BUFFALO. June 4.--The Co

ing received on this order and
there will be no curtailment of

During 1910, Colonial produced
approximately $4,000 radio sets.
A 30 per cent output cut would
mean a 1871 output of approx

has been practically no curtail-

Represents Tools

But the repcrcuSSionS went
much further. So-callcd capital
represents the tools of produce
ton which accelerate the capac-
ity TO produce. and hence TO
earn wages, Of all gainfully en-
ployed persons. And on the con-
Stunning side, 30,000,000 Ameri-
can families, whose living stand
ards are at stake have a vital
interest in steadily improving
technology.
Thus the emotional orgy de-
signed. 10 soak the rich had
effects far afield from those
intended.
But in 1910. with the new
recognition, incidental 10 height

ductiVe power determines the
strength of nation, there was
reversal of the adverse trend in

conference board computes that

100000 was invested in Ameri-
can manufacturing enterprises,
the largest annual increase since
1925, raising the total capital
invested in manufacturing plants
10 almost S51 500 100000. But
the significant point in connec-

,Blitz.

Most notable Of all. however,
was the blitZ action concerning
the oil industry, In thc-ffrst
World War, this industry sue
-eeeded in escaping direct govern
ment control and price fixing.
It was co-ordinated by an adj
ministrator Of its own choosing.
This time. however, II seems that
il is to have more drastic treat
ment and the redoubtable MIR.
Ickes is to have general charge
as petroleum administrator.
That oil securities should have
lost Senne of their previous
strength is not surprising.
The hesitation observed in
some direction, insofar as il is
not due 10 strikes, is clearly the
result of such action. The cot
ton textile industry has been
somewhat affected by the yarn
price ceiling In good many
cases, manufacturers are uncer-
tain as to what their raw ma
terial costs are 10 be and the
interference with future markets
increases the difficultyof 'hedg-
ing their position.
Difficulties in getting sup
plies of skilled labor and such
materials as metals are growing.

Alternate Methods

AS usual in adversely, there is
one bright spot in the future

Whatever is saved on the ma

by the need of machinery and

New tools and the cost Of ma

And another danger in the
use of the substitute materials,
besides rising costs. * the
scarcity Of tool materials and

weight. but will be just as eff
cient, the engineers claim. In
fact, the iron cylinder head is
said TO be better than the

fatigue factor, they state.
Some of the weight will be
overcome by the use of plastics
for metals, as for instance in The
instrument panels. But so far
the use of plastics for metals is
limited and Will not make up the
weight differences.

Oil Big Thing

Oil is a hig thing. of course
Also, we are in the center Of
the greatest gas uplift in the
world according 10 biologists.
Many known gas fields have not
yet been tapped, and there Is
much reserve oil
The higher prices for oil are
bringing renewed activity
Take agriculture. Outsiders
think of our area as cotton.
True We have the finest cotton
land in the Notwithstanding
the Nile valiey-iH Egypt-and
produce more cotton per acre
than any area in the world But
that is only one phase OF our
agriculture. just as oil is only
enc phase Of our industry and
business. Louisiana now plants
moro acres in corn than any
other crop, including cotton and
sugar
During the past 10 years, 49,
900 registered bulls have been
brought into the state to boost
a new and thriving cattle indus
try. We will be as famous for
cattle some day soon as we are
for cotton and oil
Our gains are not just numer-
zeal gains They embrace quail
ity. We farm better, grow better
livestock and grow our stock
under better methods. We've de-
creased our cotton acreage &c
per cent in the past 10 years
and increased our cotton pro-
duction 46 per cent Most cotton
from the Shreveport area now
commands a premium.

The economic shame Of the
thirties in the United States was
the deterioration of industrial
tools on which we all rely for
more and better goods.
This deleteriouS shrinkage was
rationalized by a muddleheaded
theoretical attack on capital.
The fallacy lay in The. implica-
tion that only the bloared capi-
talist suffered from the adverse
trend. There was a tendency 10
overlook the 65.000,000 life in
surance policyholders. upwards
of 45,000,000 savings depositors,
and the more than 100000
stockholders who are also capi-
taliSts.

Federal Policy

Accordingly. il is government
policy 10 encourage industrial
investment either through gov
eminent direct loans or through
special privileges. such as the
five-year accelerated deprecia-
ton of war plants.
Thus, under the lash of ne
cessity the slur on capital is
abating.
The change would be even
more encouraging if emergency
war time necessities were not
of necessity diverting capital
into unproductive channels.
