through coercion, shares its profits with the work-
ers.
Profits are yet recognized as the principal in-
centive to industry. None of the government's
policies question the right of the entrepreneur to
profits, or of the investor to dividends. Under
this type of industrial policy unemployment is
inevitable. As has been pointed out above, the re-
covery program carried to the best possible con-
clusion would leave over 4,000,000 workers un-
employed.
Are we pursuing a system that at its best defeats
the public welfare? This is the question that stalks
in the background of all the Administration's lib-

noney received by a capitalist does not contribute
A buying power.
In paragraph three, we come upon a most curious
tatement: that since the worker has not accu-
mulated, he cannot "purchase these same surplus
oods." But suppose he could. Suppose he had
he wherewithal to do so, would he not. then be a
apitalist himself? This seems hardly consistent
with the New Way, but if we deny it. we must as-
ume that (6) a laborer's accumulations are not.
profits. This is true if we think of all returns to
abor as wages; if we think of excess accumulation
as profits, however, it is obviously untrue.
So, in the attack against capitalism, we dis,
cover some six assumptions which, at first glance
at least seem rather unpalatable. To claim that
capitalism is a perfectly functioning system, how-
ever, would be ridiculous. Its faults are indeed
many, and among them is the problem of excess
profits, to which it is highly probable that the
sponsor of the New Way is really objecting. But
does he need to blast away the entire system to im-
prove one of its parts? But before reaching a
conclusion, however, let us examine the positive
measures through which the New Way would be
carried out.

Niagara Falls Excursion: The reg-
lar excursion of the Summer Ses-
ion to Niagara Falls will.take place
his week-end and will be conducted
y Professor William H. Hobbs. Round
rip rates, Ann Arbor to Niagara Falls
n party ticket will be $7. The party
will leave Michigan Central Depot at
:30 p.m. today and will arrive at
Niagara Falls at 9:30 the same eve-
ning. Returning, leave Niagara Falls
at 1:30 p.m. E.S.T. Sunday and ar-
rive at Ann Arbor at 11:29 p.m. the
ame night. All necessary expenses
under $15. Full information ob-
tainable in the Office of the Summer
Session, second floor, Angell Hall.
Registration should be made early
and a receipt for ticket will serve
throughout on train and for identifi-
cation at Niagara Falls. Reservations
should be made as early as possible
for rooms at the Temperance House
where the party will stay at Niagara
Falls. Single rooms $1.50 and lower
rates for 'two or more in a room. In
case as many as 14 register for it, a
flight over the falls and gorge of Nia-
gara will be taken in a regular plane
of the Canadian Airways Company
with one of their regular pilots. Price
per person $2. Professor Hobbs will
fly with each party of eight or more.
If weather is unfavorable, it will not
be included. The excursion itself
is largely independent of weather
since protection against rain will be
available almost throughout the ex-
cursion. Unless registration for ho-
tel is made early, it may be impos-
sible to provide since this is the
crowded season at Niagara Falls. This
excursion is open to citizens of Ann

is dead; shot in cold blood by 144 Austrian sympa-
thizers.
Engelbert Dollfuss was a figure to admire. Under
the average in height, he overcame the handicap
and made himself one of the most powerful rulers
in Europe. Faced with overwhelming oddis, this firm
believer in Austrian nationalism worked with every
means at his disposal against the German influ-
ence in Austria and the Anschluss. He stood out
with equal strength against the large Nazi or pro-
G'erman party and the avowedly Socialist group.
insisting on a middle course between socialism and
absorption by Germany.
Beset on one side by a barrage of Nazi propa-
ganda and violence, he had at the same time
to restrain the Socialists with a firm hand. Some
say too firm a hand, but it was for the best in-
terests of the peace of Europe that he worked.
But the thing for which he is really to be admired
is his spirit in standing up to the immensely pow-
erful nation next door. He took no dictation from
Hitler and not only did he often talk back to the
German dictator but in many cases he out-smarted
his moves.

