The police whistle had sum-
moned all the residents of Green
Terrace, and among the foremost
was EleanOr's brother. He went
into the crowd gathered about the
unknown man. He helped bring
him to consciousness, and when he
was once more on his feet, the man
in the green overcOat suddenly
gripped John Bradley's arm.

Captain Lewis. You remember how
he saved my life in France? Mel

hustled his belated and damaged
guest toward home, and Eleanor
lowered demurely near by. Her
thoughts were chaotic. That heroic
friend of John's-and she had in
suited him-called him a pick
pocket!
In the living room Eleanor told
her story, and Captain Lewis
grinned foolishly as he described
his feelings upon finding the
strange bag in his pocket. Later
in the evening he murmured to FL

story, Miss Bradley?'

Roosevelt and the French
Farm Policy

Gov. Franklin d. Roosevelt returned from France
full Of praise for Frances approach to the problem
Of balancing agriculture and MISUNDERSTANDING the
French protective tariff on farm products. He said
one Of the things for which France has been work
Ing is a good balanced agriculture and industry-"not
too much industry and not too much agriculture" He
admitted that this IS probably one Of the factors
which makes the economic depression not so serious
In France as in more industrial nations. This excerpt
from the Roosevelt interview should appeal to Pro-
gressive Texans. Incorporated. and those who are I'm
sympathy with the building aims Of the organization:
That's what we are working for in this country.
France produces Just about enough agricultural pro-
ducts for her own needs. Generally speaking, she
neither imports nor exports any. Therefore, the
French tariff comes into play and helps stabilize agri-
culture. This has proved very valuable"
French farmers feed the tables OF France. French
manufacturers produce the manufactures that are
In demand In France as well as a small surplus for
foreign buyers. There has been no bread line in
France since the depression came.
