certain what they want is what is euphemistically called recovery another flight of better times. That, then, is the most that can be at tempted now.
 Depressions are due to a failure of adequate purchasing power. This in turn is due to the failure of long term credit mechanisms in society. Why long term credit or invest ment-declines may be the result of various causes. Generally it is due to (D rising prices in capital goods industries, which check capital ex- pansion, (b) rising prices of con- sumer goods which cut purchasing power, Co rising debt burdens which limit credit of those who invest in capital industries and (d) exhaus- tion of credit or investment oppor- tunities.
 Here then are three loads which weigh an economic system down when it begins to crack - debt, prices, exhaustion of immediate credit opportunities.
 If this is so, and I think there can be no doubt of it, the worst possible course government can take is any effort to preserve the debt structure or keep up prices. MT. Hoover started the policy of trying to save debts. MT. Roosevelt continued it on vaster scale and used the most violent methods to

scheme for keeping prices up. And at the same time the government itself should use every instrument tality it has to prohibit private groups, combinations, trade associa- tions from entering agreements to hold up prices or to limit produc- tion, directly or indirectly. This means things like the Guffey Bitu- minous Coal Commission should be scrapped, the Sherman antitrust law and other trust laws like the Clayton Act should be vigorously and partially enforced.
 The same thing should be applied to agricultural prices. The Com modity Surplus Corporation should be demobilized and all attempts at begging farm prices should be ended. The farm problem can be attacked from a different angle.
 On the question of exhaustion of investment opportunities, there is nothing the government can do about that. That is problem strict ly for private business. It is sup posed to create those opportunities. If it does not, then certain other ad- justments will be necessary later.

DONALD MARTIN
 AWARDED PRIZE
Cheshire Boy Wins $25 in National All Club
 Competition

Five Connecticut All boys placed in the fourth national farm account contest recently judged in Chicago by a committee of agricultural ex- tension specialists. Accounts cover ing a full years bushes or a farm were entered by 549 clubsters in B states. They were required to show all receipts and expenditures, an opening and closing inventory, and suggest means of improving the net farm income.
 Donald B. Martin, 20, of Cheshire, a $25 winner who kept a record on hois fathers 104 acre farm found labor returns too low compared with the average farm. He also recom- mends increasing production per COW, doubling alfalfa acreage and increasing cash crops like sweet corn. Poultry returns would be raised, he believes, by adding an- othier deck to the poultry house to accommodate n all 1900 birds. The boys record is certified by County Club Agent Warren E. Crockett.
 Other state awards were $10 each to Charles Crary, Norwich, and Frederick w. Weingart, Torrington, and $5 each to John D. Flynn, Gay louisville, and Henry E. Haley, by the state extension service and Groton. The contest was conducted all awards were provided by the In- ternational Harvester pany, which is offering 805 prizes totaling $8,5O0 n the 1938-39 contest now un- der way.
 The national prize of $500 went to Donald Mosher of DeKalb, Illi- nois, and 543 other boys and girls won prizes amounting to $6,570.

put prices up. Both were actually taking measures to prolong the de- pression.
 The latest figure to achieve prom thence in Washington is John w. Hanes, Wall Street broker, of the SEC. He has a plan to put the gov ment in the business of lending money to merchants and manufac- turers to enable them to hold their excessive inventories in order to keep prices up. Seemingly the presi- dent likes MT. HaneS so much that he has made him assistant-secretary of the treasury. At the end of so many years of failure of the policy of saving debts and prices, there is something tragic about this.
 The first thing, therefore, in any plan of recovery is for the govern ment to withdraw at once and con- pletely from all schemes to keep alive private debts of all sorts - bonds, s stocks, mortgages. They should be allowed to go. Some will be hurt. Many will actually be help ed by it. But the opposite policy is to hurt the whole nation.

uncertainty in money policy. No man can make more than a guess now whether we are going to have defla- tion or imitation. We drift and all uncertainty arises out of that.
 The government can remove this uncertainty. It can definitely decide upon a policy of imitation or defla- tion. It can announce it and an- nounce its intention to adhere to that policy. It is not SO important which policy it pursues as to have the policy settled on, adopted and ended.
 Drifting deflation, drifting infla- tion are two most destructive of forces. This, think, should be the cornerstone of any program of re- covery.
