Better Business Will Boost Incomes

The American Federation of Labor believes it has found
Z way to solve the unemployment problem.
It's very simple, the A. F. of L. it. All that
needs to be done to boost the national income 10 billion
dollars from the 70bon dollar mark ii struck last
This according to the A. f. of LIS monthly business
vey would involve general increase of six cent
If this DONE the report the result would be
general Is per expansion in sales for all types of
products with the result that all industries would be able
to put more men to work When the circle finally
pleted it is reasoned 100000 obless persons could be
placed The A. F. of L. estimates there 10000,
600 unemployed.
The picture is painted in further detail like this The
income received by the workers would total $373O
100000. Workers employed would get $2510000OOo
more year. and additional So S0o000000 would be
Forthcoming in raises all other incomes The total would
add up to slightly than 10 billion dollars
But would this provide the right answer? Industrial
economy is complex structure. Wages supposedly
based on business conditions When business becomes bet
and shows signs Of remaining better for longer than
Just month two be raised To raise arbi
trary without justification other than the nebuous hope
better times would be extremely hazardous
economic adventure
Granting that 100000 could be given jobs what
would happen to the remaining 1900 900 who would still
be unemployed?
Industry will pick up quickly as it can absorb
them Everything depends how many orders forth
coming. Our problem still is to figure out waynot Of
removing only small group Of from the I'M
empoyed-but rather of finding nonreef job for
man able and willing TO accept it.

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

proves more reliable than Mr..
Johnson.
Though I haven't tried to hire
electricians or plumbers direct
from the union hall, 1 know from
personal experience that plas-
terers and many other kinds Of
building workers can be hired
this way and the sub-contractor's
cut can be saved thereby.
AS the health and lives of the
whole community are jeopardized
by defective plumbing and wir-
ing, some assurance should be
given that a builder is reliable
and competent TO supervise these
lines of work before being per-
mitted to do so.
Apparently II. G. Kaman mis-
understood some statement made
in a previous letter. l pointed
out that 20 per cent reduction
in building tradesmens wages
would cut the cost of a $4,000
home only by about $3.50, where
as a 20 per cent reduction in
interest and carrying charges
would cut the cost by nearly
$500.
made no suggestion TO any
specific amount that would be
saved by eliminating the sub
contractors. l merely pointed
out. as one step TO lessening
costs, that better organization
and method in the building in
dustry would eliminate the ex-
pense entailed in the mainten-
ance of so many sub-contractors
and their equipment. The amount
saved would vary according to
the efficiency OF the kind of
supervisory methods substituted
for them. BERT RUSSELL,
Box 1918.

Reps. Tarver OF Georgia and
Engel Of Michigan raised the
question while National Youth
Administrator Aubrey Williams
was arguing on behalf of the
$500 needed for the trip. They
explained that they did not
want to do an injustice 10 the
distinguished conductor Of the
Philadelphia symphony Orch
estra. but they had read news
paper stories Of his dallying on
the Riviera while the glamorous
Hollywood actress was there.
Mr.. Taber Of New York then
mentioned Mr.. Stokowski's mem
bership in the Civil Liberties
Union. and recalled that he had
played the red anthem" over
American Legion protests.
The committee sent TO the
congressional library for news
papers describing the Riviera
episode, but could not decide
whether, to use their own words,
he was an unfit person" to d.
rect youngsters aboard ship. So
they assigned Mr.. Taryer the
task of quizzing the maestro.
The Georgian ducked the job,
and the committee instructed
Williams to submit the embar-
RAISING question to Mr.. Stokow-
ski by letter. The latter's almost
musical explanation satisfied the
honorable gentleman. and the
affair ended on a sympathetic
note.
John Nance Gamers Wiscon-
sin campaigners have adopted
tactics which transform the
April 2 primary there from an
ordinary contest between the
president and vice president into
a third-term showdown. So de-
termined are the Garnerites to
block F. D. r. that they have
enlisted Republicans in the ef-
fort.
The fact that Vandenberg and
Dewey forces are engaged in a
sharp struggle in the same prim-
airy gives the Garnerites their
opportunity. The V. P's friends
are trying to persuade conserva-
tive Republicans that the out
come of the Vandenberg Dewey
battle is Of no Importance COM
pared with the attempt to dis
credit the third-term movement.
Therefore, according to the
Garner factions argument, these
G. o. Peers should enter the
democratic primary. and vote for

vote in a democratic primary in

HOROSCOPE
SUNDAY, MARCH "a

Benefic aspects dominate in
today's Horoscope. The config-
uration is favorable to the dis
cussion of religious or philo-
sophical subjects. Interest in
occultism and various cults will
extend widely. Women will be
especially inclined to accept
strange ideas.
Heart and Home: This is
lucky day for correspondence.
Love letters are under happy
direction. Logic guides emo
tons, enabling wise choice Of
suitors on the part OF girls who
are popular, This is fortunate
day for entertaining persons
whose friendship means more
than mere social diversion.
Domestic harmony is presaged.
Women will be inclined to CO.
operate in household budget
limitations.
National Issues: The import
ance 81 electing highly educated
and thoroughly experienced men
TO legislative bodies will be
recognized in the coming ma
tional campaign. Interest in
public service as career will
be stimulated by evidence that
grave mistakes are prevalent in
the handling of industrial. ag-
iicultural and financial prob
lens in the United States. Pub
lie office as political reward
for campaign activity will be
unpopular among voters of hon.
est convictions.
Persons whose birthdste ii is

extraordinary events. Unex-
peeted good fortune is forecast
for both men and women.

