THE Brookings Irwtitute has recently completed a three years' intensive and objective inquiry into what's wrong with the United Stntos economically what causes the depres sion and what must be done to get out of it. Tresident Harold G. Moulton of the Institute in an article in the current Fortune, entitled "The Trouble With Capitalism Is the Capitalists" presents the conclusions of this survey in a very interesting and graphic fashion. TIE title of the article, however, is very misleading. One might expect to find it devoted largely to the sins and errotB of Big Business, but Biich is not the case. Dr. Moulton spends most of his time, pulling the props from under the New Peril, and exposing the fallacies of the various theories which have been advanced from time to time, since the depression started. For example: He maintains the trouble is not, and never has been over production. In fact at the height of American prosperity, this country did not produce more than 80 of what the country could consume, assuming the people had had money enough to buy what they needed to maintain a proper standard of living. This disposes of the Technocrats. THEN the problem would seem to be to increase the buying power of the people, raise wages, for example. The doctor says No. Because raising wages merely raises prices and the buying power is NOT increased. How about the late Hucy Long's distribution of wealth then? Statistics are presented to show that this would do no good in the first place and is physically impossible in the second. Wealth isn t money. Wealth is goods and services and obviously can't be divided up. WHAT thent Well here is where the capitalists come in and fhen nnlv for a fiw wnrrla at the conclusion. TRICES MUST BE BROUGHT DOWN, so that the people of the country as a whole can the money they enn earn. Or as Secretary of Agriculture Wallace expresses it; the desired goal is: "Continually Increased balanced production of goods which conaumera really desire at a prlcfl low enough to mow them Into consumption, and high enough to stimulate Increased balanced production." This Doctor Moulton concludes is "today's challenge to every business man." He believes "the details of the program will in due time fall into their proper relationship and perspec tive ONIjT if there is first a principles." aASS production, as we take it, is really the essence of the remedy. Production in such large quantities, and under such efficient management that the price of the article produced can be brought within the range of the average pocketbook, and at the same time tho article can profit, and on the basis of volume at what would be actually a good profit. Tn fact the writer maintains, industry on such a basis would be more prosperous than on any sort of fixed price basis, with a larger profit margin. A LIj of which is very interesting. But is it true, has the Brookings Institute found the way out, and the only way outt We don't know. We doubt knows and he may be mistaken. But this can be said for the partisan, it is impartial, it is the study by men who are experts in And the way out must in the lust analysis be charted by SUCH FORCES, and not by the politicians and demagogues and economic witch doctors, if our democracy and the system under which it has flourished for over ISO vears, is to survive.

CaL DON'T LET ORAVITy In an Interesting discussion of the Influence of gravity upon old age, the editor of the Medical Times last April suggaatad remedy and a prophylac tic "priods of An In dividual in spe cial need of treat ment might rest at night upon a large revolving disc with his head toward the outer rim; opti mum speed to be determines oy laooratory experimen tation. Such a disc might be large enough to carry 10 to 30 patients. This mechanism would facilitate functions which in the day are In hibited by gravity. Incidentally cer tain cardiac and vascular disabilities might be especially helped. The de compensated heart, with edematous ( dropsical ly swollen) and varicose ex tremities, might respond well." A great idea. First get a few doc tors to carry on some experiments with a small two or three-man cen trlfugstor and present their findings to the medical societies. Then prob ably some promoter could raise funds to open a chain of centrlfugators In the principal cities, with accommo dations to serve from 20 to 60 clients at .a whirl. A dollar an hour for a ride. If the thing were conducted tn the proper manner it would be a great success. As the editorial writer pointed out. the trajectory of the blood from the heart into the aorta or great artery la subject to a "pull back" by grav ity, when one is in the erect posi tion. Gravity also pulls bsck on the blood In the vessels in the extremi ties and on the blood In the great vein or vena cava In the trunk. Gravity has a great deal to do with varicocele and with hemorrhoids, as well as varicose veins in the legs. The aging individual's arches do not fall they are pulled to the ground; his Jaw sags; his mouth droops: he bows and bends: he actually grows shorter. How long before he li literally pulled Into his grave depends . It depends largely, I think, on the tone of his belly. Anterior abdominal wall to you.

It Is obvloua again that unemployment figures are not moving in unison with employ ment and relief statistics. Apparently, people are living more transparently. The activity in plate glass production Is phenomenal. Pro duction for September was 179 per cent of the 1923-35 averages. A year ago It was 84. Increased use of glass In autos and housing is probably re sponsible. 4 NEW YORK DAY BY DAY Ry O. O. Mclntyrc NEW YORK, Oct. 30. Mark Hellin- gers appears to be the first of the columnists voluntarily to give up his trade. After ten years of the grind. he seeks new paa- vrxn tures at 33. Most columnists con fess privately and sometimes pub llsly they want to get away from It all. But It's mostly talk. None makea the break. A com pilation recently places the num ber of American colu mnlsts. ex- cltialve of the sports pages, at 400. And schools of Journalism declare that about half the entrance students have a leaning toward this calling. It t probable the columnist who Inspired more fledglings to columnls tlc flights was Bert Leston Taylor, the celebrated B. L. T. Mis column was the generating ground for several con tilbutors who have become column ists. It la true the brlary Oeorgc S. Kaufman tried columnlng awhile.

