What Others Are Saying

The following editorial taken from the Cambridge, N. Y. "Post" of December 30th presents a common sense reaction to the propaganda being carried on by advocates of public ownership of industry. "Advocates of public ownership of industry are active in our country and are attacking private electric power development. They claim there should be a Congressional investigation of power companies. There is no reason why Congress should ·not carryon such an investigation if it deems it in the public inter­ est. On the other hand, there is every reason why agitators should not be permitted, unchallenged to use Congress to bulldoze and bludgeon private industry for their own special ends and as a camouflage designed to encourage the establish­ nlent of socialistic policies in a free and independent country. "The power companies have been criticized for combining openly to fight the program now under way to put the govern­ ment into the power business. Why shouldn't any business or industry fight a political attack which would exterminate it? Why should agitation be encouraged to cripple private enter­ prise in America? Would not private enterprise in the United States be cowardly and failing in its duty to its stockholders, if it did not fight attacks which place in jeopardy the savings of millions of investors? , "Power companies have stated they have no objection to federal or state investigations of their business, but that they wish such investigations conducted in a fair and unbiased manner and by persons not 'politically interested' in the findings. Such an investigation can only result in good to the industry and the public."

lost money. Another reason was that his great work, worldwide in scope, did not closely touch the life and thought of the city. But the chief reason is that his work and character were so unordinary that he was neither understood nor appreciated. It is the old story of the neglect of genius. An eminent man, William T. Hornaday, has written of him- " at all events, after seven years of service with him, after months of his society as a travelling companion and twelve years more of personal correspondence, I still can say that Henry A. Ward is the most remarkable scientific genius I ever knew." It is regrettable that the life-story of this great man has never been adequately told, and no suitable memorial provided. With peculiar modesty he failed, in spite of re­ peated requests, to dictate his memoirs. He was a wonderful raconteur and a charm­ ing writer, and his own story of his travels Dr. Henry A.

ROCHESTER ALUM I REVIEW 75 Reparations and International Debt Settlements on Trial

By JOSEPH H. FOTH Professor of Economics

dence in each other, it developed more friendly relations between the countries, made possible Germany's entrance to the League of Nations and paved the way for the Locarno treaties. In short, the accep­ tance of the Dawes Plan brought about world stabilization. Under the Plan, Germany's reparation payments have been small, the first four years, and have been paid in full. This was made possible only through borrowing abroad. During these years she has not been able to create an export surplus, and is not likely to do so for some years to come. She has been unable to do this, partly because she must have ever increas­ ing imports for her industries and popula­ tion, and partly because her debtor nations refuse to buy her goods. If Germany can­ ndt export 'a surplus equal to her reparation annuity, there is only one other way left open for her. She may produce and save the amount of her reparation annuity ($625,000,000, beginning September 1, Dr. Joseph H.