will suffer a fatal setback If
the Texan musters 40 or as per
cent OF the total vote. They
believe that such an outpouring
for the V. p. would demonstrate
to the politicos that a third-term
campaign would insure the
party's loss Of the White House.
corden Hun is casting snx-
ious glances toward Mexico as
result Of fresh reports that
another revolution there may
explode under the good neigh
Dor" policy. Such warnings have
frequently failed to materislize
in the past-that makes him
hopeful-but it may be the
Mexican Mccoy this time.
The Mexicans are preparing
for a presidential election, and
such a period is always a time
of tension. Both candidates to
succeed Cardenas are military
men with strong army backing
Generals Manuel Ayila Cam
acho and Juan Andrea Almazan.
II either suspects that something
is being put over on him, he is
likely to make trouble. For vari-
Gus reasons labor is restless and
dissatisfied. The war has stop
ped all oil exports to Germany
and tossed people out of work.
The recently nationalized rail-
roads are in a bad state, fl
nancially, and that may mean
the discharge Of more men. The
agrarian system - division of
lands-has produced shortages
of major crops. The cost of
living is rising, especially in the
provinces, and the wage scale
is dropping.
General Camacho is regarded
as more conservative than AL
mazan. He has promised TO try
to make the recent reforms
work. Though not leftist, Cen
eral Almazan is held to be more
liberal. Whether the Mexican
people will await a settlement
at the polls or become violent
should be decided within the
next so days.
The families of three distin-
guished democrats = President
Roosevelt, Secretary Hull, Ma
tional Chairman Farley are
begging them not to seek the
presidential nomination. F. d.
RS mother and wife are Bit
terly opposed to the idea. Mrs.
Hull insists that she doesn't
want her husband to undergo
the strain of the campaign or
the office. But the most in
sistent against moving into the
White House are Jim's wife and
his 13-year-old daughter, Ann.

The restrictions political activity imposed govern

AT least seven persons must
n be reading this column. The
day the first installment of the
Egyptian movie story appeared
the telephone began ringing at
dinnertime. First was a criti-
cal comment on the reference to
Moses as a Jew. A little later
there was a facetious, Now we
know where Moses was when
the lights went out-he was at
a movie"
Then more comments about
calling Moses a jew. One
friendly chap concluded with
this: ut isn't surprising that
mere newspaper man should
call Moses jew; many
preachers make the same
mistake"
1t was comforting to know
that even the preachers make
mistakes. A little later, after
appealing 10 the encyclopedia,
there was a degree of SNUG sat
isfaction over the discovery that
even some OF the anthropologi-
cal sharks did not seem TO be in
complete accord on the subject.

WHY NOT SEND MEN HOME
FROM BATTLEFIELDSe

Editor, The Times: Our worthy
county assessor, Fred A. Smith.
in an interesting contribution to
the local press, declares that the
warning nations of Europe would
not dare to Immediately return
to their native heaths the mill
lions OF men now at their re-
spective war fronts.
The statement Is unusually
arresting, and the honorable
Frederick is undoubtedly correct.
But the statement is not un-
like those of the critics of the
present federal administration
to which one is bound TO reply,
"Well, what about 1t; what
would you do IL you could"
How helpful II would have
been II Smith had even pointed
out the reason or reasons why
their respective countries would
not dare to call home all at once
all of the millions Of their
soldiers now at the war fronts
in Europe. It does not require
unusual perspicacity 10 under
stand that they would not dare
to do so. But what conditions
exist that would seem to justify
this fear?
Putting aside for the moment
the hideous immortality and evil
OF being engaged in the profess
sion and performance of whole
sale murder called military war,
and regarding the matter from
the economic standpoint alone,
how does it happen that 1t is
safer and better, apparently,
that these millions Of warriors
be kept in the mud holes and
trenches at the front, in de-
structive and costly idleness,
rather than for them TO return
home and go to producing their
own living requirements at
least7
Or, IL they could not proceed
TO the supplying Of their own
needs II they went home, why is
that and how does 1t come
about II is an obvious eco
nomic absurdity. What excludes
them from any opportunities
where their labors might be ap-
piled and where they might be-
come at least self-supporting ,
Capitalism which is supposed
TO gather tribute from produc-
tive labor. cannot certainly be
standing In the way Of their
working productivity. II capital
ever collects unjust tribute it
would Of necessity have to come
from those who are producing
something TO collect from.
There is an answer to all this.
Of course. Why not find It and
have neither fears nor fsVors
about applying it,
