Planning Production The call which has been issued by James W. Gerard, chiiiimiin of Uie commissioii on industrial inquiry of the National Civic Federation, for a congress of mill luljor leaders to draft a 10-yenr-plnn to prixluctiun iiiul ctiniinale iincniploy- nVciit in Amcvicn, rcllucls no new discovery. 11 long been evident thai at least one important source of our economic (lilTiculticg has been the titter lack of co-ordination and constructive purposes in American production. We sow, ami harvest, dig mines, drill oil wells, b.uild machinery, operate factories, not to provide the things that are necessary to the life ami general and wall being of the American people, but to money. Fortunately there is a very definite relationship between the meeting of needs niul the making of money, so on the whole we have 'gotten But when, because of lack 'of knowledge and narrowness of viewpoint on the jiart of our vast iwm- ber unintegratcd -producers-, it develops that too many persons arc seeking to make money certain lines of production, there comes a collapse.

Pi'olits cease, men are thrown out of work, jobless industrial workers suirur for food and clothing while farmers, in the excess of their wheat and manufactured goods. It is a tragically irrational thing, this depression, through which we are passing, but how Jlr. Gerard jinii his associates cxirect to make its recurrence impossible is dilTicnlt to understand. Any effective voluntary plan would be the most gigantic "conspiracy in restraint of trade" ever confronted by the attorney general's office. On the other hand government control and direction of production, as is being attempted in Russia, is unthinkable in this country, even granting that it niight At least until such time as Mr.

Gerard gets his plun in effective working order the wisest policy for the majority of us will be to conduct our all'airs in a fashion that will enable us lo weather such forms of adversity as are beyond our control. For the individual and for the business insliUijLion a cash reserve will continue to be the best possible insurance against disaster. This applies In the farmer, as to others, but the former has the advantage in that he can adopt a program that will make him in large measure independent, of market and employment conditions. More Unwise Censorship Onu of the most unpleasant bits of news to out olj Washington in months is the recent disclosure that tha Treasury Department has started censoring Dm radio broadcasts and press releases of the I'ublic Health Service. Recently a 1'ublic Health Service broadcaster suggested that it is wise lo eat less meat than usual in the hot days of Instantly a (loot! of protests po'ui'ed in fiuni meat packers and live associations.

Oddly enough, the government listened to these protests. Now the I'ub- lic Health Service officials have been notified that all radio broadcasts and press releases hereafter must get the 0. K. of the treasury secretary's of- lice before they go lo the public. However this is disguised, il is censorship of a peculiarly stupid and dithgcrous kind.

If government health speak their minds freely because their official superiors are afraid of (ifl'eiuling private buuino-s men, Ilia health service might as well go out of business. TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1931 SIDE GLANCES By George Clark Arkansas and Roosevelt The statement of Senator Caraway In Washington yesterday, lu which he chimed that Ar- knnsas would strongly support. Governor Roosevelt of New York us tccond choice lo Kobltisuu Is of extreme political importance. Tile position tufccu by Sctinlor Cam way that Ills state favors the New York executive should boost the. stock o( Roosevelt.

Noting Ihe possible cniullditcy of Robinson, Senator Caraway commented: "If Senator Hob- Insou Is not noinluntcd, Hoose-vell is the almost unanimous choice of the stale." There Is no cloubl, however, thnt Senator liobinson Is most prospective caudiil.il;. lint more linporlnnt. whether nominated or not, the senior Arkunsns senator Mill a com- iminrllni; position at the national Democratic convention. Of the dry candidates Hobinson Is leader. He will have the bucking of the dry Southern states, lie will be a pcisonaejc to deal with and will have comminuting voice hi the selection of the nominee.

Outside of Hobinson the most potential can- dtdilcs arc in favor of the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Governor Roosevelt has made his stand clear, although the Southern dry leaders look him with much more favor Hum Ihu more avowed wets. The of Arkansas' sentiment toward Roosevelt is thus doubly interesting. If Robinson, fmrtiin; that the eastern and southern Democrats could not possibly come to an agreement upon his stand, should join his colleague in this support, of Roosevelt, there is little doubt as to the choice of the next presidential nominee.

Stimulation lo Ilic skin may come from a pin blast warm ulr, contact with ft chemical like menllioi, or from oilier stimuli.
