Deficit Spending "Cure" for Deflation
Norman Thomas, moderate socialist leader in the United
States, and perpetual candidate for president, says that
"economics as practiced in the United States is a useful art
but not a science, certainly not in the sense that astronomy
or physics is a science. If astronomical predictions were as
uncertain and inaccurate as economic predictions time
could scarcely march on. Witness some recent economic
predictions."
Thomas reviews some of the recent predictions of the
majority of the professional economists. They predicted
after World War II the trend in the United States would
be deflational and it was dubious to talk about "60 million
Jobs." Instead we got intlatnii and Jul. employment.

In other words, deficit spending is necessary to prevent
or cure depression and presumably the "pump priming"
must be on an enormous scale, the greater the debt the
more the prosperity which is the essence of the New
Deal. And if there is no war as an excuse for spending,
there is, of course, the "welfare state."

HyT Police are looking for two youths who climbed a Brooklyn
bridge tower last night, did some stunt work 300 feet above the
East river and disappeared.
They were seen by a taxi driver and Patrolman Alex
Banish.
"I looked ap and rubbed by eyes," Banish said. "I couldn't
believe it."
He said he saw the youths clamber up a crude cable cat
walk, reach the top and "so help me, they were doing acro

"Then I lost sight of them," the policeman said. "I don't
know how they got down and away." Police spotlights played
on the tower and a police launch zigzagged below the bridge.
They found nothing.

back the communists had In the
recent election in the Soviet zone
of Germany.
That election was to create a
"people's congress" which was
to be presented to the foreign
ministers' council as the basis of
a government for all Germany.
But one-third of the voters turn
ed thumbs-down on the proposi
tion, thus rendering the Red
scheme useless.
Now the Soviet calls for a re
turn to Big Four council rule, a
proposal which America, Britain
and France promptly rejected.
They say the clock can't be
turned back.
So the next major move is up
to Vishinsky, and pending that
we must be patient Even when
it comes, we may not get the
