CO-OPERATION
SWEDISH CURE
The fact that Sweden is leading
the entire world in its recovery
from the depression, that its indus-
trial production last year was
above the peak year 1929, is at-
tracting world-wide attention to
that country.
Those people in the United
States who think the only economic
cure is to ,give the control of all
industry, including agriculture, into
the hands of politicians and bureau-
crats--with power to license and
regulate and allot--have been busy
claiming that Sweden's happy eco-
nomic condition is due to regulated
capitalism and long-range planning.
We declared recently that there
is no such thing in Eweden as regu.
lated capitalism or long-range plan-
ning, as those terms are under-
stood in this country, but that the
economic leaven in Sweden was co-
operation, supplemented by govern-
ment ownership of the railroads
and some other public utilities, in-
cluding part of the water powers.
Now we have corroboration of
this in the following paragraph of
a letter from E. R. Bowen, general
secretary of The Co-operative
League, New York City. W'ritiug
of his efforts to run this matter
down, Mr. Bowen says:
"We have followed this matter
up further, and now have positive
confirmation from the Swedish con-
sul that there never has been any
attempt in Sweden to 'politically
regulate monopolies' as we attempt
to do by 'prevention' in the Sher-
man anti-trust law and by 'permis-
sion' in the NRA law. Tlle only
method which Sweden used appar-
ently is the 'threat of substitution,'
either through the Swedish govern-
ment taking over the entire or ma-
Jority ownership of utilities, and
through consumers' co-operatives."
By public ownership of public
utilities, exploitation is prevented
in that field. In the much larger
industrial field, co-operation is the
preventive. To the large extent
that Swedish co-operators do their
own manufacturing and distribut-
ing, they put the profits back into
their own pockets. And by their
competition, they keep capitalistic
concerns from piling up inordinate
profits.
Not regulatory tinkering, there-
fore, but carrying on economic
functions without private profit,
and thus setting the pace for the
whole of industry, is what has
made Sweden the most prosperous
nation in the world today. And
what is most significant and impor-
tant, this prosperity has been at-
tained without the loss of freedom.

This ancestor business is a funny
thing. Over in China the people
Worship their ancestors, whether
they were rich or poor. Here in
America we worship them only
when they left a million dollars or
more, at least a part of it for our
personal use. i'm not sure but l
like the Chinese way best. And
Yet l expect Chinese, being human,
find it easier to worship an ances.
tot who left a rich estate than one
who was as poor as a church mouse
and who left nothing but a bunch
of debts.

1 admire the Chinese people's
capacity for worship. It is very
- great. Not only can they worship
thousands of ancestors at one •nd
the same time but they have
enough worship left so they can
wor~hlp a stone image of some sort.
An image of Budha, maybe, or an
image of a sacred eow. Every
spring along •bout this time a con.
siderable number of China's people
devote several days to a festival
during which time they go in for
worshipping the sacred cow in a
big way. The native~ make pil.
grimages for great distances, if
necessary so that they ma.- worship
at the shrine of a stone image of
the sacred cow. They bring gifts
of' sweet cakes and little candies
that they deposit around the im-
age of the cow. If a Chinaman has
aches or pains he believes he may
obtain relief by rubbing the image.
Should he have rheumatism in his
legs he rubs the stone legs of the
cow; if his head aches he rubs tLe
cow's head; should he have rode
horseback for a great distance, he
probably rubs the image elsewhere.
And so on.

Perhaps we smile tolerantly at
so quaint au oriental custom. And
yet is it more ridiculous than that
of millions of Americans who wor-
ship only the God of Gold and who
will lie and cheat and practice
fraud and deception to acquire
wealth and, when the occasion of-
fers, will not hesitate tc fight, by
fair means or foul, for an unearned
share of a dead man's fortune?
Parting shot: A lot of folks who
think they are the whole cheese
in reality are a very tiny hunk of

