FURR’S SANDWICHES ICE CREAM \ SOFT DRINKS CURB SERVICE TOBACCOS ' ’V LOCATED ONE AND ONE-HALF MILES FROM CITY ON THE WHITMIRE HIGHWAY By ROGER W. BABSON Washington, D. C., Sept. 9 —The following is an impartial report as to what the Truman Administration is attempting to do to prevent further unemployment. The plan is not as radi cal as Mr. Roose velt’s experiments' —ost of which fail-, e d . It, however, i seems to most Re publicans like try ing to “sweep back the ocean from a sandy beach with a broom.” Conserva-1 tives believe in letting the tides come in and go out as nature intended. The Fire Department Theory The President’s friends would use a city Fire Department as an illus tration of what they are trying to do to stop a business conflagration. A Fire Department does not pre\t?nt fires from starting, but only from spreading. The Fire Chief waits un til a fire starts and then rushes to it and puts it out. If you divide the annual cost of any Fire Department by the number of fires,—at first thought the Depart ment seems inefficient. Every city spends $1,000 to put out a $500 fire. Yet, without the Fire Department, that little fire would grow and per haps burn up the entire city. Hence, I; believe that the Fire Chief is the most useful and important citizen, of every city. They should be paid more money. Apply I nemployment to Fires The Truman program is based on a similar theory. If unemployment starts in a certain state—as it now has in Massachusetts and Rhode Is land—the President wants to rush aid to that section immediately and stop the spread of that unemploy ment to other sections. To a certain extent the President is right in theo ry. When the textile and shoe work ers of New England are idle, their' purchasing power is cut down. This causes other plants elsewhere to lay i off employees. Then unemployment increases all over the country like an epidemic of flu. On the other hand, if enough government orders and aid are rushed to these sick places, the unemployed would go back to work and would again buy goods. This helps every other part of the country. At least this is the Truman theory. Whether or hot it will work no one knows; but it seems worthy of trial. Fires Run In Cycles There is one feature about the fire illustration concerning which my Truman friends don’t like to talk. This is the fact that which all the wonderful and efficient Fire Depart ments of our country, the total fire losses—over a long period—go up and down according to Newton’s Law of Action and Reaction. The best Fire Chiefs in the world can't con trol the human element involved in! connection with fires. During certain years people are > careless and then there are an extra large number of fires. These so increase that the insurance compan ies—through the National Board of Fire Underwriters and its efficient leader W. E. Mallalieu—get busy and start a campaign to educate people to be careful. This, combined with; other factors, bears fruit and fires; decrease for a series of years. But people get careless again and fires again increase. Statistics show that fires have their cycle the same as employment, commodity prices and general business. What About Stocks? But granted that this Truman ex- | periment will work, and I surely hope it will, Fire Departments do not build new houses nor start new businesses. Likewise, this experi ment of extinguishing a depression at the start “with a buckeUof wat er”, will not change human nature' and prevent a readjustment some time. Certainly, the Truman exper- | iment will fail unless labor leaders have a change of attitude. They can set fires faster than any Fire De partment can extinguish them! All the above means that there is no hurry to buy stocks or bonds. The Truman experiment must ultimately result in higher taxes. This leaves less money for people to invest. The real difficulty with the stock market today is not because of the dividend nor the security, but because invest ors have no money left to invest af ter paying living expenses and tax es. President Truman’s experiment may help to steady the stock market; but I don’t see how it could cause a bull market in stocks, commodities, real estate or anything else.
