E. A, | ~ Argument Is Begun 1 BY BRUCE CATTON l Long after recovery from the depression has been completed, we shall probably be arguing earnestly‘ about what caused the recovery. “ YMas it due to this that, or the other specific meas ure adopted at Washington? Or did it come of it sélf.: in spite of what Washington did? This argument has begun already. : Oh one sige you have the theory that our cyclical , swing, from prosperity to depression and back again, I hae, been steadily increasing in velocity for half a century, and that this last time it carried out econ omy. down so far that our whole social organization would have collapsed if a remedy had not been ap plied. _Oh the other, there is the belief that this de pression differed little from its predecessors, and that pecovery would have proceeded just as fast—if not, in fact, a little faster—if Washington had kept its hands off entirely. This latter viewpoint is ably expressed by Neil Carothers, director of the College of Business Ad minfstration at Lehigh University. E¢onomists, says prof. Carothers, realize that the' (;‘ia,l_\‘mes of a depression “spring from our system of capitalistic production, in which goods are made far in advance of the market by means of borrewed credit and invested funds. It seems to be estab lished that depression comes when this credit-secu rities-investment system of production becomes over stimulated.” ¢ Now this, says Prof. Carothers, is a system which inevitably rights Itself. It never quite capsizes. Economists, he adds, “know that the only cure is xh‘h% one remedy for all human ills—time.” " The chief trouble with this theory seems to be its belfef that human affairs are carried on in a vacuum. ‘W_;hen an economist talks of producers, consum ers, investors, and so on, he is not speaking of units in an academic chess game; he is speaking of ~ human beings who have a nalve way of getting angry when they lose their money ‘and their jobs, and who will stand privation only about so long be fore they go out to bust something. A depression like the last one might right itself, ;t given plenty of time; but the people who are Jiving through it are apt to tear the house down while they are waiting. Depending on time to effect a cure is like de o fi'dmg on time to relieve an attack of acute appen- Qi %k it may work—and, on the other hand, the patient may di=. u( a highly organized country like ours, which‘ l;a,mns also to be a democracy, it is impossible to et nature take its course in an acute depression. The strain on the social fabric is too great. i Eaie ————t ' The mind of a devotee of dictatorship must work An an odd way. 3 | o Sir Oswald Mosley, the Englishman who ©~ mm so- passionately that he wants to set up & ‘A Dblack-shirt regime in England, found himself _moyed the other day to praise Fascism as a force %fi; for peace. Discussing the recent turmoil in Ger .y and Austria, he asserted: il % “Fascism is the only thing which prevented Eu ‘ropé from being plunged into a war like the one of 26 years ago.” - Thi , of course, is one way of looking at it. Most of s, however, had supposed that it was just the “othier way around—that the danger of war in the last fortnight has been largely due to the high-handed and brutal things which the philosophy of Fascism makes men do. ~ HOLLYWOOD KEYHOLE BY DAN THOMAS | NEA Service Staff Correspondent | - HOLLYWOOD -- Hollywood’s best actors are di ‘rectors. “ Strange as that statement may seem, a 4 poll of Hollywood would reveal it to be accurate. l & Naturally, however, the directors never get anyi _oredit for theipr histrionic ability, since all their ‘acting is done behind the cameras instead of before ‘them. Ao a result only those who work with them‘ .or have opportunity to observe them get any ink ding of their ability as actors. | ~ Ernst Lubitsch, for example, is a regular clown} .on the set—at times. Day after day he will turn “somedian to lift the spirits and calm the nervous-( ‘ness of his cast. At other times he will put on an ‘get of regular tyranny to get the desired results from those under his guidance. " Whatever it is he does, it's acting. And he does it -so sincerely that only those who know him extreme 1y well can tell that he's putting on an act. .. Josef von Sternberg carries his acting even farther ‘than Lubitsch—but without.such gratifying resultst ‘He will act out practically every scene for .each of his principal players, with the result that most of his finished productions reveal a flock of Von "~ Sternberg marionettes, ; <1 “NVon" doesn't confine his acting to the set, how ever. Practically all his waking hours are deveted to it. Even the manner in which he dresses is an aet to attract attention. - Cecil B. DeMille is another director who is an ex cellent actor and who spends a good deal of time Apmc%ing this profession. For years he has put sacross the idea that he is the great DeMille, sur ‘rounding himself with a corps of assistants who act ‘somewhat like jumping jacks every time he so much ‘as nods his head. At times he must be laughing ‘heartily inwardly, while he gives his crew a verbal lashing which makes them cower with fright. ; Robert Z. L.eonard brings his huge and healthy body into play when he’s directing a picture. Neo : matter how badly things may br ~-'vic. Bob never seems the least bit upset or worried. It'’s because ~ he looks so doggone healthy that everyone takes it ~ for granted that Bob never frets. © AS a result, he keeps his players from worrying— ¥ literally carries them over the tough spots with - Is own physical steength. ;}g . These four are the topnotch actors among the ; Birecmrs- and any one of them will give any actor . & run tor his money in his own profession. ~ L Contradicting statements which appeared in news ;fl., ] recently, Rogey Pryor and Ann Sothern are ;gm-licauy denying that they have any intention |of getting