Comment
on the
Day's News
. By FRANK JENKINS.
U A MERICA." a headline In tha
J newa ol the day tella ua, "la
Willing To Drop Her Ancient laola
tlon Policy."
Willing, possibly, but foolish If she
doea.
Every time we have come out of
our Isolation and taken a part In tha
Intrigues of Europe, we have got Into
trouble.
CONGRESS la preparing to vote a
public worka bill of aoma three
and a third BILLION dollars. It la
designed to provldei employment for
those who are out of work.
This writer, who la merely one
humble citizen, away out here on
the Paclflo coast, la of the opinion
that If congress would provide ONE
billion dollars to be loaned to private
industry more employment for labor
would be created than by the voting
of three and a third billions for
public worka.
That, of course, la merely one
humble cltlzen'a views, and views of
thle aort are out of harmony with
y the spirit of the tlmea right now.
CONGRESS, under the direction or
the President, la preparing to vote
on another bill thla one to enable
Industry, under proper governmental
control, to so regulate Itself aa to
prevent that form of unrestricted
competition which leads to over-production
and recurring depressions.
That has more promise.
WE say that "'competition la the
life of trade."
That la true enough. But unre
atrloted competition haa a tendency
to DESTROY trade by upsetting the
balance between aupply and demand
that must exist If trade Is to pros
per. No one knows that better than we
of the lumber' districts out here on
the Pacific coaet, where In yeara of
fairly good demand production runs"
wild and breaks the market, result
ing In yeara of Inactivity while the
surplus thus created Is being used
up.
IT would be far 'better for ua, year
In and year out, If production
could be held within the limits of
normal demand. That la what the
new control of Industry bill will seek
to accomplish.
IT 18 designed to accomplish even
more to iron out Inequalities in
production cost, whereby one district,
by taking undue advantage of labor.
Is able to manufacture more cheaply
than another district and so gain
the upper hand In the market.
Here on the Pacific Coast, for ex
ample, we believe In fair wages and
reasonable hours in the lumber in
dustry. In the South, where negro
labor la the rule, wages have been
low and hours long.
There are strong Intimations that
the control of Industry bill will put
an end to this, by compelling the
South to come up to the standards
of the West.
If so, we are for It.
CONTROL of industry whereby pro
duction may be gauged to prob
able demand, so that the building
up of disastrous surpluses may be
avoided, sounds so reasonable that
one wonders why It has not been
done long ago.
Human nature, unfortunately,
stands In the way. Too many peo
ple are Inclined to say: "If every
body else Is going to restrict pro
duction to probable demand, thereby
Increasing prices, I will Increase MY
production to the limit, thua TAK
ING ADVANTAGE of the higher
prices and making a lot of money."
Human nature is a hard thing to
control by law. Maybe we can do
It and maybe we can't.
But in these days, we are willing
to TRT almost anything.
THK founders)? thta republic were
a conservative lot that Is, they
were a conservative lot as viewed by
the standards of today.
As viewed by tha standards of
THEIR OWV DAT. they were a wild
and reckless lot of radicals. The

Hon. The experts expected twelve

That does not throw budget calcu

out.

there is not a chance in a thousand

That harmless system of paying
political debts appears to have been
followed on the Slrovlch resolution
