STARTING A RACKET
The voters of various states will soon determine whether
ot' not the Eighteenth Amendment will be repealed. States
ivhich have acted Upon the tjuestioH thus fur havd favored
the rescission of the Prohibition Amendment. Therefore,
there ai-6 some people iii America, already looking ahead to
the large profits which have usually been made out of the
liquor business.
Congressman Celler, an aiiti-prbhibitlon Democrat from
New York, says that the supply of whiskey in this cdiintry
is insufficient if the ddrnand is released and that there will
he a world shortage in supplies when the American demand
Becomes effective, tie fears that a monopoly will be accom-
lished and says that one holding company has already ob-
; imned control Of more than half of the distillery capacityi
? Representative Celler does not like, the 'prospects of a
greedy trust raising the prices for its own profits and he
says.'' "I know that an effort is being made to Greats a IttOno
jpoly, in whiskey production,' and the wets of congress will
not stand for it. These forces shall go on further. Ungle
Sam holds the whip hand, and the whip will be laid across
any group that attempts to dominate this industry. I am
prepared td gd before the attorney general arid demarid action

PAR FROM CURED
The American people are being given the chance this sum-
HieK to make One of the most colossal1 mistakes imaginable
; Business is reviving more rapidly than we had thought pos
' Bible. Factory chimneys are smoking agaiii) trainB are mov
ing, men are going back to work; arid the very speed with
: .which all of this is happening carries with it a danger wh(cli
i is very real even if it is not obvious.
Our chance to make a mistake lids simply ih this: becnuso
; tilings are picking Up so rapidly, wo may conclude that the
alterations which have been outlined for our inherited econ
omic framework are unnecessary. Wo may, in other wordsi
delude ourselves into thinking that the "normal processes"
, of business- recovery will put people buck' to work, restore
buying power and bring back prosperity unaidedi
According to the classical theories of economics, that is
precisely what Ought to happen. But already it is becoming
evident that unless our industrial machine is held under
jtstrict arid Intelligent control; we shall merely be gathering
momentum for a new plunge into the ditch. And otlo mora
plunge, would, j list about finish tho machine, and its riders
lis well,.
,. The successful working of our traditional system depends
entirely on the imjikstus supplied by the profit motive In the
last few weeks tiie profit motive has impelled industry to
. adopt certain tactics which must inevitably betray any re
covery which is made.
,; Retail prices are rising faster than wngosi Production is
outstripping employment. Manufacturers are hurrying to
pile up surplus stores of goods lieforc higher wages go into
effect. The diehards arc preparing to fight organized labor.
Tho business pickup has-caused certain industries to grow
cold on the industrial control plait.
Now these developments do not indict the individuals re
sponsible; they indict the traditional economic system Under
which those individuals have to ojterate. They reveal in it
flaws which must be fatal unless they are corroded. If we
let ourselves be persuaded that the depression is going to
, end automatically, so that these correctives are not needed,
we shall have nothing but trouble. We need to romomU-r
every minute that the dawning recovery cannot be perman
ent or healthy unless a very real 'restraint is put upon tho
scramble for profits.
The test of Mr. Roosevelt's greatness will rest upon the
pocketbook' balance of tho average American citizen in l'KSG.
Newspaper publishers would like to catch the guy who
started the Idea it doesn't cost anything to print a newspaper.

