Government workers ana declares the
Vincennes is the ninth on the list and
under the above quoted proviso OF the
law 1t had to be assigned to navy

Citing the assignments Of other
cruisers built under this statute, MI.
Alias wrote:
"T11e fact that the navy yards have
been assigned so per cent of the naval
vessels authorized by the national in
dustrial recovery act. and funds pro-
vided from the Public Works Admins
tration for their construction, has no
bearing and does not serve to repeal
the provisions of the authorizing act OF
"On August 8, 1898, the Navy De-
partment awarded cruiser CA 49, and
the contract was actually signed on
August 80, 1888.
1T is therefore respectfully urged
that your ofice initiate an investigation
into the awarding Of this contract, with
q view to enforce the provisions OF the
authorizing act Of February 13, 1929,
which requires that the vessel must be
built in navy yard"
Facilities Held Adequate.
: Apart from the letter, Mr.. Alifas as
serted that the New York Navy Yard
has ample facilities to construct the
cruiser in question in addition to other
warships that have been assigned un-

Business Doubts

AL Smith, writing in his New Outlook,
is doubtful whether present methods adopted
to pull us out of the business depression will
work. The basic cause of our troubles, he
says. is human nature. Only by raising the
general level of human character throughout
the world can we create a new society, free
from the causes that bring collapse. Viewed
from this angle. the job is one for the phi
losopher the priest and the doctor rather
than the statesman, lawyer or business
executive"
So the fiery Al grows philosophical. And
in the long view, he is probably right.
But in crisis like the one we have been
passing through, if we followed this broad,
slow. Philosophic procedure, the patients
might be dead before the improvement
started There are times when the oxygen
tank or the shot in the arm saves the day.
Then can come the slow process of
rebuilding
Il am in favor of applying the curb to
industry when necessary" he adds. but not
of placing the heavy, paralyzing hand of the
government upon all the business enterprise
of the nation. believe in good public ad-
ministration, but | know its limitations.
am in favor of restoring conditions which
make business leadership possible rather
than looking to the government to provide
it," SO say nearly all of US - when, if,
and SO soon as, it can be done. At present
most of us are still rejoicing that in the
recent business tempest there was one rock
to anchor to-our government.
