fore the depression.
To HoOdwink Public
Both Of these arguments are at
tempts to hoodwink the public in
general and employees in particu-
lar.
Today we all know that the
principal cause of depressions is
the unfair distribution of income,
which gives to capital too much
and to labor too little. The very
power to accumulate the huge re-
serves has been shown to be at
the very root Of economic stability.
But there is another way in
which vast reserve funds brought
about the vicious cycle Of declin-
ing distribution and production.
Because big business was SO well
heeled with billions of surplus, it
could sit back and take it easy
when the depression started. 1t
has been shown that the failure to
bring down prices in the heavy in
dustries was one of the chief rea-
sons for the precipitous decline in
production.
Dividends Continue
If big business had not known it
could continue to pay dividends for
years without operating at profit
it would have reduced prices when
the slump first started. That
would have stimulated demand for
its products, and instead of closing
down mills and letting employees
go, it would have kept it's plants
busy.
If business finds that it must pay
one-third of its undivided profits
to the government, it probably will
be less stubborn in resisting la,
boris demands for a larger share
because it would then pay less to
the government.
The tax proposal, if enacted into
law, also might mean that industry
would become a little less reluct-
i. ant to see some of its gains go into

President Other states show leaning toward Lan- don but uninstructed delegations appear to prevail.
 The upshot may be at Cleveland that some vir- tually unknown, possibly easterner, will get the call to carry the banner. The east leaders, some times known the Old Guard, apparently have been looking to the West to put up its strongest man. With Senator Borah, Landon and Colonel Knox, the West can't seem to decide to any definite degree.
 Why will not the East at Cleveland then say, you've had your chance but you can't seem to trot out strong enough contender, we'll offer the can didate?" If that situation prevails it appears not unlikely that eastern man will head the ticket and Landon or some other midwest western man chosen as the Vice Presidential nominee.
