(Continued from Page 1382) haps, operate on the high wage, mass production theory and a new cycle would begin. Meanwhile, the greatest gain, the theory that as high wages as can be paid are as essential to the producer as they are desirable for the wage earner would have entered our economic theory for good and all, and the wage earner would be permanently benefitted by that fact. The quickness with which recovery could be made would probably depend on the character of the new industries to be developed. Much of the extraordinary economic advance of the past few years has been due to the tremendously wide-reaching appeal of the motor car, (the greatest of mass production industries); the tremendous influence that industry has had on those supplying it, such as steel; and the influence it has exerted by the use of its products, such as the building of roads. the readjustment of urban and country living conditions, the rise of whole new businesses depending on the motorist at home or on tour. There may be another invention similar to that in store for us. In any case, the high-wage, mass production theory will remain. It may be that it will be found applicable for any given industry only up to a certain point of consump tion but with the steady march of invention we may expect constantly to see new wants satisfied and any national "want" will bring into play mass production and high wages within the industry supplying it in its early stages. What we thus have to face is the fact that we have found the key to a permanent prosperity; that cycles of business will still continue; and that the same man will prepare for them by exercise of prudence and thrift as in the old days. The hopeful element in the situation is the change in attitude toward the wage fund, the understanding of what high wages, when possible. can do for producer as well as wag earner, and the prospect of a rising standard of living in the long run even if interrupted by set backs. What should be most emphatically protested against, however, is the teaching that there will never again be set backs, that there is no need for thrift, and that debt can be contracted with entire recklessness. That can only intensify both the misery of bad times and create : psychological situation which might easily run into social revolution when the people awoke to the deception or ignorance of their leaders.

THIS IS STARTLING enough viewed merely as a possible solution for part of our present farm problem. A vast crop which has hitherto been waste may now perhaps be rendered marketable. But it is as an example of the future prophesied by the Germans that the incident is most interesting. Suppose for an instant that wood pulp were in the same category with oil, with rubber, with certain deposits and ores. Suppose, further, that the nations of the world had been bending all their energies toward securing a monopoly of the raw material for wood pulp paper: the forests. This new product would have set at naught all their competitive struggles. The bystander who made it. practical would have altered material values completely. THERE HAS BEEN much talk of science putting such frightful engines and destructive gases in men's hands that war would finally devastate the earth and destroy civilization. But a little reflection induces the thought that this is a primitive view of technology. What seems more probable is that science will finally produce such a constantly changing world that war will become out of date as a practical method of gaining anything. Francis Profers Bellamy Outlook and Independent December 26, 1928 Government by Propaganda By FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE While awaiting the impact of fresh minds on National There is now pending in ashington the most exustive investigation of the alliance tween publicity and politics ever dertaken in this country-the FedLal Trade Commission's examinaon of the operations of the SOlled Power Trust. As that inquiry is ll sub judice, I do not think the time s yet come to pass considered judgent upon its revelations. The official pokesman of the interests directly ader fire points out that their side of e case has yet to be presented. The ference is that they expect in due urse to be able to put a better face Don disclosures which seem to incate a systematic campaign -opagandize public opinion against overnment ownership of utilities. to There can be few who will not admit at the true province of news pubcity has been invaded by pernicious actices. Undoubtedly these have rought the responsible profession of sseminating public knowledge into un-served disrepute. The uses and uses of publicity in America only rently inspired a French writer, who radio broadcaster surveyed our country, like so many itinerant foreigners, through the wrong end of the telescope, to allege that both news and editorial columns, like advertising space, have their price in the United States. I resent that slander. I know it is unjustified. In former times publicity originating in and distributed from Washington was almost exclusively political in character. It concerned the deeds or misdeeds of Congress, the activities of the President, and the functioning of the Federal Government as a whole. Today publicity about Government affairs is only a rivulet of the Niagara of information and misinformation that incessantly falls over Washington and streams thence across the country. I venture to say that there is hardly a single form of organized American activity that nowadays does not drench the National capital, and. through the capital, the Nation, with a flood of outgivings. The Washington newspaper profeshas coined a word for sion the physical forms of this "canned" intelligence. We call them "hand-outs." They pile upon us in avalanches with every mail and through an endless chain of messenger boys. During the Presidential campaign "hand-outs" attained a wholly unprecedented volume. It would be easy to consume and fill most of the space allotted me with a mere enumeration of the multifarious agencies now disporting themselves at Washington for purely publicity purposes. These agencies are non-political in themselves, but essentially political in purpose. They have pitched their tents at Washington because Washington is the law factory of the Union. Their avowed object is to bring about the passage of desired legislation or frustrate the enactment of objectionable legislation. In days of old, that ancient and more or less honorable institution known as a lobby was conducted at Washington by men who worked on Congress or Government departments by the direct approach method. It was personal influence and moral suasion, and probably, in some cases, a more negotiable talking point, which garnered votes for a pet project, or swung a party leader in a certain direction, or induced a Federal official to favor a given line of policy. The old lobby was a recognized, semi-legalized, open-and-aboveboard proposition. It consisted of men who knew what they wanted and how to get it. There was no pussyfooting. There was little circumlocution. The attack was frontal. By such methods tariff laws were writ |
