HISTORY IN CRISISES
Henry Ford says he does not believe in history.
There were Fords in 1837, who did not analyze the causes
and effects of the panic of 1819. Again we find Fords
emerging luminously in 1929-30. On each of these occa
sions the nation engaged in an orgy of stock exchange
speculation. Dealing w4th the panic of 1837, the New
York Journal of Commerce said:
. . . It will be remembered, we trust, as the crisis of the
great financial troubles which have been gathering for more
than a year, from the combined influence of speculation, the
surplus revenue, bad government, and so on.
“. ... By a concerted movement between the United States
Bank and our local institutions, measures were adopted for the
relief of the community; and from that moment the state of the
money market has been evidently improving. . . . Stocks which
have been rapidly declining began to rally; and confidence,
though still scarce, was perceptibly gaining gfound. We feel
assured that these encouraging indications will increase. . . .
Perfect restoration is not, however, to be expected in a day;
the disease is too deeply seated, and some of the exciting causes
still remain. But with prudence and moderation on the part
of the patients, and careful management by the physicians,
a complete recovery is certain and cannot be far removed
It is remarkable how vividly comparable the present
crisis in the States is with that of 1837, and the similarity
of measures taken to relieve distress among the masses.
While there is the same subtle machinations of the dealers
of the great national poker game—Wall Street—with
which no political party has apparently been able to cope,
the fact remains that the masses have been, like Henry j
Ford, unbelievers in history, and must admit that they
have played no small part in contributing to the present
situation by abandoning economic fundamentals, which
once guaranteed comfort and happiness, to sit into a game !
that, like faro, has the percentage staked on the dealer’s
side of the table.
‘‘Viewers with alarm” who have speculated on “where
will it end” may find the answer in history. The national
jag which we have been indulging in for the past few
years, involving experimentation with social as w'ell as
financial laws, has reached the point of the day after,
and the nation has begun to sober up. It will take many
sours and John Collinses to reduce the head. What hap
pened in financial circles was simply that last drink be
fore the bartender decided to clear out the place and count
his cash.
If you don’t believe this note, the tone of the current
popular literature, revision in styles, reversion to monog
amy, modesty, poetry, inspirational rather than porno
graphic art. Note the exodus from the cities back to the
land and “hog and hominy” in lieu of caviar and terra
pin—once in a while.
A PREACHER’S FAREWELL
Probably it is an old story, but anyway it’s full of
logic. A preacher had been greatly discouraged and had
sought a new field of labor. He happened to have a friend
the governor, to whom he appealed, and not in vain. He
got a political job. In taking leave of his flock he said:
“Brothers and sisters, I must say good-bye.
“I don't think God loves you because none of you ever
die.
“I don’t think you love each other, because none of you
ever get married.
“I don’t think you love me, because you have not paid
my salary.
“Your donations are moldy fruit and wormy apples
—and by their fruits ye shall know them.
“I am going to a better place. I am going to be chaplain
of the penitentiary.
“Where I go ye can not yet come, but I go to prepare
a place for you, and may the good Lord have mercy upon
you. Good-bye.’’

LINDY FAILS IN PLACING
DOCTORS IN H.OOD AREA
NANKING, Oct., 3, (/P)—Colonel
Charles Lindbergh’s experimental
flight to take doctors and medi
cines to flood isolated centers of
northern Kiangsu province failed ;
because the starving Chinese!
throngs, crying for food rushed the j
plane.
Describing the failure as the most
heart-rending experience of his ca
reer, Colonel Lindbergh and his
companions returned to Nanking,
convinced that the only way to
place doctors in the flood areas
would be to send them with a mili
tary escort.
