KERENS TALKS
ON CHARACTER

Government depends for its eX-
istence upon the integrity and
character of the individual, accord
ing to Grattan Kerens, former
well-known newspaper correspond
ent, in a radio address last night
under auspices of the Committee
on Moral and Religious Training.
Mr.. Ke. ems, member of the
committee, which proposes to in
clude moral and religious train
ing in the curricula of schools
below college level, was the seven
tenth speaker in series of broad
casts sponsored by the committee.
He said:
THE morality of the individ-
uaI is a public asset. In the ulti-
mate analysis, society and gov
eminent depend for their exist
ence, their integrity, and their
continuity on the character of
their human units.
Accordingly, the State should
concern itself with the morals
of its citizens. 1t should do much
more, and much better than en-
plOy policemen and operate
prisons. These are neither pre-
ventives nor cures. They are
for the most part confessions of
SOciety'S failure"
The Washington times., 1936-08-31

While it enjoyed an increase in
passenger revenue, the Capital
Transit Company reports a deficit
of $19,080.44 in July, against a
profit of $81 ,050.79 year ago.
This is revealed in a con
denSed comparative" statement of
operation including the reports of
operations for the former Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company in
both July, 1885, and July, 1886.
This was calculated to make the
reports comparable, because the
operations formerly carried on by
the Washington Rapid Transit
Company which was merged with
the Capital Transit June IL, 1896,
were not included in the old regu-
lar company's statement for July,
1895, period before the merger.
Greater Loss Unadjusted
The net income as shown in the
regular report of the Capital Tran
sit Company without adjustment
to include the change made by
washington Rapid Transit,
showed a still greater decrease.

controller of Capital Transit, is
sued a special statement which
says in part:
Passenger revenues were

Increase of 33 per cent In net

in statistics compiled by the De-

All IS industries shown in the
survey had increases ranging from
81 per cent for leather and its
products to y per cent for iron
and steel and their products, while
stone, clay and glass products and
automobile parts each exceeded
so per cent.
without adjustment for seasonal
influences, July sales registered an
increase of 9 per cent from June
of this year, the survey revealed.

100 PCT. STEEL
RATE SEEN
POSSIBLE

The possibility that steel pro-
duction. at it's peak in the present
business cycle. may reach 100 per
cent of present theoretical annual
capacity of TO million tons of in
gotS is suggested, although not
forecast, in a current analysis Of
potential steel demand by indus
tries, published by the Standard
Statistics Company.
Production of 10 million tons of
ingots would be necessary to fill
orders for 40 million tons of fin
ished steel which various impor-
tant trades might need, provided
their production peaks fell to-
gether in one of the next several
years, and provided that the cur
rent cyclical business recovery
runs it's full course, the analysis
says.
Despite the fact that industrial
activity generally is currently run
ming at only about rs per cent of
the 1929 level, steel production at
the present time is being main
tanned at an annual rate of less
than 10 per cent below that year.
AS a full cyclical recovery in bust
ness has not yet taken place, it is
interesting to examine future pos
sfoilitieS for some answer to the
question: How high can steel pro-
duction go under the most favor
able set of conditions?
Steel production rate ad-
vanced a point to 10 per cent of
capacity last week, a new six-year
high, and backlogs of some pro-
ducers have not been materially
reduced, according to the maya
zine Steel" New specifications in
some lines have shown increases,
according to the review.
Operations last week increased
at four points, including Pitts
burgh and Youngstown, while
rates in other districts were I'M
changed.
Steel's composite scrap price
rose % cents to $15.41, the high
est level since october, 1929, and
in some quarters new advances are
expected, the review says.

j. :. FINANCIAL
POLICIES TO
BE REVISED
BY ERIC FREEDMEN
International News Service

The administrations financial
policies are expected to undergo
considerable revision at the next
session of Congress even if Pres
ident Roosevelt is reelected.
With virtually all of the special
monetary powers vested in the
Chief Executive terminating by
law in the early months of 1887,
Treasury experts today conceded
the possibility that several of
these powers would not be con-
tinued.
Up to Congress
Unless Congress enacts further
legislation, the Presidents right
to vary the gold content of the
dollar between so and 60 per cent
of the former standard; to fix
weight of the silver dollar at a
ratio in relation to the gold dol
lar; to provide for unlimited coin
age Of gold and silver at the ratio
thus fixed, and to utilize the two
billion-dollars sterilization fund as
support for the dollar in foreign
exchange, all will expire January
30, 1887.
The Administration. should it
be returned to office, also will
confront the termination of
numerous legislative powers en-
acted several years ago as part of
the recovery program.
Under existing statutes, the
President will be shorn of his right
to enter into reciprocal trade
agreements with foreign countries
after June, 1887, while a large list
of nuisance" taxes, including the
levy on gasoline, expires by the
end of next July.
Other Acts Involved
Other acts requiring renewal in
clude the insurance of new mod
ernization loans; financing of cleo
trical equipment sales by the cleo
trio farm and home authority,
and the right of the Federal Re
serve Board to permit issue of
Federal Reserve notes with col
lateral security in the form of OBJ
legations of the United States
Government, instead of CONNER
cial paper arising from business
transactions of quickly self
liquidating character. In addition,
the Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration after February l cannot
undertake any new business tran
sactions.
Although improving business
conditions have stimulated Fed
eral revenues, it is doubtful
whether the Administration will
permit expiration Of the numerous
nuisance" taxes. The levleS, in
addition to the gasoline tax, in
clude excuses on radio sets. re-
frigerators. firearms, automobiles
and automotive parts. A total of
$3O0,00O,0O0 was realized from
these taxes during the last fiscal
year.
