The Important Point.

The important point to be borne in
mind is th.~ thought, expressed in the
words of an official report privately
circulated inside the administration:
Private mountaineering expen-
ditures did not expand this year at a
rate sufficient to offset the decline in
the Federal contribution, so the rate
of recovery slackened."
The answer is simple: Since Gov
ernment spending cannot go on for
ever, private spending must take its
place. Private spending is governed
by human nature, which cannot over
night be bludgeoned into accepting

structive steps can be taken to en-
courage private spending-or private
investment - but these depend on

If one is permitted a pure guess
not judgment-it is that Mr.. Roose-
welt will not take the risk of allowing
the present breakdown of the New
Deal idea of pump printing to give
the Nation a fear complex or a recur-
renee of unemployment, but that he
will do such things with governmental

ment regulation as will give business
a chance to put on a real recovery
movement. To do otherwise is to

suicide, anG Mr. Roosevelt has shown

Goering and Prodigal Son
There Are Two Ways to Interpret Astonishing
Statement in German Paper

having got himself into a jam by
offending his neighbors. sent out an
emissary to his son and said: "Son,
the folks back home need you" Per-
haps the son demurred that after all
he hadn't seen the home folks for a
long time and had new ties, or per-
haps the son said, "All right, dad.
I'll pull up stakex here right away
and help you out"
But the emissary said, "Gott i'm
Himmel. no! We don't want you back
home. There are enough people on
the winter charities already. No, We
want you to stay here and work for
Germany here, just as though you
were on our pay roll, because all Ger
mans are tied together by magnetic
fluid, and that magnetic fluid makes
them all think and act like Nazis."
So the son becomes Nazi agent,
and when his neighbors, who don't
share the magnetic fluid, but happen
to be majority of the population,
reach a certain point of evaporation
and throw him out on his ear, he
returns home to father. And father
does not kill the fatted calf or put
ring on his finger and shoes on his
feet, but pops him into concentration
camp for failure to fulfill his mission.
I suppose everything depends upon
Interpretation. One can stretch any
parable long way.
Once upon a time there was ma
tion that belonged to a family. The
bigger and older members of the FAM
lily had more power, and were pretty
hoggish, and that annoyed and hu-
inflated the younger brother, who was
exceptionally energetic and also
little hoggish, since he belonged to n
somewhat hoggish race-the human.
SO when. after lot of pickering
and quarreling he didn't get what he

And the rebel also became fright

the family. So he began to make
