THE rHIRrY-HoUR WEEK FANTASY


We ploughed under the corn. we laid
waste third of the cotton. we slaughtered
pigs and sows heavy with young; and
still we did not grow in wealth-and small
wonder. We see through the proverbial
hole in the milestone at last and perceive
that Holland, who finding herself with an
excess of pork, put it into cold storage UNI
til it could profitably be exchanged for
wheat, had much sounder idea.
1T will he many a day before we will
again burn p or otherwise destroy food
and clothing That much, we have surely
leerhed by experience. We destroyed
,weaitFosnd We now know it.
But we seem bit slow in applying
our knowledge. Between wealth, and that
labor which is the source of all wealth,
the difference is the difference between
Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee.
The proposition to burn house down,
and the proposition to decline to build
house, add up to about the same thing.
There isn't any house. 1t is substituting
the refusal to create wealth, for the de-
struction of wealth. And wealth is our in
dividual and collective objective.
The one thing that lends plausibility
to the 30-hour week is the fear on the part
of the worker that if he works more hours,
he will not be rewarded in the same pro-
portion that he will if he works fewer
hours; and we have to admit that this fear
is not without foundation. Once assured
of the same rate of reward that would be
accorded a piece-worker, the average
worker will readily grasp the opportunity
to provide himself with more of the things
which his soul desires; and in that pro-
viding will create market for the product
of other workmen and labor will not lack
for employment.
What man, building boat or house
for himself, would remain idle longer than
he found it necessary?
If reducing our working time to 80
hours per week is good economics, then it
is logical to proceed still farther and cut
the time to Is hours, or 10, or s. In which
case we should presently find ourselves
nakea and hungrX.vgssys.4 !. s.sl :. b
We all want more things, boats, cars,
books, clothing, food, and all the things
which go to make a prosperous people,
awaiting themselves of all the comforts and
conveniences which the advance of knowl-
edge has created. And, the only way to
have these things in abundance is to make
them. With sufficient industry, we can all
live in aforementioned houses, supplied
with all the modern conveniences, and the
diseases incident to a sub-standard of liv-
ing will disappear along with other relics
of the dark ages when inadequate tools
and knowledge doomed the masses to de-
grading poverty.
We know how to produce, plentifully,
in 1.-THE of the time that it took our an
cestors to make bare living.
We have not learned how to properly
distribute the results of labor. That is the
problem before us, not over-production,
and we can not remedy our inadequate
,, knowledge of the, solution of this problem
by resorting to Che suicidal process of
either destrQyingsthe products of labor, or
limiting the labor itself

Senator Byrd denounces the
Resettlement Administra t i n
projects as Sinful and absurd
waste" approaching a national
scandal"
A more charitable view to take
would be to regard this waste
as a mere trifle to pay for learn
ing the folly Of a planned econ
omy.
Suppose we had 1000 Tug
welltoWnS. The cost to date
would be $4,000 million dollars.
That would be national planning
in earnest, as contemplated by
its prophets.
A complete planned economy
would, of course, dispose Of the
entire national income in the
same manner in which the
projects in the Resettlement Ad-
miniStration were handled.
The administrative costs Of
the Hightstown project, for in
stance, amounted to nearly 40
per cent of the total Govern
ment expenditures.
Such is the price Of bureaucra-
cy under a planned economy.
Some years ago, when Prof.
Tugwell was only surveying this
land as a fit object for his
planning, certain critics arose
to point out the terrific waste
and dangers inherent in q bu-
reaucracy in control Of a
planned economy.
At that time Prof. Tugwell
wrote an article in which he
dismissed the critics as alarm
lists and the criticism as a DOGGY
created by those COMPOUNDED
capitaliStic apologiStS.
That academic discussion Of
four years ago has now been
translated into the reality of
cold figures. Forty per cent of
the peoples money for bureau
cratic overhead!
Compare this with the great
foundations endowed by private
philanthropistS, engaged in re-
lief and reconstruction activi-
ties.
Their overhead for admins
5trative purposes rarely exceeds
10 per cent.
Tugwelltown may be a ma
tional scandal. But we should
be glad to have had the expert
ence.
It is an object lesson in the
cost Of bureaucracy.
It has given us an acid test
in planned economy.
The more we study the costs
of the ReSettlement Administers
ton projects, the clearer it ap'
pears that planned economy is
neither planned nor is it econ
omy.
It can be put over only where
the planners are in perpetual
power, where the objects OF the
planning are in perpetual slavery,
and where the national economy

Jem Mace made nearly ST.

made some canny investments,

another, and he was all but

alert and vigorous and still pas
Sionately devoted to his music.
Jimmy Britt, middleweight
champion of the early nine
teen hundreds, went quite high
hat, after his ring career, even
taking to a monocle at one
time. His friends ribbed him a
lot, and he was saved by his
own keen wit from becoming
ridiculous. In his native San
Francisco, he settled down in
the backroom of Eddie Graney'S
poolroom, with such wits Of the
town as Tom O'Connor, Sam
Berger and the famous Miner
brothers. believe the late Tad
Dorgan, brilliant cartoonist and
satiriSt for the Hearst news
papers, was there impelled into
the career which made him the
Daumier of American news
paper artists.
Dorgan and Britt were great
friends. If space allowed, we
could salvage from tales Of this

The Virginia Senator went to
the General Accounting Office
of the United States Govern
ment for that balance sheet.
No dictatorship would be
guilty of furnishing such State
secrets to a representative of the
people.
It will be recalled that the Re
settlement Administration. I'M
der Rexford Tugwell, was the
outpost of our national plan
ming front.
It was to serve as the spear
head Of a grand movement to
rebuild the economy Of the
country.
Senator Byrd has unearthed
some vital statistics which tell
the tale of planning in the
simplest prose.
There is the case Of 'Tugwell-
town." the project near Wash
ington designed to provide $50
homes for low-income Govern
ment employees.
It cost to date a paltry IA mil.
lion dollars, or in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 per unit.
Another outstanding project
is the garment workers center
at HlghtStown, New Jersey, de-
signed for 200 families.
It includes a factory and .
concrete slab plant. After de-
Quoting the costs Of the latter
two items, the Government ex.
penditure per home amounts to
$4,000.
The third planned homestead
community cited by Senator
Byrd is in his own State. in New
port News. It was built for Negro
workers, at an average cost OF
1898 per family.
'WhO will pay rentals based
on such excessive costs as these
when the actual value Of the
properties is no more than a
third of the cOSt?" asks Senator
Byrd.
The ideal planned economy
