Business Stimulated
By u. S. Activities

Government. "a more abundant
life"
That is a tremendous statement.
Think it over.
So it seems that collective
effort on broad lines of social
planning" is to be stressed at this
time.
Money Fight QuietS
On the other hand, the con-
flict on the monetary front has
quieted down. This may be due
in part to the current phase OF
government financing. Govern
ment bonds turned weak again on
Tuesday and Wednesday, and the
bankers are so involved through
large holdings of government
securities that they hesitate to at
tack the Governments money
policies, although very few Of
them regard these as sound.
The Government itself realizes
that its new securities will 60 bet
ter If the dollar is strong.
Furthermore, the gOld-buying
policy has so far had no ap-
preciabIe results on domestic
prices, but has merely weakened
dollar exchange and high grade
bonds.
But the big point is that just
at this time there is a chance
that the various Government
plans of relief, business stimula-
ton, and dollar depreciation, fall
into such a combination that
they will "click" and produce an
explosion of business.
Best Chance In Sight
Just now there is the best
chance of this that has yet
existed.
First, the Governments credit,
though a bit shaky, is still good
The hope Of a considerable in
crease of revenue from the liquor
business helps. The Government
can thus finance its program OF
spending and lending on relative
ly favorable terms.
Second, Government spend
ing has now been stepped up to
large proportions, amounting to
nearly half a billion dollars In
November. The PWA is now going
strong. The CWA has recently
been added, and many millions OF
Government credit are going out
each week to some 100000 per-
sons. Corn, wheat and cotton
farmers are getting their millions
of Government credit.
The "unfreezing" of insolvent
banks and the extension of Gov
ernment credit to thousands OF
weak banks, are now progressing
Lumber and steel are being
bought to anticipate higher code
prices.
So now is the time for al
these conditions to have Gu
mulative effect, and to give u
stimulus.

Another administrative upheaval

ALBANY, N. Y. Aug. 10.-Governor
Lehman today refused point-blank to
put up before the special session Of
the Legislature the question pertain
ing to immediate relief for the I'M
employed, and declared that it is ne
cessary for the unemployed to wait
until the regular session in January
to deal with the question of imme-
oiate relief.
The committees consisting of Ro-
bert Minor, representing the Com
munist Party, and it's mayorality
candidate in New York; Carl Winter
representing the Unemployed Coun-
ellis of Greater New York; Merrill
Wort, Negro representative of the In
ternational Workers Order; and En-
anuel Levin, representing the ex-
seryicemen, saw the Governor in q
long interview.
The case was presented to the
Governor by this committee, which
pointed out that all the makeshifts
so far receiving official support en-
tirely failed to meet the situation.
Attempts to raise funds are always,
as in the case of the Sales Tax, at
tempts to place the burden upon the
working class and the farmers. The
only means by which the funds can
be raised is by taxation of the rich
est people in the world, who are
living in New York City.
The committee made strong ar
gument for a sharply increased and
regulated income tax and for high
tax on stock transfers, for the taxa
ton Of the now tax exempt proper
ties and for a moratorium on debt
service payment to banks.
1t asked for the removal of the
exemptions which permit the mil
lionaires to avoid income tax pay
nents on the ground that capital
value has decreased. And also point
ed out the terrible suffering in the
present situation and the desperation
and determination of workers in New
York City to obtain relief at any
cost now.
