How Not to Become
A Dictator
SCARCELY a year ago, social credit, as ad
vocated by a colorless British engineer, Major
Douglas, was something less than a minor issue
in Alberta, Canada. Then, within a very few
months, the idea sprouted wings and talons,
seized the public imagination, and carried it into
the polling booths with stupendous enthusiasm.
The “rabbit from the hat” trick served further
to prove the starring role played by a “front” in
inaugurating any radical social or economic
change; for the social credit government in Al
berta is solely responsible to dynamic William
Aberhart for its popularity.
The difference between Douglas and Aberhart
is the difference between abstract, theoretical
thinking, and concrete, solid promises.
In its briefest and simplest form, the plan of
Major Douglas was this:
The production of goods does not create suf
ficient purchasing power to enable people to buy
them. Therein lies the cause of all our economic
ills.
The cost of producing goods can be divided
into two classes. Class A comprises the money
paid in wages, salaries, or dividends. This is pur
chasing power, ready and available to purchase
the goods. But Class B includes the money paid
for raw materials, bank charges, depreciation,
taxes, etc., and this money does not pass into
the hands for the purchasers, and is not avail
able to purchase the goods. In a rough way, this
is the meaning of the famous A and B theory.
Present methods of production must create
unsaleable surpluses. In the past this has been
avoided because surpluses were exported to
under-developed territories. The 20th century
has few such areas, and is saturated with goods.
The remedy is to be found in increasing pur
chasing power, as represented by Class A, by the
amount comprising Class B, but not by inflation.
You must arrive at a “just price,” by tabulating
manufacturing costs according to the A and B
theory, that is, the price which ignores the B
class costs. Compare the just price with the
actual price and you arrive at the amount of
money which a manufacturer should receive if
he is to reduce his sale prices to the level where
the w; ges, salaries and dividends* will buy all
the output.
There are three remedies, the national divi
dend, the rebate system, and the suspense ac
counts plan. In the first, you work out the A and
B theory on all production with a country, and
figure out a national just price. Then you adopt
a state dividend which will increase national
purchasing power by the difference between
actual prices and the just price.
Aberhart saw clearly that the voters could
not be expected to run a temperature over a plan
so stated.
We Mortgage
For the Future
JN the five years since 1930 the people of the
United States, through their government, have
mortgaged themselves a tidy fifteen billion dol
lars worth in an effort to vanquish the depres
sion.
Prospects for a budget surplus in the immedi
ate future are far from rosy, for instead of plan
ning for a surplus at some future time, our
budgets provide for deficit on deficit. It has al
ready been estimated that for 1936 our govern
ment will go in the hole a mere three billion
dollars, with expenditures attaining 110 percent
of the total income .
The principle behind these vast expenditures
is that they cause stimulation of activity in com
merce and industry; a step toward the return of
normal business conditions.
On the surface there may result a temporary
boom, and many hail it as the long awaited
Messiah of normal times. Is prosperity still just
around the corner?
Provided that such spending is desirable and
that it does result in temporary activity, a glance
at the budget reveals that the traffic will not
bear much more. Business gladly accepts govern
ment assistance and clamors that it is being
betrayed when funds are withheld.
The American people soon will be asking of
the government fewer "good breaks” and more
good "brakes."

Five new patients were added to
the infirmary list yesterday, and

tion on a mass scale,” Mr. Spof
ford declared, “but now it is
through.
"The church has to play its part
in the change to socialism. Exist
ing theology demands our action.
We must open our minds to all
kinds of ideas and not be fright
ened by the mention of "red.' We
must come to understand the pos
sibilities for a new order and get
into the game.”
Communists Intelligent
Russia was cited as concrete
proof that socialism under control
of the proletariat is feasible. Mr.
Spofford criticized the New Deal
from the left, predicted that
Roosevelt would be re-elected, re
ferred to fascism as capitalism
gone nudist, and said Communists
were very intelligent and earnest
people whom Christians could well
pattern after.
A discussion on the possibilities
of the organization of a local Epis
copal church league for Industrial
Democracy followed the meeting
at the home of Rev. Howard R.
White.

2000 students from Canadian and
American colleges.
Some of the more prominent
speakers are the Archbishop of
York, a leader in British student
circles, Toyoliiko Uagav.a, Richard
Huberts, moderator of the United
Church of Canada, and W. A. Vis

Stage of the World

by it. No wonder those soul-in
spiring pleas for peace are ringing
out from across the waves.
It’s a racket. A racket of the
Haves perpetrated on the Have
Nots. So when the pipe of peace is
going the rounds inhale not too
deeply, for though the tobacco used
is a popular brand it leaves a nasty
taste in the mouth.
Just a Minntr
Now be careful in your inter
pretation of this. It is not intend
ed to mold your judgment for you,
or to arouse in your mind doubts
as to the essential good of peace.
That is our dream, yours and mine,
to have “peace on earth, good will
toward men." But that is our in
dividual dream, not the reality of
governments. Our present eco
nomic life is such that war takes
a definite pattern in it. Peace to
day is merely a transition between
wars. Take cognizance of that It
u- gruu reality act of our making
to be sure, but an inescapable evo
lution of the ages,
their gains, some wish to make
their gains, some svi shto make
gains. They are the ones going to
war, or about to go to war. But it
is the former who by their meth
ods for the continuation of peace
make it a racket.
This is all in terms of govern
ments, not in terms of individuals,
and it is to be hoped that no one
puts the question, “Why, don't you
believe in peace? Don't you want
peace in the world?” I do. But
“let there be light, and lo there
was light.”

