PEACE NOV
TO BE OPENED
BY PRESIDENT
International News Service

AMLeEuatlOnAA MOVIE 9cENAc~
President Roosevelt will short
~ initiate a decisive and far
reaching move in the interest Of
world peace, it was learned to-
day.
Some of his close advisers on
foreign affairs feel the mt :;
promising course would be q
presidential invitation to the vari-
Gus powers to reopen the Geneva
Arms Conference in a supreme
effort to arrest the ornaments
rae, which they believe Is push
ing Europe towards another world
conflict.
Even his closest advisers have
not been apprised Of the course
the President will pursue. His
campaign speeches revealed no
indications OF his plans in for
eign affairs.
Stain, Hitler to Balk
His advisers said, however, that
his repeated declarations Of his
hatred of war foreshadowed the
presentation after election o:
some dramatic and concrete plan
to mobilize world forces to con-
solidate peace.
Published prediction forecasts
that he would invite the Russian,
German and Italian dictatorS and
the King of England to q round
table peace conference will not
be borne out, it was disclosed.
Josef Stain would be obliged to
assume governmental functions he
now Scorns to represent Soviet
Russia, while Chancellor Hitler
would refuse to sit down at the
same table with the accredited
representative of state he detests
so thoroughly, diplomats declared.
Geneva May Be ReOpened
On the other hand, resumption
of the Geneva conference could
be arranged with comparative
ease, the Presidents advisers point
out. Though it foundered COM
pletely on Frances refusal to con-
slider Ger many's rearmament
nleaS, the conference technically
is still continuing.
Only few weeks ago, at the
suggestion of France, the third
committee of the League Of Ma
lions assembly. which deals with
disarmament, agreed that the as
sembly bureau be reconvened at
some indefinite time. The bureau
constituted a steering committee
for the disarmament conference.
State Department experts said
if the President asks the confer
ence be reconvened, he will prob
ably reiterate and expand his
three-point program to the original
conference.

The profit motive and the "pro-
duction for use" philosophy are
alien to each other, both theore-
tically and actually. Profit is pri-
marily and necessarily concern
ed with dividends. Production
for use" would concentrate all its
activities around social service.
Profit ever raises the. jungle en-
sign, show much can get for
myself" Production for use, chow
much can a collective society
create and distribute for itself"
These two PHILOSOPHERS are ire
concilable. The profit system
must step out Of the industrial
arena, as production for use steps
In.
Profit is forced to limit produc-
ton to boost prices. It has no
other alternative. Scarcity and
profit are Siamese twins. Neither
can exist without the other. Even
George Creel, a vigorous defender
Of capitalism, admitted in a. re-
cent article that all productivity
must be limited below the actual
needs of the American people to
keep up price levels. What an ad-
nlissiOnl Some must be deprived
Of the sinews Of life, no matter
how much can be produced, that
the profiteering system may be
preserved.
Capitalism fears a plentitude
Of goods and services to meet the
needs Of all, more than that it
fears all the dust storms,
drOughts, grasshoppers and Nor
mon crickets that ever infested
our soil and depleted our crops.
Even our president boosted that
the lean crop Of last year brought
in more dollars than the fat crop
OF 1892. The present world short
age OF wheat and bread stuff
seems to be a minor matter to a
profit motivated society. When
will it sink into the thinking of
the American people that pros
perIty cannot be measured by the
yard stick of dollars? Just why
Is he a brainless sap who dares
to vision prosperity in terms Of
what can be created and distri-
buted In the homes Of the people.
1t seems to me that the saps are
IN the other pew.
Under a profit program our in
dustrial organism cannot distri-
butte the goods that it can pro-
duce. This is more than a theory. |.
1t can be demonstrated with ma
thamatical accuracy. A hypothe- |
teal case will clarity that fact.
Assume that our nation owns a |
giant factory, and that all the
goods OF the world food, cloth |
ing, shelter and all else-must |
pass thru our factory before they
can be distributed. Make the
third assumption that the entire |
population Of the planet are work |
ing as employees, for or in, our
octopus factory. Millions are pro-
ducing raw material; other mil |
lions are hauling it to our fac
tory; more millions are keeping |
up the highways Of commerce:
still more millions are working in |
our factory to convert the raw
material into the finished product; |
and lastly millions Of statesmen
are distributing the output.
The only possible way by which
our giant factory could give back
to our employees-who make IN
the worlds population, sufficient |
purchasing power to absorb and |
use all those produced goods,
would be to pay them in wages /
the exact selling price of those |
commodities, in which case our
factory would get no profit. Pro

goods at a higher cost than theiT ]

Why a Profit Controlled
Society cannot Produce for Use

R4@49S@4Q4AS
Of the world possibly bug all
those goods unless they had In
their pocket books as much money
as would be represented In thelx
selling price, and how could they
get the money unless we paid
them for raw material and In
wages the exact equivalent Of our
selling price?
Even then, if all those goods
were to be absorbed by society,
an iron law must be passed 70
compel every worker to spend his
entire wage. There could be no
saving for old age, NO insurance
policies, no social security laws.
IF we should operate our factory
under the slightest profit, unsafe
able goods would be bound to pile
up at the tail end Of the factory.
The smaller our profit, the long
er the factory could operate with
out amassing unsaleable goods.
The larger our profit, the sooner
we must close down by reason Of
incomplete purchasing power. But
under any profit to Us, however
small, there would ultimately Be
a deadlock between our capacity
to produce and the words capa~
city to buy. And Of course the
moment we close shop the people
Of the planet would be ont Of
Jobs and out Of purchasing lever.
age.
The only possible way by which
our factory could run indefinite
ly, under a profit system, would
be to place an incinerator at the
tail end Of our plant and burn
up the exact amount Of goods
that represent our profit. The re-
suit is always parallel whether
we have one giant factory, Great
ing all the goods in use by man
kind, or ten million factories,
farms, mines and other prOduc-
ing agencies.
This is the reason, as Karl
Marx indexed many years ago,
that financial cataclysms are In
trinsic to a profit controlled So
ciety. Always they arise from the |
fact that purchasing leverage is
not equal to productive output. |
New and better machinery only |
increases the conplOxitys Of the
problem. Machines increase pro-
ductivity but constantly decrease
purchasing power by the displace-
ment Of wage earners.
