XITE HOPE President Roosevelt is right. For if he is, the
entire prospect for world peace and human betterment
is transformed with the coming of the new year. Certainly this
sorely tried world could have no better Christmas present.
TN HIS radio speech at the commemoration of the 77th birth-
day anniversary of Woodrow Wilson last night, the Presi
dent acquiesced in the American refusal to join the League of
Nations, but in reality adopted the essential principle of that
league, and its idealism.
That essential principle i a world organization devoted to
world peace not implemented to secure it, through force, but
through moral suasion and common agreement, supported by
worjd opinion.
Its idealism rests upon the assumption that President Wil
son made, and President Roosevelt now accepts, that the
danger to world peace lies not in the world populations, but in
the political leaders of that population.
.
IN other words, President Roosevelt believes that the people
the rank and file, of ALLj nations, want peace and do not
want war. He believes that the present dangers of war, are
due to the leaders, the politicians in control of the various gov
ernments, who fail to represent publie opinion, and are secretly
and maliciously working for war, contrary to the desire of their
constituents.
This was President Wilson's idea. It was the corner-stone
of his slogan, a war to end war, "to make the world safe for
democracy." He believed, for example, that if the autocracy
of the kaiser were overthrown and the people of Germany
were given a republic, not only would the people of Germany
demand peace, but insist upon its permanence.
Roosevelt expresses a similar idea when after condemning
contemporary political leadership, he declares:
"Men and women they serve are o far In advance of that type
or leadership that we could get a world accord on peace Immedi
ately If the people of the world spoke for thenuelvea."
Could wef That is the all important question. Would the
people of Germany today for example, if they could speak for
themselves, overthrow Hitler, abandon all hope of a union of
the German speaking people in Central Europe, unprotcstingly
conform to the provisions of the treaty of Versailles, and forget

The emphasis upon "hard-headed practical survey," and
"throughout the world" is ours. For certainly those two items
are of supreme importance.
In other words, as far as President Roosevelt is concerned,
the thought has not been aired by the wish. In making this
plea for a Now Deal in world peace, he has not allowed a I

One memorable winter I resolved
to preserve proper humidity at all

air Is heated,
Some people Imagine steam or hot
water radiators do not dry the air
out as much as the air furnace does.
There Is no choice between them on
that score. The thing that deter
mines the relative humidity or dry
ness of the atmosphere whichever
way you prefer to put it Is the
degree to which you heat the air.
At 64 to 68 degreea P. the air still
retains a fair amount of water vapor
and Is "conditioned" for comfort.
With evory degree of heat above 68
the air becomes drier and drier, so
that by the time you get the tem

FEW changes In the recovery pro
gram, we read, are to be asked of
congress by President. Roosevelt.
That means, of course, that the
President Is pretty well satisfied with
the program as It etands.

of the American public.
NRA, viewing It dispassionately In
the light of some five months'
experience, Is a fine thing for the
big Industries, such as lumber, oil.
steel, chemicals, etc.
It la eliminating a lot of the chis
eling practlcea that were so disast
rous. It Is making possible, for the
first time, control of production, ao
that supply may be aomewhat adapt
ed to demand.
NRA, If It la upheld by the courts,
will probably prove to be the salva
tion of the lumber Industry, enabling
It to do something In the way of pro
duction control that It has been try
ing to do for 30 years, but FAILINO.
If NRA subluxes the lumber In
dustry, It will be a godsend to the
Pacific Coaat.
SMALL business, It must be added
in candor, has not been helped by
NRA, except as It may have benefited
by general Improvement In business

to big business by NRA.

setting In In earnest, which means
that PWA activities will enter Into
competition with private business for
labor and. materials, thus helping to
exaggerate the boom that usually fol
lows a depression.
PWA, on the other hand, has been
V ft pleasant aurprtse.
Its effect has been to put money
IMMEDIATELY Into the hands at
those who need It and will spend It.
This money substitutes for thc dole,
as practiced last winter, and has thc
tremendous advantage of retaining
the self respect of those who receive
it, whereas the dole makes paupers.
For nearly three yoars.fwe have
been trying devices to Increase pur
chasing power, . but about the only
noticeable reault of these devices hss
been to pile money up tn bank vaults.
CWA has got the money out and
put it to work.
A AA, which is the agricultural ad-
Juatment administration, la still
on trial.
The scheme to levy a tax on oer- '
tain basic farm products. In order to j
raise the money with which to hire
farmers to keep their land out of
production, seems to have worked
fairly well In the case of cotton and
wheat. In the case of pork, at least
so far as the Pacific Coast la con
cerned, It hss been a-cruel delusion.
The processing tax has come out of
the farmer's pocket, thus reducing
still farther the already too low price
for hogs.
ALL these devices, tfowever, are
too new to be Judged accurately
as yet, and the President Is wise to
watch his new system In operation
for some time longer before making
changes In It.
