The buying started with December OPP
lions then quoted in July at 4l.07 q
buShel, and 1t was continued into the
May option. The object was to sell out
at about $3.50. The stock market was
then on the boom, general prosperity
was sound and the crop reports pointed
TO success. Soon after the buying started
the price was run up to $1.1S. Then
things began to happen. Wheat started
to fall In price, the stock market began
to crumble, cotton declined, commodity
prices softened. Immediately after the
real crash in the stock market wheat
dropped like q plunmet and rye fol-
lowed suit. Some Of the board traders
started selling rye short, and the syndi-
cate had to take from eight to ten mil
lion bushels Of actual grain at Sum-
ner prices, though the market had
fallen to eighty-flve cents. Another
tumble came and May rye went down
to flfty-nine cents. Settlements have
now been effected in the rye deal and
1t is estimated that the cornering syndi-
cate has lost between fifteen and seven
teen million dollars. This is about the
heaviest loss on record in food dealings.
The Letter attempt to corner wheat In
1s9s-9s cost seven million dollars. Short
ly afterward the Harper wheat corner
cost ten million. In 1894 the Cudahy
syndicate lost eight millions in a pork
deal and about the same time Deacon"
White of Brooklyn lost five million dol
lars in a corn operation.

there Is no indication of British re-

There can be little doubt of the

Sir Michael, in a recent issue of the
English Review, thus epitomized the
British school of thought which opposes
any compromise with the Gandhi
movement:
Let us make it clear once for all to
the Indian politicians that there Is no
short cut to self-government; that We
are willing to assist them, now as In the
past, in "the gradual development Of
self governing Institutions; that in the
past ten years they have not made the
best Of the opportunities given them,
and that, while sympathizing with their
reasonable aspirations, we are not pre-
pared to sacrifice to their anti-British
ambitions our responsibility for the well
fare Of the 90 per cent Of the popula-
ton who have no voice in politics, but
desire the maintenance Of just, i'm

The world will observe with abiding
interest the duel between Hindu idealism
rampant and British -doggedneSs.

play q stupendous role in the future Of

The Shipstead Bill.

The Shipstead bill which passed the
Senate yesterday has been generally
recognized as q protective measure and
o necessary safeguard In connection
with the Governments great plans for
the new building program. No opposi-
ton to the bill, as rewritten and passed
by the Senate yesterday. has come from
any quarter. This is unique recognition
in itself of the merits Of the legislation,
for it comes about as close to being an
invasion of the private rights Of prop
erty owners as one could imagine. 1t
provides that whenever q permit Is ap-
piled for for 1.-THE erection or alteration
Of any building, any portion Of which is
to front or abut upon" the Capitol
grounds, White House grounds, PennSyl-
vania avenue from the White House TO
the Capitol, Rock Greek Park, Geological
Park, Rock Greek and Potomac parkway,
Potomac Park, the Mall park system, or
abutting upon any street bordering any
of these grounds or parks, the plans as
they relate to height and appearance,
color and texture Of materials Of ex-
terror construction, must be submitted
to the Commission Of Fine Arts. The
commission may then recommend
changes, and the District Commission
ers are empowered to take any action
that in their opinion will effect rea-
sonable compliance" with the recon-
mendations of the Fine Arts Commits
sion.
It is to be trusted that the language
of the bill will not prove ambiguous as
to what action the Commissioners will
be empowered to take, provided the
plans are not approved by the Commits
sion Of Fine Arts. But there Is small
cause for worry on that score. The
bill Is based on common sense and uni
versal agreement that every building
erected in Washington that faces or
abuts upon one of the Government res
ervations should add, and not detract
from, the pleasing appearance Of the
city as q whole. Builders will welcome
the advice of the Fine Arts Commission,
and the Shipstead bill protects the for
tunate owners of private structures
concerned as much as it does the Gov
eminent.

