A with a view to forecas their future it is important to clearly in mind that both have been set up, and both have received } the support of American producers because of the general impression that prices have collapsed owing to an over-production of goods. But for this belief we should not have them in anything like their present form., The long term social re= forms have been grafted upon this basic conviction among produc- ers that there must be a collective restriction of production. Th fore, important and desirable as they are, they are incidental. The limitation of child labor and of sweating, the encouragements of collective bargaining, the codes of fair practice to reduce commercial the effort of the A. A A. A to do something about tha old problem of the middleman—all of these s lly desirable measuras have been advanced so quickly by voluntary agreement, rather than by the slow process of legislation, because farmers and business men lieve they have to produce less in order to earn more. Thus the; that it offers to raice farm prices by Paying farmers to reduce th crops; the N. R. A. derives its vital force from the de- sire of established industries to “stabilize” themselves. Its method to encourage co-operation by relaxing the anti-trust laws and the purpose is to keep production down to the effective demand. If you remove from both experi- ments the idea that production has to be curtailed you remove from them their major principle. Take out of A. A. A. the subsidies to re- ducs crops, and liftle would be left. Take out of N. R. A. the! right to combine for what used to be called restraint of trade. the right directly or indirectly %o fix prices at the highest net return rather than by the law of supply and demand, and little would be: left of the business man's enthusi- asm for the experiment. Take out of the public mind, of the mind of Congress, and of the Adminis- tration, the idea that we are over- whelmed by our productivity and you would have the greatest diffi- culty in obtaining assent to the toll! of the processing taxes or to the relaxation of the antitrust laws. Thus, while there are many who would in theory like to see a plan- ned economy that is not why we have all this planning at the mo- ment.

In New York the attempt was made to limit sales by deny- ing licenses to new restaurants. The limitation lasted two wecks in face of the public demand for liquor and the revival of pri- vate enterprise. There sould not I believe, be a neater proof of the thesis that our experiments in regimentation are due to glutted markets, and that the appearance of scarcity would radica alter the public attitude foward them. The conciusion to be drawn is that the existing regimentation will last just as long as Congress said 4t should last: that is, for the pe- riod of the emergency; that these measures for restricting production are not revolutionary changes in| merican instit ns but tempor-| hat resemble not Rus- m but the emergen- port quotas, the exchange restrictions, the burning of coffee in Brazil, all that mass of | measures in the world over to pro- | ot the producer in markets glut- because the exchange of goods‘ has broken down. Their essential| principle is that of a temporary defense, and if they succesd in their main objective, which is to| remove the glut, or if other caus- es remove the glut, the chief in- centive which now operates them will disappear. There will remain the incidental long term social reforms which it may be possible to consolidate and | maintain by edicating public opin- | fon and by the pressure of labor organization.

A little more than 30 years ago, on December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright succeeded in a flight in the first heavier-than-air plane driven by a motor. That day they opened the way to air navigation as we know it today. It on this account that the National Aeronautical Association is laboring to have the anniversary date set aside as National Aviation Day. Without setting a day apart, the name and fame ‘of the Wright brothers is secure enough. They are not lacking in monuments. There is a memorial beacon down on the sandy wastes of Kitty Hawk.

However, these matters. in all probability will in Congress before any definite action is taken on the proposed changes, and those interested will have opportunity in the meantime to make representations to the Delegate and to Congress before the bill is disposed of. “It looks like we're going to hell,” says Mr. Fess.
