When it will be, the commission is unable to
state.
Last year congress gave the commission s1,oJ0,-
600 for the work of valuation. This year 81 600,
900 has been allotted by the budget bureau.
The commission says in its recent report:
"Most of the primary valuations are already
from six to ten years old. In administering the
act present-day valuations are needed, but be-
fore they can be had, primary valuations must
have been completed TO serve as bases for carry
ing the valuations forward. There is serious dis
advantage in the lapse of so many years between
the primary and the present-day valuation"
The commission estimates it will require 81
11S,000 to complete the work within two years.
1t is estimated that the carriers owe the Unit
ed States some S70,000,000 in the settlement of
accounts after the World War and also in the
application of the socalled "recapturep of one
half of the net operating income in excess Of six
per cent. These sums cannot be collected until
the valuation of the properties are so ascer-
tanned. t .
The budget bureau has been asked to increase
the appropriation for the work of valuation this
year 10 s2y369,000.
The interstate commerce commission has given
the carriers a tentative valuation of approx
mately $4,000, 100000. 1t is expected that a com
pletion of the wofk of valuation will increase the
real value to approximately $4,000, 100000. This
is about what the carriers claimed.

Farm Prosperity

The war finance corporation revived to assist
the farmers says this in its annual report: "Most
of the important farming districts are in bet
or shape than they have been fer several years.
Bank deposits have increased, bank reserves are
being restored, business has greatly improved
and the farmers generally are making excellent
progress in cleaning up the burden of indebted.
ness under which they have been laboring, and
in strengthening their economic positions"
However, according TO the corporation, condi-
tons among the cattle growers is not entirely
satisfactory, but improving.
In the year ending November 30, loans to the
amount Of $12,2i0,000 have been extended the
cattle raisers by the finance corporation. This
is below the amount advanced the year before.
November 80, last, the loans on the books of
the war finance corporation amounted to $62,-
$4,000, of which $685., 600 was for war loans
and Si5,64s,00O was for agricultural and live
stock purposes.
The capital stock of the war finance corpora
ton amounts to s500,00O,000 and is all owned by
the federal government. When its affairs are
wound up, ii is predicted that the net earnings
Will be sufficient to pay for all the money adj
vanced by the government, besides paying back
the original $500, 600, 900. In the meantime, the
farmers and livestock growers will have been
aided materially.

The Coolidge Foreign Policy

Those nearest the president and best qualified
to speak for him outline his foreign policy thus:
He believes public opinion is against alter.
ing the essential provisions of the refunding of
Great Britain's debt TO the United States con.
minated in February 1923, no matter what
Great Britain's statesmen may say.
He will not call an international debt con
ference, adhering to the belief that the United
States should deal with each nation owing this
country, as circumstances dictate.
3.-The president is opposed to debt cancella-
ton; but is in favor of the adjustment Of all
debts the payments TO be extended through a per.
iod of 62 years, the same as the British debt ad.

4.-The president is opposed to the submission
to the world court any American claim in Ger.
man reparation.
5-The president believes the United States
must now wait in the matter of another arms
limitation conference, until Europe decides what
to do
Here is one of the presidents most significant
made in a recent message to congress:
Il should not wish to propose or have repre-
sentatiyes attend a conference international
which would contemplate commitments opposed
to the freedom of action We desire to maintain
unimpaired with respect TO our purely domestic
policies

England in Third
Edwards Time

Medieval England was agricul.
tursl and commercial rather than
Industrial. In the Conqueror's time
some Flemish weavers came TO the
country. There are records OF
masons and other craftsmen who
came on to aid In building castles
and c~athedrals. But the innumer-
able references 10 the export of wool
show that domestic manufactures
we're on a small scale. The cloth in
dustry was a primitive affair

triotle, thinks that British industry
was more extensive than the aver
age chronicier would admit.
For half a century. from 1927 70

In 1881 he invited John Kemp. a
flemish weaver, TO come to England
with his servants and apprentices.
to start a weaving enterprise and
to instruct others who desired to
learn what were long called the
mysteries" Of the trade. This was
a beginning Of industry on a large
scale, and it led up to T. Of the

Great Britain, In 1887 It was made

Rail Valuation

whether the rates for transportation were just
and fair, in view of the real value of the carriers

might be replaced.
To carry on the work the commission ere
ated n bureau of valuation and has issued from
time 10 time some twenty-three orders requiring
the carriers TO furnish certain information and
data-very voluminous. The act required the
carriers to cooperate with the commission.
Up to date the government has spent nearly
s25, 1000 while the carriers have spent nearly
$15. 1000, 0O0-a total of approximately $100,0t0,000.
