An Ancient Concept
BY BRUCE CATTON
V"lfi‘r‘. Jouett Shouse‘'s recent asscktion—in reply
0 & White House criticism—that human rights and
property rights are inseparable, suggests that we
jieed to Fe-examine the whole question of what con-
stitutes freedom.
" The inter-relationship of human and property
rights dates back to the Dark Ages. The legacy of
l&w and order that came down from the Roman
empire was a littlg better than a memory. For the
ordinary man, might made right, and it did no good
te cry about it
“"In those days the common man was little better
than property himself. He was attached to the soil,
ond hig life was at the mercy of his overlord. The
whole development of feudalism was simply the story
of society’s effort to evolve some kind of protection
for him.
"When the common man of those days tried to
win a little freedom for himself, he had no abstract
concepts of liberty in mind. Our modern concern over
freedom of speech and conscience would have been
bevond his understanding. .
Liberty, to him, meant the right to own a bit of
property, and to be secure in that ownership, no
mattey how much the rich and powerful might covet
what he Lad. \
"As the vears passed, this struggle for freedom con
tinied. The merchant in the town, the peasant on
the farm, the exporter who took pack-loads of goods
over makeshift roads or sent ships past the haunts
of pirates- -ali of these people wanted, first and fore
most, to be secure against the threat of disposses-
Eion.
PR b
150 rree&‘pm meant anyvthing to them, it meant that.
Property rights, théen mean human rights, very di
rectly.
Now the property right of those days was a very
personal thing. The ordinary man was struggling te
got out from under; he could do it only through the
medium of his possessions.
To be able to do what he wished with his own
wig the supremely necessary first step on the road
o liberty.
What we need to do today is to study whether
that =ll holds good in a time of far-flung, imper
gonal corporations; to determine, for instance,
whether the same sacrednesg attaches to a corpora
ton's rights in a coal mine, for instance (which no
gtockholder has ever seen), as it doeg to a peas
ant’s possession of a cow which is his family's in
surance against starvation.
~\We might find that the fight for freedom today is
on a different basis than it was centuries ago—and
on the other hand, we might not. I any case,
We need a thorough public discussion of the whole
subject.
Bither the representatives of munitions manufac
turers have a way of taking credit for things they
mever did, or they sometimes step about ten miles
over the hounds of propriety.
The American people have not yet forgotten how
Yiljam B. Sheareyr took the glory (or whatever you
¢are'tp call it) for the wrecking of the Geneva naval
cenference. Now the senate investigators find a let
ter In which Sterling J. Joyner claimg the credit
for placing two congressmen on the powerful House
Rules Committec in 1928,
It has been asserted that the Geneva conference
would have failed even without Shearer's efforts,
and it mmay well be that the two congressman in
question would have got on the rules committee
without Joyner's help. :
But the whole business leaves a bad taste, in any
case. l’l‘he munitiong makers’ representatives either
e¢laim too rmiuch—opr do too much.
The T'nited States and Canada joined hands re
cently to dedicate restored Fort Niagara, at the foot
of Lake Irie: and while the colorful ceremonies
dréw much public attention, the whole occasion
really shouid have been impressed on our attention
‘even more strongly.
~ Yor this celebration emphasized a familiar but
gul{.zfi'ofoundly important fact; namely, that the
‘long frontier hetween Canada and the United States

En g world that bristles with international fears

premely confident that they will keep the peace
(with gach other that they let their joint frontier go

- HOLLYWOOD—For three yeas 19-year-old June

Now she is working in her first picturg ‘“Music in

A thing like that couldn’t happen anywhere else
but Hollywood. And it’s a bit unusual even in this

