Address on Lec-ture
Program.
FOR EQUALIZED INCOMES
End* Talk With Brief Review of the
Italian-Ethiopian Situation;
Answers Questions.
"We hare never had any overproduc-tion
in this country, with the possible
exception of cotton and wheat. What
we have had was an inability of the
people to buy." Senator Robert M. Lfl-
Follette. of Wisconsin, stated in his
address to the students of the Woman's
college and to the people of Greens-boro,
on Wednesday night, in Ayeock
auditorium.
Senator "LnFolletU- stressed the in-equality
of wealth in the country, and
strongly advocated an equalization of
incomes. Before the depression there
was a large group of unemployed, and
sime the depression, wMflfe is gener-ally
conceded to be an outgrowth of
the war, was partially caused by im-proved
technology in industry and
heavy speculation in the itoek market,
the number of people out of work has
grown tremendously. faIt seems clear,
at least to me, that two things were
constantly happening- We were con-stantly
increasing our production, and
the ability of our people to purchase
was constantly decreasing. Today we
have the natural resources, we have
the man power to produce not only the
bare necessities of life, but those things
which give some leisure to life, those
things which make it possible for peo-ple
to have some educational and cul-tural
advantages. Our problem pri-marily
is one of distribution."
The society of today, with scientific
methods, cannot continue without an
equitable distribution of wealth. The
money of the country is so unevenly
divided that one person may have as
much as 59 per cent, and others as
little as .07 per cent. Here lies the
difficulty, for a rich man does not
spend all his money; he has a surplus
of goods, and no need for products
on the market. In frontier days a
real inducement existed to put surplus
income into capital investment. Now
that is closed. "With 'the rising tide
of economic nationalism, which has
■wept over the country since the World
war, fields of investment abroad have
been discouraged."
"It was that reinvestment of private
capital which pulled us out of those
depressions of the past. That is why
the normal recovery, predicted by eco-nomic
politicians every six months
since 1929, has not, and will not, take
place." That is what is needed now,

Alps, and were guests in the
home of Anton I*ns- Dr. Brown de-clared
that great music was heard in

charm of the German opera perform-ances;
the artists are not only good,
but are very methodical in regards to
rehearsals."

Robert M. LaFollette
Gives Interview to Paper
"We cannot balance the national
budget until we Increase the national
annual production of income," de-clared
Wisconsin's Senator Itobcrt M.
I.al'olietfc, Influential leader of the
progressive wing of the Republican
party, in an Interview granted the
CAROLINIAN Wednesday night. "The
federal government's revenues are In
direct proportion to the total Income
of the country. Today, with annual
Incomes at 50 per cent of the 1920
level, nnd with greatly increased finan-cial
burdens on the government. It Is
impossible to balauce our budget," he
added.
Senator LaFollette advocates a pro-gram
of taxation heavy enough In
"good" times to maintain the economic
credit of the I'nlted States In times of
crisis like the present. This program
he would have consist largely of more
effective taxes on Incomes.
