The principal cause of this great human problem of depression he finds in the unfortunate over produc tion of raw materials such as rub ber, sugar, coffee and silver. Most of this overproduction, he says, takes place in other countries. (He fails to mention our own surplus of tex tiles, wheat and coal.) Foreign over production reduces foreign purchas ing power and makes it impossible for the foreigner to buy our goods. In this way it visits depression upon us. One who approached the problem from a less "human" and more "aca demic" point of view might inquire what Mr. Hoover means when he speaks of "overproduction." Does he mean that the world has produced more goods than its people can con ceivably consume? Mr. Hoover ad mits that his goal of the "abolition of poverty" is yet to be attained. Certainly, then, overproduction must mean merely that more goods have been produced than can be sold at the prevailing level of prices. There is not enough purchasing power to buy them unless prices are cut. Why not? For one reason, the supply of gold, on which our currency is based, cannot be increased as rapidly as trade increases; but this fact Mr. Hoover dismisses from consideration. For another, society's income is be ing used too largely to build new machines. Not enough of it goes to those who would spend it to pur chase the good produced by the ma chines. But Mr. Hoover professes to believe that we have already learned how to get the produ ts cf our fac tories into the hands of our people. Mr. Hoover would solve this lmma.i problem by having the bankers cre ate a boom psychology by scattering sunshine and handing out credit with a free hand. It does not occur to him that business pessimism has rested on anything more substantial than human perversity. Industry is to be resuscitated by pep talks. Indeed, Mr. Hoover tells us that we have a self-contained economic system and can revive our business without regard to the economic con dition of the rest of the world. Other nations inflictd depression upon us; bus business recovery is to be a do mestic, self-generating affair ir 1930, as it was in 1'j'22. Our recovery in 1922. it is true, received its im petus largely from domestic sources. Building construction, automobile manufacture and installment selling; played their part. Can that repeat in 1930? Today we find ourselves largely overbuilt. The automobile market approaches saturation. The consumer has mer chandise on which he is still mak ing payments. A further vital factor in the iocovery of 1922 was the manufacture of goods which were sent to Europe as a loan. By enact - ling the O run ay-Hoover tarin we have refused to receive interest or principal from that loan and have prevented the further sale of our goods abroad on credit. It is tru. as Mr. Hoover says, that 90 per cent of our trade is domestic while ony 10 per cent is foreign; but that 10 per cent determines the prosperity of entire industries, such at wheat, automobiles and the like, upon whose continued operation the fate of Am erican business depends. It is to su:h exporting industries that our new tariff law has dealt a body blow. Business crises, says Mr. Hocvor, are not inevitable. We have con quered typhoid and smallpox by science. By science we still conqter the business cycle. But the scier ce of economics he scornfully rejects as "academic." preferring to ap approach the problem as a "human" one. Two of the remedies suggested by economic science, however, he has embraved; namely, the maintenance of purchasing power by the preser vation of wage levels and the allev iation of unemployment by the ex tension of public works. Perhaps this part of the program is "human" as well as "academic." The other proposals of economic science he has rejected. Economics would have to show him that rapid and decisive advances in rediscount rates could have been made to pre vent a large part of the speculative inflation of security prices. But the human solution was to increase rates tardily and reluctantly and let the market soar. Scores of social scien tists fought for the passage of the Wagner bills, which would have de creased unemployment by creating a system of free public employment of fices. Perhaps it was human, rather than inhuman, to allow that bill to jar. y degree of accuracy the preval die in the House. More than 1200 ence of crime or its chief sites and economists appealed to the President sources, nor any way of ascertaining to veto the Grundy tariff bill. They which common statutes were most were "academic" and he, alas, was all often and most flagrantly violated. "human " The "human" ap- jproach to smallpox and typhoid was that of scourging the victim to drive out the devils which infested him. The academic approach lias been that of preventive medicine. Mr. Hoover still holds to his pur pose of abolishing "intellectual and economic poverty." We are at one with him iu this desire. With him we believe that the present depres sion is a "temporary halt in the march of progress"; but if economic poverty is to be abolished we must fi-st abolish the intellectual poverty which disparges the accomplishments Of science and endeavors to conceal administrative weakness beneath the e.oak of meaningless phrases. Mr. Hoover puts the cart before the horse. