and could not operate to meet de-
mand abroad.
We have just passed through an
other phase of international busi-
ness. which cannot be called an inva-
sion because the tide of business
flowed to us through no effort of our
own. The demand was created by
the halt forced by the world war on
the trade of belligerent countries. 1t
opened to us all the unblockaded
ports of the world.
Foreign Trade Blocked.
Now the United States is caught in
the backwash of her tidal wave of
trade prosperity The mass of debt to
us has proved a stumbling block to
our future trade. 1t mac placed the
dollar at such high premium that
the foreigner will not buy from us, if
he can escape it through any other
means. Lack of foreign buying has
been enervating to American indus
try. Credit which should be liquidated
is tied up on renewal loans.
Business cannot be transacted on
short-term credits because the for
eign producer cannot begin to pay
until he is giveh opportunity through
our exports to resume producing. He
cannot pay US in gold SO he must pay
US in goods. which he is prevented
from manufacturing or otherwise
producing because we cannot extend
further credit on the short-term
basis. Therefore. he cannot buy our
raw material. machinery, coal and
other essentials to his production.
The alternative is that he obtain loans
for long time periods on his securities
so that he may be tided over the pres
ent stringency.
Thus stagnation has resulted. The
goods produced for foreign consump-
ton cannot be shipped until longer
term credit is given our foreign buy
ers. AS consequence the plants,
mines and fields, gauged on the basis
of domestic and foreign supply have
been compelled to curtail production.
The further consequence is that this
shortening of production has thrown
millions out of employment. Until
the spark of life is communicated 10
our trade the grip we have gained
must be relinquished.
Export Trade Corporations.
Through the Webb act the govern
ment has granted consent for Or
ganizations to combine in export
trade. which, under the Sherman law
and Clayton act. is Illegal In the
serve act it has given permission to
the organization of companies 10

long-term credits.
This last piece of legislation prob
ably is the. most important for the
present emergency. Four corpora
lions have sprung up to take ad-
vantage of this concession, Whlch
permits companies so organized TO
issue debentures to ten times the
amount of their capital. There is

Analysed, the causes of the setback
were these: Our lack of understand

situation. bad faith on the part of
certain of our traders. lack of facili-
ties for financing the transactions
such as banks and branch houses

REALTORS AWAIT
RENT ACT ruling
Many Take Chances of Fines
in Belief Ball Act Will
Be Thrown Out. q.

Real estate men are standing by"
with varying degrees of interest
while the final stage in the contro-
versy over the consti;utionality OF
the Ball rent act approaches. The
United States Supreme Court is
scheduled 40 take up Monday the
FAMOUS HlrSh- Block case involving
the authority of the Distrsc; rent
commission in landlord and tenant
disputes.
With the filing by the government
yesterday of ITS brief supporting the
Ba!l act the case presented itself in
readiness for consideration by The
highest court of the land. The
grounds on which Assistant Attorney
General Classic based his answer to
tne suit were not a surprise to local
lawyers and real estate men.
The question of the constituti ioR-
alty of the Ball act has been, dis
cussed from many angles during the
past months and virtually every
argument in favor of sor against the
law has become familiar to those
who have followed the supporters of
each faction. There are those who
believe. with members of the rent
commission and the Department of
Justice, that the Supreme Court viii
hand down a decision in a short time
in favor of the BAH act. ON the other
hand. there are many attorneys and
real estate men who are equally as
positive of an adverse decision by
the court.
Tha. a number of real estate men
are confident that the act will be de-
clared void is shown by the intrepid
ity with which they have ignored the
existence of the District rent COM
mission and its rulings. Had these
men felt to the slightest extent that
the Supreme Court would uphold the
risked heavy fines provided for such
Violations. it is pointed out. These
fines if the rent commission should
he upheld. would amount to thousa nds
of dollars and in number of in
staEces probably would start. the
agents and landlords well on the way
to bankruptcy.
While many property owners and
real estate men have conducted their
business though there were no
rent commission. il is known that the
prolonged agitation in the local rental
field and the uncertainty of the out
come with regard to the Ball act
have served to slow up building in
Washington.
Investors have been loath to plunge
their money into apartment and home
projects under prevailing rental con-
Gitions. especially when securities of
gilt-edge character were available in
other fields of investment. Builders
also have held off in promoting dwell
ing enterprises until il was known
whether il would be profitable move.

housing operations inte nded for sale.

KEELING THE BOY
ON TIE FARM.

