BABSON DISCUSSES WASHINGTON

lation will create confidence or in
crease fear.
Reducing Stock. Market Margins
Let us consider the recent reduc-
ton of stock market margins from
20 per cent to so per cent This
was done by Washington to make
it easier to buy stocks; but stocks
are very different from food. We
buy food to eat; but we buy
stocks to sell at a profit.
Instead of increasing confidence
in stocks, this action by well-mean-
ing Washington bureaucrats has
frightened investors, who fear that
the real inside conditions may be
worse than the public expected
Therefore, this act, at this time,
has done more harm than. good
Now what will be the effect when
the various other palliatives are
put into force? They will relieve
munger; but will they cause inves-
tors to buy stocks or automobiles?
/ don't know-and no one else
knows.
What About Economic Laws?
Economic laws can be temporar-
lily ignored: but they cannot be long
ignored. Economic forces cannot be
seen; but neither can electric forces
be seen. Even now, no one knows
what electricity is, where it comes
from, why it travels, or where 1t
goes. Yet, we all use electricity
continually Economic forces are
just as powerful even though they
cannot be seen. For Congress to
try to ignore them is like legislat-
ing that "2 plus must hereafter
make 5.
Almost every Congressman be-
lieves in his heart that the present
regulation of farm prices is mis-
take. They believe that Secretary
Benson is basically right, but they
dare not say so for. fear of losing
the farmers vote What the ulti-
mate esult will be, no one knows
Some say these artificial prices will
finally end our present form OF
government. We dare not-say so be-
cause neither l nor anyone else
knows.
Milford chronicle., 1958-01-31

Certainly We are skating on ice of
unknown thickness. One person
whom | see is very bearish; an
other is optimistic. We are all toy
ing with questions to which nei-
ther Congress nor the President
knows the answers. Following the
depression of the Thirties, Con-
gress enacted many "cure-alls" to
relieve pain. These should work for
a while in relieving hunger, ward
off failures, and performing other
acts of mercy; but in most cases
they may serve only as mustard
plasters or aspirin when our people
need a change of character, almost
a religious conversion. Previous de-
pressions were allowed to last un-
til selfishness was replaced by un-
selfishness; until inefficiency was
replaced by efficiency; and dis
honesty by honesty. Now Congress
plans to bring back prosperity with
out restoring these fundamentals OF
unselfishness, efficiency, and hon.
esty. Can this safely be done?
What Is Scientific Education?
Washington apparently thinks
that Science refers only to physics
and chemistry. This is a great mis-
take: Economics, sociology and
merchandising are sciences of equal
Importance. Russia can give us
some great surprises along these
lines, far more important than
"Sputniks". A nation progresses
only by a balanced education, not
by going off half-cocked on one
line. What will the young physicists
and chemists do if we enter upon
a workable disarmament program
They will be "a dime a Dozen.
Were / young man or woman
today, | should become an expert on
the subjects taught at Institutes OF
Business Administration. The grad
yates of such institutions will be in
great demand as we approach dis
armament. Almost every sane man
in Washington will admit that the
ultimate choice is Disarmament
or Destruction" If World War III
comes all our schools may be laid
low and their graduates killed!

Dear Friends:
Hayes handsome face registered
smirk every tiEae | opened the
door of our family room leading to
our back yard. 1t was just a week
ago tonight that the weatherman
forecast a possible" snow storm
for the Central Plains. Because We
get all the weather whirling in
from Canada, up from the Gulf and
from the Rocky Mountains to the
west the weather man out here
never leaves himself wide open
Why the other night we heard a
weather broadcast forecasting .'un-
likely rains.
Sunday night the weather bureau
at Municipal Airport (civilian) and
the Forbes AFB weath erman a.

could sec the first fake. That night
at 1890 after we were long ago
asleep, Hayes pilot called and an
bounced the snow was here. All
Monday it showed, but it didn't
seem to hamper anyone's plans,
since the snow melted almost as
soon as it fell. The temperature
was just fat, hot 32 could hard
ly wait for the sun to cd down hop
ing the temperature would drop
and we'd get that drafted blizzard
they talk about every winter and
it never materialized.
Tuesday morning at six another
southern friend of ours who thinks
my choice of weather conditions
rather droll, awakened us to an
nounce there would be no activity
from our street in the way of trans
portation that day. We were snow
bound! Lynne and Dawn had been
alerted for three days (by their
mama) that their might be big
snow and when the phone call an
nounced there was 8" on the
ground then and two more prob
able, il really started action in our
house. Our girls wanted to know
first if there would be school. The
local weather. station was announc-
ing over and over again the names
of the schools that would be closed,
the names of businesses that would
not be expecting their shifts to
function that day Goodyear, Santa
Fe, DUPONT, jurors were excused
from duty (all / could think of was

pleaded with Hayes not to ayempt
the Is miles to the base, but "re-
port for duty" seems to be instilled
in them and he knew he had to be
at the base. Weather of any kind
cannot deter the Strategic Air
Command. Our next door neighbor
had already gone to the base. Hayes
was scheduled to fly that day.

