Our President, Right or Wrong j
TN speeches before the congress of the international chamber
of commerce at Washington yesterday, two men gave voice
to two differing opinions as to the causes of the present eco
nomic depression. The two men were President Hoover, and
Georges Theunis, retiring president of the congress and repre
sentative from Belgium.
Said President Hoover: “This depression is largely due . . .
to the destruction of life and property, the great tax burdens,
and the social and political instability which resulted from the
great war.’’
Said M. Theunis: “The present situation can be blamed on
causes of a universal character, relative overcapitalization; arbi
trary, halting intervention on the part of governments and eco
nomic nationalism.”
The statement of the president is further expression of the
attitude of the government toward the present depression. It
is an attitude exemplified by bills passed in the last congress
which would provide for some immediate relief but would lend
nothing to a permanent recovery from the economic crisis.
Government leaders have named many different things as
factors resulting in the depression. Depression was first de
clared a natural link in the business cycle—now it is found to
be a result of the war. But never has the crisis been considered
due to an underlying fault in the capitalistic system.
M. Theunis has arrived nearer the possible causes for the
present situation. “Overcapitalization; arbitrary, halting inter
vention on the part of governments and economic nationalism,”
are found guilty as contributing factors. He is nearing the
heart of the trouble.
More important than veteran loans, farm relief, reduction of
armaments, and Red Cross appropriations, are the matters of
tariff adjustments between nations and thp limiting of produc
tion to meet consumption demands. Many nations have followed
the example of the once prosperous United States and have
established high tariff walls, to find only arbitrary stimulation
of business. The “cure-all” for economic ills lies not in a high
' tariff.
For pointers on regulation of production the capitalistic
countries would do well to study the great Russian "experi
•ment.”
Machine—The Master
TT has been so widely publicized that there is no need of nam
ing it. Everybody claims to have felt its effects, including
those whose real wages have been increased by the decline in
commodity prices.
Various reasons are given for its cause. Equally various
remedies have been suggested, and some spasmodic attempts
have been made to carry them into effect mainly for tempo
rary relief.
Overproduction and technological unemployment are just two
of those causes given. If either of them has had any effect on
the current depression now we have named it then it surely
points to the rule of the machine. Some individuals, a bit
frightened by the Implications of their suggestions, have laid
their charges at the door of the machine.
It is refreshing to pick up, just by chance, two borrowed
sentences:
Man can never be enslaved by machines. Only man can en
slave man.
TTATS are to be worn by men again this year.
That is a fashion note which is released in advance of
a nation-wide campaign to bring prosperity back to the country's
hat makers, whose Industry has been seriously injured by the
collegiate trend toward hatless living.
An association of hat manufacturers placed their troubles,
so we learn, before a distinguished publicity agent, whose main
purpose it is to bring public opinion to bear on the advantages
of headgear. It is hoped that column after column will be run
in newspapers announcing this important discovery of the public
relations counsel:
Hats are to be worn again by men this year.
In lending its space to the promotion of the worthy hat
makers’ cause by repeating the news, this column is led to re
mark that perhaps here lies the solution of the people’s indiffer
ence toward solution of pressing economic and political prob
lems.
Public opinion is not being directed toward men engaged in
Uiscove.'ing the source, of the nation's evils: public opinion iu
concentrating on hats.

What Do Vou Think of
Campus Luncheons ?
“I think they’re very enjoyable.
It is very interesting for the moth

them some insight into campus
life.” - Jo Dammasch, senior in
art.
‘‘I think they're one way of
showing the family spirit of Ore
gon to the week-end guests and
they are lots of fun.”—Jane Car
son, junior in biology.
"I would like to have more of
them, but I wish they would have
fish. I'm from Astoria and I like
fish!”—Fred Anderson, sophomore

"Yeah, I like them—they’re lots

honor and it’s terribly thrilling.”
“What is your greatest ambi
tion?” I asked, “in the way of a
career?”
"To get married and have four
children, two boys and two girls,”
she answered.
“What is your ideal man?” *
“Blondes, with blue eyes and '
curly hair. I love ’em, but any j
man who has the qualifications for
a gentleman could be my ideal if ,
I loved him . . . the power of the I
press forbids me to say anything i

•“What do you think of college j

“The more I stay here, the more

Dear Friends:
The biggest week-end of the year—Junior Week-end—
is almost here again, with the rise of the lowly Frosh,
campus luncheon, Canoe Fete, Junior Prom, and Mother s
Day. Mr. Skeie and I were talking about it just this
morning.
We were saying that there were two distinct groups
being honored this week-end. First, is Mother—all the
Oregon Mothers. Secondly comes Queen Eleanor I, and
her princesses.
“Let’s find some really lasting gifts for these wonder
ful Oregon Mothers,” said Mr. Skeie. And so we-mosied
around the store, trying to find what Mother would like
best. Well, we found so many things that we’ll have to
omit many of them from our list. There are rings, neck
laces, picture frames, diamond pins, fraternity mother pins
(order through us), silver services, wrist watches—and oh,
so many things Mother would like!
Drop in and have us help you pick out something ap
propriate for the “most wonderful woman in the world.”
Sincerely,
TICK
