Their long range planning is
designed to make this a reality,
not a dream. The practical side
of this planning was given this
q week before the Detroit section
of the Society of Automotive
Engineers by Andrew A. Kucher
of Bendix.
Kucher pointed out that,

available in great quantities in
a reasonably short time. He
listed power steering, power
braking, automatic window

the devices which can be ex-

Jet Cooling
OF Pistons Urged
BY sILER FREEMAN

Jet cooling OF piStons was
recommended 10 the Society of
Automotive Engineers national
diesel fuels and lubricants meet
ing being held in Chicago. 1t
was called a promising method
OF combating excessive combus-
ton temperatures which have
hampered increased power out
put and progress in reducing
the weight of internal combus-
lion engines.
The recommendations were
made by George Flynn Jr. and
A. r.. Underwood of GINS re-
search laboratories. They re-
ported satisfactory service tests
with jet cooled steel piStons in
marine dleselS and laboratory
experiments with jet cooled
aluminium pistons in gasoline
engines. Both said that jet COOL
ing is practicable from an engi-
neering standpoint and merits
greater attention as a means of
overcoming effects of temporal
ture as engine outputs are in
creased.
Their report suggested that
jet cooling might permit using
all-welded steel alloy instead of
aluminium pistons in gas engines,
assures adequate piston strength
at all temperatures and elimi-
mates trad itional difficulties
with sticking rings, blow-by and
excessive wear and oil consump-
ton at high speeds.

LEAN TO COLLECTIvIsM

Perhaps the easy-money policy
is the outstanding point in the
New Deal economics. The reasons
for this should be clearly UNDER
stood by all. They are partly
practical and partly based on the
cries of reform.
The practical argument Is that
low interest rates (no matter how
attained) will % help the gov
eminent as a borrower, and CD
stimulate business activity. II is
argued that if the government
pays lower interest rates, its car
rying charges on the public debt
will be lower.
The theoretical argument for
the easy-money policy" is that
interest is unnecessary. that re.
ducing it will discourage private
saving and investment. and that
this will do away with the capital
istic system. Those economists
who favor the easy-money policy
lean toward collectivism.
EO1ASI ON6OOND
I hold that this policy, and the
theory back of 1t, are unsound and
destructive of democracy. They
should be rejected as so much
poison. My reasons are as follows:
The easy-money policy encour.
ages the government to borrow.
resulting in. bigger debts and big.
ger total carrying charges than
otherwise.
The easy-money policy increases
costs to us citizens through higher
insurance premiums and higher
investment prices. eve get lower
yields on government bonds and
other securities.D
The easy-money policy does not
stimulate business or give full en-
ployment. Look at the continued
abnormal unemployment prior to
the draft) Actually IL retards
saving and restricts investment.
Normal individuals won't invest
as much when interest and divi.
dendS are low as when they are
high. This hurts the heavy CAPT.
tal-goods industries and causes
great unemployment.
BUSINESS HAMSTRUNG
The result is that private enter.
prise is hamstrung. Then the bu.
reaucrat says: IF businessmen
won't. the government will" He
proceeds to shove the interest rate
down a notch in order to get more
cheaply the funds with which to
take business for a ride.