To ttie Open Court:
In regard to articles In the lorun
of tho Observer by Mr. Ruby, I wish
to offer some comment. While It is
true, as he chargca tliat many mem
bers of tlie railroad Brotherhoods are
working excessive hours or miles
while many of their members are out
of work, this Is the exception rather
than tho rule. Speaking on this mat
ter for the B. of L. P. and E. which
Is the fireman's organization, I wish
to say that tlie firemen acting locully
on each seniority district have placed
reduced mileage rules into etect,
thereby drastically reducing their
former earnings. In spite of this, we
have many many thousands of mem
bers and former members furloughed
from railroad service. Mr. Ruby says
tlie world has gone mad with ma
terialism and seems to think the hu
man race Is reverting to the law of
the jungle, or survival of tho fittest.
It Is true that the insecurity of tlie
worker under an insane economic
system has driven many of thosw-still
employed mad with- fear. Fear for
the future and. for the welfare of
their families and loved ones. They
have seen thousands of their kind
thrown out on the scrap heap. Is It
any wonder they will mako hay while
the sun shines if allowed to do so?
This Is not duo to thet Inherent self
ishness of human nature as many
will tell you, but should be blamed
upon a system which 'has become a
great destroying monster feeding up
on tlie lives and happiness of human
beings.
Do tho millions who are thrown
out of a livelihood by the machine,
place tho blame where it rightly ne-
-longs? In most cases no, they are
bewildered, and I will venture to say
that ninety per cent of thorn have
embraced and advocated a political
and economic systetil of which- they
are now tlie victims. At least most
of them are still men enough to feel
resentment and; they strike out blind
ly and Immediately attack their fel
low workmen who were fortunate
enough to retain employment, even
If at a mere pittance. They have
suddenly become advocates of "divid
lng up." Their idetv seems-to bv, let
us all starve togother. The writer
belongs to a school of political and
economic thought whose spokesmen
have warned' tho people tlmo and
time again that the Industrial sys
tem they upheld would bring our fair
nation to ruin. Well, it lias nearly
done so and will yet' do so unless tho
Workers of both hand And brain Or
ganize and uso their political and
economic might to prevent it. We, of
my school have beon called "prophets
of gloom" and "iesslmjsts" but wo
have had many shining examples of
the unselfishness of man and we still
have ml til in tho innate goodness of
liuman nature, which' would bo
brought out under a better environ
ment. We still believe that tlie world
does move and wo have hitched our
wagon to a star arid our vision IS
tho vision of Ingot-soil who said, "A

tho gibbets shadow does not fail; a
world where work and worth go hand
in huntl, whero tlie poor girl, trying
to win bread with a needle, Is nob

WASHINGTON () How well
could the rest of the' world got along
without the United States?
Tho economist sees that question
linked to tho consideration of the
commercial advantages accruing to
foreign nations that buy American
goods.
Leading American commodities the
world would have difficulty in doing
without and their 193a volume and
value arc:
Meat products, animal oils nnd fats
8040 lb.t-$34,733,000; canned frtilts
and vegetables, 200.150, lbs., $10,887,-
000; apples, 6.040,000 bbls., $22,417.
000; raw tobacco. 411,150.000 lbs. $65,
002,000;' rnw cotton. 4,803.000,000 lbs
$846,165,000; snwed timber, boards,
plunks, etc.. 1,182,000,000 b. ft., $26,
103,000; petroleum and products,
85, 787,000 bbls. $170,639,000; motion
picture films, 274.984,000 Hn. ft
$0,317,000; agricultural machinery,
18.064 implements. $3,881,000; motor
vehicles; 71,401 In number, $35,322.-
000.
From the c'omcsttc standpoint,
dwindling exports since 1920 and the
anxiety of the London economic
conference over international trade
barriers has raised the question of
this country's future place in com
merce. Charts by the department of
agriculture show that in 1932 there
were only 15 cargo ships cn route to
Europe for overy 20 before the war
and every 77 during the 1920 peak.
It was said at the department of
commerce, thnt last year's volume nnd
Items of export probably represented
the lowest point to which foreign na
tions could cut their American pur
chases without making expensive sub
stitutions or paying higher prices
elsewhere,
Elmlnntion of the gold clause In
contracts and depreciation of the
dollar to a purchasing power more
In line wlth foreign exchange has
miijle American products cheaper In
terms of International currencies.
Increased pxports were aimed at in
the revaluation.
Artificial manipulation of trade,
economists hold, has walled up want
in most importing countries and
burdensome surpluses In exporting
countries.
Germany, once a chief market for
American lard, has a virtual embar
go on the product because of an im
port tax approximating $10 per hun
dred weight.
The Idea Is to protect the German
producer, but trade reports say the
country Is short of supplies, paying
comparatively prohibitory prices or
using substitutes.
When Liverpool was flooded with
60-cent wheat continental Europeans
were paying around $1.50 a bushel
for their native product and the
United States went out of the export
column.
The United States la the world's
best source for cotton. At times the
American product has beeh cheaper
in snungna man t'nincse cotton.
Yet. any country placing some -other
at.te above commercial expediency
could get nlong wthout it. Linen
could be substituted In the flax
growing Europrnti countries while
Eypt, India , and Brnall aould hi
crease cotton itcrcage if .. Importers
were wiuing to pay nigner prices.
A corollary cited at the depart
ment of commerce would be bann
nas grojvn under glass in Maine to
retail at $10 apiece.
Forty countries purchased 4,803(-
000.000 pounds of American cotton
or $845,15.00 last year , 15 of them
taking more than, $1,000,000 each
ahd the 7' leading importers account
ing in volume and value for:
Japan 1,173.064.288 lbs. $85,545,115
Germany 020,268,704 87,373,267

