The, word "regimentation" is of military origin.

Owrstsy Taoajpsos a year ago oar economy- was in the depths ot a aerere - trepraaaioa or "re ceaaloa" as " we . evpheaalsUcally caUed it I think-there is no question it is now generally agreed that this depression was a' curtailment ot federal spend ing, pins other deflationary measures undertaken by the government. One most gather that - the government itself had been -listening to the opposition, which was painting large the menace of Inflation. . The opposition and others also criticised at that time the tax on undistributed profits as punitive, and held it partially responsible for stagnation.. Since then the tax on undis tributed profits has been reduce 1 to a mere shadow. The govern ment resumed deficit spending, undid Its strictures on reserve requirements and remonetized the previously sterilised gold., and production responded. a a a Now whether this was due to the credit policy, or the spend ing policy, or the taxation re form, the fact is that the re covery was of short duration. In the first quarter .f 1939 it was already hesitating. At the close of the quarter there was a sharp decline in stocks and there has been no notable "spring upturn" but a general sagging. There is much evidence that the halts in our economic recov ery are due to the disturbed international situation. The col lapse in the market in March. 1938 accompanied the occupation of Austria; the break In Sep tember, 1938 was synonymous with the Ciech crisis; the fall ot Barcelona in January corres ponded with another market break; and during the decline ot March, 1939 Bohe&aia and Memel were being occupied. That our economy in some measure, and Dossiblv In consid erable measure, is1 a reflection of deteriorated international relations seems Indicated and this in spite of the fact that our export trade has not relaxed but has maintained itself ex cellently, while financially we have been attracting European capital, and that capital has not been liquidated. a a a The facts do not speak well for all the criticisms of the ad ministration. The facts would seem to Indicate that too great importance has been attached by the opposition to the surplus profits tax. that a drastic re duction of government invest ment and spending did, and would bring about another re cession, and that tha constant advice to the president to leave Europe aione and to mind our own business Indicates that we do not always see Just where our business is. Had the president not made it very clearly known to the world that we were not disinter ested in the shock after shock emanating from Germany, it ia as nearly certain as anything can be that we would have had a Whole SUCCeS8lon Of WMVanit coups. Certainly Poland was on the list, and the date has at least been postponed undoubt edly due to the sudden rally of sometmng like world solidarity.