married—for the time being at least. It . has been only a few days since Rogers first wife got . ‘her divorce at Reno. And both Roger and Ann think gfi‘ have plenty of time to consider a marriage pact. o T 4 e ——— . While on the subject of romance, I notice that . Margaret Lindsay is doing a swell jcp of pinch _ _hitting for Janet Gaynor while the latter is vaca ~ _tloning in Burope. Just before Janet left, she was d * frequently with Gene Raymond, one of ~ the most eligible of Hollywood's bachelors. So.now ~ her friend is taking care of Gene, just s¢ he won't pecome interested in too many other girls. All of nich should work out just beautifully—unless Gene ide that it's M - sm.a o L o . . s&m BEEF CATTLE IN GEORGIA The movement on the part of the gov ernment in shinping to southern states beef cattle from the drought stricken sections of the west has given rise to the suggestion that native beef cattle be swapped with the government for the western cattle. It is argued that these bovines are of much better stock for, beef than the native cattle, ]and with the present chipments exchanged for local cattle, in a few years this section 'of the country will be the beef raising sec |tion of the nation. Here we have all year round pasturgs, free from drought condi tions and an ideal climate for raising cat tle. In south Georgia, the people have organ ized a beef cattle association which has 'created much interest and grown to be an iindustry of much importance. That section of the state is ideal for cattle raising and [some of the finest stock farms in the coun try are to be found in that section. Not only beef cattle, but thoroughbred cattle of the highest strains. It is believed that the request of the people in south Georgia for an exchange of the cattle will be authorized by the government, and, in that case, some of the finest western cattle in the country will htert'eafter be raised in that section of the state. TIPS ARE RETLRNING Some of the newspaypers of the country are arguing that better times are here, bas ing their belief on the fact that the public 1s again tipping waitresses in the restau rants and cases. For awhile, no tips were made, then it hecame common to tip to the extent of five centsy Now, it is alleged that the average tip is a dime. An increase suf ficient to warrant the belief that times have improved. In days gone by, the tipping practice grew to be burdensome on the average rer son traveling. The bell boys, the porters, the hat checker and the waiter all expect ed a tip and if the tip was not forthcom ing, the traveler fared badly. But the tips in those days were not of the five and ten cent denomination, but twenty-five, fifty cents and a dollar. When the tips were given, the guests of the hotel, restaurant or what not received attention that was almost embarrassing, Now it is different; if a waitress, bell boy or porter is given five or ten cents, it is accepted with thanks and no complaint is ever made. It is all un lderstood, these people realize that the average guest is not able to be handing |out tips and the employe of such places are willing and anxious to wait on thé ‘public for the amount they receive from their employer. Times and conditions are different now and those who travel around have a hard ,time living within their budgets of ex penses. Maybe timeg will improve and the ltipping system will again become popular. VALUE OF NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING Newspaper advertising, directed in a judicious manner, has never failed to bring profitable results to the advertiser. The American Newspaper Publishers Associa- | tion has compiled interesting figures, notl only for newpapers, but for the advertiser,l [which is quoted by the Moultrie Observer in the following: ' " “The bulletin shows that 25 companies which increased their aggregate newspa-! per expenditures 43.6 percent in 1933 realized a combined increase in net in-‘ come of 154.9 percent. Each of the com-! panies in this group increased its individ ual newspaper appropriations, and all but one increased net earnings compared with the preceding year. “By way of comparison, the Bureaul shows that 25 companies that decreaed their newspaper advertising 33.4 percent in 1933 realized a 34 percent drop in com bined earnings. In this group five individ- | ual companies showed a slight increase in | earnings; all the remaining showed de-| creases, with six companies recording a deficit in 1933. ‘ “In the first group newspaper expendi tures were increased from $14.070,000 in 1932 to $20,215,000 in 1933. Net earnings in 1932 were $66.901,646, and in 1933 \thev were $170,592,548. 1 ‘ | “In the second group, newspaper expen ditures were decreased from $22.316,000 in 1932 to $14,855,000 in 1933. Net earn ings in 1932 were $132.547,406, and in 11933 they were $87,381,372.” The newspaper has been proved from time to time to be the agency throueh which advertisers receive the most profit able returns. It is read by the people and it impresses upon the minds of its readers the importance of trading with those who make known the quality and vrice of their merchandise in and open and frank man ner. The largest advertisers in the nation, advertise almost exclusively in newspapers, which should be a convincing argument as to the best agency through which to adver tise, German law requires the addition of 10 percent to a hotel bill to cover tips to the staff. There are 63 planes entered in the Mae- Robertson Race next October, from London to Melbourne, Australia, a distance of ap proximately 13,000 miles. Twenty-one of 'the entries are American, Canada’s 58,200 miles of coast line are guarded by 1,675 light-houses, 362 fog stations, 556 signal buoys, and 12 light ships. Ordinsry corncobs, treated with acids and put through simple converting pro lcesses, have been found to make effective electrical insulation.

