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.
