The Pessimistic VieW Is Another
Depression En- Route Some Think
1t Can Be Stopped

WASHINGTON.-As previously noted in this
column there is school of thought in tins
administration which holds that nothing OF
consequence can be done to forestall the next
national economic collapse that many economists
foresee as the ultimate result of rapidly rising
price level.
Others are convinced that if the govern
ment moved forward vigorously with DEFINITE
industrial program, it could break up the faml-
liar cycle of soaring prices and soaring profits,
and relatively lower purchasing power. IhlS
results in decreased consumer demand ana, IL
nally more unemployment and depression.
The second group is not very confident OF
adequate action. With bankers, induStrialists,
labor leaders and farmers all on the bandWagon
for higher prices, bigger profits and hgner
wages, the group doubts whether the admins
tration will try to apply the drastic brakes con-
sidered necessary.
One preventive program is presented here
with in rough outline, not because the econo-
miStS who suggest it are necessarily correct In
their plan, but because it is the only compre-
hensive plan of the sort so far suggested here
by anyone.
Leon Henderson, who was chief of research
and planning in the NRA and who later directed
economic council study, is more closely identi-
fled with the preventive program than any
one eSe However, the plan has been wide
ly discussed privately here, and is favored in
part or whole by those most concerned with
preserving consumer purchasing power
These the chief steps proposed
l. Federal action to break up monopostlc
devices, Sucn as Une DdSlIlS polnl SySleil III IiC
steel industry.
q Pressure through ALLEGATION of government
purchases. That this is weapon of some power
has been indicated in the history of the Walsh
Healy bill requiring maintenance OF certain
labor standards by recipients of government con-
tracts. Government insistence on enforcement
helped bring about the 40-hour week and higher
wages in the steel industry.
3. Seective taxation on profits SO devised as
to hit at corporations making excessive" profits
through boosted prices.
T. Patent law revision in an effort to curb
prices sustained through patent monopolies.
s. Antitrust law prosecutions and efforts to
break up the practice of collusive bidding.
g. Abstention from the world armament race,
which, by adding to the demand for certain
raw and sem-finished materials leads to price
exploitation.
7. Encouragement of consumer co-operatives
as still another curb on prices, and means OF
preserving mass purchasing power
g. Reduction Of tariff barriers in order to
allow certain foreign products to compete with
high priced commodities in this country
g. Government yardsticks, such as are being
attempted by fedora. water power projects, and
such as was suggested in the threat of the
government to make its own steel for the navy
in order to break down defiance of the Walsh
Healy act.

WHERE HIGHWAY SAFETY
SHOULD BEGIN

Captain A. F. Oswalt and the Califor-
MIA Highway Patrol are to be commend
ed for their efforts to instill safety prac-
tices into the habits of Imperial Valley
youngsters through weekly classes con-
Quoted in the schools. Accident preven-
ton, experts are realizing more and
more, is matter of education rather
than of punishment-and education be-
gins at an early age.
There will never be an absence of high
way wrecks until every man and woman
behind the wheel of an automobile realiz-
es fully the stark danger that lies just
ahead. When that realization is brought
home. when every driver pilots his ma
chine carefully and with an eye open
at all times against accident hazards.
then and then only will the tragic toll
of highway accidents be considerably
lessened. There is no better time to
teach the dangers of driving than in
youth.
Youth, actually, is not more impetuous
than age. 1t is only more careless of con-
sequences-and that because youth does
not realize what the consequences may
be. 1t is a lack of experience and knowl-
behind the wheels of their automobiles.
1t is not fearlessness that makes a driv-
er go around turn at 60 miles an hour.
1t is only utter ignorance and basest
fooishness.
A normally intelligent adult, when
drunk, becomes reckless behind the
wheel of car. This is because alcohol
dulls the brain. 1t offsets the knowledge
gained by experience. Similar reckless
ness, when the driver has not been drink
ing, may naturally be looked upon as
the result of mental deficiency of some
sort.
Education, in many instances, can
overcome sush deficiency If that
education is begun at an early age, as
it is being begun in the Ell Centre high
school, there is far more likelihood that
death will not be a necessary adjunct
of driving in the coming years.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-03-26

Unless a number of Washington
correspondents are mistaken, Mr..
Roosevelt is already cropping about
in the depts of the official hat for
the long ears of another rabbit.
This rabbit, when he pulls it uot,
is expected to take the shape OF
a spectacular summons to the great
nations of the earth to attend a
great peace and disarmament con-
ference. A London paper thinks
the call will be issued within 30
days: a New York correspondent
says that, while official Washington
denies all rumors, it more than
half expects to be surprised.
The president has been under a
good deal of pressure to "do some
thing" ever since the current war
scare came over the horizon. He
has not moved so far, it is said,
because no one has been able to
suggest anything which might be
of any particular use; but the ru-
mors that he already has his fin
gers about the rabbits ears will
not dawn.
We have a tradition in this
country that no American states
man ever goes to a weighty Euro
pean conference without coming
back wearing a barrel in place Of
his pants. Woodrow Wilson'S sad
experience at Versailles has not yet
been orgotten-and no politician is
apt to forget what the American
electorate did to Mr. Wilson after
he came back from Versailles.
An American president who sets
out to lead Europe to the way of
peace faces one grave danger; he
has to succeed, once he starts.
To begin with, peace and dis
armament conference which fails is
worse than no conference at all. 1t

GOING A LITTLE
TOO FAR

The California legislatures commit
tee designated to handle such matters
has passed out with "do pass" recon-
mendation bill which would put teeth
into law preventing employers from
advertising for additional laborers dur
ing a strike.
Someone once said that laws are made
to protect the weak. If that is so, and
if the present trend continues, some
drastic laws should be adopted very
soon now to protect employers. So far,
the governmental attitude, as represent
ed in its various legislative bodies, seems
to have been one supporting labor, even
when labor breaks the law.
Adoption of the proposed state mea-
sure would make it illegal for an en-
ployer to advertise for workmen when
his crew went on strike, even if he were
paying wages double the usual standard
and offering working conditions beyond
criticism. The deciding factor would
be merely the spell binding oratory of
some golden tongued labor agitator,
seeking, perhaps, the power to bar bar
gain for every employe.
1t is a fine thing to protect the inter-
ests of working men by legislation. They
went too long unprotected. There
should be safeguards against unscrupu
lous employers who would exploit even
children.
But, somehow or other, it seems that
there should be a stopping place be-
fore the thing goes so far there are no
EMPLOYERS left.

U.S.. May Try to Halt Europes Death Dance

leaves the world sadder than it was
in the first place. 1t increases the
animosities and suspicious it was
designed to quell. 1t reduces the
worlds hopes. and increases that
public resignation to war which is
the best guarantee that war will
eventually come.
On top of that, the American A1
summons such conference breA AY
his country's tradition of aloofness.
If the conference fails, America is
in European politics up to its
neck. BY taking the lead in an
effort to head off a war, it assumes
a certain amount of responsibility
for the war when it finally comes.
All of these things can be counted
on to restrain the presidents hand.
And yet, when they are all added
up and studied, they may not be
enough to prevent him from pulling
out that rabbit. after all.
For Europe today is all too clear
ly Whirling around in a dance of
death. 1t is no mere figure Of
speech to say that European civili-
cation is on the verge of commit
ting suicide; it is sober, demonst-
rable fact. If there is anything
on earth America can do to stpa
the dance and stay the suio ! n
America can hardly avoid dong
1t.
And so, in spite of tradition and
precedent. we may yet see an Ameri-
can president drawing cards in the
perilous, unpredictable European
game of poker.
