Excavations which are proceeding

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
IVA, SECRET RECORDS

Tho congressional committee investigating the
Tennessee Valley Authority finds itself handicapped
because the IVA is withholding records. The act
I'M, comptroller general charges that the IVA has
refused to submit it's accounts as required by
law" The IVA ressts the right OF the comptroller
general to supervise and control its expenditures
Investigators report that they have mad nculty IN
finding records and reports
The acting comptroller general says tnat ms OIL
fee had questioned total of Sls,oOO,00o OF IVA
outlaws but that upon presentation OF additional
evidence had approved $12,000,000 of this amount,
leaving S6,167OO0 still under exception. 1t ap-
pears that checks are in the records which the iva
Is suppressing 1T is not said in the Associated
Press dispatch how the, IVA spent money; per-
haps the comptroller generals Office mas no lnkhng'
1t is patent from what has been, brought to light
that the IVA board considers itself law unto 1t
self and that it is intolerant Of investigation. Wit
nesses have said that minutes have been changed.
This would reflect upon the accuracy OF the boards
own records of what it has done and what 1t pro-
poses to do. The IVA is constituted as federal
province independent of the state OF tennessee
Hundreds of automobiles carry IVA licenses IN
stead of Tennessee state licenses. The state is de-
prived of this revenue.
. 1t is unthinkable that the congressional commit
tee would tolerate suppression of IVA records.
There is every good for the comptroller gen.
erals office to pass upon every item OF dsburse-
ment If the IVA is permitted to spend money as
it pleases accounting to one, scandal is IN the
making. 1t is we'll known that the IVA has been a
costly adventure. 1t has been charged that eXces-
sive prices have been paid for cattle and livestock
The IVA is an example of what happens when
congress surrenders its power over expenditures.
Several of the abecdarian agencies have been given
blanket authority Members of both houses of con-
gress have been told they could not inspect records
Harry L. Hopkins, the WPA chief, has told at least
one senator that WPA spendings were none of his
business 1t looks as if the IVA has borrowed
leaf out of the Hopkins book on suppression. The
iva draws upon itself suspicion when it under
takes to withhold records and reports the spend
ing of public moneys.-The Charleston News and

NEW DEAL FAILURES

Justification by the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration for the wholesale slaughter of pigs in
1886 was that it would aid the farmers home mar
ket, says the Springfield, Mass, Union. AS with
most New Deal planning, it was short-slghted
view for it lowered production for generations.
1t appears from records that exports of pork
products that reached 315,700,000 pounds over a
period ending August, 1914, dropped in a CORE
spending period ending last August to only 54,-
O54 900 pounds. AS to imports of hams, shoulders,
bacons and other pork, products, the figures be-
tween 1910 and 1914 are negligible to escape
recording. except for the official record. But in
1897 these imports reached 47,054,OO pounds.
The New Deal policy with respect to hogs has
given the foreign pork professors opportunity
to sell in the American market at profit notwth-
standing the high tariff on hams and bacons. Dan
ish and Polish pork products to be obtained in
Charleston. And they are excellent pork products.
They sell for no more than the American pork
products of like grade. a3
Instead of keeping foreign pork products out of
the American market the Roosevelt administration
through its AAA has encouraged the foreign pro-
cessors to develop good business. The New Deal
policy in protection of the American hog breeder
has failed. 1t had to fail, for the New Deal is i'm
potent to destroy the age-od natural law of supply
and demand ,~-
+ If the New Deal intended to keep pork products
out of the reach of persons in the low-income
groups, it has succeeded, for the average American
looks on ham and bacon as being in the luxury
class. In how many Charleston homes are hams
served as frequently as they were served before
the AAA began its meddling?
If the tariff on pork products should be lowered

wise the .HawleySmoot-Hoov tariff downward)
foreign ham and bacon, would find many more buy
ers in this country for they would be underseHing
the American ham and bacon. The New Deal has
not benefited the American hog breeder and it has
not benefited the American consumer of pork prod
uets Never has any nation succeeded when it un-
dertook to regulate production of foodstuffs. The
AAA chose to disregard the experience of other
nations 1t continues to disregard their experience

BY JOHN T. FLYNN
NEA Service Staff Correspondent

NEA Service Stan correspondent
NEW YoRK.-sevep young
~ economists from Harvard and
Tufts Colleges have fabricated a
program for economic recovery.
Il appears in a small book just
published.
AS in 1882 stream of pro-
grams for rehabilitating America
pours out upon our desks. This
is the most interesting I have seen
chiefly because it comes from the
hands of men who understand the
anatomy of the capitalist system.
The program is based upon the
theory that the continuing func-
tioning Of the capitalist system re-
uuires a continuing flow of in
vestments. The authors point out
quite properly that this means
that private industry as a whole
must pay out in capital and OPP
Grating expenditures more than it
receives back in prices. Strange
as this may seem, it is true.
Private industry has ceased to
do this because capital investment
has almost come to an end. There
fore these gentlemen ground their
whole plan upon the proposition
that as private investment has
seemingly come to an end, the
government must step in and be-
come the great investor.
The whole problem, therefore,
is to organize and finance a vast
government investment program
which will be permanent. The
authors disclaim any plan to dis
rupt the economy of private own
ership. Private ownership having
abdicated at present the function
of capital investment expansion,
the government will undertake it
merely to protect the remaining
functions of private ownership.
Here is the program. (1) A
50-year program of rebuilding
America-its houses, starting with
homes for the slum jewellers. (2)
A vast expansion of our recrea-
tional facilities. (3) Great projects
to modernize our traffic facilities.
az A great program OF conser-
walton Of resources, particularly

soil through reforestallon ana fire
protection, engineering works to
retard surface erosion and a ma
tional program of river and dam
coordination for flood control.
(5) National program of educa-
tional and health expansion.
On the welfare side they would
extend old-age benefits to all
classes and abolish the old-age re-
serve account and would reorgan-
ize unemployment benefits to in
clude all workers and supplement
benefits by elastic work projects
to afford longer subsistence when
insurance benefits run out.
The problem of financing gov
eminent investment becomes the
terrifying ogre in any such. plan.
The authors advocate both taxa
ton and borrowing. They insist
tax revenues can be expanded
enormously by putting an end to
existing evasions and by abolish
ing tax-exempt securities. They
also advocate what this writer has
advocated, the taxing OF corporate
earnings in the hands of stock
holders rather than in the hands
of corporations-taxing earnings
rather than dividends. ..-
AS for borrowing, they face with
.eouanimity continuous borrowing,
wholly unterrifed by the con-
stantly rising level of the public
debt. The rising tide of taxes te
nav interest they dismiss with the
proposition that this can be rem
dered harmless in economics If the
ownership is spread out among all
the people. Then as all the people
viii be taxed to pay the interest,
the interest will 60 back to them
as owners of the bonds.
AS to private business, they urge
an end of trust busting. Great
aggregations of capital are useful.
The Government should regulate
those that can be regulated by
controlling prices and should take
over those which do not yield
to regulation. It should take over
the railroads, regulate prices OF
great basic industries and try both

ties. s.-,,,,. ,,.,
