Shall we dance?

Shall we dance? . BOuffant period gowns worn as modern dress call for something genteel and Great WaItzish than the Lambeth Walk. At any rate so it has been decided in social Washington Thus the Eleanor Gde has been introduced. It was first danced at state function the other night in the White House when young lady led off with gentle man in the East Room. The dance, we read, combines Oldfashioned mazurka, polka and barn dance steps, and the leading dancer in the White House the other night white organdie bouffant gown.

FUNDS KEEP l ON GROWING

The bald truth revealed by these facts is that the failure of in- vestment is not due to the failure of funds. Funds have steadily risen. The first theory behind gov- ernment borrowing was that as gov- ernment credit was used to create deposits at the banks, these deposits would begin to flow out into bus mess. The first proponents of this theory believed that few hundred million dollars would do the job. That was called priming the pump.
 Since then not few hundred
 millions, but staggering number
 of billions have been poured into the banks through government
 loans. But they have failed to flow out. Why?
 The pipe line along which sav- ings flow from the savings reser- voir of the country into new in- dustry is called investment. What has happened to that pipe line? Why do savings refuse to flow through it into industry? What force along the way is causing the trouble?

rise and continuously in depression under another?
 The answer is that as bank de- pOsits rose in the banks of Amer ica in 1925 to 1929 the accumula- tions of depositors were promptly poured into business through new investments. But from 1883 to 1888, as deposits rose, very little of these new deposits made their way into new investments.
 In the first group of years the deposits of banks rose under tht influence of private borrowing al the banks. Private borrowing al the banks has slowly diminished But government borrowing in creased. And deposits in the sec ond group of years increased un' der the influence of government borrowing.
