Says Nadon Agrees (''uiuliinicntals In Ibis situation, Mayor LaGuardia feels that there arc certain fundamentals that everyone agrees upon. These something is wrong when we produce both surpluses and want at the same the remedies used cure previous depressions won't work in this one; that, pending a solution of the problem, no unemployed person will be permitted to that the vicious circle which makes the cost of government grcator in a when il can least be in times of prosperity, is something that can't be put up with much longer. If these fundamentals arc agreed on, then what? Well, Mayor LaGuardia believes that, the greater part of the New Deal's social security ngc pensions and unemployment accepted by everyone. in controversy, remarks, are Ihe wage-hour law and Wagner act. The wage-hour law he considers fundamentally sound hut in need of a country-wide educational campaign as in its also, of strict- rcnforceiiicnt.

Ibe Wagner act i.s Hi suspects that causing discussion principally Ijecausc it is still so new. Beyond these, tilings there is the problem of surplu.sc.s. 'Surplus," sasy the mayor, a word. It was true in the the ol economy but it i.s not now. 'Surplus' mount of our above- all tlie just days true today means that a- productinn over and normal needs of th people, rather than the amount which is over and above their present purchasing power.

If all of our children wcic properly clad and fed, for instance, ifd cut a pretty big hole in our surpluses." Kmling the Human Surplus As things stand now, wo have a surplus of manpower. And Mayor LaGuardia wonders if it. might not bo wise, instead of keeping this surplus (in relief, to send it into the factories ti produce a huge volume o( goods for cost, if Central and South America. Suppose, he says, that we produced, in that, way, goods worth 000,000 and took loss of half a bil- liisn-on the deal. It would still cost us mudi less than it would have cost lo keep thai labor on it would have been a steap toward cohesion and unity in the new work.

Me admits, with a grin that he might have trouble selling this idea to Secretary of State Hull. Regardless of the that may still be necessary, Mayor La- Guardia thinks that the fundamental objectives of the New Deal arc so firmly established that "no candidate xvoulld dare to statae that heSd chunga them or, if elected, would dare to go ahead and change them."

Scoff at Theory Loss of Industry Would Hike Rate 'Adding Industries Didn't Cut Rate, Losing- Them Won't Hike It" Co.

Asserts Ce- iment Co. Owns Half of Proposed Line LITTLE City of Hope charged in its brief filed with, the State Utilities Commission Monday that the Arkansas-Louisiana Gas company "has been quoting cheap gas to everybody except the people of Arkansas." The brief, prepared by L. Carter' Johnson, traffic expert, and E. P. Me- Faddin, atorney, both of Hope was presented in support of the application of the Louisiana-Nevada Transit company for authority to enter southwest Arkansas as a competing distributor of natural gas.

The commission concluded a lengthy hearing last week on the application, and fixed September 1 as the deadline for briefs. The Louisiana-Nevada company, an Ada (Okla.) corporation, has contracts to furnish gas to the Ideal Cement company at Okay, the municipal Water Light Plant at Hope, and the Hope Brick Works, now customers of Arkansas-Louisiana company. Johnson and McFaddin described the 'contention of the Arkansas-Louisiana company that the loss of industrial customers would penalize its domestic consumers as "the finest example of shedding crocodile tears that we have Hope's Reply "Every rate in Arkansas is higher. than the rate in any other state," the Hope brief said of the Arkansas-Louisiana schedules. "Taking on industrial consumers has never resulted in lowering the domestic rate in the past, and losing these industrial consumers will have no effect on domestic consumers now." The Arkansas-Louisiana company in a brief prepared by Attorneys C.

Walker, and W. C. Fitzhugh of Shreveport, replied that "hi reality the present industrial rate for gas being charged the city (Hope) is too low." "The they said, "is clear that both Hope Brick Works and the Water Light Plant are doing an exceedingly profitable business under the gas rates now being charged by the in- tervenor (Arkansas-Louisiana company. "The City of Hope is able to build municipal buildings, stadium, parks and many public improvements out of the earnings being made by the electric plant, and the suggestion is made that the city could virtually operate without taxes. "All of this is based on the advantage given the city in low gas rates for use in the electric generating plant.

It follows that Hope is getting an undue preference over other cities and towns in Arkansas not having such a rate advantage." The contracts with Hope and Okay interests provide a rate of lOc per thousand cubic feet. The Arkansas-Louisiana company formally offered to execute new contracts on the lOc basis. Johnson and McFaddin Monday pictured that offer as "a fine example of llth hour religion." 'The public has hafr no relief from high gas rates of the Arkansas-Louisiana Gas Company for over 20 years," they asserted. "All of the profits have gone to the stockholders and not to the people of Arkansas. Now is the tmie for this commission to swing the door the other way and let the people of southwest Arkansas have a chance to be benefited from chsap gas at our very uack door." Cement Co.