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. : o : THE ANTI-WAR COVENANT The British, Belgian, Danish and Austrian representatives in the judi cial committee of the League of Na tions urged timely action in complet ing the proposal, in conformity with the Kellogg pact, to prescribe the latitude of the prohibition of war. Philip Baker of Great Britain said that the public expected prompt con clusion; Max Koffinger of Austria averred that the public would lose confidence in the League were a de cision postponed until next year; Holger Anderson of Denmark declar ed that failure to act would be a backward step; Henri Rolin of Bel gium backed up the British spokes man. The covenant and its principles will tend both to display the ideals of peace and to prevent war. The proposal will specify the standards of peace, and nations always will have them in mind. Yet. it is regrettable to note, gov ernments or peoples will be swayed by selfish interests and gainful de sires, which will cause them to ignore the blessings of peace. The spirit of peace does not prevail at present in Europe. It will be necessary to teach everywhere to the common people the humanitarian ideals which are the Inspiration of liberty, happiness and progress in the United States. :o: AN UNFAIR ASSERTION Aside from the question of prohi bition, or any other question but that of justice, the public statement made by Dr. Clarence True Wilson that Mr. Dwight Morrow's victory in the New Jersey primaries was because the Re publican nominee for United States senator "was Col. Charles Lind bergh's father-in-law," must be ad judged as farfeteched malingering. It properly should reflect discredit on Dr. Wilson, as. there being no basis of fact for it. the motive of dis like and object of injury are obvious. Dr. True could as reasonably say that the New Jersey voters wculd nominate the Lindbergh baby for United States senator because it was Col. Lindbergh's baby. But the baby has not disagreed honestly in a mat ter of opinion from Dr. Wilson, nor is it old enough to get into politics. In case of Mr. Morrow, who is a man of conviction, and had achieved suc cess and competence before the avia tor married his daughter, the griev ance of Dr. Wilson is that Mr. Mor row dares not only to have a con scientious, personal opinion, but also to declare it. :o: TWO-DOLLAR WHEAT IN FRANCE Because France prescribes impor tation of wheat until all of that grown at home is consumed, the pres ent price of this breadstuff is $2 the bushel. Th grain cultivated in Fiance is considerably inferior to the American or Canadian product; as may be said likewise of the wheat produced in Russia and Austria, which have surplus for export. There would be a large market for American wheat, a market large enough to absorb our total yield, yield, were the Orientals induced and trained to use it. In fact, it wculd be a clever idea for the Federal Farm Board, which probably will be oblig ed to take a big financial loss this year, to sell some wheat cheaply to people not used to eating it, and teach them how to make white bread. Were the farmers organied as a huge corporation, this is what their con cern would do. It is difficult to develop new, di rect uses for grain in the United States. But there is a commercial op portunity to expand the market by finding new customers, the greatest number of whom have never tasted wheat-bread. :o: For a decade after the war, while major offenses against the law grew appallingly more numerous, there existed no method of checking with BAKING POWDER 25 25 You save in using KC. Use LESS than of high priced brands. FOR OVER IT'S DOUBLE ACTING DEMOCRATIC TREND Democratic ascendency may mean all that Attorney-General Bettman says it must mean, but nothing at present appears to be more plainly indicated than that the present po litical trends throughout the Nation are pointing toward impressive Dem ocratic success, not only in this year's senatorial and congressional contests, but in the next presidential election. In Ohio, as elsewhere, the tariff is not popular. The Ohio State Jour nal Just has repudiated it. Prohibi tion and industrial depression here, as everywhere else throughout the country, incite an immemorial psy chological reaction on the part of the electorate. Even Speaker of the House Long worth is quoted as having admitted in a recent interview that the Demo crats would gain heavily in the next House, leaving his party perhaps only a nominal majority. He is said to have predicted that the Demo cratic gains would be heaviest in in dustrial districts because of unem ployment, adding, however, that the greatest source of dissatisfaction was not unemployment, but the growing dissatisfaction over prohibition, which seems certain to be responsible for the defeat of many dry Republi cans in November. Collier's Weekly, in its current is sue, goes farther. It predicts a Dem ocratic majority in the House, bas ing its judgment on the "observed fact" that financial disturbances such as the country now is going through are almost invariably followed by a defeat of the party in power. Only a great issue, more Important to the voters than economic conditions, says this authority, ever prevents this from happening after a period of de pression, averring that no such great issue now is in sight. Historical support for this predic tion abundantly is to be found in the history of three great depressions of the past and their effects upon the congressional elections immediately following the depressions of 1844, 1874, 1893. The New York Outlook and Inde pendent militantly is urging the sup port of a preponderant number of Democratic candidates for the Sen ate and the House. In Ohio the candidacy of Mr. Bulk ley appears to be assuming over whelming proportions seems to in dicate that he may carry the state by more than 100,000 not alone be cause of his position with reference to prohibition, but because he holds the confidence of the people as a statesman whose economic compre hension and convictions arc superior to any partisan dictation. In Pennsylvania, the Gibraltar of Republicanism, there is serious re volt against Pinchot, while in New York the nomination of Dr. Carroll represents the attempt of the Anti Saloon League to punish the Repub lican Party for having nominated a wet candidate for Governor.
