BLUE EAGLE PUTTING
MEN BACK TO WORK
Monthly business reports are prom
ising. The blue eagle is putting men
back to work. Pay rolls are increas
ing. Merchants are moving goods.
The farmer is beginning to rise. Busi
ness activity, which leveled off dur
ing the last month in the normally
slow seasonal period, is increasing
again.
But we are not out of the hoie
yet not by a long way. There are
still an estimated 11 million men
out of work. Increased cost of liv
ing last month offset higher factory
wages.
Here are some of the figures:
Employment An increase of 10.2
per cent in July over June in manu
facturing plants, and 19 per cent in
July over February, according to the
national industrial conference board
survey. American .federation or j-a-hnr
fleurea show 23.7 Der cent Of
trade union membership unemployed
in August, compared with 24.1 per
cent in July and 26.6 per cent in
March, upon which it is estimated
that 2,033,000 men and women nave
gone back to work since March.
Purchasing Power Although pur
chasing power of average weekly fac
tory earnings was 13.9 per cent high
er in July than eDruary. tne con
ference board finds that the July gain
of 3.6 per cent in earning was off
set by the 3.3 per cent rise in cost
of living. A similar A. F. of L. re
port, based chiefly on government
statistics, uses 1929 as 100 which
dropped as low "as 40.2 in March, had
risen to 46.7 in July, increasing na
tional purchasing power 6S0 million
dollars. Standard Statistics estimates
that farm purchasing power for 1933f
including government subsidies, will
be about two billion, dollars greater
than last year. - ,
Another hopeful sign is the Unit
ed States bureau of labor statistics
report that the retail prices of food,
which jumped 8 per cent from June
15 to July 15, slowed down in August
to an increase less than 2 per cent.
Wholesale prices for all commodities,
using 192G as 100, were only 69.6
69.2 per cent five weeks earlier.
Only as mass buying power out-

distances price rises can we climb out

THE NEW DEMOCRACY
Franklin D. Roosevelt, applauding
the achievements of NIRA in his
home county on Saturday, stated the
spirit of the new democracy in simple
terms seldom used in dissertations on
government. Speaking to hi3 neigh
bors he said: ". . . we have been
extending to our national life the
old principle of the local community.
the principle that no man, woman
or child has the right to do things
that hurt their neighbors."
He traced the growth of this prin
ciple from the first fencing in of cat
tie to his own administration's de
claration that governmental steps to
raise wages, reduce working hours
and control farm crops Is no infringe
ment upon the guarantee of personal
liberty.
"We are engaged today," he said,
"in reviewing all kinds of human
relationships . . . We are saying, 'Is
this practice, is this custom, some
thing which is being done at the ex
itMisii vi me many? Ana tne many
are the neighbors. In a national
sense ' the many, the neighbors, are
the people of the United States as a
whole."

tot-ppasTTA "FARMERS
WORK WITH WALLACE
If reports which come from Chey
enne county are correct, Nebraska
wheat farmers are giving whole
hearted support to the department
of agriculture's plan for a reduction
in acreage. It is said that 1,500
farmers in Cheyenne county already
have signed the agreement to cut
their fields 15 per cent, and requests
have come in for an additional five
hundred blanks.
Cheyenne, Deuel and Kimball
counties represent Nebraska's new
est wheat empire. Most of the acre
age devoted to that cereal at the
present time was brought into culti
vation during or following the world
war. The section lends itself readily
to wheat farming on a large scale,
with abundant relatively cheap land,
and the ideal conditions for tractor
operators. In the last five years,
Cheyenne county was the banner
wheat producing community in the
state.
Actually, Nebraska has taken more
kindly to the program of reduced
acreage than most states where wheat
is one of the main crops. Under the
appeal of the Hoover farm board and
its leader, Alexander Legge, Ne
hr.vn wna Hia onlv state in the
union to show a reduction in wheat
acreage. It amounted to 12 per cent.
South of the border, Kansas farmers
enlarged their planting by about the
same figure.
Nebraska is more fortunate than
its neighboring states. Here the
agricultural program lends itself to
diversification much more readiiy
than it does in Kansas, particularly
in the western half of the state. The
campaign to reduce acreage is now
at its height. Throughout the winter
wheat belt the results can be stated
definitely by the middle of October.
If the campaign proves the success
indicated by preliminary figures, the
fact is bound to make its influence
felt in grain prices before tho close
of this year. We have no large sur
pluses to carry over. If planting can
be held to the limit deemed safe for
national security, it is reasonable to
anticipate prices will advance. Lin

THE MOWRER BLUNDER .
Announcement in a Berlin dispatch
that Edgar Ansel Mowrer, able. Am
erican correspondent for many years
in Europe, was advised by govern
ment,, authorities . toP cut., .Uis . plans
short and leave Germany immediate
ly for his own protection is amazing
news. It was explained that the rea
son for haste lay in the confession
of those authorities that they could
not be responsible for his protection.
Mr. Mowrer, in a letter left behind
him for press correspondents prior to
his sailing, said, "It is a singular
event in diplomatic history for regu
larly constituted authorities of a
country to have to admit that they
are unable to grant protection to
foreign journalists."
This is news of a character which
will with difficulty be countered by
any sort of government explaining or
propaganda. Mr. Mowrer has never
had the reputation of a sensational
character as a newspaper man. He
has been regarded as one of the best
informed and most thoughtful of Am
erican correspondents in Europe.
Therefore his comment is effective
when he says, "The German govern
ment was at any time able to oust
me as an undesirable foreigner. It
did not care to do this ... it want
ed to bring about the departure of
those correspondents whose knowl
edge of the situation in Germany was
great enough to make them imper
vious to propaganda.
Unless we mistake the importance
of the event, we believe that this ex
pose of Hitler methods i3 one of the
biggest fiascos in judgment by the
present regime. It will ract the world
over against a crude dictatorship. It
will be echoed east and west as an
illustration of government vulnerable
and uncertain of its own power. It
may even react in Germany itself
where thousands will finally receive
the information of censorship gone
mad and exposed to the world, with
heads bowed in shame. It may be one
of the historical episodes which fore
cast the downfall of the brown shirt
government. It i3 not only "bad pub
licity for the country, but it must
add to the growing lack of confi
dence among tho nationn in the effi
cacy and security of government un