COMMENTS ON

PATRONAGE
By SENATOR O'MAHONElr
of Wyoming.
THE answer to the question of
patronage is emphatically
"yes," and the proof is that the
Democratic party, having elected only
three Presidents since the Civil war,
has managed to survive without bene-
fit of patronage and to present the
country, for good or ill, according to
the point of vlew, with that far-reach-
Ing program which is called the New
Deah
Except in the administrations of Gro-
ver Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson and
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic
party has been a stranger to federal
patronage.
Thougl~ it was a stalwart supporter
of Andrew Jackson, who announced
that "too the victor belong the spoils,"
it was Grover Cleveland who declared
that "public office is a trust" and who
took the first steps to use the civil
service law in any measureable degree
for the purpose of selecting govern.
mental employees.
PURPOSE OF AAA
By PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
IT IS your duty and mine to con-
tinue to educate the people of
this country to the fact that ad-
justment means not only adjustment
downward, but adjustment upward.
If you and I agree on a correct fig-
ure for a normal carry-over It means
that if we have a bumper crop one
ear we will, by mutual consent, re-
duce the next year's crop in order to
even up that'carry-over.
At the same time, if we get a short
crop in a given year, you and I agree
to increase the next year's crop to
make up the she#rage. That is exactly
what we are doing today in the case
of wheat.
It is high time for you and for me to
carry, by education, knowledge of the
fact that not a single program of the
AAA contemplated the destruction of an
acre of food crops in the United States,
in spite of what you may read or be
told by people who have special axes
to grind.
REBUILDING FOREIGN TRADE
BY" CORDELL HULL
Secretary of State.
OUR effort to rebuild Ameri-
can foreign trade is being
carried steadily forward--with
the necessary safeguards against cur-
rency fluctuations. Signs are not lack-
ing that other governments, finding
other methods unsatisfactory, are now
disposed to direct their policy in the
same direction.
All progress made in extending world
trade makes it easier to regularize cur-
rency relationships. Correspondingly,
all progress in this direction makes It
much easier and safer for governments
to arrange for an extension of trade.
These movements supplement each
other. As trade grows and currencies
approach a condition of stability, the
rigid control over exchanges which
many governments now exercise cad
be lessened or abolished.
FELLOWSHIP ESSENTIAL
By SIR FRANCIS YOUNGHUSBAND
British National Chairman of the World
Fellowship of Faiths.
]~ELLOWSHIP is essentially
1' a thing of the spirit. The sci-
entist will continue to tell us much
about the material world, but he will
not always hold the oracular position
he now occupies. When we want to
know the real nature of the world we
will turn in future to the mystic, not
as we do now to the philosopher or
the scientist. The mystic experiences
directly the essential drive of the uni-
verse, he reaches his conclusions by
direct inspiration, and he will be looked
upon as the type of what the race is
developing toward In Its slow, evolu,
tionary way.
ADMINISTRATION POLICIES
By EUGENE TALMADGE
Governor of Georgia.
ARE the actions in Washin.g-
ton emanating from the prm;
ciples of the Democratic doctrine.
Are the policies emanating from
Washington in keeping with the con-
stitution of the United States?
I can hear your answer. But I can
also hear the question in your minds:
"It is easy to attack what is going on;
anyone can tear down and criticize,
but what remedy have you!"
Here it is: Go back to the Constitu-
tion of the United States l
Abolish all activities ef the govern-
ment maintaining and operating a bUm,
ness.

