Economic Articles
By Leland Ods, Federated Press
Money Doctors Know 1t

Don't be fooled by all this talk
about stock speculation being due to
excessive brokers loans and the cure
being achieved by manipulation of the
federal reserve rediscount rate on
loans. 1t all deals with symptoms in
stead of with the fundamental illness
of the present economic order. The
present fever of stock market gam
bling which has been boosting the
prices of stocks and bonds to unwar-
ranted levels is nothing more than a
symptom of the unjust distribution
of the country's income. The coun-
try's circulatory system is out of or
der.
Too much money is poured into the
treasures of the investing class and
too little is available for consumers.
That is the real trouble. The way to
attack the situation is through an
honest approach to the problem of in
creasing the consumption of goods.
But this would mean little short of a
social revolution.
The business bulletin of the LaSalle
Extension university blurts out the
truth about this big capitalist hum
bug. Probably it would have been

it would be- la the Grass industrial system of today
life is worn less than raw material or machines.
Every year 10000 workers are declared to be the
victims of industrial accidents in this country That
figure represents only those directly injured 1t does
not take into account the families Of the injured
Measured by the family Of five on which economic
statistics usually based this would mean at least
100000 persons affected indirectly by industrial acct
dents.
Nney-eight per cent of these accidents are prevent
able and they are not prevented What an indictment
of modern industry.
A shorter work day would greatly lessen the num-
Der of accidents Accidents happen most frequently
the end of the day when the worker is tired But
a shortr work day would make jobs Would open
the way for wage increases. Modern industry could
nOtthink of anything like that Better lose hundred
billion than do anything that might tend to increase
wages.
Accidets that MAIN and bruse and make workers
fit to work not ire only crimes of modern industry
There the accidents of Sickness broken homes,
the young driven into lives of vice and crime because
of poverty wages The loss of education by the chill
dren of the workers who yean for it. The sentencing
of millions to eternal drudgery.
No money values be placed on these. These are
the injuries to the soul and the heart.
And all of thse things will continue and go on so
long as industry has no soul And if you want to be
convinced that American industry in general has no
soul simply compare the billions OF dividends wrung
from industry every year with the average wage of
millions of American workers which is between $25
and $50 a week.
Industry will have soul only when it is organized.
When service becomes greater achievement than pro-
fit.
Twenty thousand manned in industry every year.
Ten billions of money loss to industry every year be-
cause of these accidents. Thousands of lives and
homes wrecked because of poverty This is capitalism
at its peak of efficiency at the zenith of its develop
ment.

New Ideas for Farmers

Industrial chemistry hopes to ne
gotlate an alliance between agricul-
ture and manufacture to open up a
new decentralized social order. Chem
lists of the American institute of
chemistry meeting at Northwestern
university, Chicago, painted this pros
pect. Whether the development would
be controlled by farmers seeking CO.
operativeiy to utilize the waste pro-
ducts of agriculture or by the capital
list chemical industry rendering tbs
farmers tributary to its power was
not dec;uCd.
The most complete olCture o. such
new social order came from c. B.
Sw Grey of Iowa State College. He
described the corn belt as a vast
sponge absorbing heat units from the
sun and storing them IN chemical
compounds. From these compounds,
he said, experts may extract power
and raw materials for decentrailzed
industrial system in which the high
cost of distribution and congestion of
population would disappear.
Sweeney spoke of 10000 industrial
products to be derived from ~ corn
stalks, corncobs, oat chaff, cotton,
seed hulls, peanut hulls, straw and
other waste produced on Farms 70 tne
extent of billion tons annually
Among the products ne named a
substitute for gasoline, paper, rayon
or artificial silk. fire proof tile, syn
thetic lumber, etc. He pictured Lural

Admitting that he had no doubt
that democratic postmasters in Geor-
gia had been regularly contributing
to the republican state and local par
ty organization there, Postmaster
General New, testifying before the
Observation-Disclosures subcommittee of
the senate committee on postoffices
and post roads, charged that these
same postmasters had been made to
contribute to the democratic cam
paign chest under the democratic ad-
ministration.
Chairman Brookhart declared the
subcommittee would ask legislation
that would stop all political collection
from postmasters. He added that his
subcommittee would hand over to
New a card catalog of Georgia past
masters who had been paying about
90 of their salaries to the state re-
publican organization as shown in
testimony taken at Atlanta.

more circumspect if written for any
but business eyes.
"New capital flotations are not
nearly large enough to absorb the
surplus of investment capital that is
available" says the bulletin. "The
real reason why so much money and
credit have been going into refund
ing issues and stock market opera
tons is that our present capital as
sets provide greater productive ca
pacity than our present consumptive
demand justifies. And instead of try
ing to throttle the stock market we
should be bending our efforts toward
increasing the consumption of goods
so that not only our present produc-
tive capacity but even a much larger
capacity could be utilized in the ma
king of goods for current consump-
tion."
That is the objective of the labor
movement. Such a program would
solve the problem of unemployed la
Dor as well as unemployed capital.
Both would fade away if the national
life were administered in the interest
of the workers rather than for the
benefit of small class of profiteers.

Westinghouse ever there was a
moment when Luis N. Morones, head
of the Mexican Regional Confedera-
ton of Labor and vice president of
the Pan-American Federation of La

attack on Morones in the editorial

and the "aggrressions of Mexican la
Dor under Morones' leadership" He
read also a New York Times editorial
which depicted a struggle between
the labor and peasant elements in
Mexico, and attributed the anti-Mo-
