satisfactory condition and
remedV:
The primary reason for the economic failure of the New Deal
roes beyond detailed errors In legislation, administration and the
selection f federal personnel. It lies to the fact that the New
Deal leadership has almost completely misunderstood economic
America.
The economic program of the New Deal, despite sporadic
reversals of policy, has rested essentially on the control of pro
duction, the creation of scarcity, and the boosting of prices. At
the Urn of the century, this was the nrerlse program of the least
enlightened leadership of Mr business.
Liberalism fourht this nrogram then. But. by some strange
twist of thlnkinr. these policies which were attacked as reaction
ary and as a threat to the we"-beinr of the peonle. when followed
by big business then, are defined by the New Deal leadership as
liberal and as essential Instruments of social progress, when fol
lowed by big Government now. We sre. as a result, again faced
with the problem of unduly centralised political power.
The New Deal phllosonhy of restricting production and rais
ing prices Is bound to operate as a brake on the revival and ex
pansion of enterprle under a hieh-nowered system. This should
have been obvious from the beginning. Now the New Deal record
pats It beyond dispute.
No leadershln can produce a movement of hope if it begins
with the assumption that the clock of the national economy is
running down, that Its mechanism has become bo faulty that It
can be kept going only If continuously run by hand the hand of
the Federal Government.
And no leadership, bellevin this, could be expected to do
- other than the New Deal leadership has done, namely, to turn its
attention to redistributing the fruits of existing enterprise rather
than to ways and means of exparrMng the nation's enterprise.
Under such phllosonhy and such policies, each economic group
business, labor, agriculture, and so on must. In self-defense, go
after a larger and larrer share of les and less. This cannot but
mean. In the end, a stagnation of the nation's enterprise and di
minished well-being for all these groups of producing Americans.
Now for the positive aonroach :
The committee Is convinced, not by wishful thinking or blind
optimism, but by the facts it has assembled and analyzed, that
American enterprise can expand more, offer more Investment op
portunities for savings, provide more Jobs for workers in fac
tories and on farms, and create more profitable outlets for the
energies of the people generally in the next 25 years than it did
in the 25 years before 1929. if too many hurdles are not thrown
la lt path by either the public policies of government or the pri
vate policies or Business. . .
The program committee's soundings of party opinion indi
cates that republicans believe. . . full employment can be accom
plished only through the sustained expansion of the normal en
terprise of the American people. . .
The committee's soundings. . . further reveal that republi
cans believe the Imperative prerequisite of such expansion lies
la revitalising the American combination of political liberty and
private enterprise which has produced and distributed more ma
terial benefits for more people In a shorter time than any other
system In history.
The starting point of sound economic policy for the nation at
this particular Juncture is. therefore, a fact-based realization that
the private economy of America has not come to a dead end. has
not been stricken with creeping paralysis, but Is crowded with
possibilities of fruitful growth and profitable expansion, and
that these possibilities will be more surely and quickly realized
ander a regime that accords to men the largest freedom In their
enterprises consistent with the safeguarding and serving of the
common Interest.
There is much more in the committee's report, and some
details will become controversial before the national conven
tion opens in PhiladelDhia. June 24. But the portion quoted
above Is the kernel of the reoort and of the program and it
cannot be controversial within the renublican partv; it will
have to stand substantially as it is. The party will have to
stand upon it. That is its analysis of the problem, and that is
fU solution. What is more to the point, the nation will have
to stand or fall depending urxn whether that solution is sound
and adequate. No other solution has been offered. All that the
new deal has to offer is four more years of "the same."
tven if the republican solution is sound, at this point it
may no longer be adequate. The new deal has gotten us into
a deep hole. Getting out, even with the rieht formula, is go
ing to be tough. But the republicans do offer a formula. It is
a formula based upon hooe. And it does offer hope.
Move on Propaganda
So much has been said on the subject of propaganda in
news so much, indeed, as almost to outbulk the news hotly
suspected of propaganda itself that at this writing any fur
ther observations would seem unnecessary if not outright
inaproDOs. Yet having said that by way of introduction we
are nothing loath to cite an article which follows, from the
editorial columns of the New York Herald-Tribune, as one of
the best statements of the position of the reader and inter
preter of European news which we have yet run across.
It deals primarily with the difficulty of interpreting
vents In southeastern Europe when scraps of rumor about
potential Russian collapse, the beginning of "something big
In March or April in the Near East, and of discord between
Italy and the Allies are the only bits of evidence on which to
form an opinion. It says :
Unfortunately, the signs no longer really mean anything.
Now that press reports and opinions are turned on and off. In '
; most cou a tries, by the pull of a lever and for the most obscure
reasons, their evidential value become almost nil; and bow that
every slightest more la calculated for its effect, the moves are
rapidly ceasing to hare any Intelligible effect at all. The observer
finds himself back In the parable of Plato's care. We sit with onr
backs to the sunlight of reality, watching the succession of sha

