PRICE BREAK FARCE
is FORECAST

By Times Reader.
Your editorial lament, deploring
the exit of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation, before home owners
have been given private facilities for
refinancing mortgages coming due,
may have appeal to the victims OF
high finance. The big blunder OF
the federal government was made
when it attempted to peg the price
of wheat, losing one half billion
dollars in that unfortunate venture.
The value of any goods or services
finally are fixed by the consumer.
Capital structures as well as debt
structures which demand more
tariff" than the consumer will be
able or willing to pay, most OF
necessity, be scaled down, until the
price of goods and services entice
the buyer to buy.
The pegging of debt, which has
lost it's value, by RFC loans, home
owners loans, farm loans and
AAA subsidies, prevents temporary
falling of the debts, to level
where they can be supported by
prices which attract buyers.
The law of supply and demand
left to operate without these peg
ging operations, would have let the
water out of our debt and capital
structures so that production and
distribution could start again on a
new lower price level.
The debt structure of the country
was built on bank debts, which rose
from thirty-three billion in 1919 to
fifty-three billion in 1929. The price
level prevailing during these years
did not create the consumption Of
goods during those years. The
money for the purchase was created
by banks to finance production;
while the consumer signed the in
stallment contract and only asked
about the first payment.
The goods are gone, the products
in construction shrank faster in
earning value than the required
payments on the debts. We had
consumers imitation through bank
credit imitation The air has been
taken out of these bank credits, for
they have dropped to near their
1919 level, but the dead horses rep
resented by the mortgages, bonds,
notes and stock certificates are still
here.
Pay day will come for them, dry
cleaning is overdue. Consumers
line shrinkage finally will force a
price break which neither NRA,
trade associations and unions nor
RFC with other federal debt peg
ging can stop. Pull the pegs out
and let the debt find its level.

high price of material were dam
aging the recovery program.
How can a poor fellow getting,
when he can, from 20 to 40 cents an
hour, pay from S125 to $175 an
hour for work in building or re-
pairing his house?
The PWA is about as wasteful as
the ridiculous CWA-in one sense
worse, when public buildings are
built all over the country by union
labor and with material furnished
by profiteers. The nation has a lot
of white elephants on its hands with
fixed charges on bonds issued and
on the upkeep of the building which
are four times the cost Of rents for
decent, adequate properties.

on to the rear OF. the cars, releas-
ing the car poles from contact with
the overhead wire, and risking
grave injury as they leap on and
off while the car is in motion.
Under orders from Sergt Will
liam Duggan, commanding the po-
lice motor patrol, a police car last
night began patrolling the Con-
gress avenue district. A patrolman
is likewise being assigned to spe-
cial duty there to prevent the car
riding practice.
Motorman Handicapped
For weeks, it was said today, the
gang of youths has been jumping
on to the rear of cars going up and
down Congress avenue. On many
occasions they have released the
car pole from contact, making 1t
necessary for the trolley to stop
and for the motorman to make the
contact with the overhead wire
again.
Police have been considerably
handicapped in their efforts to ap-
prehend the culprits by concern for
the lads safety. On several occa :
sions. accosted youths have run
around the rear of the cars. di-
rectly into the paths OF automo-
biles proceeding in the opposite
direction. Serious accidents have
been barely avoided in many cases.
Most OF the free riding has been
done after darl; and in the area
from the beginning of Congress
avenue to the B. w. Tinker school.
Promising to make immediate ar
rests of any lads found riding out
side the cars, police hope to end
the epidemic by vigilant patrol
of the section.

RECREATION Aid
TO NEW ENGLAND
Region Can Prosper By In
creased Activity Says
Councilman

Springfield, Mass, April 81
Every resident of New England
benefits from the half million dol
lars spent annually in New Eng
land for recreation, Colonel Will
liam A. Barron of Crawford Notch,
N. H., chairman of the Recreation
al Development Committee of the
New England Council, declared
here last night in an address be-
fore the Recreational Conference
under the auspices of the National
Recreation Association.
New England has four major
types Of wealth producing acticity:
industry, because of the value
added by manufactures; recreation,
because of the huge revenue re-
ceived from our visitors and sum-
mer residents; agriculture, because
of the value received from our
farm products. and forestry and
fisheries because of the value re-
ceived from the sale of these pro-
ducts. New England, and by New
| England I mean the residents OF
the six New England states, can
only prosper as these four forms
of wealth producing activity are
maintained and increased Col
| onel Barron said.
1.-THE annual cash income that
comes into this territory from our
visitors and summer residents Is
equal to $500, 900. This $780,
| 600, 900 annual cash income is the
equivalent of six per cent annual
return on a capitalization of eight
and one-third billion dollars. The
| New England Councils researches
have further disclosed that in a
normal year 100000 visitors
come into this territory. Many of
these people return year after
year. Many of them own summer
homes and pay taxes to our COM
munities. Many learn to like this
section and become permanent
residents" he continued.
1.-THE New England Councils re-
searches indicate that the assessed
valuation of property used solely
for recreational purposes totals
| $550,000,0 Furthermore these
researches have brought out the
very important fact that the recre-
| ational industry was New Eng
lands second largest industry"
