Perhaps the most important
item dealing with White House
affairs is the report that the
President inclines less toward
government spending and more
toward putting business on its,
feet through various measures,
not the Least of which is a reduc
tion in taxes which business has
condemned as a bar to progress.
To the Republican, that is a reces
sion from a position definitely
taken. To the Democrat is a step
forward, wherein governmental
action is adapted to changing
times. So long as business is put
on a sound basis, the general run j
of men will not concern themsel-'
.yes much with the underlying
facts. If there is a genuine re
turn of good times, good times
alone will be considered by the
majority. The politicians will be1
left to make the mud halls and
throw them.
Congress has received a report
from the United States Maritime
Commission to the effect that the
merchant marine is in a bad way
and that something must be done
about it; a statement which can
be backed up by the simplest sort
of figures. For example England
and her dominions launched 215
vessels in 1935 as against 14 for
the United States. For 15 years,
American shipping has been prac
tically living off its subsidies, a
condition which obviously is not
sound. It is not merely a ques
tion of more ships, however, but
of training sailors and avoiding
labor troubles after the sailors
are trained. For the one need, it
is proposed to have the Coast
Guard serve as a nautical school,
and for the other a board of med
iation between ship owners and
seamen is needed and proposed.
With all that Congress has before
it. time may be available for re
storing an enterprise for which
the United States once was noted.
Ramsay MacDonald, Prime
Minister of Great Britain for a
period after the great war, dies
suddenly at sea. His achieve
ments in office concern the Brit
ish chiefly, but he will be recalled
as one of England's great Prime
Ministers and as an official visit
or to the United States on more
than one occasion, for conferen
ces about matters of mutual im
portance to the land whence he
came and the country where he
arrived as a visitor. His appeal
10 Americans will be mainly on
the human side. It will be re
membered that he started work
at about $8.00 per week, often
knocked about London with scar
cely the price of a meal in his
pocket, and received frequent set
backs after his upward climb
had really begun. From all this
he emerged as one of England's
great men of the time. That re
called. there is no occasion for an
analysis of the intricate political
events in which he played an im
portant part. The United States
will speak kindly of him in death
as it honored and respected him
when alive and at the apex of his
career.
The Chinese defending Shang
hai have been reduced to 6000
and are said to be determined to
obey orders and die fighting, whi
ch may afford occasion for some
future Chinese Tennyson to write
a proem having the general tone
of the Charge of the Light Bri
gade. On the other hand, they
may find some way out and may
skip to safety in which event
they still will have a poet’s sup
