Keynes Today
One does not have to be a disciple of the late
John Maynard Keynes to know that his thinking
created a revolution in the "dismal science" of
economics, or to recognize that his influence on
subsequent economic thought has been tremen
dous. In fact, Keynsian economics is neo-orthodoxy
now, and the thinking of the older economists
is on the wane. Despite this, one can still get
into heated debate about whether his all-pervading
influence is good or bad.
But the fact is that many actions of govern
ment today are a direct outgrowth of Lord
Keynes's works.
THE deliberate budgeting of deficits stems di
rectly from Keynes. So do many of the other
fiscal practices which make more conservative
thinkers tear their hair.
Keynes taught, for one thing, that national
government fiscal procedures cannot be com
pared with smaller units, such as cities, states,
corporations, small businesses or families. And
"management" of the economy through a var
iety of devices also is a direct outgrowth of his
theories.
Because they have become so universally
adopted and adapted by theoretical economists,
as well as by practicing politicians, it can be
said that not a man alive today is unaffected by
the theories of this English baron.
A LUCID examination of the application of
Keynsian economic theories to the current
situation in the United
an article written by
trends editor of Newsweek magazine, wnich
appeared in the May 25 New Republic. It is en
titled "Let's Spend More," and explores the pro
posals to cut taxes and increase federal spend
ing in order to shore up the economy, get it
growing at a faster pace, and decrease unem
ployment. His thesis, Rowan says, is a simple one:
"President Kennedy's tax
late the kind of economic growth that is needed
by the United States."
First of all he calls for more realistic budget
intr procedures (which also have been an objec
tive of Oregon's Senator Morse), by dividing
capital expenditures from operating expendi
tures. Only then, he says, will we be able to plan
intelligently for properly financed and heavier
federal spending.
CECONDLY, he points out that the federal tax
cut proposals run about a billion dollars less
than the increases in taxes being imposed by
state and local government, and by increased So
cial Security taxes, and
effect is largely, if not wholly, lost.
Finally, he points out that unemployment is
not diminishing, and that we need some 60,000
new jobs EACH WEEK simply to stay even.
About 25,000 new workers are entering the! la
bor force each week, and about 35,000 jobs are
being eliminated by automation each week.
And he then shows
of some $10,725 was needed to create one new
job in 1954-56, the needed investment for a new
job today is nearly $40,000.
Kowan quotes James Reston of the New York
Times as saying:
"President Kennedy Is deeply worried about the
economy, and feels that radical measures are neces
sary to meet what he regards as a radical problem.
But the Congress and apparently the country are not
in a radical, but moderate mood."
The "radical measures" include a very sub
stantial increase in public spending, combined
with a very substantial
course, would be an increase in the national debt.
But it would also result, the theory goes, in
a massive shot in the arm
CAN we afford more debt?
Rnumn iminta nnf that rlni'inir Wm'lrl War TT
the debt went up to $260
of a $214 billion economy, and as recently as
1950 was 90 per cent of the Gross National
Product.
Today, to the contrary, the debt, though big
ger in dollars, is only about 53 per cent of a $570
billion economy, while the federal budget is only
about 16 per cent of the GNP.
Too, there is a tremendous need for public
investment hospitals, schools and slum clear
ance are mentioned by
the list could go on and on and we are spend
ing a far smaller percentage of, our wealth on
such things than in the past.
DUT, as Rowan points out with a quotation
L from the noted Swedish economist, Gunnar
Myrdal:
"It Is fairly generally recognized . . . that there
Is a serious and Irrational bias against public con
sumption and public Investment In America, lt is a
result of high-pressure salesmanship for private con
sumption, and traditional suspicion against increasing
public budgets."
All these add up, in Rowan's mind, to an
overwhelming argument for a major tax cut and
major federal spending. He concludes:
". . . What we lack In our current economic crisis
is Imagination and a sense of boldness. To stimulate
ecnomlc growth, we need to substitute some challeng
ing thought for the old bromides about budget balance
and expenditure control. We need to apply, instead,
something like the standards of urgency and Ihe spark
of creativity to which we arc driven-desperately-in
wartime. Why wait for wartime to use our combined
brains? Let's declare war on unemployment!"
This makes very little sense to fiscal con
servatives, but makes considerable sense to those
who accept the economic theories of Lord John
Maynard Keynes. -E. A.

Another Account
To the Editor: In reply to
"Purely Mythical" of Thurs
day May 23, that acrording to
Pierre van Paasson, Unitarian
writer, an account of what
actually happened was given.
This van Paassen writer
must be very convincing to
give credence to the news
column of Lydia Burnham,
814 Warne st., Prescott, Ariz.,
that the body of Jesus Christ
was dumped and then buried.
The Bible account has it
that the Chief Priests paid
large sums of money to the
guards of the tomb to report
the saying as in Matthew 28:
13-15. "His disciples came by
night, and stole him away
while wc slept."
Could van Paassen have
read In some books of another
account, and then written of
It for Unitarians to believe,
while the Jews believe their
account to this day? Jesus
had His disciples to witness
to His prediction of His resur
rection to follow, and to have
believers of this true account
in contrast to van Paassen
and his account.
It is no comfort to Unitar
ians that many other religions
don't agree with them and
that Christians base their faith
entirely on t he resurrected
Christ, to bring them to God
forevcrmore.

