Keep Politics
Out of Economics
foremost importance to the people of the
Northwest at the present time is the recip
rocal trade treaty between Canada and the
United States. It is being condemned or upheld
by almost every paper which is published. But
the discussion which is being carried on is based
primarily upon politics rather than upon the
economic problem.
Over emphasis on the political aspects of this
problem cloud the thinking of the people concern
ing the principle issue: Is this treaty for the
economic betterment or the economic detriment
of the United States? This problem is not basic
ally political although politics, it is to be ad
mitted, enter into all the domestic and foreign
affairs.
Making a political issue of a situation has
resulted in the past in disregard for the primary j
problem itself. Thus by making the League of i
Nations controversy a political question instead
of judging it upon its own merits, after the
World War, resulted in a continuation of this
problem during the past seventeen years as a
political problem. It has never been judged solely
upon its intrinsic value.
Are the citizens of the Northwest going to
face the present problem as a political issue or
will they take an unbiased view of it, not as a
Republican or Democrat, but judge it on itst eco
nomic worth ? Not until then will an adequate
solution be reached.

TO the editor:
The story in the Oregon Daily Emerald,
Tuesday, November 19, concerning my part in a
recent labor arbitration proceedings in Portland,
is misleading. When the reporter called upon me
for an interview, I talked to the reporter about
the interesting labor and economic issues involved
in the hearings. I suggested that if anything
were to be published concerning the hearings, I
hoped that the story would be based upon the
issues involved and not the personalities. The
reporter asked me if I thought both sides were
satisfied T»ith my award and I replied that ap
parently they were because representatives of
both sides stated that they would seek my ser
vices again if, in the future, they ever became
involved in another controversy. That is quite a
different thing from the statement in the paper
that I had been selected as permanent chairman
of an arbitration board.
I shall appreciate very much if you will pub
lish this letter as my correction of the story.
With best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
Wayne L. Morse.

TO the editor:
Recently you published editorials against
the proposed constitutional amendment as
placed on the ballot by the petition of 100 stu
dents. As I recall the amendment was for the
providance of an executive position on the execu
tive council for the independent student. As to
the desirability of the amendment, I believe that
the Emerald was correct in taking the stand
that it did. However T disagree violently with
- the expressed wish of the paper in wishing to
clean up politics.
Students on the campus like politics--they
like to work their heads off for a particular can
didate, they like the rally parades, the bonfires,
and the ballyhoo attendng an election. And as
to the alleged “dirt” in politics I believe that
there was little if any in the last election. Houses
do not vote for what they will get out of it as
much as for what they believe to be the best
candidate. And in my personal experience I have
found that people in the houses vote the way that
they want to without “being told what to do by
the upperclassmen.”
Ami even if the underclassmen were told what
to do it would be a good thing because most of
them do not think for themselves. They are not
acute, nor analytical about the candidates and
they must be told.
And I believe that the present system of
election is the best that ecu be provided and
that the Emerald should not try and change a
condition that is OK the way it now is.
Sincerely,
W. L.

graph lines. A half-dozen other
like instances were cited.
Capitalism must be credited with
having raised the productivity of
labor to a new high, Dr. Laidler
said, but it has failed to abolish
artificial scarcity, it has not as
sured plenty to its workers, and it
has not eliminated inequality of
wealth anti incomes. A mere one
tenth of one-percent of American
families are guaranteed an income
of $75,000 annually, he declared,
while 42 percent of the families get
$1500 per year or less. The total
incomes of the two groups are
about the same.
“It is absurd to tolerate a bank
rupt economic system, with in
creasing insecurity and general
misery," Dr. Laidler declared. "The
economic and natural resources of
our country were meant to belong
to the people as a whole, and
were not put here for the mighty
few. Let us socialize our industry
and realize the dormant potential
ities within us."
Corruption under socialism? It
vcill be a negligible feature, the
noted economist declared. Corrup
tion, he said, is an outgrowth of
huge accumulations of wealth
seeking special privilege. There is
much more graft and corruption in
business than in politics, Dr. Laid
ler added, citing examples of ln
: ull-like business tactics which, he
said, fleeced the public of millions
of dollars.
“To stop corruption we must do
away with the economic system
which offers something for noth
ing," the Doctor said. “We must
strip of respectability the bene
factors of this system which
teaches people to try to get some
thing for nothing.”
“Just as our forefathers were
challenged to advance production,
so we are challenged to develop
scientific planning which will
bring an equitable distribution of
wealth,” he said. “If we fail in
this America will drift into chaos.
“Students are more interested
tauu ever before, they art. uiobd
izing, but the time is short. Organ
izing is a pressing necessity in this
country if we are to bring about a
better society, and prevent a re
lapse into some type of fascism.”

Snakes Alive
We read about a chappie who has
been the keeper of the snake room
in the Philadelphia zoo for the last
38 years. With a job like that it
should be a cinch to be a teeto
taler.
Seriously, though, this man whc
should after 38 years, be an au
thority in his field explodes the
popular theory that rattlesnake
bites are necessarily fatal. Ac
cording to him, if you are in gooc
health and have a good heart you
have an even chance of surviving
a rattlesnake bite without medical
aid.
Furthermore, he claims that il
the venom is not injected into a
vein and if it comes from a norma'
size three or four foot rattier, a
normally robust person will recov
| er from the bite with nothing more
' to show for it than a splendid at
! tack of retching nausea.
That’s nice to know.

Here's what Larry Wolters,
radio editor of the Chicago Tribune
has to say about Jack Hylton’s
music. It is brief and to the point.
“The English excel in novelty
songs. Such gay, catchy tunes as
‘When Turpin Rode to York’ and
‘Tick Tock’ are a distinct relief
from the ‘goo and sirup’ of many
American ditties.
“Britishers fail when they at
tempt to play ‘hot’ American jazz
music. This they ought to leave to
Glen Gray’s Casa Loma orchestra,
Paul Whiteman, or if you must
have ‘hi-de-ho’ to Cab Calloway.”

LieutenantCommanderFrankHawks,

says: "I’ve been flying for 19 years
and smoking Camels almost as long.
i Making speed records tests the pilot
as well as his plane. Camels never
make me jumpy or bother my physi
cal 'condition’ in any way. As the
athletes say, Camels are so mild
i they don’t get the wind. And I’ve
found they never upset my nerves.
Camel must use choicer tobaccos.”
"Speaking of cigarettes, I make it
a rule to smoke Camels,” says Mrs.
T. Vi'. Kenyon, sportswoman pilot.
"They are the mildest cigarette!
Morning, noon, and night, I can
smoke Camels steadily. They never
upset my nerves. And each Camel
renews the zest and enjoyment of
the last one.”
"I appreciate the mellow flavor
of Camels,” says Sir Charles Kings
ford-Smith, the transpacific flyer,
in a recent interview. "Camels re
fresh me so when I'm fatigued,"
he continues, "and they are so mild
that 1 can smoke any number with
out throwing my nerves off key."

"I smoke Camels all I want,” says Col. Roscoe Turner (right),

Camels never tire my taste. A speed flyer uses up energy

a 'refill’ in energy —a new feeling of vim and well-being.”