Reports that the three youngsters

LET LEISURE LEAD
TO LEISURELY LIFE
With the NRA rapidly increasing
the leisure time available to work
ers throughout the country, atten
tion is being directed to what is term
ed a new problem. What are these
workers going to do with their free
tice? Mr. Whalen, as city chairman
of the president's emergency re-employment
campaign, has appointed a
distinguished committee to study and
report upon the question.
With the motives behind the ap
pointment of such a committee we
are in thorough sympathy. Unfor
tunately, Americans do not know very
well how to utilize their leisure time.
They have had so -little of it that
any sudden increase in the daily
hours free of work will find them
unprepared to make the most of such
an unexpected gift. But we shall be
approaching the problem if prob
lem it must be called in the wrong
way if what we now undertake is a
condescending campaign to persuade,
cajole or compel the nation's work
ers to use their leisure for self-improvement.
Let us do what we can to make
more rreeiy available man is now
the case every opportunity for self
education and cultural development,
as well as for healthful recreation.
but at the same time let us bear in
mind that the very essence of leisure
is freedom. Here is a great opportun
ity to slow down the tempo of Am-
eircan lire. To endeavor to nil up
our free hours with a set of new ac
tivities, however beneficial they may
be in theory, would be to nullify in
great measure tne boon wnicn in
creased leisure should bring to the
country as a whole.
We do not believe that Mr. Whal
en's committee has any idea of solv
ing the problem of leisure by at
temping to destroy leisure, but we
are not entirely happy over the in
clusion among its member of Mr
John W. David. "I have always be
lieved, and still do, that no man
should work less than eight hours,"
he recently said to reporters upon re
turning from Europe. "Dhat are we
going to do with r.ll those extra
hours? Honestly, how many men do
vou know who will use them for self
improvement, for reading a worth
while book or studying something
they need?" .
That is exactly the spirit which
we hope will not animate Mr. Whal-
en's committee -or any other similari
committees which may be formed in
other parts of, the country. Even
though these extra- hours are not
used for reading or studying, even
though they are idled and
loafed!
away, we would welcome them as
pointing the way to a more leisurely
life for the country as a whole. That,
we believe, ould be a gain for Amer
ican civilization and in time make
possible that Cultural development

gram of reform or uplift.- New York

:o:
STRONG DESIRE FOR
SELF-IMPROVEMENT
When John W. Davis returned
from Europe the other day he was
asked what ho thought of his 40
hour week. "I have always believed,
and still do, that no man should work
less than eight hours," he is reported
to have said to' the ship news cour
iers. "What are we going to do with
all these extra hours? Honestly, how
many men do you know who will use
them for self-improvement, for read
ing a worth-while book or studying
something they need?"
Nevertheless, there must be plenty
who employ their leisure for self
Improvement. Even during the de
pression they have flocked to school
in considerable numbers to equip
themselves for advancement. In
prosperous times the desire for self
improvement is one of the most as-i
tonishing revelations of human char
acter. The night schools and trade
schools are crowded. Humble though
they may be inequality, the culture
dispcnsaiies are normally grinding
at top speed. If 'the outline histories
and the sets of cjassics and the study
of classes and the books on manners
tiipv indicate a
strong impulse for self-improvement
among people whose experience has
been limited.
However, men are under no bond
to make this use of their leisure.
It is part of their right to their own
souls. They can put it out to com
pound Interest or waste it, accord
ing to their personal inclination. To
many people work is mainly a means
of keeping body and soul together.
Whpn men r nnt working. It IS
their inalienable right to loaf if they
want to. Is it only a poet who can
perceive the connection between loaf
ing and inviting the soul? Sometimes
work may be as mischievous as
idling. New York Times.

FARM INCOME TREND
HAS TURNED UPWARD
: Standard Statistics company, which
views figures dispassionately, esti
mates this year's farm income will be
between $7,250,000,000 and $7,500,-
000,000. This represents a gain of
; about 40 per cent over last year when
farm income was placed at $5,240,
000,000.
But farm income in 1929 was near
ly 12 billion dollais and in 1919,
when a large part cf the American
farm debt was contracted, it soared
to around 19 billion dollars. Farm
ers still are trying to pay debts out
of incomes that represent little more
than a third of the income they had
when they contracted them.
The average per acre farm debt
in Iowa still is around 1 and in
many cases higher, whereas, on the
basis of earnings tho land will not

farm prices must go higher or the
debt level must come down.
Thtse figures apply to agriculture
as a whole. They take no account of
the thousands of farmers who have
produced virtually nothing this year,
due to drouth, grasshoppers and ad
versity in other forms. These people
will do well to subsist this winter,
much less nay debts. As a matter of
fact, many of them must have gov-
eminent aid to keep soul and body
