Ed Dunning of Hermiston, will serve

CO-OP GLEANINGS
By E. H. Dunning.
(From Consumer Cooperation)
The National Survey of Potential
Produce Capacity reports that 'the
American people in the last five
year period have permitted them
selves to be deprived of goods and
services to the amount of 287 bil
lions of 1929 dollars, or an average
of 57 billions per year.’ This addi
tional amount could have been pro
duced ‘if physical factors and know
ledge had been the only limitation
on production.’
This lack of production, when we
had the physical capacity and know
ledge to produce 692 billions of
wealth rather than 405 billions, or
a shortage of 287 billions, was the
result of ’uneven distribution of
buying power.’ The goods and ser
vices listed in our budget could not
be consumed unless evervone helped
in their consumption. They are not
like dollars of which one man can
possess a million and another none
at all. This consumption of budget-
ed goods and services would recuire
the cooperation of the entire popu
lation.’
We have concentrated ‘purchasing
power' in the hands of a few. But
'consuming ability' cannot be con-
centrated to the same degree. The
few cannot consume the food an
goods represented by the purchasing
power they receive in the form of
money income. This holding of ex
cess monetary power to consume by
the few is what prevents additional
vroduction. Things that are produc
ed must be consumed or we pile up
what are mis-called surplus. They
re not surpluses beyond the needs
of the mass of the peonie but be-
vond the consuming ability of the
few who hold the monetary counters
controlling their distribution.
The key question is the distrib”-
tion of purchasing power to match
the distribution of consuming abil-
cooperative and
ity. Starting
shunting the profits back into the
hands of the people as a whole,
through patronage dividends In
stead of concentrating the profits
Into the hands of the few thronth
stock dividends Is the way to dis
tribute purchasing power to match
consuming ability."
Voluntary cooperation offers us a
way out that is in keening with our
democratic traditions and institu
tions.
Farmers of America have grasped
the meaning of cooperation and are
organizing rapidly. They are buy
ing cooperatively their farm and
home supplies of all kinds. Farmers
have also organized to market prac-
tically all kinds of food products
they raise: but they must turn these
products into the hands of private
processor-distrihntors who take toll
from farm producers In lower prices
and from city consumera in higher
prices.
City consumers must organize in-
to consumer's co-operatives to buy
direct from farm co-one and elim-
Inate the excessive distributor tolia.
