Will Roosevelt
Jf G.. WELLS, who comes nearer being a major prophet than
anyone else in the world of letters, has a most interest
ing article in the current Liberty Magazine entitled "Roose
velt's place in history."
Wells is convinced Roosevelt will figure very importantly in
human hintory, will by the force of circumstances be picked out
as marking an epoch ; but he is not so sure, he will, by hia force
of character, wisdom and powers of leadership, succeed in
MAKING a new epooh. .
We quote
"I think she psople of 3098 are almost bound to take him.
. just aa they are bound to take President Wilson, aa a flgurs or
crucial significance In the world history of our time, whether
they blame him or praise him. The historians wlU bs able to
tell their story most conveniently by centering their analyses of
events upon the problems, difficulties, Intuitions, and errors of
these two men. No contemporary Europeans except Lenin and
Stalin are likely to rank with these two American presidents la
what shall I call It? elucidatory importance. Hitler and
Mussolini In contrast are essentially digressions as Napoleon
waa a digression who will. I think, dwindle down the corridors
of time to compsratlve Insignificance. They are setbacks, lrrele
Tant to the main process of human development. And the whole
process of British politics remains still essentially Insignificant,
still centered upon secondary Issues. But both Wilson and
Roosevelt are flgurea already In direct contact with the mighty
world problems our race must solve or perish Wilson with the
riddle of world unity, for which he failed altogether to find an
answer, and Roosevelt with the debris of Wilson's attempt and
the added problem of Increased unemployment In a world of
excess production."
The English author also believes that the American experi
ment will go down in history
Russian experiment.-
"The American experiment for all Its intensifying isolation,
will probably remain more edifying and Influential to Europe,
the British Empire and South America because It 1 being made
on a much more kindred social and economic structure. The
Russian experiment hss sought to build a modern state on the
basis of a medieval peasantry and the wreckage of a quasi
Oriental absolutism; the American reconstruction is being, at
tempted upon an Industrial fabric huger than, if not quite so
highly developed In its labor organizations aa, any In Europe,
and with a population at levels of education varying wltb each
atate but In some states even higher than and on the average
quite comparable to those of western Europe. What America
tries today, the European communities realize they themselves
are likely to be trying tomorrow. This Is particularly true of the
Anglo-Saxon portion of the British Empire. The phases may
be different, Esst and West may be out of step, but they will
have to march In the sams direction. It Is In the role of a
foundation builder or a noble failure that President Roosevelt
seems most likely to find his place In world history.
What must be done t What
old world do to right itself t The famous British author is quite
clear in his own mind at least, regarding this
"It ts growing very plain now what la needed and what 1
desirable. More and more of us are realizing that this new
social ordsr hss to be a plsnned order, and we are beginning
also to realize that somehow it must be made world-wide.
These two main point are becoming platitudes, and' even more
so Is the third primary necessity of a monetary measure of
value or world-wide validity. A coamopolltan planned economy
with a controlled money system Is becoming the universal
desideratum; the problem la to ge.t It. ,4
The great obstacle before President Roosevelt in achieving
this end, as the author sees it, lies in what is generally termed
Big Business, but also includes the essential quality of public
service, the real nature of American citizenship :
"From the European viewpoint the American experiment
seems handicapped by some very distinctive difficulties. Ths
United States civil service Is comparatively underdeveloped.
It Is, we are told, a weaker organization altogether than, say,
the British or Oerman prewar civil services. It follows that such
a revolutionary change-over from free competition to controlled
production and distribution as the president la attempting, a
Change-over from Individualism to socialism, can work only if
the bulk of the executlvea of the great business organizatlona
cut be converted at one swoop into an smergency civil service.
These men will have to swing their minds right round from
business fighting to business cooperation, and work for the
public profit Instead of, shareholders' dividends. Is such a change
of heart and habit possible? Or will the president after his first
bold break toward Planning, find support falling away from
him? Will he discover a dry rot of disloyalty In these new
organizations he Is evoking? Will he discover that the more one
changea America, the more America remains the same thing?
Or haa he reckoned with that? Is he a driving force, or is he
Just gesture and resultant like any of those old things we call
statesmen In Europe?
To our mind there is no doubt of the profound truth of this
statement. . The same idea was expressed in this column many
months ago when we stated that the time would soon come when
the shocp would HAVE to be separated from the gonts in this
country' when those who merely give LIP service to Roosevelt
and his policies because they happened for the moment to be
popular; must be separated from those who actually believe both
in him and his principles, and even more vital, ARE READY
TO MAKE THOSE SACRIFICES WHICH ARE NECESSARY
BEFORE THIS NEW WORLD, CAN BE ESTABLISHED.
"PHIS supreme test is starting now. It will become more and
more aoute as time goes on. Nothing is born in this life
without labor pains. The labor pains of this birth of a New
World are going to be terrific The question is, will the people
of America and particularly the leaders of finance and industry
the government behind the government, be willing to endure
them. The answer to that is probably whether or not, a major
ity of the people, realize that the only alternative is national
ruin.
Suoh an outcome, the formation of a new world by Roosevelt,
Mr. Wells believes is possible but not probable. Its possibility
is based upon the assumption that President Roosevelt is really
a greater man, than he believes him to be, that in reality he is
a world and not merely a national figure.
In this vein the author of "New Worlds for Old" concludes:
"It Is quite possible that we observers at a distance underrate
the president personally and his personal possibilities. He may
feel It necessary to reserve Ms essential philosophy, and mask
the full scale of his plana until general opinion comes up to
him. We msy presently see promise cryatslllalng more distinctly
In the United States and have him speaking serosa the Atlsntlo
In the hearing and knowledge of all men, saying to ths British,
let us say, "Here In America we have done so and so. We hsv
Imposed a certain system of controls upon Industrial life and w
have proved that a measured Inflation to lighten the weight
of the creditor upon us Is possible. It Is beginning to work.
Will you come Into phase with us?' Will you assimilate wtth us
In a planned production and distribution, and In our new con
trolled monetary method? Then the cogs of our machinery
and yours will mesh and the Incorporation of the rest of the
world with us Into a new planned world-wide economic structure
will be only a question of time."
. That might prove a very compelling utterance.
"Such a thing Is a possibility but I feel It Is highly 1m.
probabls. And If It does not happen before very long. If creative
' forces do not become confluent across the Atlantic, then 1 think
the present American experiment, like the Russian, will figure
In history rsthsr by Its lessons than Its permsnent achievement,
and ths task of reconstructing humsn stfalra on the lines of the
world stst will have to begin again from some other center
and at some other level.
These are the nasons why In my Imaginary history of the
near future, "The Shape of Things to Come," I have represented
President Roosevelt ss msrklng but not making an epoch In
human development. And I do not think that this Is really
a very serious detraction of the man ss a man. Bv the scale of

