City Finances
(Santa Monica Outlook

(Santa Monica Outlook
A group of municipal research
directors have recently conducted a
nom bipartisan study of the relief
situation from the standpoint of
American city finances.
Taking IL representative cities in
various parts of the country for
their survey, the fact was revealed
that in each of these cases the
cost of welfare work amounted to
at least two-thirds of the total tax
collections. In some of them the
welfare expenditures exceeded the
total city revenue
The gravity of the situation which
these unbiased and sincere students
OF the subject present is one that
calls for early action by municipal
officials and in many cases by the
officials of American counties where
relief conditions are equally onerous.
The choice would seem to be be-
tween public bankruptcy on the
one hand or radical modification
of relief methods on the other.
Neither remedy can be contemplat-
ed with equanimity. Eventually one
or the other will face the people
of many of our great cities and of
many counties.

YOU CANNOT REVOLUTIONIzE
THE NATION OVERNIGHT

The recession is the price of New
Deal policies.
Right here we must differentiate be-
tween New Deal policies and New Deal
objectives Nobody argues against high
er wages, lower prices, better conditions
for more peOple-the more abundant
life" We should all like to see these
things accomplished. These are the New
Deal objectives.
The New Deal policies are the means
taken in an effort to accomplish the
objectives They include class preju-
dice, business persecution and alright
governmental control of business. In
other countries such control would be
called national socialism" Here We
call it the New Deal
If this country were to accomplish
national socialiSm-and one look at Ger
many causes the prayer that it will not
it would have to be adopted all at
once, as it was in Germany, or accom-
plished over long period of years. Gov
ernment cannot take absolute control
of business in a four or eight-year period
and avoid recession, or even depression,
in economic life.
The New Deal has tried to bring about
higher wages and lower prices by tam
pering with the economic machinery of
lUt NdSl COulilIN. II Ids IOISOlISll IIldl
our economic system is so complicated,
so interviewer and dependent, that
you cannot raise wages in the northwest
ern corner without forcing John Jones
down in the southwestern corner to pay
more for what he buys. A stone tossed
into an iron puddler's motion metal in
Pittsburgh ripples through the entire
economic structure of the country down
to the price a store keeper in San Diego
charges for cotton gloves.
The New Deal believes that business
itself could set up buffer against these
overwhelming shocks, and perhaps it
could At least two other New Deal poll
cies effectively prevent it from doing
so. Laws have been set up to encourage
irresponsible, racketeering unionism. A
doctrine of scarcity has imposed upon
business the untenable position of at

tering the natural law of supply and
demand

DON'T BLAME BUSINESS
FOR STRIKING

A trend toward friendliness between
employer and employe was literally
wrecked. Industrial strikes spread like
wildfire and industry lost millions of
dollars worth of production.
It is no wonder business men through
out the nation could not help the New
Deal achieve its worthwhile objectives.
Seeing its forceful methods fail, the
New Deal shouted that the recession
is not a reaction in the patient, but a
fever artificially stimulated by Wall
Street. The idea took root SO poorly that
not much more has been heard of it. 1t
is hardly tenable. Yet, suppose it were.
Suppose Big Business had started a sit
down strike of its own. Why not?
1t is the American idea that what is
fair for one is fair for another. If the
New Deal is to encourage unionism
among laborers, why should it object to
unionism among employers "a union
ism by which the employers seek to pro-
tect themselves from force far greater
than one or two business men could
muster?
A business man is not justified in pro-
fiteering on sweat-shOp labor. He is,
however, justified in protecting himself
from total ruin.
And everybody, business man and la
borer, is justified in attempting to main
tain New Deal objectives, but without
the curse of those New Deal policies
which are bad.

Editorials and Comment
SUNDAY MORNING. APRIL TO- 1888
SUBSIDlzING THE
MERCHANT MARINE
lTbe wall Street JournaD


