10 rT jXUo r T a r - THIS . WEEK - ."J SBaasaaBBSSBBi ' "'' Something About Billioni :.. New Can . New From Ethiopia " Silas H. Strawn, once head of the 'American Bar association and pres- Ident of the United .' States Chamber of Commerce, says ' tbe country la Rending , $7,000 ' a minute, and thinks It la too much. Xour small ; boy will tell yon now much 17,000 minute make In one year. Once "an the world wondered.1: -or-at least we did, when there , was Arthur Brlabaa talk of spending one-quarter of billion on tbe Panama canaL Now, ny professor could spend that, aft er three minutes' thinking, and news that the nation' deficit has in creased fifteen hundred millions in the past few weeks startles nobody. The work has passed through earthquake week. Earthquakes in Montana, greatest sufferer on thle continent Severe shocks are re ported in Slam. Earthquakes in Buffalo, N. X.; Ottawa, Toronto, Guayaquil, Ecua dor; a busy selsmographtc week. And the moon Is partly to blame. Its power of gravitation exercises strong pull on the earth, as it shows in lifting the ocean tides. Dr. Harlan T. Stetson, of Harvard, aay the moon.. causes "sub-surface adjustments) of tbe earth." " " The new cars of 1936, now on ex aibltlon, are so extraordinarily1 beautiful that every American should see them, regardless of In tention to buy a new car. . Most en couraging Is the determined energy that business men and engineers of the automobile industry have shown in fighting the depression, while Im proving that which seemed beyond improvement. Rome gives confirmation of the slaughter of six thousand women and children by Ethiopian warriors taking vengeance on the fathers tf the children who deserted to Italy, Rome also reports the killing of five hundred Ethiopians by Italian bomb ing planes, "an attempt to as sassinate Halle Selassie by an un named American negro." Halle Selassie of Ethiopia has "flung the last available man into the battle line," relying on old men, young boys and women to run his government, reminding you of the late czar's announcement that he was going to send "his last monjlk." He did not live to do that. The national effort to "buy our selves ont of the hole" encounters difficulties. The President, to make his four billions cash spread as far as possible, announced top wages of $03 a month. But union labor says, "No; you must pay us full union wages," and New York may have state-wide strike to back the de mand. President Roosevelt, it Is said, refuses to concede that public relief is a branch of union labor, and, even with 1936-looming ahead, may Insist that two governments In the country are one too many.w , Greece Is ready to take back her king and many Greeks are growing . "spike" mustaches like bis. Many Germans grew mustaches, curling upward, to imitate their former ka I-! ser. There Is not much in imitat ing mustaches. Ton wonder why the Greeks can not find a Greek for king, if they mrjBt have a king. In days of "the glory that was Greece" It wasnt necessary to go outside among "bar barians" to find a ruler. Ton may want to know that In England, where good times have really come back, tbe Tories have made heavy 'gains at the present election and the Labor party sus tains heavy losses. Ramsay Mac-' Donald, head of Britain's first La bor government, rejoices openly at labor's downfall His .work as prime minister seems to have changed bis opinions. .Experience often changes our minds. "It is a very great rebuff for la bor," say MacDonald. "The peo ple are not being, taken In by wild and reckless, promises which they know cannot be carried out,, in mu nicipal or national governments-," ' Ed Howe, an able writer of Kan sas, 1 expected to--"put aside hi! pencil and pen forever," because his doctor warns him that blind ness is approaching. Perhaps Mr. Howe win tell hi doctor: "Milton did mueh of bis Important writing after be was to tally blind, and ! can do the same.'' Mr, Howe can nse a dictating ma chine, whereas Milton dictated t hi daughters, who, uneducated, found It difficult to write down fcla Latin dictation., 4 - ) Kln F'atnrM SynSlaMtt IM ' X h . --),,; WNUSM-vlw, .... .,...'"., May Follow in ' Father's Footsteps Representative Henry ..

