Buy It Keep It, Get Rich John D.'s Apt Question ;' Midnight Candidates j-By Arthur Brisbane 1 (Copyright 1928 uy Star Cimpauy) John D. Rockefeller, long ngo, was advised to buy stock in a certain company because "the so and so railroad is go ing to guarantee dividends for ninety-nine years." "Did he hnppen to tell you," asked Mr. Rockefeller, "who was going to guarantee that railroad?" ' ""'-.. ." Mr. Wickersharh" warns the Republican politicians against nominating a "midnight candi date," saying, "The country is not in any mood to accept an other Harding." . Among .Republican mana gers that have '"midnight" ideas, even the tamest that ever nte from a Wall Street hand, there is vague perception of the fact that a real candidate will be needed with Al Smith run ning. Wall Street, unhappy yester day, decides that the four-hour day, ending at 2 p.m., is a mis take. That "2 p. m." in New York is 1 0 a. m. on the Pacific ' Coast, too early . for business to get well started. Dr. Max Mason, leaving the Chicago University presidency to join the Rockefeller Founda tion, foresees iiv yeara to' come "a world free of hunger, pover ty and illness, peopled by men understanding the workings of iheir own minds,." Dr. Mason soys: "We may even colonize other planets some day. These planets are "colon' ized" now, undoubtedly mahy of them, let us hope, looking in pity upon this poor, sick planet with its plagues, wars nnd cheating. " Six hundred million dollars the Rockefeller Foundation will help Dr. Mason to answer the questions: "What makes men unhap py? Why should men go hun gry, etc.)" An answer that doesn't cost anything like this: Men are unhappy and hun gry because they are ignorant and because powerful men use their brains to collect wealth that they don't need instead of helping those that need help. ., "' . Two hundred more may die in Hamburg, killed ,by deadly phosgene war gas accidentally released. Americans should realize that a country not protected against airplanes that would drop such gas on cities is a foolish country. It is Darticularly foolish when ns in our case, it is the richest nation in the world, doubly ai.d trebly foolish when it buys use less battleships, spending on one battleship enough money to build a complete air fleet. Business men in Europe are outraged by high interest rali s paid on American loans and the big "rake-off" of American f financiers handling the losns. The worst is that when the time comes to repudiate sorr.e of those foreign bonds they will be in the hands tf little American investors far from the vaults of the ".-ale off" gentlemen. w The death of Dr. Noguchi, a courageous Japanese scientist, is a great loss to the world. Backed by the Rockefeller Institute, Noguchi was a leader in the war against disease, and poverty and misery born of di sease. Yellow fever killed him at last, as he sought for more knowledge in the African yel- low fever regions. Some bronze bandit on horseback should give his high (Continued on page 4.)