Receive Calling
To Ihe Editor: Who then
shall receive this calling, and
adoption, "to be sons of
God?" Every one who confes
ses with his mouth, that Jesus
is the son of God, and be
lieves with his heart, that
Jesus was crucified and raised
from the dead, for our justi
fication. If so be, that you do,
as H pleases the Father he
will send forth the spirit of
hij son into your heart, where
by you cry in the "spirit"
Father Father, there by you
have received the promise.
As the Apostle Paul said,
tribulation maketh patience,
and patience experience, ex
perience bringeth hope. For
you shall be tested, tempted,
and endure much tribulation,
but you shall be comforted.
For many shall be called, and
now that you see, what mat
ter of railing it Is. why the
Lord said. "Matthew, ch. 24
and 25," take heed that no
man deceive you. For many I
shall come in my name, say-i

ing, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.
But you who have the Love
of God in you know. As
David said, I was conceived
in sin, as all are, but our
Lord was conceived of the
"Holy Ghost" there by was
manifested the Son of God in
the flesh. For It is written,
the Father would not suffer
his Holy one to see sin. Who
so ever sayeth he is Christ,
or a son of God is a liar,
"while in the flesh." As Apos
tle Paul said to those who
were called, "even we our
selves groan within ourselves,
waiting for the adoption," to
wit, the redemption of our
body. For they that sleep,
that have the promise, shall
be raised up, and they that
remain shall be caught up, in
the air, with the Lord. Then
indeed shall you be the sons'
of God. Where so ever the
carcass is, there will the
eagles be gathered. If a man
fears anything, he ought to
fear God above all, for the
hour of his judgments are at
hand.

Not Gonoral Manager
To the Editor: We certainly
wish to thank the Mail Trib
une for a recent story on the
Peter Britt Gardens Music
and Arts Festival to be held
this summer in the gardens
of Jacksonville's old Britt
Estate.
May I point out just one
correction to your excellent
coverage of the Festival in
corporation? Mr. McKinney
of Portland has been extreme
ly interested in seeing the in
troduction of a concert series
of this magnitude in the state,
and enthusiastically feels that
historic Jacksonville is the
ideal location for this North
west "first." He is on the
board of directors, but is not
the general manager for the
Festival. While the Britt
Music Festival will be nation
al in scope, all Festival work
Is being undertaken by a ded
icated group of vountccr val
ley people.
Just think, from Aug. 11
24, 19S3, the hills of southern
Oregon will resound to fine
music as performed by the
highest calibre professional
musicians from over the coun
try, in the glorious natural
setting of the historic Britt
Gardens in pioneer Jackson
ville. The Rogue valley is in
deed a far cry from a "cul

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
As this is written, it ap
pears probable that a new
constitution will not be sub
mitted to the people of Ore
gon by the present legisla
ture.
Submission of the new con
stitution to popular vote re
quires a two-thirds vote in
both houses of the legislature.
The house has given it the
required majority, but the
vote for submission in the
senate was only 17 to 13,
three votes short of the 20
required for a two-thirds ma
jority in the 30-member sen
ate. The present session of the
legislature is already the long
est In history, and it seems
unlikely that it will be fur
ther prolonged in an effort
to get the necessary two
thirds vote in both houses.
WHY the opposition to the
" proposed new constitu
tion? Dispatches from Salem re
port that disputes, cutting
across Dartv lines, on tho
question of apportionment of
legislative representation and
a strong" governor system
that the new constitution
would have set up accounted
for most of the opposition.
VOU may ask:
1 What is a STRONG gov
ernor system?
Well, under Oreeon's nrps.
ent system the governor
shares executive authority
with the secretary of state
and the slate treasurer.
Under the proposed new
constitution, the governor
would be the sole executive
officer. Those who oppose
the "strong" governor system
think that would be putting
too much authority into too
few hands.
WHAT of the system of ap
" portionmem of legislative
representation proposed by
the new constitution?
It would be based upon
population - "one man, one
vote," to use the phrase origi
nated by Justice Douglas of
the U.S. SuDreme Cmirr it.,.
der this "one man, one vote"
system, the Oregon legisla
ture would he rln
a relatively small number of
neavuy populated counties
located chiefly in the Willam
ette valley.
VOU may say:
1 Isn't it RIGHT thai gov
ernment should be dominated
by PEOPLE rather than by
area?
TT SOUNDS logical.
iniiiuie.
Under our FEDERAL sys
tem, the House of Represen
tatives of the U.S. engross
is dominated by pop-nation.
The U.S. Senate is dominated
by AREA. Under our federal
system, EACH STATE, re
gardless of its population, has
two U.S. senators.
Historically, it has been the
SENATE that has been heav
ily responsible for the growth
and development of the West.
Without the aid of the Senate,
in which each state has two
members, the West might
never have achieved Its pres
ent development. Reclamation
of arid land might never have
been possible without heavy
AREA representation in the
Senate.
JN EASTERN Oregon and
far Southern Oregon, we
can't help wondering what
will happen to us if wc lose
our AREA representation in
the Oregon legislature. We
have to remember, of course,
that unde its decision lt
fall the U.S. Supreme Court
claims the power to deter
mine "fair" apportionment in
the state legislature.
But. at any rate, it seems
unwise for us of the more
thinly populated areas of our
state lo deliberately give
away the protection afforded
by AREA representation in
our state's legislative body.
So -
We arcr't too greatly wor
ried by the prospect that a
new constitution for Oregon
may be delayed.

