Proposes Scheme for
Planned Production.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The National Economic and Social
Planning Association is holding its an
nual meeting In Washington. would
like to suggest through your columns an
idea Of mine which think might inter-
est them.
In order for people to buy goods they
must have money; in order for them to
have money they must receive wages.
Either industry pays wages or the Gov
ernment taxes industry and pays relief.
If industry would manufacture more
goods and give labor, through wages, the
buying power to absorb increased pro-
duction, there would be no necessity for
relief. Therefore industry should manu-
facture more goods, pay more wages and
hire more men.
But industry is composed of big and
little concerns which are unable to ar
rive at any concerted plan to keep pro-
duction at high level; and though Amer
lea has enough machinery, enough raw
materials and enough man-power to pro-
vide plenty for all, it will take better
organized system than we now have to
bring these three together.
The plan here suggested would give
Congress the power to appoint produc-
ton planning boards over key industries.
The duties Of these boards would be to
plan ahead the quantity of goods that
should be produced by the industry as
whole, and to assign to each concern a
quota. These quotas would be based on
inventories of the concerns machinery
and would be subject to check by Govern
ment inspectors. The Government should
guarantee to purchase, at cost price,
production within that amount for which
there was no market, and should impose
tax of 10 per cent Of the cost price of
the goods that concerns failed to make
The money derived from this tax would
be more than enough to take care of the
unemployed and should be used for that
purpose. Along with this working hours
should be limited to such an extent that
all available workers would be required
on the job.
Under this plan there would be no d.

Navy Beef

If some opponent of the New Deal
had made the suggestion that the
Navy buy its canned beef from the
Argentine, at eight cents less pound
than the American product, the man
in the street would have called it Just
another conservative economy move
and forgotten it.
But when the average citizen reads
that the Navy is given this advice
by President Roosevelt, the father of
the New Deal, it must leave him
somewhat confused.
For six years the chief aim of
the administration has been to pro-
mote the welfare of the workers. Bill
lions have been spent for work relief
to keep men out of the bread lines.
The Social Security Act, with its pay
roll taxes, has set up unemployment
insurance and old-age pensions. The
National Labor Relations Act has
encouraged collective bargaining,
and the Wage-Hour law has guar
anteed employees minimum standards.
These activities of the New Deal
necessarily tend to raise the cost of
American products. How, it might
be asked, can this new social order
be maintained, unless the goods pro-
duced under it are sold? And how
can they be sold if government itself
sets the example of shopping around
the world for a price cut of few
cents a pound?
OF course, the loss to domestic trade
on the Navy's beef order will not in
itself be great. But it could assume
serious magnitude If applied to many
other products or supplies that un-
questionably could be bought for less
In cheaper labor markets of the
world
These questions become even more
pertinent when one recalls another
New Deal law, the Walsh-Healy Act,
which says that any manufacturer or
contractor who wants to sell Uncle
Sam more than $4,000 worth of ma
terials, supplies and equipment must
agree to pay prevailing wages fixed
by the government, limit hours, ban
child labor and provide his workers
with sanitary and safe workshops.
Even if the Walsh -Healy Act has
no direct application to purchase of
the beef supply, it enunciates and
applies a principle that would
leave the domestic manufacturer at
a disadvantage If the acceptance of
cheaper bids from other countries
on other things should become the
practice.
AS an economy measure, therefore
the South American beef purchase
would be somewhat inconsistent, and
hardly calculated to make much of a
dent in this years impending deficit.
The President, however, is reported
to have said also the Argentine beef
is not only cheaper, but better. That
raises an entirely different question
that will be challenged by mem
bers Of Congress from the Western
cattle States. Some of these members
point out that this development
comes on top of competition their
section already is facing from Can
adam cattle, under the reciprocal
trade treaty program. But If the Ar
gentine product actually is as SUI
perior in quality as indicated, the
case for the domestic producers is
materially weakened. The higher
prices can be defended, but an in
ferior grade of beef cannot.

To the Editor Of The Star:
With millions unemployed, tits trag-
edy so few Americans have access to re-
ports on congressional committee hear
ings. Those received today on Senator
Reynolds five bills to reduce immigration
show amazing testimony. Here is one
quotation: CONGRESSMAN praises Roose-
welt administration for having admitted

Several pages Of a newspaper carry
positions wanted" ads by refugees
yet millions Of Americans are on relief.
Another page gives an affidavit Of a
department manager, 80 years resident
in Brooklyn, discharged, place filled by
alien refugee.
A certain hyphenate group floods
America with propaganda to admit TO-
600 children outside quota. If this be-
comes law there will follow similar prop
aganda to admit their relatives on the
