ECONOMIC MONsTROsITY

Construction of the st. Lawrence
seaway would dislocate and dis.
organize American business on q
wide front. That is the gist of an
important statement recently is
sued by the West Virginia Cham
ber of Commerce.
From the earliest days of this
country's Industrial development
the Chamber explains, the ever-in-
creasing flow of traffic from the
Great Lakes region to the Atlantic
Seaboard has followed the pattern
fixed in the most economic devel-
opment of the most populous and
industrially important section OF
the United States. 1t then says:
"The Great Lakes-Atlantic Coast
railroad system Is the life
line of a closely related and far
flung economy. This tfahsporta-
ton system is magnificently ade-
Quate, and it is not an unimportant
factor that central Canada's i'm
mense shipments of grain and
other products which now help
support it would be irrevocably
lost if the st. Lawrence waterway
should be constructed" The es-
sence of the proposal, 1t adds, is
that 1--WE shall not provide tax
su sidized substitute for this great
network of railroads and high
ways, thereby dealing a mortal
blow not only to the transportation
system but to the economy which
has grown around it"
There is no lack of adequate and
cheap transport in the st. Law
renee region-even as there is no
lack of electric power. In essence,
the st. Lawrence proposal amounts
to spending hundreds Of millions of
the taxpayers money to create tax
free, tax-subsidized transport and
power services which are already
provided by privately-financed,
heavily-taxed, publiely-regulated
private industry. At this time,
when the full effort of private en-
terprise in all its branches is
needed to complete the defense
program, and whe nevery dollar of
government money must be ap-
piled to necessary purposes, the
st. Lawrence plan is best describ-
ed as an economic monstrosity.

closed a clipping from a German
journal that listed a timetable for
conquest. According to the table,
England was listed for final subju-
cation in July, 1910, and just how
near the "Boche" came to realizing
this ambition Is a matter Of record,

COSTS LESS TO FLY
THAN TO DRIVE

People who fly their own planes
are not extravagant. In fact they
are travelling for less money than
it costs them to drive their automo-
biles, according to actual cost rec
ords, states William A. Mara, Sales
Manager Of Stinson Aircraft, Di-
vision of Vultee Aircraft, Inc.
I'm spite Of the general belief
on the part of the public that 1t
costs a great deal in the way of
power and fuel to operate a plane,
the contrary is the case" states
Mara. ION an actual comparative
trip made. both by air and automo-
bile from Detroit to Dallas, Texas,
then to Los Angeles, Seattle, Dem
yer, returning to Dallas and then
to Detroit, 1t costs $50 less to op-
crate the airplane.
"One of the factors in the great
difference was the fact that the dis
tance by air was 1880 miles where
as by automobile 1t was $3.50 miles.
However, even with this differen-
tial the airplane did better on miles
per gallon than the automobile.
"The flight was made with a
Stinson Voyager which used $93.72
worth of gasoline and s4.56 worth of
oil for a total of $9S.28 on the trip.

