Except in rare instances they
haven't even attempted TO find
ont what the public wanted.
Firmly entrenched behind carved
mahogany desks, they have been
the know-i t-alls to whom the
United States was just so much
waste territory.
Only the fact that it took four
days to reach New York by train
made them aware of the 5000
miles between the two cities. Not
once have they considered the
100000 persons in the vast
area outside of New York and
Los Angeles who for years have
been paying their tremendous
salaries.
NOW, after making empty
~ statements for years, the film
producers are about to act upon
them. They're going to make the
kind of pictures the public wants.
For several years quiet battle
has been raging between the pub
lie and the film moguls.
During the last few months this
fight has come out into the open
and has grown considerably in
size. AS a result, the movie heads
have admitted defeat.
In the future the public can
dictate what kind of pictures it
wants and get them. Studio ex-
ecutives are ready to promise to
throw every bit of filth off the
screen. In fact. they're ready to
promise almost anything to get
people back into their theaters.

construction industries. They &C
count directly for the largest
amount of unemployment. There
is little doubt, therefore, that to
revive construction is the most
important thing that can be done
to promote general recovery.
If we look at the situation
broadly, what do we find out?
We find, do we not, a very large
possible demand for new con-
struction and for replacement.
There may be too many high
priced apartments and too many
Skyscrapers in some cities, but
taking the country as whole there
is clearly a deficiency of satisfac-
tory, moderate and inexpensive
housing.
The answer is obvious. Con-
struction is too expensive. A
wage Garner or a salaried man
wanting a new house has not
enough income to pay the rent
or meet the mortgage and the
contractors charges.
His income is generally con-
siderably lower than it was in
1929, But rent, interest, building
materials and building wages are
very little lower than they were
in 1929.
II there is TO be more building,
the cost Of building has to come
down until incomes have in
creased.
specifically, that means that the
price of materials needs to be re-
duced if more of them are to be
sold, that the price Of money has
to be reduced if more of it is to
be borrowed, that the unit rate
of wages has, to be reduced if
there is to be more employment.
The question is whether pro-
ducers of materials, lenders on
mortgages and workers in the
construction industry can all be
convinced at the same time that
by accepting a lower nominal
rate they will improve their actual
income.
The problem is to bring to-
gether producers, workers and
leaders into a kind of pact or
treaty for their common ad~
vantage. To the producers of
raw materials the argument for
reduction would be that a greater
volume of business at lower price
would mean larger profits.
To the lenders the primary ar
gument would be that mortgage
at a lower rate of interest when
that means that the borrower is
solvent, is safer than high rate.
1t is also more profitable than let
ting money stand idle.
ITO the wage Garner the argu-
Il ment would be that a high
rate of wages for little or no work
means much less money than a
lower rate for more work. If be
has two days work at SIS, ne
earns $50 week. If ne had five
days work at Sl2 he would double
his income.
To make this convincing it
ought to be possible to work out a
scheme by which the weekly earn
ings Of labor would rise faster
than the hourly rate was reduced.
Thus labor costs would fall while
the income Of labor rose.
There are intimations from
Washington that the administra-
ton is working along these lines.
IF they are correct, it is all to the
good.

UNNECESSARILY better condition.
But above all, our own adoption
of a managed currency has in
very considerable degree insulated
the American economy against
the impact of the European de-
f1ation. Nevertheless we are
part of the world economy and
complete insulation is impossible.
n
XXTHAT is going on in Europe
w must for the time being
mean less world trade and there
fore reduced demand for those
American products which enter
into world trade.
It is only prudent to recognize
that the promise Of revival of
world trade has received a setback,
This does not mean that one must
give up hope Of improving it by
reducing the barriers. But it does
mean that the improvement will
at best be slow unless there is
radical turn for the better in the
European political and financial
position.
That being the case, it is more
than ever important to take meas
ures to assist the revival Of bust
ness within the United States.
For full prosperity We undoubt-
edy need a large revival Of eX-
ports. But very much more pros
perity than we now have is at
tainable by measures that are en-
tirely within our own control.
