(Continued from Page 6) week for a short radio address. He declined saying: "John Garner is not worth any part of one thousand a week and the Vice-Presidency of the United States is not for sale." George Washington would have loved him for that. And isn't he different?

There ARE both cheerful and uncheerful things coming out of Washington. It is apparent that the wage and hour bill vvill not pass. The pressure of the administration that was behind it, has apparently been withdrawn. That cheers business somewhat. The new tax bill before Congress, however, is nothing like business had hoped for. It is more of a gesture than a real help to business. The government reorganization bill as it now stands has been considerably modified from its administration form, but would still give business cold chills if it passed. It would give the chief executive life and death powers over the Federal Trade Commission and all such federal agencies. It would NOT be a money saver; would increase present expenses, in fact. But it is likely to go through.

Two amazing things happened in Congress recently. Two outstanding citizens crashed the headlines with their testimony before Congressional committees, Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch, both close friends and supposed advisers of the President. Baruch told the Committee that he was forced to admit that government policies were responsible for the present business slump. And Kennedy, just appointed to the Court of St. James, fairly fayed Madame Perkins regarding labor. "Time" magazine reported that his remarks on the subject were "hardly printable." He was opposing her attitude toward labor conditions on American ships. He is knorwn to have remarked at one time that he wouldn't let one of his family sail on an American ship because of the labor situation in the maritime unions. And he was the highly respected Chairman of the Maritime Commission when he said it.

As Mr. Roosevelt's close friend and most trusted lieutenant, this flare-up of Kennedy's was sensational. Business generally has withheld its opinion of Madame Perkins largely because of her sex, but Mr. Kennedy voiced its opinion very nicely.

Baruch made many suggestions for ending the present business slump, and then said: "Of course, all this depends on our national policy. If it remains what recently it has appeared to be, there is no hope for re-employment and substantial recovery. If it could be changed I believe that we would have a rapid and immediate rise in all economic indexes. I say with regret, but I would be less than candid if I failed to express my opinion that unemployment now to anything that business could or should do."

B. C. Forbes, business student, in a speech to the University of Georgia, called the attention of the world to the accomplishments of the United States during the "hgrse and buggy" days that were so much vilified in recent years. He said: "America became the most wealthy, the most prosperous nation on the face of the earth. Our standards of living became the envy of the world. Americans became owners of 8O per cent of the world's motor cars, 6O per cent of the world's telephones, and most of the world's radios. Americans rolled up savings of. 24,500 million dollars, owned by 44,500,00O depositors, representing one and one-half savings accounts for each family in the country. No fewer than 64,000,000 Americans were able to purchase life insurance protection to the amount of $110,00O,000,fi)O. We accumulated two-thirds of civilization's banking resources, and about half of the world's gold. The purchasing polver of our 130 million people became greater than that of the 500 million inhabitants of Europe. Nowhere else on earth were so many families able to send their children to college. We convey no fewer than three million children to school in busses daily. The rank and file of Americans are able to indulge in more home and foreign travel than any other nationals on the face of the globe. Daily, 12,500,000 people attend the movies. More Americans own homes than any other nationality. Not only do 100 million Americans live in electrically-lighted homes, but such commonplace comforts as domestic refrigeration, washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other home labor-saving devices are beyond the reach of ordinary families throughout the rest of the world. The working classes here have the greatest average income of any people, work the shortest hours, wear better clothes and eat better food than the inhabitants of any other country." ***

Yes, Sir, this was the most prosperous country on earth when the depression of '29 came along. The laboring classes in this country were better fixed than the middle classes of other countries. Boy, but those horse and buggy days were good days ! I am praying hopefully for their return.

Uses Editorial In Sermon

If you have any extra copies of your February 15 issue, please send me one. Check for $0.25 enclosed. Mr. Dionne's editorial was so interesting that I showed it to a preacher friend, who used it in his next sermon, and then did not return it to me. I don't blame him.
