The hand of politics, not too well
yelled, is beginning to appear in
many supposedly dispassionate
surveys of the business situation.
1t is an ancient axiom that any
smart statistician can produce
figures that will prove almost any,
thing-it is equally automatic that
you can color the true facts con-
corning business by either over
statement or understatement with
out actually telling an untruth.
Republican sympathizers are
seeking to make the public believe
that business is bad. is getting
worse. Democratic hackers are
trying to persuade it that business
is recovering, that definite i'm
provement is taking place all the
time. The truth. as is so often
the case, lies between these ex-
tremes of opinion. Business is
still suffering from the summer
decline. but in some fields produce
ton is above what the normal sea-
sonal expectancy would have led
us to expect. Prices for many
commodities seem fairly steady
those of agriculture, due to
drought. well up, and rising. Basic
heavy Enthusiastically steel
and lumber, are at very low GIBBS,
however.
Main fly in the ointment is still
labor trouble. BY the time this
is read, some 100000 textile work
srs may have walked out, paralyz-
ing the industry. Whether they
do or not, is not especially i'm
portant so far as the long view is
commemorative fact to be kept in
mind is that labor has been dis
satisfied and forces at work to
KEEP trouble brewing in campaign
to unionize industry 100 percent.
The appeal made to labor is that
if it loses now, its cause will be
set back century. On the other
hand, conservative leaders believe
radicalism and strikes will shake
public confidence in organized la
Dor at this time-that mediation
is better than force.
Of obvious interest to business
are the state primaries, which so
far have demonstrated very little.
Most democratic nominees are en-
thusiastic New Deal men-mOst
republican candidates are equally
enthusiastic in opposition. The
president has let it be known that
he will not give direct support to
any candidate, and that came as
blow to many a political hope
full. Mr.. Roosevelt is wisely re-
framing from following the ex-
ample of the tragic Wilson who
asked the country to return demo-
cratic majorities to House and
Senate, was refused by the cleo
torate. and was completely dis
credited in his leadership. Many
current democratic candidates will
insinuate that the president won't
be able to sleep nights until they
are safely elected-but that won't
mean anything. s.ssmwmusAaaA

MAN proposes-God disposes, !"

"Man proposes-God disposes,"
says the old proverb. 1t proves a
fact that has the Department of
Agriculture and high government
officials giddy and .dismayed.
Main administration program
for. the farmer has been crop and
acreage, reduction. Working on
the. theory that unless drastic ac-
tions were, taken, the American
market would be glutted with
agricultural SURPRISES for many
years to come. thus keeping prices
at bankrupt levels. steps were TAX
en- to kill pigs. pillow under wheat
and cotton. and otherwise attempt
to adjust demand and supply. The
government paid out checks total
ing millions to farmers in order
to recompense them for crops thus
destroyed.
Everything went along we'll
until the power of God appeared,
in the form of the worst drought
in generations. The wheat and
cotton crops of whole states were
literally burned to dust-cattle
died of thirst and starvation
high winds whirled away seed and
top-soil, making a desert of what
had been the finest and richest
farm land in; the country.
. Outside, of the afflicted areas,
the American people had little
idea of what the result of this
would be. They read the head
lines. felt pity for the farmers
whose years income had vanished,
agreed that the government should
administer relief. What they did
not realize was that the drought,
following upon the man-made
campaign to destroy produce. had
turned the crop surplus into a
crop deficit. And that means but
one thing: Soaring food prices to
the consumer. Private crop ex-
perts say that it will take five or
six years to make up for the crops
we have lost. Every one of these
experts is of the belief that dur
ing the coming winter food prices
will be higher than for many years
past-and that. coming at a time
when the national income is still
heavily depressed and millions of
families are earning just enough
, to get by on, contains the fruits
of potential tragedy.
President Roosevelt, Secretary
Wallace and others have~said that
all the power of government will
be used to prevent prOfiteering.
that the consumer will be protect
ed. But no law exists which can
keep farmers. from hanging onto
what crops they have left in the
! hope of higher prices-no power
has yet been called into play that
can prevent speculation all along
the line, from the farm to the gro
Gerry store.
Washington is worried and UNI
certain-and in the meantime the
government is in the odd position
of forcing crop reduction on one
hand, while administering relief
i to crop sufferers on the other!

Today's Horoscope


This day gives joyous nature,
full of high spirits and laughter.
Fond of pleasure, probably accom-
panied by good looks. or with the
lack of them covered by the jovial
disposition, money will come cas-
lily and probably go as easily. Look
out only that its disposition does
not leave stain, for this nature
is often easily led into acts not
wholly clean.
