' . t Saving and Spending ' LEWIS W DOUGLAS served as a lieutenant in France, as congressman from Arizona for several terms, and as di rector of the budget under Franklin D. Roosevelt He resign ed when he disagreed; with the fiscal policies of the present . administration. Douglas is a graduate of Amherst, experien , ced in mining and in business in his home state. In an article in the September 'Atlantic he throws a direct challenge to ' those who would spend their way out of the depression. Its , title is : "There is one way out", and the sub-title : "Saving . , not spending, will bring reemployment" Douglas bores straight into the theory that recovery will come if people will only loosen their purse-strings and buy more merchandise: -'-.-: The frantic exhortation of the public to spend more money Is presumably based upon the belief that the consumption of goods by individuals has declined severely, and must be in creased If we are to achieve economic recovery. The actual facts do not snnnort that contention " . " He then goes on to show r J AT M - 11 . uucuun oi wnai is canea consumer goods aid not lail oil very -T" .

While income declined prices also de- - : clined and consumption of these goods was very heavy. But with ''heavy goods," like machinery, locomotives, building 'materials, the decline was precipitate, consumption falling off 65 per cent The principaljinemployment as CoL Leonard Ayres, Cleveland economist, has frequently pointed out, has been in the heavy goods industries. Ayres has insisted that if the heavy goods industries could be revived their increase in employment would soon put back to work all the others in the other lines of service and industry. ' ": : Speeding up the buying of consumer's goods will not end the depression, says Douglas, because existing factories can ' easily take care of the increased demand. What is needed is the spending of money or rather the investing of money in , capital plants which will provide employment in the steel and , metal trades. This comes out of savings. While the individual ' may not invest his money directly in industry, he does in w directly through his savings bank, his insurance company, .- etc.- - - "Savings do not represent boarded money, whicii brings the i: t community no benefits. Savings are spent not necessarily by the saver, but .by others who borrow his surplus or in whose business the saver's funds are invested either by him or by Insti tutions acting te his behalf. Thus, a nation's savings do not rep resent sterile, static factor in its economy, but. rather, an ex ceedingly dynamic one. Moreover savings, when invested, are not , usually spent tor. goods which are immediately consumed. They . rePent for goods which in turn produce more goods and more wealth which enriches the community as a whole." So Douglas goes on to say : u "The freatest employing power In our society has always . been this thing we call savings. The availability or sufficient savings in the past has permitted the expansion of old Industries ; and the creation of new ones, and over a long period of years . Jef,ultd in tremendous increases in the number of people gamiully employed. Under our competition system, the result has ,.; beea better goods at lower prices. This trend over a long period pi years was responsible lor tbe gmt improvement In the Ameri- can standard of living." - This contribution to the literature of depressions and - l?VP ought to be stimulating to those folks who liave kept their feet on the ground and maintained the virtue of thrift and savings in this welter of extravagance and waste. What is good for the individual is good also for the nation. The president in his haste to be able to say that all the . unemployed are off the relief Tolls is giving Harry Hopkins X. uu.c to syeea up xne oia uwa spending machine. Thisproves no real relief, merely temporary employment Secretary Ickes favors construction projects which may not give so many man-hours of labor on the job, but which will stimulate employment all through the heavy goods indus tries. General Hugh Johnson, now running the relief adminis teation in New York, has said that his work is futile because when the money is gone the need will remain. , - There is need for more of the Douglas conception of eco- , nomrcs, of the need for savings and for the investment of those savings in capital plants. There is plenty of need for Plant rehabilitation. Raymond, Moley is quoted as estimating the replacement demand alone at nineteen billions of dollars. .Given a little financial health the railroads alone could in vest several billions in modernizing their rolling stock. This talk i the technocrats that all the jobs have been - done is sffly. Under wise economic leadership the country will show great expansion and progress in the next quarter . century. But it will require the sayings of the multitudes to finance the plant that will be required. A Good Start WHEN the city council moved to revoke licenses to opera tors of marble boards, punch boards, dart games, etc., it ' oodstart in the direction of a clean-up of bad local conditions. There is really no compromise between gambling and half-gamblinsr as most of these devices are. They suck pe money of the weakest members of the community, those . least able to afford losses. Most of the games are rigged to prevent the sucker jetting a fair run for his money. . the cwanP should not stop there. Operating in the city without interference are two or three houses of ill fame Jfceir presence is known to the police and to the city council! Their continuance is reputed to be favored by the same inter ests connected in gossip with the gambling racket. Narcotic peddling is also reputed to be carried on in some resorts.

