BRUCE CATTON’S COMMENT
The problem that gets the most attention these
days is the problem of adjusting our economic re
lationships with one another so that all of us who
really want to can get and keep a remunerative
job.
Behind it, temporarily forgotten. is another prob-
Jem which is perhaps even more acute in its de
mand for solution. It was touched on the other
day by Charles H. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., in an
interview at Memphis, Tenn,
“Life today, said Dr. Mayo, “is too tense. The
mind gives out years before the body. We find old
people all around us who have been dead for years
and don’'t know it. They don’t think any more—
their minds have died, although their bodies live
on.”
. Then she famous physician explained in detail
just what he meant.
“Think what has happened to us in 35 years,”
he said. “Our life, once largely agrarian, was paced
to the horse. A man could keep up his business in
longhand.
“Now it has speeded up. Tractors and typewrit
ers—a man had to have a typewriter, then a lot of
sceretaries. And what happened? In 36 years the
percentage of insanity doubled. Men outlived their
minds.
“Perhaps man is slowly adjusting himself to this
age. this speed. But it is a slow process. The ten
sion has become almost too great.”
Dr. Mayo is not the first medical man to issue
this' warning. But our usual custom is to stay
about a generation behind our medical advisors in
matters of this kind, and the Kkillng pace of modern
life has not yet really begun to worry us. We have
wandered innocently into the midst of a lot of
whirring flywheels, high-speed gadgets and rapidly
moving assembly lines, and it has hardly occurred
to us that all of this is s little more than we can
stand.
It is not only in the economic field that we have
progressed too fast‘for our own good. The machine
age has compelled us to live our lives under condi
tions unlike those faced by any other men in his
tory. Hand in hand, with our efforts to adjust
things so that over-production and unefnploym@nt
may be abolished there must be a sincere attempt to
slow down the tempo of the individual life.
As things are now we use ourselves up at a
pitiless rate; as Dr. Mayo says, we die long before
we realize it.
Sometimes in the not-distant future the American
people are going to have to make up their minds
just how far they care to go in helping to maintain
the peace of Kurope.
That peace is a very unstable thing., It has’ béen
ever since the war. It was unstable for decades
before the war. There is nothing in sight right
now to indicate right now that it is going to be
any more stable in the immediate future. s
This is because there has not, for many decades,
been a situation in Europe which was not deeply
displeasing to certain important minorities. Before
1914, France wanted to regain her lost provinces,
Polish patriots dreamed of independence, restless
groups in the Hapsburg empire schemed for sepa
ration: since the war the central powers, particu
larly Germany, have felt the Versailles treaty as
an irksome restriction which must some day be
ended.
Hence every nation must be prepared, ultimately,
to appeal to force. As a result, disarmament schemes
usually come to grief. Those nations interested in
maintaining existing frontiers and treaties will not
give up their military predominance unless they are
assured that such countries as England and Ameri
ca will join them in preventing the discontented mi
norities from kicking over the traces.
All of which leads up to the question. How far
are we prepared to go in underwriting the status
quo overseas?
If we continue to stand aloof the disarmament
program must collapse. A new war will become
more than likely, and we have no assurance what
ever that we shall be any more able to keep out
of it than we were able to keep out of the last one.
On the other hand, if we line up firmly for ex
isting treaties we commit ourselves deeply in quar
rels that are not of our making and we lend our
support to a situation which many of us feel con
tains great injustices.
It won’t be an easy decision. But it Is hard to
see how we can avoid making it, one way or the
other. We are rapidly approaching a great fork
in the road, and there is no middle course. Before
long we must make one of the most important
choices in our history.
It is rather dismaying to find a Washington cor
respondent reporting that the Roosevelt adminis
tration does not intend to use many of the extra
ordinary powers which will be placed at its disposal
through the new industrial bill.
Th}; t!i't of news was fneant. to be reassuring. Ac
tually it is the exact opposite; One hopes that it
is not true.
The industrial bill, if adopted in its present form.
would bring to American life the most sweeping
change that has come since the adoption of the Con
stitution itself. It would put industry on an en
tirely new basis, and it would thereby change pro
foundly the conditions under which the average Am
erican earns his living.
But in spite of those facts—or rather, because of
them—the bill is in many ways the most encourag
ing single factor. on the horizon..
That we have in Washington a Congress and an
executive willing to enact a measure of this Kkind
en_t_itfu' us to hope that we shall 3ventually work our
way out of the depression and enter a fairer era.
To pass such a bill and then to sit back and let
it gather dust on the:shelves, trusting hopefully that
the interplay of natural forces will carry us on up
jn such a manner that drastic action® will not be
needed—that would be to go straight back where
we were a couple of years ago. It would be to give
up the idea of a planned economy in favor of drift
ing. : e
Our situation being what it is we have nothing
to fear from a government that is willing to live
up to the president’s promise of “bold. persistent
xeperimentation.” Our greatest danger would be a
government that tried too hard to play safe.
. Commodity prices are beginning to rise. factory
production is beginning to increase—true enough.
and very welcome signs they are; but to "seek to
ride up on these élevators without puttng into ef
fect far-reaching correctives would be to leave
unaltered the fundamental maladjustments that
caused our woes in the first place.
The true conservative in times like these—the man
who really wants to preserve as many as possible
of our traditional institutions—is the man who it
willing to adopt new measures. The man to be afraid
of is the man who tries to stick in the old grooves.
BELIEVES IN ADVERTISING
Warner Brothers, leaders in the motion
picture industry, are great believers in
