SOLONS SETTLE
DOWN TOGRIND
Congress Debates AT
Length Over Funds
Nation Demands

W ASHIN TON, ID. C BY
Mall The House Of Representa-
tives is keeping longer hours this
week for the first time this ses-
SION. Various committees have
begun to report out bills for con-
sideration. During the current
week the House has been debating
and voting on the appropriations
for the many federal Independent
offices and agencies such as the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Federal Communications Commits
sion and Civil Aeronautics Author
ity.
An effort was made to drasti-
eally limit the funds available for
the latter agency until ii was
pointed out that the Civil Aero
nautics Authority does such work
as building beaeons, improving air
ports and generally improving
safety facilities for air travel.
II is notable that on the whole
the Republican members of the
House have refrained from trying
to cripple any of the vital govern
mental agencies. even though some
were created by a Democratic ad-
ministration. The minority party
recognizes the value Of many
agencies that have been the erea-
lures OF their Democratic friends
across the aisle.
Foreign Policy Excitement
There has been considerable ex-
eitement In the national capital
during the past week over the
charges and counter-charges pro-
voked by certain statements issued
in connection with the presidents
foreign policy. Many extreme iso-
lationists have attempted 10 make
capital out of the presidents ut
teranees.
Leading thinkers of the nation
are unanimous In the conviction
that no effort is being made to
lead the nation along path lead
ing to danger of war. The most
recent controversial issue has CEN
tered around the advisab ility OF the
u. S. selling planes to France and
England in an effort to build up
their air strength in time of peace.
The Roberts Debate
Failure of Judge Roberts of Vir-
ginia to be confirmed for the post
10 which he was nominated by the
president, that of federal judge,
vas not slap at the president so
much as rigid adherence to SEN
lite custom and tradition. The sem
lite practice of refusing to confirm
my presidential nominee, II he is
personally obnoxious" TO the SEN
tors of that state. has become
lallowed with time and strength
ned by the chubby atmosphere of
he senate chamber.
Winter Recreation
During the past several weeks
John M. Coffee has
'een making strenuous efforts TO
btain additional National Park
service assistance in the matter of
and expanding skiing
ABILITIES at Tipsoo Lake and Cay
sc Pass areas for the added con-
enience of Enumclaw and North
rstern Pierce county skiing and
winter enthusiasts.
The Park Service has promised

ed with limited funds.

MouIfon Warns
That Booming Prices
Will Bring Collapse
Moenotes Told They
Should Fall; Coming
Months Seen Crucial
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Harold @.
Moulton, president of Brookings In
stitution, and member of the Fed
eral War Resources Board, told sew
eral hundred leading financiers, in
dustrialists and publicists yesterday
that economic developments on the
North American continent In COM
ing months may well prove OF de-
cisive Importance to the whole fu-
ture of industrial civilization"
A runaway price situation will
bring collapse and depression, he
warned.
Mr.. Moulton was the chief speaker
at an annual automobile show
luncheon given by Alfred p. Sloan,
jr, chairman of General Motors
Corp, who described the Brookings
Institution as IAN oasis of straight
economic thinking in a desert OF
confusion"
Guests included John D. Rookie
feller, jr.; Bernard M. Baruch,
Thomas w. Lamont, and scores OF
top-ranking bank and corporation
officers.
Mr.. Moulton warned industrialists
who have been too optimistic over
business expansion caused by an
ticipated war orders. He asked:
What If the war should end sud-
denly? Even if it proves to be Of
long duration, what will be the ulti-
mate repercussions upon this coun-
try? Are we not now riding the
wind and promoting a business
boom with the familiar distortion
of prices, wages and other cost
factors? Are we not sure to see
sooner or later, and perhaps sooner

Postal Union Contract
Cuts Working Hours
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Oct 18-Reductions
of as much as two hours in the work
week of employees were provided yes
terday in an agreement signed by
the Postal Telegraph-Ca Co. and
the American Communications As
sociation &C. I. o..
Effective October "a. the agree
ment amends an existing contract
signed January IA of this year and
affects 1900 employees. Officials
of the union said employees would
benefit, through replacement time,
or overtime, by approximately ST.
900, 900.
Under a special formula, day
workers weekly hours are set at A
hours, for which they will receive
48 hours pay. Previously, employees
in this classification worked 46 hours
for 48 hours pay. Similarly, early
night workers hours are set at AZ,
for 48 hours pay. Previously, they
had worked A. Late night workers
will labor Al hours for 48 hours pay,
for which they formerly worked ~.
No reductions in base pay were
made.
The company also agreed to guar
antee the 30-cent-per-hour mini
mum for messengers, and to with
draw its application for exemption
from this provision of the wages
and hours law.

restrict foreign purchases. -
The magnitude Of European wsr
demands may well have been mis-
gauged. II 50, the increase in pro-
duction schedules and in raw ma
terial prices has overshot the mark. "
Raw material prices, he said, might
not go higher; there is quite Is
much reason for believing they will

rather than later, . new collapse
and another protracted period Of
painful readjustment?"
Prices Should Fan.
Mr.. Moulton asked that the de-
sirable objectives be stated as fol-
lows:
THE economic goal of the United
States at this time should be to
make full utilization of our eco
nomic resources in expanding pro-
duction without permitting q gen.
eral imitation Of prices and a de.
struction Of equilibrium in the eco
nomic system"
Pointing out huge surplus stores
Of most raw materials, adequate
labor supplies, except for some
skilled branches, readily expandable
productive capacity and super
abundant" stores of money and
credit, he said:
: There is, thus, no scarcity basis
for great advance in the general
level Of commodity prices. - It
would seem clear that as output
expands unit costs of production
should, for q time, fall. -"
Manufacturing industry is at the
moment confronted with the fact
that raw material prices as q group
are now approximately 10 per cent
higher than in August, in many
cases Is per cent.
There is much reason for believ-
ing that the great upsurge in raw
material buying which has &C.
CURED since August has resulted in
greater price advance in many
raw materials than Is warranted by
the fundamental supply and de-
mand factors. -.
Europe May Not Buy Widely.
European purchases may we'll be
Of much more restricted character
than has generally been assumed" p"
Mr.. Moulton pointed out the
greatly diminished credit base of
the Allies, compared with the World
War, the lack of the frantic COM
petition for American supplies
which prevailed during the first
years and sent our prices skyrocket-
ing and the possibly diminished
need for United States supplies,
except in few lines.