David L. Crawford, president x3-.,'.?.:-,' My FAMOUS WA$::STON tOR.RESPONB.ENT r 'WasliInfton.-i-Evtdence Increases' that there wlU be a real drive for tbe 30-hour week when congress re convenes. In. fact, despite the bit ter opposition of many business men,' particularly, large -employers whose plants require continuous op eration to obtain maximum efficien cy and economy, the probability Is that congress would pass the 80 hour week bill at this session If the union labor leaders were sincerely for It ' Nearly every development Is grist to' the mill of the measure's advo cates. For example,; the latest gov ernment figures show that wage payments a rough -way of stating employment have ' advanced to within .7t. pr,-cent of .normal.' -But production as a result of that em ployment and these ( wages - ha reached Wiper cent of normal. It's technocracy J1 oyer, again the constantly recurring problem of how to pas the work aronnd how to keep enough consumers In funds to purchase the products of the de, creasing number of workers. Many- experts still think that this cycle, far more than the loss of cash by the purchase of foreign bend tbat-later defaulted, and -infinitely more than tbe-stock- market crash, wa responsible for. the eco nomictroubles which began In this country1 In 1920. V'trtki'-v?? No better '"illustration U; of this theory has even been advanced to tbjs writer than What he discovered In Birmingham, in August, 1929. Just a year before, the steel mills of that district had employed 42,000 menV : In August, 1929, they were employing only 24,000 men. But they were turning out more steel I Down-lthe Lini ,.,,, ', In short, 18,000 well paid men'had lost their Jobs,, bad stopped buying at the local department store and other stores. were : wearing old clothes and squeeslng their pennies. Newspapers were forced to cut ex penses because the stores had been forced to cut their advertising. And so ir. went all the way down the line more than two. months before tbe stock market crash. And the same thing was happening In Pitts burgh, Gary, Youngstown. Chicago and Bethlehem.1 The same sort of tLlng. to a greater or lesser extent, was happening in every other Indus try,' which meant that the buying power of the country ; was being dried tip. ' - . ' " But virtually nobody realized it I In the last session, of congress so much sentiment developed for the 80-hour bill that. In the early stages, leader after leader told group of editors Inquiring Into the general legislative situation that they ex pected some modification of the 30 hour measure, It not that Itself, to pass. It did not pass because union labor leaders traded It for the Wag ner labor relations bllL, They far preferred that There are two major, objections to the 30-hour proposal, 'one by tbe big employers and the other by gome -of the very people who believe . that the type of thing Illustrated by the .Birmingham" steel mills not only caused the depression, but has held back the return of prosperity. The objection of the employers, is that It win disrupt .their organisa tions. Thirty hour a week 1 only five 6-hour days.. Such a limitation on, work hours does not fit In readi ly with ahlfts. And of course there Is always (he objection to a blanket raise In wages, boosting production costs.. This last phaae I especially true now because business general ly li concerned over the resentment of housewives in particular and buy ers In genera over advancing prices. The stock market has been rising too rapidly to suit the administra tion. Information to this effect comes from the same source that enabled the ' writer to make this same statement in June, 1933, .when It may be remembered, the adminis tration literally smacked the market down and . took considerable pleas ure In the process. vKwi&FV The administration does not want any such crash at' the moment In fact all It wants Is a small decline, and It doe not want that until aft er January X'AZfii-vly-ffJv'ivK. Tbe significance of this Is that It know ; many business executives plan their budgets around the end of December and at that time lay out their plans for expenditures and expansions during the. year. For this : process - the ' administration wants the business' leaders of the country to have all the' encourage-; ment possible.' Hence It will make no move to Interfere with the boom so evident In the 'market until After . January J:s' '-v"' -;:: Of course the administration even . then does not; want anything ap proaching a . confidence-destroying debacle. It would merely like to see a decline set In which would -carry security prices, stocks In particular, down to a level from which a slow,, creeping progress could be made next summer hnd fall, 1 , , A 1 . Politics Is behind all this. Tbe New pealers fear- If the present boom continues, well through the winter, there