But I am not. The outlook is too gloomy. Developments of the last few weeks have combined to make me a pessimist of the first water. I hope I am wrong; yet present conditions force the conclusion that this country faces a condition as serious as that through which it passed in 1932 and 1933. There is no reason evident to me why we should not face the facts, discouraging as they appear. So, let us consider some of the things that have happened lately, and some that are happening these days. Only in that way, I believe, can we get a correct understanding of this new depression which a thousand government propagandists insist upon calling a recession. Four months ago, industry began to lay off men and women workers. There was no market for the goods they were manufacturing. The reduction in payrolls was necessary to avoid bankruptcy. Nobody can afford to pay workers if there is no work to do. Dismissal of workers continued in an volume until on January 1, the great General Motors corporation laid off something like 60,000 men at one 0 time and placed its remaining week. workers on a four-daThat action, while it appears sensational, was illustrative of what had been going on during the four months that I mentioned; it brought public attention and political attention to a focus, but it was sensational only because of the numbers. It made an in nression that dismissal of a few or several hundred here and there had failed to make. During this same period, prices were undergoing a natural and normal reaction. Some were up; some were down. Altogether, they were condition. and are in a topsy-turvGovernment business analysts smelled the mouse. They were watching all of the trends that were evident during those four months. Those officials in high places and charged With responsibility for national welfare were informed of what was in prospect. But government propaganda continued to show bright and smiling faces in the picture. It wont last, they were saying in the written and spoken words It is a psychological condition, Pres ident Roosevelt said and thereby made the same mistake that President Hoover made when he an nounced that prosperity was just around the corner in 1931. It is the same old corner and it is the same old prosperity, but apparently the Roosevelt admimstration is going to have just as much trouble finding either the corner or the prosperity as Mr. Hoover did. ever-growin- g 200,-00- y y To get back to the sequence of events: the time came when the responsible officials More Trust had to say some- - Busting istence sion. of thun2 b-- v of W!,y admitting the exthe depression "reces Mr Roosevelt, it will be re- called, went olf on a fishing trip around December 1.

We have it now in full flower a great drive against all of those sinful b'g business interests who simply must be the folks responsible for the depression. Of course, it should be remembered at the same time that there must be a goat" when politics gets balled up, and big business again is the goat" of the administration. In consequence of the crash In business, the collapse of the theories of the long haired crew that seeks to remould America under the guise of New Deal plans, and the gtneral running out of Democrats on the New Deal leadership, the country is now to be treated to another g drive comparable to that conducted by the late Theodore Roosevelt when he was President. Yes, big business can always be attacked, cajoled, threatened. It is a proper stunt, nearly always resorted to by politicians and otheis who find themselves locked within me meslvs of their own fishnets Big business is the red herring that the administration is trying to drag across tlie trail. It is because the administration is attempting to conceal its mistakes, and make people forget them instead of doing a live job that I find myself nt in the early weeks of 1933 to the dtive on The real big business was in the form of a spent h by Mr. Jatkson who said by way of the radio that; The only way to insure a reasonably steady well being for the na trust-bustin- con-str- tip-of- T tion as a whole is for the government to act as an impartial overseer of our industrial progress, ready to call a halt at all times on monopolistic practices which threaten to throw our economy out of order. That theory is basic with most of the New Dealers. America must be made responsive to the Washington government. It is that theory to which more and more business men, little as well as big, are objecting. They are fearful of it for the reason that they can not see how this administration or any that may follow will be impartial in overseeing industry. It is quite natural for a political group to be intent upon preDemand for full satisfaction for the bombing of H. M. S.

So political guns are turned on big business but my guess is that little business will be hurt more than big business by the refusal of the Wallaces, tlie Ickes, the Oliphants, the Jerome Franks, the Corcorans and the Cohens to recognize that Hitlers style of business management must fail here as in Germany. The frankest statement about the whole thing has come from Mr. Roosevelt himself. He declared reof incently that ventories was responsible for the current depression. That is to say, producers and manufacturers, feeling that business was booming, produced or manufactured too much. They did not recognize that the better business we appeared to have in one hundredth birthday.

I have an idea that Mr. Roosevelt will be attacked from a dozen dilTerent directions. peace organizations will try to pin his ears back and make him say uncle," but I have gained tlie impression that Mr. Roosevelt will adhere to his program. Cortainly, nearly all students of international alTairs agree that he is 100 per cent right. In a letter to house leaders, Mr. Roosevelt suggested the necessity for construction of two battleships, two light cruisers, eight destroyers and six submarines dunng tlie fiscal year beginning next July 1. These craft are in addition to other naval construction already considered for the next fiscal year. It will take two or three years to build some of these boats. Planning and preliminary woik ought to be started on them as soon as possible. Mr. Roosevelt believes tlie woik ought to start right away and after all I think most folks will agree that the Piebident is in a better position than anyone else in the couutiy to know what the dangers are. $ Wes'cro Newspaper Union. i fair hand at indorsing things.
