pASTIO this in your hat:
z Among the developments of
the not too distant future will be
oMage pensions on a scale l.ARfi
ER than the present scale.
You may like it, or you may not
like it hut it is coming. We'd bet
ter bgin to give it some scrioUB
nnd HONEST thought.
N giving tlioiighfto old age pen-
sions, we must get rid of the
notion that they will in some mys
terious manner STIMULATE
PROSPERITY.
They won't.
Prosperity, is created only by In
creased production either through
more work or more efficiency.
Prosperity Is the result of MORE
THINGS not more money. No
matter how hard you try, you can't
Bhare 'what ISN'T. PRODUCED.
There are no short cuts to pros
perity. .
The sooner we' make up our
minds to that, the better off w
shall be.
PENSIONS for the aged mean
simply that money that is
EARNED by one group of the pop
ulation is SPENT by another group.
If you earn money and give it to
your neighbor .to spend, the pros
perity of the community won't be
stimulated any more than If you
pent' the money yourself. '
All that will happen Is that you
will have to work harder, whereas
your neighbor won't have to work
so hard.
Economically, the effect of old
age pensions will be exactly the
same. They won't Increase produc
tion, but they will make life easier
nnd pleasnnter for the aged.
IP old ago pensions are to be
sound, they must be recognized
clearly for what they actually are
which Is deferred payment .for
WORK ALREADY DONE.
The worthy aged have done their
part. They have produced In their
producing years. In an enlighten
ed state of society (such as ours
proiesses to be) those who have

BERLIN, Nov. 19. (AP)
Seventy seven foreign news

their sale forbidden.
Among those banned were
the November 6 and 7 icsues
of the New York Times.
Most recent issues of the
leading Swiss, Danish, British,
French, Belgian, Norwegian,
Swedish, Rumanian, Yugo
slav, Czechoslovak, Polish and
Vatican City dailies were con
fiscated. The reason apparently was
that the papers contained de

ing Alaska from quota restrictions

continuous reliance on outside

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. (AP)
Senator' Bomb (R.; Idaho) ex-
presedi the opinion today that nny
attempt to revise the Immigration
laws so us to take care of addi
tional refugees from Germany
would arouse "tremendous opposi
tion" in congress.
"I do not believe It desirable to
undertake to change the immigra
tion laws at this time," he said.
"Any possible change would be
wholly Inadequate for leal i cliff."
President Roosevelt told his
press conference yesterday that he
had no thought of liberalizing pres
ent quotas which restrict immigra-
tionfrom Germany nnd former Aus
tria to 27.370 persons annually.
Some Jewish leaders, however,
have suggested the possibility of
admitting 80,000 or so refugees im
