Atlantic CityyN, J., Sept. 26.—The economic stability of America de¬ pends largely upon educating the masses to the proposition that re¬ mote consequences must not be over looked in the evolution of plans of progress, William A. Scott, director of the School of Commerce at the Lin¬ iversity of Wisconsin, said today in a speech before the general convention of the American Bankers Association, ^PV^ssion following the war, he add ed, is attributable to the .neglect of remote consequences. “We must learn to see the things that are not obvious,” continued Mr. Scott. “There probably are many reasons why we don t see and there fore neglect remote consequences, One is the very fact of their remote ness. What is present and directly before us strikes our vision, obtrudes itself upon us. We cannot neglect it if we would.

What we saw were the prevention oi profiteering and the stimulation of the production of war materials and supplies.. What we did not see was a remote conse quence the disturbance of the noi mal price and profit relations upon which the success and smooth opera tion of our enitre economic mechan ism depends, interference with the normal flow of investment streams the over-equipment of some indus¬ tries, the under-equipment of others and the fostering of the belief that the government is omnipotent in eco¬ nomic matters and can arbitarily ad just prices and profits to suit its own ideas of justice or expediency or to meet the desires of blocs or classes that may chance to be politically dominant.” THE LEADING FIGURES IN OKLAHOMA’S KLAN WAR j In the upper left, N. 0.
