KINSTEIN'S PLAN
' Deserting his abstractions, his theoretical profundities,
and his endless quest for knowledge of the infinite, Professor
Einstein, from whom the people have expected nuie ask
ance in the solution of mundane problems, turns for the
moment and gives his analysis of the present world-wide
economic distress. -
Such problems should be simple arithmetic to one who had
solved some of the deepest riddles of the universe. He beginfl
by rejecting most of the accepted theories. The causes,;in
his opinion, are not overproduction, national debts, dumping
of exports on creditor nations, or the loss of foreign markets.
His theory is that machinery is the root of all the trouble.
But he neither condemns nor forbids the use of machinery.
He places the responsibility upon the shoulders of the indus
trial system, blaming industrialists for not forming a plan
or program which would take these changing conditions into
account. . , ,'! e

"Jim Ham" already has Indicated
that ho will get oil to an early

that ho bo given tho space on the

pected to react favorably for the long
urged Umatilla rapids development
plan.

This resolution contemplates such '
Improvement as will make barge nav

to cost less than ei.000,000. This

Improvement is only a minor adjunct
of tho power development.'
Disapproval was also voiced of the
proposed development work on the
upper Columbia, above the mouth of
tho Snake. In addition to tho dec
laration that unneeded power would
be enveloped. It was argued that
"bringing new land under cultiva
tion' was n6t Justified at present.
"The Grand Coulee power and Ir
rigation project also involved a very
largo power development. It has
been estimated that a period of 25
years might elapse after the comple
tion oi the construction before the
entire power could be disposed of.
"The cost of Irrigation by this
project is high and It would be Im
possible to finance the project on
tho basis of returns from the sale