Decade of Woman Suffrage
Reviewed ON Its Anniversary

exceedingly modest in their efforts to
gain political 'plums.'
-
"The participation of women In pol
iticS as voters" in the Judgment of the
Charleston Evening Post, has had O
profound effect already on social and
educational legislation. For the women
1t may be safely said that they are
usually to be found on the right side
Of all such questions and that they are
more inclined than men to take the
initiative in urging upon lawmakers re-
forms in social and educational matters.
This was always true, but in the past
when women appeared as sponsors for
new laws they appeared without the
power to reward or punish at the polls.
Today their advocacy Is far more eff
fective because of their power to vote,
and it is in thl; way more than in any
other that the effect of woman suffrage
has made itself felt"
With the argument that "dire proph-
ecies," spoken against suffrage in the
past, seem to have been childiSlly con-
ceived," the Hartford Times points out:
Husbands and wives retain in large
degree sturdy independence of opinion.
Were no real difference to have been
made in the outcome of political can
didacies and measure or policies for
public decision, the vent Of women in
the caucuses. conventions and at the
polls has had definite effect, In most
constituencies, Of increasing interest in

cal morality and adding to the efficiency

mended by the Terre Haute Star, with
the belief that "the women have in
creased their influence in proportion to
the cooperation they have given to the
party leaders as co-workerS in q COM
mon cause" The Duluth Herald states
that they "have helped toward bring
ing greater recognition Of the need of
social legislation" and the BROOKLYN
Eagle concludes: Women are undou6t-
edly taking a greater interest In public
Affairs than before. More CAPABLE
women leaders are emerging and the
quality Of the political action that NAV

tainly as high as that for which the

The question as to whether woman sIf-

Some More Propaganda. "

The Districts public school system
came very near losing one of its ''propa-
ganda buildings" yesterday when a
vicious little windstorm from out of the
Southwest switched its tail over a
portable and took OF twelve-foot Sec
ton Of the roof. The same Providence
that watched over the pupils in a storm
in 1927, when the roof was lifted from
. Bryan School portable, and again in
1929 when a storm damaged the roofs
of portables on Grant road and in
Wesley Heights, protected the children
In the portable yesterday on the grounds
of the Jefferson Junior High School.
The children marched out in good
order and no one suffered harm Glasses
in three other portable buildings on the
same site likewise were suspended dur
ing the interruption from the elements.
One of the legislators on the appro-
priations subcommittee for the District
once alluded to the portables as "propa-
ganda" buildings. thus implying that
they are kept in use in order to provide
the complaining citizens of Washing
ton with something to talk about. They
do, as a matter of fact, provide topics
for conversation. One may only hope
that the conversation will never turn
to fixing the blame for some unspeak-
able tragedy. Last June the super
intendent Of schools asked the Board Of
Education, in view of such warnings
as sounded yesterday In the shrek of
the wind, what the policy was to be
In regard to continuing the use Of the
buildings. The policy was and Is TO
fx them up as well as possible.
One of the constructive rules laid
down by the House subcommittee on
appropriations in its consideration of
the District bill this year was to provide
that no more auditoriums should be
built in elementary school buildings
until the portables are eliminated. This
step has not met with universal ap-
proval from some Of the organizations
interested in the schools. But, after
all, it is reasonable and wise, provided
every available red cent is put into new
buildings School children should first
be provided with safe and permanently
built class rooms, with seat for every
one Of them. Other school needs be-
come secondary considerations. The
shifting of city population may always
demand the use of some portables. And
when such use is confined to temporary
alienation of overcrowded conditions
there will be no just complaint. The
trouble now is that the same old
portables are continued In use year
after year, reduction in their total
nunOer proceeding at q snail's pace.
It is to be taken for granted that the
school officials will keep them under
constant inspection and that every
sign Of weakness will result in
immediate repair work.

If obliged to, but it win cost aE least

For this reason Canada has suRRested
that Washington declare policy: which
will permit dredging Of the Nfaerican
side Of the river. This IMAGES aoE,ae
American act as ~ n Naili-
tary invasion was proposed.
A narrow view Of the proposal would
be unfortunate. To force Canada to
waste large sum Of money Ia this
project would be merely to help build
up boundary wall which should not
separate the two countries.
The political boundary line does ne

Losing Through the Rye.

II there ever was a real gamble, It
was that Of group Of naillionaires Of
Providence, r. T., which started last
July to corner the rye market. A grain
corner is more than an achievement; It
is triumph over nature. And nature
Is extremely tickle. Almost everybody
who has ever attempted a grain corner
has failed Of his purpose and, failing,
has lost heavily. This group Of Provi-
dence plutocrats began buying nine
months ago. Their aim was to buy
fifteen million bushels Of rye, which is a
third Of the average crop, not a corner
in the sense Of control Of all the supply,
but enough to dominate the price If. -
and when the purchase was effected
