BY ROBERT P. SCRIPTS

H ARLY in this century, and up
~ to a few years ago, it was the
theory of certain economists that
when, in the United States, technolo-
gical improvements in industry en-
abled per capita production to catch
up with and surpass a population
increasing at a diminishing rate,
business would find a ready-madt
cushion" awaiting it in the form Of
an accelerated foreign trade.
Early in the century, certain ma
tons Of Latin America were ad-
vancing rapidly in their civilization,
with consequent increases in their
demand for manufactured goods
which long had come to be classed
as necessities in this country. Even
in the face of European competition,
ours was an expanding trade with
these countries.
In the face of foreign competition,
this trade generally was not so
healthy just prior to 1914, but the
World war, and the economic con-
fusion in Europe following the war,
gave it fresh impetus.
Now, however, it is beginning to
slack off again.

At Last-A Long Last

Congress should pass quickly and President Hoover
should sign the Muscle Shoals compromise bill agreed
upon after ten years of dispute.
The bill is not everything everybody had hoped for
but it is fair compromise. 1t provides that Muscle
Shoals shall be operated for the benefit of farmers
by being utilized for the manufacture of cheap fer
tilizer.
1t allows the concern which leases the fertilizer
facilities to have preferential rights III a large block
Of electric power.
At the same time it retains for the people who
paid for Muscle Shoals, the hydro-eectric power
facilities there; and it provides for that great east
Tennessee development, Cove Greek dam.
1t keeps this electric energy out of the hands of
private power interests, and allows the government to
build transmission lines to states, countless and munich
palities within transmission distance
Unless members convictions are overridden by
party leaders, the house will approve the compromise
this newspaper believes
Senate approval thereafter generally Is conceded
The President should be thankful that congress
is prepared to lift this old problem of his shoulders
he wants to help the country generally, the south
and the farmers in particular, Hoover will sign the
compromise

sixty on the straightaways, with
something of for caution on the

Besides, nobody had mentioned
the detours. Most of the way the
roads are good, but there remain
spots which keep Nogales from
being precisely Tucson's Harlem.
After a vast roaring progress
through a moonless night the driver
turned to me and said, "Only three
miles more and We'll be in Nogales. y
He had a nasty habit Of turning
around to impart information or to
tell jokes while the speed was still
breakneck.
Fortunately no anecdote was cur

in fraction of a second Won
dered whether column readers could
be induced to contribute anything
to ransom.
I decided that this was unlikely
and resolved to sell my life dearly.
But there were no bandits. The
driver pointed to a sign and cursed
softly. It read, Bridge down; use
detour for Nogales."

Old English sheep dogs are used

herdsmen and occasionally as re-

are used chiefly as a companion
