Hazards Involved

Equities, or common stocks,
by nature always involve bust

pull. they seem 10 me to present
good deal better opportunities
than bonds or cash. l do not
believe we are headed toward
increased radicalism. But there
Is a possibility that they may be
little cheaper before long;
and eventually one must be pre-
pared for panic"
Insurance is m erely the

ties. either bonds or stocks.

edge and skill: urban real es-

Examines Argument

Let's examine the argument.
According to the theorists, the
total earning OF workers are
expanded during the boom
period.
Thus, apart from public reve-
nue. needs. il is urged that the
government deliberately steplize
part of this purchasing power
through taking possession Of II
in penalty taxes or in the sale of
defense bonds.
The second argument is that
penalty taxes should discourage
civilian purchase only of those
items which the army. the navy
and the marine corps and for
eign beneficiary governments
might be in need of.
This leads TO a plea for no
penalties against all other items,
the purchase Of which. II Is
argued, does not hinder the
armament program.
But. when this argument is
carried 10 its logical conclusion.
it oVerlooks the fact that, from
a short range viewpoint, ma
tional productivity has practical
limits. And defense require

Wage increases ranging from 5

The increases followed several
weeks negotiations between the

The company will continue its

The ChTysler statistical de-

that one and its findings are a

First on the list-it is based

These include machinists, me-
chanics. moulders, tool makers,
foremen. weavers, shoe workers

Second were the building and

Axis Disorder

Accordingly, IL does not make
sense for emotional hireling edi-
tors in Italy to berate the Swiss
for their lack of adhesion TO the
axis disorder.
II happens to serve the inter-
ests of the Axis to keep Swift
erland free. In such circum-
stances even from the Axis
viewpoint, it would be sense
less TO permit native "hotheadS"
10 seek TO destroy an independ-
eni Switzerland.
And. from the viewpoint Of
the outside democratic world,
the survival of the Swiss repub-
lie is a significant and hopeful
symbol.
Switzerland demonstrates 10
all the world that quality in A
nation is not necessarily depend
ent on size.
And the geography OF the ma
tion also illustrates the unqueS-
toned national defense value Of
the Alps, which constitute a
barrier 10 aggression.
Over here. there is an in
creasing disposition to achieve
nonrevenue detectives from the
tax system.
Before the emergency. a phi
losophy was developing TO use
taxes 10 redistribute wealth and
TO achieve other social reforms.
Now there is a school OF

sumption of selected items
which the armed forces Of the
United States might need.
In taking this view. the theo-
ristS argue conversely that there
is no use in putting penalty taxes
on soft drinks. amusements. sur
plus foodstuffs, and other items
which are not needed directly in
expanded national defense or in
aid to Great Britain and the
other democracies.
The argument is attractive.
and. though not without some
merit. can readily be overdone.

BY LEWIS HANEY

A New York reader asks:

ton can be controlled In this
country: 1 understand that 1t
has been in England and Ger

upon what you mean by "infla-
ton" and control If you
mean by initiation condition OF
rising prices. and if you mean
by control a complete preven-
ton of rising prices. i would
say. no. ! believe that possibly
all initiation could be prevented,
but / do not believe that 1t
would be desirable to do so. and
l do not believe that we Will.
II you mean by control

Recent attacks in the Italian
press on Switzerland for not
embracing the new order
show a lack or grasp of the
realities in Europe.
For, if a free and independ-
ent Switzerland did not exist, il
would behoove the Fascist ag-
gressors TO invent one for their
own convenience.
Switzerland is used as a clear
ing house for collecting pay
m-nts due to citizens in the
Axis countries. Swiss banks and
companies are sometimes prox-
les for Axis clients. and as a
result of the continuance of an
independent Swiss republic the
barriers erected against the Axis
aggressors are sometimes Cir
cumVented.

Different Economy

Our economy and government

engage in war, believe the only
way 10 prevent initiation here
would be either % to have a

ness. or (2D to keep business de-
pressed by continued defiatlonary

In the event of our going into
war as a combatant. ! think that
the desire TO stimulate produc-
ton and to "Sweeten' public
sentiment would tend TO INDUCE
the government TO allow further
initiation in prices.

to greener pastures.

w S1CC1ICI pdotuI CO.
Mutt, last of legion of mules that
! once toWed bargeS along the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Canal, passed on to
greener pastures yesterday. Death
came to the 41-year-old veteran of
the towpaths in her stable near
Chain Bridge, ending a canal career
of 38 years.
Mutt was three years old when she
toWed her first barge from Cumber-
land, Md, to Georgetown in 1908.
During the canals palmy days, she
frequently propelled 1OO-ton cargoes
through its locks and levels. When
flood waters left the canal unfit for
commerce in 1924, Mutt swapped her
stall in the head house of the canal
boat for quarters ashore.
In recent years Mutt was given the
task of towing a work barge, carry
ing men and materials to repair
breaks in the canal banks between
the Little Falls feeder and the
Georgetown mills. This was pretty
serious come-down for a mule that
once had been harnessed to such
proud canal boats as the Shirley"
and the Great Cacapon."
Unlike her landlubber cousins,
however, Mutt never yielded to the
automobile. Disdainful of mech
anized progress, she spent her
leisure hours roaming at will along
the toWpath and river bed near
