from the RUGGED INDIVIDUALISTS
of PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, but the
creation of a five billion dollar deb
for the relief of HUMAN MISERY
met with the bitterest opposition from
these same "R. Is, while proposals
that the nation embark upon a pro
gram of PRODUCTION FOR USE
were as castor oil and stricknine to
the "R. Us" and would Immediately
start the nation straight for the dem
milton bow-wow's." Isn't the logic
and reasoning of the RUGGED IN
DIVIDUALISTS" just WONDERFUL.
The nation was at war. PRODUC-
TION FOR DESTRUCTION must be
geared to the highest possible speed,
new sources of power must be tapped
and greater mass-production methods
devised to the end that the PROFITS
pouring into the Golfers of the bene-
ficiaries of PRIVATE ENTERPRISE
might continue and wax greater.
Mans mechanical ingenuity was
equal to the occasion Ships that had
required six months or twelve to build
were launched in three-in two-in
one. Production of planes increased
by fifty per Gently seventy-five.
Manufacture of munitions and instru-
ments of war set a similar pace. AM
ERICA WAS DEMONSTRATING HER
CAPACITY TO PRODUCE.
All this production was calculated to
destroy and be destroyed, but PROF

WAITE ENTERPRISE in a steady
stream. There would be NO IDLE
PLANTS or machines so long as their
operation yielded PROFIT to the
owners.

machines stood idle-because millions
of Americans were unable to purchase
the products of private enterprise at

OF THE CAPITALIST ECONOMY OF
SCARCITY.
America has in few short months
fully demonstrated that her capacity
to produce can easily exceed her pres
ent demand FOR CONSUMPTION. |
But what of the EFFECT of these new
production methods and the increased !
tempo of production upon post war
America? Work formerly performed |
by human labor is now being done by |
a machine which accomplishes twice
as much in ONE HALF THE TIME.
To mention only one instance, you
scribes can point to one machine re-
Gently installed which will accomplish
the work now requiring ten men, in
one half the time required by hand

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (By Air
Courier The impact of war has
failed to shake the deep-rooted
serenity of this rugged little island
on an air and sea approach to
Europe.
The narrow streets of the capital
are filled with the uniforms of many
nations, the docks are busy with
shipping, airplane motors drone
overhead by day and night, prices
are high and the few hotels filled to
overflowing.
Yet the people still find time for
their traditional way Of life. The
average man likes to compose bit

to digest good literature and for
serious rather than strenuous po-
litical discussions.
Four Hours for Lunch.
The Icelander likes to dine at
length with his friends. He Is fond
of choral singing, and is apt at
framing graceful toasts at dinner
The Icelandic press gave lunch

four hours. There were speeches,
toasts, excellent wine, and many
songs.
Meanwhile, outside the windows

Some collected around a bright bon

Barren Of Trees.
The stern and forbidding nature
of the volcanic, snow-capped noun
tains seems to have influenced the
poetry, music. literature, drama and
painting of the Icelanders, as well
as the sturdy, independent nature
of the people themselves.
Many are direct descendants of
the Norwegians who colonized the
island and set up their own Parlia-
ment more than 1000 years ago.
The whole country is barren of
trees, but contains many streams
which have been harnessed for water
power and a number Of geysers and

sions on preparing youth for future
leadership high lighted the closing
session today of the 29th annual
conference of Maryland agriculture
extension workers here.
Those attending yesterdays ses-
sion heard a prediction by DR.. S. H.
De Vault, head agricultural econ
omist of the University of Maryland,
that farm commodities would de-
cline in price next year
Placing the net farm income of
the United States now at S12,600,-
100000, the economist predicted it
would move down sharply after We
day to AN annual of, perhaps,
s9,0O0,O 100000"
DR.. De Vault declared that farm
ers probably would need assistance
in postwar years and advocated a
gradual tapering off of Government
price supports.
He said the Nations present farm
distributing and marketing system
was "woefully inefficient, with the
farmer receiving an average of only
50 per cent of the retail prices OBJ
tanned for products he grows.
There is every need for more
farmer cooperation in every stage
of marketing, including assembling
grading, packing, storing, process
ing, shipping, merchandising and
financing of farm products"