To the Editor:
In this day of the New Deal, when theories are
as numerous and prolific as flies around a sugar
bowl, it is not strange that their quantity and im-
maturity should have a somewhat deleterious effect
on their quality. The scheme appearing under the
title of "A New Way of Living" in yesterday's
Daily provided an excellent example of this par-,
lous state of affairs. In brief, it included a violent
if curious attack upon the whole basis of capital-
ism, and presented a program, presumably to be
undertaken by a wondrously wise government, that
would solve our economic woes.
At the very beginning, we are told that "Pro-
duction for consumption, rather than production
for profit, will be the call of the new Democratic
day." In other words, this seems to mean that
all human activity should be directed toward
making articles (or raising food) that can be im-
mediately applied to a direct human want. It seems
incredible, however, that the inventor of the "New
Way" would have us cease producing such handy
articles as blast furnaces and reapers, or, to come
nearer home, the kitchen stove and the screw
driver. Yet all these things are distinctly not con-
sumption goods; none of them contribute directly
to a human need. But perhaps this is an unduly
strict even though justified interpretation of pro-
duction for consumption; let us suppose that the
New Way would allow production of both producer
and consumer goods, that the same articles will
be produced as at present; we then find the ques-
tion centers on "how the income from the sale
of these articles will be divided. From the point of
view of the firm, would the New Way retain enough
through earnings simply to replenish existing
equipment, or would a little extra profit be "taken"
from the sweating laborers for purposes of research
and improvement? It might be well.to come to some
decision on this point before completely abolishing
the present system unless, as we shall remark later,
we have reached that happy stage in evolution
where we are willing to swap progress for security.
But suppose we waive this point, too. Let us as-
sume that the New Way will not only permit
manufacture of protlucer's goods, but also allow
accumulation of a fund for research too, two pol-
icies really rather far removed from "production
for consumption."
How about the individual manufacturer or busi-
ness man under this system? If he is to be deprived
of profits, we assume he will be given just enough
to buy the necessities of life -rather a bleak out-
look for the average person. Still, under the New
Way, could anybody be paid any more than just
enough for his consumption needs if the theory is

MICHIqAN REVIEW
"HERE COMES THE GROOM'
Mike Scanlon.............Jack Haley
Mrs. Widden .............. Mary Boland
Pat Randolph...........Patricia Ellis
Jimd......................Neil Hamilton
Angy ......................Isabel Jewell
If you're not immune to a little horse-play here's
a comedy that will provide you with an hour and a
half of snickers, chuckles and outright belly-laughs.
It's a farce in fact as well as name - the type of
comedy relying on ludicrous situations for its
punch. The show sneaks up on you. You're a bit
indifferent at first, but soon you find yourself
warming up. A smash ending makes it a complete
success.
We'll say little about the acting, except that
it was above the ordinary. The thing that really
put the show over was the plot - one of the
most amusing we've ever seen.
Jack Haley is the piccolo player who turns bur-
glar to keep the love of his sweetheart, Isabel
Jewell. Chased by the police he hides in the com-
partment of Patricia Ellis, a rich heiress, just
married, whose husband has deserted her.
She agrees to save him from the police if he
will impersonate the bridegroom, a masked tenor
of great repute. She takes him home with her
where Jack finds that Angy, his sweetheart, is a
maid..
Jim, the man with whom Patricia is really in
love, is also staying in the house. Angy believes
Mike has really married the heiress and is out for
revenge. While attempting to pacify her, Mike is
discovered by Jim who, horrified at the sight of
Patricia's supposed husband making love to a
housemaid, punches Mike on the nose.
The most humorous parts are those in which the
REAL masked tenor is singing over the radio. Jack
goes through the wildest contortions at the piano
to make it seem that it is he who is doing the
warbling.
Things become complicated when the masked
tenor appears on the scene in person, and Angy
steals a pearl necklace valued at $10,000.
We can't really do justice to it. You'll have to
see it to appreciate it. After things are cleared up
Jack and Angy are married and he gets a job
playing the piccolo in a symphony orchestra. Dur-
ing the program he plays just two notes - but
Angy thinks he's just wonderful. -C.A.B.

Dallfuss, as a man of extremely short stature,
must have become used to being picked on by the
bullies of his neighborhood. As a defense against
this he undoubtedly developed a strongly aggressive
attitude and when he became chancellor it was
only natural that his fight against great odd:
should be carried into an international field. He
was used to being picked on and he had long
ago discovered that the only adequate defense was
a strong offense, so Hitler was just another bully
to stand up to.
But the bullies of childhood don't have armed'
cohorts to annihilate the offensive "E.ttle fellow"
when he can't be taken care of. All the world stands
up for the under dog and when the under dog in
an unequal battle fights back the world respects
him.
The murder of Dollfuss, it can hardly be called
an assassination, was a cowardly act. If it wasn't
organized by the German Nazi party it is at least
condoned by them and is another very large and
very black mark to be added to the record of
Adolf Hitler.
A fitting epitaph for the tomb of this valiant
little fighter would be: "It took a gross of them
to do it."
Inevitable
Unemployment. ..
AT LEAST FOUR MILLION men
would remain unemployed even if
industrial production returned to 1929 levels. This
is a recent estimate based upon figures of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics of the Department of
Labor.
This four million figure is based upon (1) the
1,500,000 unemployed in 1929; (2) a 4.3 per cent
population increase; (3) fifteen per cent increase
in the productive efficiency of labor through ad-
vanced technology; and (4) the 2,000,000 small en-
trepreneurs and farmers added to the ranks of the
unemployed. Also, a thirty-hour week is assumed.
The question of employment brings up a ques-
tion far more fundamental than that of maximum
hours and minimum' wages. That at least foul
million workers are faced with unemployment ever
at peak production levels forces a serious examina-
tion of the whole system which produces this im-
possible situation.
Such an examination necessarily concerns itself

