There ll one guiding principle upon which President Roosevelt seems to be plan nlng the second phase of his new deal. It Is that a wider distribu tion or money must be lorced to those who will Immediately spend It. The Idea Is not ' m exactly new, ouv 5uT " I the increasing JTV I Importance of It Kx I In the minds of 3V 1 his policy makers is aeciaecuy new and of controlling Importance. It will furnish the official Inspiration for carrying out the new taxing pol icy, the new NHA revival, continued public works spending, and, In fact, afford the basis for governmental activity In the next four years. If you understand It, you will understand the motive behind most of the developments from Washing ton now being prepared. In simplest terms, It means the government Is bent on msklng tho nation spend. It wants to squeeze .h. .amino, nut of corDOratlons, busi ness and Incomes, and divert thlsl money Into channels where it win oe The greater share of the money will be diverted, as lar as to the government and the wage rh investor will get some of It, but he will not hold on to It long. It Is assumed that tne invent hi. rfiviri.nda and reinvests them. and. therefore, he Is not a spender, but an accumulator of money. The government will get a substan tial portion of his dividends by heavy taxation on unearned Income (no in creases are contemplated for the pres ent, but the present tax law will get a lot for the government) . Corporations and business will fare ......- i,.v .v. because they will r-roflt'from increased business due to he increased puruijno .. .ani.r and spending by the tun su - government. The wage earner win ... , hnmi. spend his wage increooo vi i.Hi.f.iv It Is exnected, and will not Invest it or savo It or deposit it In banks. The government will take Its share (expected by some BUthor ltlea to reach the colossal total of - tottinn HniifLm next vcar'i and distribute a portion of It In the way It has been doing, that la to non wage earners, for public building, for soil conservation, larmeis. v-. rfe.t i. th Roosevelt working theory, reduced to terms which are probably too simple to De oiucisur ' approved, but which are basicslly accurate.

The new tax bill made the ,t.-lh,l4lnn .rivfXBhle. but the hlOVC ment was undertaken by business men on their own Initlallve. This of course, does not mean that the Inefficiencies and lnequajl- tlea of the tax law win te revised at the coming session. tm. analvsia docs not concern the ...uni f whether the theory Is i k.i m indifferent, but only that It is. The only certainty of It future application Is rooted In the fact that the best oi Koowven tc-.-nBni... nn.lder It aa absolutely necessary to preserve the capitalistic system. It Is Inevitable not only for economic reasons, out social, ana Hnml-.! reniuini as well. The social asoect of It. Is that there ire supposed to be about B.OOO.OOO persons still unemployed. The political possibilities u an tntldote are; obvious. The economic phase has already been discussed. It furnishes purchas ing power where it la needed and keeps money moving. Results to be expected from II. of course, are higher prices, more active business and probably a boom, altlio the Roosevelt reorganizes have many brakes they Inwnd to apply a;alnt the latter consequence. 'Die govern ment controls the fields of credit to such an extent that 1k has reaatn to nope that It wlU be able to keep prices from Betting out of hand.

Two west coast strikes not directly connected with the maritime walkout were settled but others appeared to complicate the general labor situa tion.

During that period commerce has remained completely Idle. Insofar M American ships In Pacific port 'w're concerned. Virtually every major industry on the Pacific slope felt the grip of the strike with workers either walking out In sympathy with the maritime workers or being forced out of work because their plant were unable to obtain raw materials for their iac tmie. nr shin finished products.
