the first wagon train headed for the Oregon country. The
subject has great possibilities. If it equals the Oregon Trail

NORMAN THOMAS ATTACKS ECONOMIC OKDER
The report of a speecli delivered at the University of
Nebraska recently by Norman Thomas brings sonic interest
ing opinions to our attention. Mr. Thomas was socialist
candidate for president in 1928 and is a former Congrega
tional minister. He is recognized as being a nihil of unusual
ability, not a "red", and motivated by sincere interest in
the betterment of humanity.
His talk, as we have said, outlined some interesting opin
ions, but it was very lacking in convincing argument or in
practical solutions for the ills that he says should be elimin
ated from our present system. lie severely criticizes the
economic order of the day, deplores the labor situation, but
doesn't state how it is to be corrected. He says:
"What I want is more than a general willingness
to admit that democrats and republicans may not
know so much about national problems. What we
need today in a new potnt of view, sormnrny of look
ing at life that calls out intelligence and emotions to
apply to public affairs. The lack of it brings about a
general apathy that stagnates American politics.
Wo should break away from sheephood.
"With our control over nature, poverty is inex
cusable, yet we have made no attempt to get at the '
bottom of the problem. We accept conditions as wo
find them, and answer them with dogmas that have
lost all meaning.
"Do unto others as you would have them; do' to
you, and do it first, is our international law. Instead
of applying our energies for the safety of Americans
in Nicaragua, we need national patriotism for the
removal of slums, victory over disease, and solving
of the unemployment problem."
Which last paragraph, especially, will meet with general
approval. In fact, 11 sounds very much like the present
Hoover doctrine in its reference to solving the unemployment
problem and making poverty unknown. That has been an
outstanding activity of the present administration and the
Hoover conferences for the promotion of building and in
dustrial activity to aid employment was original with the
president. It was not first suggested by the former social
istic candidate.
Progress is determined only by comparison. Looking at
conditions as they are, anyone can find defects, problems
that need solution. We have not yet and probably never
will reach the hullenneum. Hut Mr. Thomas might well
remember one or two things that are peculiar to this country
things that have become peculiar to it under republican
and democratic administration, whether because of them or
in spite of them.
Ho says that poverty is inexcusable. Probably true, but
there is less poverty in this country than any on the face
of the earth. He says we need national patriotism for the
removal of the slums, victory over disease, and solving of the
unemployment problem. Quite right, and we are inclined to
believe that considerable progress is being made in that
direction. Just as we have less poverty, we have fewer
slums than any country in the world, we have done mure in
scientific research to conquer disease than any country in
the world, and we have less idle workers in proportion to
population than other countries.
Much improvement is still possible, without question. lUil
how is that improvement to be accomplished? What new
policies are to bo inaugurated that will make for greater
progress? How can we change the present eeontnnic system
to effect the bettcimont everyone desires? Mr. Thomas
dosn't say. He doesn't offer a practical solution.
Would lie urge a federal appropriation of half a billion
dollars, a la Senator Smith Wildnian KiDokharl, to give
five million unemployed the temporary benefit of u few
dollars? Much more generous doles in England have failed
to solve the unemployment problem there in the last decade.
Would he legislate a division of profits lietweon groat cor
porations and their workers and thus remove their incentive
for efficiency and expansion ? Russia's scheme for a worker's
paradise is working so well that the workers are fighting to
get out of their "paradise."
Many people will be quick to agree with the charges Mr.
Thomas makes .against the existing economic oitler. Hut they
have difficulty following him further until he offers conduc
tive criticism. - '