Strictly
Persona!
By Sydney J. Harris
fc Field Enterprises. Inc.
If you have noticed an ap
preciable decline in the qual
ity of the column during the
last week or
so, the explan
ation is really
quite simple.
I have been
writing it
while visiting
New York.
There is a
popular the
ory that a
Hm writer needs
stimulation, which is true;
but he also needs detachment.
And New York Is probably
the least detachable, most in
volved, city in the world.
This is a community of
pulsating personalities rub
bing up against each other
every minute of the day. It
is an enormous village, full of
gossip, in-jokes, jockeying
for power and prestige and
status, profound insecurity,
and shifting relationships.
And, although New York
is the literary capital of
America, since almost all the
important publishing houses
are centered here, it is sur
prising how many writers
who came here for the stimu
lation have left to secure
some detachment.
They have bought homes
in Connecticut or Vermont
or New Hampshire, They
have moved west to Penn
sylvania or further. As soon
as recognition became
theirs, they found the at
mosphere of Manhattan in
hospitable toward their cre
ative energies.
A writer, or artist of any
kind, needs to set his own
tempo, which must corres
pond to the rhythm of his
particular talent. And New
York has such a powerful
tempo of its own that they
toon find themselves
marching to the step of the
city, part of a vast army
moving in lockstep and
carrying the paradoxical
banner, "I Above All."
This is not to denigrate
the city, which fascinates
me, and which (contrary lo
lo the accepted yokel be
lief) is warm, friendly and
infinitely more tolerant to
ward the strange and ec
centric than any other place
in America.
But as a place for working
in any creating endeavor, its
pitfalls are greater than its
advantages. I speak not as
an occasional visitor, but as
one who knows the city well,
and has lived here in the past.
I know a dozen serious nov
elists who have moved away
in the last few years simply
because it became impossible
to set one's own terms of
working and living in this
beehive of throbbing egos.
The best argument for de
centralizing the arts in Amer
ica is that concentrations of
power - whether political,
economic or artistic - are in
the end self-defeating. New
York drains the talent away
from all other American com
munities, which makes them
culturally barren, and ulti
mately makes New York too
fiercely competitive, too self
conscious of its superiority.
Chekhov, who was also a
doctor, said that medicine
was his wife and writing was
his mistress. New York is the
artist's mistress, but unless
he is wedding to the rest of
America, he loses the sta
bility and the continuity so
essential for his best work

I think I just lost us Dixie.
My only excuse is my ace
newsman's curiosity got the
better of me. For weeks I've
been nagged by the gnawing
question: "Docs the South

question. So at last, hang the
expense, I picked up the
phone and called Colonel Ul
rich N. ,'smes, civil defense
director of Birmingham, Ala.
"No," said Colonel James,
"our shelters, they're on a
first-come, first served basis.
In wartime, we're going to
have to forget a lot of things.''
Moreover, said the Colonel,
it being a Federal program,
all shelters In the South were
racially integrated. Had this
caused a stir? "Well," said the
Colonel hesitantly, "to tell the
truth, we haven't been men
tioning that fact, either way."
But, oh, if that fact should
ever gel out! Already 1 can
see that distinguished orator,
Senator R. Barnett Stonewall,
chairman of the "Southerners

ready to die happily together
with our beloved Nigras just
as we have lived happily to
gether with our beloved
Nigras. Together in separata
but equal fallout shelters.
"So let us gird our loins and
sally fourth to battle, bearing
aloft those immortal words:
'Butler Dead Than Sepia'!"
So you can see what will
happen if a single word of
this leaks out. As usual, the
South will unite as one
against the common enemy.
Us. Every Southern Senator
will join in filibustering tho
whole Federal civil defense
program to death. Every
Southern State will start
building separate but equal
shelters. Labeled "While."
"Colored," and (for those on
rooftops) "Visiting Damyan
kecs." Tempers will rise. The
South will secede. So not only
will we lose our Federal fall
out shelter program, but wo
stand in grave danger of los
ing Dixie forever.
