NEW DEAL FLAWS
(Continued mom Past on.)
of thot who know me but," h a&ld
of two-fold maneuver by supporters
to put him up for the presidential
nomination.
The Republican state central com
mittee endorsed him making certain
18 Landon votes at the Cleveland con-!
ventlon and the Kansas Day club
broke ft 45-year-old tradition against ;
political endorsements by pledging It
self to Landon a ft candidate.
Ttrae for Direct Attack j
Briefly, the Landon view of na
tional questions:
National Government: "The time
has come for a direct attack on the
attempt of Washington to substitute
a tax-eating bureaucracy for a liberal
democratic system."
National Finances: 'A nation will
survive to correct Its political mis
takes If an unsound financial
program 1 coupled with such mis
takes the nation faces destruc
tion." Relief: "We need desperately a
cheeper, simpler and more responsible
relief administration throughout the
nation."
Farm Problem: "A policy that la
not limited in its benefits to imme
diate cash returns, but seeks as well
to rebulldthe fertility of the soil
would fit in with the demand of ag
riculture for equality with industry."
The Supreme Court: The action
of the supreme court In cutting away
some of the errors In recent national
legislation has given ft healthy Impe
tus to our entire economic life."
The Constitution: "The constitu
tion la not an obstacle to progress
It la the balance wheel of pro
gress." "Unfortunately, now aa always,
there are peoRle today calling them
selves liberal who regard any sugges
tion of economy as reactionary," the
governor saM. "They seem to think
' IlltriirrfiT to throw other people's
money around without any considera
tion of value la a peculiar sign of ft
pure heart.
"When the record of the adminis
tration Is challenged the answer is
'What would you do?'
"That begs the question. Their pro
gram Is not only ineffective, It Is de
structive of the American system. In
the face of that fact no reasonable
cltleen should ask us what to do."
Tha choice ahead, he said, "is not
whether to keep on with the mistakes
of the so-called New Deal or return
to the mistakes of the older order.
The old order belongs to the past, but
sound American principles persist.
"What our nation really needs to
day la better housekeeping. Our
women can show the way. They have
had more successful experience than
any political spendthrift In getting
full abundance out of living and in
managing to put by something for a
rainy day."
For the next Republican national
n at form Landon suggested:
"A straightforward declaration
that will set forth the careful thought
and serious convictions not of one
person but of many. Behind the
platform must be an honest In
tention to redeem its pieages.

The first thing about the figures to
hit the wary eye la the disparity be
tween production, employment and
payrolls. The average of payrolls for
1935 was 70, while production waa
90. Also the 83 Index of employment
may seem to be high In view of pop
ular estimates that no appreciable
dent has been made In unemploy
ment. Each economist has hla own argu
ment about this. It la true that the
heaviest production now la In lines
which employ the least labor; that
the big labor lines, like building and
coal, are lagging far behind (soft coal
output in December waa only 77 per
cent normal; anthracite 71 per cent).
Also there is an unchartered growth
of employable In the laat five years
and the over-ballyhooed technologi
cal unemployment phase.
One undlsputable thing Is clear.
These business figures are official
government figures and presumed to
be honest. But there are no figures
on unemployment, government or
private. The ones which are being
published from time to time by the
A. P. of I. and others are admitted
to be pure guesses.
With all the boondoggling going
on, the idea may soon occur to some
bright young government official that
It might be well to check and clasalfy
unemployment by Induatrlea and by
areaa to determine at least the exact
scope of the problem, If not Its solu
tion. The official excuse here haa always
been that It could not be done accu
rately. Nearly half the Induatrlea repre
sented In employment figures (Bur
eau of Labor statistics) show Decem
ber Increases; 40 of the 90 ehowed
employment gslna. and 61 of the 90
showed total payroll galna. Last
month was the first December since
the depression showing an Increase
In employment. Largest Increase waa
In retail trade, amounting to 33 pet
cent over November (about 343,000
additional employes). Most of these
Chrlstmass Jobs have now been lost
again.
The big bulge In building contracts
swarded during December waa due to
a eeneral December 15 deadline on
many spproprlatlons. Thst figure also t
la a seaeonal abnormality. Yet the
building Industry Is making progteee.
privately financed contracta awarded
laat year aggregated 837,000.00o, aa
compared with tsft8.000.000 In 1034. ,
Of course, this does not represent ;
ny real building In comparison with
old days, but there will be at least
that much more Improvement thla
rear.

OVER EXPAKS
LONDON (UP) The motion plo-
ture Industry In Great Britain la be
coming worried about Its "growing
pains." fesrlng thst there are not
enough movie addlcta to warrant the
rapid construction of new theatera.
During the last two yeara more
than 300 new theaters have been
built and now there la a movie seat
for every 14 persons of London's pop
ulation. In Lancaahire, which leads
Britain with 699 movie houses, there
la a eeat for every nine persons.
We are confronted with a serious
danger In thla overbuilding." 8. R.
Rowson. president of the British
Cinematograph society, said In dls
ouaslng a statistical aurvey of what
he called "one of the sociological
wonders of the century."
We ran escape this danger only
If we can obtain a balance by a na
tional drive to create more clnema
goera. The cinema business cannot
be said to be In a prosperous altua
tlon when one theater seat Is pro
vided for every 13 persons In Great
Britain, whereaa large numbers of
persons are not patrons of this form
of entertainment."
Last year British movie-goers spent
$304,750,000 on theater tickets, the
attendance being about 957.000,000
persons. The average patron visits
the cinema about 8 times a yenr, It
was estimated.
The average price paid for a ticket
was 30 cents In the 4.305 theatera of
England, Scotland and Walea.
Of the $304,750,000 paid In at tne
box offlcea the government claimed
$34,000,000 In entertainment taxea.
Exclusive of the taxes, 43 per cent
of the admissions were at prlcea be
low 13 cents and another 36 per cent
were under 30 centa. In other words,
the British movie fan In four out of
five cases refused to pay more than
a shilling to see his favorites on the
screen.
The theaters sell about 18,500,000
tickets each week, but there Is a wide
seasonal fluctuation, with January
and October being the top montha,
Between 31,000.000 and 32.000.OOo

ters because of the almost standard
practice of showing two feature films.
The continuous performance Idea of
the United States Is followed only In
the large theaters of the theatrical
districts. In the others, the first fea
ture starts about 8 o'clock In the eve
nlng and the second feature ends
about 11 o'clock.
Excepting In London, there are few
theaters open on Sunday and even in
London they are not open until after
6 o'clcok.
Of the 4.305 theaters In Great Bri

874 are open on Sunday and 490 of
these are In London and auburban

Last year 667 feature-length films

films, mostly from Hollywood.
