BUSINESS AND ROM CE i Some of our popular (and most expensiye) maga- 7nes have built up great circulations by pointing out how much romance there is in business, but there is “.also much business in romance. As this is the season s*2of the 3 hen the young man’s fancy lightly turns 55"%o 2 well-known topic, it is perhaps appropriate to 3 into the matter. | A one-year moratorium on romance would un-| doubtedly have a profoundly serious impact on b\l.\lv‘ ness in the United States. There are few enterprise which would not be affected. At first thought one might say that agriculture and the food industries could struggle along, and that coal mining could con- tinue, because people have to eat and to keep warm whether they happen to be in love or not. Indeed, ) it might be argued that young people under the spell of romance have particularly small appetites and don't bother much ahout temperatures, thus contributing ! Takes Off on Atlantié F ligltt | suffer a double blow when the Christmas trade came | | around. | Real estate may not sound as if it were related to romance. Yet a moratorium on romance would ause a profound readjustment in the real estate field. T'he demand for new homes, rented or owned, would cut to an extent that would depress all real estate This in turn would have its adverse effect on gage-holding banks and tax collections. The ture makers would be in despair, as well as all manufacturers of home furnishings and kitchen- be values mo: some of the results would be too confusing to t. What effect would a moratorium on romance on the automobile trade and on line Would the young man who ad hoped to marry toss his savings recklessly into automobile or would he sell his éld car and Would the honeymoon voyages of bridal to Bermuda and Niagara Falls be offset by -hearted individuals traveling alone to forget In certain directions there might be pensations. Parents who have to for instance, cor imption? new their troubles? me illusory c pay for weddings might experience a sense of relief, especially those with large families of girls. And there would certa be a boom in romantic literature, possibly bootlegged, It is doubt- ful, however, whether a moratorium on romance will ever be popular in the United States, and the proba- bilities are strong that business will continue as usval. s means of escape. biem for Another (Cleveland Plain Dealer) British rearmament is moving ahead at such g rapid pace that in eighteen months the government <pects the unemployment problem which has plagued e nation for j s to vanish. It foresees the time | hen there actually will be a shortage of labor and a | competitive demand for man power and raw materials >t up between the arms industries and the rest of the industrial community. Thus by solving one problem, that of unemploy- ment, the boom which is confidently predicted on the Lasis of Britain's $3,150,000,000 armament expenditure y creates a new one. This situation, which fidently expected to develop by such authorities s John Maynard nes, the Economist of London, and Prof. N. F. Hall, director of the National Institute | for Social and Economic Research, contains the germs | of inflation unless the government steps in. expected the government will have to be given | 1 powers not only to ration labor and materials, | investments as well. This will bring a greater | \sure of official control than Britain ever has ex- | perienced before even in war time and the outlook is | ne which the manufacturer and distributor in the | non-armament fields cannot contemplate with equa- nimity. This solution of the unemployment question is | made possible because the government has borrowed | $1,900,000,000 to supplement the regular arms appro- | priation for this year. While this money is described | as “new savings,” idle money that would not otherwise have been put to use, the effects may nog be harsh on the rest of business., But next year and the year after may bring an entirely’ different problem when out- side funds are sought. Unless the government exerts wise control the situation may get out of hand as it has in totalitarian intries where the major bulk of resources are de- | voted to non-productive rearmament. It is expected that, at the beginning, the arms program may late activity in other fields, but it is feared it c pump-prime them to the point where they can absorb the workers when armament lets down. Here example of the manner in which the states operating under totalitarian economy have forced the democra- cies to start on the adoption of totalitarian methods It is one of the economic by-products of political un- rest rampant in the world and its solution challenges the best brains of every nation. One Pr h pec ut Chess or Poke (Cincinnati Enquirer) At no time in recent years has the tangle of | European politics been quite so impenetrable as just now. As someone has flippantly observed, a war just couldn’t start now; there would have to be an inter- national conference first to find out which countries are on the same side. {World maps will ' Horosco pe he stars incline but do not compel” SUNDAY, MAY 28, 1939 This should be a fairly fortunate day, according to astrology.

From Rome there are recurring hints that Italy is not happy in the axi But in contrast to this, the actual military collaboration of the two chief Fascist powers is more extensive and intimate than ever. Poland, with the tragic memory of Czechoslovakia always in front of her, is playing a game of consum- mate shrewdness, relying on her own strength and | her allies, and yet taking care to offer Hitler every- thing she can to avoid a showdown. The most enigmatic case of all is that of Spain, where the press is wholeheartedly pro-axis and the gevernment likewise, but where no commitment ac- tually to support the axis in event of war has been established. There are a good many moves that suggest the analogy of a chess game, for pawns are shifted about | with little regard for their own interest: And many a move reflects a very farsighted objective vastly more important than the piece sacrificed. But there are other features of European politics which suggest a more plebian analogy.
