rendering a real service TO the So
cialist party.
In the meantime, New Deal cap
italism staggers long with a con-
stantly weakening pulse.
Suppose we should live to see one
more boom, necessarily brought
about through a loosening credit.
Would production and consumption
be balanced? Of course not. That
can only happen in a Socialistic So
ciety, The new boom would be very
short-liyed and we rapidly would
sink into the mud deeper than ever
before. To launch such a boom
Republican majority would be neces-
sary first, because the New Deal is
putting restrictions upon unlimited
profits and rugged individualism.
For the same reason no business ex-
pansiOn will take place as long as
we have the New Deal.
The conclusion is that, il the
Republicans should win once more,
we will get Socialism through a.
boom and a sudden collapse of I'M
surpassed dimensions. IF the DEM
ocrats stay in power, we will get
socialism through a rather slow an
nual decline.
I am for the quicker Of the two
ways, Whichever it may be.

AS a reader Of The Times. one
of the unfortunates, along with my
family of five children, to be
crushed and torn from each other
and be held out Of a job without
sufficient wages to make a home
and maintain my family, I read in
The Times Of Aug. 6 where the
New Deal is attacked by Dr.. Mill
kan and I feel called upon TO
answer in the interest Of the most
people involved.
He states a group Of political
philosophers and sociologists seeks
to make man dependent on the
state. after science has taught him
to rely on his own efforts. Some
call it Socialism, some Communism,
but he calls it stateism, TO include

A BANKING LESSON

THAT famous senate banking committee
got most of its headlines several months
ago. Its story is an old story by this time;
most Of US being humanity forgetful, recall
vaguely that midget sat in j. P Morgans
lap, and feel somewhat muddled about the
rest Of il.
However. the committee is reporting its
findings these days. and the reports make
interesting reading There are some things
We ought not to let ourselves forget; among
them are the disclosures made by this COM
mittee about the ethical code which prevailed
among the money changers during the recent
boom years.
The committee tells what it found out
about investment bankers. for instance. 1t
uses such adjectives as "scandalous" and
shocking" and tells of practices which vio-
lated the most elementary principles Of
business ethics"
1t recites the sorry tale of the preferred
lists" by which the big boys let certain public
servants in on various good things; and it
adds drily that the bankers deny, perhaps
too vehemently, that they expect any direct
considerations from these benehciaries Of
banking benevolence.
1t asserts that in floating bond issues the
bankers used high pressure methods. pegged
prices so high that they could unload before

MR.. FLETCHER ON CAMPAIGN

ONCE becoming Republican party chairman.
- Henry P. Fletcher has made some wild
swings al The New Deal. Indeed. he still is at
IT, Like most Of his earlier lawmakers, his
Illinois Red-baiting speech as a whole was
lu6icrousy wide OF the mark But he did land
a few punches.
In condemning the cotton and tobacco pro-
duction control laws. Mr.. Fletcher was effective.
These compulsory measures. with their prohihi-
tive levies against cotton and tobacco produced
in excess OF license allotments. are dangerous
laws and repugnant TO the traditions OF free
people. They are even alien TO the philosophy
OF the New Deal. but this. OF course. IS point

Neither President Roosevelt nor Secretary
Wallace wanted these two restrictive farm
measures. They preferred TO continue the

Holds Creation of Credit u. S. Duty

went into thin air il one single
day.
Like a house of cards, the whole
money credit structure toppled,
until today those credit tickets
written on bankers books have
tumbled the book values on Amer
lean wealth over one hundred
billion dollars. The sky seemed to
be the limit for that type of money.
So we are all scratching to get
our fingers on the greenbacks to
paw our bills.
That method Of creating money
by credit creates a mountain Of
debt. The mountain turns out to
be a volcano, speWing out dis
aster to industry, farmer and
worker.
If the bankers had had real
money to loan out instead of bank
credit tickets which eyaporated
on check withdrawal, the tickets
would still be in circulation.
It's high time we ask congress to
put the constitution into effect, by
forcing the creation of money and
fixing of its value by congress.
Money includes credit money, and
the volume of both money and
credit are of great importance 10

ADVANCES REMEDY
TO CURB CRIME
By a Times Reader

By Times Reader.
We are shining against our youth
in a most unforgiVable fashion,
and the men whom we have elected
to fill our responsible places would
like to pass the buck" back to the
public, pretending we lack interest
But that is only poor excuse and
in an effort to escape their duty,
The majority had faith in them be-
fore the election ballyhoo, or they
would never have been elected.
If we could only have more news
papers like The Times the public
might be censured justly for not
being more politically minded. The
public has no direct way OF voiclng
its opposition Of a matter publicly
without a process of organization,
and usually that is factiOnal, unless
our newspapers offer their services
at their own expense, as The Times
does. Mostly the officials would
rather not know the general public
reaction. If we could ever get the
right type of official in he would
welcome it,
I would like to suggest to our state
officials a method whereby 1 believe
the whole crime situation can be
vastly improved in a comparatively
short time without much costly
equipment. We already have a null
titude of welfare workers who should
know more about crime breeding
than all the special commissions we
could employ.
Why not allow our young offend
ers to enlist in our federal army?
Even though they are too young to
be regularly enlisted. schools could
be maintained at the posts where
their studies could be attended to
by competent teachers who have
been selected in respect to their
ability for this special work.
On entering the post, no one eX-
cept the high officials would know
the ofense for which the youth was
incarcerated. 1t would be the sa-
cred duty Of all regularly enlisted
men to ignore any reference to any
| irregularity about these youths that
they might hear and it would be
their solemn duty to help them cor
rect any wrong tendencies that they
might notice which would bring
them to further grief.

By COnstitutiOnalist.
News from Washington stated
that a proposal for the next con-
gress would be the creation of a
Central Bank of issue and credit,
completely controlled by the gov
eminent.
This is news of the first magni-
tude. The Federal Reserve SSys-
tenn is a private institution. Its
name has fooled many citizens
into believing that it was a gov
eminent unit, publicly owned,
like the word National" over
bank might indicate its public
ownership
The creation of credit, which
is identical with the creation of a
medium of exchange, properly
belongs to the government. The
creation of credit by banks, through
loans to operate the mechanism Of
production, exceeded the actual
money in circulation from six to
ten times. Real money had to speed
its turnover to keep pace with this

CAPITALISM DOOMED

How many years must depres-
sion last before it ceases to be
temporary? How many years must
pass before the American public
discovers that we are sinking deeper

enough, lavish spending by the gov

alas, the money is borrowed. This
method Of keeping capitalism on

Of ever getting their money back, or
at best, that their bonds will be re-

groes were under. They have had
their chance and shut down on
their capital, closing the factories,
starving the people. Therefore, the
common people feel they should
have a power Of government which
can and will open the factories, pay

We all know that the only thing
which will bring this to pass is full
government ownership OF all
