At any time a government attempts to regulate the economy through destruction, ‘they are violating one of the oldest lessons the Bible has given, namely, the story of Joseph and the seven years of plenty, during which the surplus was stored against the seven years of famine. The present administration, or I should say, party in power, has evidently disregarded any such lessons. Moreover, they have left the impression that the American people must have some agency to completely control every phase of life, because they are not capable of | thinking for themselves, in view of the fact that this country was founded and prospered and became the most powerful nation on earth under a system of free ‘entérprise and the age old law of supply and demand. 1 will admit that some good has been accomplished, but it was not as a result of the New Deal planning, but in spite of such meddling. Had the good been as a result of definite planning, we would not be in the situation as it exists today. We would have meat on the table, automobiles and other scarce items, at a cost the working man could afford to pay. We would have a national debt, in keeping with the income of the country to repay, and not cause the working man to pay an out-of-redson amount in taxes. The fact remains that as long as we have controls, especially price controls, we are going to have to stand in line to buy the necessities of life, We are going to have a black market. ‘We are going to 'have agency after agency for controlling the country, and which the- politiclans are afraid to disband and discard, because the more people on the government payroll means more votes for them to be re-elected. In other words, when wage and price controls are discontinued, whether it isghext month, next year, or 10 years from now, we are going to go through a period of greater inflay tion than now exists, However, when that period has passed and the law of supply and demand is in full force, 'we may not be earning socalled high wages, but $1 will buy one hundred pennies. worth, and not 25 cents worth..

POLITICAL REPORT . . . By New York Ref

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—All reasons for collapse of the once dynamic and powerful New Deal party—for it was more than the Democratic party—are found here in New York, and in such exaggerated form that they stand out. :

Here you see all the reasons. In other places they all are seldom present. All the fine tensions of brilliant minds and highly strung nervous systems which, when directed and co-ordinated by the hand of a master, performed so well in the New Deal, suddenly have snapped. The din of the discord is terrific.

People Return to Material View

IN DESPERATION managers of the Democratic party here try to revive a spirit that is gone. So we have phonograph records of Franklin D. Roosevelt's voice. So we see his widow and the son who bears his name rushed frantically to the front line to make speechs in the final days of the campaign. But it won't do the trick. Such a frenzy as experienced orice in Washington and all over the land can't last forever. It had to’ end. The people can’t stand too long the strain of idealism and noble airhs. They must go back to more materia] and understandable things, and indulge once again their little prides and prejudices, their hates and fears, : This is the end. Here you can see that so plainly, here in this great city, America in miniature, and yet more than ‘America, for here are concentrated heavily; some elements found only sparsely in the rest of the country. It is a city of great wealth, of great poverty. It has millions of people who must worry daily about their food, clothing and lodging. When depression struck, it was a heavy blight. Consequently, the millions who worked here, were grateful to a man who came along and took care that they could eat again, have a job again, and a secure and sure lodging for the night. This, too, 1s a city of culture. It honors those who write and paint and compose and perform music, and

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 4.—Secretary of State James PF.

Another Period Begins

left, and some few Communists. They divide among °

themselves, making what Tom Dewey calls “The Splinter Party”—Democrats, American Labor party, Liberal party, Communist party. Their leaders can’t agree, and the man who united the leaders, who somehow kept them all at work for the New Deal party that he built from the Democratic party, is no more, That is part of what is happening in this election in New York. So there will be a sweeping Republican vietory. An era is ended. Another begins.
