ture to avoid the closing of perfectly
sound and solvent banks that are un-
able Immediately to collect good loans
when unusual Withdrawals are made by
delositors as the result of unfounded
rumors or fear.
One of the really vital steps in the
process of busines recovery is the stimu-
lation of home building. Banks and
other financial institutions hesitate to
loan money freely for the long periods
of home construction and home payment
when it is difficult to rediscount or other
wise realize cash upon the notes and
mortgages taken as security, if neces-
sary to meet demands of depositors. The
President has given notice that he will
propose plan to aid in financing home
building that should make nearly $2,O0O,-
100000 available. 1t is believed that
many industries and millions of people
normally engaged in them will benefit
through the stimulation of home build
ing. Certainly that is a project that
should have the prompt consideration of
Congress.
One of the needs of agriculture is pro-
lection against spectators attacks upon
prices through unwarranted Short SELL
ing of commodities gambling to bring
about decline in the market value of
farm products. This is a subject that
merits the studious attention of Con-
gress, and although certain assurances
have. already been given by stock and
grain exchanges of a curb upon specu-
lative bear" attacks it may be that leg
islative action is needed The subject is
one that should and will be studied
for the protection of our agricultural
workers.
Incidentally, it may be well to point
out that the depression in agriculture is

to the hopeless attempt Of governments
to pay debts and sustain trade and COM
merce by issuing money" with practi-
cally nothing back of it except the paper
on which it is printed or engraved
We have before us examples of the
utter futility of trying to create pros
perity by borrowing money or issuing
currency to distribute broadcast-for
sooner or later the money must be repaid
or the currency made good The plan of
borrowing from Peter to pay Paul never
yet has solved individual or national
financial problems.
Huge sums are being spent by the
Government to erect public buildings, to
build roads and otherwise create employ
ment that substitutes useful labor for
relief purposes instead of charity or the
dole" Meanwhile, the revenue of the
Government from income and other
taxes, duties and miscellaneous sources
has been cut in half. The result, of
course, is that Federal expenditures
q greatly exceed the money coming into
the Treasury, so that bonds and notes
must be used to meet the deficit. The
principles of sound national finance die
tate the balancing of income with out
go. The duty of Congress is to impose
whatever additional taxes are necessary
without making them SO excessive or dis
criminatory against any class as to cur

up the source of revenue

Drug Imports Drop

THE crude drug imports into the United States
! last year fell off decidedly from the previous
year, but those received were of far better
nature. For the year ending July 81 4O,0OO,-
900 pounds of various products were imported
this total being about two-thirds of the pre-
vious years In the past year only about per
cent of the imports were detained as being in

worldwide in extent An instance Of
the desperate remedies proposed else
where is the report from Sac Paulo,
Brazil, under date of November r. This
report told of an emergency cabinet
meeting to consider the demand of the
growers organization that 100000
sacks of coffee, held in warehouses;
should Immediately be destroyed because
the surplus has a depressing effect on
prices.
HERE is no shortcut to restoration
of farm prosperity IN the United
States, in the face of world conditions
of agricultural overproduction; but Ger
talnly the legitimate needs and requests
OF our farm population should and will
be needed in the new Congress There
never was a better example of the
worthiness of our agricultural population
for legitimate assistance than the result
of the drought loans. Millions of dollars
loaned to farmers in the drought areas
for seed, fertilizer and other crop pur-
poses have generally been repaid before
maturity
Other problems, so numerous that they
can be mentioned here only briefly, will
demand the attention of the new Con-
greSS. There is the question of preserv-
ing the credit of the railroads, billions
OF dollars of whose bonds are held by
mutual insurance companies as trustees
for policy holders. Unrestricted bus and
truck competition and other factors are
cutting down railroad revenue Congress
has the opportunity to deal with this
question.
The laws for the care Of disabled vet
Grams are not perfect; possibly some
amendments will have to be made. Ger
tain great and vital industries, producing
essential commodities such as coal, Oil,
lumber and copper, are struggling with
the problems of overproduction, which
limit prices and wages, make employ
ment irregular and uncertain. Some
changes in antitrust laws, permitting
reasonable degree of cooperation in
dealing with these problems, is desirable
from the public standpoint as well as
that OF private interest. This is another
subject for congressional consideration.
Other nations are struggling with
financial problems more serious by far
than ours, and Congress is called upon,
by the proposed ratification of the mora
torium agreement, to extend time to the
nations of Europe to work out a solu-
tion The proposal for adhesion to the
World Court will again come up for con-
sideration as will resolutions looking TO
establishment of Philippine independ-
ence and operation of the Muscle Shoals
power and fertilizer plant
In this Congress, as in every other,
there will be dissention and criticism;
bitterness and strife. But regardless of
that, the American ship of state will be
brought safely through this time of world
crisis.

They helped Uncle Wiggily put up
the slide-that is, they tried to help
but Mr.. Longears said he could do
it more quickly all by himself. So
he sent the children to buy ice
cream cones and when they came
back the slippery slide was finished.
1t was made of wood from the slip
perry elm tree, which is the slipper
est kind there is.
The slide was just like those you
may have seen in a park or play
ground or at the seashore. One
after another Jingle, Jangle, Baby
Bunty, Buster, Custer and Duster
climbed up to the high part and
then slid down the smooth, wooden
chute to the bottom. Then they
did it all over again, laughing and
shouting with glee.
Once, all of a sudden, when Baby
Bunty started down the slippery
slide she only went half way and
then she stopped.
Go on Go on, Bunty!" cried
Jingle, who was right behind her.
Go on Slide down or I'll bump
into youl Go on! Slide!"
Il can't slide!" said Bunty.
why not?" asked Buster, who
was waiting his turn.
Because I'm stuck!' said Bunty.
I'm caught on something on this
slide and I can't slip! oh, Oh!
Go call Unkie Wig!"
Uncle Wiggily came running out
of the bungalow. He saw Bunty
stuck half way down the slide.
do you think the Bob Cat has
caught me?" asked the little or
phan.
Nonsense. No Bob Cat at ALL"
chuckled Mr.. Longears. Some
sticky gum from the pine tree over
the slide has dripped down on the
smooth place, and you are stuck
in the pine gum, Bunty. That's all
Wait. I'll soon unstick you and you
can go on sliding" Getting little
butter from Nurse James kitchen,
Uncle Wiggily handed it up to Ba-
by Bunty. She reached under her
legs, rubbed the butter on the sticky
pine gum and right away she slid
down so fast she didn't know what
to think. But she laughed. The
butter covered the sticky gum and
after that every little animal boy
and girl around the bungalow had
lots of fun on the slippery slide.
So if the circus man will let the
pussy cat climb up on top of the
big tent and slide off into the pink
lemonade, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily's flying rings.
