And out of this experiment will come progress just as out of the scientist's laboratory come new truths about the world in which we live. A great many sincere students of economics point to weaknesses in the NRA system that may, in the future, prove serious. It is probably true there are many faults in the NBA,- It is, more or less, a step in the dark; it represents repre-sents hope. As faults develop, they will be patched as well as possible. Every effort vm be made to make the system work. If, in the end, it proves workable, either in whole or in part, America will not hesitate to change it or to abolish it entirely. Witness America's courageous experiment in prohibition. prohibi-tion. At tremendous expense, we attempted to eradicate the evils of intoxicating liquor by abolishing liquor itself. We opened our prisons to receive violators, and we hired an army of sleuths to catch them. But prohibition failed, so today we are repealing it. We will now try sane regulation, and temperance, and education. - - Just now we are fighting the obvious evils of unemploy-menty unemploy-menty arbitrarily shortening the working week. We have abolished child labor entirely. We are trying to set up higher high-er standards of wages. We hope to accomplish two things : reduce unemployment and increase the purchasing power of the nation. In doing this we are deliberately violating many I6ng-established American principles. We are denying the right of free competition in business and industry, for instance in-stance We are dropping our ancient fight against trusts and price-fixing monopolies. We have found that the old, way did not work smoothly; we are trying something new, and we are doing it in an orderly manner. Perhaps, as some economists point out, we are making mistakes. Perhaps it is silly to plow up wheat and cotton, to reduce production, to decrease the total wealth produced annually wealth not measured in dollars but in bushels and tons and bales, wealth which consists of food and raw materials ma-terials from which both necessities and luxuries can be made. Yet the present step seems necessary if we are to give our experiment a fair trial. J, L O -y If , on the other hand, our NRA experiment leads us to stagnation, if it results in stifling progress of either business busi-ness or individual, we will be forced to change again, to try something else. But we will have facts learned from experiencewhich experi-encewhich is simply another word for experiment to help us find the way forward. America will never be content to standstill. Even if work is provided for all who wish it, and if what we now consider con-sider a decent standard of living becomes universal that will not be enough. We will demand still better standards of living. We have the land, the raw materials, the machines and men to develop a new civilization in this country, a high-Ter"living high-Ter"living standard than the world has ever known if we have the brains, the intelligenceto do it. High courage, a spirit of adventure, may be needed to carry forward the experimentation, the fact finding, as we climb the rocky road of progress. Howdy, folks!

After studying tne situation as set forth in your Sunday paper I can see no reason fo rnot having a lot of Provo's unemployed already busy on this improvement. They need the work, perhaps more than we need the improvement. But it is certain that it is better that we pay the money for the improvement improve-ment to the workers and get something some-thing for it, than to have to pay it later on to them and get nothing but their thanks ror it. Besides, the workers will have the satisfac tion of knowing they earned it and are not subjects of charity. Having been in the contracting -- business nearly all my life I feel that I know something about the merits of these two types of construction. con-struction. There is no comparison for if the concrete is properly put down it should last on our streets indefinitely, while I am doubtful if the other would be anything but a nuisance after three years of use. I know too that charity begins at home, and that every dollar that is expended for this purpose that can be, should stay right here in this city for the benefit of our un employed and our merchants. A well built concreve pavement needs no boosting, it speaks for itself. The price submitted for this job is the lowest Provo has ever had and probably the lowest it will ever get, so if we are jfoing to do anything we better be doing it now before snow flies and our municipal munici-pal worries become greater. The difference in the cost of the two materials as applied to a fifty foot lot, is so trilling, in comparison compari-son with the great difference in value, that it seems strange that any one would hesitate to choose the heavier type of construction that we already know is serving so well on the heaviest traveled streets of the city. Especially is this so when we consider that the payments cover a period of ten years. We should either get busy right now while we can, or definitely definite-ly call it off until such time as we feel that it can and will be done right. Respectfully, 'B. MUHLESTEIN.

The White House saw to it that the cruiser stayed but two hours at Havana, that Swanson didn't disembark and that he was greeted not by Welles, but by a mere secretary. secre-tary. Welles has been criticized for being "asleep" before the junta's coup. Actually, he had been warning warn-ing the department in effect not to be surprised to wake up some morning and find a new crowd in power. rpHE well-known publicity itch of the Navy for its Marines has also given the diplomats a pain in the neck. Cuban ship and troop movements were accompanied by a maximum of' ballyhoo. The job could have been done much more quietly. But there has been talk of disbanding the Marine Corps and the Navy had been taken out of Haiti and the Virgin Islands. So here was a chance for the boys to strut their stuff. T-ENNETH MILLER SIMPSON hopes his tombstone will bear the inscription that he was one of the most patient men of his time. He is the NRA deputy administrator adminis-trator whom General Johnson chose to handle the great steel, oil and coal codes involving far more responsibility than any other deputy has had. Simpson is an even-tempered and 8oft-spoken conciliator who avoids hard-boiled, spectacular tactics. tac-tics. His toughest job was oil, which brought here everyone from the one-pump, hot-dog filling station sta-tion owner to Standard Oil of New Jersey. His problems included the fight between the price fixers and the big company anti-price fixers and strife over marketing methods, plus an incredibly bitter fight over the use of trading stamps.
