Senator Advises
DecOntrOI to
Keep Prosperity
Rp Ruth Dean
Rv Ruth Denn

Removal OF remaining price cell
ings from production as the first
step toward solution Of the problem
of attaining and maintaining high
level Of prosperity in this country,
was urged yesterday by Senator
Ralph E. Flanders, Republican, of
Vermont.
Removal of the ceilings would in
crease distribution to the point that
it would not interfere with the large
funds which have to be plowed back
into business if employment and
production are to be expanded. the
Senator explained in an address
before the League of Republican
Women at the Statler Hotel.
Referring to the Employment Act
of 1916 as another factor toward
solution of the problem, Senator
Flanders cited this effort as the tirst
in our history toward establishing
procedure for looking at our econ
omy as whole. and for endeavoring
to do what can be done within the
governmental sphere to maintain
employment when it is high and
bring it back when it falls below
normal.
"The usefulness of this legislation
will depend entirely on the skill and
devotion with which it is operated"
the Senator said. II have every
reason to believe that it is going to
prove its worth"
The speaker had earlier reviewed
the country's past economic ills. We
cannot rest content with the fact
that we enjoy, even in times of Ge-
preston, higher standard of living
today than any other country at
any other time, since it falls fa1
short of our physical possibilities of
production and distribution, he said.
eve must be particularly dis
satisfied with our wide variations in
production and consumption" Sen
ator Flanders stressed, and cited
the depression of the 1930's as an
example of how easily the economy
Of nation with a high standard
of living can become unbalanced
through the withholding of large
part of the purchasing power with
the resulting disastrous effect on
production.
Referring to the New Deal "ex-
pertinent" to cure unemployment
and underproduction through a Gov
ernment spending program, Senator
Flanders commented, "It cost us
$40, ,579 ,980,831 to make the expert
ment and the experiment failed"
The fact that the New Deal never
solved that problem should lead us
to look with suspicion on Govern
ment spending and deficit financing
as the unfailing remedy for unem-
ployment," he added.
The speaker said he did believe
in controlled" Government spend
ing as one element in the stabiliza-
ton of production. Public expendi-
lures would be deferred, he ex-
planned, to periods of unemploy-
ment, instead of having govern
mental requirements for labor and
material come into the market
when labor and materials are scarce.
That is not New Deal doctrine"
the Senator commented, "it is just
common sense"
Mrs. Joseph r. Harrington, pro-
gram chairman, introduced the
speaker, and Mrs. William H. Cul-
bertson, president, presided.

M. Bizardel described the destruc-

merely to obtain metal, as the Ger

stances was pure vandalism, the
speaker declared.
Statues of famous Americans in
Benjamin Franklin and
George Washington, were unmo-
ested, the visitor added, indicating
a respect for the Americans which
The Nazis showed to no other people.
Even the statues of famous South
leaders, such as Simon
Bolivar, were torn down and the
metal transported to Germany, he
added.
Although the Nazis claimed the
METAL was to be used for French
agricultural implements, we never
aw any of it used for that purpose,
he speaker said. And not all of |
went into armament or ammuni-
ion either, but was used in the erec-
ion of monuments to the Nazi
eaders."
