Creed And Depression Senator James Coumis comes closer to the out-and-out radical position tlian hu in the cause for Ihc present Ijusi- ness depression. Asked who responsible for Die depression, he remarked that while he not know who the Ktiilly individ- might be, ho knew very well what the underlying criuse restrained greed. This is coming cjose to, stopping over line into tho licltl of Uiu Socialists 'and the Conimunisls. It is one of the basic tenets of their creed. And we agree with it without in any way adopting socialism or communism.

The radical declares thai we shall be happy until we change our 'economic system. The present system, lie asserts, was built for the bcnelit of private profit. It sbn'os only the greedy; it promotes greed, makes it the only-' -mainspring of human endeavor. Consequently, he says, the ills that greed brings cannot be removed until the system is changed. Right now the rnost remarkable thing in American life is the way in which people who have no use for either socialism or communism are beginning to accept at least part of this vicw- DOint.

Senator Couzens who, with 30 -lions, is not apt to turn "red" on us i. overnight excoriates the moving force of greed. 'Henry Ford, equally far rc- moved from the isms, says that one i i.

In other cities the ranki of professional gunmen probably furnish many recruits for the kidnapers. However, the problem is far from insoluble. Hncrgclic and courageous police work will nearly always break it up. Detroit proved that, about a year ago. Any other city can do the same.

The liidnnper is a dangerous outlaw, but he docs not occupy very strong position. The Kidnapers Thcj kidnaper seems lo have put on a revival in American city life during the -past few years. Until comparatively recently, kidnaping was a comparalivc- .7 -ly rare crime; lately, however, one can i hardly pick up a newspaper without of some citizen who has been and held for ransom. The cause probably traces directly back to the racketeering circles that have come into existence in the past Ihc Price of Collon Referring lo HID often statement by the American CoHon shippers Association and the cotton trade generally that cotton and wheat have declined In price Blua- llon of the Farm Hoard, II Is needless to point out that we urc In the mUUt of out 1 the worst business depressions or panics that the world has ever seen, and thai all products and commodities whose production Is nol completely controlled arc oiitrcrlng a similar some of much worse (hail cotlon and wheat. Indeed, one of the thief complaints of the opposition Is lhat the price of American cotton and wheat lias been held above world price and therefore lo that extent bus diverted consumption from our products in favor of those of other commies.

Indeed, the argument of the is that the dancer of Hie holdings ol the Cotton Stabilization Corporation being plated on the nmrkcl is a menace to tho existing price.

You long to leave a too- familiar world to travel with the speed of thought to far-off purple lands to bathe in tepid, lotus- scented surf. But your daily paper finds you in a more practical mood. Interested in real people, in the facts of the day. Looking for news of things that you may buy and and now. You may find in the advertisement just what you want in the way of a better breakfast food, or a new radio, or an improved face powder.

If tho thing fits into your living, is practical and possible you are vitally interested. Because you are reading- about yourself!
