gestions. Amonf? these is on"
#">m F H. Pearson of Ajitaupa-
ville. Ala., whifh I dpsjre to
pass on to readers Stranpp to
sav. a letter alone the same
lines came to me a while aeo
from a croup of economists in
#r,iiand.
The immediate nonrt after the
war will bp for markets for
peacetime eoorts These must h°
manufactured in erreat nnanti-
ties in order to keen emnlmwl
#e m'llions now enea^d in the
rnarmfacture of muntionc Fur-
thermore we are to bavp a
prcat demand for machinery,
hnildinc materials and merchan-
djsp from abroad bv peonle
Who have no money with
whinh to pav.
We, therefore, must work out
some wav to consume the fin-
ished eoods which we are then
Able to nroduce anart from the
•r arineout process and a
World War everv 25 vears A
trade in nlan such as the auto-
mobile neople have developed
but made applicable to all indus-
tries has nossibiilties. Consum
#rs need be trained' to renlace
ponds before thev wear out.
NFKD NEW MACHINERY
We are advised to look for
new uses and new products for
raw materials and finished
!<oods. This means new markets
must be secured. Manufacturers
are todav usina fullv denreci-
ated tools and machinerv which
thev should trade in for new
machinery so as to give the Am-
erican people better goods for
less mopev. Prosperity comes
only from lower taxes and low-
er prices. Continuous emnlo.y-
ment is far more important
than increases in wages or unit
profits. i,
We need some way to make
it possible for the worker and
those having private funds to
consume the new finished goods
that will be available a few
years hence. Those who have
funds to buy with are usually
thrifty people. Being thrifty,
they wear out, the goods they
own unless they are offered a
value for such goods. Cannot
the trade-In system which has
been used in creating the auto-
mobile, refrigerator, and stove
markets be applied to 100 in-
dustries?
EUROPE AFTER THE WAR
After this war is over our
neighbor nations in war-torn
Europe and Asia are going to
look to us for food, clothes, and
other products. One good crop
year in Europe will in a large
measure greatly help solve the
food problem. Their lack of raw
materials, however, will make
it difficult to make machines,
clothing, bedding and many oth-
er things for years to come.
We will have to help these peo-
ple in one of two ways:—
1. With our warehouses full
to overflowing with raw cot-
ton and other products and out-
manufacturing setup geared to
convert these into finished
goods, we can continue to tax
our over-taxed people by buy-
ing such new finished goods
from our manufacturers and
shipping them to needy nations;
or (2) we can now organize
tradeVin centers, selling our
new goods to our own people
and shipping the used goods
abroad. I earnestly urge the lat-
ter policy.
ESTABLISH TRADE-IN
CENTERS
We could have trade-in setups
in all trade centers of our na-
tion without any more govern-
ment employes. We have plen-
ty of federal setups now func-
tioning which can be used for
this purpose. To these centers
our consuming public could car-
ry their used-goods and, after
having such goods appraised, re-
ceive a trade-in certifacte from
the federal appraiser. This cer-
tificate, if used in 10 days would
be good as cash In the purchase
of new machinery and goods
costing three times the face val-
ue of the certificate. The used
machines and goods would be
for export. In fact, no new prod-
ucts should be allowed to leave
the country except as paid for
by cash.
We will have accomplished
the following: Remove from the
channels of domestic trade
enough used goods so that our
consumers are able to replace
such used goods with new mer-
chandise. Two thirds of the cost
would be paid for by the one
benefiting most. As the consum

Mr. and Mrs. Sam Goldman of
Big Spring, and formerly of

Fort Bragg, N. C., to visit Mr.
Goldman's brother. From there
they will go on to Baltimore and
er vbuys from the retailer, the
retailer from the jobber, and
the jobber from the manufactur- j
er, we will have three direct j
ways for meeting this cost from
those who will receive this new
business. Such a cost collected
from a business transaction re-
sulting in profit is the easiest
money to collect, especially if
such money is used solely for
producing new business for the
firm paying the same.
KEORGA N l/l XG RELIEF
We formerly depended on the
generosity of relatives and our
immediate communities to care
for the needy of our nation who
were unable to care for them-
selves. This may yet be the
most satisfactory method of
handling the problem. We now,
however, tax our people to se-
cure the funds necessary for
this purpose, Very often relief
is made too attractive and our
over-taxed public is needlessly
imposed upon.
It is our duty to care for the
unfortunate people of our com-
munity; but aside from making
them comfortable it is not our
duty to make such relief attrac-
tive,'If a trade in setup were
operating in a community there
would be an over-supply of
used goods which could be made
sanitary and given to those
needing the same. Such goods
would make these people com-
fortable, yet such relief would
not undermine the character of
our people as does the present
system.
A BUSINESS SAFETY VALUE
The trade-in idea is simple.
Our federal government would
have a way for producing in-
creased consumption of finish-
ed goods as the need arose sim-
ply by increasing the allow-
ance for such used goods offer-
ed for trade-In. Then, in infla-
tionary times when our govern-
ment mishes to disrourage trade
it could lomer or remove alto-
gether the trade allowances.
This would provide employers,
wage workers, and investors a
much-needed automatic regula-
tor. Why wait until the war is
over before trying out such a
system?

many conquests as have Cana-

The number of marriages

attest to the liking English

only about 10 per cent, so it is
