MOODY THE COST OF PERFECTION— We are taught that experience is the best teacher. All that we have learned was gained by ex perience and sacrifice. Disaster often has a share of learning. In our city a sign with a “red cross” marks the spot where someone has been killed by an automobile. This is a warning to others as they walk or drive by this spot. Recently, there were two naval disasters which took about 120 lives. Submarines have not reached perfection and each of these ill-fated sh;ps were making initial trips. Whatever may hive gone wrong, .ns/ be disovoed and corrected in the construction of the next submarine. The Coast Soft Ball team is here from Calif. They are making Omaha their headquarters while playing in this section. Whenever we find imperfection that causes inconvenience or dis aster, we immediately try to find the cause and improve them. Learning by “trial and error” is very expensive but is also a fund amental principle. Perfection may cost death in different ways, sometimes social industrial phys ical or spiritual. ———0O0-• ECONOMIC HI-LIGHTS Happenings that Affect the Din ner Pails Dividend Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual. Nat ional and International Problems Inseparable from Local Welfare. The President address to the Retailers’ Federation was amiable and non aggressive in tone. But, according to tbe Washington ob servers, it was far from being non-aggressive in intent. It derf initely committed the Administra tion to a continuance of the spend ing policy—and, in the words of the Washington team of Alsop and Kintner, it “read out of the Dem ocratic party all those who do not stand with him on that issue.” Ac everyone who reads the news papers knows, a quiet but extreme h i i ortant “war' has been go ing on within the 'V ni*e House Circle. On the one sid> have been those who favor o reduction in spending, and a revision of our tax laws in the l'ght of bus:ness requests. Leaders of this group have been Secretary of the Treas ury Morgenthau, Assistant Secre tary Hanes, and RFC Chairman Jones. Pitted against these men have been those Administration aides who are usually considered of left wing persuas’on. Best known are Cohen and Corcoran. Neither of this team occupy Federal jolbs of any great importance—but they have long wielded a tremendous influence in the White House. They have a sizable group of fol lowers, scattered among all the departments of the Government, especially those which were l.roaght into being by this Admin istration. The internal struggles lasted sometme. “Now,” to quote Alsop and Kintner once more, "the struggles in the palace seem to| be at an end. The spenders are triumphant.” As reported by sev- , eral trustworthy Capitol news men, the advocates of a slow up in spending were hardly consulted during the preparition of the Pres'dent’s speech to the retailers, i Tho significance of all this is apparent—and it affects not only the affairs of today, but the af fairs of tomorrow. It appears that I Mr. Roosevelt in seeking the elu sive key to recovery, ha« definitely decided that continued govern ment spending on a big, and per haps even increasing scale is ne cessary—that spending must be accepted as a more or less “nor mal’ function of the government, as well as an “emergency” fun ction. And, in all probability, it means that the political battle of 1940 will have spending as its central domestic issue—an issue overshadowing all others, save, perhaps, that of war. The Republicans, of course are committed to a certain amount of economy, and they will naturally use the issue to the full in seeking to unseat the Administration. And the Democrats are far from being unanimously committed to spend ing, in spite of the President’s ap parent decision. The conservative wing of Southern Democrats is strong for retrenchment, and it ha8 enlisted powerful supporters from the mid-western wing. And opposition to the White House in Congress is obviously increasing. What this adds up to is that Mr. Roosevelt is putting himself in a position where he can lead a new party) though it might keep the Democrat party name) whose principal appeal would be to the spenders and experimenters. Whether he wants or intends to do th's is of course another question, and one which cannot yet be an swered. Some think he is really pre paring to read the dissenters in Democratic ranks out of the party. This, too, cannot yet be said to be a known fact, and also it is certain he would run into many problems in trying to do it. At any rate, the political lines that will devide the opponents next year become clearer and better de fined. Clearer, too, becomes the fac that the next Democratic conven tion is likely to be the scene of a first rate fight between the New Deal and the anti-New Deal Demo crats. It’s going to be an eventful year. Those economists who are won dering just how much longer the world can go on building up its armaments without entering bank ruptcy are getting more and more food for sober thought and argu ment. We are the richest country in the world, and our $1,126,000,000 na tional defense bill for the next fis cal year is the largest in our peace time history. Yet, this is hardly a drop in the bucket compared to what Europe and Asia are spend ing. Great Britain’s budget is close to $3,000,000,000. Japan’s is over $1,500,000,000. France’g is about the same as ours, Italy’s is $611, 000,000 and will probaly be increas ed. Germany doesn’t publish figures of this nature, but her arms ex pense is huge. Lastly—hold your breath here— the U. S. S. R. has announced a defense budget running to the al most urabelievebale sum of $7,00, 000,000. That is creating plenty of headaches among Russia’s poten tial enemies. And it comes as en couraging news to the European democracies, which hope to enlist “the bear that walks like a man” as an ally. These figures show why the stan dard of living abroad is steadily dropping. In Germany it is said, one fourth of the entire national in come goes for arms and public works, neither of which is edible. -ooO— PROBLEMS OF LOW WAGES AND TENANT FARMING ARE NAAGP CONFERENCE TOPICS -.
