England's
EVERY now and then lome sad-faced "elder statesman" arises
to announce how much faster and better England has come
out of the depression than the United States.
"And without any hokui pocus like the 'Xew Deal', tool"
The inevitable moral is that if President Roosevelt had done
nothing but fold his hands and let nature and Big Business have
their way, we would all be sailing along on easy street at the
present time.
No "New Deal"t The fact is England has had and still has
a "New Deal" that would make Roosevelt's program look like
an epitaph on King Tut'a sarcophagus. It isn't identical with
the Roosevelt New Deal, but it is similar.
A BUILDING program! The British government has financed
the construction of 200,000 houses. Relief. Thirty or
forty percent of the workers are on a dole.

standard for nearly half a decade, has repudiated its war debts,
has cut interest on its own bonds, in spite of the howls of the
bond holders, has slashed federal
down the line,
We don't deny England has come out from the depression
more rapidly than any other country in Europe. But not by
just muddling through and letting nature take its course.
England put on a "New Deal" that IS a New Deal. There
is scarcely a factor in its economic, social or industrial life that
hasn't been transformed since the world war. It has no dictator
ship, but it is perhaps the most SELF-rcgimcnted country in
the world today.
The government has something to say about practically
everything the English citizen does or tries to do, and while
the average resident over there may not. like it, he does "take"
it, or so, from this distance, it appears.
sees
PO the' next time some lugubrious Wiseman, pulls the old
J wheeze about England regaining her prosperity without any
New Deal, tell him either to look up the record, or go fry an agg.
The most radical and comprehensive "New Deal" in exis
tence, is functioning, in that tight little isle on the other side
of the Atlantic, today.'

As a regular contributor to th radical New Republic, he has
been a persistent and scathing critic of the old deal and its
financial practices. He was among the first to call attention to
the iniquities of the Insnll set-up. Testifying before the senate
committee many of his suggestions were followed in framing
the administration's Security Act, and forcing a Xew Deal on
Wall Street.
When Mr. Flynn, therefore, has anything GOOD to say for
Big Business, like the dog-biting man, it qualifies as news. And
from such a source, the justification for approval, can't be ques
tioned. The article of commendation appears in the current Rotary
magazine :
"In the first plAce," writes Mr. Flynn, "the univer
sal disaster which has shaken the world has brought us
face to face with our imperfections. Business men have
seen with appalling disillusionment the relation be
tween our economic collapse and our bad ethics. Certain
unethical banking and investment practices of pro-crash
days, have been discarded and banned in financial
circles, and in their place have arisen new theories and
standards, brought about, by the pressure of public
opinion, and adopted willingly by bankers.
"In the meantime, some progress has been made in
consolidating into United States law the ga'ns in public
opinion upon these important ethical relationships. To
name but a few of these;
"1. The new banking act makes it impossible for
investment bankers to take part in the direction of
commercial banks, savings banks or trust companies.
These security merchants have no right to help direct
those great financial institutions which buy and lend
on their merchandise.
"2. Certain forms of banking affiliates have been
outlawed. It was through these affiliates that bank of
ficials managed to evade banking laws; as well as the
laws of Moses, which are somewhat more fundamental.
"3. Holding companies have been brought under
the dominion of national bank examiners. The aim of
this is to do away with that secrecy behind which bank
ers could do many things which would not live under
the spotlight of scrutiny.
"There is much more. But what is important about
all these laws is that they constitute a kind of now
ethical code which has the approval and support of the
entire nation. We had to have a general lift in the
moral understanding of the whole people to get such
laws passed.'
When a Big Business "hr.ter", like John T. Flynn can see
the depression has taught American business lesson, and the
moral tone of the iuJuMrial and financial world has been raised
as a result of Roosevelt's New Peal, there must have been a
marked change for the better, indeed.
Which is all to the good, for it justifies a slowing down of
the reformatory movement on the part of the administration
and a speeding up of the movement f0r rceoverv.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
XHE most Interesting Item In the
newt of the day these words are
written:
Dr. John F. Condon declares under
oath that the mysterious "John" who
negotiated and received the Lindbergh
ransom of $50,000 is Bruno Richard
Hauptmann.
rvTD Hauptmann abduct and slay
the Lindbergh babyt
There is as yet no direct proof that
he did, but if this writer were a mem
ber of the Flemlngton Jury he would
have little difficulty in arriving at
verdict.
Hauptmann had In his possession,
carefully hidden, large sums of the
ransom money, which Indicates that
if he didn't do the actual kidnaping
himself he knew and had an under
standing with the one who did. which
makes htm guilty enough to hang.
A BUILDING contractor said to
"I'm paying eight per cent for the
money I'm using. I need six per cent
money, and I can give what in normr.1
times would be regarded as good
security for the repayment of the
loan.
"But. in spite of the fact that I
know any number of people who hav
money lying In the savings bank at
two and a half per cent, I can't get a
six per cent loan."
WHY not? Why do people who have
mnnat nrfr tn Innva If In tViA
savings banks at low interest to lend
ing It on what In normal times would
be regarded as good security at a
much higher rate of Interest?
The answer Is as plain as the nose
on your face because they are afraid
that if they lend their money they
won't get It back.
That is the whole story.
WHY are people who have money
atraA tit IsnH If 9
Well, most of them don't put their
fears Into words, because open ex
pression of lack of confidence in the
future Isn't popular, but If you were
to ask them and they were to answer
truthfully, they would probably tell
you something like this:
Our government Is experimenting
on a vast scale with theories that run
contrary to the facts developed In the
hard school of business experience. If
these theories don't work out, busi
ness will be adversely affected.
"Before I lend my money and so
take the risk of losin? it, or a con
siderable part of It, I'm going to wait
and see whether or not these theories
work.'
JpXPERIMENTS, of course, are noth-
matter of fact most of the progress
we have made has come about as the
result of SUCCESSFUL experiments.
The founding of the government of
the United States, with it, then
strange theory that government exists
for the benefit of the governed, rather
than for the benefit of those doing
the governing, was in itaelf an experi
ment on a comparatively vast scale.
and it was regarded wlt'.i the utmost
keptlcism In Europe,
But It WORKED.
THERE Is, however, this difference:
States, with its wlsety considered
checks and balances, was founded cn
sound economics, whereas much of
the experimenting we are now doing
on so vast a scale Is founded on un
sound economic premises, such as
that we can vote prosperity or that
we can spend ourselves rich.
That Is why people are afraid of It.

