Truths Pondered While
"Then gently scan
your brother man"
By Mr. Modestus-
Eat what you can—
What you can't eat, you can—
Or, as the Britisher told the joke—
You eat all that you want—
And what is left over you tin, ha!—
But all that is principally done in
the United States—
For we do 79 per cent of all the
canning done in the world—
Shipping to the rest of the world
only one-seventh—
Which amounts to 7,800,000 cases
of canned goods—
Distributed in other countries, in
1937—
Your great-grandmother—
Taught her daughters how to "put
down" preserves—
In crocks, and cups, and jars—
Making apple-butter, such as you
never tasted—
Marmalades, and quince preserves
long forgotten—
Candied rinds of melons, and peel
ings of oranges—
But glass tfati toO expensive in
those days—
Until Mason glass cans, and Ball
Jars—

nineteenth century—

make tin cans, cheaply—
Somebody else found the processes
for cooking and curing—
While all together worked on the
problem of preventing ferment—
Until canneries spread all over the
map—
Stimulating gardeners to raise to
matoes by the acre—

Got themselves into cans by the

Aiding in the growing and preserv

Why Americans are able to live

As well as affording a safe and

tell th# truth
about many things, sometimes pro
foundly. Sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly
More about dictators.
The total of human happiness is
the sum of our ability to preserve
our own individuality while making
wise concessions necessary in rela
tions with others. The substitution
of mutuality for unrestricted freedom.
The primeval savage had no re
strictions whatever on his freedom.
But he did not have much of any
thing else.
The first time two families tried
the experiment of living together in
the same cave, concessions and ar
rangements and reservations became
necessary. And this continued as the
communities grew from groups to
tribes and tribes to nations.
In our democracy, the evolution has
been startlingly rapid. The pioneer
shot his meat and planted his crops
without restraint. When restraint
irked, he just packed up and went
elsewhere. On a road that he made
himself. Daniel Boone moved from
his beloved Kentucky to Missouri be
cause the congestion of population
had arisen to the smothering figure of
five to the square mile.
Now, for our own comfort and pro
tection, we cannot cross a street ex
cept under rules established by those
to whom we have delegated the man
agement of the necessary part of our
liberties.
And right there, in the wisdom with
which we delegate control and to
whom, is the problem of the best
government.
Democracy is the best government.
For the simple fact is that the human
race has tried every other form, from
absolute despotism to anarchy, and
found them all wanting in the final
test. This test is how the people fare
under them.
Democracies are slow. They are
just as wise or stupid as are the mass
minds of their citizens. But, in the
long run, they do give to the people
what they want. And not what some
one else decides they want or should
want.
And if we blunder, we can "cuss
out" each other and do better next
time.
If the executives we hire as man
agers blunder, we can change them
for someone else. Maybe better.
Maybe worse. But the one we col
lectively decide upon.

BUSINESS MUST AID
IN SOLVING PROBLEM
Atlantic City, N. J. (ILNS).—Un
employment is as much the problem
of business as of the government,
Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney of
Wyoming, chairman of the temporary
national economic committee, told the
National Petroleum Association in
convention here.
He said that although American
industry had done "remarkably well"
in approaching the unemployment
problem, it still "had not done
enough." If business and industry
do not join in solving that problem,
he said, the government "goes broke."
"I freely confess," he said, "that
we on the committee are lacking in
experience and ability for our jobs.
But we unite in a desire to serve busi
ness. We're not looking for victims,
nor is the Department of Justice in
its anti-trust investigation. We're
looking for a way out. We need it.
Look overseas. Europe is bankrupt,
starting a new war with the last one
not paid for and our own country has
piled up a $40,000,000,000 debt."
And, in the ability to blunder and
learn, in the old process of trial and
error, lies the hope of human progress.
On the contrary, delegation of too
much power, its surrender so com
pletely that we cannot take it back,
means that we have lost our power of
thinking, of decision, of racially grow
ing wisdom. Until a generation or
two are on the road to become col
lective "yes-men," syncophants and
robots.
One-man may decide one question
better than 120,000,000 may.
On the other hand, he will blunder
more completely and disasterously.
And when the people blunder, all
the people suffer.
But, when the dictator blunders, the
people do the suffering.
And they have no redress.- Unless
someone shoots the dictator or he
dies. Our's is the best government
in the history of the world because
we hire the managers of our public
business for stated terms. And, when
these contracts expire, they have to
renew their contract, if they and we
want to, on the basis of performance.
Just like your church. Or your
village, or any firm of business you
may be so fortunate as to have an
interest in.
Because democracies are slow, they
must delegate more power in emer
gencies, which need quick action.
But we are safe as long as we know
what we are doing. That we are
dealing with temporary conditions by
temporary expedients.
And that we must retain the power
and the agencies through which we
can take back our rights of self-man
agement when the emergency has
passed.
And wise ones have said that the
enslavement of people who hold fast
to the free ballot is impossible. It
looks that way, doesn't it?
And right there is the differ
ence between a democracy and a
dictatorship. In the first, the
people have retained the say-so.
They have the power to-give or
to withhold. And they give or
withhold as conditions dictate.
A dictatorship is a democracy gone
wild. By force or persuasion, the
people have been fooled into giving
up all their power, even the machin
ery for regaining that power.
And so they are marching up to
the machine guns in Europe, in the
hands of other puzzled and frightened
fellow beings, because they are more
afraid of the machine guns that their
master has than they are of those of
the enemy he has selected. And they
will only be free again when the fears
are reversed.

Reds Deceived Labor,
Leon Trotsky Charges
Mexico City (ILNS).—Leon Trot
sky, exiled former Russian Soviet
war commissar, denounced Russia's
invasion of Poland as "shameful and
criminal" and a betrayal of world la
bor. He declared here it was appar
ent that while Russia was discussing
with France and Britain the "military
defense of Poland," she was studying
"with representatives of the German
general staff the question of the de
struction and repartition of Poland."
The Kremlin, he charged, deceived
not only England, France and Poland
but "it deceived systematically the
toiling masses of the Soviet Union
and the entire world."

FRENCH WORKERS
CONDEMN SOVIET
Paris (ILNS). French organized
labor is on record with a denunciation
of the Russian Soviet invasion of Po
land as aid to an aggressor and "en
dangering the lives of millions of
workers."
The Russian invasion was denounced
in a resolution signed by Leon Jou
haux, secretary-general, and other
chief officers of the French Confed
eration of Labor. No further col
laboration is possible with the French
Communist minority within the or
ganization, the resolution says. It
calls upon labor to stand shoulder to
shoulder in condemning the Soviet
action for the sake of honor, moral
ity and the human solidarity under
lying the labor movement.
