Debonoir Captain Mocheoth Of
Goy's "Beeeor's Opera" wos torn be-
tween two loves-o sort OF Siomese-
twin passion for Polly Peochum and
Lucy Lockit. Thus bedeviIed, the cop
toin sinqs the fomiIior rueful refrain:
"How happy could be with either.
"Were t'other dear chorner away"
The United Stotes is getting into
q sonewhot similar predicoment. We
love Polly England, but we olso love
Lucy Lotin-Americo. And Polly is now
suggesting thot we do some things that
we've promised Lucy not to do.
More plainly: 1t has been suggest
ed that under the proposed lend-leose
plan, the United Stotes might open its
ports for repair and refitting OF British
worships. Unofficial suggestions hove
oIso come from Britoin that the British
would like to establish q controbond
control base at Trinidad, and olso to
DENY American port facilities to oil
neutral ships "bIocklisted" by the Brit
ish as carrying on trode unfovoroble to
the British cause.
The difficulty is here: The United
Stotes would not seem to be free to do
those things. There are carefully cult.
voted relationships with Central and
South America to be considered. And in
furtheronce Of those relationships. the
United Stotes is party to certain o9ree-
ments.

Stotes would not seem to be free to DO

in furtheronce Of those relationships,
the United Stotes is party to certain
agreements.
At the Panama lnter-Americon
Conference in October, 1889, certoin
agreements were reached by the q
American nations, aimed at keeping
war away from the Americas.
These stoted fIotIy that the Aneri-
can stotes would prevent their respec-
tive Terrestrial, maritime, and aerial
territories from being utilized as bases
Of beIieerent operations. Thot beI!ie-
erent worships "shoII not be allowed to
remain in their own ports or voters for
more than "a hours" Thot they shall
require all beIligerent vessels and dir
croft seeking the hospitality OF areas
under their Jurisdiction and control to
respect strictly their neutral stotus."
And, bosicoIIy, that "the American Re-
pubIics, as long as they mointoin neu-
troity, have the indisputobIe right to
preserve free from all hostile octs on
the port of any non-Americon belliger-
ent nation those waters adjacent to the
American continent which they consid-
er of primordioI interest and Of direct
utility for their relations"
These principles we have agreed to
Jointly with the other American no
lions. We can scarcely abandon any OF
them, in letter or in spirit, Of our own
accord and without agreement with
them, without jeoPordizine the good
will we have been SO Ioboriously build

Controbond inspection in American
waters and on inter-Americon trode
routes, opening Of ports to beIIi9erent
war vessels, ocquiescence in British

How hoppy we could be with either,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

It appears, then. that civilians
will have to be rationed. In Europe
they do 1t by requiring them to
have cards in order to buy stuff.
Icons scheme is, rather, to limit
supplies Of raw materials, so that
retailers simply won't have the
processed goods that customers ask
for. Yes, but II that happens, the
customers will compete with one
another, thus hiking prices and
then we have-infation.
The only possible remedy for
that, it's argued, is to take so much
Of the customers money away
from them that they won't have
enough left to compete excessively.
Do 1t how? Why, by taxing them
like sixty. Generally speaking, the
government collects taxes for rev.
enue. Leon, however, cares les.
about revenue than he does about
preventing a fury Of civilian-bu
ing competition-as previously re-
marked, imitation.

QUICK HOUSING

The little house, costing about

Dor Is being introduced as a solu'
ton TO the nations defense housing
problem. II is a pre-tabricated
structure invented by William B.
Stout. pioneer airplane designer
and represents two years OF effort.
The walls are Of two half-inch
layers Of insulating board with a
half.inch space between them and
each wall is a separate unit, as Is
the roof. The hardwood floor
makes up two units, hinged to-
gether in the center.
BY the use Of curtains, the one
15 by Is foot room can be on
verted into two bedrooms, a kitch'
en- and dining alcove.
The little structures. which are
about the size OF a good camping
tent, will not be for sale privately
for individuals. They will be sold
chiefly in defense areas.
The building comes furnished
With venetian blinds for FIVE win
dows and with two daybeds. but as
compared with houses being built
here in Y~psilanti it doesn't sound
like much of a bargain. The garage
type OF house will continue in popu.
larity because II affords unlimited
possibilities for expansion. The
garage house can either be con
verted into a garage when a larger
house is built or It can be enlarged

struction the prevailing type Of

eether. And every competent
economist knows that night fol-
lows day no more regularly than a
slump follows a skyhoot. All his
tory's proved it with 100 per cent
accuracy.
That's why National Price Ad-
ministrator Leon Henderson, who's
a slick economist alright, is scrab-
bling so desperately to keep the
brakes on imitation, as a develop
ment in connection with our de-
tense emergency activities. He's
afraid Of It, as imitation; but he's
still more afraid Of it as an abso-
lutely certain precursor OF a yet
more horrifying period OF dehation.
It's surprising how many sup
posedly astute hnanciers seem un-
aware Of the Lnvariability Of this
sequence.
Remember the Investigation, con-
Quoted by a senate committee, into
the causes OF our last prolonged
depression! Among the witnesses
were ]. P. Morgan and all his
satellites. Ferdinand Pecora cross
examined them. One and all, those
alleged wiseacres testified that,
while they'd recognized the initial
crash as a mean panic, they'd no
idea that we'd be so slow in re-
covering from the effects OF IL
Crash Follows War
Why. I. with no more financial
than a %jackrabbit, had antici-
pated it. The only thing that had
me stumped was that the smashup,
after World War No. l, was de-
layed as long as 1t was. 1t isn't in
nature for a val like that not to be
followed, sooner or later, by a lot
Of economic distress. The late
Andrew Mellon had predicted 1t to
me also.
In early Hooverian days, when
he was treasury secretary, I got
an Interview with Mellon on some
subject or other. AS I was about to
leave, he said, "Wait a minute. II
you want to- quote me, you might
do it to the effect that 1-consider
this a good time to buy bonds.
Stocks are so high nov that bonds
are better bargains than stocks
are"
It wasn't until after the boom
busted that I tumbled TO what he
was trying to tell me covertly-
not so much to buy bonds as TO un-
load, at fancy figures, stocks in
companies that were due to pop
presently. He couldn't very well
say it outspokenly. I didn't have
any to unload, so it didn't matter.
And I recall the panic of 1898.
There'd been a boom. It exploded.
Immediately all Jul leading hnan-
ciers began b~roadcasting, Don't
worry. The country's fundamental
~ sound. This'u be Of short dura-
tion." The ensuing depression
lasted for years. Right after the
Hooverian crash, there was q
chorus Of, The country's funda-
mentally sound" The minute I
heard that, I knew we were In for
a heck Of a session.
The trouble with these booms is,
they're iniationary, which is pre-
liminary TO deiation.
Leon Henderson's trying TO head
'em both elimination in the first
place. It's a terrible headache to
him. He admits it-admits that
thereu be somewhat higher prices,
but he'll bear down on them for all
he's worth.
Armaments No Asset
Leon appreciates that the arna-
nent stuff we're producing, for
ourselves and the actually embat-
tied democracies hasn't any value
in an economic sense. A gun may
be virtually necessary to defend
yourself with. but it's no asset