Farmer Bills' Speech
To the Editor:
This writer attended the meeting
of the Townsend club at the county
court houv on Friday evening to
hear "Farmer Bill from the Apple
gate" discuss the negative Ride of the
Townsend old age pension plan.

Having lived In this county for nearly
eight years, this writer has read var
ious and sundry article wrl'ten by
the aforesaid Farmer B: ! and printed
tin the Med ford Mall lrlbuns and.
he had the desire when the oppor
tunity was offered to hea- tins 'r:i
I fed" orator, tand see him on, the
hoof, and as it was widely acclaimed
; in the newspapers that ht would
show hit oratorical ability on the
said evening, the writer took stand
ing room in the court house along
with many others.
After the .mlnu.es of the previous
meeting were read and other func
tions of the club finished, the presi
dent of the club Introduced Farmer
Bill. He first explained to his audi
ence that he was Just plain Farmer
Bill and that therefore they would
excuse his appearance. He then pro
ceeded upon his mission which was
to prove to the members of this
club that their Ideas were all wrong.
He told his audience that this meet
ing reminded him of meetings In
this same room of the Good Govern
ment congress. He implied that it was
a political meeting and Informed
them that all elections were over
for two years and asked "How Come?"
He talked of the J. C. Barnes shel
ter tax plan; he walked the floor and
with his hands, played with whatever
he had In his pockets. He read, with
the assistance of the secretary of the
club, the proposal of Gram for an old
age pension. He talked about when
Wallace was here last June and how
he was paying the farmers to not
raise hogs so the price would go up.
He endeavored to quote the Bible, but
one thing he did not talk about was
the Townsend old age pension plan.
Alter taking up the time of his
audience for about an hour he quit
in a huff, saying that he wac heck
ledthe said heckling being when
he asked what success Wallace had
in his hog reduction plan. Someone
in the audience who knew hogs ans
wered the question by saying that
hogs were quoted at 4.50 per hun
dred when Wallace was here tn June
and at this time were worth $8.50
per hundred. Next when he endeav
ored to quote the Bible some min
ister of the Gospel set him right.
The plain fact of the matter Is
that Farmer Bill was up against It
from the start. Ho had Just as well
have gone to a Rotary meeting and
told them that their "wheel" did
not go round, or to a Lions club
meeting snd tell them that their
