When America Travels When Grandpa went to the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 he took Uncle George with him because he had worked hard in the fields all summer. The rest of the family stayed at home. But when the modern American. father visits the San Francisco World’s Fair next year he probably will load the entire family into the car and take them along. The change represented by this contrast seems to be re- sponsible, at least in part, for the popularity of the tourist cabin and its increasing use by America on the move. Another evidence of the same development is the trailer, which is ap- pearing in constantly increasing numbers. If Dad, that source of all things for the American family, had to put his brood up at hotels he doubtless would make fewer and shorter trips. Willing as he is to go the limit, his pocketbook just couldn’t stand the strain. Marching an entire family into a restaurant also has inevitable consequences when Dad passes the cash register. But the cabin system and the privilege of cooking their own meals enables many a family to become nomad for a little while. These things are merely evidence of American in- genuity in finding a way to do something which nearly every- one wants to do. : The latest evidence comes from Yellowstone Park, which this year had the largest number of tourists in its history. A development at Mammoth Hot Springs, to be ready next spring, is costing $800,000. A hotel is being renovated but 95 NEW COTTAGES ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED. What amounts to hotel facilities for the cottagers will be provided by a big recreation hall with barber shop, beauty parlor, baths, a cocktail room and other features of a service nature. Park officials aren't guessing. On August 29 they had counted 439,069 visitors as compared with 432,570 for all of last year, the previous high. And they noted carefully what all of these people did and how they came. i On August 7, 9 and 12, a count was taken. On those three ‘ays 9,780 persons entered the park and-of this number 3,047 were registered in auto camps and 3,034 stopped at house- seeping cabins. « ’ Hotels had the fewest people but registered the greatest percentage gain over the previous year, another evidence that expense is a major factor when America travels. Sign of Prosperity One of: the worst signs that prosperity has returned to America is noted by Paul B. Sommers, president of the Na- Behind Scenes Washington CONGRESS MUST FOLLOW F. D. RB. OR FACE A NEW PARTY, SAYS LA FOLLETTE. Editor's Note: Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Jr., followed in the footsteps and traditions of his father as an insurgent Republican senator from Wisconsin. But the LaFollette wing now the Republican ticket and fights un- der the name of the ve party. Although LaFollette has Supported the more liberal phases of the New Deal program and policy, he is an obvious leader for any new third, liberal party which may develop between now and 1940, By SENATOR ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE, Jr. (Written Exclusively for The Tribune and NEA Srvice, Inc.) Before we can decide where we go from here we must take our bearings and determine just where we’ are. Lincoln long ago admonished us that “if we first know where we are and wither we are tending, we could then beta judge what to do and how to 0 it.” The essential of determining where we are is to understand that the economic crisis through which we are passing is not a mere phase of the, business cycle. It is the end of an economic era dominated by the phy- sical expansion of the frontier, In the throes of our greatest depression we are becoming conscious for the first time of great changes which have already occurred’ and are con- tinuing to occur in the economical life of our nation. Immigration has stopped. Nat- ural population growth is slowing: down. Free land has disappeared Economic na- c is - clos- ® curtailment of individual eco- ‘ nomic opportun- LaFollette ity which presents fundamental problems for solution. Speaking in broad terms, those problems require us to apply the same intelligence to the creation of equality of economic opportunity as the generation of the Revolution of 1776 had to apply to! the problem of creating measure of equalty of political opportunity. While the American people have always been vigilant against govern- mental tyranny, they have been slow to observe as greater in the growth of unrestrained private eco- nomic power over the life, property, and labor of a once free people. is produced from year to year, tional Board of Fire Underwriters, whose records show that the fire loss trend again is upward after a long period of rel- atively favorable experience. In 1936 fire losses were $28,000,000 above those for the preceding year, an increase of 11.9 per cent This bears out the old adage, familiar to all insurance men, that “good times He bring bad fires.” The reasons are many, according to expert analysis. During the depression some buildings were under-insured and others were uningured. In each case owners exercised greater care to prevent losses. At the same time stocks of goods were maintained on a hand-to-mouth basis and such fires as did occur caused smaller losses than normally would have been the case. A corollary to this condition was lower valuations on real estate for insurance purposes. Since. the upturn, however, values have become higher, stocks have increased and more insurance is being carried. These are commercial factors. : There is also a psychological factor, for the underwriters observe that “people who have had their financial fears lulled are BECOMING MORE CARELESS.” - That, sadly enough, is one of the principal causes for the increasingly bad experience. People can learn if they have to but it seems that some prefer to forget as soon as possible. Call the Doctor ~ Economic health, in the judgment of Cordell Hull, Ameri- can secretary of state, is the only sure cure for thé madness of war now sweeping the globe. His theory is that prosperous, happy nations don’t plunge into such madness. As expressed in the current issue of the Rotarian Mag- azine, Mr. Hull says: ty “Only as the world’s economic health is restored will individuals and nations develop again adequate resistance to psychological niad- 1) mess that makes possible internal and external strife. Only as con- +» atructive economic effort once more fully engages the energies of -; mankind, as the of production and distribution regains | gnd expands its scele and ‘ speed of operation, as sterile m= ployment is replaced by fertile toil, will the nations of the ‘world restore and their economic Drosperity in full and sound ‘measure and turn thoughts away from war and toward last- ‘peace. : "how will disagree with his philosophy or refute -his dec- laration that wer is a “phychological madness.” Yet what this nation can do about it is not clear. Mr. Hull feels that his reciprocal trade treaties will help and he doubtless is heading in the right direction. But even the most opti- \ mistic reslizes that such action is slow, whereas a quick cure Nd needed. Thus Mr, Hull finds himself in the same position as many the prescription. , ‘nother doctor.
