PROSPECTS FOR
1928 ARE SAFE,
EXPERTS VIEW
Continuation of Present
Business Forecast by
Irving Fisher.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer
(Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The ma
jority of the American people are
not any too prosperous. but each
year adds a few more to the pros
perity class and 1928 should be no
exception.
This assertion is made by Prof,
Irving Fisher of Yale, often regarded
as this nations outstanding political
economist.
Because one-half the incomes of
the population amount to 81 100 a
year or less, Professor Fisher pro-
tests against sweeping claims that
our people are prosperous as a whole.
AS judged by standards set up by
such agencies as the United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics, he says,
the majority of them are poor.
Better Than Europe
Only small fraction of the in
come class, he points out, will ever
be put to the test of prosperity,
against which President Coolidge
recently warned More than 90 per
cent of incomes are less than $4,000
a year.
But the most important point, ("
says Professor Fisher, lis that our
people are prosperous when COM
pared with the peoples of other ma
tons. From that standpoint, we are
getting along very well.
eve come nearer than anyone else
RI tho standards IF it,nnY,an
ing set up by the labor bureau. And
we are making more and more head
way.
Thus, although it is not fair to
say that all CT us are in this sense
prosperous, it is a fact that more of
us are becoming prosperous each
year"
Sees Little Change for 1928
In an exclusive interview, Profess
sor Fisher admitted that probably
little more unemployment exists
than is generally realized, but ex-
pressed the belief that 1928 would
be at least as satisfactory a year
from the standpoint of bushes and
industry as was 1927.
One Of the ways by which cycle
/ Of depression begins, of course, is
/ by combination of unemployment,
lowered purchasing power and de-
creaSing price levels.
Price levels have not been quite
/ stable in the last two years, Pro-
feSSor Fisher agrees, and hence en-
| ployment has somewhat decreased.
But any dangerous repetition of the
! so-called business cycle has been
headed off for the present, he be-
lieves, because the beginning of this
year found the price level nearer to
sterilization with an improved en-
ployment situation. The reason:
eve have had, roughly speaking,
stable purchasing power of the
| dollar, which tends toward stability
of prosperity" explains Professor
Fisher.
Il am rather optimistic about 1928
isn't it about time for prices to
drift back toward pre-war levels?"
I asked Professor Fisher.
NO. he replied IF we want tC
avoid trouble we had better stick tc
the price level we have now. Price
levels suddenly dropped in 1920 and
1921; we had a serious period of de-
preston in 1921 and 1922. If that
movement had taken the price level
all the way back to pre-war, conse-
quences to our industries and oul
workers might have been appalling.

new RELIGION y
NEED CITED AT
RACE CONCLAvE
Forgiveness of Sin Doctrine
Declared Harmful in
Biological Way.
By United Press

By UHited Press
BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Jan. S.
The Battle Greek race betterment
conference attended by several
hundred earnest and eminent men
and women scientists, drew toward
a close today, with the assembled
practitioners bordering blunt pro-
that they had begun
their task of promoting health and
happiness from the wrong end.
Scholarly papers on genetics,
eugenicS, life expectation, and'
animal experimentation had been
presented, when, suddenly and with
out warning, Dr. Alfred Scott War;
thin, distinguished director of the
pathological laboratory of the Uni
versity of Michigan arose.
New Religion Needed
From the trend of the papers
being read here" he asserted, "one
would take this to be a race
deterioration conference, rather
than a race betterment discussion.
The trouble is that you have begun
at the wrong end.
what really is needed is a new
religion and a new philosophy of
life.
Mans old religions, though they
are passing, are reacting upon his
environment dangerously. They
take no account of the fact that
reproduction is the sole aim of
existence.
Born of religion is the doctrine
of forgiveness of sin. That has done
more harm biologically than any
other thing in the world.
forgiveness will not remove from
the bodies of young men and women
the traces of deadly germs, associ-
ated with social diseases that re-
main to manifest themselves years
later in defective offspring. For
giveness is not a curative measure"
Takes Rap at Love
Having thus handled religion, DR..
Warthin stated love was an under
mining influence.
IF the race is to be improved, "
he said, "the choice of life mate
on the basis of love or sex attrac-
ton must stop.
ut is necessary that young men
and women, before entering into
marriage, inquire into each others
family histories to determine the
presence or absence of factors
which, when inherited by the Off
sp 3, may strengthen or weaken
the race"

Weather conditions probably will

He said divers would go down as

but that a brisk northwest wind
and choppy sea threatened to balk
salvage workers today.
Three bodies already have been
taken from the hull.

From an engineering standpoint
The Victory is radically new, radi-
cally different and thoroughly orig
inal-iS literally years ahead of its
time in many vital features.
In a very real sense, too, it COM
pares with no other Car or class,
because NO car, either here or
abroad, provides features that are
comparable. To enjoy these advan-
tageS you must buy THIS car, for
elsewhere they simply do not exist.
Revolutionary Ne4U
Principles of Design

ton of the automobile, the chassis

OLD ANT|-HOOVER
ATTACKS DUG UP
Robinson Goes Into Records
of Past to Revivify G. O. P.
Leaders Views.
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
CLOVIS, N. Mex, October Gutter
ances on Herbert Hoover by Republican
leaders in days gone by have been dug
out Of dust-covered files by Senator Joe
Robinson for use in his campaign in the
Southwest.
During his three-day drive through
Oklahoma, his swing through the pam
handle of Texas and his opening speech
In this State last night, the Democratic
vice presidential nominee has brought
into play many quotations from those
high in the councils of the Republican
party which, he argues, support his con-
tention that the reign of Republicanism
IN Washington should be ended.
Mr.. Robinson, who today moves on to
Roswell for a second address in New
Mexico, has dug out of the Congress
sional Record statement by Senator
Borah of Idaho, now campaigning for
Hoover, that the Republican presidential
nominee while serving as food admins
traitor under Woodrow Wilson had per-
mitted three vast monopolies which con-
troll food in this country with relation
to their commodities to fix their own
prices.
Another BOrah Quotation.
Further, he quotes the Idahoan as
saying at another time that Mr.. Hoover,
who violated the most fundamental
principles of the Constitution of this
country, will not have very much regard
for statute in Europe"
The Democratic candidate also de-
clares that Representative Wood of In
diana, chairman of the Republican con-
gress1onal campaign committee, in re-
ferring to Hoover's work as adminiStra-
tor. once said, Il deny that we have an
American at the head of this distribu-
ton committee"
Further Robinson declares that Sena-
tor Simeon Fess of Ohio, who sounded
the keynote at the Republican national
convention at Kansas City, was quoted
In the press on February 4. 1928, as hav-
ing said that Hoover must be greatly
embarrassed in seeking nomination at
the head of party he conspired to de-
feat in 1918"
Finds Groups of Arkansas Friends.
During his swing through the South
west Mr.. Robinson has found in many
cities groups of former Arkansas citi-
zens who are out working for Joe t.
as he is known in his home State. At
Amarillo yesterday the Senator said,
THE further get from home, the more
people 1 find from Arkansas. The only
thing that puzzles me-" he added with
q smile, is why they left Arkansas"
In all of his speeches in the South
west the Senator is opening up on those
opposed to Gov Smith because of his
membership in the Catholic Church,
contending that opposition on this
ground cannot be justified either by the
Constitution or by reason.
Mr. Robinson reached Clovis last
night on special train from Amarillo,
after Santa Fe Railroad officials found
that a boiler explosion on the engine
of the train to which his cars were to
have been attached would delay that
train and thereby make the Senator
late for his speech.
