' i TANKS AND MONUMENTS
! Two entirely unrelated news stones appeared in the same
issue of the Observer a few days ago, and if you happened
to read-them both they may have set you thinking.
One story told of the new army tank that was being tested
at Linden, N. J. This tank proved itself capable of travel
ing 110 miles an hour along the highways, and 60 miles an
hour over rough ground. It can jump over ditches and it is
light enough to be carried by a large airplane. All in all,
it seems to be a delightfully efficient bit of fighting mach-
inery- ...... i'ij.yiilIJi

It .8 beginning to look very much as if the end of the de
pression were just about in sight. The upturn probably
iwon't be rapid, but it at least ought to be steady; and if at
last it is at hand, the nation will be as truly thankful as if a
long and arduous war had ended. , ; . .
Hut there are one or two thing. the depression has taught
us, and it is to bo hoped that we can renieihber them after
good times return.
First and foremost, the depression has taught us that
our utter lack of any organized system to prevent recurrence
of the unemployment cycle is almost criminally stupid.
. Secondly, it lias proved pretty clearly that our hil-or-miss
way of taking care of the victims of the unemployment cycle
is about as unsatisfactory as it possibly could be.
And when one ponders over these facts it is a little hard
to understand why there are still die-hards who protest
loudly against any plans for stale old age and unemployment
insurance.
The Ohio Chamber of Commerce the other day issued a
blast on these allied subjects. It declared that such pioptis
jils are "socialistic" and it predicted that they would "unddr
manc and weaken" the character of the people.
Now here is a point worth1, looking at.
Possibly the sturdy solf-relionce of the'wagc-earner would
miffer if the wage-earner knew that the state hail instituted
a system whereby he would be guaranteed a pittance if his
factory had to shut down, liut you might take a few min-'
utes off, sometime, and consider whether our present svstem. 1
or lack of system, is not even more fatal to self-reliance and
ambition, - "-' - H
Co to the breadlines and see if the private charity that has
tided us through this depression has not "undermined and
weakened the character of its recipients.
