GOTHAM THRONGS
1885 AUTO SHOW
Vivid CoIors and Four Major
Changes Noted in New
Creations.
Sy the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 5.-Vivid
spiashes OF color, the motor cars
for 1885 made their first public ap-
pearance today. drawing tremendous
crowds that New York automobile
show officials estimated would break
all records for the opening day.
Beauty is stressed, along with
safety. economy and many mechanical
improvements. The automobile of
1885. of course, is streamlined, aero
dynamic. airstreamed, aeroformed or
airfiowing, which means to the lay
man that 1t glideS through the air
with the greatest of ease. Twenty
eight passenger car lines are being
shown.
Four Major Charges.
Four major changes stand out, these
being:
A new type of spring suspension
on many models, which is said to
synchronize and balance front and
back springing.
Motors have been moved forward
from 5l2 to 8 inches on many lines
in an effort to balance the body
more perfectly.
Bodies are wider, and there is
more head room. Even so. the new
models hug the ground more closely,
with the center of gravity lowered
IL to 2 inches. This has been done
without loss of room by f1attening
the springs.
The front end of almost every make
has been redesigned, and horsepower
has been increased in many makes
by higher ratio of compression, not
by increasing the bore and stroke.
The average hike in horsepower is
five.
A six-foot man can look straight
ahead and see over the tops of most
of the new cars. There are a num-
Der Of completely new lines, put out
mostly by manufacturers of the So
called medium priced and high-priced
makes.
Price Group Competition.
Competition this year seems to CEN
ter in the price group just above the
lines known as popular-price (Chev-
olet. Ford, Plymouth and Terraplane)
with two completely new skies (Pon-
tiac and Hudson) being made by
manufacturers. who last year limited
their production to eights.
In opening the show. Mayor F. H
La Guardia expressed the hope for the
industry that this is not only the
opening of a motor show. but also
is the start Of a new era of pros
perity for the Nation"
Manufacturers were optimistic over
their chances for higher sales records
and expressed the hope that 1895
would show a greater percentage of
over 1888.

BOOKS DECLARED
OBSCENE BARRED
Batch Taken From Woman

Is Scrutinized.
BY the Associated Press.

The Government yesterday refused
entry to a fresh batch Of literature
which the Customs Bureau tagged
obscene.
Nine Of IL books anG magazines,
taken from Mrs. Hazel Moore, ar
irving at New York on September "a,
1884, were, after review by the Gus
toms Bureau, called importations of
type prohibited by the laws.
Film Decision Awaited.
The decision was made while
Treasury officials still were ponder
ing whether the Czechoslovakian
motion picture Ecstasy" in which
the heroine appears in one scene in
the nude, is fit for American eyes.
The film was impounded by New York
customs after 1t was denounced by
the Pope and by Fritz Mandel. wealthy
husband of the heroine. A decision is
expected soon.
The Customs Bureau determined
that 1.-THE Rhythm of Sterility and
Fertility in Women" as well as What
is Constructive Birth Control were
fit and proper books, but turned
thumbs down on the remainder of
Mrs. Moore's transient library which
included:
Biological and Medical Aspects
of Contraception."
Therapeutic Contraception."
Letters to Mothers.
"a Letter to Working Mothers on
70. to Have Healthy Children and
Avoid Weakening Pregnancies."
Several copies of The Birth Con-
troll News" and THE New Genera
ton"
The books were returned to the
collector of customs at New York for
appropriate disposition which
means that the disputed periodicals
will be destroyed.

that Congress provide medium of ex-

Soviet Breaks Habits
OF Asiatic NOmads

MOSCOW-After II years of strug-
gle which has gone on mostly in re-
mote areas where outsiders seldom
have penetrated in the past, the
Soviet government claims to have
broken off nomadic habits of almost
1000, 900 members of wandering tribes
within the borders of the country. An
attempt to wipe out racial or group
habits of living, the effort to settle
the nomadic tribes of Northern
Siberia and Central Asia might rank
as laboratory experiment in q cate
CORY with the effort to collectivize
the peasant farmers, but in this case
experiments have been carried on in
most cases far from the civilized
regions.
The .remoteness of Northern Siberia
and such other obstacles as the gov
ernment regulations which forbids
outsiders to visit Central Asia have
left the rest of the world mostly un-
aware of what is going on. According
to a recent report in the Izvestia, the
Council of Nationalities now believes,
although statistics are not exact, that
two-thirds of the 10000, 900 members
of the wandering tribes which were
supposed to exist in pre-revolutionary
Russia have been made to settle down
as farmers or stockbreeders with fixed
abodes. This has been accomplished
since 1928. Gypsies, Kirghis, Kali
muks, Oirats and many other types of
wanderers, with widely different Gus
toms and habits, all have felt the
contact of the Soviet authority.

BY NICHOLAS ROOSEVELT.

