Roosevelt And The Economic RoyaliStS'
 Clash In Battle To Control Business
Industry Wants No ! Castor Oil; It Feels Fine

world--the only country where any one seriously suggests "letting ra- ture take its course" in the indus trial-economic field. The New Deal holds that monopoly here has killed "the free play of economic forces"
 Mellon vs. Roosevelt
 Further New Deal theory: There must be no more fantastic specula- tive boons, piling up and pyramid ing debt. Increase of purchasing power among unemployed, wage earners and farmers, plus other New Deal policies has produced re- covery--so let's have more of the same. ft- In the years 1921-2o labor in- come increased 8 8per cent, produc- ton 37 per cent and profit 87 per cent, throwing the system out of whack. Profits must contract to make the system work and proper use of the taxing power will keep the system in balance, as in Eng land. c.
 Excess profits must not be in- vested in new plant capacity to pro- duce for a nonresident market. Siphon 1t off the top and pour back in at the bottom. Prices must not get ahead of purchasing power. Elm phasis should be laid on the high annual wage."
 Roosevelt's assaults on the "pow- CT trust" his IVA and other proj- ects, PWA power loans, the holding company act and his successful campaign for rate cuts probably have stirred up as much economic royalist" attack as anything.
 But business men also remember the securities and stock market acts, the corporation surplus tax, grad uated corporation tax, inter-corpo- rate dividend tax, increased estate taxes and higher surtaxes.

LINES WRITTEN AT SEA
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Dear Folks: it certainly is fine at sea, From morning boullon to afternoon tea Life boat Is just the tops, You just keep going without any stops There's a funny dame in the deck chair next 10 me, Not a blessed thing this ship she doesn't sec; About everybody that passes she's got line, You should hear her order, even down to wine As for celebrities, Charlie Chaplins on board, Last night the smoking room saw an English lord It's quite a thrill to hear the foghorn at night stewards and officers wasn't that fright? Honest folks, day at sea can't be too long, With shuffeboard, horse movies and ping pong. It's great to feel the sway the swell the dip, Fine to walk the deck when the boat doesn't tip. great life all right if you like to dine and dance, Toode-oo now-tomorrow we land in France

 Leaders of 42 company unions in the Steel industry bave joined John L Lewis Committee for Industria Organization now engaged in campaign to unionlz5 Steel.
 There have been signs for months that the care- fully nurtrred company unions of Steel were showing distressing signs of independence, nclnatons to DC unions rather than dummy organizations
 Even back in 1885 as Fortune points out com pany unions were breaking away from domination oi the Steel barons Last spring company union leaders astonshed Steel magnates with demand that they be permitted to up central bargaining agency foI all company unions. Here was rank heresy Nay more mutiny. The next shock came when the com pany unions demanded higher wages and shorter hours a demand rejected last summer.
 Yet all the while, the American Iron and Steel Institute denounced the c. l. o. drive to organize Steel workers, declaring that the corporation stood ready to protect it's employees in maintaining collec- tive bargaining free from interference from any source"
 The Institute further pointed out that employees were delighted with their company unions and cited figures to show that under the employe representa- ton plan" 73 per of arising resulted m concessions to employees only 16 per cent of the cases being decided in favor of the magnates with per cent compromised per cent withdrawn)
 Better still pointed out the Institute was the fact that hourly wage rates in Steel were to per cent higher than 1929 that workers were better off than before
 But now with company unions going over whole sale to the C. O., it becomes painfully obvious that the Kings of Steel are much satisfied with the "bessngs7 of the employe representation plan than the employees have been.
 All of which indicates one of two things: That Steel workers are lamentably ungrateful for those alleged blessings" that the blessings were not all the American Iron and Steel Institute cracked them up to be-
 You can easily make your own guess as to which is which.

Heat on Another Throne
CNew York World-Telegram)


 Another European government, says cable dis patch is about to put the heat monarch because a love affair In this the affair is not with woman now living but with the memory of a wife who is dead.
 It seems that the dispute has arisen between King Leopold of the Begians and his Ministers over the latters nsstence that the King remarry. The government said desire that the match be between the King and the Archduchess Adelaide sister of Arch duke Otto claimant to the Hapsburg throne-it being contended that an alliance with the Hapsburgs would bring Belgium closer to central Europe
 But King Leopold is reported to be against the idea because of his affection for his late wife Queen Astrid who was killed an an automobile accident a little more than year ago
 Perhaps the circumstances of that tragedy may serve make this Kngly love for who is lost more poignant They were on holiday together, rid ing along the shores of lovely Lake Lucerne He was driving. When the gendarmes reached the scene the King but slightly hurt was kneeing beside his dying Queen. calling her name kissing her blood-stained face.
 Unwillingness to marry because of such memory classed exactly treason by the Stanley Bald wins of Belgium but merely as unpatriotic sentiment tality. Anyway We suppose it will be only matter of time and maneuvering before the world is treated to another abdication.
 And doubt the event will be roundy blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the departing monarch speeded by a verbal kick from the prelate.
 It becomes clearer and clearer that love of what shall not be permitted to stand in the way of government, state or church.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The Agriculture Department said today a world prune crop "A per cent
 less than the record crop of 1885, but 5 per cent larger than the 1929-34 average was in prospect for this year.
 The Bureau of Agriculture Econ omics said the chief reason for the reduction was frost damage to the domestic crop, which now is esti- mated at only 182,000 tons, com
 pared with 298,0O0 tons last year and the 1929-l934 average of 213,- 900 tons.
 Present indications are for a
 1886 world crop of 252,000 short tons, compared with 330,000 tons in 1885 and the 1929-34 average of 240,000 tons The United States, Yugoslavia, France, Bulgaria, and Rumania are the important pro ducing countries.

 Peter Norbeck was boaster. but he did feel proud of being the only well digger in the Senate That occupation made the Norwegian minister's almost scriptural character. artesian wells more difficult and scientific than those known to Isaac and his servants As a boy of 12 he was interested in aresian well machinery than contem- porary children in arpanes. At 25 in time of drought he started capital of s13O borrowed from his father. The first well good job and doing business at the old spout twenty-five years after.
 The farmers were poor They thirsted for wells The young diggers content to take a harness, wagon pair of horses in part payment Their prices were cheap They paid for the easing out of their own pocket If one of their wells failed they would dig another at their expense. No wonder that in time they dug thousands of wells in South Dakota and plenty in half dozen other States. Peter Norbeck would have been Q remarkable man if he had remained only member of a firm of deep artesian well contractors.
 As member of the State Senate when progressive less popular than afterward he forced bills of that sort through the Legislature. He knew the troubles of the farmers. He alfalfa farmer himself. He called himself a Theodore Roosevelt Progressive but his progressiveness temporary and skin-deep. In his two terms as Governor he is said to have urged and put through the Legislature more reform legislation than any other Governor f that period.

SPINNING RELIGIOUS TRAINING

There is something little repugnant in the publicity which from time to time from the famed Angelus Temple in Los Angeles where that widely y-publicized evangelist Aimee Semple McPher- son holds fort Probably the most laudable angle in the whole matter, incidentally, is the way the re- markabe woman holds the fort against all corners and in the face of columns of adverse publicity.
 The latest squabble out of the Angeus fortress is the islander suit for a million dollars that Mrs. McPhersons former lieutenant, Mrs Rheba Crawford, has instituted against her. The usual charges and counter charges have been hurled with the up shot that Aimee is still directing the Four-Sqlare Gopc group while Mrs Crawford bursts forth with her Tn terdenomina tlonal Church The assumption is that the fight for control of tie big membership which Angelus Temple boasts.
