Glimpses of Stage Folk
in Washington.

PEHOLD these paradoxes in the life
- of Miss Estelle Taylor, one-time
famed screen siren.
She passed her childhood in family
strongly anti-theatrical, her grand
mother still being known as one OF
the chief opponents of Sunday pictures
and plays in her native heath, Will
mington, Dell Yet from childhood she,
Estelle, loved nothing quite so much
as the backyard dramas enacted in
costumes borrowed from the grown
UPS, and she never really thought Sc
riously of any career except that OF
an actress.
She attained fame as willy siren,
and a very attractive one, in the days
of the silent films. Yet when she as
saved the same roles in the talkies, it
was discovered she could not give her
parts the hard, cold reading they were
supposed to have Her voice was too
simpatico, made her seem like any
thing but q wicked and ruthless
woman.
She spent three years developing
and training her singing voice, which
Is naturally of quality suited TO
operettas. Yet her stage appearances,
similar to the engagement she is now
playing at Loew's Fox. have always
required her to sing popular ballads,
the beloved modern blues, needing
deeper tones than her natural range.
And what does she propose to do
about these odd circumstances? Well,
the first one, as you know, is already
settled. She became an actress, study
ing at dramatic school a while, play
ing exactly IL weeks Of legitimate and
then whooping of to Hollywood in
dustriously to ensnare various rowing
romantics of the screen. Being the
feminine menace, she was never al
lowed to get her man, but she did a
lot of acting and made name for
herself.
As for case No. 2, she has stayed
out of the flickers long enough now
to make a comeback in an entirely
different type of role, one which will
suit the naturally warm speaking voice.
This she proposes to do. And as for
singing, she hopes to find parts in the
forthcoming opera comique type OF
pictures, which surely will appear in
great numbers after the success Of
Zone Night of Love"
Personally. we nominate Miss Taylor
to do q Cleopatra" one at least twice
as good as the recent De Mile debacle
under that name Will someone please
look after that little matter at once?

what diminished, but will not on that
account become retrogreSsion.
Another feature Of Dr. Keynes sug-
gestionS warrants mention in passing.
He asserts that we have now accom-
plished TIE great task of solving the
technical problem of how to produce
economic goods on scale adequate to
human needs" This might be true if
very narrow limitations on human
needs be assumed. When 1t is re-
membered. however, that the total
value of goods and services produced
in the boom year of 1929 was worth
only $l8 per week for each adult in
the population, it is seen that the
technical problem of production is
not as yet thoroughly solved. 1t Is,
therefore, somewhat premature to as
sert that 'it is the task of the younger
generation to bring to actual reali-
zation the potential blessings OF hav-
ing solved the technical side of the
problem of poverty" DR.. Keynes as
Serts that this task requires "a GEN.
trail control" Just what he may have
intended to imply by this is not clear,
but it is certainly a much greater
problem to find those capable of exer-
cising this central control" than
most of our planners seem to imagine
Large Dose of Initiation.
So much for the details OF DR..
Keynes recommendations. What are
the results to be expected? If the
Government should embark upon a
spending policy at the rate of $400.-
600, 900 per month or Whereabouts, this
would involve the creation cf new
bank credit to the amount of S4,8O0.-
000.0 900 in any one year Already
there has. been some imitation of this
character, amounting perhaps to
81, 500 100000 or $4,000, 100000. 1t is
plain, therefore, that at the end of a
year the economic system of the
country would have received a dose of
imitation comparable to that which it
was given during the entire World
War, and nearly as great as that
which resulted in the disastrous de-
preston from which we now appear
to be recovering.
1t should also be kept in mind that
by our monetary policy we have set
in motion forces which will inevitably
produce higher price levels and will
tend to stimulate speculation, with
resultant unSound business expan-
sion. Although business will natur-
ally hesitate at first. fearing a break
down. the history of such movements
clearly shows that most people are
finally lulled into a false sense of Sc
curity and that conservative business
men and spectators alike carry on TO
their mutual destruction.
1t is seen, therefore, that the prin-
cipal proposal urged by Dr. Keynes
must inevitably create or lead to a
vast imitation which. when the final
collapse comes will have conse-
quences fully as disastrous, if not
more so, than those of the past few
years. That all will appear to be for
the best in the best of all possible
worlds, for a time at least, is a fore
gone conclusion. But those who are
inclined to follow DR.. Keynes advice
should keep in mind the grave risks
which they run; and not by any
means the least Of them is the pos

to say, obtaining funds for govern
mental capital expenditures from the
business income of the country-would
not retire any portion Of that income
from circulation, nor in any way re-
duce the volume of business being
done. There would merely be trans
fer of income involved without any
net affect upon expenditures within a
given period of time.
DR.. Keynes then goes on to explain
briefly the causes of the slump in pro-
duction during the latter part of 1888
and the possibility of a renewed de-
cline in the near future. According
to him, careful computations (even
the general character of which is not
disclosed) have revealed the necessity
for expenditures of approximately
S400, 100000 per month in order to
continue progress toward recovery. He
asserts that a substantially lower rate
of expenditure will result in retrogres-
sion. In his own words. IF it is
going to decline 70 100000, 900
much of the ground already gained
will probably be lost" That this
viewpoint is wholly erroneous can
easily be shown.
Use of Bank Credit.
In the first place, the source of the
Government funds for these numer-
Gus expenditures is the banking sys-
TEN of the country. Furthermore, the
money comes not from previous ac-
cumulations made, but is created out
of thin air. In other words. it is bank
credit placed at the disposal Of the
Government in the form of newly
created demand deposits. AS the
Government spends these funds the
demand deposits are transferred to
individuals and businesses all over the
country. Once placed in circulation
by this means. they remain outStand-
ing, a net addition to the total of
circulating purchasing media in use,
until such time as there is actual de-
hation, or retirement of such credits
from circulation.
Now, it is plain enough that any
increase in expenditures of this kind
whose source is pure bank credit is
necessarily augmenting the national
III VI
fore increases the purchasing power
demanding goods in the market place.
In other words, any inflationary
originations of credit placed in cir
culation by the Government must
have a directly stimulating effect on
business Expenditures at the rate of
$400, ,000,000 in one month will stimu-
late business in that month and will
remain in circulation thereafter until
the retirement of these funds by the
actual defationary process. If IN the
succeeding month Government ex-
penditure amounts to only S200,000,-
| 900, this will not mean that the pre-
vious months stimulation to business
has been partially lost, because the
demand deposits then pushed out into
circulation will still be in existence.
1t will simply mean that the addi-
| tional stimulation to business during
the second month is somewhat less
than that during the first, and pre-
sumably the rate of increase in busi-
ness expansion will thereby be some

of dollars. At first, unless funds spent
by the Government can be shown to
have some extraordinary capacity for
travelling two or three times as fast
and as far as other money, the direct
stimulus will be directly proportional
to the amount of money spent.
However, such funds will constitute
a relatively permanent addition to
the total of purchasing media in use
currency plus demand deposits cir

Random Notes

Hon. Arnold Nj. Golden. Chairman of
the oIoniaI Council made very effec-
tive speech on Wednesday when bill
was introduced in Council to attach the
personal property of persons in arrears
for road taxes. He said the rotten con-
dition of the roads. for the upkeep of
which the estate owners were compelled
to pay taxes is something revolving.
Before the Chairman spoke most OF
the members fet that sound methods
for enforcing payment of road taxes
should be adopted At tie conclusion of
his speech the House was thinking hard.
1t was this that brought Councilman
Brow to his feet and caused him to tell
THE Governor of what appeared TO him
in the Public Works Depart
sment.
