Volume
Improves

Retail distribution advanced
about 5 per cent over the pre-
ceding week as shopping for
Easter gained momentum. accord
ing TO Dun e. Bradstreet. Inc. AS
is usual al this time of year, ap-
parel was the most active of the
consumer goods lines.
Comparisons with the CORE
spending 1910 week are practi-
cally impossible due to the differ
ence in the date of Easter. How
ever. some measure of the increas-
ing activity this year can be seen
from the fact that March sales
averaged better than 10 per cent
ahead of March. 1910, in spite of
tine fact THAT Easter Totals were
included IN the figures for March,
1910.
Wholesale distribution likewise
recorded a 5 per cent 10 10 per
cent gain over the previous week.
For March. sales were approx
mately Is per cent above those OF
the same month last year. Collec-
tons continue TO show improve
ment over those of a year ago.

Privsfe Saving Idea

Probably the most seriously
entertained theory OF the New
Deal economists, is the old idea
that private saving is bad. tThls
| has been at the bottom OF much
yof the criticism OF capitalism.
from Proudhon to Gesell and
KeynesD The argument is that
private saving leads to over
saving. which reduces demand.
and causes unemployment. Then
il is claimed that the govern
ment must intervene. either ID
10 check private saving, or 90
TO offset il by public spending
Thus one of these economists
Assumes $40 900 600 -4Qn annual
sum of savings He assumes
these savings 10 be only partly
offset by private spending of
$50. 600 100000 annually for CAPT
tai goods. residences. consumer
credit and net imports. This. he
assumes. leaves an offset" Of
$4,000. 00o. 900 a year 10 be sup
Piled by government spending.
which ne claims IS necessary to
prevent private oyer-Saving.
First, note that the residueS
and consumer credits are run
along with capital goods. This
seteup is based upon the idea
that there is no ESSENTIAL differ
ence between "a spending for
investment in capital goods and
~ spending for consumption.
II goes back 10 the fundamental
denial that the test Of exchange
value must govern production.

Stout Sees Age
Of Technical
knowledge

We are changing from an age
of opinion TO an age of technical
knowledge. William B. Stout.
noted inventor and president of
the Stout Skycraft Corporation
told $50 members of the Bond
Club OF Detroit at their silver
anniversary banquet in the Hotel
Statler last night.
To justify the metamorphosis,
Stout explained that when we Gre
ate new frontiers Of knowledge,
we add the value of what we Gre
ate TO our standard Of living.
Celebrating on his subject.
Aviation and World Progress, >,
Stout said that in 1918 the first
thick wing" with all supports
concealed was "a inches in
diameter. Today, a nine-inch wing
has three times the strength. he
added.
I'm this new era of speciali-
zation, no one man can design an
airplane," Stout said. "Why, no
one man can design an instru-
ment panel. II takes scores OF
men.
The cost of the instruments
for testing new propellers alone
would build several large apart
ment houses"
Stoutosaid that the entire worla
IS concentrating on technical de-
velopments.
They are working just a.
hard in Germany to solve the
problems OF supersonic speed
tspecd exceeding the speed of
sound) as they are to win the
Battle OF Britain" he said.
And, as matter OF fact, ii is
probably far more important to
the ultimate fate OF the world"

Private
Saving Theory
Of New Deal
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics. y. Y. Inisersii
Yesterday. l showed how the
economists whose theories are
used by the New Deal, hold that
work of any sort, regardless OF
revenue. is employment" and
that full employment" in this
sense should be attained by gov
eminent spending to. give money
incomes.
Let me say here that ii may
be that these economists, the
leading ones of whom are OF for
eign extraction, are entirely
cynical in their doctrines. They
may privately say that 1t makes
little difference what dumb
American citizens desire or do,
arguing that the only necessity
Is TO get them to doing some
thing, and feeding them. This.
they believe the governme.t
can do. Under their control, the
state can make work" OF some
sort for all, and create pur-
chasing power (debt) TO pay for
Il. incidentally, IL can thus buy
votes to keep its power and jobs
for its economists
But il may be that some OF
them are serious minded
idealistic reformers. and in any
case the spread of these inverted
economic IDEAS has 10 be COM
batted if we are to retain our
own ideals of individual liberty
and democracy.

Cutting Hours

NJ. Earl Heard, dean, Phila-

Confuses Public

Just TO, mix US, up and draw
red herring across their trail,
they keep talking abeat dHfa--
bic goods" instead OF capital
goods" They also try TO sell US
the idea that private investment
is really speculation. carried on
for gains in capital value, not
for income or interest you see.
they want to minimize interest,
or do away with it cntirely)
Again. this economist assumes
that the private investor who is
afraid TO invest because Of mon
etary uncertainty. the easy
money policy" heavy taxes, or
threats of government control.
Is an evil or dumb capitalist"
He blames capitalism" for the
hcsitancy or investors. even
when his own policies. which are
avowedly directed against pri-
vate investing. are the real cause
! Most of the so-called "idleness'
lof capital funds in recent
years is due to abnormal bust
ness uncertainty, largely the re-
suit of New Deal theories and
policies. III one doubts this, let
him ask ony one of the millions
of savers who have funds TO in
vest.
Next week / hope 10 complete
the series of articles on the
theories of the leading New Deal
economists. of which this is the

A Nebraska statute makes it
misdemeanor for a service sta
ton operator to reveal on his
sign how much a customer pays
in taxes on a gallon of gasoline.
This legalized effort TO pull
the wool over the eyes OF the
public underscores the extent to
which we have developed a
double standard OF morality in
the United States. 9
The federal government. for
example. sets up specific ac-
counting standards and requires
independent audits for private
corporations but does not follow
these good principles itself, nor
does it require all of the fed
orally owned corporations TO
do so.

for il anticipated government by
gangsters in overseas totalita-
rian nations.
Small wonder that Nebraska
wants the tax situation kept a
mandatory secret, for the burden
of federal and state taxes there
is equivalent to about so per
cent of the retail price Of gaso-
line. Hungry government has
been confiscating the full bene-
fits of improving technology.
which has through the years cut
the cost and the selling price of
this fuel.
Nationally, the price of gaso-
line, exclusive of the gasoline
tax. is down 81 per cent since
1920 and, 80 per cent since 1926.
However. according to the ma
tionai average. the tax on gaso-
line has gone up IS per cent
since 1928.

II. A. Magill. president, Amer
lean Federation of Investors:
Thank you for what you have
done I'm behalf of millions of
savers and investors. Executives
of big corporations should an
nounce to the world that at
least one of their primary pur-
poses is to promote the interests
OF their shareholders, who fur
nish the money that makes pos
sibIe the carrying on of their
enterprises and the employment
OF labor"
Mrs. Mary Gage Hyer:
Il observe you have mentioned
Women Investors In America
of which i am an active member.
You are right in all you say.
Investors have had no consider
alton, nor have they received
any sound, intelligent recogni-
ton. Women investors have been
very lax-either leaving every
thing to lawyers or trusts, and
while lawyers are good for law
they are usually poor on advice
to investors, and trusts are
sound and secure but they are
for long-term investments. The
average woman knows so little
about politics and about finance
that I am ashamed of my ex-
tremeIy dull sex"