BOCEBS
BEVERLY HILLS.--Well all I know
is Just what I read in the papers, or
what I kinder eve drop around and hear.
We are back at the
f
Studio working on
the picture after be-
ing away on loca-
tion up around Sac-
ramento, Cal.
We had a lot of
fun on steamboats
up there. We had
two or three rented
and lived right on
the boats. Had a big
steamboat race. Ir-
vin Cobb was the
captain of one and
me of the other. Cobb really knew
something about a boat, but I am not
part of a boat man, either ocean or
river, although I would take the river
first. I am the champion sea sick guy
of this or any range. I am getting a lit-
tle better though than I used to in my
eaNy days of ocean traveling. Its all
nerve you know and I am as yellow as a
small pox flag. I give up and off to the
hay I go,
But to get back to rivers, this Sacra-
mento River that we were working on
is a pretty big river. Wcl: nothing iikc
the Missi.~;~ippi (but what is?) or eve~
the Ohio. In fact Irviu said its about
half the size of the Tennessee. I dent
know no~hing but the Verdigris, (that
last four letters gris, is prounced gree)
Verdigree. Its a pretty big river. It has
to be to furnish Claremore with its
water supply, and have any left over. I
was born right on her, about a quarter
of a mile away. She is steep banks, and
muddy and boggy, and you cant cross
it only at fords. This Sacramento and
another river that run into it right
where we was working, the American
River, that was the river where they
first found the gold in Cal.
And say, the gold thing is a-booming
around up there now, and all over Cali-
fornia. There has been a pretty big
strike up here in the desert at Mohave.
The high price of gold is what has
caused em to get out and dig again. Its
a railroad division point. I like to go to
those little mining towns.
One time out here in the old silent
day pictures, it was in 1919, we made
about three pictures up at a place near
Mohave, Calledarndsburg. It has a big
old mine, and Irene Rich was with us.
She was just a breaking in as a leading
lady. She is a big radio star now.
Modern audiences think that aid folks
are Just to be the fathers and mothers
of the young ones. And too in one of
those same pictures was Margaret Lie.
ingston, who is now Paul Whiteman's
wife. She is the one that made him quit
eating so much. The way she did it she
would let him order whatever he want-
ed and then she had a string tied to it
and she would pull it away from him,
and he got thin grabbing at it. I was one
time te rescue her out of the water.
Well we had to go another two hun-
dred miles to find a stream. You know
this water thing out here aint Just
water, its gold. Well I was supposed to
swim in on a horse and rescue her, and
as I dragged her ashore pull her up on
my horse ..nd run to the doctors with
ler. Well say you get on dry land and
try to stay up on your horse and pull •
fair size old gal up on there with you,
when she is supposed to be plum dead,
and then wet to boot! Say, she had to
reduse before I could get her up there.
There ts nothing heavier than a person
that is wet, even a little person. You dip
one of Singers Midgets in the water and
let him soak awhile, and I bet you
Dempsey wouldent lift him up in fron~
of him.
We had lots of fun in those days In
the old silent pictures. They wasent so
careful and teglous with everything.
I love Westerns. They wont let me
make one. They say they can only get
Just so much money with It, as they
have a kind of set
price for Westerns,
but I would like to
get to make a good
one. (Now dent
start sending me
zny, you cant hint
anything in this
business w i t h o u t
somebody, d o z e n s
of era, taking you
up on it.) Fox picks
my stories, not me.
They notify me the
night before we
start what its to be, if they know by
then themselvs.
Pretty near everything in pictures
nowadays is made inside a stage. Street
scenes, churches, homes and all are put
up inside a big stage. Then they can
light it as they want too. We got a
whole big steamboat built inside on a
stage, water around the edges and all,
but we miss a lot by not going on all
those old location trips. Course this one
to Stockton and Sacramento on this pic-
ture was great and unusual too, The
people are awful fine to you, mighty'
friendly and nice. but the whole thing
must look awful nutty to era. for there
is no sense to it. It drives you pretty
near cuckoo just to try to watch em
make era. One scene done a couple of
dozen times, a dozen different ways, and
distances away from the camera, and
different •ngles. But to the looker on It
all looks like the same scene, and is,
but it makes us look dumber than we
really are, to have to do it so many
times. I heard of Charley Chaplin doing
a scene 70 times, but brother whezl he
gets it done its done right.

WHY FIRST DAY
IS LORD'S DAY
Gradually Supplanted the
Jewish Sabbath.
Adoption of Sunday as the Chris-
tian Sabbath was gradual. The wor:l
Sunday, which occurs nowhere in
the Bible, is derived from Anglo-
Saxon sunnandaeg, day of the sun,
the first day of the week having
been dedicated to the sun by the
pagans. The fourth commandment
--"Remember tbe Sabbath day, to
keep it holy"--referred to the ancient
Jewish Sabbath, which was the
seventh day of the week. Tint the
New Testament writers clearly dis-
tinguished between the Sabbath andi
the fir,% day of the week is strewn
by several passages in which the first
day is mentioned as following the
Sabbath. Although Jesus himself
observed the Sabbath, St. Paul seems
to have placed observance of this
day anmng the customs not obliga-
tory on Christians. lie says in Colos-
clans 2:16: "Let no nmu therefore
Judge you in meat, or in drink, or in
respect of an holy day, or of the new
moon, or of the Sabbath days." Tiffs
I)ass~ge has been taken to indicate
that the question of the Christian's
rehtion to the Jewlsh Sabbath was
raised at an early date, although it
is not certain that the passu~e refers
to the weekly Sabbath. From tim
beginlfing many Christians com-
memorated tbe first day of tim week
as Resurrection day, the day on
which Jesns rose from the (lead.
"Lord's (lay" first occurs lu l~evela-
tion 1:10. I Corinthians 36:2 seems
to imply some sort of observ-
ance of the first day of the week.
There is evidence that the first duy
was origin:flly intended as-a substi-
tute for the Jewish Sal)buth. but it
seems that most of the early Chris-
finns observed I)oth the Sabbath and
the Lord's day, and tiffs was the
tendency "~s lon~ as the Christi'ms
were composed ehielly of former ad-
herents of Judaism. In the First
century St. Ignatius wrote tbaL
Christians no lot]ger observed lh9
Sabb'~tb, but the Lord's day Instead.
and St. Justin. in tbe Second century.
was probably the first Christiuu
writer to refer to the Lord's day as
Sunday, As centuries passed and the
church grew in strength the nmjor-
lty of Christians paid less attention
to the Sabbath and more attention
to the Lord's day until in time the
Lord's day or Sunduy supplanted the
Sabbath in their eyes.--Indianapolis
