Tlie only reason Tor growing cotton, wheat or pigs, for manufacturing pins, automobiles' or electric sewing machines, is to supply human needs or desires. That human want and great surpluses of goods produced for human consumption should exist side by side is sufficient evidence thai our economics are out of gear, We have devised means of producing goods to supply the necessities and modest luxuries of life to all of our people.

We have not devised a way of making lliosc goods available to those who need them.

An Economic Paradox In connection with Jiuigt; Driver's talk to the American Legion last night on tlm problem of unemployment, reported elsewhere in this paper, it is not inappropriate to say word or two on the economic paradox in which we find ourselves involved under which increase in human capacity for the production of wealth seems to result in the multiplication of human poverty.
