Editorials
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
IF you read the foreign news, you
must have noted that Premier
Hamaguchi, of Japan, was shot and
seriously wounded the other day by
a young Japanese extremist, prob
ably slightly dernnged, who Is said
to have believed that he was do
ing his country a service.
As these words are written, the
wounded premier Is not yet out
of danger.
QIXTEEN years ago last summer,
" a similarly deranged Serbian
youth shot and killed an Austrian
archduke.
Probably he, too, thought he was
doing his country a service. But
he was mistaken. Out of his shot
grew the world war, in which ten
million men were killed and twenty
millions maimed.
The war started by his shot was
followed by economic disturbances
that, have brought suffering and
privations to hundreds of millions
of people.
These disturbances are not yet
over, as we know to our sor
row. tlIANY, many years ago
an
HI;
1 American youth began the
peaceful task of making experi
ments. Out of his experiments
grew inventions so strange and at
the moment apparently so radical
us to cause thoughtless people to
venture the opinion that lie must
be crazy.
This youth was Thomas A. Edl
ron. and '..e know now that he
ivasn't crazy. His inventions have
brought amazing progress to the
world and have added new com
forts and new pleasures to the
lives of millions of people.
WHAT
" runs
iT is the moral? Well, It
somuthlng like this: If
you have a son, do your very best
to bring him up in such a way that
instead of being fired by youthful
enthusiasm to grab a gun and
shoot somebody he will be led to
turn his talents to the useful tasks
of peace.
In that way. you will be doing
your part Inward making this
world a IJKTTEU world.
JL T the approaching
session of
congress, the policy of making
large appropriations for public im
provements will be considered.
It is a sound policy, and ought
to be adopted. It will provide em
ployment at a time when employ
ment will he needed, and so will
help to lighten the depression and
keep up buying power.
At the same time it will provide
needed public Improvements NOW,
so that they' will be available for
use when business activity returns
to normal.
IN the past. It has been the ten
dency to STOP all public works
when business depressions began
to be felt acutely this' on the
theory that the taxpayer was over
burdened already and ought to be
relieved as much as possible.
Dut the result of such a short
si.jbted policy Is to reduce employ-
ment still further at the very time
when It Is most essential to pro
vide ns much employment as pos
sible. Thus the depression is made pro
gressively worse.
pHAT Isn't all. Not only does
this policy of curtailment of
public Improvements decrease em
ployment at the time when employ
ment Is most essential; it defers
needed public Improvements to the
time when business Is beginning
to recover and so brings the gov
ernment Into the market for labor
and materials at the very moment
when private enterprise is begin
ning to expand under the stimulus
of better times, thus Increasing

today he will not call a special

a legal question would arise as
to whether a special session

the possibility of a referendum
