RESEARCH IN FOOD

Nutrition Laboratory Gets
Support as Means of
Solving Problem.
DIVISION OF THE WORK

The establishment Of national
laboratory Of human nutrition to
solve the food problem Is the latest
suggestion made in the discussion OF
this question.
Mr.. Armsby, in a recent edition OF
Science. says:
"It Is a twofold subject. including
the economical production Of food, a.
well as it's efficient utilization. the
farmer, like other producers. rigntiy
desires a reasonable reward Tor his
services. The interests OF the con-
suming public demand a liberal 1000
supply at prices low enough to insure
the adequate nourishment OF All
classes of the community. 1t snouio

It has been suggested that the or.

but 3 and a fraction cents. compared
with other European money, seems
too far out of line.
my suspicion is that Germany is
purposely encouraging Americans to
buy marks to bring about a friendlier
interest in this country in German
trade-that is, in the purchase Of Ger
man products. The German theory Is
that a mans heart interest lies in the
direction of his pocket interest. be-
lfeve that Industrial recovery in Ger
many will be rapid. Because of the
character of the government and the
amenability OF the population to regu-
lation / should not be surprised to

TN all the discussion Of the decline
in rate of exchange in pounds sterling,
francs. lire, guilder. pesetos and
marks. there Is one feature which has
not been commented on" said a Wash
ington bank president today man
/. OF wide vision, who keeps in touch
with international affairs as well as
with local matters. The point in the
foreign exchange situation which
strikes me as curious and serious is
the decline in the exchange rate of
German marks and the significant fact
that the German governments has done
nothing and appears to be doing moth
ing, toward rehabilitating the rate of
exchange in its monetary unit. The
exchange rate Of the German mark
has declined from ~ cents to and q
fraction cents. I do not believe that
the impairment Of German credit and
resources wholly accounts for this re-
markable depreciation in German
money in relation to the United States
dollar. The point is that the German
government, astute especially in
finance. has made no effort to restore
the mark to it's normal exchange rate.
I do not mean that it could restore it
to the pre-war rate Of "a cents in the
present tangled condition of affairs,