Unless the dye irritated or blistered the skin it probably had nothing to do with the infection. Such Infection, lnfalmmation, fester ing, is due to Invasion of the tissue germs. Perhaps the confusion arises from the popular term "blood poison ing" for septicemia or pus germs In the blood.

The grand stnnd, bleachers and the play ing field so often thunderous and swaying with milling, screaming hu manity seem caught in an eerie frozen stillness. Not even a deserted theatre, where many actors Including George M. Cohan will refuse to go after mid night, Is so spooky. On way from the Polo Grounds we swerved around that high trestled peak of the elevated Zoe Beckley Curve. It was once a sort of spring board to eternity climaxed, after al most a weekly effort, by one week of four attempts. But two who made the leap and lived horribly crippled denpolled Its gruesome popularity. The suicide, once nerved for his en deavor, wants to be certain of results. Yet I often wonder If all suicides do "nerve themselves" for their des perate act. t know one Instance I be lieve the off-guard whim of a split second, a lightning flesh of uncon trollable madness.

AS thM words ara written, these startling but not wholly unex pected hesdllnes meet the eye: "Hopes for Pesce Collapse. Early Close of War Is Held Remote. Great Britain to Apply Sanctions, Starting Tuesday." Tuesday, you will remember, marks the end of the Hday ultimatum. And "sanctions" Is the diplomatic word for tightening the screws In this case declining to buy what Italy has to sell and refusing to aell her eertsln Important products used In the manufacture of war materials. 4 THOSE who can remember as far back aa 1914 will recall that at the beginning of the world war there waa much hopeful talk that It would end soon. But It DIDN'T, When fighting once starts In Eu rope, stopping It Is a big Job. ANOTHER headline catches the eye: "Rome Puta Blame on Lon don Policy." This dispatch from Rome follows: "Speedy return of the British fleet to Ita home quarters would serve more then anything else to restore amity between Italy and Britain, It was said In official Italian sources today." THAT la to say, lfthe British will take their fleet out ot the Medi terranean, thus giving Mussolini a free hand to do whatever he chooses. Mussolini will feel a lot better about It. If you had the drop on a burglar who waa robbing your house, tn burglar would probably feel a lot better about It, also, If you laid aside your gun. But you wouldn't be likely to do It. It Isn't likely that Britain, who feels that Mussolini ta planning to rob her colonial house, will with draw her fleet. ANOTHER lmp'o'rtant headline: "Reduction of Age for Towns end Pension Proposed." The proposer Is Representative Martin P. Smith of Washington, ana his proposition Is to reduce the age limit from SO to 43. The proposition la made to tne convention of Townsend clubs now In session In Chicago. f THE cynical rejoinder would be to say:"Why not pension EVERY BODY, so that NOBODY will have to work any more7" But right-thinking people MUSTN'T be cynical about the Townsend plan. They can't afford to be. Too many honest, sincere, worthy but WHOLLY MISINFORMED people are for It. and In this country the majority rules. The only possible way to avoid the destructive menace of the Towns end plan la to convince these sin cere, honest, worthy people that tfley have been misinformed, and that 200 a month can't be paid to everybody over 60 or 48, as Is now proposed without bsnkrupttng tne country and ruining everyone In It. That can't be done by making I cynical smart crack. It can only be done by able, honest, straightfor ward reasoning. REPEAFEXPENSIVE XIO. HEAD CORVAU.IS, Ore.. Oct. 30. (API Mrs. Ma B.

Denying what he characterized as "gloomy predictions" of higher tsxes. the president said the government MwlU not need new taxes or increased rates in existing taxes to meet the expense of its necesssry annual operations and to retire Its public debt." These two conflicting viewpoints are accompanied by shsrply contrast ing assertions. May lilt Smaller Incomes. The American Liberty league, which speaks of heavier tax burdena in the future, also contends that "taxes can be increased practically only by including smaller Incomes which are now exempt" because "soaking the rich cannot pay the enormous ex panses this administration Is piling up.1 On the other hand, treasury ex perts assert that the federal income is now virtually back to the post war level of $4.000.00fi,000 a year which permitted former Secretary Melton to retire the debt at the rate of about 11.000.000.000 a year. While closely guarding the official estimates of revenue for the next few years, treasury officials contend that? existing tsx rates may be ex pected to yield at leost $5,500,000,000 In a year of normal business activity and as high as $7,000,000,000 in an abnormal year such as 1928.
