these did nothing more than enbar-

Age-Old Delusion.
Behind this doctrine is a colossal
intellectual effrontery. the notion that
a small group of men. selected by
political accident, can sit down with a
pencil and plan out the economic
activities of l30.ooO,O00 people. This
delusion is as old as history. 1t has
been held by all the long concourse of
historical economic reformers. The
error rests on an unhappy misunder-
standing of the nature Of economic
life.
The unregulated economic order is
planned economy. 1t is co-opera-
tive. 1t is held together by the most
perfect cooperative organization so
far devised by man. Whether in the
future we can devise some socialistic
order superior and more cooperative
Is not certain. Probably such a su-
perior system will come with time.
But in our present order freedom of
competition makes the whole system
cooperative. Every person and every
element in it seeks to benefit them
selves, and they do this by co-opera-
tive production of the maximum of
desirable goods and services. 1t is
automatic cooperation. When any
element is not doing its proper part
in the process it is Immediately
warned by a price change. This high
ly efficient system fails when the au-
tomato play of competitive forces is
interfered with. The chief interfer-
ences are war, currency imitation,
monopolies, class legislation, restric-
ton of production, tariffs or exploita-
ton by some such class as stock rig
gers, extortionate labor unions. ma
jority stockholders or employers of
women and children.
Retarding 1so, 900, 600.
When self-appointed planners un-
dertake to reorganize the existing
economic order they are not establish
ing cooperation. They are assuming
that they are superior in intelligence
to the composite intelligent co-opera-
ton of millions of people. They never
are. Invariably they set up those in
references that have just been listed
as the evils of the existing system.
Look at the whole recovery program
and you will find that it is a vast
collection of measures giving some
economic group an economic advan-
tage it could not achieve in open COM
petition. They are, quite naturally

survived. and the depression cured it
self in less time than the present
one will take with expert planners
tinkering with it.
There are five things this Govern
ment might well have done for the
farmers. One was to promote world
stability in currency. This was killed
at the London Conference. A second
was to promote world tariff reduction.
This political hornet has been lodged.
A third was to give every possible
financial help to mortgaged farmers.
A fourth was to give generous relief
to every destitute farmer and his fam
lily. A fifth was not to establish an
N. r. A.
Taxation Vital Question.
To say that the plight of the cot
ton grower, which is due to the loss of
a 5000, ,000-bale market in Europe, is
due to the prices the steel companies
charge for steel rails or General
Motors for automobiles or the A T.
g. T. for telephone service is ridiculous.
The relation between farm prices and
industrial prices is only one of great
number of phenomena in our varie-
gated economic life. Personal service,
Government service, finance, transpor-
tation, education, publishing, profess
sional service, all these weigh heavily
in the economic scales. These groups
buy far more of industry's products
than all the farmers. Taxation Is a
bigger item in national economy than
the value of all agricultural products
of every kind. The idea that the key
to world recovery is in some arbi-
trarily chosen mathematical domestic
farm parity, such as that of 1926, is
absurd. Why 1926?
The case for the Government Is
less notable for it's positive assertions
than for its omissions. 1t is aston
ishingly academic in view of the ad-
ministration's open disregard fol
academic theory. Certain very prac-
tical questions were completely over
looked in the zeal for discussion OF
the highly theoretical questions OF
prices and production and parity and
exchangeability. Here are a few OF
these non-academic questions that the
administration spokesmen left un-
answered:
l. What is cur present monetary
standard? Why was an already de-
based gold standard adulterated with
silver bullion that has to be buried
in the vaults? Why has a single
unimportant, non-monetary metal
silver, been given repeated subsidies
Evening star., 1934-09-16

