OUTRUN
BY OUTPUT

Production in the United States
continued to outstrip trade in
August, according to the Amer
ican Institute of Finance index OF
general business activity. Follow
ing a record gain Of 13 points for
July, the institute index declined
2 points in August to-49.
After registering sensational
gains for several months, produc-
ton in August was up 2 per cent
further, compared with the usual
seasonal decline of l per cent.
Trade in August was again the
laggard, as in June and July, de-
clining slightly more than the
normal seasonal 6 per cent.
However, the nominal gain IN
production activity for August re-
suited from continued high pro-
duction during the first half Of
the month. A slump in the sec
ond half has been carried further
in September.
The current decline in produc-
ton in a period of normal seasonal
increase in consumption is tend
ing to bring production and con-
sumption into line and seem as
a constructive development.

These are trying times for the
NRA and all who have to deal
with it.
We are in the midst of the in
evitable period of disappointment
following the first enthusiastic
rush in which we were led to eX-
pect too much, too soon.
Long Run Measure
1t is important to reflect that
the NRA is essentially long-run
measure. It is based on an at
tempted revolution in our busi-
ness methods and economic life.
It is designed to develop a syS-
tenn which is hoped to give us
greater justice in the distribution
of wealth and income.
AS William Randolph Hearst
truly says, THE NRA is not a
measure of economic recovery"
If we have to wait to make all the
sweeping adjustments required be-
fore we pull out of this depreS-
sion, we will wait long.
Failure to realize this has hurt
both the NRA and business.
Mixing Seen Mistake
All through this depression we
have made the mistake of mixing
up emergency measures" with
measures for stimulus, sustained
recovery, or permanent reform.
Steps like the Federal Farm
Board or the reforestation
camps" or Red Cross distribu-
tion of wheat are emergency re-
lief. Shots of credit are stimu-
liant. Crop restriction and rail
way coordination are for Sus-
tained recovery. The NRA and
the securities act involve perma-
nent reforms.
Our efforts have been much
less effective, as result Of
mixed ideas.
Mr.. Hearst Right

statement when he says there

GAIN IN ASSETS
|SREPORTED

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Sept. %.
Substantial gains in assets and
cash holdings feature the mid
year financial statement Of the
Lincoln National Life Insurance
Company, which is now being
mailed to more than 100000
policyholders.
Arthur F.. Hall, president Of
the company, in commenting on
specific points in the statement,
declared:
"The company assets Of June
30, 1888, stood at 9O,42O,OOO as
compared with $84,725,OO at the
close of last year-an increase
of $5,695,OOO in the last six
months. Cash and United
States Government bonds at
mid-year stood at $2,275,OOO as
compared with S1,S15,OOO at the
beginning of the year. Since
June of 1888, the Lincoln Ma
tionaI Life has added $55O,OOO
to this sum, including $312, 500
of the new issue Of United
States Government bonds Of
fered in August.
"FOr some time the company
has been observing an encOurag-
ing betterment in business.
There is a great improvement
in the death rate.
During the first half of
1888 the Lincoln National Life
paid to its policyhOlders and
beneficiaries the sum Of $S,-
100000"

Time Needed for NRA
Results, Haney Says

Sive increase in the consumption
OF commodities until general
business conditions are improved
by other processes"
In other words, we are trying
to put consumption ahead of
production. But to be sustained
and lasting our consumption
must be based n our production.
Difficulties Seen
Beside the undue optimism as
to quick results (and the bally-
hoo), the NRA movement has
suffered from the following diff
ficulties:
l. Prices of manufactured goods
have been run up too fast in COM
parison with agricultural products,
as a result of increased costs and
price maintenance policies.
2. A confused and uncertain
labor policy has existed, and
strikes have abounded.
3. The NRA itself has been in
adequately organized and far from
clear in its aims, policies and
methods. This has brought un-
certainty and confusion in busi-
ness.
4. Tremendous class and Sec
tional conflicts have been taken
into Government. Labor VS.. capi-
tai, farmer VS.. manufacturer,
South VS.. North-these issues be-
come more acute and politically
menacing under NRA.
Benefits Scanned
I do not mean to say that Moth
ing good will come of NRA.
Foor one thing, we will, think,
have more planning of production
with the guidance of the Govern
ment.
For another thing, competition
will be subject to more control and
direction, so that it will be freer
from fraud, manipulation and cut
throat practices.
These things are doubtless a
part of what Mr.. Hearst has in
mind when he says that NRA "is
measure of social justice" to be
established AFTER recovery has
been assured

OFF GOLD BY STATUTE

WASTIINGTON, May 27. tAP1 Roosevelt decided th41 the Unit ed States should go of the gold standard by statute. and requested chairman Steagell of the House banking committee to introduce a resolution which would accomplish that.
 He showed the newspapermen a copy of the resolution, which he says will put the nation of the gold standard. He said that 1t re- peals the Gold Standard Act, add ing, that, under the resolution. no bonds of obligation of the Federal government, and no obligations in any form, would have to be paid in gold or gold currency after the enactment of the measure, which is expected next week.
 Under the act, Roosevelt said that it would be possible for for eign debtors to pay the United States their war debts In any legHl money. This bill frees the United States from the obstacles and hand leaps of the gold standard. He de cIared that it was part of his em- ergency relief program. and 1t makes it unnecessary for him to devalnate the gold dollar under the imitation provisions of the Farm Relief Act.
 Steagen termed this act one of the greatest steps towards stabil- izing money in the United States. making all legal money meet all obligations which were payable in gold