That the American merchant marine is dan
gerouSly weak" in respect to both the countryS
defense and its world trade position, is the con-
Sidered opinion of Joseph P. Kennedy formerly
chairman of the Maritime Commission and now
our ambassador in London 1t is on that ground
that he explains and justifeS subsidies for ship
operators but he would restrict our subsidized
shipping to the creation and maintenance OF
modernized merchant fleet about equal to the
tonnage we have now. To go beyond that, he
says, would be needlessy expensive, since oper-
ating costs for Amercan-flag ships are extra
ordinarily heavy.
All of which is correct and reasonable. But
Mr.. Kennedy is quoted in press cables as saying
that the prices charged for ships by American
builders are "outrageouSly high 1t would be
be interesting to know why they are so. The an
nual report of a leading American Shipbuilding
corporation for 1887 exhibits an operating loss on
a million and quarter, this before allowing for
any interest payments or for certain tax assess
ments. Depreciation charges included in eX
penSes are but a fraction of the reported operat
ing loss. The company's accounting is approved
by well known firm of accountants. 1t is diff
cult to reconcile such report with outrageous
ly high contract prices for ships.
If there is outrage" in these prices it should
not be covered by subsidy. even for a fleet of
modest proportions. 1t should interest the Mari
time Commission to determine whether the
prices are in fact outrageous and if they are,
who and what make them so.
Substituting a mercantile marine may be
necessary, but substituting an outrage probably
isn't The commission should at least get the
record clear

WAS ALL THIS TROUBLE
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY?
Bakersfield Californian

When We read of the terms of settlement of
a strike in the bay district whereby HOO men
returned to work and scores of food stores re-
opened business, we wonder why such a disturb
ance should have been necessary. The trouble
baSically arose over the discharge of one en-
ploye. The agreement accepted by both sides
provided that the matter of that discharge should
be settled by arbitration and that all other
employees should return to work under condi-
tions existing prior to the trouble.
Nobody connected with the difficulty, it ap-
pears, offered the sound suggestion that the
agreement to arbitrate disputed point be settled
before there was any strike. A little tolerance
1t seems, might result in less interruption of
business. Certainly if it is agreeable to both
employer and employe that a disputed point
be arbitrated in the end neither of them can
offer good reason why it should not be arbi-
trated in the beginning. Thus in the case under
discussion rs stores and warehouses affected
could have continued in business and the activi-
ties and wages of 100 men could have gone on
as usual.
The railways and their employees have
plan that ought to appeal to employers and
employees alike the country over and perhaps
one of these days we may hope for the adoption
of a similar system affecting all industry 1t
certainly should appeal to sensible people that
dispute which can be readily adjusted should not
be the basis Of disruption of business in any
given line.

News Behind

The Wwpath Again g.
No Breathing Spell
Ry RODNEY DITTCHER

WASHIN GTON. - President
Roosevelt and his New Deal colonels
are resuming the warpath.
1t looks as if the so-called breath
ing spell, which a previous dispatch
reported was threatened after anti
administration statements by B. NJ.
Baruch and others made the Pres
ident sore, were about over.
This will be bad news to some,
but excellent news to discouraged
New Dealers on ami off Capitol
Hill who have been moaning that
the New Deal was falling apart,
that Roosevelt was doing everything
his enemies wanted him to do and
was letting his leadership go by
default.
Roosevelt now intends to go to
town for a wage-hour law and to
send Congress comprehensive
message on monopoly early in April.
The monopoly message is likely to
be a strong one, providing an issue
for an immediate fight in Congress
and for injection into the congress
Sional campaigns.
That the President still had some
fight left in him was indicated by
his removal of Chairman Arthur
Morgan of IVA. who was set up as
a hero by anti-New Deal groups,
and by the grim determination with
which administration forces united
to beat down the rebellion of con-
servative Democratic senators
against the reorganization bill.
Then what appears to be a gen.
uine war cry was sounded at
Gainesville, Ga, in F. D. RS in
dictment of southern wage scales
and an industrial "feudal system
The attack was aimed not only at
southern politicians who have block
ed wage-hour legislation, but also
at the industrial interests they rep
resent. 1t was an appeal to south
ern workers who the President hopes
will assert political strength and
send more liberal representatives to
Congress.
Those with whom Roosevelt con-
suited in advance of the speech are
sure that he will go the limit in
fighting for a wage-hour act at
this session. The nature OF the
bill which the House will pass, if
any, is only guesswork now because
of inability to get together on one
plan.
Considering the current presiden-
tial frame of mind, strong White
House attack to keep the vestige
of the principle of the undistributed
profits tax-retained in the House
tax bill but knocked out by the
Senate Finance Committee-seems
certain.
The outstanding front where the
President hasn't made up his mind
how and when to attack is the bust
ness depression. 1t becomes daily
more likely that he will be forced
into a spending program = or q
lending program amounting to
much the same thing. Already he
has told WPA chiefs that they
needn't plan for the ruthless cut
in WPA rolls which had been an
ticipated in April.