have been employed for many years
to make careful studies OF economic
affairs and ''fix those that are def.
nitely running out of line" The
quotation is borrowed from state
ment by one of the new crusaders
engaged in trading-Off old ways for
new experiments.
There have been many cases in
recent years when the Government
secured indictments, and prosecut-
ed business and professional groups
who were charged with violating
the antitrust laws. These laws
were made to be used in a proper
way to protect the whole public.
Public officers whose enthusiasm
turned out to be more political
than reasonable brought severe
criticism down on themselves when
their attacks on basic principles of
democracy were turned down by
the Courts.
There seems to be a disposition
to ignore General Sherman's YER
dict that war. is hell" In any
event the only way to get out of hot
places is to try to keep a cool head,
and think sensibly.
There are plenty Of laws, and
plenty of prosecutors, who have
unlimited powers and authority to
regulate and right wrongs, and pro-
tect the people in war days inst as
effectively as In times of peace. We
cannot very we'll trade in these
old remedies for experimental jit-
ter-bugs. In a recent press con-
ference Administrator Henderson
of Prices and Supplies, explained
his intentions to rely on economic
rather than on legal sanction" He
is expecting a good deal when he
proposes to discard the legal
system. We all know that the law
has always been accepted by our
democracy, while sanctions" are
still doubtful substitutes. Hender-
son has already announced that pa
per, textiles, steel, coal, rugs, chem
icals, nonferrous metals, building
supplies, machinery and equip
ment and leather and hides are at
the top of his list for first atten-
tion."
The Washington Post carried
first column article by a stait wrl-
ter few days ago reporting Mr..
testimony before the
House Ways and Means Committee,
when he specifically classed autos
as heavy competitors to defense
productive facilities and
skills necessary for defense produc-
tion." Most of the responsible
heads of the Government, including
National Defense officials appear to
have very little confidence in this
sort of stuff. But that doesn't stop
Henderson from proposing that
prices be held close to present lev
els to prevent or scare away ''in-
Iiation." Increased wages and high
er taxes do not appear to be in
GUIDED in his calculations. Refer
ences to Imitation" are discussed
N Washington every day, and the
alibis are already sky-high that
would lay imitation onto private
business, private banking and pri-
rate citizens.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Henderson is a walking panic
either marrow-frozen or running 3
death-watch fever, and is given tC
so many enthusiasms at once that
he looks like the last 80 seconds
of a Japanese tumbling act,p OBJ
served the magazine, Time of May
IL. Time traces the backing of Mr.
Henderson to Harry Hopkins, who
restored his friend to favor and a
Job at the hands OF President Roos-
evelt last April. Price-fixer Leon
Henderson is credited with having
plans to establish a general price
ceiling over articles of wide variety
as those prices used to be, or are
now''-of a certain day.
The war preparations being made
by the Government will make con-
trolls of NRA days seem unimpor-
tant by comparison, says the U. s.
News, which turns somewhat sour
in commenting on the sudden or
der" of Administrator Henderson
in directing the steel industry to
freeze its prices Sin the face of a
large wage increase.
So far Mr.. Henderson's samples"
are questioned, and critics call
them purely personal philosophers.

ance is on sanctions and on legal
punishment, we will have reached,

SENATORIAL sNARLS

Senator Robert R. Reynolds of
North Carolina is described as one
Of the most popular men in the
upper branch of Congress, and ac-
cording to the traditional seniority
rule he should be stepped-up from
his place as a member on the Mill
tary Affairs Committee to the
Craftsmanship, which post was held
by the late Senator Sheppard. A
reporter says that it is impossible
to imagine Senator Reynolds as
Chairman Of this particular Com
mittee "in the present emergency"
The reason is that Reynolds is an
isolationist, who has the courage
Of his convictions and never did
and doesn't now, agree with the
Administrations foreign policies.
He voted against the Lend-Lease
Bill and isn't at all enthusiastic
about the selective service.
A striking example Of Orthodox
democracy, by Democrats, was dis
played the other day when Sen
ate leader Barkley went to the
front to accept the statue of the
late Huey Long for place in the
Hall of Fame in the Capitol. Bark
ley said that the authority of Sc
lecting outstanding persons from
each State to be immortalized in
granite in the Hall of Fame was
always decided by the State, It.
self, and. that such selections were
final, and not to be questioned OF
denied. And SO he did a very nice
job, which he was brave enough
not to run away from. Members Of
the family, and a few intimate
friends of the late Kingfsh, at
tended the ceremonies. But the two
Senators from the State and all
but two members of the House did
not attend the ceremonies. The
Kingfish is dead, but long wave the

ket; U. S. No. / Grimes Golden,
212 inches and up, 95 cents per
packed bushel basket, and U. S. No.
l Wealthys, 21a inches and up, 95
cents per packed bushel basket. The
department said these prices were
about 20 to Is cents above opening
