Elementary, Mr. President!
President Roosevelt, in his message to Congress on April
29, 1938, SAID this: :
“The individual must be encouraged to exercise his own
judgment and to venture his small savings, not in stock exchange gambling, but in new enterprise investment.’
But what did the President and his bright young New
Deal advisers DO to encourage the individual to venture his
small savings in new enterprise investment >?

They persisted in a reckless spending orgy that increased
the national debt to the highest point in the nation’s history
and reduced money rates to the lowest point.
They piled tax upon tax and wove restriction upon re* striction until an investment in business had little chance to
succeed, and if it did succeed it had to turn over the lion's
share of the profits to the tax collector.
The fruits of this folly are apparent from the followine
tabulation, made by the Commercial and Financial Chronicle,
of new enterprise investment under Republican and New
Deal administrations. The figures do not include government
issues or corporate refunding.

Why has new investment dried up and the return from
securities steadily shrunk in the three major fields of the utilities, railroads and industrial corporations? Because—
Relatively few individuals will invest their savings ir
utilities so long as the Federal Government in various ways
either erters into competition or permits and even assists oth
er public competition. \
Nor will they invest in railroad securities so long as the
New Deal merely talks about sound rehabilitation of the railroads but does nothing to help bring it about.
They are equally unwilling to take a chance on investine
in industrial corporations, when, in addition to tax burdens
and hampering reeulations. labor conditions have become almost intolerable due to the ineptness and bias of the Labor
Relations Board.
And finally. figures of the Federal Reserve Board sho:y
that between 1970 and 1938 the average yield on_ utility
bonds dropped from 7.18 to 3.87; on railroad bonds from 7.12
to 5.12, and on the bonds of industrial corporations from 6.94
to 3.50.—Contributed.

While the economic status of teachers is of fundamental concern to the