433.711.9l8
371,759.374

Aside from consumer burden when
n country's imports are turned from
a nor'mal source of supply is the
question of unbalanced international
settlements. Imports nrtd exports
cannoWw divorced in economic equil
ibrium.' Economists reiterate tho view that
one country cannot buy from another,
unless it sells It enough or has a
sufficient investment in its securities
to provide payment in terms of Its
currency.
Brazil, for Instance, depends oh
corfee exports for about 60 per cent
of the product. Assuming no other
trade developments, an embargo on
Brazilian coffee would deprive that
country or the American dollar
credits normally balanced against
purchases of United States products.
A real Round-Up daughter whose

WASHINGTON President Roose
velt, back home in Washington now,
heartily enjoys telling about the time
he eluded) the newspapermen assign
ed to cbver his cruise up the coast
to Cnmpobcljo.
. , His description dwells on tho ex
citement on the press boat the morning-
he slipped quietly away In the
fog to replenish the water supply
on the Amber Jack II.
It was but natural that Mr. Roose
velt would enjoy that little episode.
He has his own Ideas about spend
ing a vacation. And one Is, that presl.
dent or not he wants to bo free
from observation.
Mr. Roosevelt's by-weekly confer
ences with newspapermen at the
White House are Just about the most
ihtlmato and friendly affairs one can
imagine.
But wheh he gathers his sons
about him and slips out to sen on
sailing boat hc wants to be left
alone.

advisers on the subject arc of no

Mr. Roosevelt has succeeded very
well so lar In this respect. The'
cruise that, he male with his sons
In the yawl immediately following
his election was almost wholly free
from close-up news. And when It Is
considered that he had Just won
such a smashing victory, the fact
that he ccaild so completely detach
hlmielf from the public is all the
more remarkable.
The same thing' was true when he
went cruising in Florida, waters Just
before his inauguration. At a time
when the nation and the world were:
awaiting announcements of cabinet
selections arid' future presidential
policies, he managed to hide himself
almost completely at sea.'
And on his latest cruise, despite
his being followed by the press, lit
tle more than surface happenings
aboard the Amberjdck II came to
light.
Nothing' Stops Mm
Those who have known Mr. Roose
velt' for years marvel at his ability
to get so completely away from the
things that engage his attention. It
requires a certain daring to leave the'
White House for a vacation cruise'
as he cld this last- time, with the
London economic conference lh ses
sion and the vast relief agencies at
home just being set up.
But he sailed away with his sons,
apparently detached ftom the whole
scene: Actually: of course, he was In
contact when he desired;
His ability to do such thlnes has
helped to preserve his health and
strength. And what that power may
mean io uim as tne burdens of the
(residency cohtlnus to pile up on
him canont be foretold.
