PAGE EIGHT Opponents of Roosevelt Advised to Quit Balking Get In Step With Times Professor of Political Economy Asserts Social Alterations Are Inevitable London, Backers Lack Vision CAMBRIDGE, Mau., Not. 18, (p) William Z. Ripley, professor emer itus of political economy at Harvard, averted today In talking with news papermen that It was time for opponent ot President Roosevelt to "quit obstructing, quit grousing," and help In making "Inevitable" social alter- ' atlons. "Great changes ere talcing place." aid Professor Ripley, whose volume entitled "Main Street and Wall Street" attracted vide attention ten years ago, and to the Influence of which some quarters have attributed establishment of the securities and exchange commission. Need of Change Neen "Some are material, others are spir itual. The president sensed the feel ing among the workers that they had left their affairs too long In the bands of the bankers, the lawyers and the heavily propertied classes." In granting an Interview, Professor Ripley aald he considered the tlmo "appropriate," because he believed "many of those who opposed Pres ident Roosevelt did not realize the weakness of his opponent." Explaining he wished his remarks to be received as a "message from the liberal east to the liberal weat," Pro fessor Ripley continued; O. O. P. Lacking In Vision "Governor Landon, his backers, and those who 'took a walk.' from tho president lacked the vision to see what .was going on In the worker's mind. "In this civilization, ownership of property used to, and should, curry with It a responsibility to other men. The Krcugors, the Insulls, tha Van ftwerlngens, the bankers and the big corporate husbandmen Ignored that reKponslbllltY,and they came to grief. "The election can be Interpreted as n expression of the resentment of the laboring man and the white collar, worker to this disproportionate exercise of power over their lives. Six teen million middle class Investors felt that they had been sold out. They expressed their resentment, and their Approval of those who were helping them, at the polls." For thirty years. Professor Ripley taught labor problems at Harvard and during the war he was In charge of labor relations in war department contracts. For two yenra he was neu tral chairman of the national Adjust ment commission which handled a long dispute between ship owners and longshoremen. He also wrote a major portion of tho report on which tho eight-hour law for railroads la bawd Presidents Hlilestrp During the Coolldge and Hoover administrations, he an Id, ho tried to convince those president of the real. lty of problems which were not fnced until President was elected. But Ooolldge, he said, "was too cautious and leay" to act, and Hoover sfrald his party "would not stand for tho things which must be done." - 'Tho great lndnstrlnllaU bolleve," he said, "that because they pay good wages when they do pay good wages and because they build swimming pools and recreation halls, they are going to Sfttlsiy tho workers. When they offer wage Increases, as the steel Industry and others now ire doing, they are trying to buy contentment among their workers. "But that is not what the workers wont. They want a voice In the fix ing or the wait ps for which they work, and the conditions under which they work. They wsnt a status of equality With the boss upon which these mat. ters can be discussed. That Is true collective bsrpnlntrw." Ilellevm Unit Rich! Professor Ripley said he believed : John I.

I. O. unions to re fuse offers of wage Increases and to continue demands for collective bargaining. Conceding the supreme court now constituted may resist social change in some Instances, he said: "Providence will take care of that. Change cannot be resisted for ever. The constitution is a democratic mon ument, but unlike most monuments, It" cannot Just stand It must be made to go. "When the great middle class real Izes that the securities and exchange law and the public utility sets are tho first protection they have had against repetition of the stock man ipulation which brought on the crash of 1929, they are going to support this administration, Instead of hat ing its leader." 4 1 TO SPEAK THURSDAY AT NORMAL Julian B.

Bis biography by Cecil Caraes wa pub lished, with the modest sub-title of "Leader of Labor," but It contained such phrases aa these: "He would like to be president ... he Is an orator to match Bryan, an ego aa nicely bal anced as that of Mussolini . , . His Americanism Is truer than Hearst's . .. He has the charnyof Roosevelt and the dash of the late Huey Long ..." Governor Phil's biography, when published, will not match this one. but his strategical position la better. He has the contacts here In the sen ate and In the New Deal which may bring him forward within tho next few years. Lewis Is all labor and would have a hard time getting the farmer lalf of a farmer-labor party, but La PotleUe- can get the farmer hnlf and possibly labor, also. The New Dealers are watching this situation more closely than you know, The A. F. of L. executive council Is suggesting a constitutional amend ment, if necessary, to preserve social security. Tills makes three constitu tional amendments now Involved in serious discussion, NRA, AAA and 88. It also makes clear what many a presidential counselor has begun to suspect about any constitutional amendments. The trouble Is not where to start them, but where to stop them If they are ever started. Sportsmen consider It bad business to make up the rules of their games as they go along. A changed rule may become Immediately desirable to meet a particular situation In a par ticular game, but If you start thnt, everyone concedes you will ruin the game In the end. In rules for gov ernment, the consequences are likely to be more unsatisfactory, A better method in government, sport or Individual living Is to re adjust your plans to accomplish your alms without changing the rules. This may explain why Mr. Roosevelt Is reported to be (a) not listening particularly closely to John Lewis, who wants a constitutional NRA amendment, fb) shying away from the Edward O'Neal suggestion of an AAA constitutional amendment, and (C) unimpressed by the A. F. of L. suggestion of an 88 amendment, "If necessary.

WEDNESDAY. CHAMBER'S PLAN SURPLUSTURKS (Continued :rom page One.) terday Immediately thought of new angles that could be developed. A. S. Rosenbaum, passenger agent ot the Southern Pacific, suggested that tur keys could be sent now as gifts to friends living in other parts of the country. He himself, it was learned, yesterday bought five turkeys and sent them to friends In Portland and San Francisco. It la understood the birds can be sent as far as New York without any special wrapping or handling and if sent now they will reach distant point in tlmo for Thanksgiving. The chamber announc cd that others also had planned to send turkeys to friends. Another suggestion made today was that service clubs and church socle ties serve turkey at any dinners they are to hold before Thanksgiving. The chamber approved the suggestion and announced all service clubs would be asked to have turkey served at their lunches and dinners next week. It was pointed out that church and other societies holding public dinners In the next two weeks could create good -will and thus procure Increased support by serving turkey. In this way aid would be given to a worthy cause, chamber officials said. - TALK, MUSIC PROGRAM BY DINNER-DANCE IS SET A talk on salesmanship was given at the weekly dinner-meeting of the Active club In the Hotel Medford last night by G. C. Briggs, sales manager here for the Standard OH company of California. Mr. Briggs traced the evolution of merchandising and described how salesmanship contributes to general progress.
