Arthur M. Hyde Is United States secretary OF agri-
culture in the cabinet Of Herbert Hoover. His latest
is the farmer Of the United States received the
theoretical advantage OF slo2 a year under the new
tariff act. He commended that the average farm
family buys products during the year on whiIn a
tariff OF s4s is collected while his entire production
IS protected BY the tariff act and he collects approx
mately $50 a year more than when his products
are duty free.
He should tell It 70 Senator Tom Connaly and
Minority Leader John n. Garner Of Texas. Hyde
is a gentleman farmer. lawyer and banker. There is
a campaign on. He is pointing out to the American
farmers the beauty and benefit of the Hawiey-Smoot
tariff act Now the farmer is a grower Of things. If
he receives sl02 under the new tariff act what Is the
financial reward Of the maker OF things under the
act?
Mr.. Hyde IS the big voice OF the department Of ag-
riculture. A department bulletin Just issued blames
lower prices and increased competition from larger
world crops as the principal factors contributing TO
the smallest volume OF agricultural exports during
the past years since 1910. Mr.. Hyde should blue pen

An Aftermath Of War

William Philip Simnns, an experienced writer on
foreign affairs. recently undertook to tahulate the
revots, instructions and armed struggles that are
engaging the attention Of the world this fall.
He found, when he got through, that nearly three
fourths OF the population Of the globe is involved II
actual or potential uprisings.
Unrest stirs practically all Of South America. Pc
run and Argentina are putting their houses in order
after sudden revolutions Brazil is n the midst OF q
desperate civil war. Communists are ready to march
on the capital OF Bolivia. Venezuela is ready for a
revolt. Chile barely nipped a revolutionary plot in
the bud.
In Europe the situation is little better. Spain and
Portugal are smouldering with discretionary fires.
In Poland. PilsudSki Is striving TO stamp out new
flames Of discomfort. Hungary prepares to proclaim
youthful Prince Otto as its king. and JugoSlavia. Ru-
mania and Czechoslovskia are ready to invade her If
she does. The Balkans are full Of dire rumors and
portents. Russia is making ready for war. Ger
many, swept by a Fascist wave, debates the repudia-
ton Of the Versailles treaty. while France makes
ready to fight if such a thing does indeed happen
IN India the revolt gets more widespread instead
Of less. Civil war continues TO ravage China. Egypt
Is still unsettled. Palestine IS full Of disorder. Persia
and Turkey are snarling at one another across the
border, while the EurdS raid both lands impartlally.
Thus Mr.. Simms sums It UP. 1t is nearly a dozen
years since the end of the war that was to end war,
but the peace Of the world was never more insecure
Trying to figure cut what it al means. is a task
for experts only. Yet one would not be far wrong,
probably. II one traced the whole business. in one
way or another. back to the World War That con-
fict ended In the fall Of 1918. but the forces and the
ideas which 1t set In motion are still working. n
dia, China, Europe-do not all Of their difficulties
stem back to the things that were done between 1914
and 1918? Is it possible to understand any Of them
without studying their relationship with the war?
When we talk about the World War We usually cen
slider It simply as the most destructive explosion in
human history. What We often fail to realize Is that
st marked the end Of On epoch. 1t Is stin too carly
to appraise its effects. II Is still working.
10 may be that the turmoil. the change. the unrest
that we're born Of the war will still be operating 90
years from now. And as we watch them we shall
get a new idea OF the expensive consequences OF the
worlds folly in 1914.

Flogging AS A Punishment

Chairman George w. Wickersham Of the national
commission OF law enforcement has suggested that
a careful inquiry be made into the merits Of ~flogging
as a punishment to combat banditry and racketeer-
ing. In England and in Canada flogging by birch
or BY the bat IS inflicted and Delaware Is the only
American state where the whip is used. Little Della
ware knows how to handle its criminals. One flcg-
ging is all the criminal needs. After a flogging and
liberation from a Delaware prison the victim avoids
the commonwealth as he would the smallpox pest.
IN the world Of bandits and racketsers in the great
American cities there is war to the knife between the
underworld desperadoes. They use the revolver or the
machine gun and their slogan is that dead men tell
no tales. Chairman Wicker5ham, calling attention 10
spectacular methods employed by modern criminals
declared that society must defend itself as it would
in actual warfare. 1t may come to this at last.
