extension of the department,
headed the days program.
But the New Deal" ventures
for agriculture shared a spot on
the days program. H. r. Tolley,
AAA Administrator, and DR..
Will w. Alexander. chief Of the
ReSettlement Administration
which was placed under Secre.
tary Of Agriculture Wallace the
first OF the year, were down for
brief talks.

second nau.
 Consumer goods industries ran above the 1929 levels while the heavy goods industries were below the record levels. In the consumer lines the main difficulty at the half year was the heavy inventories that have been built up. These coupled with high prices that might induce buyer resistance led to belief 8 reaction might be ir order.
 Steel operations made the best showing in the heavy lines. The in- dustry got up to 92 per cent o1 theoretical capacity late in the half and would have broken all records had it not been for shut downs caused by strikes as the half ended. Production of ingots amounted to 28,849,050 tons against 21,276,O97 tons in the first half of 1886, and 29,036,274 in 1929, the record year. The first five months of 1887 broke all records for the industry.
 Electricity output which made a new all-time high in 1886 contin- ued to gain. The first half of 1931 was about 13 per cent over the corresponding period of 1936 and itself 8 record.
 Automobile output was ham, pered from setting record by strikes in practically all the plants save Ford. The output for the first half is estimated at around 2,80O,- GOO cars and trucks, against 2,594,- sos in 1936. It was the best since 1929.
 Retails and wholesale trade con- tinued to move ahead of 1886. The gain in the former ranged from 10 to 20 per cent and in wholesale the rise was IS to 30 per cent Purchasing power was raised by wage increases in many industries The rise was so large that strikes failed to offset it and trade con- tinued to advance. Late in June there was some slowing down in strike centers but gains elsewhere offset these losses.
 Higher farm income is expected to come despite reduced commod- ity prices because of sharp gains in crop output. The latter in turn is expected to have @ highly favor- able effect on railroad earnings The car loadings total so far this wear has been almost 100 per cent in showing gains over the previous year. In the first 24 weeks of the year the car loadings totaled IT,. 39s, 084, a gain of 14.6 per cent over 1886 and 8 gain of PAS pei cent over 1885 for the coresrpond- ing period. Some slowing down came as 8 result of strikes. Building made a poorer showing than other lines and the outlook was less favorable largely because of rising costs.

PINCHES BEATS
 BATES IN RACE

Henley Thames, England, June 3O.-(UP).-J. H. Pinches of Lon don scored an easy victory over R. w. Bates of the United States to- day as the diamond Sculls event of the Royal Henley regatta got under way. Bates shell struck boom at the mile post and although then definitely out of the race. he rowed to the finish line. The Ameri- can was of to a commanding lead at the start.
 In f1rst-round race of the Thames challenge cup, Tabor Acad- emy of Marion, Mass, defeated the Imperial College Boat club crew by two lengths. The Massachusetts shell was timed at 7:45 for the Henley distance of 5-16 miles.
 Tabor gained a three-quarters length lead soon after the start and increased the lead at the mile mark. Both crews were handi- capped by the relatively rough wa ter.

estimated by F. D. Dodge at $510,- 100000 in the 37 states east of the Rockies. That compared with $335, ,000,00 in the corresponding period of last year. s. Seth Schnit- man, economist for Dodge, did not believe that the rate of gain would continue but he estimated that building for the full year would be 20 per cent over the $8O2, 100000 for all of 1936. Non-residential building is expected to end the year at the same figure as 1886, with private commercial construc- tion making up for a decline in public works.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-30

Although final figures for the year will not be available for sev- eral days, 1t was indicated that the deficit approximates 5000, ,O00,- 900 for the 12 months operations. The national debt, meanwhile, cross ed the $36, 200, ,000, 900 mark, approxi- mately $1, 200, ,OO0,0 900 above the peak anticipated by President Roosevelt last January.
 Receipts, on the basis of avail able statistics, have measured up to the $5,224,000, 900 estimate made in last April's revised budget while ex- penditures also appeared to have been held close to the $8,182, ,000, 900 April estimate.
 The tremendous increase in the national debt over the $35, ,026, ,000.- 900 figure named as the top limit in the Presidents January budget resulted principally from two devel- opments- of revenues to ful- i'll expectations and the treasury's gold sterilization" program both of, which necessitated unexpected bor- rowings.

Industry Talks
 Prepared by the
American Business

made in industry came through individual initiative and the desire for personal achievement. All the material riches of the world and all the inventive brains of mankind would have failed to bring the material progress of the past century in America, were it not for the driving spirit of private enterprise. Such progress is possible only in free country where the poorest boy can rise to fame and riches by building an industry to benefit mil lions besides himself.
 This is land of competition. American industry was virtually built by competi- tive effort. When competition is stifled, progress is dead. One of the cardinal principles of our industrial system is pri- vate competition. Better products, higher wages, and lower prices are all fruits of healthy business competition.
 Never before, in all the history of the world, have the benefits of scientific dis covery and invention been given to the public as fast as now. Under the pressure of unhampered competition, every indus try strives to give more and better pro- ducts to it's customers. Through the me- dium of advertising, business keeps the public informed of industry's progress and stimulates wider distribution of it's products.
 Thus are created economic prosperity and wider spread of wealth. Living stand ards and social welfare depend directly upon the success of business and industry in attaining their objectives.
 The American system of private enter prise is responsible for what we have ac- complished in the past, and that past is but threshold to what lies ahead. 1g Federation of America.

E=SlE ALL have our stake in Busi- H2ZYAH ness. There may be hermit, E.NA@N living in cave somewhere, lazZI who gets along without knife, or cooking pot, or matches, or any other products of civilization. But aside from him, there is scarcely anyone in this coun- try whose welfare does not depend directly upon the processes of business. No matter where you get your income, every dollar of it was produced by some form of indus try.
 Economic prosperity exists when busi- ness functions smoothly and efficiently. Through all it's ups and downs of the past 15O years, the American industrial sys- tenn has achieved marvellous results. Each generation sees greater progress than the last The living conditions of American workers are now far higher than any where else in the world, and are ascending more rapidly than ever before. In many ways, the average farmer or factory work CT is better off today than were the aris- tocrats of only a century ago. His wages will buy twice the comforts his parents en- joyed, and his working hours are shorter.
 Yet, if visitor from Mars had listened to some of our recent political debates, he might have concluded that our economic system has failed, and that business as now conducted is an obstacle to social pro- gress. That is the tenor of many argu- ments we hear nowadays. It is time that the people give careful thought to these matters and critically examine every pro- posal that would restrain business initia- tive and possibly cripple the forces of in- dustrial progress.
