Evidently you are not read- ing American newspapers, which have replied with withering facts. Russia hasn’t the money to pay us all it owes, but how about a token payment: on that which is owed? ; 2 THE ORACLE. ten ieee UNITED EFFORTS... ee . ~-Henty Ford, Ii, says that “Production and more production” “cure” the e¢o- nomic’ ills of the United States. He should have pointed out that labor, as well as industry, plays an important part in greater production. It has been widely charged that labor, man for man, is not producing as much now as it did im- mediately preceding the last war, . Recently, Life published a series of pictures, with “éxplanations, representing What*labor was doing in various parts of the coutitry. In all lines of labor, it was producing less now, man for man, than it used to produce. Life said that, in some branches, the production was one-third less than heretofore. Among the illustra- tions to. prove that point, Life gave the Picture of a man who ‘was hanging six doors. a ,day, whereas, in the prewar period, nine doors were put up by one man. Conversely, some industries have Ybeen accused of purposely cutting down produc- tion to keep up prices. That. attitude, in the cases of both labor and industry, is vicious, and, as usual, the public generally is the chief sufferer. How- ever, in the long run, industry and labor also will be adversely affected by the higher cost of living and by economic mal- adjustments. Several . governmental eeco- nomic experts have predicted that, if the stalling of labor and industry continues at the present rate, another depression is bound to occur, though, one expert added, it will not be as long as the last depression. United efforts are needed among all classes of. Americans to re-establish the proper working of the law of supply and demand. ; “When the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe... , Freedom of religion, freedom of the préss, freedom of person under the protection of habeas corpus; and trial by juries impartially ge- leeted—these principles form thé bright- est constellation which has gone before us.” ~ —Thomas Jefferson.

While we do not. believe in too much government control of economic enter- prises; we do not hesitate to assert that it is the duty of the government, in connec- tion with abnormal scarcities to regulate prices and exercise effective control over a@ runaway condition. + The inquiries aud prosecutions being conducted by various congressmen and the Pepartment of Justice will have little ef- fect upon the current situation. The fhances are that a natural reaction will beat the inquiries and prosecutions to the inch. This means that prices will prob- ly continue to go upward until consum- é¥s are unable to pay the prices demanded. Whether the result proves to be a reces- sion or a correction remains to be discov- ered. . TWO FACTIONS Army and Navy officialdom has been split into two “political factions,” declares Ray Tucker, who alleges that the Fisen- hower and McArthur “candidacies” for the Republican presidential nomination have developed the feud. Mr. Tucker often writes with consid- erable imagination. Hts report, while in- teresting, may not be correct. He says that the buddies of both Generals are pressing their. campaign, with the MacArthur fac- tion “the, more, active ofthe two groups.” ROCKETS DISPLACING GUNS Jane’s Fighting Ships has been the au- thoritative world directory of naval power fox years. * . Consequently, interest attaches to the prediction of the publisher that rockets will supplant guns as the main weapons in battleships “in. a year or two.” ¢ ©The development ‘of rocket fire-power sduring the Jast war was one of the most -significant changes.in' warfare for decades, Apparently, the new, weapon meets the requirements of the experts and is here to istay. ing challenges frrom Soviet Russia to prove the worth of the “American way of life,” so long as the United States continues its progress in tax-supported, free public schools. This is a declaration which deserves attention from Americans who are wont to decide the public schools of the nation. It should be understood, of course, that the function of the public school is to pre- vent all educational processes from being cast in a single mold. There are, upon occasions, some teachers who hold forth on various “isms” but there is no central authority to direct the teachings and the policies of the pub- lie schools of this country. This means that there is no strait-jacket for intellec- tual processes and the variety of thought represents strength, not weakness. According to a recent Soviet lecture: “Class distinctions and the class struggle could be represented in (American) films, but this is not done. .. . The Amer- ican film is ruled by people who really should be sent to the electric chair.” Such tripe makes for just that which we in the United States wish to avoid. ALMOST TWO PEOPLE William Allen White, a small-time Kansas editor, acquired a_ nation-wide reputation and despite his pretended pro- vincialism, moved into some prominence. Ralph Adams Brown, in reviewing a recent volume about the Emporia editor, calls attention to the paradoxical. philos- opher-politician, who could “be a small- time machine. politician as far as his Kansas outlook was concerned” and in the national arena show such. “clarity and vision” that “the two groups of writings” seem almost to have been written by two different human beings. The critic also calls attention to the fact that Mr. White was quick to cateh the menace of Adolf Hitler and courageous enough to risk almost certain defeat as an independent candidate for Governor “in order to attack the Ku Klux Klan. At the same time, while “disapproving Harding as an individual, he could yet support him for the Presidency—because he had be- come the Republican nominee.” noon from Jacksonville to the} Florida Keys.
