Comment
on the
Day 's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
MODEST Improvement In the lum
ber industry during the first
quarter ot 193S Is predicted by Col.
W. B. Oreeley. secretary-manager ol
the West Coast Lumbermen's associa
tion. It will be welcome. Lumber and
Mrlcultur. are Oregon's chlel sources
ol revenue, and when both are down
money becomes scarce In Oregon
UP, cash reserves, represented
VS largely by our bank deposits, may
be likened' to a rain barrel. What
we sell beyond our borders PUTS
y MONEY INTO the barrel. What we
buy from beyond our borders TAKES
IT OUT.
In normal times, when our Indus
tries chleny lumber and agriculture
ere normally active nd prosperous
more money flows Into the barrel
than is taken out of It. But In ab
normal times, hen our Industries
are depressed, more money flows out
than Is put back In.
In times such as these, more
money flows out than is put back In
Hence the shrinkage In bank deposits
that has been going on.
IMPROVEMENT, even modest 1m.
1 provement. In the lumber Industry,
will begin to put more money Into
the barrel, and the same will be true
In the case of agriculture. When
more money begins to flow Into the
barrel than flows out of It, we shall
be on the road back to normal busi
ness conditions here In Oregon.
WHAT are the essentials of In'
dustryf
Here Is the answer: LABOR and
CAPITAL plus management. -Labor
isnt sufficient without capital. Capi
tal Isn't sufficient without labor. Each
depends on the other.
And BOTH must have sound man
agement If they are to prosper. No
matter how abundant the capital, no
matter how efficient the labor, In
dustry will fall If It lacks sound
management. We have all seen sound
businesses go to pieces when gd
management Is succeeded by poor
management.
Management Is Just another word
for business brains.
WHERE does capital come fromf
It comes from the savings of
the people. It CANT come from
anywhere else. It doesn't grow on
. It is represented by the accumula
tions of people who spend a little
less than they make.
REMEMBER, there must be capital
before there can be Industry, and
in the past three years of deflation
and unemployment capital has been
destroyed on a very, very large scsle.
Hence, Industry has declined.
Before Industry can expand to the
extent that we want to see It expend,
new capital must be provided, and
new capital can come only from the
SAVINGS OP THE PEOPLE.
So, you see, In the yesrs that fol
low the beginnings of Improvement
In business It Is going to be necessary,
If Industry Is to go forward as we
want to see It go forwsrd, thst peo
ple spend a little LESS then they
mske.
For that, It la worth repeating, Is
the ONLY way In which new capital
can be provided.
rTOU are out 'of a Job now, you
may say, with good reason: "But
how am I going to save?"
Tou CANT, of course. But present
conditions of unemployment wont
last always. There have been depres
sions and unemployment before, and
ALWAYS these conditions have come
to an end. They will come to an end
again.
In time. If you are reasonably ef
ficient, you will get a Job again. Just
when, this writer doesn't pretend to
know. NOBODY knows.
But In the past Improvement hs
slways followed deflation ant) depres
sion. It will again.
II7HEN
Improvement DOES come.
TT and you get a Job again, this will
be a mighty
good rule for you to
follow:
"Spend a little less than you earn

of the debts issue.
The premier criticised other de
partments of the American foreign
policy, beginning with the refusal of