evicted by crop reduction? What is
to become of the Southern States
which have lost their cotton markets
to foreigners?
When a government does not answer
these questions after a year and a
half of interference with every one
of the vital economic institutions re-
ferred to it gives rise to serious con-
Germ. It may mean that a dictatorial
government planning revolutionary re-
organization ieels itself to be strong
enough to refuse to indicate its plans.
This seems improbable. If it does not
mean this, it means simply that the
Government does not know the
answers.
Unsound Economics
Thoughtful men have been ponder
ing this conclusion for many months
There are some indications that the
Government has become so tangled
in the confusion it has created that
it does not know where it is going.
With no clear ideas on the sound
currency" promised in the party plat
form, it floundered and retreated into
the currency muddle we have at pres
ent. without sound concept of the
relation of prices and wages to re-
covery, it tried N r. A. and was i'm
medistely engulfed in a fearful whirl
pool of price fixing, monopoly and
increasing costs. without any posi-
ton on international trade, it has
ended up in grievous nationaliSm and
a painful uncertainty about the tariff.
With no policy about banking, it
emasculated the Federal Reserve and
forced itself in as partner in 5000
banks without touching the banking
problem. With no clear fiscal policy,
it drifted into program of reckless
spending without concern for deficits
or program of revenue. Without any
policy on labor organization, it ended
up by embroiling the country in tragic
disorder.
The key to it all is unsound eco
nomics. In the last 10 years amateur
economists have been poisoning the
public mind with nonsense about over
production, excess capacity. consumer
power, overinvestment, consumption
economics, and an economy of abun-
dance. This in a country in which
millions do not have enough food for
proper growth, in which millions live
in novels and filthy tenements five
to a room, in which babies die for
lack of ice and milk and medical care,
in which it is quite impossible to pro-
duce enough woolen underwear and
school books and baby shoes and blan-
kets and beds and houses for decent
living. 1t is curious thing that nearly
all these people who talk about this
economy of plenty are living off inter
est or capital or enjoying an income
from the Government. Very few of
them are clerking in stores or driving
trucks.

Strange Incident Told.

Those who have followed the news
reports attendant upon the burning
of the MORO Castle must realize that
there were many strange, wierd
quirks and condolences of fate evi-
denced that fatal night; that night
when a gale howled up the Atlantic
Coast, when squalls ripped across the
decks, when passengers and crew grew
tensed with the longing for the home
coming of the morning.
But the strangest of all has not
been fully told as yet. 1t is stranger,
indeed, than fiction.
1t is the story of a man and his
love for an inanimate thing into which
he literally breathed life, pulsating
life, joyous life, of thing which he
saw grow from a rusty grub into a
beautiful princess, and then =
1t was blustery Spring morning
at the Newport News shipbuilding and

that March of 1929.
80 Years Master.
Thirty years of the sea he had be-
hind him. Thirty years master of
the elements on the bridge of tossing,
heaving ships. Thirty years he had
faced bowling storm and kissing, wall
ing winds and rain and snow and
fog. unafraid
He had watched the binnacle lights
of a dozen ships under the Great
Dipper and Southern Cross alike
Friends he had many, and, in truth, he
also had enemies, enemies gained
through his devotion to duty and
discipline.
Capt Robert r. Willmott of the
Ward line was there that morning to
witness the laying of the keel of a
new princess of the seas-the Moro
Castle. For he had been named
technical adviser for the owners.
CIinched First Rivet.
And early that same morning he
swung sturdy sledge against a little
bit of iron and clinched the first rivet
on that keel The ship was born.
Those who knew him then said a
change came over him that day. He
was like a man in a half dream, like
a man in love, for he loved that ship
from the bottom of his heart
Day by day he was with her as
she grew bit by bit: he watched every
move around her jealousy. He
watched her grow into scattered
tangle of beams and braces; she be-
came, in fact. an obsession to him.
He hardly ever left her.
Evenings, after the clatter of the
hammers and the hoarse shouts of
the workmen and the grind of the der
ricks had ceased, the watchmen would
find him still prowling about her, ex-
amining with care the days work; or,
perhaps, sitting at the side of the dry
dock just looking at her; a silent,
brooding figure.
Nursed Ship Into Life.
Even the cold blasts of that Winter
did not stop him.. Day by day he car
ried on. It was ''his ship" to him {;
his pet; his baby And those who re-
member now say he nursed that grow
ing monster as though 1t were, in truth,
a real child of the deep.
