But the LaFollette wing now scorns the Republican ticket and fights under the name of the Progressive Party. Although LaFollette has supported the more liberal phases of the new Deal program and policy, he is an obvious leader for any new third, liberal party which may develop be- m>een now and 1940. DaTORC we can decide where we go from here we must take our bearing* and determine just where we are Lincoln long ago admonished us that 'if we first know WHERE we are and WHITHER we are tending We could'then better judjje what to do and how to do it " The essential of determining where we are is to understand that the economic crisis through which we are panning la not a mere pha*e of the business cycle. It is the end of an economic era dominated by the physical expansion of the frontier In the throe* of our greatest depression we are becoming conscious for the first time of great change* which have already occurred and are con- tinuing to occur in the economic life of our nation. Immigration has stopped. Natural population growth la slow- ing down Free land has disappeared. Economic nationalism la closing economic opportunity in foreign trade. All these things have resulted in a curtailment of individual economic opportunity which presenta fundamental problems for solution Speaking In broad terms, those problems require us to apply the same intelligence to the creation of a measure of equality of economic opportunity as the generation of the Revo- lution of 1776 had to apply to the problem of creating a measure ot equality of political opportunity. While the American people have always been vigilant against governmental tyranny, they have been slow to observe a greater tyranny In the growth of unrestrained private economic power over the life, property and labor of a once free people. voman of unusual * BEST SELUCBM IN ALBANY Compile* by B.

That Is now his goal j The book Is unusually attractive in its thought and action and should find a high place in the category of the pilgrimages of men's souls toward an ideal, come what may to Interfere—H ON. a I Two Major Objectives T SEEMS perfectly clear to me that we have two primary ob- jectives in the near future—-• I) to increase the national Income, and <2> to secure a more equitable distribution of it as it la pro- duced from year to year. The Roosevelt administration and Its .supporters have taken certain minim urn, step* in the general direction of the.se objectives. What the country is now going through from a political standpoint Is a decision whether the administration and its supporters are going to be able to carry forward with other measure* to the full attainment of these objectives. The 8upreme Court fight, in my judgment, was just one of many auch measure.*—but a very necessary one because upon its substantial success turned the legal freedom of a democracy to move toward Its goals. Beneath a-surface fight over the reorgani- sation of courts lay a deeper Issue—whether today and tomorrow the people are to have the power under a democratic form of gov- ernment to make their expressed will the law of the land. In attaining the two fundamental objectives I have outlined— the lncrea.se and the better distribution of national income—farm legislation, wage and hours legislation, collective bargaining legis- lation, are important. But from the beginning I have believed that the most effective Instrumentality of all' for adjusting the creation and distribution of income is public employment on useful projects which can be expanded or contracted as other factors in,the business cycle dic- tate and thus act as a governor for our economic system. Hand in hand with this adjustable employment should go a free use of the tax mechanism to drain off unexpendable income and force It out at the bottom. The present economic crisis raises fundamental issues which "are forcing a political realignment. It will bring a clean-cut dis- tinction between the reactionaries who favor maintaining the status quo at all costs, and progressives who believe we must solve our problems—between thoae who think It Ls the function of gov- ernment to hold the gains of the few and thwe who think it is the function of the government to advance the welfare of the many.

ON. liaatton to the Roman Empire when it was a powerful entity, controlling directing much of the known world and exerting a powerful influent- upon the barbaric tribes on its borders. Mr. Belloc also traces the growth of the Catholk Church. Denying the assertion of many his- torians that the decline of the em- pire" was caused by the use of tin church, he declare* that the Roman liower was bound to Uwindie, and it wit* only th.e church ahUii kept what civilisation remained alive Piom there he tra.e* the growth ot the church and civilization into the Middle A«es termed by the author the highest flowering of civi- lisation. From there. Mr Belloc writes, there was a slow decadence of society, culminating in tiie Refor- mation With the Reformation, the binding force of the Catholic Church was disrupted and while men ad- vanced by leapa mid bounds in the fields of exploration snd science, particularly in the last century, the lour, of religion were weakened. Now for the remedies suggested by Mr. Belloc As s basis for his statement*, he cites the fact that during the height of the Middle Ages, all of western civilization was cemented by the church, and all men, whether or not they practiced their religion faithfully, nevertheless took the church's tenets as their moral guuhng light. One of the basic reasons for the contentment of the Middle Age*, the author asserts, was the matter of status, as opposed to the contract a*-lection of The Discoverers.

