The so-called Economic Advis-
ors are trying to tell the public
how to avoid depression" They
have even gone so far as to agitate
the restriction of installment sales.
That would reduce the ability of
small earners to buy many neces-
sites of life. The installment buy
ers are not the only ones who are
abusing their power to get credit.
IT'S PRETTY EASY TO EXPLAIN
Chairman Styles Bridges of the
Senate Appropriation Committee
issued an interesting but not very
convincing statement to the effect
that the taxpayers of the country
were saved more than 61s billion
dollars in the recent session.
Maybe that is quite a sum if one
is willing to admit the truth that
the United States Government had
been and still is, spending money
like drunken sailors"
The bright spot in the Bridges
statement is the promise that the
cutting "has only been started"
and will be pursued relentlessly"
next session. Nevertheless, it is
rather difficult to agree with Sem
ator Bridges that there is any
thing remarkable" in our troub-
led world shown by the refusal of
the Administration to cooperate.
There is nothing to do about it
but to use the rather hopeless for
mula of "watchful waiting"
NOW IT'S BETWEEN
DEWEY AND TAFT
Governor Dewey has made a
/ fine impression in his tour through
different parts of the United States,
and that will count in his favor as
presidential candidate for 194S.
And: Senator Taft has been a
successful guide in leading the Re-
publicans "out of the wilderness. u
He is a remarkably strong man
judged by his ability to convince
not only the Senate, but the people
of every class. That is to say, he
is a better vote-getter than Dew
ey. On the other hand, the coun-
try and our people have a better
opinion of Dewey than they had in
1914.
Right now, it is possible for ex.
perienced news correspondents tC
do a little predicting, or guessing
In the first place, all other candi'
dates for the Presidency are fal
behind Dewey and Taft, and the
probabilities are that none of then
will catch up. Put it this way: AT
