FICTION That the ery of “cheap money com- petition” does not stand up seems. to be; evidenced by a comparison of the figures of our export and import trade with Great Britain, our best customer, for the year 1930, when Great Britain was on the gold standard, and 1931, when the English na- tion left the gold standard and adopted “cheap. money.” In 1930. our imports from Great Britain were $210,000,000 and our exports | to her were $678,000,000. In 1931, our imports were $135,500,000 and our ex- ports $455,600,000. Great Britain was off the gold standard for only three months of 1931. The imports from France _ in 1921 were $141,900,000, while in 1931 they were $79,200,000. ‘ Germany in 1924 exported to us goods to the value of $80,300,000, which has in- creased to $127,000,000 in 1931, but Ger- man goods were unpopular with us right after the war. Canada sold us goods to the value, of $335,000,000 in 1921 and only $266,000,- 000 in 1931. ‘ Japan sold us goods to the value of $251,300,000 in 1921 and only $205}400,- 000 in the year 1931. If “cheap money’? has resulted in dumping goods into the United States the records do not show it. The captains of industry know how to get what they want, even if they are not in control of congress majorities. INDUSTRIES WANTED What our country and the entire world needs at the present time is a sen- sible distribution of labor, We need new industries in which may be employed our surplus labor. The brewing industry, which will be brought to life again as soon as congress passes the needed legislation, will provide a field of employment that will be a great help. We need a num- ber of new industries to take up the labor slack. ‘As soon as we have found work. for our idle hands and they .begin creating things which can.be exchanged, through the medium of trade, for the surplus quantities of agricultural products _and manufactures we have on hand, the coun- try will begin to get back to prospérity | again. There are signs that the new. dis- tribution of labor is in progress and its re- sult should be felt in better business. Our people can consume our surpluses as soon as the people can get at them. At the present time everybody is _ economizing and the result is a business stagnation that will be hard to overcome. The farm al- lotment bill looks like a good thing and the reduction of interest and the extension of loans is another. Loans by the govern- ment to our farmers, if they can be ar- ranged, will also be a great help. Cir- culation is what the country needs. There is reason to believe that the incoming Roosevelt administration will find a way to get it. THE ROOSEVELT METHOD President-elect Roosevelt seems to be going about his preparations for taking over the office of chief magistrate of the country in a sensible and efficient man- ner. He is not taking anything for granted but is making a first hand study of the national situation. He is talking to any- body and everybody, There can be no doubt that he is stor- ing away in his mind a great deal of data regarding the problems. he must meet. Unlike President Hoover, whose in- sion. to discover things for him, Franklin D. Roosevelt is going about the business of learning things for himself. He is inter- viewing and being interviewed and he is listening to some, and discussing with others. He is exhibiting a, judicial tem- perament instead of a dogmatic belief in himself. , |, When the time comes to decide on matters there is every reagon to believe that he will have a very definite and satis- factory program. New York isto have an anti-noise campaign, in which the speakeasies will doubtless lend hearty cooperation. Uncle Sam will again talk over the war debts, and The Citizen’s guess is that the result will refute the idea that talk is cheap, — ane ae ane | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Our Governmént —How It It Operates By William Beackert DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE HE! development of the United States as a nation, from the be: ginning, has centered in commerce ; and industry. We apparently have | become now a traditionally business people. The growth of our popula- | tion and the growth of our business structure has been coincidental. Lapses have occurred in. business development, of course, but the} people always have found a | menennnenee out and always have gone on ex- panding in influence among the na- tions of the world, in’ development of new. and better things, in con- tent among ourselves. In yiew of this condition, then, why should not this great factor of our. national life be recognized with something of permanency be- sides the printed record of our do- ings? Holding the belief that there should be this recognition, am not among those who complain that the congress directed the. expenditure of a reckless amount of money for | eonstruction of the building in Washington that is the home of the Department. ofsCommerce... This building of three city blocks: in length and one in width, and with its seven stories.of height, will stand “until the sands. of the desert grow cold” as a sign of the nation’s wealth. But what is going on within that stricture? Thousands of workers ere’ busy;.the yery,.aspect of it typifies American life. Althongh ..one».of «the newer of the executive departments,. it is one:.of.the largest; . It. was made /so because commerce. and industry | after week. Because it.is interested in every phase of commerce and industry, sought a central place to ge for ad- vice,. for consultation about sits problems,..for records of the past and: of the present. g | Let us just make a, tour of the place and see the manifold activ- |" ities that go on day by day, week aside from agriculture to which the }government has.dedicated 9 separ- ate agency, there are units of the Department of Commerce given over to all of these things. It has the great bureau of foreign and domestic comngprce, given over to the broad phases of domestic and foreign business operations of those who produce and sell as well as of those who buy, It has a branch given over to aeronautics, with all bf its attendant interests, and has & bureau of mines that is far reach- ing in the work that it does in con- nection ) with: the nation’s great mining Industry. Besides these, there is tat yast imstitution, the bureau of standards whose name tells. absolutely noth- ing about, the myriad tricks which its personnel makes science do for the common weal. That bureau, of which we will have. more later, stands alone ‘in the whole world as @\ many-minded, many-armed giant se multiple purposes, and yet of the single: purpose to make this world a better place in whictt to live, And of the United States patent office, there. must be more. than passing mention. Commerce and industry-owes as much to that agen- cy as it does to the bureau of standards, because, had not the fa- thers. foreseen that persons were going, to. invent the. telephone or the automobile or the millions of other things used in daily life and provided protection for them,: they would .never have been able to at- tract the capital necessary to pro- duce them. So that patent office ‘Stands as a great bulwark assuring the +genius, of the nation that it shall haye the fruits of. its energies expended’ in the direction of inven- tion. ‘Then for shipping, for the fishing industry, there is provision for government help through the bureau of; Mghthouses, the burean of fish- eries, the. bureau of navigation, the coast and geodetic survey, and the steamboat inspection service. Each in its sphere is.an aid to the com- merce and industry ; each in its own way provides protection for life property. Imagine, if you will, what condi- tions would be if ships were com- led to, sail uncharted coast lines and harbors and passage with- maps, without buoys er mark- ers, without lighthouses. Few per- gongs would care to invest money in that were faced with such conditions, snd fewer persons would care to trust their lives on their say Subscribe for The Citizen—20~ a week.