WHAT BETTER .SUBJECT should I N a. basks upon which the business life of ' Rafael Sabutlni pick upon than the today rests He declares that in the Middle Ages every man had his place, was assured or protection in his rights, and freely granted to those above htm their superiority. The right of contract, whereby man was bound to man only bv stipulated terms, removed that solid structure of status. Mr Belloc declares, and ultimately allowed the bulk of wealth to concentrate in the hands ot a few wealthy families, making the great multitude of working peo- ple mere wage slaves. For a remedy, he .sugsests that western civilization return to ap- p tmately the basis which sup- ported the craftsman and farmer of the medieval period. Unless this Is done, he predicts, the entire struc- ture of capitalism will collapse, bruvting wWh it the ruin of our civ- ilisation.

The economic royalists have managed to divide this Congress sufficiently to obstruct the fulfillment of the 1936 election pledges. One of two things is going to happen. Bither this man- date will be carried out by the administration, or the people will forge a new political instrumentality to accomplish their will—as they have done before. In any great democracy there must be party leadership and party responsibility. In 1936 the Democratic Party accepted the program of the New Deal and the leadership of Franklin D. Roose- velt. What the country overwhelmingly endorsed was not that party but that program and that leadership. The country has not endorsed the leadership of the bi-partisan majority of the Senate Judiciary Committee or of the bi-partisan group which controls the House Rules Committee. The country will not long accept party-labels in lieu of party principles, or fulsome praise of Franklin D. Roosevelt. the man, In lieu of honest and heartfelt devotion to the New Deal principles to which he U devoted and on the basis of which the majority party was returned to power. The failure of this session of Congress to achieve major objec- tives will not be accepted by the millions of progressive* who voted far the President In 19M aa final proof that the control of Congress has been permanently captured by a combination of reactionaries tn the Democratic and Republican Parties. But if in the coming sessions of Congress the majority political party doe* not .carry out the mandate of the 1936 election it will hasten the political align- ment »o essential to the effective functioning of the democratic processes. i. * County Commander John J ' O'Reilly calls attention of the vari- ous posts in the county to the fact that they should interest the gen- eral public in the work of the American Legion, calling attention to the various activities of the legion, inviting the cooperation of the public toward community serv- ice and general welfare, particularly instilling into the minds of the youths what a grand and glorious country this is. Mr. O'Reilly states that each post commander should impress the pub- lic that despite various predictions over a period of years, the Ameri- can Legion has not been an organi- sation aiming to seise the power of the state as ex-eervice men in other countries hsve done. Mr O'Reilly feels the different posts should im- press upon the public that the legion has set its face against any man handling; or any over-riding of the Constitution of the United States and its bill of rights. Mr O'Reilly reports 300 posts in the metropolitan area of New York City have made special preparations for the entertainment of out of town legionnaires for the convention. Al- bany County legionnaires have been extended a cordial invitation to stop at the Richard 3. McNaily Post, lo- cated at 964 West 183rd Street, near the Oeorge Washington Bridge.

Senator Rob en >f LafoUette Jr. followed in the footsteps and tradition of hit father at an insurgent Republican senator from Wisconsin. But the LaFollette wing now scorns the Republican ticket and fights under the name of the Progressive Party. Although LaFollette has supported the more liberal phases of the new Deal program and policy, he is an obvious leader for any new third, liberal party which may develop be-

m>een now and 1940.

