and high school students to learn
their views.
DR.. Fines extremely readable
analysis and his conclusions are
perhaps best epitomized by the
following anecdote:

rowing at sea, when the professor
asked:
'By the way, did you ever study
Latin?"
"No," came the answer, "1 new

Up: To Congress

The surest way to prevent wildfire
initiation is to bring production of con-
sumner goods up to meet consumer de-
mands, which because of the money
and bonds in private hands are larger
than ever before.
The surest way to create runaway
initiation is to increase the pay of union
workers and through strikes cut pro-
duction and service to a minimum.
Unless production is increased and
unless Individual revenue is held in
bounds, the United States is in for a
period of initiation that can end only
in such i-aancial collapse as to make
the 1929 depression seem like pros
perity.
So long as there is only a limited
supply of consumer goods to be pur-
chased and excess cash is in hand for
the buying, no price ceiling can prev ent
