SOCIAL GAINS, AND NATIONAL DEFE

Professor Of Public Finance, Princeton University

ter profit returns. To release these
forces there must be extensive
change of restrictive and penalizing
legislation which today hold the
American industrial giant in chains.
Even. in Nazi Germany the proper
ton of profits to national income
has risen much more than the pro-
portion of the other shares of that
income. If Hitler found it necessary
to let profits increase relative to
other forms of income in order to
get guns instead of butter, how can
we expect to provide for defense and
also to preserve social gains by pur-
suing contrary course.
y The people should be from Mis-
souri, on this point. Instead Of lis
tening to specious promises, they
should be looking for evidence that
the changes are being made in law
and administration which viii make
possible delivery on these promises.
AT this moment such evidences will
be very hard to find. They should
not be deceived, in this quest by the
temporary or false prosperity pro-
duced by defense spending, which is
just another case of pump printing
on a very large scale. If the produce
tive expansion does not go beyond
the defense operations, and it will
not go much farther unless the
shackles are taken of, the result
win be the same kind of lifeless,
hand-to-mouth growth that was
produced by the earlier efforts to
spend ourselves rich. No glorious
future" Of economic development
viii come that way. 1904

eral Hatcheries

Through the efforts of Congress-
man J. Joseph Smith large con-
signment of small mouth bass will
be delivered today to representatives

quest from such an organization.
The fish were to be brought to
the Hitchcock lake in a huge truck
and turned over to members of the
/ Association for release In both the
upper and lower lakes. They will
be brought from the South Arcadia,
Rhode Island hatchery, a unit of
the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries.
Announcement of the delivery
was made today by Joseph Fow,
Of the Waterbury Fish and Game
Association, who received notice
from the Bureau Of Fisheries. APP
plication for the fish was made by
the Association through Congress-

National defense and social gains
Is another way of saying gums and

promise to carry on social reforms
as usual while pouring our national

a, very different thing to deliver the

who may be inclined to accept such
promises at face value would do well
to ask for some advance signs that
delivery can be made.
Defense production and social
gains. Or both guns and butter, will
require a.xast increase in total pro-
duction If this increase does not
happen, then It will follow here, as
1t did In Germany, that there shall
be guns instead of butter. The social
gains will have to be given up to
whatever extent may be required by
the defense needs. Everybody knows

to be capable of crushing every house within 400
square yards of the spot on which the mine lands.
With the mine prevented from sinking into the
