M. E.Tracy Says:

THE greatest danger of the New Deal is that
Il it may work too well Wages are up and
employment is increasing, but prices and
production are going up faster If we don't
look out, we will be in the midst OF another
boom.
The hardest element to handle in all human
problems is human nature. especially as repre-
sented by ingenuity.
Theoretically, we can reduce the cotton crop
by taking so much acreage out Of cultivation
through leases. It would be possible, however,
for the cotton growers to produce bigger crop
than they ever did on the acreage left.
Crops are not controlled by acreage any more
than production is matter Of manual labor
Intensive farming makes it possible for one
acre TO produce as much as four under the old
sipshod method as has been proved many
times In the same way, machinery makes it
possible for one man TO produce as much as
forty formerly could.
Permanent control Of production necessarily
would include control of inventivenesS and that
IS something for which we will not stand.
TN the end. controlled production must be
l. abandoned for increased consumption.
1t is absurd TO suppose that humanity will
lie down on the job as long as one-half OF it is
in dire need Of the ordinary comforts and con-
veniences of civilized life
What we up against is an emergency in
which trade has been strangled and buying
power destroyed through economic entanglementS
resulting from war.
AS soon as these entanglements are cleared
away. must seek a different program than
We are now pursuing. The fact that certain
methods must be adopted TO meet disaster should
not be confused with the idea OF what is good
for normal times.
The objective Of recovery programs is to
overcome bad conditions. The only way TO re-
gard those programs as permanent would be to
assume that bad conditions are going TO last
but that is the one thing we don't want.
WHILE certain notifications are essential
w in accordance with the evolutionary forces
of progress the real hope Of civilized people is
TO resume business in a constructive sense, to
spread the good things Of life, TO provide for
better distribution Of wealth. 10 mobilize the
thinking power Of humanity on an ever-increas-
ing scale.
A better distribution of wealth IS impossible
unless there is more wealth 10 distribute.
For the moment, We may suffer from over
production in certain lines but as a general
ductlon in world where two-thirds OF the peo-
pie suffer for lack Of food clothing, and shelter
not 10 mention the Injuries of life.
II We ever can liberate ourselves from the
snarl Of debt and taxes brought on by the war
and make 1t possible for people 70 buy what
they reasonably need. there will be plenty Of
work for the brains, capital, and machinery or
civilization.

THE PRESIDENTS APPEAL


VXTHAT can the common citizen do to
w hasten recovery? The President has
answered this question, which has been in
the hearts and minds Of millions for months
Get behind the Roosevelt blanket code plan
TO raise wages and shorten hours That is
the answer
It will put the iobless back at work It
will increase purchasing power so that
merchants can sell goods md factories can
produce more goods and employ more men.
The President explained this plan Mon
day night so clearly that there is no excuse
for misunderstanding
Success of the plan-in which all of us
will share-depends on the cooperation of
all Every American has his or her part to
play. The employer is asked to sign an in
d.vidual contract with the President promising
to abide by the wage, hour and fair COM
petition provisions of the code
Labor receives the Presidents pledge that
the government will protect its right, for
which labor in turn is asked to work hard
on the Job. The consumer Is asked to buy
from those operating under the code.
All this represents a degree of government
leadership new in America. Doubtless some
are shocked by the departure from old ways
of cut-throat competition, which landed us
in the bankruptcy and hunger of depression.
But if the doubters will think back a few
months when the country prayed for some
thing anything-to save us. they will give
thanks for the almost miraculous change since
March.
The change did not Just happen 1t was
produced by vigorous. constructive, and fear
less leadership from the White House
So when Franklin d. Roosevelt today ap-
peals to the people to follow him in this
new and most important step toward recovery.
he is not asking them to accept some theory
in bind faith. He is standing on a record of
actual achievement which has earned the
confidence of every citizen in his ability to
lead.
No one denies this.
But perhaps the very fact of the Pres-
dents achievement to date is one reason why
short sighted citizens think that nothing more
is needed to assure prosperity They say
things are getting better rapidly; why not let
we'll enough alone?
They do not understand that most of the
recovery so far has been on the mere prom
Use Of laws and pledges which have not yet
become operative. It was the belief that the
Roosevelt plan would cause prices TO rise and
would put millions back TO work and stimu-
late business. But now the time has come
when the hope must be fulfilled, or we slip
down again.
To prevent that tragic collapse. the Presi-
dem offers the unemployment and recovery
code as the keystone which is to hold together
the broader program.
The President appeals for cooperation in
the name of patriotism and humanity" 1t is
that, and more For tens of thousands Of
business men and for millions of workers, it
is a matter of survival

tissues are seen and by the use Of
various substances combined with
the X-ray most of the organs of the
body now can be seen during life.
The development of physics, Of
chemistry, of bacteriology and Of
many sciences on which medicine
rests. have made it possible for ply
sicianS clearly to understand the
functions Of the patients body in
health and in disease.
IN surgery new devices have been
developed for cutting tissues with
out hemorrhage. for keeping the
patient quiet or anesthetized dur
ing operation, and for keeping con-
ditions so clean that there is no
danger Of infection.
New methods have been discov-
cred which aid the specialist in dis
eases Of the nose and throat in
looking into the sinuses. in deter
mining their contours, in examin-
ing the ear externally and inter-
nally. and in peering into the very
depths not only Of the 1arynx, but
even Of the lungs.

Everybody is cheering now; but in few
months some of the people on whom the re-

to have in Washington some men who don't

u. S. PLANS STILL
BIGGER NAVY In
RACE WITH JAPAN
Budget Raise Asked
AS Toxic Bares
Program

WASHINGTON.-Secretary of the
Navy, Claude A. Swanson yesterday
announced he would ask for still
more warships, to meet Japan's new
naval program, which was itself a
response to Americas big navy
budget. The American and Japan
csc governments thus declare them
selves in an unlimited competition in
naval strength.
Swanson'S announcement was an
instant response to the publication
Of Japan's new warship budget of
lS140,000,000. The American Navy
department had just got $315, 100000
with which to build up the navy
It was only few hours after the
Japanese program was announced
yesterday when Swanson declared
he would go back to the Public
Works Administration for more mil
lions.
The whole American fleet, in
Guiding the Atlantic squadron, has
now been in the Pacific for over a
year, having been concentrated there
soon after Japan began its drive into
China which has resulted in the
conquest of Manchuria, and is still
spreading out farther over the main
land OF Asia. Both fleets are MAIN
tanned on permanent war basis
because of the increasingly sharp
tension created by the fast-growing
imperlalist rivalry between the two
countries.
