TO INVOKE POST CIVIL WAR LAW IN HARLAN TRIALS Continued From Page One. were used to prevent organizers of the United Mine Workers from holding meetings in Harlan County. A meeting was scheduled for Jan. 3, 1937, to be held in the Methodist Episcopal Church at Evarts, for the purposeof inaugurating a campaign to reorganize Harlan County. A letter soliciting the protection of law officers was addressed to Sheriff Mlddleton.

by William Turnblazer, president of the United Mine Workers of America, on Dec. 28, 1936. "Sheriff Middleton refused to receive the registered letter and returned it unopened to the. sender. Subsequently, on Jan 2, the day before he proposed meeting, a quarantine was placed on the county banning public gatherings.

During the period of this quarantine ban, while the mine organizers remained in Harlan County, the tear-gas bombing and dynamiting of automobiles took place at the New Harlan Hotel. The quarantine was lifted on Feb. 6, 1937, and it was two days later that Thomas Ferguson suffered a shoulder wound from Deputy Sheriffs as he was leaving the Black Mountain meeting near Evarts. The following day, Feb. 9, the home of Mrs.

Marshall Musick was bombarded, causing the fatal shooting of her son. Corporation Defendants.

And what does the phrase mean? It is very important to ask, because if another recovery starts, and is going happily, in, let us say, 1939 and 1940, what assurances have we that the Government, still sticking to its present theories, will not again radically reverse the trend? If the cause of the 1937-33 depression was overproduction, and the same cause accounts for the de-pressionfof 1929, then the New Deal out to be the same thing as the old deal, and Mr.

Roosevelt's mistakes the same as Mr. Hoover's. But, since the entire procedure and strategy of the Government have been very different since 1933 from what they were before, isn't it reasonable to inquire whether this may not be a different kind of depression? If you enforce sudden and radical deflation, of course you get overproduction! If a man is starved, even a regular meal can make him sick. On every known ground we have not even begun to take care of the normal demand for new houses. There is one example of flagrant under-production.

But if you deflate and thus unemploy and pro duce through a sophomoric misreg- ulation of the stock exchanges a slaughter of equity values, then there is neither the money nor the desire buy new houses. If, through an undistributed prof its tax and a capital gains tax regarded as part of annual income, you take away reserves and reduce the working capital ratio of even big business to lower levels than at any time since the war, then no one can buy machinery and make improvements. And thus, inventories that were inadequate when business was oper ating at 80 per cent of capacity become, on the way down to 30 per cent, -over-stocking! If department store indexes of stocks in hand have caught up with improved demand and consumption on the basis of a 63-billion-dollar national income, and a deflationary movement Is launched which reduces the na tional income to around 50 billions, then the department stores are Over-production can be an effect as well as a cause, and in this depression our belief is that it was an effect. An effect of policies. Of the seven billion dollars proposed recovery program nearly a third is nothing except the reversal of monetary measures taken last spring.

That reversal is all to the good. It's only too bad that the measures were ever taken. Because, the interval, the capital wealth of the country has been made to shrink by perhaps forjy billion dollars. And that shrinkage is due, we believe, to inexcusable mishandling of the railroads, with severe losses to insurance companies and banks who have railroad holdings of at least five billion dollars, to a bad tax program, to an uncon-structive treatment of the utilities question, and a demagogic labor policy. Compared with the capital and income losses sustained in the last seven months, the spending program is chicken-feed, and this economy will not recover until more is reversed than the monetary deflationary measures.

It can only recover by private investment and spending, and when capital again is given the opportunity to become venturesome. tCopyrtght, 1938.) PUBLIC MEETINGS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Dr. F. W.

But the Pres- A nt must not confuse his person-Q with ooDonents of cer- tain of his policies. It has been the administration's mistake from the riewpoint of an effort to consolidate the national will ever to confuse opponents of policies with opponents of objectives. The larger objectives of the New Deal have become a part of American thinking. But there is, and there will continue to be, great of opinion as to how these 1 nd obiectives can be real- ized. I I Tf we go on the assumption and I think we may that what we all want is a great increase in the national income, its more equitable distribution, and greater economic and social stability and security, and that to achieve these ends most of us are willing cheerfully to make considerable personal sacrifice, in the conviction that such sacrifice will pay us, even individually, in the long run, since we do not live in isolation but as part of a social order, then the question is whether the policies proposed are likely to further that end, or not.

Therefore, before we can agree upon a program for recovery, we must agree as to the cause of the present depression. The cure has to Degin wiui correct diagnosis. Now it would- appear that the administration's diagnosis has been faulty, and that that is where the trouble started. The administration itill hardens on its theory that in April, 1937, there was overproduction and a danger of inflation. "Fearing just such an event," says the President, "the Federal Reserve System curtailed banking credit, and the Treasury commenced to sterilize gold, as a further brake on what it was feared might turn, into a runaway infla- i tion.

I They did, Indeed, and by those measures mey started the present depression. Obviously, the measures, on the scale and with the vehemence with which they are undertaken, were wrong. And at the time, this column, and a number of other commentators, doubted the wisdom of the measures and predicted what the results would be this column as long ago as Oct. 11 While still defending them, the administration, by implication, admits its error, because the new recovery program completely referees the policy of last spring, and this is the most constructive single thing in the whole program. The administration lightens the reserve requirements which it unwisely and unnecessarily stiffened, and releases the gold that it unwisely and unnecessarily froze.

As far back as last March and April, liberal economists, among them Alexander Sachs, who set forth his views in early autumn before the price conference of the National Association of Manufacturers, were predicting that radical deflationary monetary measures were fraught with grave dangers. But the Government chose to A listen to other advisers. So the ship didn't sail. It didn't even drift. It VINCENT LEONARD PRICE JR.
