mand which tends to make prices
rise May | ask why does not the
money paid as relief to the unem-
ployed and used to buy goods in stock
not have like effect? Would not this
relief buying tend to hasten the re-
duction of inventories that you say
is inevitable and necessary" These
are pertinent questions. and a failure
to understand the correct answer TO
them has led to widespread misun-
derstanding of the economics of the
problem. The preceding questions
doubtless are due to the brevity with
which | was forced to write. Now TO
the answer.
People do not spend their incomes
to any measurable extent for the
things or services which provide their
incomes. Not less than 81 per cent of
the total national income goes to wage
earners; and wage earners spend their
money. not for jobs. or the things
that give them their jobs. but for con-
sumers goods and services. Even the
employee in the grocery or clothing
store spends most of his income else
where. This is also true of farmers
and even of large proportion of in
vestors. Thus. the source of ones in
come is one thing; the things for
which it is spent are something else.
The expenditures of the great mass
of people are for consumers goods
and services: such expenditures as
are made for investments are nearly
all made by the middle and upper
classes. by the rich, and by corpora
tons. In normal times probably 40
per cent of the total investments are
made by corporations. The expendi-
lures of all people on relief are for
consumers goods.
The source of these incomes is TO
be noted. A very small proportion
Of them. perhaps one-fifth to one

A textile factory in northern Eng

ployees may work for months only two or

work with such a will that they usually

Nebraska Convention Backs

OMAHA. Nebr., May "a political
paradox-Nebraska Democrats urging
Independent Republican Senator
George w. Norris to seek reelection
while failing to indorse their own
party's Senate nominee-attracted
wide attention today.
A platform adopted by the State
Democratic convention last night made
no mention of the Democratic sena-
torial candidate, former Congressman
Terry Carpenter, but set forth:
1--WE recognize in him (Norris) the
ablest champion in the Congress. -
He alone can complete the program he
Is engaged upon. Able though other
sons of Nebraska be, there is not
among them one who can supplant
him In the senatorship without ire
prable loss to the cause Of popular
government. The need for his return
to his unfinished work in the Congress
outweighs all consideration Of party
and party regularity and transcends
all fair regard for the political aspira-
tions, however worthy. of any indi-
vidual"
Carpenter charged the platform was
rushed through with 90 per cent of
the delegates having already left for
home and the balance talking so loud
L" . they accepted the report without
knowing what it contained" He prom
ised an unprecedented" campaign.
Carpenter. supported by Townsend
ties, attacked Arthur F. Mullen, former
Democratic national committeeman,
and Senator Edward Burke through
out the recent primary campaign.
Carpenter was defeated by Burke for
national committeeman, but won the
senatorial nomination. Then Burke
said he would urge Norris to run.
Norris. IS, member of Congress 30
years, declined to enter the primary,
but petitions are expected to be cir
culated to make him an independent
candidate against Carpenter and Rob-
ert G. Simmons, Republican Senate
nominee.

LIBERALS V|CTORS
IN CHURCH FIGHT
Win Right to Use Methodist
Name in Social Service
Groups.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the ASbOClhteO FreSs.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 8.-The
powerful Committee on State Of the
Church Of the Methodist Episcopal
General Conference upheld yesterday
the right of unofficial groups to use
the name Methodist" but denounced
attempts of such groups to speak for
the church itself.
The committee adopted a report OF
q subcommittee headed by DR.. G.
Bromley Oman, president of Depauw
University, aimed at settlement Of q
growing dispute between the church
over activities of the Methodist Fed
Grafton for social service and similar
groups.
The same committee refused to ap-
prove a proposal to iberalize condi-
tions under which Methodist ministers
are allowed to ofticiate at marriages
of persons who have been divorced.
Withholding a recommendation on
the Federation itself, the sub-commit-
tee headed by Oman. himself men,
Der of the Liberal Federation, de-
clared that since these
associations are composed of Metho-
dists their right to use the word
Methodist cannot be denied -"
I'VE regret that some of our un-
official organizations, using the term
Methodists, have at times Endorsed
candidates for Office solely because
they we're in favor Of prohibition"
the report, which will be submitted
to the general conference for approval,
said.
I'VE regret that some organizations,
also using the word Methodist, have
seen fit to ally themselves with Or
ganizations that would fight war and
Fascism, but which remain strangely
silent upon such issues as war and
Communism" the report stated.
The committee rejected a bone
dry" proposal to substitute the word
cup" for the word wine" in cele-
bration Of the Lords supper, and pro-
vide that pure water" could be used
instead of the pure unfermented juice
of the grape" in taking communion.
DR.. Harold P. Sloan of Woodbury.,
N. j., led opposition to the proposal.
Such change would have a
tendency to support the belief that
the Methodist Church was bit fanat-
ical on the matter of prohibition" he
said

PARIS, May 8 R.-France found
scant satisfaction today in Great
Britain's Locarno QUESTIONABLE to
Germany. Unofficial sources termed it
vague"
Ohicial comment was withheld until
the foreign Office had time to study
the document, but the press reflected
a feeling that it failed to clearly ad
vance the French questions concern
ing Adolf Hitler's intentions.
France had sought specific questions
as to whether Germany had renounced
designs" on Austria and other neigh
bors, whether or not the Reich was
willing to guarantee it would not
attack Russia and what might be the
Nazi colonial demands.

any agreement which might be said
to have its origin in the provisions of
Versailles
Britain's communication also asked
clarification of Germany's stand as to
whether conclusion of Western Eu-
ropean air pact could be accompanied
by an air limitation agreement.
"A decision not to attempt to ac-
company a Western air pact by a re-
gional agreement for limitation of air
strength would be very much re-
gretted by his majesty's government"
the British QUESTIONABLE said.
Great Britain expressed gratiflca-
ton that Germany proposed conclu-
sion of series Of non aggression pacts,
but asked whether the Reich agreed
these pactS also may be guaranteed
by mutual assistance arrangements"
With Germanys expressed readiness
to re-enter the League Of Nations, the
QUESTIONABLE said, Britain assumes
no difficulty will arise as regards con-
formity of the proposed non-aggres-
sion pacts with obligations of members
of the League of Nations, and that the
operations of these pacts win take
place within the framework Of the
Covenant"
Interpretation Suggested.
Concerning states on Germany's
southeastern and northeastern from
tiers" in Germany's suggestion for
new treaties, Britain suggested gen.
eral settlement would be very greatly
facilitated if the German government
could see way to interpret these
words to cover at least also the Soviet
Union, Latvia and Estonia as we'll as
states actually contiguous to Ger
many"
Britain asked Germany for clarifi-
cation of its proposal for an interna-
tional court of arbitration, including
its functions, its constitution and the
relation it would bear to the League
Council and The Hague Permanent
Court for International Justice.

that they would not yield more than
$4,000 00-and the finance commit
tees and the General Assembly decid-
ed that Mr.. Maxwel's rather than
DR.. McDonald's figures were correct.
The General Assembly turned down
and refused to enact single one of
DR.. McDonald's major tax proposals.
which included an occupational tax
on small incomes, a merchants Ii
cense tax of more than $1,OOO,OOO a
year which the merchants would have
had to pay out of their gross income,

It is expected that Mr.. Maxwell Will
take up some of these tax proposals,
as well as those made by DR.. McDon-

even if most of the Mcdonald tax
program should he enacted, it would
still not provide enough revenue to
meet his spending program of about
$5O,000,0OO year.
