HISTORY .... and laws
The key to the future lies in the
study of the past. If you want to
know whether this, that or the other
scheme for saving mankind from '
the consequences of its own folly
will work, read history.
From time immemorial people
have had a belief in the magic: of
laws. Laws can make people gopd,
or so they believe. The prohibition '
I laws were going to make everybody ?
temperate. <
Two thousand anc more years
ago the Greek philosopher PJato ?
wrote: "How charming people are! i
Are they not as good as a play? 1
Trying their hands at legislation 1
and imagining that by reforms they
will make an end to the dishones- 1
ties and rascalities of mankind!" <
Solomon the Wise said much the <
same thing; so did Saint Paul, ro- e
day, as in the past, it is impossible
to legislature avarice, selfishness i'
and greed out of the human race.
PLANS always selfish ?
Men of invagination have tried e
their hands from the earliest days si
at working out plans for the Perfect
State, in which everybody w
would be happy and concented. d
Plato, Francis Bacon, Sir Thomas w
More, Edward Bellamy and many Jl
others have written fascinating
books telling how a planned econo- si
my would operate. si
None of inem ever worked, be- ci
cause ail ot these schemes nave J
been oased oh the iuea that the
mass 01 humanity is imbued wiui R
elemental justice and wants every- sc
body to have a square deal. The
fact is that few 01 us care whether M
the other fellow gets a square dear 111
or not. If we get what we want,
whether squarely or otherwise, the vi
other fellow can have what's left,
provided some one else doesn't get s0
it first. ?
NATURE steps in te
The trouble with all human plan- H
ning is that there are always incalculable
factors which may upset all m
the Dlans. Nobodv can ever be sure
that he has taken all of them into ri'
lp
account.
w<
For example, the plans of the
AAa lor reduction ox wheat ana ^
corn acreage were all very well? ..
[yi
if anyone could have taken the la
weather into account. But Nature
stepped in and did in one grand .
wholesale effort what the Govern- '
ment was trying to do with the
cooperation of millions of farmers.
The drought in the Northwest cut
down production and sent prices up Fj
more speedily and more effectively sp
than any human plan could possibly R
have done it.
The main trouble in getting plans is
lor the benefit of humanity to work, M
however, is that you never can get
everybody to agree to travel in the aI
same direction at the same speed. ^
That can only be done by force. In v
private business the force is the
threat of loss of employment if one H
doesn't do team-work. Government
can compel general compliance with
any plan only by fines, imprison- v
ment and, if those fail, machine
guns. ' B
That sort of enforced cooperation ^
is only possible under a dictatorship.
v
RUSSIA .... then and now P
I knew the Grand Duke Alexander
of Russia, cousin of the last c
Czar, pretty well. That is, I met B
him a number of times at the
homes of New York friends, and v
had numerous conversations with s<
him. I have just finished re-reading v
his book, "Once a Grand Duke,"
and I am again convinced that the s'
common people of Russia enjoyed
a great deal more liberty under the
Romanoffs than they have had
since the revolution under the So- 1
yiets.
The only things the Czarist gov- 8
ernment demanded of them was f
that they keep order among themselves
and pay their taxes.
Now the poor Russion people arc e
compelled to live according to a
prepared plan, to conform to stan- _
dards imposed upon them whether
they like them or not. They arc
punished if they protest. Under the J
Czars the newspapers of Russia enJoyed
greater liberty of expression
than those of almost any other ?
Continental rtation. Now the press 1
is muzzled and the people have no
voice. 1
I have not heard that they are r
happy.
SECURITY .... rather limited
The whole idea back of most
plans for the regimentation of people
Is the redistribution of wealth
and the equalization of the econom- 1
1c status of everybody. That is why \
every such plan is accompanied by 1
tironocanria against the wen.lt.hv r
and the means whereby wealth has
been accumulated. ^
The plea Is always tht everybody \
Is entitled to equal economic security.
That is so contrary to hu- ]
man experience, in which there has 1
never been any such thing as econo- ]
Warrcntoii, No
mic security lor anybody, that it can
only work so long as the dictatorship
which enforces the plan is in
iuli power. Eventually, every experiment
of that kind?and they
have been tried many times in this
world's history?ends with the collapse
of the plan and a return to
the ancient system under which the
competent get more than the incompetent,
the industrious more
than the lazy, and the competent
and industrious have to take care
of the others.

A Large Increase Br
Pontiac operations this year havt fll
ieen on a highly satislactory bash, BB
iccording to E. E. Gillam. Produc- ^B
ion has been far above last year, ^B
vith two months out of the lira ^B,
ive breaking all monthly prcduc- ^B
ion records since 1929.
It was the production ot uan ^B
;ars in March and 15.063 m
>oth record breaking months, that I
;ave to Pontiac dealers throughout I
he country the cars that made it I
tossible to show the general a.
irease in sales.
"Although figures lor the month B|
if May are not available," said M- I
jillam, "sales reports compiled at I
he factory show that mote Pom I
iace were delivered in April than I
n March, that April ol this year
vas ahead of April of 1933 and that
he first four months this year ^Bl
tave been ahead of the same pertoi
if a year ago.
"The enthusiastic manner IB
vhich the motoring public
lought Pontiacs this year is very IV
(leasing. It shows clearly that the IV
tmerican people have regained IB

"Pontiac engineers sensed keenly |B
he desire of the public lor size, IB
omfort, power and economy when IB

inued Mr. Gillam. "Although the iV
rheelbase is a generous 117 1-4 MB

ction front springs give to its oc- IB
upants the riding qualities ol 130 IB
