Similarly, it is elten pointed out that uncertainty concerning future actions of government affecting industry is also con, tributint; to this same slowing-up process. ' Now it is beginning to become Increasingly clear that the two factors are interrelated. This is the way it 1 works: Individuals, afraid to put. their j i V Iir J lilt V uunim.on cuci ioco, ai(7 deporting the funds with banks or ir>tnrance companies. And these orj sanitations In their turn, seeing that jcgulatory laws ;and high (axes are Clipping httslness today, are putting the money Into government Instead of business securities. They see no alternative: Recently, bidding for government i 'sfturities has grown so active that, , dri a few cases. In the words of the ! > 'hfew York Times, ''the banks which leaned the money actually paid tne Treasury for the privilege of lending it." Why. the reader may well ask, dt.es this trend continue? Simply because t^e only choice Is between government bonds and private Investment ? and the latter. In the face of adverse taxes and legislation and the threat of "more of the same." appears even less attractive. As one observer comments, the situation "indicates rrtmplete confidence In a continued la--k of busttit ss confldtptce." JV> government competition and experimentation stand in the way of pr'.vate investment, the kind of Investment that means jobs and payrolls and better times for all Americans? The answer seems to be pretty plainly written in the record! . t i. Workers Safer At Plants Survey Shows Plttshurn. Pa .lone '20?MM) ?

Spending: Congress really wants 10 curtail spending, but the White Mouse group thinks spending must be continued. The White House Is unwilling to concede that past spend ing has failed to produce the desired results, arguing that recovery Is In sight and can be reached with a continuance of the spenddng program. As observers see the struggle from the' side-lines. Congressional thought 'i being propelled by Mr. Average Citizen (who is paying the hill.) Incidental to this oitualion was an itupuBlicized Saturday nUght stag party in Washington. The party was staged by a potent Administration supporter recently appointed to one of the top-rung Washington Jobs the guest list was made up of all the Inner New Dealers. According to reports, purpose of the party was to lay the groundwork for a systematic campaign to head off the conservative trend of Congress. When the campaign gets underway more third-term talk mnv be heard, as that is part of the pro grm ? to stop the Garner movement . There was more behind the White House dinner-conference with busl ness leaders than was contained in the official explanation offered the press. Many things were discussed, but the whole affair was carefully staged for a s'ngle purpose (which wds not told to the newspapermen). ' Tbaat purpose was to head off amendment of the National Labor Relations Act and to forestall) an investigation the I.bor Board by Congress. It was a move to reconcile business men to an attempted adjustment of the labor act problem through administrative changes rather than a revision < f the law. In other words, hose who planned the conference believe that If business can be "appeased" with promises. there will be no need for Congress to go ahead with Its plan of appeasement by action. ** * Word comes from Ixmdon that the dtritlsh government has been testing TyTTTTyx*3>V'r'y yTTy T*l>lt'll' + -A | GO AWAY WITHOUT J X RENT A SAFE DEPOSI + Do not leave valuables ly 1 when you. leave on your 2 trip.
