ECONOMIC ORDER
or OLD DEFENDED
ysSs-!s
r. West CriticizeS Efforts
: of Administration to
Beat Depression.

In q radio address DR.. W. Reed
West, executive off1cer of the Political
Science Department Of George Wash
ington University, last night attacked
the contention that the old economic
order cannot survive. He reviewed
some of the measures of the present
administration, and concluded that
these measures had been of little value
in the depression and that the ulti-
mate effect would be to place bur-
den upon the middle class and the
poor.
DR.. West said that lone of the most
bizarre of these excursions into the
unknown was the experiment of the
gold purchases by which the attempt
was made to raise the general price
level by paying high prices for gold"
He said: IF the Federal Government
had gone into the market and paid 10
cents for every scent hot dog on the
roadside it would have had the same
effect. The fact that the plan was
abandoned by the administration is a
tacit confession of its failure"
Gold Change Criticized.
Reduction of the gold content of the
dollar, he said, was "an even more
radical and hysterical effort to raise
prices"
Turning to discussion Of N. r. A.,
he asserted that regulation of child
labor was IAN entirely worthy prin-
ciple which it extended and national
lied" He criticized the measures of
N. r. A. and A. A A. which restrict
the output of industry and agriculture
on the ground that lin the struggle to
secure a share of this limited supply
Of goods it is the poor who will suffer
LaudS Economy of Plenty.
He declared the remedy for poverty
IS IAN economies of plenty"
He defended those "who question
the schemes Of the new political
philosophers" Referring to President
RooSevelt'S recent statement to the
effect that the American people are
now beginning to think for themselves.
DR.. West expressed himself as well
coming this news as indicating that
I'VE may be entering into an era when
constructive thought will replace those
aimleSS and conflicting measures that
merely pass by boundleSs courtesy as
economic planning"

circles against such q step at this
time.
A Federal Power Commission Of
fetal said, however, that he felt many
in the electric power industry had
come to the conclusion that Federal
regulation Of power holding COM
panies and interstate transmission OF
electric current was not only inev-
liable but necessary.
The long study by the Federal
Trade Commission, he said, had given
data on power holding companies
that Is lacking on other investment
trusts and holding companies. Then,
too, in his opinion, business generally
would be upset in the face of pro-
posed legislation directed toward Fed
trust and holding company domain.
Coincide With Power Head.
These views apparently coincide
with those of Chairman Frank r.
McInch Of the Power Commission.
McInch and other officials concerned
with power policies and problems, are
working on report to be made to the
President in late December or early
January.
From present indications that study
will urge regulation Of power and per-
haps gas holding companies, but will
suggest that similar legislation af-
fecting other industries be withheld
until more data is gathered and the
effect of the power statute is seen.

In answer to the questioning of a
group Of insurance men as to whether
or not the state intends to take over
all lines of insurance, Governor Olson
replied that he contemplated no such
move. The insurance field is largely
occupied by cooperative companies,
the Governor stated in a letter to
Clyde Helm, secretary of the Insur-
ance Federation of Minnesota, and
therefore there is no necessity for
the state to intervene. The Governor
stated, however, that he did believe
in state social insurance such as
maternity, Mothers and Old Age Pen
sions and Workmen's compensation.
The letter said that he was forced
to the conclusion that the state must
take over the Workmen's compensa-
ton insurance by the fact that many
working men and women in Mime
sofa were deprived of some 100000
awarded them by the legal tribunals
of the state, through the failure of
some private insurance carriers of
Workmen's compensation.

is of extreme Importance; hundreds
of Minnesota children are sleeping

parents to provide mattresses for
their children's beds. The opening
of these factories by the government

part Of those who are opposed to

course, such persons prefer to up
hold the sanctity of rugged and mon
opolistic business rather than attend

To the layman the indictment of
90 Northwest Incorporation officers
and former officials would seem to
entail only the gathering and presen-
tation of evidence. Several years of
hard work, however, was necessary
to bring the case to head. First
bill had to be passed by the Leg
islature providing funds for such an
investigation. Evidence had to be
gathered in the face of opposition
from those involved. A lengthy hear
ing had to be conducted with wit
nesses and corporation attorneys re-
sorting to obstructionist tactics at
every turn. Then it had to be pre-
sented to a Hennepin grand jury,
which refused to take action. Finally,
a district judge, reviewing the evil
dence, was satisfied of at least a
prima facie case and issued warrants
and complaints. The case now has
to be fought out in court, where 1t
is hoped the truth will be established
in the interest of both the public
and the accused.