He was a power ip polifics and in the affairs of ‘his natjve state, Tennessree. However, he pe came involved financially and: it was alleged that he was guilty. of several c¢riminal acts in connec tion wita bank transactions in Ash.ville, N. C. He was tried on the charges, found guilty and sentenced to a term of years in a North Carolina prison. He is now paying the penalty of his ‘wrong doings, or at least alleged wrong doings. He was permitted to re turn to his home Saturday to at tend the funeral of his youngest son, who was Kkiled in an auto mobile accident in IHinois. For a man who had succeeded in life, in politics and = business to meet with such an ending is sad.‘ in deed, even though guilty of the charges on which he was convict ed. A dacade ago, Luke Lea was one of the most picturesque : men in public life. Not only in ms home state, but in official Washington. | Taking a leading part and stand in all matters pertaining to state and national affairs, Senator Lea was lookeqg upon as a leader and a man of worth to his country. He enjoyed the respect and. confi-. ‘dence of the people, and ‘his downfall came as a shock and ‘disappointment to his * friends as well as to the public. Some day his record may be cleared and the ‘charges of his financial crooked ness proved to be untrue. That is the hope of his friends and even "of those who are admirers of this man who has demonstrated his worth and ability to serve the {people in public and commercial llife.

BY ARTHUR DUNN (Written for The Banner-Herald.) The same congress which ap propriates millions to develop Muscle Shoals hesitates to spend a dollar for the St. Law rence waterway. The former will greatly increase products, the latter wil increase their exchange. Increased production is not gur problem. We are already so much more efficient in produc ing than in exchanging, that we actually pay our farmers both to reduce their plantings and to destroy crops already planted. Our real problems are ex change and division. Unless products can leave the fleld and factory as rapidly as pro duced, they pile up and clog exchange. We call it overpro duction—a comforting way of concealing our inefficiency in exchange and division. ‘While human beings are cold and hungry anywhere, while they lack a fair share of the comforts, luxuries, educational opportunities and entertain ments of life, there is an un derexchange, mnot an overpro duetion. Exchange requires the suc cess of three things—cOmmu nication, transportation, an exchange medium. Man has made a great suc cess of communication. Just to make millions know you have a product for exchange is a tre mendous achievement. The let ter, circular, newspaper, maga zine, book. telephone, telegraph and radio are marvels of effi ciency, raising salesmanship and advertising to a high plane. On the contrary, no transportation of persons and produets which kill and maims over one miliion peOple every vear, as does the automobile, can be considered remotely suecessful. ' Until we have an exchange medium standardized by the warld bank, and accepted by all nations, we shall grope our way through inflation, remone tizing of gold, and other make shifts. Every inducement is made to produce; every impediment created for exchange. NOt con tent with the natural difficul ties of communication and transportation. we devise every kind of barrier. Exchange is horizontal; artificial barriers are vertical, and include tariffs, quotas, licenses, passports, blue-sky laws, federal securi ties act, war debts and war itself. Just one example—to secure a license to exchange products or sell securities in our 48 states, requires months of labor and thousands of dol lars for license and legal fees. Exchange also depends on good-will. Had we maintained our trade with other nations, we would have had no such unemployment problem. Yet we | feelingly of the late president, | ; Eddie Gidley. ‘ i “You know,” Mr. Coile said,; { “we miss Ed Gidley and never al ! time at our meetings do we fail{ ;lo remind the mmembers of our de- | parted brother.

So instead of going fishin’, the city health commission went swimming jusy to give the beach a trial. “We will show @ach germ alarm er that the waters will' not harm; for we will prove that though the waters may be chilly, they hold no tithe of danger for the native or the stranger; and are absolutely free from all bacilli.,” Thereupon each demonstrator— each and every germ hater—took his place upon the Coney Island sand. ‘Then, like any other hero— like an auto in high gear (Oh!)— each plunced into the gsurf (play on, oh band!)” From the ecrowd theré rose a shout as the swimmers splashed about, defying germs, diseases and all such; it was twenty minutes after that midst cheering and midst laughter, they emerged and said they felt much better——much. “You see?
