ScCfelhTs Eu Nopic ana oTtikn
Commerce Director James w.
Young. the department of COM
merce has inaugurated a new
service which should prove to
be a remarkable aid to Ameri-
can business and industry. II
is designed to present monthly a
factual picture OF past. present
and future economic prospects.
Key American corporations
have been asked to supply data
on their new orders. untitled
orders, their sales and inven-
tories. In this way it is hoped
that the government will have
at all times an inventory of the
economic situation, perhaps be
able to foresee and warn Of
booms and depressions. and
thereby enable industry to pre-
pare for them. Economist M.
Joseph Meehan, who has charge
Of the survey, has already as
sembled tremendously import
ant data. But he will not be
ready to release these monthly
tabulations for some time yet.
He plans to test and weigh them
for several months, and to be
sure that these monthly eco
nomic photographs are scien-
tifically accurate.
Although still in the prelim-
mary and testing stage, the re-
ports indicate a slackening OF
new orders. cancellation of bill
ings based on an expected war
demand. and a general economic
letdown. They check almost
automatically with other re-
ports that the December produce
ton figure of 12s will sag to
about ITO by April.
The war psychology gradually
encircling certain sections of the
country-and the government
has cast a deep cloud over oper-
atoms and enlistments in the
Civilian Conservation Corps.
While depreciating suggestions
for militarization of this agency,
headquarters officials here con-
cede that such proposals have
handicapped them.

LIBERTY ENDANGERED BY
witch HUNTING"

witch HUNTING"
Editor, The Times: On the
front pabe of the issue of Feb.
sth, The Times is featurin a pic
ture of one Earl Browder, speak
ing under a spotlight, and the
piceure is dramatically called
Exit" With all due credit o
the mind that has construed
this beautifully done piece of
propaganda. let us look at the
other side of the picture.
Earl Browder, secretary of
the socailed Communist party
OF the U.S.A. has been convict
ed of passport fraud, allegedly
committed some 20 years ago.
A crime over which no depart
ment of government has been
concerned for all this time, is
now raked TO surface and man
is sentenced to prison. Along
with the attempt at deporting
Harry Bridges for alleged men,
bership in the Communist party,
the trial of Earl Browder reeks
strongly of witch hunting and
open attack against all those
VINO would express their opin-
ions. though they are not the
opinion of the many.
1t must serve as warning
for all those who value liberty
and the freedom of speech and
thought. Coming at the time of
the jesuitic Dies Inquisition,"
the trials of Bridges and Brow
der are the trials of every lib
enty loving American.
This writer does not condone
nor support the type of dicta-
torship advocated by the Com
munist party, through their or
ders from Moscow. But IL we
are to have democracy. II there
is even to be a sham observ-
snce of the bill of rights, then
freedom of speech must be per-
mitted to the extent that even
those with whom we do not
agree have a chance to speak.
Permit the Communist party
to be driven underground. and
ere long letters and expression
such as this will no longer be
permitted in our press and what
we now speak about openly in
public halls We snail then mum
BILE in our soup. Permit the
liquidation of the Communist
party. such as advocated by that
most unamerican American
Mr.. Dies. and soon all those who
dare express an idea not that
of the Liberty League or the
Associated Farmers, will also be
liquidated.
Recently I found the follow
ing quotation in a current pub
LEGATION: "Imprison an idea and
il will explode. Release il, and
il il is good. il will survive; II
evil. the light win destroy it."
The causes ana ideas underly-
ing the Communist party are
not to be eliminated by simple

so simple to write Exit" to

do so TO human beings. In fact,
the opposite viii be accomplish
ed. Out OF a cheap politician,

the oppressed. and red fascisra
viii find more followers than
ever.
Browder and his hike are not
the enemies within our borders.
These enemies are hunger, mis-
cry and poverty for the major

Henry NJ n n U must
have been fooling the reporters
when he congratulated himself
that prices on goods bought by
this and foreign governments
had been kept close to peace
time levels. As exclusively re-
yealed here, the army-navy ne
gotiators insisted that they be
given 1899 prices on material
purchased or optioned for two
years ahead. The Walsh-Healy
act governing federal contracts
specifies the wages to be paid
and the hours an employee may
work. also the overtime pay he
must receive. Various laws af-
fecting army and navy contracts
provide that profits shall not
exceed 10 per cent. These pro-
visions. obviously, affect a much
larger portion of American in
dustry than those plants actual
ly engaged in war manufac-
Observation-Disclosures, suppliers
of accessories, raw materials,
etc.
And the government has a
non-legal weapon it can invoke
IL the manufacturers refuse to
behave. Washington can with
hold both domestic or foreign
contracts at will, since Morgen-
THAI acts as purchasing agent
both for this and foreign gov
ernments. What worries in
dustry is the realization that if
these controls can be applied
now, when the United States is
presumably at peace, far more
burdensome regulations will be
applied if we should enter the
conflict.
Fanciful conjectures picture
F. D. r. as winning a major
victory over Jim Farley and
Jack Garner in the selection of
Chicago as the convention site.
II is true that the president
favored this New Deal center,
whereas Farley probably pre-
ferred Philadelphia and the vice
president would have liked to
see Houston's $780, 900 bid-Chi-
cago offered only $150,000 -
accepted. The fact is that Ma
tional Chairman Farley, with
IL proxies in his pocket, could
have sent the convention to the
"City of Brotherly Love" But
he saw no reason for combating
F. D. r. on this minor issue.
Moreover, the Democrats pre-
ferred Chicago because they con-
cede themselves scant chance OF
carrying the Keystone state,
and regard the middle west as
their battle-ground.
The Houston offer was gen.
orally regarded as a "phoney."
The man who put up the money
knew in advance that the party
would not assemble in the vice
presidents state, but went ahead
with their offer to please certain
local business men. So 1t was
no defeat for Jim or Jack. And
smart politicos realize that hold
ing a summer convention in a
certain state furnishes no guar
antee of carrying that state in
November.

Your HEALTH

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Unless we plan our meals and
choose intelligently from among
the wide varieties of foods now
available, we cannot get an
adequate diet, no matter how
much we eat or spend. The
amount of money spent on food
is important because a purse
that is too lean simply cannot
buy the essential foods.
During the long period Of the
depression, many surveys were
made to learn the food habits Of
the nation. A study made in
1885 showed that one out of rs
families. not on relief. at less
than five cents worth of food
per person for each meal. Few
families in our country regular

able to disregard economy in

Such vegetables as potatoes,
sweet potatoes, beans and peas
provide calories necessary for
energy. Potatoes are important
as a source also OF vitamin 81,
and iron. The sweet potato con-
tains more vitamin A than do
many other vegetables. Beans
and peas are important as a
source of the essential vitamin

and iron.
Oranges, lemons. grapefruit
and tomatoes are important as
sources of vitamin c. but also
because they contain important
minerals. Fruits help the appe-
tite, enrich the alkali reserve
of the body. and help to estab-
lish regular intestinal activity.
