Now Is Time For Summing Up
Three years of depression have ended and we can begin to
sum up.
Jtzssz'zzr ■ 1 "" -
a great deal of hardship and a long black list of bankruptcies.
But real readjustments had to occur to put a sound foundation
under family and business life.
Those who expanded and operated on the principle that that
»b.ch *«s „p ^ neve,. c»,„e down, and lh« boon, prosperity
would continue unabated forever, had to be deflated.
The individual has found that it is possible to live happily and
comfortably on a pre-war basis. He has found that the arbiter
of wages is what the dollar will buy. He’s come down to earth.
Thesp are the “healthful breezes’’ of depression. The decks
have been cleared for action, and the way of recovery is open.
As for the problems of depression, they are still vital and in
tense. Writing in the Yale Review, Sir Arthur Salter observed
that 1933 will be one of the most crucial years in modern history.
The pressing and increasing weight of taxation stifles the
capital (industry) of the world, creating unemployment and pre
venting industrial expansion and the further investment of money.
The burden of armaments, with their drain on national in
comes and their constant threat to world peace, grows greater.
In every important country the cost of wars, past, present and lu
ture, is .the major item in the national budget.
The question of foreign trade looms large on the economic
horizon. In normal times, foreign sales amount to ten per cent
of the gross in this country—and ten per cent is the margin be
tween profit and loss in the average business. Today foreign
trade is almost non-existetnt, due largely to a new and intense
spirit of economic nationalism which finds its expression in tai
iff wars and embargoes. Almost every economist of distinction,
here and abroad, stresses the need for revitalizing foreign trade
factor in the work of recovery. Tied up with this is the
as a of half the
problem of silver, which affects the purchasing power
»world's people. When silver is depressed, as at present, the sil
ver standard countries are unable to buy in the gold standard

The picture at home is undoubtedly more
the world picture. We have the finest industrial organism in
existence—we have the factories and the machines and the farms
that are adequate to our needs. Our utilities, our railroads, our
oil companies, our insurance institutions, are the harbingers of
American progress. They represent honest national assets, as
against the fictitious assets we counted on in the boom days.
Because the machinery of distribution has slowed, it does not
mean that the machinery of production is lacking or faulty.
Our greatest single problem is unemployment. Ten million
of our working population is at present out of a job, and its buy
ing lias come to a stop. Much of this unemployment is tempo
rary—part of it is the result of machine displacement of labor.
Today the foremost industrialists are working toward plans to
shorten the working day and the working week, and to provide
of unemployment insurance that will assure the able
some means well good, it
and willing worker a livelihood in bad times as as
is difficult to believe that their efforts will end in failure. The
weight of taxation, which forces retrenchment, is preventing the
employment of many of those now seeking jobs.

Too Big for Comfort
When Frauleiu Brunhilde, the Ger
man giantess, was in London some
years ago she never dared go out for
a walk, because at once a crowd col
lected to stare up at her. She was
very nearly eight feet high. She could
not get Into a taxi and could only
travel In a specially made motor car.
Life, she explained, was “one contin
ual bending."

like it! They actually tell
that they can’t make any money

If the pay was cut to four dol

more women, and cleaner gov

Then I approached a dozen or
more members of the General
Assembly on this!* The 1927
session named Ernest Neal poet
laureate of Georgia. With all
this honor, and deserving it too,
Mr. Neal is in needjj circum

Georgia schools fifty years, has
written his poems into books*
but with all this, I find my fel

Not one man was willing for his
salary to be cut, that an appro

Confederate veterans who had
nursed their husbands through
long years oT sickness, arid are
now in i.eed, ard do not receive
a pension. They say, “The state
just hasn’t the money!” And
they are not helping to get any

Talmadge said i:i his inaugu

body’s pay roll cut, and begin
“with me!” He received much
applause
Then I have to cover my face
at the things I see here in mv

men are fools, cowards, brutes,
and not a single one of them will
take up arms against the foe!
They sleep while the enemy
leads the lamb to the slaughter.
Then I see in the distance a
great company—dressed in white
