DETERMINING VALUES
or LABOR. CAPITAL

Editor. The Times. no one
disputes the fact that the su-
tomotive Industry with all
its branches Va not only some
thing OF economic consequence
In the scheme Of things, but
that IT contributes in no small
measure 10 increase the pro-
ductiye capacity Of the world.
and that Is what counts. But
the primary objective of the
automotive industries and their
allies. Is profit. and not the con-
tibution of generous largess to
the dear public
The automotive interests wish
10 convince US that this recently
born industry Is doing wonders
in the way Of comforting great
sood upon labor and the world
as "A whole and incidentally
therefore it should not be too
much interfered with govern
mentally.
We agree that too much gov
ernmental meddling with any
legitimate business Is an I'M
wholesome and undesirable
thing But, then again, We have
the duty 10 measure the contri-
button to our welfare. by any
industry, with the yardstick Of
economic actualities.
A representative labor paper
recently stated that of the value
OF all automobiles and motor
trucks turned out, labor received
only IL per cent. Superintend-
anee and management and capt.
tai would thus receive SIS per
cent, all Of which is, of course.
pure unadulterated moonshine.
Beginning properly enough with
labors part in harvesting the
raw materials and following
through to the end. the figures
would be approximately re-
yersed.
Upon the other hand. the au-
tomotive industries declare that
they make or provide employ
ment for 6.1S2, 900 persons.
They do nothing of the sort.
The necessity for labor was laid
down by divine decree long ago.
and nothing can change it in this
material experience. In the eco
nomic scheme Of human life, la
Dor is primary. second only to
land coming ahead of capital.
Otherwise there would be no
capital. But labor as an economic
factor must be productive Of
net gain and not a matter Of
mere motions. BY sweat of the
brow, your own brow it should
be and not that of somebody
else. you live At least some
body has to labor productivity.
else you do not exist. That is
the simple, short way of stat
ing it.
II the e,1S2. 900 said to be en-
ployed by the automotiye in
dustries with an average pay Of
say $500 a year or a total
of Se,19s, 900, 900, very good.
| Catalog prices and market
charges are not reliable criteris
in this. Otherwise. the net result
is a still greater deficit for the
nation and the world. and a
wider disparity between the red
and the black in the public
ledger.

Balkans

Obviously Italy has resented Ger
many's economic invasion of the
Balkan states, for while the Rome
Berlin axis is her most important
alliance, Italy nevertheless has
long-standing ambitions in Yugo-
Slavia, Albania and Hungary. There
fore correspondents have watched,
with tongue in cheek while Italy's
Count Galeazzo Ciano, foreign min
lister and son-in-law of Premier Mus
solini, stresses his diplomatic rela-
tons with Hungary. While appar-
emily attempting to draw Hungary
into the Rome-Berlin axis and the
lo-German-Japanes anti-commu-
mist pact Cat expense of the League
of Nations), Count Ciano is probably
more interested in making his Bal
kan neighbors dependencies of
Italy.
Likewise, Rome has watched with
interest Yugo-Slavian Premier Mi
Ian Stoyadinovitch's victory in the
December general election, which
probably paves the way for Yugo-
Slavian Fascist state. While Count
Ciano works on Stoyadinovitch, that
gentleman has crawled into his
shell to wait the outcome of Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain's JAN
uary conference with Premier Mus
solini. If Mussolini emerges VIC
torious, Yugo-Slavia will probably
lead the Balkans in pro-Italian

U. S. Tops in Music

In recent years, thanks to the
radio, Americans have acquired a
love and an understanding of mu-
sic that would surprise most Euro
peans. We hear everything the
world has to offer. And dissatis-
fed and cynical though I am about
a lot of other things on our must
cal scene, believe that our taste
and our public today are the most
cosmopolitan and the most exact

Kings that will have ready

quickly from odds and ends of ma

things for gifts-these are the re-
quests that come in the mail.
Here is another suggestion that
has stood the test of practical use
"a fiat case that holds six pairs
of stockings. What a relief not
to have them all mixed up with
underwear and other things in
dresser drawers.
This case may be made quickly
on the sewing machine. A piece
of cretonne or bright ticking or
other cotton material of the di-

two yards of contrasting bias

And Loans to European
Countries Remain Unpaid

AS hear these various plans dis
cussed and as I hear other ways of
spending money projected, I am
more and more impressed with the
sound thinking of Nebraska's Gov
ernor Cochran. Where is all of this
money coming from? I have neither
the money, nor the answer.
In the midst of all of this, what
should be catapulted upon the scene
but proposal to loan money to the
Central and South Americans. The
idea is to loan them money and
help them buy products of the Unit
ed States-and thus keep the Euro
peans out of our neighbor countries.
I do not know enough about the pro-
gram to analyze it because it is a
far-fetched and intricate scheme.
Probably, we ought to do something
to keep the Americas for the Amer
leans, but it was only December Is
that we were reminded again that
the United States loaned something
like Sill 900, 900, 900 to flock of Eu-
ropean nations to help make the
world safe for democracy.
On December Is, according to the
treasury figures, there was a little
over $4,000, 100000 of that money
due-and unpaid. The original debts
were refunded. That is to say, the
debtor nations were given period
of years over which to repay the
loans. They started out to meet the
payments, but first one and then
another found reason for not max
ing the semi-annual payments that
were due in June and December,
until now only little, but very re-
spectacle, Finland is making the
payments as they are due.
The nations in default are Great
Britain, France, Italy, Belgium,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland,
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Rumania
and Yugoslavia. In addition to all
of these, the Russian empire, which
is no more, obtained several hum
dred millions and the Soviet of this
day knows nothing of the obhga-
ton"
