What's Wrong With U.S.A.?
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.

Answer. 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. Such "blood poisoning"
or septicemia is never due to dyes,
verdigris, rust or other chemical poison-.

"Hopes for Pesce Collapse. Early

Tuesday, you will remember, marks
the end of the Hday ultimatum.

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

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.
Even next year, treasury officials
say they expect an Income large
enough to take care of a consider
able reller program In addition to
providing for the normal expendi
tures of the government. They point
out that this year's $4,000,000,000 In
come Iff based largely on last year's
much lower level of business ac
tivity. WITH PERISCOPE

Other machine age aids to relief
of pain Include beds which will do
almost everything for the patient,
except close his eyes. Some have ele
vators directly underneath to bring
up through openings In the mat
tress whatever the patient needs for
his back.
An X-ray bed. designed for pho
tography, puts a patient In all pos
sible positions merely by the turn
ing of a set screw. This bed will
move out from under him when
necessary, leaving him suspended for
a moment by his arms and legs.
Persons with broken hips, who
once had to He motionless for weeks,
now have beds with holders permit
ting the broken hip leg to be moved
in arty direction throughout the
healing.
One of the newest machines la the
first portable instrument for photo
graphing the rhythm of hearta, an
electric cardiograph which weighs

batteries, household call-bell sfiV.
and two B batteries.
With It, perfect diagnostic heart
pictures were made In the day coach
of a railroad train doing 60 miles

Another machine ta the newest
artificial lung, portable, which re
quires no electric or man-power to

More proof that cancer Is curable
by surgery and X-rays when diag
nosed early was presented In a report
by Bowman C. Cromwell. M. D.,
of Chicago. Based on 2JS.000 persons
who have remained well for five to
thirty years after treatment. Dr.
Croweil said that it Is evident that
in some parts of the body, cancer
cures may reach 70 to P0 per cent.