YHEN Lewis Douglas, former
\A/ budget director under
wv President Roosevelt, re-
marked recently that a
planned economy is impossible under
the American Constitution a number
Of his old associates scornfully asked
why he brought up that subject at
all. The reason is that planned econ
omy underlies much of the New Deal
The phrase still has such an alien
sound in American ears that it Is
worth defining:
Planned economy is a form of
twentieth century paternalism. 1t i'm
plies the planning of national life in
the interest of the naticu as a whole.
1t assumes that there is an ascertain
able limit to q nations capacity to
consume and to the worlds capacity
to absorb a nations surplus. Produc-
tion is to be adjusted to consumption.
This means that those industries and
branches of agriculture which today
produce too much must reduce their
production. Those which produce too
little must either increase their out
put or must be supplemented by
imports"
Part Of Planned Economy.
The A. A. A. Is part of planned
economy. 1t starts from the aSsump-
ton (which happens to be incorrectly
that the United States was suffering
from reproduction (whereas the
truth Is that it was suffering from
uoder consumption-from a loss of
markets both inside and outside the
country. The A. A. A. then decreed
that the production Of certain COM
modities should be reduced to conform
to the theory of what a balanced
economy should be.
Obviously back Of planned
economy-as back of the A. A. A
there must be a plan. Back of the
plan there must be planners.
Here is the first complication. The
planners, faced with the task of plan

persons of different occupations, diff
ferent origins and living under differ
ent climatic and economic conditions,

that a national economic planning
board should include Socrates, a
Solomon. J. p. Morgan, sr.; Henry
Ford and an Einstein-not to men

then have to inform themselves in
detail about the complete economic
activities of the entire Nation and
devise plan to improve it. That such
a task is possible of realization is
most unlikely.

Supposing, however. that a perfect
plan is devised. 1t must then be put
into effect This means not only Gre
ating a bureaucracy several times
larger than the present New Deal
army to make known the details and
impose the plan, but it also means
giving to the Government the power
to punish chiselers, slackers. non-co-
operators and rugged individualists.
This. in turn, implies that the Gov
ernment will have the power not only
to dictate to the individual what he
may do, but what he must do. In
other words, it is only step from
planning to enforcement, and from
enforcement to submission on the part

Former Budget Director Expresses
View Planned Economy Is Impossible

! Of the Observation-Disclosures under
fear of punishment.
Why mince words? This is autoc-
racy. This is form of twentieth
century slavery.
When the question is asked, What
has this to do with the New Deal? the
answer is, Very much" Under
the Bankhead cotton-c control bill. for
example, the Government tells the in
dividual farmer how many bales Of
cotton he may raise and can punish
him If he tries to dispose of more
than his quota. In the potato-control
bill the Government not only denies
the right to raise potatoes to any one
who has not yet raised any and pre-
scribes the exact number of bushels
which each farmer may raise, but it
threatens with 1000 fine or a year

made OF, and this is part of a planned

like having the subject of a planned

The greatest danger in all this

began with wheat, corn and hogs,
cotton and tobacco. 1t has since ex-
tended to other grains and got as far
as peanuts when some one discovered
that land taken out of peanuts was
being put into potatoes. Then came
the demand for potato control-and
control will inevitably be demanded
over other vegetables.
Essence Is Government Control.
What can the Republicans do about
it?
Keep hammering at the elemental
truth in Lew Douglas statement.
Show that the New Deal rests on a
planned economy, and a planned
economy is simply polite name for
an economic dictatorship. Show that
an economic dictatorship. to be eff
fective, must be backed by a political
dictatorship. Its every essence is
Government control. not individual
freedom of action. 1t implies that the
individual Is the tool of the Govern
ment, and not that the Government Is
the servant and protector of the in
dividual.
Once in power it is the clear duty Of
the Republicans to scrap all legisla-
ton tending toward the creation Of
planned economy. This will be easy
enough when the American people
realize what a planned economy really
is. But before the country rises it
must be informed
One of the services which the Ma

the truth about what is being done

. L the Monroe Doctrine is get
ting new lease on life from the
more alarmist of editorial writers.
They claim that the Italian scheme

pendent country in Africa may well
be taken as a warning of future
similar attacks, from that or other
European power, against the free
dom of some Latin American republic

is the only safeguard against such q
disaster in the years to come.
Apart from the fact that those who
adopt that position are overlooking
very great cultural, material. eco
nomic, even military differences be-
tween the Latin American nations,
inheritors of highly advanced Eu-
ropean civilization, and the obviously
backward peoples of the dark con-
tinent, they are also revealing ig-
norance of the motives which origi-
mated the Monroe Doctrine and of
the history Of its application.
The Monroe Doctrine was advanced
primarily to protect the interests and
the safety of the United States. Any
conscientious study of documents,
memoirs, state papers and political
conditions of the time is sufficient
to prove that, and to destroy the
romantic legend of idealism which
popular imagination has woven
around the old "shibboleth" of 1928.
1t was because of presence of power
full European colonies in its neigh
borhood was dangerous to the security
and the interests of the United States
that President Monroe warned the
world Of the concern Of his country
for the preservation of Latin Amer
ican independence.
U. S. Interests Decide.
The use and non-uSe of the doc
trine to this day, that is. the applica-
tions and the violations of the Monroe
Doctrine, furthermore show that it
was not theoretical considerations, but
very practical appraisal of the in
terests of the United States, which
in the last analysis determined either
the support or the neglect of the
famous doctrine by Monroe's sue
cessors. Whenever European designs
threatened the safety or even the
commercial interests of the United
States, the Monroe Doctrine was
hoisted to the top of the mast and
the aggressors or the would-be aggres-
sors made to retreat.
In recent discussion OF the Anglo
Italian dispute over Ethiopia, a we'll
known authority on the subject OBJ
served that Britain's support of the
League of Nations in the current
crisis was inconsistent with its in
difference to the Japanese conquest
of Manchuria, only few years ago, in
