their demagoguery further by crit

labor to attack employers. Altogeth
er, it was a rather sorry spectacle
and, I think, did not do credit to
either side to any extent.
But in this report, I want to
stress a very much less obvious
phase of the problem than was made coal consumers. But the industry it-
apparent in any of the electioneer- self is not wholly responsible. In-

| Building and Rebuilding
Rebuilding a ruined house or

rw. It takes
more skill end more ability,
it is being done every day.
S PEAKING on the question,of
trial marriages, a well known
writer said, "There should be no
need for trial when two people
know their own abilities and have
measured themselves accurately.
Two people who understand them
selves will never, I believe, have
any difficulty living happily to
gether after marriage.”
That is a new slant on the ques
tion of success in marriage, sup
plements a woman writer of na
tional fame. Not "Know thy hus-
band” — or "wife,” but—‘‘kno
thyself!”
And, come to think of it, isn’t
most of the discontent and dissat
isfaction in marriage traceable to
ideas of ourselves—that may be
misconceptions^ no less than our
illusions about toe other person?
How many women’s dissatisfac
tion with their husband has as its
source the thought of all they gave
up to marry him, all they "might
hve had” if they had married a
certain other man?
How many women’s discontent
with the role of wife and mother
springs from the thought of how
much more fascinating pastimes
they might have had if they had
followed that career?
How many girl's impossible ex
pectations of a fulltime lover and
Prince Charming originates in an
exaggerated notion of their own
devastating beauty and charm?

the point. The present question is
whether our nation Is going to con
tinue to expand public ownership in
such a way as to nun an industry
that is as much a part of our basic
economic structure as any other
unit of our natural Ufa. I think some
times it goes beyond that for the
reason that, unless people awaken to
the fact that they are being hood
winked to a considerable extent by
pubUc ownership propaganda, it is
likely to spread and public owner
ship will become a frankenstein, a
parasite on our body public.
When I referred to the destruction
of a great industry, I had in mind
the thought that the consequences
will run in two directions. Yet, para-
doxicaUy as it may seem, they
constitute a cycle. It works out like
this: As the demand for coal de
clines, it is quite natural that pro
duction costs go up. When production
costs go up, they eventually reach
the point where a further diminu
tion occurs in demand. When that
decline in demand occurs, there is
only one answer: Labor is thrown
out of work because you cannot
produce and have those products
piled high in storage. It takes money
to keep labor and machinery occu
pied. The coal itself, after being
removed from the mines, represents
money and it is subject as well to
deterioration. So, the ultimate to
be expected on this side of the pic
ture is an industry dying of dry rot.
On toe other side of the problem is
an equally important factor at work.
It takes an immense amount of cap
ital, massed in corporate form, to
maintain a going concern whether
that concern be coal mining, rail
roading or any other of our great
industries. These industries operate
largely on funds obtained through
the sale of stocks and bonds of the
corporation. But it has always been
true, and human nature shows no
signs of changing, that capital is
not attracted to, it does not seek
investment in, a declining industry.
There you have a possibility at least
of insufficient funds to carry through
for the coal mining industry until it

turally then, hundreds of thousands
of people believe that government
can do this sort of thing better
than prtvata aniarpcias They b^

Recent Treasury figures show that
the Resettlement Administration has
paid approximato-
Expensive \j $27,750,000 of
Dream its total appropri
ation of $134,518,-
000 for administrative expenses.
That is, the organization which is
the pride and joy of Professor Rex-
ford Guy Tugwell has paid that
amount of money to job holders in
trying to carry out the professor’s
impossible dream.
While the sum shown as used for
administrative expenses by Profes
sor Tugwell is small, compared to
the billions, of total waste in the
Roosevelt administration, the prop
er way to consider this circum
stance is on a percentage basis. If
you take your pencil you can cal
culate that about 20 per cent or one-
fifth of all the funds appropriated to
Professor Tugwell for resettlement,
has been used in management of
his plan. It may be a fraction under
20 per cent, but it is so close that
even the fastidious Mr. Tugwell
would not quarrel about the dif
ference.
One-fifth of an appropriation that
is designed theoretically at least to
serve for relief purposes is entirely
too much. It is not as great per
haps as has happened with one 09
two other relief appropriations, but
it has always been claimed that the
Tugwell scheme was planned to re
establish those who have been re
settled on a permanent basis. That
is to say, it was planned that the
bulk of the money should be used
in providing those people with a
fresh start in life, but I cannot see
where they are getting the full meas
ure of help intended if a lot of job
holders sit around in Washington
offices or in offices in various states
using up one-fifth of the total lay-
oat of cash.
measure themselves, stop fooling
themselves, many might discover
that the other man they might
have married is a self-nurtured
illusion; that the career of their
dreams is not a soft snap and a
joy forever; but a grueling, ex
hausting job which might have
worn them out if they had quali
fied for it, which they probably
would have been unable to do;
that they themselves are neither
devastating beauties nor always
charming, but women who are
cult to live with. They might dis
cover and admit to themselyes
that they are greatly in debt to
their husbands for many things
that make life easier and better
and more worthwhile—that they
would not get along so well with
out them.
Then they might think more of
doing their part of trying to make
those husbands happy. And that
effort on the part of one must in
evitably go a long way toward a
mutually happy and successful
marriage.
