prospect of real and continued pros

pie to turn from President Roosevelt
and put into office an unknown and
comparatively inexperienced man"

slider before going on with this anti
Roosevelt campaign! he declared.
ut would be worth while to take
inventory and compare conditions as
they were at the time Mr.. Hoover
left office with times as they are to-
day. Can there be any better argu-
ment for the reelection of Mr.. Roo
sevelt?
"I know business is complaining
against higher taxes &. +. Let us ana

ecovery costs money.
"When Mr.. Roosevelt took office
the country was in collapse. He had
to do things and in a hurry. He had
to build up the morale of the people
and dissipate fear.
Certainly the debt of the nation
has increased. Let's say that eleven
billion dollars has been spent in re-
storing confidence and lettering con-
ditions. Of this, five billion dollars
will come back from the RFC and
Home Owners Loan Corporation.
Two billion dollars will be paid back
out of the sterilization fund.
"That leaves the total cost of I'M
employment relief and depression
around four billion dollars.
"What does a six or seven billion
dollar increase in indebtedness mean
in the light of the fact that the ma
TONS national income has been raised
from thirty eight billion to sixty-five
billion dollars? How can anyone say
it is excessive? We gave way much
more than that to European countries
after the war. Mr.. Hoover increased
the debt by six billion dollars anG
what did he do with the money?

fifteen million people out of work
Now l get reports from some of our
localities that it is difficult to fino
workers to fill jobs. It makes me
ask: what is behind this attack or
the Roosevelt Administration? Bill
lions have been spent by the admin
istration with less scandal than has
marked the administration of many
of our small communities.
"I am confident that as things get
better-the phrase if things get bet.
ter is really no longer necessary
President Roosevelt will tighten w
en- expenditures. The lowering OF
the cost of government and the nat
ural increase in revenues resulting
from better conditions will soon
bring back the times when our ma
tional budget was in balance and
when we were able TO cut down the
outstanding debt.
"Give Mr.. Roosevelt four more
years and he'll leave the office
with a record that viii stamp him
as the greatest man of our time"

A Curious Parable

TT seems to me story most aptly chosen for any
graduating class of school college, and yet it is
a most curious parable to come from the lips of
standpat Republican whose every declaration eco
nomc issues to reflect desire to sit back and
let Nature and the Chamber of Commerce steer the
course.
Caleb clearly radical. He urged his COM
rades to tackle the problems presented in new
world and to with them even though it meant
struggle against the giants.
Nevertheless, conservative counsel prevailed. The
pilgrims became lost people for 40 years because
they lacked the imagination to deal with setup
which was new to them. They lacked vision to see
that new era was possible to them if only they
could agree to abandon their ancient shibbolethS.
can not see that Alfred Mossman Landon gave
much comfort to any Caleb who may have been in
his audience at the graduating exercises in Attica
Instead he warned them not to be sWayed by the
apostles of change. He mentioned past depressions
almost with pride he said After every depres-
sion the American people have created higher levels
of prosperity and progress. Think of the undreamed
new things that have since the last depression.
We have by means reached the end of that
process"
That doesn't sound to me in the least like Caleb,
who wanted to go up into the mountains and tackle
the giants. On the contrary, A M. Landon distinctly
promised bigger and better depressions.

even that we have reached the
point of diminishing returns" Mr..
Merrick told me. 1.-THE worlds
most eminent scientists agree that
there is more to be learned than
we now know.
1--WE have every right to feel
that in electrical achievement we
have only opened door beyond
which we can see a steady adj
vance in the creation of electrical
power.
GAS time goes on l am certain
that we will find better ways to
generate electricity, more efficient
ways of distributing it, and broad
er applications for it's use"
Electrical consumption in the
United States passed the two-bil-
lion mark for the first time in
history when consumption for the
week ending Dec. 81, 1885, reached
the figure of 1000, 005,0O kilowatt-
hours. AS a result, Westinghouse
engineers have predicted a short
age of electric power within a an
other year.
Eventually, they expect produc-
ton of electricity to reach 49,
0O0,000,00O kilowatt- hours a week.
President Merrick sees guide

of the past. AS it, developed
new products, the company grew
and the standard of living in the
nation improved by reason of
these products.

and improvements in processes
and products, the price of COM

rick said. THE aim of our. COM
pany, of every intelligent COM
pany, is to produce more and
better products at a lower cost.
In this lies the chief hope for the
future.

Because of tn M, the
great steel towers, like
giants on parade, stretch
across the countryside, car
rying on their shoulders
the copper cables that
bring alternating current
to cities and villages and
farms.
With the development of alter
mating current came the possibili-
ties of life as we know it in the
twentieth century. Alternating
currents made possible our electric
lights, electric street cars. electric
locomotives, the elevators of our
SkyScrapers, the electric machin-
cry of our shop and mill.
And now, President Merrick
looks forward to new triumphs
and new marvels. AS we talked
in his Office on the top floor of
the main building of the Westing-
house plant in East Pittsburgh,
glanced out the window. I looked
down upon a sea of roofs, the

them and from the engineers en-
gagged in designing apparatus and

rick expects future progress to
come.

Mr.. Merrick emphasizes the fact
that material things are not the
goal of our civilization, but he
points out that progress is made
possible only when there is ade-
quate time for thought.
Compare this country with
China he says There is no
mechanization in China and as a
result every one is SO busy think
ing about his next meal that there
is no time left to think about any,
thing else.
Here in America, because of the
advances of the machine age,
there is time to think Of the gen.
eral good"
Mr. Merrick says that it is a
fact that progress in the social
sciences has Jagged behind the adj
vances in physical science but he
thinks that this is due largely to
the more complex problems to be
met in the social sciences. He
thinks, however, that the social
sciences are beginning to catch up.
TN the field of living, old-fash-
Toned advice is still the best in
many ways" he continues. There
is no substitute for character.
Wisdom, honesty and courage are
the elements of character. We
must strive for these"
Mr.. Merrick points out that the
Westinghouse company has long
given thought to it's relations with
it's employees.

but mass concentration of indi-
vidual achievement requires the

4 A VAST number of men would
i have a much harder time be-
cause they would have to support
their women in idleness. While
there is still a lot of work and
drudgery to be done in the home
there is very little that creates any
form of wealth. as did the old home
activities of women when they wove
and preserved foods and knitted
and made all the family clothes.
The employment of women outside
the home is a huge, complex prob
lem and there is no one simple
answer to it-certainly shooting
them all back indoors is not GO

co-ordinated efforts of many" he
says. Harmonious relations be-
tween those responsible for for
mulating plans and those respon-
sible for executing them form the
intangible elements of organiza-
ton. The technical progress of
Westinghouse during it's so years
is the result-not the cauSe-of

fabric of organization prior to

.ucts."
The Saturday half-holiday was
first introduced in this country by
George Westinghouse on June /,
1884, Early in its,n history the
Westinghouse company introduced
programs of training and educa-
tional cooperation.
Approximately 5000 boys have
learned trade in the Westing-
house shops. High school grad
yates have been prepared for cler-
ical, sales and semi-technical po-
SitionS.
The Westinghouse technical
night school has had more than
$4,000 students enrolled in it's
courses in engineering and allied
subjects since it's founding in
1902. More than 5000 graduates
of engineering schools have OBJ
tanned their first practical expe-
rience in the shops of the West
-inghouse plants. In 1885 the
company organized the Westing-
house order of merit to recognize
conspicuous accomplishment in it's
ranks.
Today, with it's products in use
in every corner of the globe, the
company faces the next so years
with courage and confidence.

fields of expansion, Mr. Merrick

also for the arrival of television
