Nation Headed for New Prosperity Peak, Asserts Sears, Roebuck Founder

Banish Fear, Halt Spirit of Speculation, Advises Col. A. C. Roebuck. BY FREDERICK G. MATSON History shows that each economic depression is followed by a period of prosperity, according to Col. A. C. Roebuck, cofounder 50 years ago of Sears, Roebuck Cos. Col. .Roebuck today was bound westward after spending the weekend in Indianapolis visiting the local oranch of the nation-wide mail order and department store house. Col. Roebuck, a Hoosier, born in Lafayette, is a confirmed optimist. Gay, sprightly and active despite his 70 odd years, he feels the future of American business and industry is secure, in spite of the dark days of the last six years and the war clouds that hover over Europe. Experienced Other Depressions "We have had depressions before." he said. “I have been through quite a few of them, myself. And we probably will have a few more, but I feel confident that we in America will come out on top." “The United States, during the 130 years ended in 1930, has experienced 13 major depressions," the colonel continued. “In the last 75 years these slumps in business have occurred once in about every nine years.” “Hut here is the catch. History shows that during each depression the belief has prevailed that opportunity was a thing of the past. Following each depression, however, we have enjoyed a greater period of prosperity than before.” Fears Speculative Trend Col. Roebuck’s chief concern about the next few months is the apparent trend toward excessive speculation in the market. “If we can stop the speculative ambition, the greatest danger of another orgy resembling 1929 will be eliminated,” he declared. The so-called evils of technological unemployment were dismissed

by the colonel with apparently sound logic. These were his words: "Automatic and other improvements in machinery are looked upon by many persons as responsible for overproduction and unemployment. We are too prone to accept the statement and pass it on to'others. But I don’t think it will survive in the light of analysis. Cites Tecnical Progress "During the 50 years that have intervened since I started as a watchmaker, wonderful progress has been made in the development of automatic machinery, and yet salaries have more than doubled. “It is also conspicuous that those nations which have held on to comparatively primitive methods have an extremely low wage scale. “Banish fear and stop the specuative spirit—that’s my recommendation,” he concluded. Col. Roebuck is supervising anew division for the study and development of mechanical improvements and patents at Chicago under W. I. Westervelt, Sears-Roebuck technical director.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PRESIDENT, AIDS ARE FLAYED IN VETERANS' TALK ‘They’re Seeking to Destroy U. S. Principles,’ Hayes Tells Republicans. Republican Veterans of Indiana today were pondering the attack of Edward A. Hayes, former American Legion national commander, on New Deal leaders and policies. Speaking yesterday in English’s, Mr. Hayes assailed President Roosevelt and his aids, who, he charged, are seeking to destroy the basic principles of American government. He called upon the veterans to "save the nation by producing a leader with courage, American background and knowledge.” Declaring that "a group of confidence men” are tearing down the government and scrapping the Constitution, Mr. Hayes asserted that the New Deal is arousing class prejudice in an effort to destroy the middle class. Obstacle Is Outlined * "The inherent adherence of the people to the Constitution is the greatest obstacle in the path of ‘further experiments’ by the Administration,” he declared. "Any former service man who supports the policies of the Administration should be ashamed to pay homage to his fallen comrades on Memorial Day, and should have nothing to do with the Administration in the future,” he declared. “We as Republicans must adopt a set of rules and ideals that are fundamentally American to be successful,” he declared. Other Leaders Speak Other Republican leaders who spoke were Mayor George W. Freyermuth, South Bend; Ralph S. Gates, Fourth District chairman; Mayor A. H. Bemdt, Bloomington; Mrs. Charles Combs, Bloomfield, Seventh District vice chairman. Candidates at the meeting included Elza O. Rogers, Lebanon; Herbert H. Evans, Newcastle, and Raymond O. Springer, Connersville, who are seeking the gubernatorial nomination; Floyd O. Jellison, South Bend; Wilbur S. Donner, Greencastle. and Chester A. Davis, candidates for congressional nominations in their respective districts. Resolutions asking state and national committees “to follow sane American principles” were adopted.

LOCAL YOUTH HELD ON FORGERY CHARGE Admits Signing Doctor’s Name to Check, City Authorities Say.

BOARD SUGGESTED TO SETTLE DISPUTES Mongul-Manchu Body May Deal With Border Incidents. By United Press MOSCOW, March 16. Outer Mongolia and Manchukuo have agreed to set up a joint commission to settle border disputes according to reports received today from Ulan Bator (Urga), Mongolian capital. The Manchukuoan foreign ministry, the reports said, has sent Foreign Minister Gendun a note accepting proposals for organization of a mixed Mongol-Manchu board to deal with frontier incidents. The Manchukuoan note asked what questions the Mongolian government wished to entrust to such a commission and where the commission should meet. Gendun replied that the Mongolian government considered the basic task for the commission would first concern the circumstances and causes of the armed clash Feb. 12 at Bulun Dersu, Mongolian border point. In this clash, according to Mongolian charges, 500 Japanese and Manchukuoan troops crossed the Mongolian border, engaged in a skirmish with a lesser number of Mongolian border guards and drove them several miles into the interior. The Monogolian note emphasized that if the commission settles the Feb. 12 incident successfully, it would be desirable to have it consider other incidents and clashes which have taken place in 1935 and 1936. Methods to be used in preventing future trouble along the borders also might be considered by the commission, the Mongolian reply suggested. ENTERS G. 0. P.
