GERMANY.-For Germany the late
year registered some economic improve
ment. Though the figures for December
are not yet available, 1t seems fairly
safe to say that the years visible bal
ance of foreign trade Preparations de-
liveries in kind included), was slightly
favorable, as against large unfavorable
balances for 1928 and 1927, continuance
of which trend would insure smooth
operation of the Young plan. OF course
such improvement of the foreign trade
need not imply improvement of the
economy as a whole: 1t might be more
than offset by decline of home trade
But, If there was decline of home trade,
it was far less than the improvement
of the foreign trade. Moreover, no
doubt the balance of invisible items on
international account continued favor
ably to mount, an aspect of the econo-
my too apt to be overlooked. That there
should be Improvement on the whole
to record is remarkable in view OF the
adverse factors: Such as the long spell
of almost unprecedentedly severe Winter
weather, the nervous uncertainty OF big
business regarding the outcome of the
reparationS discussions, and the prac-
tical suspension of loans from abroad,
by reason of the monstrous rates in
Wall Street.
Politically 1t was a year of marking
time. Compromises were struck or con-
tinued on sundry domestic issues pend
ing definite institution of the Young
plan. But when that hour strikes,
there will be something doing in the
Reichstag. On the whole, however, the
domestic political outlook is promising.
Germany seems at last awakened to
the necessity of drastic fiscal reforms
The year should see their institution.
The Reichstag should subordinate all
other issues thereto. The ignominious
most reaSsuring significance; the repub-
lie seems unshakably rooted. The whole
world shared in the German mourning
for the death of Stresemann, whose
contribution toward European pacifica-
ton was probably greater than that of
any other statesman; but doubt as to
perpetuation of his policies has proved
groundless.
Germany, by reason of the Graf Yep

I lack the temerity to make any pre-
diction, political or economic, as to the
coming year for Britain.
The new executive committee OF the
Indian National Congress (Nationalists)
has designated January 26 as the date
for a nation wide demonstration for the
congress creed of "Puran Swaraj," or
complete independence.
Mahatma Gandhi has drawn IN his
horns. Writing in his newspaper, Young
India, he confesses that he docs not
see an atmosphere favorable to a cam
paign of civil disobedience throughout
India today" He Is prayerfully seek

asks the impatient patriots" to assist
in promoting non-violent atmosphere
and in pushing forward constructive
whatever, again, he means
i0ea of a conference with the British
authorities, but the opening requires
enlargement, since he seems to contem-
plate a conference of British repre-
sentatives with delegates of the Indian
National Congress as completely and
exclusively representative of India, such
conference to have the simple mandate
to frame an independent government
for India. Yes, indeed, the opening re-
quires enlargement but it Is all to the
good OF true) that the Mahatma has
abandoned, at least for the present, the
idea of q campaign Of civil disobedi-
ence and that he is humbly seeking a
new light.
SPAIN.-The Spanish peseta is de-
scending rapidly. On January ID 1t
was quoted at about the equivalent of
1917 cents on exchange. as against over
16 cents q year previous and par OF
10 3-10 cents. Dictator Primo de
Rivera attributes its condition partly
to the adverseness Of the foreign trade
balance, partly to speculation, bank
ing maneuvers." He is an economist IN
the large sense, but no financier, as he
himself admits, and he seems to lack
competent advice In financial matters
He proposes likely measures for i'm
proving the foreign trade balance, but
seems helpless in face Of exchange
speculation. He is probably capable OF
dealing with other challenges, but this
one is too subtle for him. The pcseta' S
behavior is desperately prejudicing the
dictatorship.
I have often referred to the marques
as a Caesarian dictator, combining
strength with amenity, but he lacks a
balbus. A balbus to the rescue! The

convene January 81.

The Ritzville Journal Times of

apps AIRED in Ritzville Wednesday aft
ernoon and requested Sheriff Joe
Schafer to accompany them to the
Wahluke ferry in a search for a still
which was thought to be operating
on an abandoned farm near there.
The party arrived at the scene aft
er dark, and discovered the location
of the still. Although it was not in OPP
Grafton, there were indications of ac-
tivity on a large scale. Over 100
large mash barrels were found, and
other arrangements of the place, sup
posed to have been abandoned for
over three years, indicated wholesale
distilling. The kitchen equipment in
the farmhouse was sufficient for a
crew of at least six men. An ada
cent ferryman, questioned by the Of
ficers, reported that sugar by the
truckload had crossed the river in
that direction at various times in the
past year. No liquor was found.
Following the search of the still
site, the officers started to return to
Othello. They took the wrong road,
however, and after travelling for
quarter of a mile decided to turn
back. Immediately after turning,
they encountered truck which had
been, following with the lights turned
out. Olson, the driver of the truck, ac-
companied by a woman reported to
be his wife, jumped out and confront
ed the officers with huge As revol-
yer. After some argument he was
disarmed. Olson, who farms in the
vicinity, maintained that he had been

been stealing equipment from his
ranch and was unaware that the par
ty were officers.
From the size of the plant and APP
parent number of men needed to OPP
crate when it was going full blast, Of
ficers are inclined to believe that
large territory was supplied from this
source, probably extending as far
west as Ellensburg and including the
Columbia Basin in central Washing
ton.
The location is isolated and opera
tions could we'll have been conducted
on large scale without detection. 1t
is thought by the officers that the
still has been operated on large
run of liquor in the past, then dis
! mantled until the output had been
sold.

Many lives are sacrificed by the
indiscriminate use of cathartics. The
first thought of many mothers when a
child complains of stomach ache
is to give castor oil. An adult usually
resorts to salts or laxative when
acute digestive disturbance occurs.
Most severe disturbances in which
resort is made to cathartics are: Ulcers
fthe stomach or intestines, gall blad-
der disease, intestinal obstruction and
appendicitis. All of these require sur
gerry.
Ulcers perforate into the abdominal
cavity, resulting in peritonitis. Any
drug which irritates the mucous MEM
brane increases the danger of perfora-
ton. Prompt surgical treatment in
perforations is the only hope of saving
life and home medication is dangerous.
The same danger exists in intestinal
distractions when a band, twist or
growth obstructs the intestinal canal.
The giving of cathartics stimulates the
muscular contractions and often leads
to rapid death. Only the skilled sur
geon can recognize and treat success
fully such a condition.
In acute appendicitis, a common
affection in children, cathartics are
often used. In acute appendicitis there
is inflammation with the presence of
highly virulent germs. Nature tries to
protect the inflamed appendix by form
ing adhesions and putting the abdomen
at rest. Cathartics increase the move
ment of the bowels and spread the
infection.
So in all acute digestive disturbances
the giving of cathartics should be
tabooed and medical advice sought
early.

 Such a plaiit would not be self supporting for several years if it's use were confined to shipments on the railroad. But it WOULD be a paying investment on it's comple- tion if halihut was handled as other plants dO.

FREE HAULAGE OF ALASKA
 PRODUCTS

Turnout this railroads history at least three fourths of the south bound freight cars are empty. The additional cost of haulage, ii some Of these cars were full, would be slight, due to short trains and the large locomotives used. There fore I believe it would have been a wise practice in the past, produc- tive Of great results if products had been hauled free of charge when they were to be shipped to other than railroad towns to build up external trade along the coast, or with the states, 1t would be necessarg to give every inducement possible. Free haulage or at bare cost, should be given to all farm products, whether fresh or canned; to reindeer meat, to coal, to wood products, and to ores needing smelling. Modern business practice sets it's seal of approval