blizzard, but he must make every
attempt to.
Our old car has snow tires on it,

or chains, but it would start and
we watched Hayes leave McAIister
Avenue in it. The four lane, high
way to the base was turned into
two narrow lanes banked on either
side with window high drifts. About
eleven Hayes and his crew aborted
their fight and started home. A big
cumbersome truck slid sideways in
this narrow lane leading home (it
is the main highway leading south
from ToIeka) and the pase per-
sonnel cars started piling up. Fin
ally help from the base arrived.
They knew the situation would be
impossible if they didn't get this
truck ION the road" so the thou
sands leaving the base could get
on their way too. Gut there in the

knew we would have to go on
foot and that we did, We helped
neighbors get their cars in and out
of the roads, had coffee with friends
had SNOWFALL fights with adults and
their children. but most of the day
we watched the snow from in doors
and talked to our friends on the
phone. Hayes second car seemed
to be little too far in the road
and we were afraid someone might
slip into it. With the help of some
other males Hayes got the car
going and then someone came
along who didn't know he only
wanted the car closer to the
curb. This good samaritan" in
stead of going on about his busi-
ness, got his car going full speed
and with his chains dug into the
snow and pushed Hayes a good two
blocks away from our front door.
In that blizzard two blocks from
home was like twenty. Hayes does
MT enjoy snow like 4 do and he
couldn't appreciate being in that
invigorating air. Can't you see him?
Talk about being hot under the
collar / am not fooling. He had on
cordoroy cap and he worked so
hard geeting his car out of this
giant snow drift that when he took
off his cap steam just logged the
air. / took two of our shag rugs the
two blocks to the car. We have
used them for traction before and
they work wonders. Hayes us

little boy of s. IF you'll just wait
little while until my Dad comes
home he'll get you out cause he

and glared at me. 1 could see our
house in the distance the snow was
| lovely and l was enjoying being out
in it. When Hayes got home he
rushed in the house and took
shower. got in his pajamas and
robe. He had had enough.
Hayes right now is in Massachu-
setts and is working with General
Sweeneys (the boss of 9Th Air
Force) assistant, General Fisher.

Babson Park, Mass, Jan. 30. II
is not my place to discuss politics
in this column. Most OF us are Re-
publicans or Democrats accord
ing to where we live or how we
were trained as children. This
means that the birth rate will large
ly be the deciding factor under a
democracy.
Democracy and Economies
This further means that demo-
cracy, with everyone having a vote
irrespective of character or edu-
cation in government, is crazy and
cannot long continue. There must
be shakedown sometime and a
return to the republic which Wash
ington, Franklin, and Hamilton
established in 1888. We have drift
ed far away from our original
ideals.
/ am, however, allowed to dis
cuss economics in this column. Let
me start by saying that no one
knows what will be the effect on
business and investments of the
unemployment cushions which
have been devised to prevents an
other real depression.
Some Unanswered Questions
Will the insurance of bank de-
posits prevent a money panic when
banks begin to fail? Will unemploy-
ment insurance give confidence to
business and the stock market when
millions are idle and walking the
streets? Can employers be forced
to employ people at loss? In short,
will these laws which business
men and investors are counting on
really work?
/ am not disputing the ability of
these new laws to do some good
They will relieve much suffering
and encourage some consumer buy
ing; but will they create confidence,
or will they, instead. make business
more fearful? No one knows. These
"pacifiers" have not yet been tried
No true business depression has
occurred since these "humani-
tartan" laws were enacted. My point
this week is to emphasize that nc
one knows whether existing legis-

Discussion Clubs
To Start Here

Plans were made this week to
begin the first series of discussion
clubs to be held in st. Johns par
ish. The series will begin around
the middle of February and will
consist of eight one-hour sessions.
Usually the sessions will be held
one night each week but If the
group prefers, they can be held on
alternate weeks rather than each
week. A club will be limited tc
twelve members and will meet in
a different home each week
The text book that has been Sc
lected for this first series is en-
titled: God, Man, and Goldman"
by the Rev Leo J. Trese and con-
tains such chapters as why am
/ e?T-'.Who is God ?'-.Is the
Devil real?
This is one phase of the Contra
ternity of Christian Doctrine pro-
gram to enable and encourage adj
ult Catholics to know more about
and to better understand the trths
taught by Christ during His So
journ here on earth.
