For the utilization of funds
At will stimulate industrial &C
tivity and promote employment,
cirrie points out. there are only
four major fields: Exports. gov
eminent expenditures. private in
vestments, accumulation Of in
ventories. In every line except
exports the prospects are gloomy.
They will probably total billion
dollars more than in 1889, but
their benefits are not widely dis
tributed. So far they have ere
ated only a few jobs and only a
slight increase in purchasing
power.
Even the Export gain win be
offset by the decrease in federal
spending, which now totals $780,
600, 900 monthly as against $780,
000,0 in 1899. Private industry
factories, utilities, railroads
and housing-show no signs of
expansion. Inventories. which
rose a billion dollars in 1895
last quarter, due to war psychol-
ogy. are now being sold to meet
customers current needs. Thus
the economic index figure has
spiraled downward from Decem-
ber's 1913 to 100 for last month
may hit 30 during the summer.
Currie's communicates present
embarrassing alternatives to the
White House. FDR may pursue
his laissez-faire policy, and let
things drift downward on a ma
tional election eve. Or he may
be forced to ask q hostile and
troubled congress to raise the
debt limit and initiate a new
round of heavy spending.
Winston Churchill flung
badly equipped and numerically
weak army into Norway against
the advice of the British general
staff, according to information
from London. 1t has provoked an
internal row which may result in
the fall of the war coordinator-
possibly of the Chamberlain min
istry. The British people are
growing rebellious over the long
string of diplomatic and military
failures.
Professional soldiers warned
of the difficulties of landing
troops, tanks, artillery and anti
aircraft in fjords already held by
the enemy. They pointed out that
the Germans controlled all stra-
tegic airdromes, making impos-
sihle aerial protection for land
forces.

PREDICTS RADICAL
ECONOMIC CHANGE

Editor, The Times: Foreign
markets for American made
goods are almost a thing of the
past. American invented and
reduced manufacturing machin-
cry has been shipped in large
quantities to over-populated for
eign nations. With their hordes
of unorganized cheap labor they
now supply the world markets
that were formerly ours, to-
gether with the displacement of
manual labor by privately own
ed labor-saving machines. Labor
of unionized America has been
forced into idleness by the ma
chimes of its own handiwork,
and no wars win solve the prob
lens that face us.
World war was fought over
markets and economic advant-
ages, and the debacle in Europe
today is caused by the same
causes, and so is the depression
in the u. S. A; that has strand
ed approximately twelve millions
Of our workers, made hungry 20
to 40 millions of their depend
ents and made of them q seri-
Gus liability instead of a valu-
able asset that under normal
conditions they are.
win the u. S. enter the Europ-
can war? No! A thousand times
no! We will solve our problems
In the American way, and re-
main at home. The killed. Grip
Piled and gsssed; the widowed
and orphans. and the billions Of
dollars that the first world war
cost us, makes US want no more
war.
Don't blame union labor for
eonditionsi While labor has been
fighting for its very existence 1t
has been too easily fleeced out Of
its productions by sharpers aided
and protected by an unsound
economic system. Private own
srship of the socially produced
machinery of production and the
unsatisfiable greed of those in
possession of it, who do not care
for the citizenry II their coun-
try Is responsible for the millions
Of starving unemployed of the
u. S. A. Now that our govern
ment is forsaking the WPA
workers, the deplorable eondi-
tons of unemployment are being
intensified.
We would not need to worry
what foreign nations did or did
not do. IL our American machin-
cry was socially owned. and

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

from other social groups Of the
vicinity. Following the dinner,
a meeting was held, attended by
several hundred residents. Mr..
johnson was the main guest
speaker and a question period
closed the meeting. other guests
were John Stevenson and Frank
Valentine.
1t was the wish of the resi-
dents that the bridge be built
by public money and operated
at low toll rate for the benefit
of the public, as there had been
some talk in Tacoma of a priv
ately owned project. The ex-
pectation was that the army
and navy departments of fed
eral government, the state and
county and the railroads would
collaborate in raising the needed
funds. 1t was projected at first
as double decker, with trains
running on the lower deck.
The cost was estimated at from
10 to IA millions.
Mrs. J. B. Fuller was presi-
dent of the Gig Harbor I'M
provement club. The entire az
fair was managed by Mrs. Willis
P. Yarnell, their secretary, as
general chairman.
In order to get the most bene-
fits of the bridge it will be
necessary that the toll rate be
very low. The residents now
want it to be rs cents for car
and driver, and cents for each
extra passenger. The traffic
will be three times heavier at
that rate than twice the cost.
It is believed that the toll bridge
authority has set the rate much
higher. But it belongs to the
people and should be operated
for their exclusive benefit. In
8 democracy the will Of the peo-
pie is paramount. We must ex-
ercise our democracy or stand
chance of losing 1t. I was
over there a few days ago and
the people are up in arms
about it. The powers that be-
should take notice and heed the
"vox Populi." They know what
they want and what is best for
their locality.
This is the freest country in
the world. We, the people, can
keep it so.

But there is one which Is less obvious 1t cropped up

1t was an amazing paradox Of
