CRASH PREDICTED
RY G w. BABSON

BABSON PARK, Mass, June
2O.-The market for houses-bott
old and nevis today as crazy
as was the stock market in 1929
Someday there is bound to be
crash in the price of houses such
as came to the stock market after
the last big boom. Houses tina:
cost &c. 900 or more to build twenty
years ago and which could have
been bought ten years ago at So
COG are now being sold at $4,000
or more.
There are three reasons for this
unhealthy boom in houses: % The
discharge from the army OF 12,OOO,-
900 men, a large percentage OF
whom have been married during
the past five years and now natu-
rally want a home. ca The crazy
regulations of the government max
ing it difficult to build new homes.

aim of their members to do as
little work, instead of as much
work, in the day as possible. Hence,

wrong. Not only will wage-work
ers themselves be obliged to pay
more in rents, but they may star
a buyers strike. People are dis
gusted with the way bricklayers
carpenters and painters are ap
parently doing as little as possible
and dragging out the work. The

ducing more. We cannot pull our
selves up by Jul bootstraps.
Should houseowners who nave
a chance to double their money or
their present house now sell? My
answer is that if it is a mouse

but from which you collect rents
sell it. This will give you a good
profit and you will be rendering
a service by helping to break TINS

other hand, if it is a house If

" have some other place to go,
YOU cannot afford to sell even at
these crazy high prices.
The same general advices apply

RIGHTS OF MAN

new draft of the declaration of the rights of man has been prepared by the French Constituent Assembly for inclusion in the constitution of the Fourth Re- public Though in general it follows the pattern or the historic declaration of August 20 l789 1t differs from, that document in several important respects. These differences are worth some consideration as having possibly important implications for the future of freedom not only in France but throughout the world
 Certain guaraptees-for example that deienoants a law shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty the same ofense-are incorporated in the declara tion without change modification. But whereas the old declaration was mainly negative in the sense of setting narrow limits to the authority and power of the state over the individual citizen the new declara- ton positive the of assuring certain soclal and economic benefits to all citizens.
 The most striking difference perhaps is in the clauses relating property. The original declaration defined the rights of property "imprescriptibe, "inviolable" sacred and insisted that none could be deprived of his property in cases of manifest public necessity The declaration however stpu- lates that although citizen may be deprived of property save in of ascertaned public utility nevertheless the right of property may not be exerted contrary public utility At the same time it provides istics of public service of de facto monopoly is to become property of the collectivy, thereby giving constitutional sanction to standardization of basic industries.

That Word Planning"
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The word "planningp so widely used these days in connection with industry and agriculture too often carries the implication that all planned programs are government inspired Such is not true now, nor has it been true in the past. America has achieved her enviable economic status because individual enterprise has watched carefully the road ahead and has set it's course accordingly.
 The people of the United States have benefited immeasurably from all sorts of planned operations, directed and managed by private capital Of course, some of these operations have failed Some have suc- ceeded for limited periods only. But when the whole economy of the country is considered 1t IS obvious that methods have been successful in greater ratio than have the methods of any other people or any other nation In recent tussle with governments which planned and directed every of it's every citizen the governments of free enterprise won in walk.
 None of the great business industrial develop ments-many of which now take for granted-came about by happenstance. All resulted from study and long time planning from investment as well as re- search The gas-propeled motor the electric light and all ether electric appliances railroads steamship lnes our medicines and surgical sciences-al these have reached their present points of perfection because Americans planned and plotted the directions of their efforts
 Billions of dollars have been spent on various types of scientific research. Billions have been spent in perfeeting mass production methods-which have brought low prices. Such operations are the very essence of industrial planning.
 When you think of planning them, don't think of government planning alone. Remember that valuable as it is in government the Yankee characteristic of locking before leaping is reflected in other depart ments of living. The businessman who fails to plan doesn't stay business long. The industry which lays the best design for the future is that which prospers most-and brings the greatest good to the general public.

