Mr. Coolidge Amazed. England Cuts Wages. Too Many Killings. By ARTHUR BRISBANE (This column is presented for its information and interest and its publication does not in any way indicate sanction of The Greenville News to the views of Mr.

Brisbane.) "Criticism is easy, the art is difficult," as the French say. Russia, working on a five-year plan, begins to realize it. Bolshevism thought all the evil was with the employers, all high virtue with the workers. But at present Russia, an employer on a gigantic scale, faces employer's difficulties, and realizes that the genial proletarian is not always 100 per cent perfect or devoted Russia has been obliged to pay higher wages for better work, giving up the theory that all men are equal, which they are not. the end of the five-year program, which may be a success, although Wall Street has been "holding its thumbs" hoping it wouldn't, Russia's rulers will know many employers' problems.

If the government succeeds in making an industrial nation of a collection of 200,000 Russian villages, and 100.000,000 Russian farmers, Russia. will grow gigantically rich. Then the leaders will change their views, as they do everywhere else, where money flows in and radicalism ebbs. Calvin Coolidge, sitting with a finger on the pulse of the world, tells readers of The Chicago Herald and Examiner, Seattle Post-Intelligencer and other, important newspapers that amazed at the amount of money actually existing. He notes that tax returns revealed an annual national income "over one hundred and forty billions of dollars." This he finds "beyond human comprehension," and he invites you to realize that four million individuals, five hundred thousand corporations, report incomes.

But thirty-six million Americans "gainfully employed" don't pay any income tax. Mr. Coolidge says it is fallacy to think that the government "can be supported by taxing the rich." However, it is supported by taxing the rich, that is, by those who have the money to pay. And the thirty-six million little income earners are quite content to have it that way. By an agreement with railway workers in England, wages of 000 have been reduced four and one-sixth per cent, with the proviso that no adult male will be paid less than forty shillings ($10) a week.

Conditions may seem to compel such reduction, but it will not help England. prosperity of a nation, and its rich men, depends on the earning and spending power of the mass of workers. There is too much crime in this nation. Consider the case of New York City, for instance. In 1930 police records show 498 murders, including 37 killed by police discharging their duty.

Sixteen husbands killed their wives, six wives killed their husbands, great -control, comparatively, on the part of wives. Of those killed, 316 were shot, 76 were stabbed, 58 were blackjacked or otherwise hammered to death, 10 strangled, two burned to death. three thrown from windows, 13 killed by gas, two drowned, one killed by acid-throwing and 16 cases of infanticide. Everything is easy from the outside looking in. Britain's Labor Party said with perfect sincerity: "Give us power and we shall soon settle your unemployment problem." It got the power, and it still has it, and unemployment is worse than ever.

Now MacDonald may form a coalition cabinet, with Lloyd George in charge of the unemployed riddle. To end unemployment is hard when you have more men than work, more goods than markets, more pessimists than enthusiasts. But, if anybody could do it, Lloyd George probably is the man. In the big war he supplied money as Chancellor of the Exchequer, then supplied fighting material as Minister, of Munitions, building ammunition factories miles long, not little ones. And finally, as Prime Minister, with brains enough to put a Frenchman, Foch, in charge of all Allied armies, he, Lloyd George, won the war more than any other man with the possible exception of Clemenceau.

"Flaming youth" flames dangerously. Rosario Bruno, Connecticut boy of 18, wanted money to take girls to the theatre, and "they were not satisfied with 25-cent movies," he said. He confesses that he killed Nick Legelis, owner of a lunch wagon, with some others, and got $19. Later, all alone, he killed Harry W. Miller, 74, owner of a gas station, and got $45.

He shared in burglaries and hold-ups. The statement that nothing is wrong with our young people may be too broad. The warden of Joliet Prison requested the removal of a prison chaplain because "he fomented discontent among the and incidentally, told them "what this prison needs is a hell of a riot." The prison had the riot yesterday, burning buildings and otherwise taking the alleged advice of the chaplain. It is unwise to be too sympathetic, even with criminals.

HAD LIGHT DAY There was little disobedience of the law in the city yesterday, only HOSPITAL I HEAD GIVES STATEMENT Superintendent Pinn, Working Benevolent Hospital, Defends Administration In reply to statements concerning the financial conditions at the Working Benevolent hospital, Petra Pinn, superintendent, yesterday issued the following statement in order to make known her side of the matter: "Owing to the many statements that have become public property concerning the recent trend of affairs, hospital at in the the Working Benevolent Greenville city and since these statement have much to do with my administration as superintendent of said hospital I thing that it is my right to give the public my side of the controversy. It is reported behat the following charges have alleged against my administration. "First: Running the hospital at too great expense. The cost per day per patient has been $2.69 under my administration. The city hospital reported a cost per day per patient of $3.94.

The auditor, Mr. William Trammell, made the following report: Cash on hand December 31, 1929 $140.85. Cash on hand December 31, 1930 $868.26. The total receipts for year ending December 31, 1930 were $9,561.00. Expenses $8,197.69.

This shows a difference of $1,363.31. Amount due from patients $495.05 is included in the surplus of $1,363.31, and being deducted there from leaves a net balance of $868.26. "During my administration I suc-, ceeded in getting the hospital recognized by the Duke Endowment committee. There is a nice amount that is due the hospital from that source for last year's patients. The Duke Endowment for the year 1930 which is not yet paid amounts' to $1,500.00.

So much for the financial side of this controversy. The second allegation is that I was not giving satisfactory service. Twenty-seven physicians who have visited the hospital in an official capacity have placed their names to a statement my services were perfectly satisfactory. So far no patient has made any complaint which has reached me of my not having given them all the attention necessary in the case. "There seems to have been some ill feeling engendered 011 account of the book keeping required by the Duke Endowment committee which did not permit the handling of all the funds alone by one man but required a separate account from the funds of the society.

The Grand Lodge in session in October declared me elected for one year beginning October 1930 to October 1931 the superintendent of the Working Benevolent hospital, The president, John R. Fant, so declared in letters that he has written. He said that the presiding officer when the election was held and as much declared me elected superintendent the hospital. "PETRA PINN, R. N.
