A MILLION DOLLARS UNCLAIMED The general idea is that people are very selfish and the presumption is that men and women keep up with their money. However, in the liquida tion of a large bank, depositors en titled to almost $1,000,000 have not come forward to claim their dividends. It seems that of 40,000 persons en titled to payments something like 35,000 checks have been returned as undeliverable. NOT UNIVERSAL Freedom of the press as it is un derstood in the United States is not in existence in many countries. The latest evidence of this comes from Ecuador, where the director of a newspaper has been forced to re sign, because of the publication of a cartoon that offended the dignity of the army. Moreover, the journal was compelled to print an apology filled with fulsome praise of the soldiers. There are citizens of the United States who would like to have, some restrictions upon the press here. They become incensed at things published and jump to the conclusion that there ought to be a way to stop such practices. In fact, there is: Quit supportng the publication by subscrip tions and advertising. This remedy is better than censor ship and control because it does not injure the right of the press to spend freely on almost all subjects. Without free speech there can be no certainty that the public will hear the truth and without complete in formation the success of democratic government will be questionable. WHAT? NO MAN FORM MARS? ' I Everybody has heard about the | man from Mars but nobody has ever) seen one and now come the astrono mers from their huge telescopes to tell us that there is no water vapor present on the neighboring pianet i and hence no human beings alike to the so-called human race. This ought to end the long debate over the "canals" on Mars because without water there would be no canals as we understand them and no animals and plants of the types ^hat exist here. W However, the average imagination, I that life exists on Mars, will not ftp. Maybe, there is another ?f life on Mars that requires no nnd the canals may serve somfe. le not understood.

The welfare of our high society should be given due consideration in determining the policies of business and finance. Chairman Arthur E. Morgan, of the Tennessee Valley Authority, recent ly said: p "Civilization can be mined and ex hausted, or cultivated and harvested. There can be no stable society, no stable government, no stable civiliza tion, except as we see other factors than income, or prestige or power as controls of our nations. . . . "American business is too far flung, too coifcplex, to rely upon clever shrewdness to sustain it. We cannot prosper so well if we with draw half our energies from produc tion and spend them nonproductively in watching each other or in con flict" BEGINS ON THIRD SET v Petersburg, W.

The President and his supporters view the Dili as a rational and con stitutional method of preventing an ultra-conservative court from thwart ing the will of the people as express ed in general elections. The oppon ents look upon the measure as a scheme to pack the Court and to establish a dangerous precedent which could lead to the complete overthrow of the democratic processes of our government. There is much argument to be had on both sides and much bad feeling to be aroused. Undoubtedly, the fight will leave bitter feelings and some in curable sores within the Democratic ranks. That such a result follows an honest difference of opinion between sincere servants of the government is a matter of regret but apparently, unavoidable in view of the nature of human beings. Discussing the national debt, Presi dent Roosevelt last week pointed out that while the gross debt on July 1st was, in round figures, $36,400,000,000, this sum included $1,050,000,000 of sterlized gold, an increase of $500, 000,000 in the veterans1 insurance fund caused by payment of the bonus, $265*000,000 in the old age pension reserve fund, and $200,000,000 in the unemployment insurance trust fund. Except for these four items, the President says that the national debt has stood still since December 22, 1936. Replying to a question, the Chief Executive stated that recovera ble assets, represented by govern ment loans, were about $4,000,000, 000 and that about $11,000,000,000 of foreign debts are not included in the recoverable assets. > While President Roosevelt is gen erally regarded as being in sympathy with the general objectives of the la bor unions, he has suggested several times that some legislation will be necessary to protect the interests of the public in the face of conflicts be tween labor and capital. This atti tude was reflected again recently when, for the first tiime since the steel strike began, the President voic ed an indirect criticism of extremists on both sides, saying he believed the country as a whole was thinking of the strike, "a plague on both your houses." Undoubtedly this Shake spearian quotation aptly describes growing public sentiment. So far as this observer has been able to judge, public sentiment was largely on the side of the strikers as the steel struggle began. This view, was strengthened by the stiff-necked attitude of Tom Girdler, of the Re public Steel Corporation and the spokesman for the steel companies. Seme sympathy was also aroused by the Memorial Day massacre of labor sympathizers by the Chicago police. However, as the labor forces began to use force, with an implied threat against other workmen, the trend of public opinion has turned the other way and this shift was accelecated by the dynamiting of the water mains following the reopening of the Cam bria plant of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. The basic conflict in the steel situa tion is the "organizing" of the work ers. This question supersedes the issue of a signed contract. Labor leaders are attempting to unionize the workers and the effort to force shutdowns of the plants was intended to speed up the unionization drive. The steel companies are not primari ly concerned with contracts but with whether their workers will" be or ganized by the C. L O. V Some people have wondered why the National Labor Relations Board has not ordered an election. The answer is that the Wagner Act places the Governmenf of the Unted States on record in favor of the general principle of organization of labor and the N. L. E. B. was set up. to encourage labor organization and not' to be a balance between employer and worker. In other words, the Board is set up to carry out the policy of organization and, because of this, has established a rule not to call an election unless requested to do so by a union or by workers. In the present instance, the union, attempting to organize by securing don dispatches reflect the British mind on the subject, mainly to the effect that such an arfangement. would mean concessions to the United States, it is apparent that labor trou-J bles and the prospect of the enact-, ment of the Black-Connery wagds and hours bill, are leading American busi ness men to the conclusion that the cost of production here will increase and that industry will need more rather than less tariff protection, the support of a majority of the work ers, does not want an election until it is reasonably certan it will win. In fact, the Labor Board has two major functions: to disclose and pro hibit practices by employers which impede the process of unionization and to force employers to deal with the union representatives once the process of organisation is completed. Essentially, the Board is pro-labor, and a strike is not its direct concern. One r ilii TmuiT^ the viair to ^ FT. T* . ' .- ? ? .
