Washington, D. C., June 4.â€"It seems strange indeed that a nation enjoying the natural resources to be found in the United States and possessed with a productive capacâ€" ity unequaled by any other country should find itself in the midst of hunger, want and suffering. It is difficult to believe, much less underâ€" stand. If we were not actually experiencing just such a condition we would probably not believe it. During the past several years many plans or solutions for the problem have been offered. Any number of them have been sent to me personally. I would not attempt even to list the different proposals for a solution that have been emâ€" bodied in bills and actually nitroâ€" duced into Congress. They are too THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1988 numerous. It has often been said, although not true in fact, that evâ€" ery Member of Congress has his panaces, the sureâ€"cure for our ecoâ€" The factors and forces which produced this depression are many. ‘There is no "sureâ€"cure" to be found in the enactmnt of some one piece of legislation. I would that such magic could be found in an Act of Congress to effect a solution. _ From th experiments of the last five years we ought to have learned by now certain truths. One is that our problem is not one of overproâ€" duction. It seems to me cruel to say that it is when people are cryâ€" ing for sufficient food. How can one say that we produce too much when millions of our people do not have sufficient to put them on a deâ€" cent living basis? _ ho For centuries men have struggled to devise ways and means to proâ€" duce more to wear and to dat. Even today, with all the advancements of science and modern inventions, we are not capable of producing sufficient to meet the needs of the people. Surely by now we see the folly of this doctrine of scarcity adopted by the national governâ€" ment: Surely the people now recogâ€" nize that limitations upon producâ€" tion are not a remedy and in the long run only serve to add to our difficulties. A second fundamental truth which the experience of the last five years should teach us is that promiscuous â€" "government spendâ€" ing" is no remedy. It can only be an expedite method of dealing with a pressing and extremely difficult situation. â€"In the long run it, too, adds to our difficulties, serving to undermine the financial structure of the nation and destroying confiâ€" dence. 5 f For the last few years the naâ€" tional government has pursued both the policy.of limiting producâ€" tion and of large government exâ€" penditures. That has been the sum substance of the New Deal program for recovery. It has failed and failed miserably. The failure should convince us that we have not been adopting remedies but only expeâ€" dients. That which has been noticeable in the last month is the growing senâ€" timent in Congress that a truly practical approach to a remedy is in abolishing moriopolies. For many years Senator Borah has been conâ€" tending that the problem confrontâ€" ing us is essentially one of distriâ€" bution. He has repeatedly argued that the first step to be taken is to restore competition in the ecoâ€" nomic system by destroying monépâ€" olistic Space precludes any discussion of the pros and cons of the theory of Hecketsweiler Studio Representative 10th Congressional (North Shore) District T 8.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY Senator Borah. But whatever may be the one‘s personal point of view with respect to the Senator‘s conâ€" tention, it will have to. be admitâ€" ted that his following in Congress is steadily increasing. When the Senator took the floor a few days ago to express his opinion on the "pumpâ€"priming bill", stating in efâ€" fect that it was useless to seek to increase purchasing power by spending methods so long as monopâ€" olies were allowed to exist, the symâ€" pathetic hearing he received was quite noticemble. It is folly to predict, but I venâ€" ture the prediction that the nation wfllmvlhmnuh;:dvi:na- monopoly â€" campaign. t ‘not without significance that the Senâ€" ate recently passed a bill dealing with the "motionâ€"gicture monopâ€" oly" without even.a record wote.
