STEERING THEM TO DEATH.

The Republican steering committee, =
in holding up the bill for Austrian relief,
has virtually converted itself into death
committee and has pronounced q sentence
Of starvation upon thousands OF helpless
human beings. There Il no dispute about
the facts In the case. In Vienna two mil
hons of people are in the clutches OF
famine Men, women and children are
dying by inches. They are passing through
the most bitter Of human experiences,
through mental and physical agonies
such ss no words can describe. All this
has been known for weeks past. And it has
been made plain that these dspairing
creatures can hope for no adequate relief
except from us, that this relief must be
provided quickly, if it IS to be Of any avail.
The men who have been refusing to
allow this aid to be sent do not question
these fscts. But this Is Presidential
year and they are apparently under the
impression that IT would be bad politics
to indorse q measure recommended by
Democratic secretary OF the treasury
and Mr.. Hoover. Nothing could be worse
politics, in point of fact, than TO connect
the Republican party with such policy
Of brutality. Voters Of Austrisn and Ger
man birth or descent viii not regard with
especial favor the political Herods who,
for party advantage, decree the desth OF
the innocents.
Mr.. Kitchin's suggestion that the
profits Of the Grain Corporation be used
for relief work in Austria, Armenia and
elsewhere puts the proposition up to the
steering committee ia q new form. "In
this way" says MIR. Kitchin, 1--WE will not
take q cent out of the treasury. The
Grain Corporation has this money and
can use 1t. We never intended to make
8 cent ont of the Grain Corporations
dealings with European countries, and
now we can make our intentions good by
returning these profits to relieve actual
starvation over there" Mr.. kitchin pro-
poses TO give the Grain Corporations
s6o, 600, 600 Of profits, whereas the credits
Df $4,000 900 recommended by Mr..
Glass and Mr.. Hoover were to be even
tually repaid. d.--Baltinore Sun.

PRESCRIPTION FOR PRoFTTEERs.

Financial circles effect surprise that the
Federal Reserve Board should have SO
far advanced the rcdiscount rates Of the
reserve institutions ~ from 4s4 to
per cent. This is less matter for surprise
than the extreme tardiness Of the acticn.
1t could not but have been Observable
to the board months ago that cheap and
abundant banking credit was at the bot
tom of the wild speculation in commodi-
tics and the high cost of living, As it WAS
at the bottom OF the Wild speculation in
stocks representative directly or m
directly of those commodities. Partly by
q small advance in the rc6iscount rate and
more by discrimination against loans on
industriAl-stock collateral the reserve
banks long since compelled halt and
then . retreat in the stock markets IN
fiation The repressive power OF q further
and sharp advance IN the rediscount rate
Is now to be applied to the remaining and
greater part OF the speculative area.
Prohteers in dairy products, prohtecrr
IN bread stufEs prohteers in meats and
provisions, profitecrs IN cotton, protlteers
IN land and rents, are thus going to be
compelled either to hquidasc or pay so
largely to destroy them. The cold-storage
and rent sperulators Of the cities will be
Affected As the warehouse and farmland
speculators Of the West and South, it is
reported, are already being affected.
The Federal Reserve Bank System wss
10 more intended to help boarding in
than to help . speculative
.arrying Of stocks. The present action Of
he board Is in tho way Of bringing the

should not be used too long, because
after a time 1t loses much Of Its lubri-
eating qualities. This Is an especially
important item to watch now, because
good lubricating oil Is not always avail
able at all filling stations.
Another point Is the shifting OF

After a time |hey gradually grow
to hate the idea Of dropping to lower
speeds, as II 1t were a reflection on the
car or on the drivers ability. This 10
a condition that should not exist.
These same ideas apply to practi-
cally all Of the little things that may
happen to motor Clrs In general serv-
ice. A weekly inspection will do a
great deal toward getting the utmost
serviceability out Of a car. The own-
er who does not have time or inclina-

will do well to sec that they r done
