J- NtesT HENRY STOPPEL Mmd LONG SOUGHT IN 1H western region By PALL MA IX OX (Copyright. 1935, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. A busi ness Inflation Is coming, probably early next year. The sharpest econo mists here are convinced of It. They are ao aura that they speak of it In an off band manner aa & certainty. In fact, the admin istration la mak ing some prepa rations for It in accordance with the bank bill. It will not be the kind that the congressmen are PALL MALI.OM talking about not government Inflation. That has been going on for four years. It started with the first unbalanced budget, The new turn will come when the H demand for goods exceeds the supply, thus causing a precipitous rise In prices. There will be a rush for goods which cannot be stopped by existing cautious inventories. Prices will bid up abnormally for whatever stocks exist. With two and one-half billion dol lars of excess reserves In federal re serve banks (August 9) to finance expansion of actlvlety. you can sec that the possibilities aret quite lively, lively. A general hint of what Is coming lies behind the front page announce ment by General Motors that it Is spending $50,000,000 for plant ex pansion. Ford Is supposed to be planning a similar expansion. Unfortunately this Is not true of all Industry, or, In fact, any other industry at present. If It were, It would be the finale of the gloom era, because this phase of business activity is the single key to the un employment problem. The bulk of the Jobless Is in durable goods In dustries. They are the men who make equipment for the manufac turers. They will never get back to work until manufacturers find demand warrants expansion. that The automobile makers found it out this summer. Their Industry has been the first to recover. The reason is they decided to put out a better product at a cheaper price. The way the public gobbled up that product was beyond expectations. Production continued abnormally high into the summer season: late orders had to be rushed through for steel. Next year the motor men are not going to be caught short that way. They are expanding. A somewhat similar situation de veloped in summer clothing. Manu facturers under-estimated demand: (Continued on Page Eight) Plan Road Survey 4 To Draft Program PORTLAND, Ore.. Aug. 15.

Viscount Snowden was branded a dangerous pacifist when he inveighed against war In 1914). By Viscount Snowden (Copyright, 1935. by the Associated Press) TIL FORD. Surrey, Eng.. Aug. 15. The Italo-Ethloplan dispute has in it all the elements of a world war. International affairs are now so In terlated an apparently trivial inci dent may have immense unexpected consequences. The murder of an Austrian arch duke was the match which set Into a huge conflagration combustible ma terial which for years had been ac cumulating. Elements Listed The elements constituting the present menace to world peaco as a result of the dispute between Italy and Ethiopia may be summarized as follows: 1. The covenant of the League or Nations and the Paris pact make an isolated dispute the business of all the signatories to these documents. 2. Unprovoked attack by one of the nations upon another member of the league compels the league to come to the assistance of the Jeopardized na tion. Under the Paris pact such an attack becomes a violation of Inter national law and morality. 3. If Italy persists in her declared Intention to attack and conquer Ethiopia, then her action Is clearly in violation of both the covenant of the league and the conditions of the Paris pact. In event of war tho league must, if It discharges Its obligations, take military or economic sanctions against Italy. (Continued on rage Pour) f TALK FOR SENATE WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. yp How ord C.
