This question stood out as the most important from an American viewpoint of all the matters covered in the plan presented yesterday by Prime Minister Ramsay McDonald of Great Britain. General Accord On Plan On the provisions dealing with spe- cific steps toward reduction of armies, navies, and war materials, the Amer- ican government found itself in gen- cral aqcord as most of the proposals closely resembled suggestions made previously by President Hoover and endorsed in general by President Roosevelt. On the other hand, Part One of the McDonald plan dealing with "se- curity" brought up for decision the whole perplexing problem of Ameri- can participation in the solution of disputes which might involve purely European countries.

Power, Prestigc-No Profit "It is impossible," he said, "to at-. tach power and prestige to produc- tion without the intermediary con- nection of the profit motive." This, according to the economist, would be achieved by having producers turn out goods in the greatest possible quantities and at the smallest costs consistent with the functioning of economic laws. A man who found a way to do this, Professor Handman said, would 'be regarded as a great man, and would have more power than profit alone can give. This he opposed to the "generally vague" solutions of the technocrats out of the present economic muddle. The price system, it was stated, need not be abolished, inasmuch as it is merely a convenient economic device. In tracing the historical develop- seif-support. In the next phase, specuation grew rapidly, and became a fashionable means of adding to one's wealth; but the idea of producing in order to make money had not as yet dawned upon occidental civilization. The first to see the connection between money and power were small groups of merchants and traders by sea. Here was the first appearance of the power profit motive. Important by 1900 This sort of motivation, said Pro- fessor Handman, became more and more apparent until by the begin- ning of the nineteenth century its importance was unmistakable. At the present time, particularly in America, the original purpose-production- becomes obscured in enterprise by the incidental manifestation, money, which becomes of prime importance.

O'Brien, attorney general, said today. He held the state 'prohibition law remained effective and binding, re- gardless of the repeal oftthe bone- dry law in the state constitution. The Michigan prohibition statute declares beverages containing "any" alcohol, are illegal. The Supreme Court has' ruled that under this act beverages even with a low alcoholic content are prohibited. A special commission has been named by Governor Comstock to recommend state legislation, It is ex- pected the body will propose a state liquor control law to replace the ex- isting dry statute. O'Brien said he does not plan to submit bills to per- mit the sale or use of beer in this state, because he is waiting for the commission report. He feared, how- ever, some members of the legisla- ture "might get impatient" and offer legislation if the commission does not act soon. ST.

LaRue of the zoo- logy department delivered the pres- idential address last night, speaking at the annual banquet of the society in the Union. A general meeting for the discussion of land utilization in Michigan was held in the afternoon, with five specialists presenting their - approaches to the problem. Speaking on the subject, "The Place of Parasitology in Conserva- Lion," Professor LaRue said that parasitologists do not believe that they can solve all, or most of the problems of conservation, but that they believe they can be of assist- ance. "Conservation is altogether too big a field for any single group to attack alone," he said. Urges Co-operation Professor LaRue advocated slow, And careful, but sure, progress, with wo-operation by men trained In cience, economics, administration, and practical psychology, assured -y the continued "su"ppot rof te p of the state, as the essetials f a conservation program. Parasitism is extremely common, Professor LaRue said, and in animals nearly every species from the larg- est whale to the amoeba has yielded parasites of one kind or another. He explained in detail the manner in which parasites live and breed in their "hosts," usually inhabiting two or more .animals during their life cycles. "A parasitological survey of Mih- igan including all the animals in the 3tate is greatly needed," Professor LaRue said. It could be carried out without a great deal of extra expense or labor in connection with the bio- logical survey now going on, he pointed out. He also suggested a sur- vey of all predators.

It was said today at the White House that the majority favored go- ing ahead and the President plans to speed up his work to keep his recommendations going to Congress. ' His program calls for legislation on railroads, for restriction of specula- tion, for permanent banking reforms, an emergency unemployment plan and a later and larger relief program. No consideration has been given to' new taxes, as the President seeks to balance the budget through econ-' omcis and Government reorganiza- 1ion.