The Great Game of Politics . ; : By FRANK R. KENT CepxHgfct 193S. by The BtlUmere lea Potato Controt-No. .2 i Washington, Sept! 17. THE reason, despite signs of re volt, lack of funds, .due to fail ure of the deficiency- bill, and axr., .wauace's own inner mis givings, the AAA - shortly will p n t into effect the new and extremely drastie Potato Control law, is because It has to. It has no choice but to go ahead. THE point has I been, reached where- potato ww yvtaiu control Is essential. to the whole a a a . . . AAA program. Either they hare to make it work or . nothinr works. It is a perfect illustra tion of the "one step follows the other" troth. In the beeln ning AAA started to limit only one soutnern crop otton. Later tobacco was added. The cotton and tobacco farmers cut down production, accepted their bon uses, but particularly in North Caroline turned their unused acreage into peanuts. This caused a glut In the peanut mar ket, reduced tbe nrice and threat ened the peanut industry, which is a oig one. IN February, 1934, the AAA had to add peanuts to the crops it must control. A limit was put upon the amount of peanuts which could be raised. At once the North Carolina farmers, with more idle acres than ever, went heavily into potatoes. The result was a glut la the potato market an over the country and disast rous oepression in potato nrices At once potato control became imperative, although, of course. it had not been contemplated. Few had foreseen that rnttnn control would drive the farmers into tobacco tobacco control drlTe them into peanuts, peanut' con trol drive them into potatoes. TET that Is what happened. Starting out with the declared purpose of controlling three crops oniy, aaa now has extended con trol over fourteen. What croo will come next no -one knows, but the fact that, in the end, unless the supreme court, before the el ection, or the TOters. at the -eta. tion, put an end to this exneri- ment, ultimately all crops will come under their turn. As Sen ator King, of Utah, said in the senate, "We may expect next ses- tion to find measures to bring Other commodities nnder control carrots, cabbages, lettuce, to matoes and all kinds of fruits and vegetables." SATS Mr. Mark Sullivan, "The process canno.t stop with the farm. Once restriction is put upon farm crops, it most be put on articles that compete with farm crops. Alreadr AAA has pat restrictions on paper towels and jute bags. Soon there wUl be restrictions on silk and rayon. It must go on until there is price fixing of every commodity and ul timately wage fixing in every area of life. AAA, if it is kept, will ultimately do everything at tempted by NRA." Prof. Lionel bobbins is even more emphatic "Once," he says, "governments start to control important branch es of industry, if they are not willing at some pojnt to reverse their policy, there is no stop short of complete socialism." IT IS Impossible to review the step after step taken by AAA since it started without being im pressed by the views quoted above. And it is impossible to read the potato control amend ment without appreciating that this is one of the most radical measures ever enacted by con gress. It means not only that every farm can raise only the amount of potatoes allotted him by AAA but cannot sell them except in the stamped containers preseribed. The compulsion club is the tax imposed for raising more than the allotment 45 cents a bushel, which is confis catory. The penalties are amaz ingly severe $1000 fine for the iirst oriense, and imprisonment not more than a ve.r far the second. VARIOUS thoughts arise a one reflects upon potato control. One is that the difficulties of enforc ing such a law on 3.000.000 in divlduals are bound to be im mense; another that It will oDen the door for the potato boot legger and afford a fine field for snoopers and informers; another is mat tuts is a long stride to ward that nationalism which Vr Wallace once denounced, where there would be a government poster on every plowed field and a license for every farmer; and. finally, that If the full implica tions oi aaa and the goal to ward which it Is taking us are once thoroughly grasped there will be a tremendous and violent reaction. Those who haye given it most thefh are convinced there is more potential danger to our institutions in it than in all tne rest of the New Deal com bined.

Jl HENDRICKS ' - OnaVer teacher risked her - life' in giving Sheridan Up for enochal battles of war: " Tictoriet that led to its end: .. : f CVinrlndftir from yesterday :"V The writer said in this ' column yesterday that Generals Sheridan and Ord - commanded brigades close together at the surrender of Lee at Appomattox court bouse April 9. 1865. These commanders, who had known each other in their Indian fighting and handling days in Oregon, worked together to bring about that great event It is a lone story, not to be elab orated here, but in some future issue a few of the outstanding cir cumstances wUl be briefed. When Sheridan went from the Shenandoah valley to loin firant i iu puuia$ w uai iirj uu(wu aut hexpected to be the finishing toach I . m in putting what they hoped and es ta the Civil war. he fSherlda.nl was anxious to have with him the commanders and the men who had fought under his orders the successful engagements that had made that valley safe for the first time since Fort Sumter was fired upon. Among his favorite generals was George Crook, after whom Crook county was named; for he too fought Indians in this state. S S Another of his favorite generals was George A. Custer. Both of these commanders were with Sher idan in the campaign that led to the - surrender of Lee. and their dash and bull dog tenacity were needed, for they faced in the last days some of the most desperate fighting of the whole war. S The writer wonders how many readers recall or ever knew that it was to General Custer, fighting directly under Sheridan s com mand, that the Confederate flatr of truce was brought And that the flag of truce was a crash towel. To General Custer the towel afterward came as a present from Sheridan, and to Custer's wife a present of the small table on which Grant had written the terms of surrender. Said Sheridan of Custer, commenting on the nar- ticulars of the surrender: "J know of no one whose efforts have contributed more to this hap py result than those of Custer." S Few readers of this column do not know that it was the same General George A. Custer who lost his life and that of his whole com mand, slaughtered by the ruth less Sioux Indians at the battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876. Perhans few readers are aware of the fact that the grandfather of General Custer was a Hessian soldier, hired by the British to against our forefathers in tne war of the Revolution. But a great many of the Hes sian (German) soldiers remained in the United States to become oa- triotic citizens and the progenitors of many leaders of American life. A biorranher wrote of General Custer that his pursuit of Lee's army in the first days of April, 1865, was his greatest glory. He was all the time under the direct orders of Sheridan. e "General Sheridan,' the splen did book ot Gen. H. E. Davies. said, in Its closing chapter on Lee s surrender: n "When the moraine lieht of the 9th of Anril was sufficient to Her mit the movement of troops, the Confederate line advanced. Not caring to incur more loss than was absolutely needful, and learn ing that the infantry, which had Just reached the ground, was forming in his rear. General Sher idan directed the cavalry lines to rail back slowly, skirmishing suf ficiently to prevent a ranid ad vance of the enemy. The infantry formation being completed. Gen eral Sheridan ordered that the two divisions of the cavalry be moved by the flank to the right. and at this movement the rebel lines cheered wildly and redonhled their fire, for to them it appeared that the troops opposing their march had been driven off, and that at last the road to Lvnchburr lay open and clear before them. "'But for one instant did this exultation last, for as the cavalry disappeared? from their front Lee's troops saw massed before them the heavy lines- of two strong corps of infantry prepared for and awaiting an attack.