The farm Is an attractive place TO
every boy but he often refuses to stay
there because che can't enjoy working

Page.
The subject is a live one for thought
for every farmer In Idaho, particular
ly the southern part whore new agri-
culture Is to play so important part in
the coming decade. Needless TO say,
the desirable solution is to keep the
young fellows on the farm, instead OF
leasing them I GA tenent whose inter-
est In the old place cannot equal that
OF the boy who was born and raised
there.
1t Is too often the case on the farm
that the father allows the husky son
to do the Jobs that are beneath the
dignity of the hired man He Is the
one that herds the cows, cleans the
stable, runs after the monkey wrench,
and turns the grind stone while the
hired man or father sharpens the AK.
Taken all in all, fathers are n pretty
wise lot, but they have made a failure
OF keeping the boys on the farm.

Whatever doubts the layman may
entertain regarding the history and
conception Of the Church of Jesus
Christ, Latter Day Saints he cannot
doubt the sincerity and simplicity of
its creed. 1t has a certain appeal that
YIELDS its people together and COM
mands the respect o fthe void. II can
be called a religion for today, because
its prophets and saints are living be-
ings, it's precepts are daily practiced.
The following words quoted from a
Mormon in last weeks Press must
strike a responsive chord In the heart
of every human who tolerates reli-
glon in any form:
ut seems TO e a part Of the hui
mar make up to love a dead hero or a
dead prophet. He is only without hon
or in his own country and in his own
time. We say as we have always said
% that we would have lived in the days
Of our fathers, we would not have
stoned the prophets as they did but
the while we are building monuments
to the memory OF the dead ones we are
stoning the living.
Before the close OF the earthly mis-
sion of Christ, II was a social disgrace
TO be seen in his presence. Those of
the higherups who believed in his
word, would come sneaking around In
the night TO confer with him. 1t was
only the humble. the meek and the
poor who received his word gladly. 1t
has ever been 30, when living at the
time Of the prophets their message
creates so little emotion in u hearts
that we dismiss II with scarcely a
thought"

at Rockland today and tomorrow
should add leaven TO the spiritual life
OF the community and the presence OF
President Grant of the l.. ID. s. should
add materially TO the zeal of those in

that many indeed Will enjoy the spirit

FOR FLAG AND COUNTRY

On May 30, uniting In q splendid
spirit of brotherhood, the allied ma
tons will pay reverence TO the heroes
of the worlds war. Americas Decor
alton Day has been chosen by h In
~terallied Veterans as the day 10 pay
homage to the dead. The cemeteries In
France will be thronged by a reverend
multitude of men, women and child
rem, these little French children who
remember our boys.
There will be anational demonstra-
ton on that day In honor OF the men
to whom we all owe 80 much. Mrs.
AlfredBudge, Idaho Chairman. for the
days observance, requests that on May
80 everyone wear the Poppy which
the American Legion adopted At It's
last national convention as It's mem
orial flower, "the poppy Of Flanders
fields-the little red poppy of France
that grows wild everywhere In
France"
Through the cooperation of the
American Legion, replicas of the real
peoples will be offered for sale to be
worn on Memorial and Poppy Day
says Mrs. Bulge. THE real poppies
are too fragile to be transported, but
the American and French Children's
League has arranged the best substi-
tute for the real flower, which Is the
poppy made by the women OF France
who knew our boys, by the children
whe loved them, by the people who
now live In the very places where
Americas best fought and won and
where 30 many sleep. The profits
from the sale OF the oppies will go to
the relief of children In devastated
France. Memorial Day poppies VIII
be offered at 10 cents each. or more
az one feels generously inclined"
The State Chalrman's appeal for the
days observance continues;
"We cannot 90 to Flanders fields,
but we can all wear an outward sign
In memory of our men 40 that the citi-
zens OF our state will take full part
In the national demonstration of rev.
erence and admiration for the men
who served in 1917-1S, bringing glory
to the flag and honor to the country
"Every true American, man, woman
and child, should consider II n sacred
obligation to wear the bright red
poppy on that day. The American Lee
gion in choosing the poppy of Fland-
ers fields as the memorial flower to

LEST WE FORGET THE
BLUE AND THE GRAY,

In concentrating National Poppy
Day in honor of those recent heroes
who made their sacrifice on Flanders
Field and other battle grounds of
France, let us not forget those veteran
heroes whose service for their country
has long since been their religion.
We speak OF the boys Of "61 and the
men of San Juan HILL"
1t is a stirring sight to see young
America on parade with the scars of
battle still fresh from a world con
clict. 1t Is a reverent moment when
the boys of the G.. A, II. come with
hating step down the avenue nobly
carrying on to a fife and drum.
And the men who fought on the
Spanish Maine, to them Is honor due.
For theirs was the first war hat ce-
mented ~irrevocably the grey and the
blue.
Let us remember National Poppy
Day but let us not forget Memorial
day and the graves that are old and
covered with moss as well as those
fresh ones that made our nation
mourn.
