Federal Reserve Head Says
US. Capitalism Declining

WASHINGTON-Behind a cloud
Of talk concerning immigration and
lower birth rates and the POSSIBLE
ity" of controlling the forces of
capitalism, Eugene Meyer, governor
of the Federal Reserve Board, openly
admitted that the future perspective
for American capitalism was one Of
decline
in a statement TO the House Com
mittee on Finances concerning the
operation of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation, Meyer made the
following admission:
II think that as we are more ma
lure our growth will be less rapid.
With less immigration and lower
birth rate, and those violent charac-
teristics of rapid growth out of the
way. our future growth should be
more controlled, and should lie in
the direction of greater stability.
i think that the growth we have
considered as normal in the past
has been at the rate of per cent
compounded. / think that it may be
less in the future"
The report of the activity of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
revealed the billions in loans that
the Hoover government, supported by
the Democrats, has made to the
bankers and railroads.
1t fully exposed the hypocrisy
behind the cry which the bankers
are raising in connection with the
payment of the tombstone bonus to
the veterans as payment to privi-
legged group" Meyer reported that
more than 1919 banks had received
loans on practically no, or worthless,

Coming directly from crisis-ridden
United States to England, which has
been in crisis since the close of the
war, newly appointed Ambassador
Mellon delivered his first London
speech, pleading piulully that the
breakdown Of the capitalist system
is due to its youthfulness.
Mellon admitted that there exists
the painful spectacle Of men willing
to work but unable to exchange their
services for the food and clothing
hey need, which the world now pro-
duces in such abundance" But he
offers NJ definite idea of how this
tremendous contradiction which has
thrown fifty million out OF work in
The capitalist world can be done
he looks back forty years ana says
away with under capitalism. Instead
there were crises then, and still we
recovered. He refers to the fact that
there have been cycles of good times
and bad times and Therefore says that
he has hopes"
The basis Of his defense OF mis- Sys-
tenn Of unemployment, hunger and
war is the supposed infancy Of the
capitalist system. Yet, his reference
to past crises is a reminder that this
is the worst crisis capitalism has yet
faced Instead of improving with
age, or with infancy, as Mellon would
have us believe, capitalism is OBJ
yiously getting wrose and worse.
The very same day that Mellon
spoke in London, a marker with at
least as great authority as a capital

by Mayor Buckingham OF Bridgeport
and held last Friday, was forced to
listen to delegation of the Unem-
ployed Council of Connecticut. The

condemning the lack of relief. pre-
scented the following demands:

and lodging for the State Hunger
Marchers
The demands OF the unemployed
threw CONSERVATION into the ranks
of the Mayors of over so cities and
towns. Mayor Murphy Of New Ha-
ven, leader OF the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor, made a bitter attack
on the Unemployed Councils accus-
ing them of setting race against
race. When asked what was being
done for the unemployed workers in
New Haven, he said he did not want
to talk about the present but about
the future.
All Mayors agreed that only a
small number of the unemployed
were receiving relief. They all agreed
that the number of unemployed
workers was continuing to increase,
that the crisis is deepening and that
no change for the better could be
expected for the winter of 1928.
All Mayors expressed fear as to
what the unemployed would do,
Mayor Maloney of Meridian said that
something must be done or else
something will happen. He referred
to the statement of the Unemployed
Councils saying that it was the
voice of the unemployed in the State
and that it could not be ignored.
The Unemployed Councils Of Conn.
are going ahead with the prepara-
tons for the State Hunger March
which is to take place on May 10th.

Ayear ago you would have de-
scribed Lyolene as one Of those
rather obscure Paris couturiers,
but today no such description
fits. Lyolene is one of the bet
ter known designers, sprung into
prominence the last few months
through merit alone. For there
are. several Lyolene suits and
coats about the Paris and Amer
ican market that are decided
favorites, and that have influ-
enced the whole trend Of fash
ion, and it will be our pleasure
to- show some of them in this
column in the near future.

that we have had sketched to-

copy. It is close kin to the
military suit that you will see
many times this spring, and
there are also some coats some

military features about it The

wide belt is another, and the

accompany many coats and
suits from that house, and they

through the buttons that are
also on the side.
Black Takes Yellow
A new material appears in
this suit, a heavy crepey weave
that looks like crepe Elizabeth,
but is thicker and heavier,
though Just as smooth. 1t is
smart because it is supple and
soft, yet it is said to be wash
able, too, which is almost too
much to expect of any one
fabric. The colors are yellow
combined with brown, or a
still newer union, yellow with
black. 1t also comes in char
treuSe with brown. The pockets
are a convenience as we'll as
