NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
iva JUMPS THE GUN

Figures sent to me indicate that the Tennessee
River could have been improved for navigation for
S74,O0O,0O0 while completed iva will cost $780,,
1000; that the difference in the cost of the pow
er project. and that it is great to be automatic
proof that the primary purpose is not navigation.
This is true bill. The Supreme Court in APP
proving the legality of federal distribution of pow
er from Muscle Shoals said it did because the
wartime installation there had been unqueston-
ably for national defense-a proper public pur-
pose 1t held that when incidentally such an in
stalation produces power, the government has
right to transmit it and sell it. But it so pointedly
restricted the holding to the circumstances of that
particular case to leave wide open the question
of whether, when navigation and defense
plainly secondary in the Norris Dam the gov
eminent can go into the power and light business.
That raises real question Are IVA, Bonnie
vile, Grand Couee and Passamaquody merely for
the welfare of particular people and particular To-
calites, do they promote the general welfare?'
Under Mr. Justice Roberts rule nobody can
finally answer that in any particular but the
Supreme Court itself If the learned Justice is
right, his "libera" opinion the general welfare
clause has more than ever constituted the Court
super-congresS.
That IVA is well aware of this new and revo-
lutionary legal situation is quite apparent in the
haste with which it pushing its construction work
to completion.
decision of the Court that a blueprint Of a
proposed local installation does not promote the
general welfare would be whole lot easier to
make than decree that an actual accomplished
an Operating hydro-electric installation costing
hundreds of millions and controlling entire river
system is unconstitutional null and void, and there
fore must be abandoned.
Of course, no court would do that. That is UNI
doubtedy one reason why iva is being rushed to
completion with such furious energy For if a
court has to hold that IVA is constitutional, can
it ever hold any similar installation invalid?-Gen.

WHAT MAKES A BUYERS STRIKE?

We have always had the same sort of reverence
for the law of supply and demand that we have
had for the law of gravta*ion.
Both are entitled to serious respect.
Fool around with them in violative sort of
levity, and they will blow up in your face and
crush any puny effort that might be made to Guido
or to disregard them.
But times do occasionally come when the law of
supply and demand applied to economic matters
does seem to need treatment.
Or after ALL is it the law itself or the human
prosttutions of that law that demand considera-
ton?
At any rate, what is in mind is the very simple
proposition that unless something is done, either
organcally within the range of this economic prln-
ciple or outside and independent of it, to stop
prices rising faster than the ability of the consum-
ers to meet the costs, disaster is ahead
Historically, those who are at all acquainted with
the matter know full well that If prices eventually
get beyond the capacity of the consumers to meet
the latter put on what is technically known as a
buyers strike.
The consumers merely stay out of the markets.
They quit buying and then the producing element
has no alternative other than either to quit pro-
ducing or keep on producing and piling up the
goods in warehouses to await better climate.
That is what happened in 1929, one of the things
that happened at any rate.
Prices got unruly, became insanely high-so high
that the earning capacity of the public was unable
to reach the fodder ir the rack and this same pub
lie merely folded up the sellers.
1t couldn't pay the price. 1t ceased buying. 1t
didn't want to quit buying, but there was no OPP
ton.
It HAD TO QUIT when it had no money with
which to buy at the price being charged.
Are we headed toward similar disaster today?

NEVER SATISFIED

The fat dividends Of many corporations at the
close of 1886 furnished wings to the argument
that "the big industries are making too much and
the workers too little"
No one seemed to remember the figures OF very
recent years when national industries were in the
"red" with dividends omitted. The years were for
gotten when old men and women, widows and
whole families had no pay checks; years when saw
ings disappeared in bank crashes; years when boys
hiteh-hiked to cities seeking employment and turn
ed to the desperate game of pan-handhng. So if
industry did begin to stage comeback year ago,
why should anyone kick about it? How long did
we have to struggle to catch up with prosperity"
True, profits have been rsing---true also there
have been unusual wage increases-true steady
employment has increased. Wasn't that what we
were crying for during those dreary, lean years.

VIA SerNtCc sum SVthNsP""N"N
WASHINGTON. "A tentative
y" version Of the administrations
long awaited wage and hour bill
has been drafted, but the measure
is not yet in final form.
This far-reaching legislative
proposal will be the subject of
the Presidents next message to
Congress, in all probability.
The bill, as previously forecast
In these dispatches, will provide
for general administration by a
board, for the establishment of
wage and hour standards in in
dividual industries considered to
be operating in interstate COM
merce. Probably it will contain
provisions for regulating child
labor.
Various vexing problems remain
to be settled. One is the question
whether new agency or an exist
ing agency should administer the
law, which means an under-sur-
face struggle between Secretary
of Labor Perkins and the National
Labor Relations Board. Another
problem is presented by proposals
for North-South wage differentials
and this problem may or may not
be sidestepped by trainers Of the
bill. There is also some dispute
within the administration as to
constitutional and other legal
angles.
GEORGE L. BERRY, the mil
~ lionaire labor leader just APP
pointed senator from Tennessee to
fill vacancy, has had an unusual
record for getting his name into
the public prints.
Most Tennesseans claim to be
sure that Berry had an agreement
with Governor Gordon Browning,
who appointed him, whereby
Browning could run for the seat
in 1888 while Berry retired. They
