There would not be any polit- ical country, competition might be individual and more easily , controlled and guided, but nat- {ional rivalry would have no place in world economy. According to legend if you like, or the Bible if you will, nationalism started with the Tower of Babel, and has gone i 1 a and there are lots in town so pretty strong since. Brisk meth- ods of communication, means of transportation do not seem to have lessened it. Trade seems to have fostered it. It is passing strange, taking the easiest illus- tration, that the Canadian finds the American (not the correc word) a perfectly fine chap, anc vice versa, but each puts in the others way all the blocks known to statesmanship and science. And it might be worked out conclusively that nationalism is one of the factors that make the wealthy richer and the im- poverished poorer. Certainly, the waving of the flag has fre- quently made the voter ballot against his own commercial in- terests. We have said more than once before, that we are not provii. point by point what we say, be- cause we are merely writing a weekly series of ideas, how to end depression, leaving the proof to you, hoping that you may give thought to the pall that has settled on you and all of wus, a pall that is. permanent even though the odd beam of sun- shine filters through once in a while. Heonomists will take a chart, and for a period of a hundred years, show you what they call araphs. These graphs will dem- onstrate lean years, panic years, moderately good and peak years, but back we come to the most universal depression ever known. If these graphs could show that once we were so foolish that we had depression, then we become wiser, and attained mod- erate prosperity, and then be- come so wise that panics, in- equalities were abolished, then we -would say that there was hope.