l likely to be the nor mal setback in the summer and fall. The effect of this on the country would be precisely opposite to .that desired. The most encouraging sort of stock market movement to the coun try, the New Dealers figure, Is the creeping advance. It Indicate Im proving : business prospects, not 'speculation..' But it cannot -occur, very well, after a big buU move ment ' - 7. , ..'' There's the RubV ; . - Now that is where the rub come In. For despite an this talk about "breathing spell" and reassuring business, every one close to tbe ad ministration knows that there are going to be more taxes after elec tionand that these taxes, assum ing the New Deal Is continued by the voters next November, will fall on business. Especially big business. . Although this I absolutely clear to anyone, no matter bow remote from touch with the White House, who carefully studies the Presi dent's official utterances (he pointed out In the "breathing spell" state ment that no more taxes should be Imposed on the little fellow, already ."burdened by processing. taxes, etc),. It has not been generally appreci ated. , r ,v ' J But by . next 'summer, the New Pealers figure, the gentry who buy and sen 'securities In large, quanti ties, and therefore come pretty close to controlling prices, will realize it Hence they will be Inclined to liqui date their stock holdings, If stock prices at the time happen to be high. V ' . , . ' ' , It la well known that stock prices are controlled by what the hnyers and sellers regard as future pros pect, rather than past performance. Hence the conviction that the con poratlons must shoulder a much greater load of tax burdens will not be helpful to better dividend pros pects.' ,s'.;v:';:: Hang on Farm Plank .-r . " The most significant point about the recent 'poll taken by the Amer ican Press association which shows a considerable fading of tbe Boose velt popularity, ,1s the clear dem onstration, by putting certain un stated points together, that the agri cultural plank of Roosevelt's oppo nent may decide, -whether the New Deal Is- to have four more years, or Is to die on March 4, .1937, -v'. i Most Important in tbe poll Is not the ' fact -that ' the Northeast has turned against President Roosevelt This has been known for some time been generally accepted since the Rhode Island by-election. Nor Is tho fact that New York state is Includ ed. The big point is that the poll shows sentiment against the Presi dent; apparently strobg enough on the returns so far In and as of to day, to Indicate the President might lose the electoral votes in Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and South Da kota. Also Wisconsin. i ' To appreciate the significance of ,tbls, a resort, to electoral" vote Is necessary. In these dispatches some months-back 1t was "pointed out that Roosevelt;, could", lose every state north of the Mason afld Dixon line, and'the Ohio river, and east of the Mississippi, except Wisconsin, and also, lose CaUfornla, - Kansas and Delaware, and stlU have '269 elec toral votes, or three- more than 'enough. ':k'x1k:i-?0!:,J- In abort, be could lose all New England, New York, New Jersey,' Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi ana, Illinois, Michigan, Kansas and California, and still win..' . & t. , At the time this -table . wa pre sented by the writes largely to -shew 1 the tremendous Importance of -New York, and bene the possibility that Tammany Ball could re-elect Roose velt by straining every nerve to get ont the vote, or defeat him by mere apathy.: This was on the theory that upstate New Tork; would probably be about the same la sentiment as Its neighboring .states in. New, Eng. lsnd..HTs,;;.,i:j!.:-vIj :ty& Loie New' .York fc'-'K'S'5'- V; . Thl emphasis on New Tork Is abundantly Justified, by, the recent poll, whlclr indicate New York is against the President Also two of. the trans-MlBslsslppI states Includ ed In the antl list In these dis patches California and Kansaa . So, that the important new point is really Involved In the additional; Middle Western states Iowa, No-; braska, ; Minnesota and A South Da-' kota. Wisconsin may be left to one side. No political observer believes . that Wisconsin will buck over the . traces If the La Follette organiza tion sets out to deliver It to Roose velt Further,, np one has much doubt. at the moment that the La Follette will do' Jut that If there Sboqlfl be any slip-up there, and there should be no material change other-1 wise In the lineup, it will be Just too bad for Roosevelt -i It would mane me rew ueai oatue line so long and . vulnerable' that breaks would be sure to occur somewhere. But these farm states In question, from Nebraska up to Minnesota, may be 'depended upon to go as the intelligent self-Interest of their farm population determines. , - CoprrlthtWNU Strvle. : ; o : .
