Boom-Boom

Major Angas, who prophesied last summer a boom that actually seems to be developing, has now made still more startling forecast. He says there will be an American demand next year for B. 100000 automobiles. He arrives at this figure by adding to the normal yearly de- mard the shortage created by the un- filled demand of recent years.
 The American automobile industry, though perhaps the most efficient indus try of any type in the world, cannot make 100000 cars in one year. But 1t is doubt less willing to do it's best in that direc- ton. It's highest achievement was lit- tie over 5,000,000 just before the depres- sion. Maybe 1t could produce 6,000,0OO next year, with good pace already at tained by the 1938 models when the new year daWns. To do so it would have to keep its factories roaring on all through the summer, and might not be able to slow down for any extensive changes Of model next fall.
 Such spurt could only be caused by general business improvement of large di- mensions throughout the country. In turn it would so fertilize many other irl- dustries as to leave no question that re- covery had come with rush.
 we Sndll see. Our Pcople nave lldu too many disappointments and delays to swallow any such exuberant forecast without reservations. Yet it might come. Certainly the country is rich enough, even after it's depression losses, and has enough accumulated demand for all sorts of things, and has enough capacity to produce and pass them around If people will only have faith and pull together, and if business and government will call truce.

New Haven Road Crisis
Application For Reorganization Inevtable-What The
 Outcome Will Be Is Difficult to Visualize
(From The New Haven Journal Courier)

regulatory system. The popular ex- planation of the present crisis by the critics of big business will be managerial inisjudgment, etc; but 1t is clear this, even if 1t were true, is not the whole explanation. The whole explanation must include legislative hobbies on that man. agerial Judgment. subsidized com- petitive devices, harness of oper- ating charges progressively gaining in weight under new enactments; and 8 rate structure externally governed by often non-commercial considerations.
 Now this wide Intervention of public control in the railroading business was justified originally, of course. by conditions in that busi- ness. The day of railroad imperial ism was 6 day sometimes of mod- flied piracy, always of great adven- ttire, often of exploitation of pulp lie which finally imposed control. The economies of railroading with its heavy percentage of costs in fixed and continuing charges on capital, etc., led inevitably to mon- opoly. Monopoly, by definition, in- vltes public control; when compe- tition fails to coerce rates, wages, etc.. to market averages, control Is the alternative.
 ! But as Thomas Woodlock, former ICC member has recently shown in The Wall Street Journal, the origi- nal ground for detailed control has now declined. Control was imposed because the railroads faced no com petition; 1t is now continued though they face competition of the most perilous sort. The interstate com- merce act was passed fifty years ago when there were no passenger autos, no trucks, no airplanes, no extensive system of subsidized wa terways comparable to the present. It continues to impose detailed regulation 0 nthe roads, constantly supplemented by new congressional impositions, though the roads are now one of many instruments.

Dutch Schultz-The Payof

Arthur Dutch Schultz) Flengenheimer has met the ultimate end of gangdom, be it's reign short or long, sensational or sordid, an untimely end at the hanos ol warning hoodlums.
 Such is the inevitable end for the man, or men, who live without the law. US the final payoff, which either comes rom a clash with the law or those warning elements within their own strata beyond the law.
 So in any event Schultz's exit from the bizarre environment of the underworld is no different than the thousands who have preceded him and will follow in his wake despite the lesson that it teaches crime does not pay.
 This latest outburst of gang warfare further proves there is no safety for the gangster, big or little. When he enters upon the dubious intricacies of his nefarious career his days are numbered Sooner or later he must accept the final payoff-a forfeit life.
 The story of Schultz is no different than hundreds of others, written in far ing headlines for time, soon to be for gotten. For a day his career and dra- matic exit will pre-empt the page-one news of the nations press, but no one save his very own will shed tear. Such is the way of those who live beyond the law. They are big only in their own estimations, which in the end is their undoing. They can't escape the payoff.

Selected Poem
SHOOTING STAB

(By George A. Ryan in The New York Times) Tonight the Shepherd Moon, 50 old and wise. Stood dreaming on Horizon Hill the day When he might venture from his orb away Into the blue-clear solitude that lies Beyond the furthest rim his straining eyes Dscerned his Star-sheepb grazing play. "Oh, too well fed this flock ever to stray If some dusk forever break all ties" So old the moon, and yet . gypsy vein Forever stirred in him wanderlust When some etar-sheep would wake, as from
 dream,
 Burn with sudden great desire and gain Eternity-lcaving behind hre-dlst Gone ell too soon ever to trace the scheme.

The Interstate Commerce Com- missions refusal to allow an REQ loan to the New Haven Road brings the corporations troubles to a head. The application for reorgarl- ization was inevitable as the com- mission and President Palmer paint the picture; rejection left imrne- diately payable taxes and debt claims totally unprepared for. The ICC finds the earning potentialities 50 low that further extensions of credit would be against the public interest; while the Roads accept able collateral is pretty well taken up already to bolster outstanding indebtedness running into very sub- stantial money indeed.
 Whatever the immediate cause and cure, we may be sure we see locally further symptom of the rail difficulties matched by our

We Ought to Count by 12's, He Asserts
 BY BRUCE CAPTION

Because primitive man counted on his fingers, civilized society has adopted the decimal system in its arithmetic: and this system, far from being the handy and well-nigh perfect thing we suppose 1t to be-, is actually very cumbersome and could easily be replaced by sorIie- thing better.
 So says r. Emerson Andrews in New Numbers" which is as in- teresting c little book as you are apt to run across.
 Mr. Andrews simply suggests that we jump from 10 to 12 as Q base for our system of numbers. Let two new numbers be invented, he says. to take the place of the existing 10 and II. For 10. he sug- gcsts the Roman x, to be called "dec;;" for il, the symbol E, to be called "elf." Then let the mineral we write as 10 stand for 12 units, and let our whole system be based on that.
 What we would get. he says, is . far more flexible arithmetic. We could figure such things as feet and inches, dozens. tho 12 months of the year, and 50 on, decimally. Our numerical system would have many more whole numbers, and ordinary housekeeping arithmetic would be much simpler. Figuring in general would be easier. with less debris in the way of fractions.
 Mir. Andrews goes on to add that we should beware of adopting the metric system of weights and rsea- surcs. That, he says, would rivet on Us irrcvocably the business oi counting by tens; and we don't want to do that because counting by tweiyes Is ever so much simpler It's an interesting Idea and on interesting book.