newspaper advertising., In fact, for this
year, this firm has increased its newspa
per advertising budget in a marked degree,|
especially in connection with the feature|
productions of this firm. i
- In one of their latest pictures, “The
Working Man”, George Arliss is seen at
his best. In the lines allocated to Mr. Ar
liss he delivers an address to the sale force
of a large shoe manufacturing plant which
is filled with suggestions of potential value
and benefit to be derived from newspaper
advertising. The address, in part, reads:
“You can’t run a business lying down on
the job. When a business is run down,
that’s when you’ve got to spend money and
you’ve got to advertise. You’ve got to use
better material than you’ve ever used be
fore and you've got to have a hundred
salesmen where you used to have fifty. If
Mr. Hartland tukes my advice he’ll double
your expense allowance.” Wil
Not only in the motion picture industry,
but in all lines of industry and commerce
the success of the business is due, in a
great measyre, to newspaper advertising.
It can be depended that when firms of the
magnitude as that of Warner Brothers de
clare the value ofrnewspaper advertising,
gained from personal experience, largely
respongible for the success of their pictures
there is much of merit in this form of ad
vertising. The success of “42nd Street”,
and now the success of ‘“The Working
Man” is credited to newspaper advertising
and publicity, and certainly that should be
evidence sufficient to encourage all other
lines of industry to adopt newspaper ad
vertising as their chief agency through
which to reach the public. j
“The Working Man’ tells a story of suc
cessful business enterprises and how to
successfully manage and direct business
under trying times as well as when times
are normal and prosperous. This play will
will be seen at the Palace theater tonight
and-tomorrow. It is worth the time of ev
ery business man to see this wonderful pic
ture and to benefit from the many wise
suggestions as how to conduct a business,
and especially the importance of conduct
ing a newspaper advertising campaign.
RECIPIENTS OF CHARITY
; The United States has undergone an un
’usual experience during the period ot de
pression, the like which has never before
‘been experienced in this nation. While the
relief organizations have succeeded in re
lieving much suffering, yet in many in
stances, these organizations have been im
posed upon. It is not always that the de
serving are the ‘heneficiaries of charitable
relief work. Too often, the undeserving
succeed in seciring aid when, as a matter
‘of fact, they are better off than some who
do not seek or apply for charity.
Charity and relief work often encour
age people to become beggars. The self
made beggar is an undesirable citizen for
any community. Such .people lose their
morale and self respect and become
charges on charity organizations rather
than to work and earn their own living.
In Chicago, it is alleged that there are
170,000 families on the charity list. Many
of these families, so it developed were un
worthy of charity, vet they have succeed
ed for the past two to three years to se
cure all the necessities of life without at
tempting to earn an honest living. .
No doubt investigations have been made,
but of the large number of unemployed in
that city, it was almost impossible to de
termine all the deserving families as
against the undeserving. Rather than for
any family to suffer for food and fuel, the
charity organizations have been quite lib
eral in their work of dispensing aid to
those who applied.
In years gone by, here in Athens, there
were a number of families who were de
pendent on local charity for the reason
that no one had ever investigated their
condition. The calls for charity in those
days were not proportionately large and it‘
was the purpose of the people to help all
who appeared to be in need. With that,
charitable spirit prevailing, many families
not entitled to aid benefitted from a gener
ous and kind hearted public.
Conditions are unusual now; deserving
families should be sought, classified and
helped accordingly. Under such trying
times as have been experienced during the
years of depression, it is no disgrace for
those in need to make application for re
lief. It is believed that the relief work in
Athens has been systematized and organ
ized to an extent where no deserving fam
ilies have been allowed to suffer for the
necessities of life.
FIFTEEN CENT COTTON
- Commissioner of Agriculture Adams has
predicted a price of fifteen cents for this
year’s crop of cotton. Let us hope that the
prediction of the Commissioner will come
true, but if the price reaches ten cents and
remains at that price until the farmer can
pick his cotton and market it, business will
be revived and a general upward trend
will be felt in all lines of commerce.
~ However, we would not advise building
cur hopes on too high a pinnacle. The
[price of cotton is a treacherous commodity
on which little dependence can be placed.
Speculators are to be reckoned with and
many other unexpected contingencies can
iarise that might cause the price to remain
around ten cents, but even at that price,
Georgia will experience a revival in busi
ness that has not been equaled since war
time days.
If Commissioner Adams’ predictions
come true, the years of depression will be
forgotten and the nation will settle down
to normaley and be restored to its former

Another feature of these camps
is that they will help local com

MISSING WALKER

Sherwood was a piece of jewelry,
Sherwood declared. He said it was

BIG PROFIT
- WASHINGTON. — (AP) — A
potential profit of $122,508,000 for
J. P. Morgan and Company in
1929 if it had sold securities re
ceived by it in forming the United
corporation, a wutilities stockhold
ing concern, was outlined Thurs
day to the senate investigating
committee . and agreed to by
George Whitney, a partner in the
firm.
This phase of the inquiry into
operations of the international
banking firm was reached after it
had been decided on a 11 to 3 vote
in closed session of the committee
to make public the Morgan part
nership agreement, save for names
of the present partners and the
percentages of their intersts.
Ferdinand Pecora, committee
counsel, now given free rein by
the committee, introduced the po
tential profit figure in connection
with the United corporation deal.
Whitney said it was correct.
. He directed ridicule at the fig
ure as a “surmise” of what might
rave been done but wasn’t.
t Whitney had testified Wednes
day that if the firm had sold the
[securitjes it turned over teo the
