A maintenance of High wages in the Light of what the report cited As a insatiable commodity demand a increasing application of scientific and managerial skill and an elimination of speculation the writers of the document concluded would assure the continuous Advance of living standards for the majority of the nations population. A we seem Only to have touched the fringe of our potentialities a the report said though it declared emphatically that during the seven years including 3928, with Winch year its data ceased americans had enjoyed a material welfare splendid beyond All human experience. Wants Are insatiable a the Survey has proved conclusively a the report continued a that wants Are almost insatiable that one satisfied makes Way for another. The conclusion is that economically we have a boundless Field before us that there Are new wants which will make Way endlessly for newer wants As fast As they Are satisfied. A we have the Power to produce and Twe capital to bring about the Exchange Between producing and consuming groups we have communication to Speed and spread the influence of ideas. We have the science and arts to help us. We have a great National besides the president signers of the report were Owen d. Young Clarence a Woolley Daniel Willard Louis j. Taber a. W. Shaw John j.

The committees studies began a year ago and were financed by the Rock Zieller and Carnegie foundations we Hile the National Bureau of economic research assisted in the Survey. The committee was seeking for the cause and cure of unemployment and for possibilities of diminishing the up and Down movement of cycles of business activity and depression. Balance is delicate a the outstanding fact which is illuminated by this Survey is that we cannot maintain our economic advantage a the document continued a for fully Hope to recognize our economic future unless we consciously accept the principle of equilibrium and apply it skilfully in every economic relation. Herein lies the danger that through ignorance of economic principles or through selfish greed or inadequate leadership the steady balance will be disturbed to our economic detriment. A if natural resources Are wastefully used if Money in Quantity is taken out of production and employed for speculation if any group develops a method of artificial Price advancement which puts one commodity out of balance with others if either management or labor disregards the common interest to this extent equilibrium will be destroyed for All. Our Complex and intricate economic machine can produce but to keep it producing continuously it must be maintained in balance. It would seem that we can go on with increasing activity. But we can do this Only if we develop a technique of advancing use of automatic machinery it was agreed caused a a technological unemployment As displaced workers were forced to find jobs elsewhere than in their original Industry. But the increasing output of goods and increasing demand for sales and services in connection with their use the increasing of Leisure and consumptive wants developed in Leisure were said to have furnished a Field for filling the employment gaps.

Ate first glance the Bill wre uld seem to provide abundant Protection to agriculture. Early in the growing season Corn seems to be free from the fear of the Borer. Later the Well matured Cornstalk begins to show the effect of the Borer.1 so Ite will be with this Tariff Bill As it will affect the Farmer. It gives a Promise of Aid to agriculture but it give a guaranty of Aid to manufacturers. It gives american wheal a. Protective Tariff of 42 cents a Bushel As against cheap wheat front Canada. That same 4�?~2-cent a Ligate Tariff is not in Force and y6t i notice that during the past ten Days the cheap wheat of Canada has sold at Winnipeg for 9 toll cent sit Bushel More than our protected american wheat in Chicago. Ten to one shot a i have not had time to digest the entire Tariff Bill but time enough to make a fair estimate of what it will do to agriculture. Tho Protection which the Bill gives Tao manufacturer will Cost the people on the farms in our Section ten dollars in Tariff taxes for every Dollar of Benefit they will receive from the alleged Protection which the Bill seems to give to agriculture. I think the most instant proof of this fact May be found in the new schedule which the sugar Barons have injected into this Bill. Under the existing Tariff Law every family of five persons is compelled to pay a tribute of $11 annually to the sugar Trust. Under the new Tariff Bill that tribute will be increased to approximately $16 per family. Power banker of newspaper Chain i. P. And t.
