At one place MT. EccleS assumes that one group of our people can not increase their incomse without robbing others. He says: "The price and profit increases necessary to make up for such past losses would have to come out of the economy generally, at the expense of all other groups" Now the fact is that when there is a general expansion in na- tional income, the increased income of one class need not be at the ex- pense of other groups" Now the fact is that when there is general ex- pansion in national income, the in- creased income of one class need ot be at inc expense of others.
 Then MT. EccleS argues that gov ernment expenditure increases na- tional income, which will make pos sible greater taxes, which will en- able us 10 balance our Federal bud getl One must suppose that national income does not increase except as government expenditures increas, and that govrnments could not pcs sibly spend themselves into bank ruptcy but only into balanced puu- gets. Here is an example of his as- sumptionS as to cause and effect: "So long as the government is rap- idly increasing it's total expenditures, I do not see how these outlays can be covered on a pay-as-you-go basis because the increased national in come and the tax revenues resulting therfrom cannot b realized until after the sums are spent" The sli- max of his anlysis is this: The defense program is demonstrating before our very eyes the feasibility of raising the national income through government expenditures. 1" In the 1e2O's, when government ex- penditures were much less than in the 1930's, one would suppose, on the basis of the Eccles reasoning, that the national income then must have been smaller than in the 1930's. But 1t was larger.

TESTIMONIAL FOR
 VETERAN EMPLOYE
Waterville Division of Sco- will Co. HOnOrs Joseph
 E. MOntambauIt

The friends and associates from the Scovill Waterville Division Plant gave a testimonial dinner last evening in honor of Joseph E. Mon tambault who enters into voluntary retirement the first of the year af- ter 46 years of continuous service with the American Pin Company and the Scovill Manufacturing Com pany. The assembled group ex- pressed sincere regret when Mir. Montambault's decision to retire was announced and formal tribute for his many years of loyal service was given by Samuel G. Gaillard, Jr., general manager of the plant. MT. Gaillard later presented MT. Mantambault with a twenty -one jewel wrist watch, a token of esteem from his many friends. The dinner was held at Larson's Grill, Lake wood.
 "Joe", as he is familiarly known, began the first and only employ ment of his career with the Ameri- can Pin Company in 1894. He started in as a machine operator and gradually advanced himself to the positions of toolsetter and as- sistant foremen until in 1917 he was appointed foreman In 1925 The American Pin Company was pur- chased by the Scovill Manufatcur- inf Company and the plant today is known as the Waterville Division. MT. Montambault's responsibilities increased in the ensuin gyears, until at persent he is foreman of the Drill and Tap, Hand Screw, Chucking Machine and Assembling Depart mentS.
 The friends and associates who gathered to honor MT. Mantambault were: s. c. Gaillard, Jr., general manager; R. L. Keavaney, produc- tion manager; F. F. Donahue, gen. eral foreman; A. H. Goepel, R. G. Monore, R. L. Bates, G. Goggin, E. J. Green, w. L. Pennell, D. MacKel- lar, A. McSweet, E. c. Winters, J. P. Waters, R. A. Ferris, E. F. Kirley, P. E. Skokan, E. Donohue, w. Bolan, w. H. Knox, N. Porch, J. Duncan, s. Barbieri, R. c. Brink, R. E. Gre nier, T. Kelly, w. Felladore, J. L. Lynch, H. Hoethke, F. Bartlett, A. N. Pasman, Bridgeport Brass Com pany, w. Fiftal, J. Stevens, w. Dyson.

fought for during the years since 1933 when MT. EccleS was, or ap- peared to be, on the other side of the fence.
 Among his praiSeworthy recom- mendations regarding our money and credit structure are these: CD We would be better protected against speculative inf1ationary de- velopments if the volume of idle funds already existing were curbed and prevented from increasing still more, and if our bank credit struc- ture were again brought within range of control.
 @ Congress should give the Re. serve authorities power to increase the reserve requirments of the com mercial banks in order to rduce the xcesS of reserves.
 (3) The depressing of interest rates through the accumulation of an abnormal excess of bank reserves is undesirable because it initiates the prices of government securities, af- fleets adversely insurance companies, savings banks, educational institu- tionS, and other finduciaries repre- senting the accumulation of millions of our people, and creates problems for the future when interest rates rise. Gle does not think interest rates in, 'he home and farm mort gage field are too low.)
 (4) The purchase of government securities by banks should be dis couraged since these purchases cre- ate new deposits. Instead, these Se- curities should be sold to private and non-banking institutional in- vestors.
 (5) The purchase of foreign sil- yer is unjustified from a monetary point of view.
 (6) Congress should cancel out the billion and a half of silver seigniorage which could be used for issurance of additional silver certi- cates.
 CD Congress should cancel the authority, granted by the so-called Thomas amendment, to issue bil- lion dollars of greenbacks.
 Those sections of the address, dealing with the budget, taxatoin, government spending, the national income, government deficits, and so on, while contaiig some excellent ob- servations, are sadly mutilated by confused thinking and unwarranted assumptions from which he should have graduated by this time. There is the common New Deal jargon about government spending being government investment. Then there is a remarkable confusion about how national income is increased and regarding cause and effect re- lationships.

MUSIC IN THE AIR
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

yr MUSIC IN THE AIR There's music in the air, The sound of jngling bells, Chimes and tinkling music boxes,
 How the harmony swells! Groups are singing carols
 On and off the key, Pageantry goes on apace
 Ever so joyfully.
 A small hand-organ plays tune,
 A toy piano tinlIles slightly flat, V A snare drum and trumpet On the toy floor go to bat. . There's music in the air, It drifts down the aisles of the store, Mellow tones from player organ, x Listen to the Christmas lore. It's jingle bells all the way,
 Bells both high and low, We look out the window expecting
 To see a lot of snow. There's music in the air.
 These are musical times, Every single place you go A, Are heard the merry chimes. sE@s