“If and when the amendments
concerning the independent execu

committee to define the meaning
of 'living organization' and deter
mine who shall be eligible for the

night.
A light vote is predicted as in
terest in the election has been lax
this week and the usual spirited
political activity has been dormant.

we didn’t know this one. R.E.A.
Tired of guessing? It stands for
“Rural Electrification Adminis

going to be used in bringing the
advantages of electric power to
farm communities.
With electrical labor saving de

Dead Kitty
On the night that Jimmy Walker
arrived back in N’Yawk, the me
tropolis was jarred by its first
earthquake since 1925, the year
debonair Jimmy went into office
as mayor.
Those weren’t earthquakes.
Those rumblings were coming
from the Tammany tiger who was
i rolling over on his back, trying to
! get people to believe that he was
dead.
Skull Scrubbing
We’ve heard lots of jokes about
“getting your head fixed,” but
imagine our surprise to find out
that such things can be done. At
the University of California, two
surgeons treat cancers and infec
tions of the skull by actually cut
j ting out the bad section, scraping,
: boiling and sterilizing it. In can
jeer, the renovated piece of booe
i may be clamped back in place at
, once. In case of infections, how
j ever, the surgeon has to wait un
til all traces of infection have dis
j appeared from the brain cavity.
| (We like that phrase, “brain cavi
j ty.” It reminds us of Clark),
i Sometimes it takes weeks for the
infection to disappear, but when
; it does, the cleaned and polished
j area of bone may be refitted into
the opening.
We can't help wondering if they
nail the bones back onto the skull,
j or if they use glue. Can any blos
I soming young medico give us a bit
I of advice along this line? Address
all communications to "The Marsh
| of Time ward 7 Lane county
psychopathic hospital."

And while we’re talking about
medicine, it probably wouldn’t hurt
to mention the fact that 2,500,000
operations are performed in Amer
ican and C anadian hospitals every
year. More damn blood!

From the S. t . Trojan: Those
who defend the constitution had
hotter do so by making the consti
tution meet the needs of modern
times. V hungry man walking the
streets without a job is not much
interested in tradition.
Pearls of wisdom, my Tory
t friends pearls of wisdom. During
the 150 years that the constitu
tion has lived, the people have con
stantly changed and shifted to new
frontiers for adjustment. Now the
last frontier is gone, and at last
the country must shift to adjust
itself to the people. Can this be
done without changing the consti
tution ?
A moot question. Very moot in
deed. May we assure you that we
will absitively not be embroiled in
a political beef for being so un
wise as to air our views on the
subject. Answer the question
yourself, then we’ll all be happy.

Paul Whiteman has endowed the
first museum of modern American
music, which is to be established
at Williams college in Williams
tov/n, Massachusetts. In an effort
to supply talented youth with a
central institution devoted to the
art of arranging, radio broadcast
ing, composing, and playing jazz,
Paul, considered America's fore
most orchestra leader and inter
preter of music in the modem
idiom, has turned over to the col
lege a comprehensive collection of
scripts, arrangements, orchestra
tions, records, and instruments il
lustrative of the development of
the modern band.
A condition of the gift is that
it shall be of access without charge
to every qualified person interested
in the study of American music —
from the negro's combining form
of English ballad and jungle
rhythm, through the eras of rag
time, fox-trot, and “hot brass,” to
the blue notes and suavity of to
day's dance tunes.

Goal Is Set
(Continued from Page One)
Plans for a library, student
union building and many other
such projects for which the
pledges were originally made were
not completed, except the fine arts
museum, and since these pledges
can legally be renewed, Mrs. Ger
linger hopes to raise part of the
needed fund in this manner.
Dean Karl W. Ontliank, also a
member of the faculty library com
mittee, is completing a leaflet to
be sent to all potential donors of
the fund. The pamplet will contain
a halftone etching of the room it
self, and an article illustrating
the purpose and a description in
detail of the browsing room. There
will also be a short letter explain
ing the request for donations and
asking suggestions for a name for
the memorial reading room. Infor
mation will be sent “key” people
of organized alumni groups to
orient them with the need for suf
ficient funds to furnish the reading
room.
A contribution from the alumni
holding association has been made
to help meet the expenses of car
rying on the campaign.
A series of winter lectures, also
a repetition of former means of
raising funds, is to be held in Port
land under the direction of the
University Mothers’ club there.
These lectures, at which University
faculty members will speak,
arouse interest in the University
and, as Dr. Ernst remarked, “have
appetizing value.”
The committee of the Friends of
the Library is composed of faculty
librarty committee members and
prominent townspeople.
