REED ASSAMS CON-
TROL BY GOVERNMENT
IN ST. LOUIS SPEECH

Washington, June 16.-Government
control over business as exemplified by
the packer control bill now before
congress. was termed "a government
oligarchy of socialism" by Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri, speaking
before members of the St. Louis cham
Der of commerce at a luncheon here
today. The whole policy Of government
control, which, he said, amounted to
control by one or several individuals
over an entire industry, was assailed
by the senator, who predicted for it,
tragic failure"
Declaring the present tendency is to-
wards "centralizing the control Of the
entire country in Washington" Senator
Reed said he could see nothing but the
greatest peril ahead, if it be granted
that the government may take charge
Of industries on the ground that they
produce the necessities OF life. There
IL hardly a limit to the number Of in
iustries which would fall in such 9
class, he said.
"If then, we adopt that principle,
the senator continued, lit follows thai
there is absolutely no limitation to th'
power of governmental control over thu
entire business of the land. In a word
we are asked to embark upon policy
Of socialism, if the business Of thu
country is all TO be brought within
the control of a few individuals 10
Gated in the city Of Washington, pos
sessing the most arbitrary and drasti
covers, which they exercise in acocr'
with their own will and please. Suci
a scheme is after all a government oil
garchy of socialism carried to the ex
treme. 1t goes much farther than th
socialism established by Kaiser vii
helm 4 and in my judgment vii
be worse than the socialism advocate
by Karl Marx.
Against this policy, utter th
most vehement of protests. Against
I warn not only the business man bu
the people at large. This policy, /
entered upon, will. in my judgment
impair the very fundamentals Of civi
lization and destroy the right Of tn
citizen to engage in business and t
control it under the law and in &C
cordance with his judgment"

EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES

How much unemployment is there
in the country?
HON much reduction has there been
in wages?
How much has the cost of living
fallen?
Answers to these questions have
been various and conflicting. Con-
siderable light has been thrown
on the whole subject of deflation by
Rowland Thomas, writing in the
New York World. He presents an
analysis of conditions known to exist
in 22 leading industries on the first
of April, 1921, and arrives at the
following conclusions:
For the groups of factories repre-
scented, which may perhaps be taken
as typical Of American industry in
general there is a 25 per cent re-
duction in employment and a 80
per cent shrinkage in the total pay
roll.
The decrease IN pay amounts az
most, he says, to only 9 per cent in
the weekly earnings Of the en-
ployes who retain their jobs. When
the fact is considered that those who
are working usually do not put in
full time, the actual wage reduction
in rate OF pay per hour is found to
be practically imperceptible."
There is no evidence, he says. that
more than 100000 factory workers
have lost their Jobs. Figures for
non.factory occupations are not avail
able. He intimates, however. that
estimates OF 100000 people out OF
employment are much exaggerated.
Wholesale prices had declined a
per cent from their peak OF May, 1920
and the cost Of living had declined IL
per cent since last June. Obviously
wages so far have fallen much less
than the cost OF living.
The figures are not quite up &c
date. There have been addiuona
wage reductions lately, particularly
those Of the United States Steel cor
rporation, which are reflected through
out the whole steel industry. Railroad
cuts, too, viii soon go into effect
Meanwhile the cost Of living stin tend'
downward, though more slowly.
Labor evidently must take consider
able wage reductions in every oecu
patton where It has not yet done sc
When such reductions are effected
low prices can be stabilized and pro
duction resumed. Acceptance OF th
necessary cuts should result in wor
for everybody before long. unde

show. To be sure this would require
many ''readjustments,' but theS
could be made. We seldom realize
adequately the hugeness of our ma
tional wealth.
While the daily average in volume
Of these banking transactions showed
20 per cent increase, this does not
mean a commensurate increase IN
sales of goods. If it had the stock
market would have gone up like a
rocket. No one expects such a swift
turn for the better in some time to
come, although it is confident bus
mess opinion now that the 1aii
months are going to bring marked i'm
provement in commercial activity.

THE AMERICAN CREED

I believe in the United States of
America as a government of the
people, by the people, for the peo'
pie, whose just powers are derived
from the consent of the governed; a
democracy in a republic, a sovereign
Nation of many sovereign States;
perfect Union, one and inseparable,
established upon those principles of
freedom equality, justice and hui
manity for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to
my country to love it; to support its
Constitution; to obey its laws; to
respect it's flag; and to defend it
against all enemies.