Succeed or Fail?
as far more important than the
must this harassed and tottering
But I doubt If It ts In the cspsclty of any alngle human being
to lead our race round thla difficult corner. In the past great
generals srose. They fought little daylong bsttles with armies a
few score thousands atrong. On that scale glory waa In the
compass of one man. But no great general arose In the World
War. The Job waa too Immense. And this present Job before
mankind la vastly greater. It will never be tackled by Wilsons,
Rooaevelts, Lenin, staltns, and so forth all working on their
own. The carry-over from the catastrophic phsse of today to
the new world, state of freedom and abundant Ufa must, I be
lieve,, be the work of a gathering, growing number of men In
spired by a common apprehension of the needs and possibilities xof
ths case. I am not thinking of any hastily compiled Brain Trust
though even to have entertained that Idea puts the president
on a far higher level than that all-sufficient poseur Mussolini:
I AM THINKING OF A WIDE UNORGANIZED GROWTH OF
UNDERSTANDING.
"When that understanding develops commanding force the
new world will be made accessible; and not before. The days of
one-man leadership are at an end.
"History may havs to teU of Franklin Roosevslt as a algnifl
cant gesture and a failure; that will detract nothing from the '
real heroism snd the real pathos of his lonely and manifestly
quite honest attempt to face the needs and menace of his time."

