ing power and unable to buy the prod
ucts of the factory which they nor
mally would consume.
It is evident that any proposal to
remedy conditions which fails to pro-
vide purchasing power for the, masses
of consumers is palliative and is
doomed to fail.
Convinced that the Federal Govern
ment is the only agency able to sue
ceSsfully undertake program large
enough to re-create purchasing power,
l have introduced a bill in the Senate
providing for a S5.5OO,O 0OO0 prosperity
bond issue to be used by the Federal,
State and municipal governments in
tremendously expanding their respective
public works programs The best esti-
mates obtainable indicate that the ex-
penditure of this sum for construction
will provide work directly and indirectly
for at least 100000 persons.
A well balanced Program OF this mag
nitude will stimulate production all
along the line from raw materials to
finished products. Most important of
all it will stimulate a rise in commod-
ity and security values which is abso-
lutely essential if we are to induce re-
covery.
The pressure under commodity prices
will come from two directions: First.
from the immediate demand for finished
and semi finished products; second,
from the distribution of wages and
salarics which will Immediately be re-
f1ected in demand for consumer goods.
The flotation of the large bond issue
will be an important factor in Offset
ting the disastrous deflation now in
progress. Forcing commodity prices up
ward will Immediately change the entire
psychology of the consumer. Mer-
chants will be encouraged to stock their
stores instead of carrying the lowest in
ventories in modern times. Consumers
will purchase millions OF dollars worth
of goods which they have not bought
because of declining prices.
Would Stimulate Industries.
Basic industries hard hit by the de-
preston will be stimulated Immediately
by this construction program. Iron,
steel lumber, cement. brick, tile, glass
and all other building supply industries
will Immediately feel its repercussions.

Fury of Morse Boys
Proves Nearly Fatal

BERGEN - Boyish indignation at
having to go to school came near to
resulting in tremendous catastrophe
in the district Of Sveland, Norway, the
other day. Two young rebels, the
oldest. aged IL. decided to end their
studies by the simple expedient Of
blowing up the school house. They
succeeded in stealing several sticks Of
dynamite from warehouse and plant
ed them in the school house cellar.
Fortunately, they placed the fuse in
the wrong way and the charge failed
to explode.
While the authorities, who had
been advised of the dynamite's theft,
searched frantically for the robbers,
the youngsters tried unsuccessfully to
blow up an automobile. The police
luckily caught them before they we're
able to try any other "attentats."
Twenty-Five or 80 children might
have perished had the dynamite
chaEe exploded during school hours.

attracting increasing attention
i A realization is gradually
spreading that Great Britain, in
the defense of its own interests, is ac-
lively engaged in trying to persuade or
force abandonment of the gold standard
by every one. including France and the
United States.
BY means Of personal and written
propaganda, Great Britain is trying to
undermine the theory of the gold
standard OF which for hundred years
it was the stanchest supporter. and at
the same time. by campaign of
rumors. is apparently endeavoring to
weaken the defenses of the few remain
ing gold-standard countries by shaking
the confidence in their stability.
Both France and the United States,
though tardily. are beginning to react.
Nothing apparently was done to keep
the Scandinavian countries and Japan
from following Great Britain's lead.
They all, 1t is said, could rather easily
have been saved, but France and the
United States. chief remaining strong
holds of the gold standard and its natu-
raj defenders were taken unawares
Now it is Holland. Canada and South
Africa which are struggling, and the
question is being studied, it is said, of

accordance with the terms of the bull
letin issued after the recent Hoover
Laval talks. to make a new declaration
either singly or jointly reiterating their
intention to maintain and restore the
gold standard wherever possible.
Hope Against Propaganda.
Relatively small banking credits
placed at the disposition of some smaller
countries now being attacked could, it
is suggested. insure their successful de-
fense and might turn the whole tide
of British propaganda. Holland and
Switzerland, feeling this danger, decided
last wednesday to authorize their gov
ernments to begin drastic restriction
of imports, establishing the quota sys-
tenn if necessary. Holland, in self
defense. has just shipped large sum
of gold to Paris.
British agents, it is reported here,
have been sent out to both Canada and
South Africa to persuade these British
domlnions that their stubborrnness in
sticking to gold Is against their own
best interests. South Africa, however,

ceeding months of 1882 may see us
definitely on the upward trail.
Since the crash critics have had
great deal to say about the defects in
our distributive mechanism. But far
too many of these comments are likely
to leave two rather serious misconcep-
tions. In the first place, the impress
sion too often is conveyed that the
maladies of distribution are largely in
that realm Of the subject which hap

tors have been fagrantly lax in their
operations. 1t must be admitted that
some branches of the vast distributive
activities of the country are character
lied by what appear to be careless
methods, but the stress of these recent
trying times has brought about
thorough introspective analysis, a
searching out of weaknesses in every
corner of business and the shortcomings
of distribution have not escaped. In
deed. one of the few comforts which We
might take out of these hectic two years
is that they have revealed the frailties
of many business processes and
practices. 1t is not my purpose at this
time to endeavor in the least to allocate
the blame for any of these preventable
wastes. The important thing is to

Munich Leads German
Cities in Milk Drinking

BERLIN, Germany.-The Munich
Medical Weekly astonishes the country
with the report that Munich drinks
more milk per capita than any other
German city, the average for 1880 hav-

on the other hand, is dropping steadily.

