The Business Man: We will never have times again like those of the last three or four years. The Professor: Unless we have another war. The Busin Man: Yes, unless we have another war. The Professor: It's strange, sir The Business Me What's strange? The Professor: That we don’t know how to continue in peace the economic contentment that we enjoyed during the war. It took a hideous war to establish a better standard of living than millions of men had ever known before Pov- erty was reduced to.a rfiinimum and most of us had more of the creature comforts and of luxuries than we ever dream- ed was possible. Does it not bespeak our folly and stupidity that we cannot make peace as prosperous as we made war? The Busin Man: You're right. It is horrible to think that our best times were war-times. But how shall we get back to normal? The Professor: Somehow we will get back to normal. But is the old normal What we really want? Shall we recede from the higher standard of living we established? A year ago there was a universal demand for better homes. Shall Americans abandon the yearning for more comfortable home life and resign themselves to enduring the “normal” housing evils? Getting back to the OLD normal is the asiest of our problems. But the first problem of genuine statesmanship is how to maintain at least a few of our NEW standards. Reconstruction does not mean to go back, but to go forward. Tt has been tried before! Other years farmers have seen the buying power bear down prices just when the food producer ts upon the threshold of the market. And as often he saw those same buyers boost prices immediately after get ting their hands upon the food, wheat, meat, vegetables —whatever the farmer haa sold. The result always was bard times on farme Hard times there means less buying power for militons of Americans Lack of farm buying means fewer city goods sold to rund customers. This, in turn, makes for unemployment in cities, The city consumer does not benefit by these annual harvest price drops. The retailer is not buying directly from the producer, He is buying from the middleman, who, by the way, is the only man getting @ profit out of the autumn price manipulation. But the low in rural buying power docs affect the city man. throws many city workers out of jobs. Only a few reap the profit—those who depress prices to buy and inereane them to sell. The many reap the lomses—the producers in field and factory And this woeful weakness in the marketing system has been revealed year after year, Couldn’t Keep It Up “Cubans made millions while the price of sugar was up; now in panic,” says an Eastern authority. It's a panic due to inability to go right on making tnitety, and that’s at the bottom of most of the talk hear about bust ness depression in America Our copper kings, makers, textile manufacturers and others, who are now suspending operations or reduc ing wages directly, have been making abnormal profits for four or five years past and they feel panicky because readjustment means a return to normal profits as well as to normal wager They say that we bave tn our midst ten thousand more millidnaires than we had before the war, If #0, we also have ten thousand timer ten thousand others who have become very rich, altho not yet In the millionaire class, and perhaps « miilion others who have acquired more wealth than they ever dreamed of pomeasing. Naturally there ts aw feeling of depression by thone who have found ft pleasant to pile up money rapidly and must now get down to the normal Spread the big profite taken the past five years over a period of ten years and everything would now be going along as smoothly as if greased. But, how a fellow dors hate to let ko of a cinch! ar . What’s in a Name?

And it is just possible, as they inet: that they in the islands, better than we Americans over here, are the best judges of whether they are fitted for independence Of course, no American doubts but that the Philippines will be free some day. The question t«: When? Let it not have to follow a Filipino rebeltion. The United States wants no such outburst in the Philippines as England faces in Ireland.
