Single Edition Of Trojan Next Week Only one edition of the Trojan will be printed next week. It will be issued on Wednesday instead of either of the regular publication days. The change in the publication schedule was announced by Kenneth K. Stonier, manager of student publications.

Holdsworth, dean of the school of business administration and professor of econm-ics at the University of Miami, Florida, who Is visiting professor of economics at the 1931 summer school of the University of Southern California, stated in an address on “Capitalism Challenged by Communism” before an all-unlverslty assembly in Bovard Hall last Tuesday morning: “We have tried hard to make ourselves belipve that we aie poor, poverty-stricken, but statistics, stubborn things attest the contrary. Today »Ue United States has four and one-half billion dollars in gold, nearly half the world’s supply. CREDIT SYSTEM •in itself that is not particularly important because we do not use money any more—except for ‘chicken feed’—a few dollars and dimes for till money, carfare and payrolls—of today s business over 90 per cent will be done without the use of money.) Ours is a credit economy. and with this prodigious supply of gold, credit can be safely expanded to several times its present volume. “Much more significant is oui savings. The department of commerce report* that our three major forms of savings—life insurance, building and loau, and bank savings accounts—increased from 60 billion dollars In 1920 to 145 billion dollars In 1930-more than doubling in a decade. Moreover, the number of savings depositors rose from 22 million to 53 million. IDLE MONEY “Apparently we are not so poor as we have made ourselves think. The fact is that measured by idle money in banks and other savings, the buying power of the United States ls at the highest ever known—and this ln spite of sluggish business and unemployment. Indeed, this hoarded buying power, this reluctance to buy. spend, and Invest wisely now that prices are back to near the pre-war level, is the prime cause of the present slackness in production, trade, and employment. ‘•Would it not have been better to have distributed more of our social income as it was earned in the form of higher wages, security against unemployment. old age, accident and individualism, opportunity for tlie enjoyment of leisure, and the building up of a ‘depression reserve’ to tide us over recut* ring hard times? Higher wages mean enhanced purchasing power for the worker, and this in turn corrects under-consumption —the prime obstacle to quick recovery from the present depression." LAUDS RUSSIA Describing Soviot communism as the “most Interesting and significant social aud economic experiment, and also the most colossal, in human history,” and claiming that ‘‘no thinking person can be indifferent to its progress and consequences.” Dr. Holdsworth declared however, that “America, of course, will not adopt Soviet communism." ‘‘Russia liad Uie giW a* *»»-(Goutinutfd ou Page Two) Administrators Will Hear Dr. Touton “The Administrative Organ ization of S. C.” is the subject of an address to be delivered at the Administration club luncheon next Wednesday afternoon by Dr. Frank C. Touton, vice-president of the university.