them that the Grand Old Party had made the full dinner pail their slogan, yet voted against the Mini mum Wage Bill. A Minnesota vot- CT immediately sent Pepper din- ner pail, saying that perhaps Joe Ball had never seen one and didn't know the meaning of it. Pepper is waiting for a chance to make the presentation. Franklin RooSe- welt Jr may have been an indirect target of Truman's criticism when he banned the Navy for propagan- di2ing against the merger. U
 s. Ambassador Beetle Smith has cabled the State Department that the Russians have eased press cen- sorship just a leetle. The Atomic Committee headed by able Senator Brien McMahon of Connecticut finally came through with pretty good Atomic Control Bill. One trouble was that Brien is fresh- man Senator, and oldtimers resent ed his being appointed to so inn portant a chairmanship. However
 he did a good job and all's well that ends well.

believed that GernIally should be built up as buffer state against Russia; and that was where he in- cured the opposition of Henry Morgenthau. Henry has now writ ten to Truman warning that Doug las, as head of the World Bank would be a tragic mistake
 Despite the fact that everyone likes Lew personally, there is vio- lent opposition to his policies and his off-again-on-again method of ambling through life.
 However, Secretary of the Trea- sury Vinson is for him, so are the British, and, what with strong Wall Street support, he will pro- bably get the job.
 RY-CO-ROUND If Republican Senator Joe Ball of Minnesota will drop round to the office of his Democratic col league, Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, he will find a present awaiting him in the form of an old-fashioned dinner pail What happened was that Pepper ribbed the Republicans in a speech on the Minimum Wage Bill, reminding

free communication of thoughts and opinions to be one of the most precious rights of man and guar anteed that every citizen might speak, write and print with freedom but should be answerabe for the abuse of that freedom, the new declaration merely guarantees right of free speech and free press within the limits forth in the declaration itself
 Among the limitations thus placed upon freedom of expression is prohibition against any propaganda' in favor of any political or social system that might theoretically discriminate against any sex age color or religion" Also the declaration insists that all men have both the right and the duty to work and that in matters of employment may be discrimnated against because of his origin, opinions or belief It spulaes that all children have the right to full educa- tion and that any discrimination in matters of educa- ton must wholly the basis of personal aptitudes
 From all this it will be that the new declara- ton places it's greatest emphasis on the principle Of equality whereas the old like own Declaration of Independence placed the emphasis on liberty What remains to be seen is whether the two principles are ultimately compatible; that is to say, whether liberal ism and democracy two names for single set of political concepts something essentially different In this connection it might be remembered that many students, among them Tocqueville and Lord Acton, felt that sooner later modern mankind must make choice between being equal and being free.

 Some years before this. however, Lew Douglas had come to Con- gress in 1927 as a Democrat at the sprightly age of B, when Congress was packed with dignified Republi- cans of the conservative Coolidge era.

Less than a year later, the two were in vigorous disagreement, chiefly over the public works and spending program. FDR believed the Government had to spend to win back employment Douglas was for balanced budget. Finally he resigned.
 Lew then went up to Canada for while as Vice Chancellor of Mo Gill University, later became head of the giant Mutual Life Insur- ance Company of New York, did his best to elect Wendell Willkie, was privately though briefly men, tioned by J. P. Morgan Partners as Republican candidate for Presi- dent, and then, with the war on, he and Roosevelt suddenly kissed and made up.
 Douglas became head of the War Shipping Administration, where he cut red tape, rowed with the Army, and did a reasonably good job
 At one time, Roosevelt nearly appointed Douglas to be Under Secretary of State. This was when FDR made the worst foreign rela- tions mistake of his many long years by busting his best State De- partment executive, Sumner Welles. However, Douglas was considered too close to Wall Street. and Ed Stettinius got the job instead.
 Later, Lew turned up myster- iously in Germany, where he serv- ed as a War Department adviser and where he persuaded his broth er-in-law, Assistant Secretary of War McCloy, to held up Truman s tough peace" Directive l067 for Germany.

Only one heavy loss has been sus-

Generally speaking, more animals are

Young are born in the stalls in this
