Boom Time Money
 Offsets Lure Of Circus Glamor

Boom days have taken their Coll ln the Big Top"
 The tour Of Connecticut by the Rlngllng Brothers-E -EsarnuEn and Bailey circus will probably cause more headaches for the man. agement, particularly the manager of personnel.
 The defense industry boom has played havoc with circus employ es. Young men who in other years jumped at the chance Co travel with the circus, praying the heat and the rains of the road, the ardu0us duties and long working day of the short circus season, now are scarce. Every time the circus plays an industrial town Q few workers vanish.
 With Connecticut industries hummlng along In the defense program there ls every reason to believe there will be assertions among the ranks all along the route, even as there have been to date.
 Local papers last night carried advertisements for young men who want to travel with the cIr- GUS. Good wages, regular meals, and \ chance to see the country are the Inducements. Applicants are asked to call at the circus grounds on show day.
 And it has been the same all along the line, 70 the advance agents tell the newspapers. They can't hold the young men this year and they must repienlsh dwlndilng forces every time . stop ls made for performances.
 Times have certainly changed since every growing boy had the desire and urge to run away with tho circus the day it came to town.

Re al Production

In order TO eVade this logical
difficulty. one leading govern
ment economist argues that
business produces goods only for
sale. and therefore buyers must
exist first. He appears TO think
that this statement warrants
vernme nt borrowing and
spending.
But. in the first place. buyer
must have the means of paying,
and in a business world most
buyers first have 10 earn that by
real production Nobody gives
them currency for unstable
work. In the second place,
business produces only goods
which we individuals desire and
are willing TO work for. Only the
making of such goods is called
production
The big point in the foregoing
analysis Is the fact that produc-
ton of wanted goods must exist
before there can-be any con-
sumption Along with this goes
the fact that money and money
income are meaningless apart
from goods and prices.

Another fundamental and
tested way in which to create

the proprietors would be TO
adopt the method of the North

Company, in which a selected
group of policyholders. aided by
an independent audit of the

Regional Meetings

Instead of avoiding policy
holder participation through
printing the rights of policy
holders in small type and in
highly legalistic language, man.

on this right, and induce their

they will help to create a public

Presents Main
Economic Aims
Of New Deal
BY LEWIS III. HANEY

Professor Of Economics, n. Y. University
Yesterday I analysed the phi
losophy underlying the current
New Deal economics. Today l
present some of the chief eco
nomic theories which now pre-
vail in Washington
Economic theory number one
is that labor is just "a way of
life" and that ii need not be
productive in the sense of maxi
ing things that people want and
are willing to pay for. Appar-
entity. il is reasoned that a man
must live, and that a living must
be given TO him regardless of
what he produces. Therefore.
if he happens to be classed as
'1aborer, he may be assigned
something ID do, and the money
given to him may be called
wages.
One corollary of this idea is
that labor may be motivated by
a desire to work for works
sake. Of not it must be CO.

News comes from Cincinnati,

workers, the first Of $4,000 10

the pay rolls for immediate pro-

eral manager of the plant, made
the announcement.
The plant will cover 50 acres
when completed and will COM
prise 2,120,000 square feet of
floor space.
The interesting part of the
announcement is that the first
contingent-or most of it-are
graduates of the company's Vo-
cational training program. They
are more than sufficient TO man
the new high production ma
chimes just installed and. accord
ing to Gordon, the six company

Against Reds

He went on TO say that such
workers have no sympathy
whatsoever with irresponsible
trouble-makers, some of whom
are regarded as out-and-out
Communists. bent not on obtain
ing better wages OF hours or
working conditions but solely on
melting bedevilment. There IS
no satisfying them. They don't
want TO be satisfied, he empha-
sized.
"They give law-abiding. con-
Scientious, honest American
workers a pain in the neck" he
added. ct has been shown only
too often that handful OF
rabble-rousers can start trouble,
sometimes throwing whole
plant out of gear.
II am beginning to think,
though, that the loyal workers,
who greatly outnumber the
others, are getting fed up and
that they will soon start putting
the Reds in their place, squelch-
ing them"

Since so much criticism, part

these days, il is comforting 10
know that William Green. presi-
dent of the American Federation
of Labor. came out squarely,
strongly. against strikes by any
AFL unions in plants entrusted
with preparedness production.
He exhorts his followers that
they must be prepared to ac-

gives the public the assurance
that all working men and

this further declaration by him:
THE right TO strike Is funda-
mental. The workers must al
ways be accorded the right to
give or withhold service. How
ever, the recognition of the
right to strike does not mean
that strikes should take place
during periods of national
emergency. This is particularly
true during these days when the
government is engaged In the
execution of a far-reaching de-
tense policy"
This column advised against
passage of legislation absolutely
forbidding strikes under any and
all circumstances. 1t still hopes
that events will not impell Con-
