FAR FROM SETTLED
Although much has been said and
written about a proposed* settlement
of the Smith Reynolds case through
the establishment of a huge Rey
nolds endowment in which- other
members of the Reynolds family
might join, the case is far from be
ing settled, it was announced Sun
day,
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
WASHINGTON . . one industry
I was in Washington for a few
| days recently, and what impressel
me most was the utter Ignorance of
the people of Washington about what
j is going on the rest of the world.
Building industry is booming, con-
I structing new Government buildings.
Government employees are working
every day, yelping mildly about a
small reduction in salaries. Streets
| are crowded with cars, driven with
! the utmost recklessness and most in
j efficient traffic regulations. Stores
| are doing as good business as ever,
lat prices much higher than in New
j York. Rents are almost up to the
highest level.
Washington has but one industry,
the Government of the United States,
j It is so detached from the rest of the
! country that it might as weil be in
| some other nation. It is difficult for
' the men who run the government to
j realize how bad conditions are else-
I where, when they see evidence all,
! around them of great prosperity. I
I have long believed that it was a ;
j serious mistake to locate the seat of i
' government away from the center ofj
business and industrial activity. If,
I could do it, I would move the Capi-1
tol and the White House to Chicago
which is where they ought to be if
they are really to represent the
American people effectively.
LAND .... safest investment
In spite of the fact that many >
owners of real estate have suffered !
great losses in the past few years,
land remains the safest, soundest in- I
vestment in the long run. The sup-!
ply is limited, for one thing. In
creasing population means increas
ing demand for land. Every baby
born on Manhattan Island increases
the value of the Woolworth building. !
The time to buy land is now. Dol
lars are high now; they will be
much cheaper shortly. Land is cheap
now; it will be much higher before
long. The time to buy anything is
when everybody else wants to sell.
If you own land, Jiold on to if
you have dollars, buy land with them
for safety!
Don't speculate in land! Pay for
it and hold it. Don't speculate in
anything on which you can't always
realize something at a moment's no
tice. You can't move land around;
you must wait until someone wants
that piece at that spot. So buy
lahd intelligently, in the path of |
the movement of population. Re-,
gard it as an investment for your
children rather than as a way to
make yourself rich over night.
The world's greatest and most en
during fortunes have been made by
buying land and holding on to it.
EDUCATION ... learn to work
My friend Walter Lippman, who
also writes a column and, ©uriously
enough, picked the same title for it
as this column of mine, wrote some
thing recently which seems to me the
best statement of its kind I haveever
seen:
"The truly educative process,"
said Lippman, "consists in learning
to deal with reality, that is to say
with people and objects and events
that are not the mere projection of
one's own wishes. Education is a
matter of putting away childish
things, of discovering that events do
not respond to words, of learning
that the world is not in us but that
we are in the world."
Most of us live in a world of
"wlßhful thinking." We'd like to be
rich, and we dream of what -we
would do if we were rich, but we
aren't willing to take all the trouble
and worry on Ourselves that anyone
must take if he is to attain riches.
Education, as Mr. Lippman points
out, ought to teach youth that it
must work for what it gets.
Too many young people grow up
these days with the idea that the
world owes them a living. The world
owes nobody anything for which he
does not give a commensurate re
turn in labor of one sort or another.
?
COMPETITION . . . new order
For a great many years the United
States has been committed to the
principle that free competition in
business and industry is, in the long
run, the beat way to get ahead. Vv«
set up anti-trust laws to prevent
combinations and insure competi
tion.
Everyone who has given the mat
ter even a little thought realizes that
the anti-trust laws have not worked
as they were expected to. Compe
tition has proved ruinous in many
industries; In the soft coal industry,
for example, where the owner of a
coal mine had to work it himself if
he was to get anything out of it at
all, instead of combining with other
mine-owners to produce only as
much as the market would absorb
and all share the profit.
All the signs point to the discard
ing of all regulations prohibiting
trade combinations and the establish
ment under Government supervision
! of groups and sssociatidns of manu
: facturers and producers to fix prices
and determine all other trade condi
tions.
That is, of course, going to make
it harder for the ordinary man to
get himself established in a compe
titive business or industry. It will
result in the best men becoming em
ployees instead of independent busi
ness men and the less than best
dropping out of sight in the mass
of humanity. That may be better
for the social order, if we conceive
that to be a systsm under which all
numaaity will eventually occupy the
same plane of activity and income,
but I greatly fear that when we take
any steps to strifle the initiative of
the individual and to limit his op
portunities we will be abandoning
tne fundamental principle that has
made America what it is.