HOT DOGS FOB
There Is a fairly common notion
that one should not eat much fat
food In hot weather, it Is true that
f a t yields more
than twice a.
much heat as pro
tein or carbohy-
ictrate material
idoes. The legen
dary craving of
the Eskimo for
blubber Is natural
enough. Plenty of
oil or fat enables
one to keep warm
if exposed to ex
tremely cold tem-
u.&t4perature. But that
does not enter into the problem of
keeping cool in hot weather. Prob
sbly an excess of protein (such ai
lean meat, whites of egg, cheese) In
.hot weather cause more discomfort
from the heat than would a hearty
consumption of fatty food.
It has recently been recognized
that the loss of salt from the body,
tn the sweat, both the visible and
tne constant invisible sweat, Is an
Important factor In producing heat
prostration, sunstroke or heat cramps.
Persons exposed to the high de
grees of -heat on the southwestern
deserts may not notice much sweat
ing for the dryness of the air causes
such rapid sweating, but Invisible
aweatlng Is going on all the time.
and Is the principal way In which
the bodt cools. After a day on the
desert It Is not unusual to find that
there has been a loss of a gallon of
water through this almost Invisible
sweating. Dr. D. P. Dill, Investigat
ing the question at the Boulder dam,
lost 30 pounds In seven hours walk
ing In the desert In a temperature
of 104 degrees P. In shade. He drank
13 pounds of water In the course of
the walk, thus finishing with a net
loss of seven pounds weight.
The skin tastes strongly of salt
under such conditions. The sweat
carries considerable salt with it. This
loss of salt from the blood Is nearly
as Important to make up as Is the
loss of water. If care Is taken to
keep the salt supply greater than;
the salt loss there Is far less likeli
hood of heat cramps, heat prostra-!
lion or sunstroke. Moreover, one ;
who experiences much discomfort !
from heat or humidity or both will
find that a plentiful supply of salt
In or on his food prevents the dls-1
comfort. I
Drinking water containing salt has
been used successfully to prevent j
heat cramps In the U S. army. Ani
old practice Is to add some barley or
some oatmeal to the drinking water!

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE government of Premier Albert
Sarraut, of France, we read. Is
overthrown on a vote of confidence
In the chamber of deputies, and
hence, In accordance with European
custom, will resign and a new gov
ernment will be formed.
This new government will be the
fifth In France within a year.
IN FRANCE, as In moat of the lead
ing European countries, the pre
mier is the executive who corresponds
most nearly to our President.
He I appointed. Instead of being
elected. In France, he Is appointed
by the president, and serves aa long
as he retalna the confidence of the
chamr-er of deputies, which corres
ponds to our congress.
But ss soon as hs LOSES the con
fidence of the chamber of deputies
that Is to say, when the chamber
votes against one of his policies
which has been submitted to it for
confirmation or rejection he resigns.
and a new premier Is appointed.
His assistants, who correspond
more or less nearly to our cabinet,
resign with him, and the new pre
mier chooses a new set of assistants.
WE ELECT a President for four
years . and he stays elected
barring death or impeachment.
Under the European system, the
premier, who corresponds roushly to
our President, remains In office only
aa long aa he has the support of the
legislative body elected by the peo
ple. There are many who contend that
the European aystem la more respon
sive to public opinion than our own,
and Is therefore better.
THIS writer, for one, Is not much
Interested In that contention.
If the European system suits the
Europeans, it Is best for them. If
our system suits us, it is best for us.
The best form of government for
ANT people Is that form which suits
them best.
MOST of us will agree that we
change Presidents at least often
enough ss It Is. If we changed every
time congress .disagreed with the

IT IS Interesting to not that ths
Issue on which the chamber of
deputies split with the premier wsa
a bill proposing that there bs no
Income tax on government employes
receiving less than 143 a year.
In this country we dont tsx the
income of ANT government employe,
no matter what be gets.
We go on the theory that the salary
of a government employ la paid by
the government, and that levying an
Income tax on him would amount
to reducing hia salary.
If the government reduces the sal
ary of an employ by levying an in
come tax on him, according to this
theory, It would be more or less ob
ligated to raise his salary enough to
offset the tax..
At least that la the way ths theory
goes.
THIS writer, for one, Is of ths
opinion that government em
ployes should pay an income tax, the
sams as snybody else.
Why not?
They receive all the benefits of
government, the same a employes
of private concerns. Why should they
not be willing to help PAY for these
benefits?
THE economists! of xurse, will tell
you that we levy taxes not ac
cording to benefits received by ac
cording to ability to pay.
True enough. But government em
ployes have the aame ability to pay
aa others receiving equivalent In
comes. This writer can sse no sound
reason why their Incomes should not
be taxed the aame as others.

that many of the reports are too citi
fied from the standpoint of the farm
er reader. Perhaps that is due to the
fact that few publications have had
the contact with the agricultural con
ditions to be able to interpret the
news in its relationship to actual con
ditlons on the farm-
Realizing as we do how well the
Mail Tribune Is edited, we feel sure
that any contribution we may make,
no matter however slight, on reil
farm news, will receive the attention
due It. H. M. OROS3E.
