PROBLEMS AHP:A1), PEACE OK WAR Europe rapid! yis approaching a point where war may be nec essary, says the United States News of Washington. Explanation: More and move of the national economy of ma jor nations is devottnl to war preparation: is dri\iiig iiations toward bankruptcy; is bringing near the time when the arms must be used or internal trou bles develop in Britain and France as well as in Germany and Italy. Result: The drift is toward war now or at a ru)t-far-distant tims unless the Bi’itish are to give up without a fight. The alternative: A negotiated peace that would in itself raise Immense problems, A check to war preparation would release millions of men from jobs;! would lead to a competitive, scramble for markets that could in itself lead to a cause for new- trouble. Background: Germany freed from the demand of war preparation, would no longer face desperate nesd for foreign exchange to obtain steel, copper, j eighth district was included in res oil and other basic materials: o'utions adopted by the young Dem- THE POCKETBOOK of KW0W1.EDCE ijfa DK'KEASfP GOVERNMENT «;PENP1MG If, THE FIRST RrOUlRfAAEfJT INCRFA9FP PROSPFRiT!:: (>6«CENT OF THOSE Q06STI0HED N» RSCEKT SURVE/ Nhmeo oec^iAsta m'cOhMfnT SPenoiNf ,'5 THE FIRST tieauiREMENT for NCREASED PROSPtRlTy 0/AY 6 PSRCBNT rH0U6HT IT eHouiO Be iNO)eAS£Oi 1 6cT TK » make ■fME EIABORATE CAN0PIE4 PUT OVFR TM« 8C» IN the LA»T CENTURy WERE MORE THAN ORNAMENTAl...TA/fV Wf^fUStO TO protect SlFFPeRi FHOM /NSFCTS An/P $jjss THAT Feu FftoM rue ceiLiKis / along witli your regular state li- cenee.

Result: Either peace or war has its problems, NOTHING FOR NOTHING “Nothing comes from doing nothing,” wrote Shakespeare- The Bard of Avon died some three centuries ago, but his ad vice seems more necessary to day than ever before. For the first time, in our American his tory at least, a substantial group of citizens have come to believe that they are entitled to some thing for nothing. They feel that the world, as exemplified by their government, owes them a living. They are quite convinc ed that no responsibility de volves upon them to save, to work, to think, to plan. Well, it is time they learned otherwise. For the country has spent billions providing some thing for nothing, and about the only result is a tax and debt burden that is throttling our productiveness, and a new “class” holding out their hands for more money they did noth ing to earn. We’ve squandered a great deal more than we can af ford already, to learn that “Nothing comes from doing nothing” ocratic voters of Lexington and vi cinity last week. They also endorsed the administration of President Roosevelt, the New Deal, and State and county arministratlons.

SOME GROUNDS FOR OPTIMISM A glance at the various bus iness barometers—and a cursory reading of the more experienc ed annalists and forecasters— produces some grounds for op timism. For several months in dustrial conditions have been improving. And the “conserva tive” tendency shown by the last rebellious Congress in its closing week has proven to be an excellent psychological fac tor. Congress didn’t do what business asked—the fact is that it left an unusual number of majcAr problems untouched— but most business men think there has been a healthy change in attitude on the part of many Senators and Representatives. Most significant recent event in the business world has been a fairly sharp rise in the index of durable goods production- Heavy industry almost alw'ays goes down first when a “depres sion” or a “recession” is pendin r and almost alvv^ays goes up last when we are on the verge of a “recovery” movement. In June durable goods production jump ed about ten points, and later figures indicate that the bet terment has continued. Production of consumers’ goods, major barometer of the “light industries,” started up wards several months ago, by and large, has held its course. As retail sales figures show, consumer purchasing power in most areas is relatively good. Improvement is also evident in that all-important field—em ployment- According to Busi ness Week, employment gained 400,000 in a recent month—big gest increase for that month in ten years. This upward trend in jobs, say most of the economists, should continue well into .fall and perhaps longer Looking at specific industries, there seem to be a few black spots. Home building has final !y tended downward, by compar ison with last year, but the re- •iuction in interest rates put into “ffect by FHA is expected to slow and possibly change the downward trend. Automobile production is low just now, but \ sharp rise in output will set •n soon, as the new models flow- off the assembly lines. Retail in ventories in most lines are low, which is always a good sign There has been a fairly substan tial amount of new security fi nancing And electric power out put, in the light of the season, is at an excellent level. Big question mark is whether the reductions in WPA appro priations (from $2,200,000,000, the amount spent in the year ending June 30, to about $1,570,- 000,000, the amount appropriat ed for the current fiscal year) and the consequent cut in WPA employment will have a serious "deleterious effect on business. Hope is that private capital, en- ■'0"ra'?ed by the relative econ- omv-spirit shown bv Concrress, tqke up the slack. Many feel that, for the first time, in dustry has a chance to prove ♦^hat large-scale deficit-spending bv the government is no longer necessary to support the nation. % $ 2 . a ,026 lot of ,3 4 6 is money r Sure, It's a lot of money — yet, our taxes of all kihda amounted to that sum for 1938. We’re not fussing about taxes — you couldn’t run K city, state or government without them. But the higher they mount, the less able we arc to reduce the cost of our service to you, because a large part of the money you pay us for electric service is paid right out in taxes. In 1938 our taxes were Equal to $1,S74 per average employe. Equal to $20 per average cus tomer served. . Equal to $S,SSO for every day in the year.
