second session of the autumn, last
Sunday afternoon, with Mrs. Claude
Cooper. Last year, this club of
young ladies made its bow to the
public, by sponsoring a Thanks

ing many INDECENT families happy
during the Thanksgiving holiday.
They later captured second prize

rent will be increased to SIS Q month.
Supply and demand!
This situation collides head-on with
the supply and demand Of money for
consumption. II price increases are
coming. purchasing power will decline
all along the line and we shall all have
to tighten our belts. Although expert
ence has justified the New Deal theory
that recovery comes through boosting
the purchasing power of the mass of
our people-by relief. pump printing,
A. A. A.. N. r. A., etc.-we now face
the serious prospect that emergency
expenditures will be reduced just when
they are most needed.
Internal Fight Brewing.
The Chamber of Commerce boys
seem to labor under the impression
that Roosevelt is bound by the Repub-
lican platform and are moving In on
the administration the way a small
boy moves in on Christmas stocking.
There is big fight brewing inside the
administration itself over the question
Of whether the New Deal should sur
render its policies to the losers of the
last election.
The -budgeteers are CO.
agulating around Henry Morgenthau
and Uncle Danl Roper, with many
prospective allies on Capitol Hill.
The pump-priming, free-spending
school Of New Deal politics is led by
Mariner Eccles, Harry Hopkins, Har-
old Ickes and-believe it or not-Jesse
Jones of the r. F. c. They propose
to follow the election returns. Where
Roosevelt stands is not definitely
known but the White House secretariat
is conservative and may well reflect
the views of the Great White Father.
The New Deal experts, who feel
called upon to solve this neat little
problem in political economy, see only
one way to avoid serious trouble: To
help the durable goods industries by
large scale, low-cost housing pro-
gram executed by P. w. A. and
w. P. A. workers. Otherwise, they
feel that the business cycle will do its
merciless stuff on the stuffed shirts
Of business and on the bulging ballot
boxes Of the New Deal.
They do not believe that Roosevelt
has altered the ebb and flow of busi-
ness activity which has given us 20
toboggan rides in the last three genera
tions. and fear that the classic Chinese
description of such excursions
"Whish! Whish! Walkee back a mile!"
will still apply to the American way
Of business life. unless the Govern
ment undertakes a new responsibility
toward the working Of our economic
institutions.

Late one night tall, austere. bearded

been a consultant in the development
OF the Diesel engine, but requested
me not TO mention his visit to any

No reason for his disappearance or

w YHILE the stock marketeers
NA/ are making joyful noise
w unto r. D. r. and shouting
"Hosannah!" to the highest
business statistics since everything
went blank in front Of Hoover, the
men in the New Deal chart room are
celd- -bloodedly calculating that the
present boom will not last much be-
yond Roosevelt's second inauguration
and are all ready to stave of the next
slump.
This is because Mr.. Roosevelt-de-
spite the angry charges Of the cam
paign-has not abolished finance capi-
talism in the United States, and SO
long as that remains, perhaps longer,
we are subject to the rule Of the busi-
ness cycle. Whether, as Jevons claimed
the periodic alienation OF boom and
bust is due to sun spots or, as others
insist, to plain human nature, this
country has lived through 20 business
cycles since 1855.
And If there is anything In expert
ence, the voice Of the past hints. as
cheerfuly as a surgeon diagnosing a
bad appendix, that the present upturn
is approaching its end.
The situation is not unlike that OF
1929. The upturn under Coolidge
began in December, 1927 The con-
struction index fell of in 1928 and by
June, 1929, the other indices of pro-
duction also started for the trough OF
the wave. Public business psychology
kept the market boiling till October,
1929. but the creation of real wealth
fell of rapidly and the crash followed.
Boom Period Short.
There was a period Of 18 months
between the beginning Of the upturn
and its high point; period OF four
months between the high point and
the crash
The present New Deal boom began
in June, 1885. The l8 months of in
creased production should expire by
the end of December. 1886 Public
political psychology should keep the
pot boiling for another two or three
months and then another day of
reckoning should come.

duction are approaching the old 1929
