Arthur Brisbane when much old
er than Assistant Secretary Tug-
well’'s intelligent young daughter,
Marcia, aged twelve, who, in part-
nership with her friends, Mary
Frances Cottrell and Joyce Hel-
mick, organized “a laundry for
washing dogs.” They advertised:
“Small dogs, 30 cents; middle-sized
dogs, 35 cents; groomed and
washed. Dogs not good-natured
must be sent with muzzles, and we
cannot wash large dogs.”
Too bad that parental severity
broke up the dog laundry. It had
announced working hours ‘“10 a. m.
to 5 p. m. on Saturdays,” the stu-
dious little girls’ only holiday, “all
hours after school on other week-
days.”
What a good example for govern-
ment enterprises: the little girls
really meant to work to ‘groom
and wash” the dogs, not merely
stand around and collect the 30
cents.
Plucky little Holland and her
wise queen seem to have decided
that the 1914 ‘“‘war to end all wars”
did not finish its job. Holland went
through the big war safely, selling
butter, cheese, eggs, not disturbed,
not making any bad $10,000,000,000
loans.
Now Holland is buying 13 heavy
bombing planes in Baltimore,
spending $1,500,000 for the 13, and
spending many other millions for
other killing machinery.
That means work and wages in
Baltimore; it may mean poison gas
and death for some of Holland's
neighbors.
Foreign countries read every-
thing said about them in America:
not that foreign countries care
what Americans think, or attach
importance to American opinion,
as such; but America has money,
raw products, and governments
that are sometimes whimsical,
changeable and boyish.
Europe, Asia and Africa watch
with equal interest statements of
Americans that count ahd more
numerous Americans that float
like feathers in the air.
One simple - minded Russian
pointed with pride to the statement
of a clergyman in our Union The-
ological seminary.
That gentleman, Rev. Charles C.
Webber, has a plan for a better
government, not based on the text
about rendering unto Caessr that
which is Caesar's. The big idea is
to take away what is Caesar's.
Eight hundred young
were told by Reverend Webber:
“God, who is not content with
things as they are, is a revolution
ary Being, constantly seeking to
make all things new.”
Rev. Webber, “recognizing this,”
about God being a revolutionist,
ished. Rev. Webber wants a

omy in the United States. Under
the Charles C. Webber plan, peo-
ple would own

France calls Paris the “aerial port

the still prouder title “Chief Air

claimed by Miami, Los Angeles,
San Diego, Chicago, Clevelan., and
with a great deal of reason by San
Francisco and Oakland, thanks to
the magnificent bay, and to the fact
that the greatest air line,
from a to Asia, starts from
that neighborhood.

Colonel Knox stepped forward to
deliver his speech of acceptance
he was greeted by a roar of ap-
plause that continued for many
minutes. His fellow citizens were
glad to express their gratification
for the honor done him, and the
thousands from outside Chicago
were no less warm in their appre-
ciation of the candidate. In the
streets surrounding the stadium

Knox devoted much of his address
in the history of the nation but ig-
nored its responsibility,
its job and defaulted in
gations.
“From the day that it took of-
fice,” he declared,
on a series of hysterical
ments on the economic life of a
burdened people. At a time when
universal co-operation was a neces-
sity it initiated a campaign of
abuse and vilification of business
men. At a time when the credit of
the country should have been
strengthened it inaugurated a poli-
cy of credit adulteration and cur-
rency experiment that demoralized
foreign trade and frightened do-
mestic finance. It set up a system
of regimentation of industry that
reduced production and prevented
re-employment. By coercion of cone
form measures so recklessly drawn
that they hamstrung the revival of
enterprise and paralyzed the re-
newal of investment. It installed
a regimentation of agriculture that
destroyed food and reduced foreign
markets and increased the cost of
of relief.
“At a time when private industry
was struggling desperately for a
new start it set up governmental
enterprise to compete with private
business. At a time when the bur-
den of taxation was already hard
to bear it embarked on a policy of
squandering public funds and in-
creasing the weight of taxes. At a
time when united effort and mutual
good-will would have completed
recovery it promoted sectional hat-
red and class strife. At a time
when returning business confidence
was ending depression it began a
campaign to terrorize business and
subjugate the banks. At a time
when confidence in the character of
government was vital it estab
lished a spoils system. At a time
when the economic system was
worn and emaciated it performed
major surgical operations upon the
industrial body to see what was
inside. It adopted an economic
philosophy of scarcity and forced it
upon a hungry and distressed peo-
ple. . . .
“No one can define the New Deal
or even describe it. But we know
what it means. It means federal
control over local business, over
local bank credit, over local wages,
over local conditions of work. It
leads to federal regimentation of
the labor, the business, and the
home of every American citizen,
It leads to price-fixing and produc-
tion control by federal authority. It
leads inevitably to the extinction

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT ended
his 437 mile cruise when his
yacht docked at Campobello island,
New Brunswick, where he has a
summer home. He shaved off the
sidewhiskers he had grown to sur-
prise his wife and mother and went
ashore for a picnic and a reception
with members of his family and
friends in the summer colony of
the island. Canadian Royal Mount-
ed police joined with the American
secret service men in guarding the
distinguished visitor.
Mr. Roosevelt remained at
Campobello only two days and thea
took a special train to Quebec,
where he visited with Lord Tweeds-
muir, governor general of Canada.

IR HENRY WELLCOME, who
was born in a log cabin in Wis-

came one of England's greatest
scientists and explorers, died in
London following an operation. His
scientific achievements ranged
from the establishment of physio
logical laboratories to pioneering in
the field of archaeological survey
through the use of airplanes. He
won the Royal Humane society life
saving medal in 1885 and as late
as 1927 founded the Lady Stanley

JRE than 100,000 persons stood
i in silence at Vimy, France,
as King Edward VIII of England
unveiled the magnificent memorial
built by France to
commemorate the
heroic capture of
Vimy Ridge by the
Canadian forces in
April, 1917. After
greeting President
Lebrun of France
in French, the king
said:
“We raise this

dian warriors. It is
King Edward inspired expres-
sion in stone chiseled by a skillful
Canadian hand of Canada’s salute
to her fallen sons. It marks the
scene of feats of arms which his-
tory will long remember and Can-
ada can never forget. And the
ground it covers is the gift of
France to Canada.”
The dedication culminated ten
years of labor and an expenditure
of about $1,000,000 on erection of
the memorial. The work was com-
pleted after earlier delays in con-
struction because of difficulties in
finding the 7,000 to 8,000 tons of
special stone required.
