MONEY IS. STAcNANT

A return of private investment to ex-
listing industries is needed most to bring a
return of prosperity, declares DR.. H. G.
Moulton, president of the Bookings In
stitution, who points out that control of
the nations economic life has gone from
private to public hands.
He says that stagnation of investment
banking in recent years has created many
difficulties for banking Institutions, and
that those attempting to market securities
have been confronted with new and baf-
fling regulations and with such restricted
business that normal earnings have been

Strikes at the very foundation of the entire
capitalistic system
For these reasons DIR. Moulton
added. ''the restoration of the free flow
of money through the capital markets into
the expansion of productive plants and
equipment is the central problem in eco
nomic reconstruction
In short, there is plenty of money
available. but present laws and regulations
make it difficult to put it to work without
loss.

WHAT WILL THE ELECTION SHOW?

Political commentators are predicting
that the election next week will disclose
national trends.
We doubt the conclusion of the ex-
perts very much While throughout the
United States there are candidates run
ming on the Democratic, Republican and
other tickets, there is wide diversity in the
positions taken by the candidate under
the same party label. For example, there
are Democrats and Republicans running
on the Townsend Plan and Democrats and
Republicans against the Townsend Plan.
The same situation is found upon other is
sues.
So, it seems to us, the election next
week will not represent any very clear
cut decision of the American people on
public issues. So far as we can see, no
great, nationwide debate has conferred
around any issue. Local problems, prefer
ences and personalities are involved in
most of the races
Even Ill tI0 SCdleS WHERE SONckHOIS
are to be elected, very little can be cleaned
in the way of national Interpretation of
election results. While in most of the
states Democrats and Republicans vie with
each other for possession of state offices,
the party candidates, scattered throughout
the nation do.. not represent any very par
ticulart prinsipfas. Each state group adopts
its own policies and It very often happens
that the Democrats of one state oppose
what the Democrats of another state adj
vocate. The same observation, of course,
applies to Republicans.
1t would take a very careful analysis
of the results next Tuesday to determine,
what, if anything, the election demon
strates. Little or nothing will be apparent
from the figures showing how many mem
bers of either party go back to Congress.
1t will be necessary for the analysis to
know exactly the issues involved in each
district to be able to intelligently appraise
the political forces now working in the
nation.
1t might not be amiss to point out that
by the time the expert has the forces APP
praised, on the basis of results in Novem-
Der, new issues and conditions will prob
sbly be abroad in the land and the APP
praisal will be practically worthless as an
indication of what the people will do at
the polls in the future

Steady Advancing Prosperity

News from the business front
is almost uniformly good. Typical
comment came recently from Al
fred B. Sloan, head of General
Motors, who said, 81 feel en-
couraged for the first time in
many years that American bust
ness and industry are headed for
a long uphill pull" Inasrnuch as
Mr.. Sloan has often tended to
be very pessimistic in the past,
this is regarded as being of ex-
ceptional significance.
For about ten successive weeks,
the business indicators have
shown steady advances. This is
largely due to major improve
ment shown by the automobile
industry, whose, new models are
now coming on the market. In
one late week, car output jumped
so percent. Monthly shipment
rate, it is expected, will soon be
at the 100000 point. 3s
Construction figures continue
to be another bright spot in the
picture, with both residential and
non-residential building far above
the levels of last year. Still more
substantial increases in all kinds
of building, including public
works, are anticipated for this
winter and spring.
Retail trade, which hung be-
hind industrial production during
most of the summer months, is
on the rise now, with Christmas
prospects in most parts of the
country good.
1t is an interesting fact that
the wage-hour law came into eff
feet without causing much of a
ripple in business. One reason is
that most large businesses are
unaffected by the laws mini
NUNS, inasmueh as they have
long exceeded them. Another is
that most business men believe
that moderate reforms of this ma
ture are inevitable and desirable.

Editor, The Citizen:
Since the editor of The Citizen
is alarmed at the influence of the
CIO in the automobile industries,

an appraisal of its results be in
order?
For, we find for the first time
in history giant number of men
in trade unions who were never
included in the AT of L. The
men are earning relatively good
salaries. In previous years all
good salaries went TO the heads
of tie corporations and the
Pinkerton agencies, to prevent
any agitation among the men for
decent working conditions.
Since The Citizen is rightfully
indignant at the downfall of
democracy in Europe and fears

Tins of the fascist revolts were

| despite the ardent efforts of the
Dies Committee to find a Com
munist plot, the only significant
discovery was of the German spy
ring in New York. That was un-

PULLING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS
Roger Babson)

lhoger BabSonl
The No. l problem of the day is the widen
ing gulf between employers and workers
AS long as labor leaders maintain their pres
ent attitude, We can have no permanent pros
perity.
The government is helping labor leaders to
antagonize employers
Through relief, the government is supporting
labor leaders in their organizing and striking eff
forts
Through the NLRB'S radical decisions, the
government IS helping to widen the reef between
employer and worker
Today management and labor are pulling IN
opposite directions We can never have real
prosperity until they again pull together.

That Norberg Thompson, in
stead of ]. F. Lowell, will take
over, finance and operate the
Monroe county ferry system at an
early date is considered as almost
definitely sure as the result of a
proposition submitted at a spe-
cial meeting of the board last
night. Mr.. Lowell was present at
the meeting and is reported to
have been entirely agreeable to
the acceptance of the Thompson
offer instead of his own. Mr..
! Thornpson's agreement is that he
will take over the ferry system
and operate it without any ex-
pense to the county and deposit
to the credit of the county all the
net profits accruing from opera
ton of the system until the prof
its total an amount sufficient to
retire 100000 county bonds,
which is the Indebtedness of the
county on the Ferry issue. When
that time arrives Mr.. Thompson
is to come into complete owner
ship of the ferries, giving the
county one-third Of the net in
come as the cost of the franchise
for the privilege of operation.
The contract between Mr..
Thompson and the county COM
missioners is being drawn today
by County Attorney William H.
Malone and at an early date a
meeting will be called to execute
the agreement.

The business of our community is the greatest

You may think that you play but small part
in the integral life of your community. You may
excuse yourself from participating in the affairs of
your neighborhood on the theory that one person
will not be missed in crowd But suppose your
neighbor entertains the same idea-your theory
dissolves in thin air and the community is the
loser.
By all the inherent principles of our republican
form of government we are obliged to support our
community life if we to strive Upon this
basic formula our churches, our schools and hos
pitfalls depend. All of our institutions were founded
upon cooperation and coselyknit community spirit.
This, on large scale explains our County, our
State and our Nation.
