During the years that the Un
ited States and Canada were ne
gotiating respecting the building
of the Thousand Islands bridges
and connecting high-ways, those
concerned thought no ip-ore than
that they were providing an easy
means orf travel between shores
live miles or so apart.-. They did
not think that they were laying
the foundations of an internotion
ol incident. Mr. Roosevelt's re
marks at Kingston started some
thing that was not expected.
lilt is said that while the Presi
dent was in the Dominion, he
joked about- the Supreme Court,
asked foreigners to aid in crip
pling the business enterprise of
the United Statess and pledged
this country to a continued med
diing in affairs with which it has
no proper concern. The oppos
ing view is that if the United
States is being imposed upon by
big business, the World is en
titled to be warned against a like
fate, that socializing of industry
for the common good can be brot
about best by international co
operation, and that at any time
and in any place it is in order to
give dictators to understand that
the North American and South
American continents are not to
become a home ground for their
operations.
Mr. Farley says that “one of
the most important economic
problems that confronts our coun
try today is to arrest -the ever
increasing migration from the
rural districts into urban cen
ters." Almost two hundred years
ago, a thoughtful Englishman
had the same notion;,
"If to the city sped, what
waits him there?
To see profusion that he
must not share;
To see ten thousand baneful
arts combined
To pamper luxury and thin
mankind;
To see those joys the sons
of pleasure know,
Extorted from his fellow
creature’s woe.”
It is to be feared that it will
take more than Mr. Farley or
Oliver Goldsmith to talk away
the attraction of the bright lights.
The converse remedy, getting the
city man to move to the country,
! will have to be administered by
| a doctor more persuasive than

either of the gentlemen quoted.
An outline of what Congress
will attempt at its next session
would be of general interest and
of particular interest to the leg
islators themselves, but it would
take the wisdom of Salomon,
modified by the chances that go
with throwing dice, to prepare
such a forecast. It appears that
the plan of spending and lending
may be modified somewhat, in
favor of a move to choke mono
poly and give business an oppor
tunity to expand.
Business, by the way, and ac
cording to the Department of
Commerce is showing up a little,
but other sources of information
promise steps in the direction of
recovery, promoted by the oper
ation of the Wages and Hours
Laws and good growing weather
throughout the land. Substantial
grants of funds by the W. P. A.
continue, and are relied upon to
keep things going in some in
stances, and to start things going
in others.
In addition to anti-monopoly
legislation, an overhauling of
election laws seems certain, with
the probability of long and bitter
debate. These two matters rise
prominently as work-making cer
tainties on Capitol Hill. As to
others, a patient world will have
to wait the outcome of events.