TULL text of the speech made by
- Senator Robert NJ La Toilette
of Wisconsin last night in the
National Radio Forum follows:
Fellow citizens:
We are confronted by one of the
most serious crises in our history We
cannot talk ourselves out of the de-
preston. Exhortation, the juggling
of statistical data and ballyhoo have
been tried and have dismally failed
We must face the facts.
Entering the third Winter of de-
preston we find industrial production
has declined 43 per cent. Freight car
loadings have fallen 81 per cent Resi-
dental building is down 80 per cent
In the last quarter of 1881 total build
ing contracts we're 81 per cent lower
than the average of 1923 to 1925.
Five hundred and fifty of the largest
industrial corporations had net in
come in 1929 of $3,500,000 1000. At the
close of 1881. it is estimated their net
income will have fallen to S1,100o00, =
900, a loss of S2,400,0000
In the year 1929. there was defaulted
approximately $200,000,000 worth of
bonds. 1t is estimated that by the
close of this year $4,000 100000 worth
of bonds will be in default.
The paper loss on all issues of listed
bonds since 1928 amounts to approxi-
mately 3,O00,000,000
Two thousand four hundred and
eighty-eight banks failed between 1923
and 1880 Up to November 30, last,
1882 banks had failed, making total
of 4,420 banks which have closed their
doors since 1928.
50,000,000 Are Affected.
According to the estimates of the In
dustrial Conference Board. 100000
men and women are walking the streets
looking for work and unable to find it.
At least 5000, 900 more are working on
part time and for reduced wages This
means that with their dependents at
least 50000,000 of our population who
rely upon wages have had their pur-
chasing power drastically reduced or
completely wiped out. They are no
|! longer able to purchase the products
of the farm and factory.
DR.. Leo Wolman, noted economist,
estimates the wage and salary loss dur
ing the depression to be approximately
$4,000 100000.
Agriculture, depressed since 1920, is
in a desperate situation. Six million
farmers are forced to sell their crops In
a glutted market at ruinous prices.
Thirty millions of our people dependent
upon agriculture are without purchas-

Acting President Martinez Is barred
from recognition by clause in the
treaty which specifies that no person
having held post in the cabinet of the
ousted regime, within six months previ-
Gus to the revolt, can be recognized as
chief executive Senor Martinez was
minister of war of the Araujo admins
tration until few days before the
coup d'etat"
And all the military and civil leaders
of the revolution also are barred, for
the washington Treaty provides that no
one having had part in political
uprising in Central America. nor
relative of his. can be recognized as the
head of the newly established regime.
Which goes only to prove that the
trouble is not vet over in Ell Salvador
Nor is trouble over in other Latin
American republics which either have
just undergone presidential elections or
are on the eve of holding them.
In Peru, where the recent presiden-
tial contest resulted in the election Of
a man who only few months before
had been deprived Of power and ex-
PEELED from the country, the situation
offers too many disturbing elements to
give the new chief executive chance
the states economic problems.
President Sanchez Cerro, besides, has
already had occasion to experience the
fickleness of public opinion in his coun-
| try. Last year, when he started the
revolution to overthrow the 1l-year rule
of Dictator Leguia. he was hailed the

ceeded in breaking down Leguias dicta-
+, torship, the daring colonel was imme-
diately acclaimed the provisional presi-
dent of Peru.

SCHOOL BOARDS GIVE

Tn the employment of teachers for the present year, writes Com missioner Keller in the Alaska School Bulletin, it is gratifying to note that the school boards of the Territory have given preference to Alaskan teachers. This is in ac- cord with the recommendations of the Commissioner of Education, contained in the March issue of the Alaska School Bulletin, and in letters sent to school board mem bers.
 One of the significant weakness es of the Alaska school system has been found in the large turnover of teachers each year finding near ly 50 per cent of the teachers new to the Territory. While figures are not yet complete it is estimated that as result of the new policy not over 20 per cent of the teachers

The fact that spongy, loose
woven woOlens are "it' for the
making of the white coat led Miss
Compson to choose a soft open
mesh basket cloth which, as you
see, has been tailored to perfection.
The wide revers, the broad belt
with a buckle, the slenderizing
lines, the neckpiece of fiat white
fur, the white beret, and the white
shoes trimmed with a wee bit of
color are all high spots in the mode.
Just a touch of white does not
do the trick this season. To carry
the message of chic across there
must be lots and lots of white.
First in Importance is the all-white
dress worn beneath the dark coat.
The white jacket, preferably of
thin fabric-like fur with the dark
skirt, is also tres chic.
It's not necessary to wait until
midsummer for the realization of
your dreams-wear white now and
be among the first to declare this
vogue.