DaTORC we can decide where we go from here we must take our bearing* and determine just where we are Lincoln long ago

admonished us that 'if we first know WHERE we are and WHITHER we are tending We could'then better judjje what to do and how to do it "

The essential of determining where we are is to understand that the economic crisis through which we are panning la not a mere pha*e of the business cycle. It is the end of an economic era dominated by the physical expansion of the frontier In the throe* of our greatest depression we are becoming conscious for the first time of great change* which have already occurred and are con­tinuing to occur in the economic life of our nation.

Immigration has stopped. Natural population growth la slow­ing down Free land has disappeared. Economic nationalism la closing economic opportunity in foreign trade.

All these things have resulted in a curtailment of individual economic opportunity which presenta fundamental problems for solution Speaking In broad terms, those problems require us to apply the same intelligence to the creation of a measure of equality of economic opportunity as the generation of the Revo­lution of 1776 had to apply to the problem of creating a measure ot equality of political opportunity.

While the American people have always been vigilant against governmental tyranny, they have been slow to observe a greater tyranny In the growth of unrestrained private economic power over the life, property and labor of a once free people.

itrength gnd sentiment The story Is translated from the French but it does not seem to have suf­fered from the process •—

The story is written as though it were selections or the Intermittent musings of a woman to her diary. Borne of the passages are necessarily extended Their general brevity, however, often with a swift change of subject, is particularly effective. The woman, Claude lived and thought her life In this disjointed manner. But the underlying trend, if not motive of her eilstence is the continuing thread knitting the whole compactly together

Claude was the wife ot a man who was trying against overwhelming and discouraging odd* to re.More by (tie sweat of lux brow the an­cestral home But barns tell down stock prices dropped when < at tie were plentiful and fat the weather •erved Uiem badly. But Claude moved along, sometimes in a dream. Then Phillipe a friend of her more luxurious childhood, returned to her. There was no clandestine affair or anything so trite and tri­vial. There was a growing respect between them. The parting lacked even the faint odor of melodrama, but its drama was thereby heigh* tened.

There are numerous other charac­ters of varying importance Borne are Claude's clUldreu, some the children with whom she played on her own childhood, and relatives and friends whose appearances in the story tend rather to emphasise Claude rather than to offer digres­sions. Women and intelligent men will find this story filled with a subtle power— H ON.

Two Major Objectives T SEEMS perfectly clear to me that we have two primary ob­

jectives in the near future—-• I) to increase the national Income, and <2> to secure a more equitable distribution of it as it la pro­duced from year to year.

The Roosevelt administration and Its .supporters have taken certain minim urn, step* in the general direction of the.se objectives. What the country is now going through from a political standpoint Is a decision whether the administration and its supporters are going to be able to carry forward with other measure* to the full attainment of these objectives.

The 8upreme Court fight, in my judgment, was just one of many auch measure.*—but a very necessary one because upon its substantial success turned the legal freedom of a democracy to move toward Its goals. Beneath a-surface fight over the reorgani­sation of courts lay a deeper Issue—whether today and tomorrow the people are to have the power under a democratic form of gov­ernment to make their expressed will the law of the land.

In attaining the two fundamental objectives I have outlined— the lncrea.se and the better distribution of national income—farm legislation, wage and hours legislation, collective bargaining legis­lation, are important.

But from the beginning I have believed that the most effective Instrumentality of all' for adjusting the creation and distribution of income is public employment on useful projects which can be expanded or contracted as other factors in,the business cycle dic­tate and thus act as a governor for our economic system. Hand in hand with this adjustable employment should go a free use of the tax mechanism to drain off unexpendable income and force It out at the bottom.

