New York, Dec. 29 (UP)-World- . wide violation of the simple eco- homie law of supply and demand is. in the opinion of Walter C. Teagle, president of the Standard Oil con- pany of New Jersey. the reason millions are out of employment.
 Speaking under the auspices of the presidents emergency employ mont committee recently, Teagle said the shortages created by war demands started an unprecedented period of activity, invention. and construction.
 Now, he said, it is found that more was produced than the world was able to consume.
 Great surpluses of sugar. coffee, rubber, wheat and other commodi- ties must disappear before the called upon again 10 work full time to meet normal requirements" he declared.
 Artificial stimulation created the surpluses of raw material, he add ed. and even government attempts to maintain prices of certain prod ucts by storing excess stocks proved unsuccessful.
 The remedy" he continued, Ties in an understanding of the not successful in staying the opera ton of the law of supply and de- mand. A decline in prices to cost or below should serve as a, h.tice 10 reduce production, rather than to create surpluses."
 Many forces are at work to pro- duCe d cure for unemployment. The financial situation is becoming sounder daily, he said, and neces- sary buying will soon have to in crease in volume.
 Never before has the periodical recurrence of unemployment in American industry encountered such determined and united effort for its permanent solution" he concluded. The history Of our commercial cX- pansion has not been one Of steady growth, but or alternating cras Of great strides forward, followed by recessons and general stagnation, which we now recognize were the periods Of preparation for greater achievements in the future. The present painful experience is one Of these relapses from which We will undoubtedly emerge with greater strength and more prosperity than ever"

 Enough to Feed Hungry

Chicago. Dec. 29 UP) - Judge ! John II. Lyle wants to be elected mayor so he can drive out the l bunglers and knaves and stop Chi cago from spending so much mon- ey," he told the United Press recent ly in an interview.
 "The city governmental machine in itself is all right" said Judge l Lyle, Chicago's fieriest anti-crime campaigner Its the operators of the machine. Too many Of them are 1 unprincipled and crooked. "They arc the reasons that enough money is thrown away by the municipal government every year 10 feed all of the hungry men l in the citys bread lines"
 Judge Lyle has gained national reputation in the past few months as a dispenser of quick and vigor- i ous justice. His policy of Go out and get 'em and slam 'cm in jalI' has provided discomfort for many gangsters.
 "Criminals, gangsters, racketeers and their kind have defacod the name of Chicago with their reign of terror" the militant judge de- cIared. "Wc spend s2o, ,o0o.o00 a year to run the Cook county gov- ernment
 We hire 99 judges. 1,5oo bailiffs and other attaches of the courts and 5000 policemen. How much progress arc they making in the battle against crime?
 "Somethine ought to be done about it. That's why I'm running for mayor. And if I'm elected. some thing will be done.'
 Political leaders were reluctant to discuss Judge Lyle's chances Of becoming mayor. Several powerful factions have combined 10 prevent Mayor William Hale Thompson from being re-nominated on the re- publican ticket and they may sup port Judge Lyle.
 Friends of the crime-fl fighting judge are dubious, however, over whether he will receive the support of certain groups aligned with the city hall. The judge won't talk business" about awarding contr cts and such things, they point out.