Chapter 8
She went to school on the bus
now. She was just one of the
mob. She was only 15, and her
heart was broken, her faith In
the world destroyed.
That next year was a blank to
Linda. Things happened but not
to her.
There was something about
Lawrie and a girl and Bert and
he wrangled bitterly over It.
night after night. Claudine's
stepson. Junior, got pneumonia
and almost died. Claudlne nursed
him through It and then she was
ill and had a little, premature
baby, a poor wizened up little
thing with a face like a tired old
man, and presently It died and
everyone worried about Claudlne.
Linda was sorry for Claudlne,
too, but It all seemed very re
mote and unreal. Imagine marry
ing Chester Barton and living In
a cheap flat, with that little
rowdy of a Junior Jumping all
over the furniture and having a
lot of crying babies and diapers
and coveralls drying all over the
place? How could Claudlne ex
pect any luck when she was
such a fool?
Linda herself would have no
such life. She was full of plans
that year. Deep In something or
otner all the time. Nobody un
derstood her and everyone picked
on her just because she did a
lot of thinking and planning and
didn't keep her mind on certain
silly school subjects and couldn't
get excited over stupid gossip
and things the family raved
about.
'It's been so long since I went
through this mooning-calf stage
with the others. I declare I can't
believe they were ever that bad
her mother complained. "Clau
dlne was always a sensible little
thing, and Blanche had such high
marks In school!"
Linda listened, sullenly. She
thought, you'll be sorry some
day! You'll all be sorry.
Her father's babying her and
Grandma Prologne's everlasting
cheerfullness, In a world In
which nothing went right, Irri
tated her almost as much as her
mother's complaints.
Oh, if I could just skip all this
and be grown up and inde
pendent, she thought bitterly.
Her bones ached with rebellion
and waiting. Her pillow was of
ten wet at night. Nobody knew
how she suffered, how hard It
was for her at school, with the
girls that had nearly broken
their necks to be nice to her
when Constance was there, ig
noring her now.
It was a hard year for Linda
and the family who had to live
with her.
Then summer came. Summer
and vacation and sticky, oppres
sing heat. It was the hottest
summer anyone remembered. The
boys complained irritably. Mrs.
Perry lay on her sofa In the
darkened room, and even Grand
ma Pologne's song; ceased.
But Linda came to life.
Constance was. home.
The same Constance, harem
scarem, devil-may-care as ever,
not changed a bit.
"Come oa over!" she tele
phoned, the first morning.
Linda almost ran.
She stayed for lunch and after

she used to in Connie's house.
"We missed you," Mrs. Scott
said. "Why didn't you ever some

She laughed as she said It, but
she looked as If she meant It.
and Linda thought, why didn't I?
And already the bleak, unhappy
year seemed remote, unreal.

Loiters from Statesman Readers
To the Editor:
An editorial appearing In the
"Statesman" of February 4, quot
ing an editorial taken from the
"Independence Enterprise," states
the following. "The present con
gress is taced with a great oppor
tunity. That opportunity Is to put
statesmanship above politics."
The "Statesman" commenting
on tnu editorial or tne ".Enter
prise" says, "it expects too much
of democracy. The members ot
congress may nope tney win be
able to combine statesmanship
with politics. And If they must
abandon one or the other, It won't
be politics." The "Enterprise"
does not suggest "ABANDONING
politics," but suggests "putting
statesmanship ABOVE politics and
many members of congress not
only HOPE to "combine states
manship with politics" but are
putting statesmanship ABOVE
politics, and in doing so will not
be obliged to abandon politics.
To be sure statesmanship and
politics are closely allied. Accord
ing to i'Webster," a statesman is
one who is skilled in public af
fairs, and the art of government.
The definition of politician is "one
who acts solely for the interests
of a single party."
There you have the difference
between "statesmanship" and "po
litics." Now as to how many con
gressmen are putting statesman
ship above politics, according to
the Associated Press, "On Feb
ruary 2 Senator Sheridan Down
ey of California Introduced the
new Townsend bill." This bill,
when enacted Into law, will bring
natlonsl recovery to business and
labor, and is practically the same
as the one Introduced In congress
last year.
Now to prove that many mem
bers of congress are putting
statesmanship above politics. Any
congressman who endorses and
rotes for the Townsend bill,
(there were 101 last year) is put
ting statesmanship above politics!
and the thousands of Townsend
believers In Oregon, (173,000 of
them, against 149,000 who did
not favor the bill, showing a ma
jority of 34,000) and the millions
more In the United States as well
as the congressmen who support
it, are stressing statesmanhlp
above politics! The Independence
Enterprise has well said. "Con
gress is raced witn a great oppor
tunity," and all true Townsend-
ltes are throwing their influence
into the Townsend movement
without regard for party, for they
hare come to see party does not
get them anything, although they
are registered as democrats and
republicans.
They are statesmen for they are
trying to upbuild government.
not party as politicians do!
The Townsend bill when enact
ed into law will prove that Doc
tor Townsend is one of the great
est statesmen America has ever j
known.