to remain logical? Suppose, however, that the New
Way, by winking at logic, might arrange it so
that private incomes varied in amount according to
talentor genius, or some such other superior qual-
ity. Even so, all these various incomes would have
to be poured into consumption goods if "accumu-
lation" is to be avoided. And this leads us right
back to the state of affairs that would exist if
the firm were prohibited from piling up a fund
for research: if there were no accumulated capital,
where would new ventures find capital'on which
to begin operations? A regime of spending for
purely consumption goods would eventually reduce
what accumulated capital we now have to nothing,
and progress, like a car with the ignition turned
off, would slowly roll to an inglorious stop.
In other words, the New Way assumes either
one of two things: (1) we are willing to exchange
progress for security (for this is what is promised
as the result of consumption), or (2) progress can
exist without capital accumulation. But these are
not the only assumptions behind the destruction
of profits. So long as the demand for consumption
goods remained absolutely constant, it would be
possible for the normal functions of exchange to
be carried out - that is, notes and bills could be
met promptly from cash received from the sale
of products. But if we suddenly decide to buy less
shirts this summer, are the haberdashers to meet
their wholesalers, landlords, and other creditors
with a smile instead of surplus that they might
have accumulated under the iniquitous ways of the
old regime? It would seem, then, that the New
Way would assume that (3) demand is constant.
So we find three rathe1f sweeping assumptions
in the five short lines of the first paragraph -
even after making certain allowances which in
themselves might be enough to destroy a theory
that is presumably air-tight.
In the next paragraph, we are told that insofar
as the capitalist accumulates his profits that
might be otherwise given in the form of wages, he
"takes" buying power from the worker, who is the
"major consumer" of all goods. Ignoring the as-
sumption (4) that there is a hard and fast line
between capitalist and worker, we might ask what
the capitalist can do with this profit so taken.
His alternatives are surprisingly few. First of all.
he might hoard it. Next, the capitalist may spend
his money on consumption goods. This he will cer-
tainly do to a certain extent, and insofar as he
does, his spending has just the same effect as the

Paramount's screen version of the stage play
"The Witching Hour" written by Augustus Thomas
in 1907 is an example of how motion pictures can
build up the effectiveness of the written drama.
The theme of the story is mental control, one of
those dark, shadowy things that revolve around the
power of suggestion - assisted by hypnotism. As
far as the treatise on mental telepathy goes, the
plot is well developed. But when Director Hathaway
attempted to throw in a colored valet and a gam-
bling den in Jack Brookfield's southern home, he
spoiled the serious vein of the picture.
Tom Brown, as Clay Thorne, does a mediocre
job as the potential son-in-law of Brookfield. He
comes under the gambler's hypnotic spell and
murders his rival Frank Hardmuth. It comes about
as the result of Clay's terror of a cat's-eye ring
with which Brookfield unwittingly instills the idea
of murder in his mind.
The camera is used to advantage here in showing
how the cat's eye effects Clay's mind. Sir Guy
Standing does very well as the retired famous
judge and psychic, who returns to the bar just
to save Clay from the noose. The witching hour
of. 2 a.m., when Clay's grandmother - Stand-
ing's old sweetheart --returns to the old man as
a ghost, is merely a name for the play. John Halli-
day does an excellent act as/ the master-mind,
Brookfield. The climax comes in the trial of Clay
wherein Brookfield attempts to hypnotize the jury
foreman. It all works out for the best. But it
leaves one with the feeling of a 1900 melodrama
spoiled by an antiquated psychological twist.
Short subjects offer a good News and Baby
Burlesk, but an assinine nudist comedy and a dull
colorphoto of Hawaii. --D.R.B.