It was in the summer of 1931 that June was handed

CALIFORNIA VS. FLORIDA
For years there has existed a lively riv
alry between California and Florida over
fruit growing. Florida has taken rank as
growing the most delicious fruit of all
states. However, this reputation has been
challenged and on every occasion where
the subject of fruits arise, California comes
forward with claims of growing a superior
fruit. Florida, however, does not suffer
by comparison of fruits and vegetables.
The Florida orange has never been equal
ed. The demand for the Florida fruit comes
first in all sections of the country. In ap
pearance and in sweetness, the Florida
orange is preferable to the California
orange, notwithstanding the great amount
of publicity and advertising that state has
done to press is claims for being the great
est of all states in orange growing.
Discussing the comparisons of the or
ange: grown in Florida and the orange
grown in California, the Christian Science
Monitor, says:
“Inthat amazing place, California, where
“bigger” and “better” are by-words, cit
rus growers are dyeing their oranges. It
seems that during the last winter there
wasn’t enough chilly weather (Florida pa
pers please ohserve) to impart that prized
golden blush to the orange crop. A harm
less vegetable dye was invented to give the
fruit a uniform. coloring.
“That good publicity story seemed
plausible enough, but its recent sequel sur
passes it. The famous Valencia oranges
from that area are to grow immense by
what amounts to spoon-feeding on a large
scale, To the irrigation water that sup
plies the southern California trees is add
ed liquid ammonia, giving 8 per cent pure
nitrogen to the tree as plant food. Ordinary
chemical fertilizer, it is said, delivers but
4 'per cent pure plant food. Besides ease
of handling, the growers expect to save
on fertilizer freight costs, 8
“Will the citrus growers of Arizona,
Florida and Texas complain to the AAA
that these are sherp practices and that the
Califorrians must let nature do its work
unaided? In these days of codes and bu
reaus looking for something to enforce,
nothing is impossible. Better yet, let Cali
fornia’s rivals find their own ways for bet
tering their products—anything, so long asi
they get good publicity out of it, and the
consumer gets the product.” |
All of which may be true, but regardless
of coloring and packing, the Florida or
ange is superior to all oranges, in taste and
in sweetness.
COMMERCIAL AVIATION
While many lines of business have suf
fered since 1929, commercial aviation has
not only jheld‘its own, but it has shbwn a‘
remarkable inerease. Temporarily,the gov
ernment suspended the use of commercial
airplanes, but a coniderable portion of for
mer contracts have been restored with
these companies. In addition, commercial
}and fiassenger transportation has shown a
‘healthy increase over the same period as
of last year.
Safety of air travel has been improved
and become a popular mode of transporta
tion. In faect, it is alleged that it is as safe
as any form of travel now used for com
mercial purposes. The New York Times
in an advertisement, recently, caters to
passenger and commercial traffic. Which
reads, as follows:
“A passenger may leave New York City
at midnight and arrive in Chicago for
breakfast. High class sleeping a2ccommo
dations are provided.
“The planes fly smoothly and sleeping
berths are as commodious and as comforta
ble as one finds in a railroad Pullman. -
“Berths may be occupied at 10 o’clock
in the evening, permitting those who retire
early to have a full night’s rest.”
It is now being 'planned to establish a
direct line connecting New York and Lon
don, which it is believed will be put into
operation at an early date. Such a plan is
not visionary nor is it impossible y it is only
a question of time when the route will be
in operation and people will be flying from
?}is country to many of the foreign na
ions.
NECKERS AND NAGGERS
A new solution of the many automobile
accidents has been found by William Col
lins, chief of the Cook County highway po
lice in Illinois, He is of the belief that those
who hold necking parties while driving on
the highway is one of the chief causes for
many of the accidents and that married
couple are addicted to the practice of
quarreling while out driving, forgetting
that other motorists are entitled to a por
tion of the highway, their quarrels end in
smash ups. :
The foregoing goes to show that acci
dents are not always attributal to unfor
seen occurrences. And there may be some
thing to the suggestion of the chief of po
lice of the Illinois county. However, every
precaution should be taken by autoists,
whether on the highways or on the streets
of municipalities. If motorists will con
sider a fair division of the highways and
streets, accidents will soon cease and the
use of automobiles made as asfe as other
modes of transportation.
Bricks made from sawdust by a western
firm can be used for fuel. The sawdust
is placed in a machine which exerts an
enormous pressure on the fine wood par
ticles, pressing them into bricks which
have the efficiency of 8 3-4 pounds of coal.
The theory that the absorption of light
from a star by the atmosphere surrounding
it causes it to explode was advanced by
Dr. Dean B. McLaughlin of the University
of Michigan.
Probably the most accurate clocks in the
world are two at Greenwich Observatory,
in England. Each is checked every 30 sec
onds by a pendulum swinging in a vacuum.
If we dig down into the earth to a depth
of about 25,000 feet, we find a tempera
ture of approximately 200 degrees,

NEW YORK,—Meanderings: The

theatrical people in from Holly

Dramatists, producers, lyricists

prosperity or idleness.
Debs and dowagers have de
