facing a penetrating analysis of the
question of government subsidies

may lead-emanates from Chris L.
Christensen, dean of the College
of Agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin, ard formerly secretary
of the federal farm board.
At a time when extreme state

sen has the sound Judgment to
approach the problem realistically.
There are certain types of govern
ment aid he points out. which are
advantageous and which operate in
the public interest. But it is vitally
necessary that we distinguish these
types OF assistance from those where
the disadvantages undoubtedly out
weigh the advantages"
An analyst. whose experience and
background aGd weight to his con-
cluSions, Mr.. Christensen makes
this general comment which merits
the SOBER consideration of all farm
ers. irrespective of their political
or economic beliefs;
The extension of governmental
aid to agriculture has involved an
increasing direction of agriculture
by government
In short, the problem which farm
ers must face is simply this: How
much independence are we willing
TO sacrifice to gain governmental
subsidies?
I'VE all appreciate, of course, in
a society becoming increasingly COM
plicated, that the government has
a responsibility of seeing that the
great economic groups enjoy equal
ity of opportunity. says Mr.. Chris
tenSen. This involves some meas
ure of active government interven-
tion. The great great question, and
one not easy of analysis, is the de-
gree TO which this intervention NAV
go before the advantages outweigh
the disadvantages"

The organization known as the
Camp Fire Girls is an agency par
-icularly deserving of community
support inasmuch as it offers adol-
eScent girls an outlet for their
social impulses. The girls work to-
ether. learn the value of cooper
atiCn and community service and
participate in the colorful impress
i've Camp Fire ceremonials togeth-
3r. Their close associations natur-
lily result in The forming of friend
hips that endure the strain OF
passing time and diversified
areers.
The Camp Fire group was found
I'd in 1912 in response to the de-
nand for a program that would

New HaVen's S Plan

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Dec. 80

York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad, today are filing new re.
organization plan for the road
with the Interstate Commerce
Commission which will feature
drastic reductions in the COM
pany'S gross funded debt.
Original reorganization plans
for the company were based on
possible increased earnings in
1888 and the future. However,
this years deficit will probably be
nearly double the $4,000, 900 re-
ported in 1887. On the basis of
this showing, greater reductions
in debt than originally planned
will be necessary, it was said.

not be turned into a deficit for

Politicians always have a weak
ness for this theory; because tine
people" like to think that they
should be given more purchasing
power" (mabuma or berrleS), ana
the politician likes to promise his
"fellow citizens what they want.
NO NEW NOVELTY
It is Mr.. Eccles' idea that some
how or other, business recesSions
get started on their downward
course. This is "deflation." Then,
he holds, the Government must
step in and stop the deflation or
else. (He seems to forget that
recessions, deflations, and depres-
sions have been coming and going
for a hundred years without any
stepping in" by the Govern
mentO
Then. assuming that the defla-
ton is stopped, the Government
is supposed to step out, and to do
so in a way which will not start
renewed deflation. (Mr. Eccles
is still chastened and repentant
concerning the way he stepped
out in early 1887, by raising re-
serve requirements, etc.
GUST IMAGINATION"
He states that private enterprise
Is in no position to employ our
resources profitably, because there
Is insufficient buying power in
the hands of the public to pur-
chase the full output of existing
facilities.
All this line of "ideology" is
Just the imagining of politician
who wants to retain office by
giving voters paper money.
The fact is that depressions
start when currency is most abund-
ant, and people seem to have un-
limited purchasing power" This
is in boom times. Then debt is
large, and inability to pay debts
starts the recession.

| No human being ever, in peace
time, spent other peoples money
so lavishly; no other head of a
nation ever contracted such colos-
sal debts so gaily; no other ruler
ever ran up such staggering def
cits so rapidly when war was not
being Waged.
This column has been striving
earnestly to bring home to our
Federal lawmakers that their
cardinal duty is to stop rushing
the nation deeper and deeper into
debt and to restore the prosperity
which is the birthright of this
youthful, wealthy. enterprising, re-
|sourceful, uniquely-blesSed nation.
The public spoke on November
8. They proclaimed ringingly that
they have reached the conclusion
that more prosperity is more de-
Sirable than more politics calcu-
lated to bedevil prosperity and EN-
ployment.
SERIOUS BRAKE
Already the most serious brake
on recovery is soaring taxation.
And the prospect, unfortunately,
is that still heavier tax burdens
must be borne by business and all
of us because the New Dealers con-
tinue to incur deficits beyond any
thing ever ventured by any other
government on the face of the
earth. For this fiscal year an ad-
ditional deficit of $4,o0O,000, 900
stares Americans in the face.
The New Dealers profess sincere
sympathy with the "ill-fed, ill-clad,
ill-houSed." Fine! But no govern
ment can hope to raise their status
unless employment-giving enter
pEises are enabled to stay in busi-
ness.
