Which Way Out?

Here we are entering the sixth year of the depression and we are still looking for the way out At first we tried to slogan our way out. You remember, Business is just around the corner; Buy now'; Share the work plan", etc. Then we tried to debate ourselves out, each person having his own theory. You recall, Mid dleman's profits; Repeal the 18th Amendment" "Overproduction" 'Tar- iffs"; European debt"; "Chain store mer- gers"; etc.
 Next we listened to the economic pro- fessors give us the low-down on hard money, sound money, rubber money, in- flation and deflation, business cycle, etc. Next we got the alphabetical system through Roosevelt and this is where we really got our first bit of action. Up to then we were doing lot of talking and listening to lot of talking. The alpha betical system is striking few snags and may be skidding badly.
 It's simply due to the fact that it is be- inc financed by an outworn credit system
 which demands more taxes and bonded indebtedness. To feed the hungry and eIothe the naked we must pay profit to <he bond holders. That such a system eannot continue to go on much longer IS {o be admitted.

"A Book a Day
Ickes Demands End of Wealth. Grabbing
 By BRUCE CAPTION

In "The New Democracy" Secre- tary of the Interior Harold l.. Ickes sets the rugged individualist up against stone wall and glce- fully plugs him full of small, round holes. The book is his exposition of the New Deal, his version of what the Roosevelt administration is trying to do, and what happened in recent lhiears to make a new deal neceS- sary.
 "There is a clear distinction," he declares, "between that desirable and praiseworthy individualism that is the natural result of self sufficiency and forthrightness :. and the acquisitive, exploiting qual- ities of a ruthless minority who would achieve wealth and power regardless of the rights of others. The latter qualities are characteris- tic of rugged individuaiism."
 "To make up for the fortunes that have accrued to handful out of the destruction of our forests and the greedy exploitation of our lands, our strea ms, and our mines, the people of the United States will in the end be called upon to pay literally billions of dollars"
 In demanding an end of exploita- tion, Mir Ickes declares firmly for a planned economy. He visions the government as insuring to the Siti- zen good housing. good health. and support during unemployment anu old age, as checking irresponsible exploitation. and as promoting edu- cation and the chance of a decent job for every man who wants one. He suggests that a critic of the "brain trust" should be searched, no reasoned with: "You may find the reason for his views in his pocket"

 Moscow (UP)-Well, the good ship Soviet Oil', is once again the good ship Soviet Oil" and every- body is happy. That is, everybody except possibly Ivan Alexandra witch Panik. But there was lot of excitement while it lasted.
 This story. goes back to the day a few years ago when the crew of the Soviet .Oil,"i putting it's way through the Indian Ocean, saw flames leaping from the French steamer "Georges Philippar" and, with hardy heroism rescued it's passengers. ss
 Put on Map
 Y The rescue story was noised abroadlin the world press and put the Soviet Oil on the map. Or perhaps it would be more precise to say the navigation charts. She was proud ship and other ships recognized her claim to high rank in the hierarchy of the sea. For instance, there was that day down in the Suez Canal when a great French liner, abandoning it's primacy in the presence of a hero. invited the ''Sovviet Oil" to precede it through the locks while tho great boats gold braided crew lined the rails and shouted: "Viva la Soviet Oil"
 Such a name and reputation were not to eb taken lightly.
 Headed Tanker Fleet
 Ivan Alexandrovitch Planik is head of the Soviet tanker fleet and. as such, is the boss of the. Soviet Oil" Perhaps he is a student of Shakespeare and learned from the English bard that a rose by any other name is just as sweet. nAy- way, wathever the reason, he de- cided one day that the Soviet Oil" should become "Baku."
 Painters with big black pots and brushes approached the Soviet Oii'' In dry-dock one day shortly afterward. plotted out her fair name and substituted "Baku," while the heroes of the "Geoges Philippar" episode looked on in anger and amazement.
 Journalists Turned Trick
 The heroic Soviet ou" still might be, sailing under the prosaic and false name of "Baku" f. it hadn't been for a couple Of feliowh up in Moscow who, in their role 0f Journalistic testers. delight in dig. glng vitriolIe pens into the ribs Of officials now and then. They wrote . piece for the papers which made Ivan Aienandr0vitch PaBik's ears take on . reddish hue.

Washington, Nov. 21-It has now been nearly one year since George Peek set up his import export bank.
 It's creation was welcomed with hurrahs. Press conferences were held to explain in elaborate detail how the bank would func- ton. Detailed studies of foreign trade were issued showing how the import export bank might restore A m ric.an exports abroard.
 It was proposed that the bank should grant credits to American business men wishing to finance foreign sales, also to foreign countries desiring to purchase here.
 Despite all the ballyhoo. only one loan has been made It was for $4,OOO,O0O and went to the tiny republic of Cuba. It was ne. gotiated, incidentally, by the state department, not the import export bank.
 Reason for this inertia is two- fold. One is the fact that reviv- al of foreign trade is a lot harder than the enthusiastic MT Peek and his cohorts realized.
 Credits alone will not do it, unless there is some prospects of those credits being paid back.
 The second was a bitter clash of personalities.
 Originally, the import-export bank was to have gone hand-in- hand with negotiations of com mercial treaties. But Cor d e ] Hull wanted to negotiate com mercial treaties himself. And he didn't want George Peek around.
 So each went off into his own corner. And each has done prac- tically nothing.
 When the history of the New Deal is written, the clash of per sonalities will get credit for terrific toll in errors.

Judging by reports from Bridgeport the three senators elected from that city will not spend their time endeavoring to secure the passage of legislation favorable to their constituents, but to the party to which they claim allegiance. And their actions in the Senate will not be self directed. Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport is to be their guiding genius When he says vote "aye", we presume they will vote "aye". If he points his thumb downward, the vote, we again presume, will be "nay". All of which is not conducive to good government It is all right for these three socialist legislators, the first to be elected in our General As sembly, to work for their particular gov ernmental beliefs but they must remem- Der that in hindering the progress of good government they do not accomplish any, good purpose. Perhaps this statement is not warranted. We hope so.

PressConment
SPREAD TAXATION
(New Britain Herald)

The decision to tax the property of private schools in New York represents an idea that is spread ing rapidly. The tax money evaded by such institutions must be paid by others, and the others gre get ting tired of their burdens. A somewhat similar plan struck Connecticut a year ago when 1t was planned to tax certainy property of Yale University. The danger, was the possibility of going to extremes and no change was made in the taxation status for the pres ent. There is little doubt, as cities and states continue to suffer in- creasing bangs of the financial Jit- ters, that they win turn with in- creasing vehemence toward money earning properties of institutions at present granted the favors of tax exemption.

 "Pcrhaps," piped up a news- man, you could lend us a few telephone numbers?"
 The colonel laughed uproar- iously.
 "Oh, I was only talking in theories, not tangibilities," he replied.

Some years ago small boys used to wage enthusiastic over the tales of the pony express riders of the West. Whenever Wild West show came to town it was the pony express rider who attracted the attention of the youth of the community. Now away out in Utah shaft has been erected to mark a pony express station. The spot was one of 190 set up in mail route between Missouri and the Pacific coast Ibapah in Deep Crook Valley now honors the pony express rider, great pioneer and one who should be immortal ized in lasting bronze or granite.