Constance signed for.
Ruth Wagner joined them,
gushing with Constance, a little
sheepish with Linda. Linda
wanted to fly at her, she wanted
to scream, "After the way
you've treated me all year, do
you think you can get away with
this?" But something restrained
her, something, she didn't know
what, held her back.
Whenever Ruth came, Mrs.
ocott drawled, "So nice to see
you all together again. Why
don't you go and get little Thel
ma and make it complete?"
They all knew that Thelma
was changed, that she wasn't
even happy with them anymore,
but ft was a grand way to get
even with Ruth and the Wag
ners. Linda admired Mrs. Scott pas
sionately. Everything about her.
Even the things that she knew
weren't considered nice; Suppose
she did do the things that people
said she did drink too many
cocktails, flirt with other wo
men's husbands, laugh and listen
to Questionable stories, live a use
less, pampered life? She had a
good time, didn't she? She was
always lovely and poised end
kind, wasn't she? Well, what
more could anyone ask?

days at a time, visiting, and came

News Behind
Bt PAUL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 A
fresh inside report oa the
crumbling taternal economy of
Japan bee reached the front
offices of the state depart
meat. It pierced the censor
ship and cannot be made pub
lic bat may explain a lot of
coming events here including
State Secretary Hull's disin
clination to approve the pro
posed senate embargo.
Gravest Japanese deficiency of
the moment Is in coal. Leading
manufacturing plants in the
thvee largest cities had to be
hut down 14 hours a day for
two weeks recently. A long
drought cut hydro-electric pow
er production in half, causing
Industry to need 2,000,000 more
tons of coal annually, and this
cannot be obtained. The miners
are awav to war in China and
Manchurian plants are Increas
ingly absorbing production there.
The deficiency may or may
not be enough to break Japan.
The report does not say. But
Mr. Hull may find ground In
It for assuming a position against
the embargo, thus leaving the
United States free to Impose
countervailing duties and further
import restrictions as diplomatic
necessity arises.
LEADER: Senator Vanden
berjc was regarded as likeliest
choice for the republican pres
idential nomination among na
tional committeemen and wom
en who should know best.
Prevailing Vandenberg opin
ion among them was shown at
a dinner-table consensus of a
dosen newsmen, some one of
whom had talked with each
member. But the committee
crowd was not at all sure the
Michigan senator would get It.
They were afraid of Dewey,
whom they call "the Dick Tracy
candidate." They reported the
people In their localities seemed
less afraid of Dewey's youth and
total lack of executive exper
ience than they were.
NOBLESSE OBLIGE: The
wise political men of the con
gressional cloakrooms accept
General Farley s entry in Mas
sachusetts as intervention for
Roosevelt, and are telling this
story:
The democratic chairman Is
supposed to have gone to the
president and said substantially:
"I see you are not entered in
Massachusetts."
The president Is being quoted
as replying:
"I don't know anything about
it, Jim."
"Well, you can't beat some
body with nobody. Do you object
if I enter?"
"Why no, Jim, go right
ahead."
The tale, not substantiated by
direct confirmation. Is neverthe
less apparently entitled to cred
ence In view of the similar In
ference In the published tele
gram by Massachusetts State
Chairman William H. Burke.
CAREFUL: Senator Wheel
er's announcement that he
wanted no part, pro or con,
of the third term fight in the
primaries, is being misinter
preted as a break from his
friend. Jack Garner, the vice
president. Wheeler made the
decision merely to play bis
maximum chances. He has not
sufficient strength to contest
successfully against the presi
dent, and did not want to cast
away the nomination by a
hopeless contest.
Garner and Wheeler are still
friends, although their political
amicability has been greatly
over- emphasized. Recent pub
lished Quotes Implying Mr. Gar
ner might eventually favor
Wheeler were based on a flip
pant conversation between the
VP and the senator a year ago.

Today's News
MALLON
bill to set np a strong Judicial
mediation service for capital and
labor Is an administration move
but how far it will go, no
body knows.
Senator Wagner may have
pushed it np front at this time
to shoo some flies off his own
baby, NLRB. Whether the meas
ure will be pressed for adoption
this session is yet undecided.
Some new deal politicians want
to throw all labor Issues over
until after election If they can
get away with It.
Author of the Wagner Idea is
Dr. John R. Steelman, strongly
successful director of the exist
ing conciliation service in the
labor department. His depart
ment Is recognized everywhere as
the most efficient of administrat
ive bureaus. No one will oppose
the needed Steelman project, but
Wagner's plan apparently Is to
keep NLRB functioning slmul
taneously without material
change which stand may com
plicate the outcome ot the legis
lation. BARTER FLOP: Britain is
not living np to her cotton
rubber barter deal with the
I'nited States. No announce
ments are being made here or
elsewhere, but she has shipped
us a bare 2630 tons of the
promised 87,000 tons of rub
ber. This was the total import
recorded np to February 1 and
some of it apparently was
not up to standard.
United States Is doing fairly
well with its end. We shipped
160,000 bales ot cotton In the
same period of a promised 600,-
000 bales.
The war, of course, has Im
peded Britain's shipments. She
has already extended her time
limit frpm March to June and is
seeking another extension.
