For reasons of their own they choose to think that when they pay for space that they are making a gen- erous donation to the livelihood of the editor and his cohorts.

SPAHR Chairman, Department of Economics, New York University If you were a mathematician and some person, untrained in mathe- matics, said that two and .wo make five, not four, you probably would be surprised. But you would be dismayed if the person who told you that was one who had the power to try to make two plus two equal five. After reading the President's New York ad- dress of April 27. 1 had this same feeling of consternation. To an econo- mist the reve- lations in that speech were appalling. Their portent and implications for the future of this nation are ominous. The p ble disasters and costs which this nation may have to face because of neglect in high places of economic principles are distressing to contem- plate. Unpleasant as this task is let me point out just a few of these startling revelations in that address. [t would be well if all of them could be cov- ered and the public made to under- stand them. The President said: “Reduction of costs of manufacture does not mean more purchasing power and more goods consumed. It means just the opposite.” That statement is false The thou, 1 reader will think of y Ford's progress in reducing sand in putting more cars in the S Ke wil! consider ios, re- aimost everything else. He may even recall the government's plans for cheap housing and similar proposals. The President does not ap- pear to grasp the fact that in pro- duction the prices of one concern's products are the costs of another, that low costs mean greater buying, great- er production, greater profits, greater employment, greater consumption, and a higher standard of tiving in Seneral. And the President ridiculed some economist who pointed out that two and two are four, not five. In the minds of a certain distinguished rance is bliss, but knowl- As a petal illustration of that thoug tt the President said: “Econo- ists are still trying to find out what it was that hit us back in 1929. 1 am not a professional economist, but I think I know.” That particular state- ment reveals both the keynote and the answer to the government's eco- nomic fantasies. While advancing his theory as to the virtues of higher costs, which would restrict output, the President said in the same address, “I propose to continue the fight for more goods and better homes.” This, after a pro- gram of destroying food, pigs, and so on! Speaking of lowering costs in in- dustry by the introduction of new ma- chinery and new technique and by increasing employee efficiency he said: “We do not discourage that.” The government did, however, under- take to discourage it in setting up its codes under tl.e NRA. In many codes provisions were inserted prohibiting the introduction of new machinery. He also said: “The deficit of the Federal government this year is about three billion dollars.” His Secretary of the Treasury says the deficit for the current fiscal year will be nearly six billion dollars. The President said further: “The national income of the people of the United States has risen .. . to 65 billions in the year 1936. There are no data available as to the national income for 1936. Finally, he said that distributing national income more widely “means not only the bettering of conditions of life but the end of, and insurance against, individual and national defi- cits." This may prove to be the most dangerous statement in the lot. The nation may be able to hold together and pull through despite the govern- ment’s attempts to apply some of its other economic fallacies, but if a seri- ous effort is made to carry out the distribution of wealth idea, one can- not tell how serious the consequences may be. It will lead to a dissipation of the nation’s savings, a waste of the national patrimony, the impairment of capital equipment, the loss of jobs, increasing unemployment, and per- haps even revolution. The reader, pondering the signifi- cance of the state of affairs revealed by the President's New York address, must draw his own conclusions. Some of them no doubt will be disturbing. The President is the leader of an Ad- ministration known to. follow incon- sistent, indefensible economic policies. He has now publicly proclaimed that he knows more about the economics of major problems than do the econ- omists of the country. His statement presents a phenomenon of unprece- dented seriousness.
