STATES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ONCE FAVORED FEDERAL AID TOFARMERS

st. Paul, May 14.-The resolu-
ton adopted by the United States
Chamber of Commerce condemning
the government for having gone
into the grain business seems to
contain a flaw or two as far as
Its origin is concerned.
Less than three years ago a
large percentage of those who are
now opposed to the cooperative
practice in producing and market
ing agricultural produce were ar
dent advocates of that very prin
ciple. Evidently the sudden change
in their attitude is prompted by
the fear that the farmer shall con-
troll the profits which were form
erly pocketed by the grain trade.
AS q matter of fact, there is no
sound reason why the profits that
result from the marketing of
product should not belong to the
producers of the product.
In a statement given to the
United States Chamber of Com
merce convention Alexander Legge
said, "There has been considerable
evidence the last several months
that entirely too many of your
members were for the principle of
! COO Grafton only so long as it
didn't work"
Charges SNAP Judgment
The Chamber has exercised snap
Judgment in adopting the resolu-
ion which it, has. 1t condemns
the Agricultural Marketing Act
'espite the fact that it has been
in effect less than one year and
that operations under it have been
conducted over a still shorter per-
icd Of tine. In an effort to hin
der its chances of success the
Chamber appropriately suggests
that study be made of the ques-
ton of olA to agriculture.
The National Industrial Confer
ence Board. Inc, a business mems
organization. conducted such 9
study in 1926 and arrived at the
conclusive that agriculture was in
need of prompt aid. This survey
was given wide publicity and pub
lished in hook form. At later
cate the Business Mems Commits
son on Agriculture, composed Of
representative Of the Nationa
Industrial Conference Board anC
of the Chamber of Commerce O.
the United States, published still
another volume dealing with tn,
agriculture situation and suggest
ing measures for its improvement
Two of the suggestions presentet
by the Business Mems Commission
on Agriculture were:

In Govt. For a Year
This organizational success in
the first year OF the Social-Demo-
cratic Radical Coalition Govern +
ment is of course of the greatest
political Importance. 1t repre-
sents a clear vote of confidence
for the Government and encour-
agement for the work of organi-
cation. 1t may be assumed that !
it will also give food for thought (
to the opponents Of the Govern
ment in Parliament.
Events that may be of great
Importance have taken place in
i Denmark in the last few weeks in
the sphere of disarmament. After
the elections there was a solid
majority for the Government pro-
posal, both in the House of Com
mons ,Folketing) - at least n
votes against 68-and among the
electors to this House. AS against
this there is a majority of four
votes against the Government pro-
posal in the Upper House Gland
sting). 1t has therefore been i'm
possible for the present to carry
the proposal. Under the Consti-
tuition it was also impossible to
dissolve the Upper House and to
attempt to secure majority of
this House through new general
election. Such a solution can only
happen in 1888 or 1884. On the
other hand one-half of the seats
in the Upper House will be re-
newed by ordinary elections in the
autumn of 1882 (that is, in 2Hs
years. and if the Upper House
majority had by then "buried" the
disarmament proposal or perhaps
flatly rejected it, there would be a
favorable opportunity of securing
a majority at these elections al.

The tremendous increase in public
expenditures in recent years mena-
ces the national pocket-book.
Fifteen years ago one-fourteenth OF
the national income was devoted to
the purposes of government. Today
about one-seventh of our income is
spent for these purposes. Public
expenditures have been increasing
at the rate of $500, 100000 a year and
now total $13, 200, 600, 900 annually,
or more than $4O,OOO,OO0 for each
working day.
It is forecast that unless the people
check governmental expenditures
they will soon consume one-fifth OF
our national income. The tremend-
GUS amount of waste, incompetence
and duplication of effort in govern
mental activities, is sad burden on
American prosperity.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

tuberculosis Christmas Seals re-
mind us of the approaching holiday
season with it's Joy, happiness and
spirit of free giving. This Thanks
giving Day marks their twenty-fourth
annual appearance in Maryland and
throughout the United States, in the
quest for funds with which to pre-
vent and combat tuberculosis. The
Seal Sale is sponsored in Maryland
by the Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation.
Christmas Seals also remind us
that 1892 Marylanders last year died
FROM tuberculosis, of this number
$50 were residents of the Counties of
Maryland. Medical authorities esti-
mated that there are approximately
nine active cases for each death re-
corded, which indicates that at pre-
sent there are more than $1,000
cases OF tuberculosis in Maryland
today, and of this number more than
74OO are residents of the counties.
Since the first Christmas Seal ap-
peared in 1907 the death rate from
tuberculosis in Maryland has been
cut by approximately sixty per
cent. Nevertheless, tuberculosis still
reigns as the leading cause of death
between the ages of fifteen and
forty, or the ages of greatest produc-
ton. Christmas Seals prevent and
combat tuberculosis in Maryland by
helping to support the Miracle
House" which is maintained at
Claiborne, Maryland, Statewide
Chest Clinics, Nursing Service,
Health Education, Industrial Work,
and Medical Research.

Perhaps the reason lies in the
fact that to the French person,

the growing popularity Of the