The present economic crisis raises fundamental issues which "are forcing a political realignment. It will bring a clean-cut dis­tinction between the reactionaries who favor maintaining the status quo at all costs, and progressives who believe we must solve our problems—between thoae who think It Ls the function of gov­ernment to hold the gains of the few and thwe who think it is the function of the government to advance the welfare of the many.

liaatton to the Roman Empire when it was a powerful entity, controlling directing much of the known world and exerting a powerful influent-upon the barbaric tribes on its borders. Mr. Belloc also traces the growth of the Catholk Church. Denying the assertion of many his­torians that the decline of the em­pire" was caused by the use of tin church, he declare* that the Roman liower was bound to Uwindie, and it wit* only th.e church ahUii kept what civilisation remained alive

Piom there he tra.e* the growth ot the church and civilization into the Middle A«es termed by the author the highest flowering of civi­lisation. From there. Mr Belloc writes, there was a slow decadence of society, culminating in tiie Refor­mation With the Reformation, the binding force of the Catholic Church was disrupted and while men ad­vanced by leapa mid bounds in the fields of exploration snd science, particularly in the last century, the lour , of religion were weakened.

Now for the remedies suggested by Mr. Belloc As s basis for his statement*, he cites the fact that during the height of the Middle Ages, all of western civilization was cemented by the church, and all men, whether or not they practiced their religion faithfully, nevertheless took the church's tenets as their moral guuhng light.

One of the basic reasons for the contentment of the Middle Age*, the author asserts, was the matter of status, as opposed to the contract

basks upon which the business life of ' Rafael Sabutlni pick upon than the today rests He declares that in the Middle Ages every man had his place, was assured or protection in his rights, and freely granted to those above htm their superiority. The right of contract, whereby man was bound to man only bv stipulated terms, removed that solid structure of status. Mr Belloc declares, and ultimately allowed the bulk of wealth to concentrate in the hands ot a few wealthy families, making the great multitude of working peo­ple mere wage slaves.

For a remedy, he .sugsests that western civilization return to ap-p tmately the basis which sup­ported the craftsman and farmer of the medieval period. Unless this Is done, he predicts, the entire struc­ture of capitalism will collapse, bruvting wWh it the ruin of our civ­ilisation.

clear mandate to President Roosevelt The

vote in the election was not a mere approval of what had been done, but was a demand to go further in an attempt to meet these two major objectives.

The economic royalists have managed to divide this Congress sufficiently to obstruct the fulfillment of the 1936 election pledges.

One of two things is going to happen. Bither this man­date will be carried out by the administration, or the people will forge a new political instrumentality to accomplish their will—as they have done before.

In any great democracy there must be party leadership and party responsibility. In 1936 the Democratic Party accepted the program of the New Deal and the leadership of Franklin D. Roose­velt. What the country overwhelmingly endorsed was not that party but that program and that leadership.

The country has not endorsed the leadership of the bi-partisan majority of the Senate Judiciary Committee or of the bi-partisan group which controls the House Rules Committee.

The country will not long accept party-labels in lieu of party principles, or fulsome praise of Franklin D. Roosevelt. the man, In lieu of honest and heartfelt devotion to the New Deal principles to which he U devoted and on the basis of which the majority party was returned to power.

The failure of this session of Congress to achieve major objec­tives will not be accepted by the millions of progressive* who voted far the President In 19M aa final proof that the control of Congress has been permanently captured by a combination of reactionaries tn the Democratic and Republican Parties. But if in the coming sessions of Congress the majority political party doe* not .carry out the mandate of the 1936 election it will hasten the political align­ment »o essential to the effective functioning of the democratic processes. i.

* County Commander J o h n J '

O'Reilly calls attention of the vari­ous posts in the county to the fact that they should interest the gen­eral public in the work of the American Legion, calling attention to the various activities of the legion, inviting the cooperation of the public toward community serv­ice and general welfare, particularly instilling into the minds of the youths what a grand and glorious country this is.

Mr. O'Reilly states that each post commander should impress the pub­lic that despite various predictions over a period of years, the Ameri­can Legion has not been an organi­sation aiming to seise the power of the state as ex-eervice men in other countries hsve done. Mr O'Reilly feels the different posts should im­press upon the public that the legion has set its face against any man handling; or any over-riding of the Constitution of the United States and its bill of rights.
