to do. We ought not to destroy individ ual freedom, but put limitations on it which will prevent detrimental excesses; utilize it out not atmse it; bridle greed, and adjust it to serve the general welfare instead of indi vidual ambition. It is a difficult task, but not impossible. We believe American ability and energy, which have been demonstrated so thorough ly, are equal to it. We must think in terms of construction, not de struction. It is futile to look to the state to do everything for us. It would be rash and foolish to resort' to destructiveness, tyranny or regimentation. We can do what we should do as a democracy, with the co-operation of the government. We can make the machine a blessing in stead of a curse. Forward, not back ward. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: Journal Want-ACs cost only a few cents and get real results!
