While on this island they were without food or shelter except for the plane and 1t was terribly cold. being dressed only in silk underwear and busi- ness suits. They had light re- past which they had taken with them from Tokyo. After they con %umed that they had nothing more | until Moyle rigged sling shot by spreading the handles of a pair of pliers and attaching a piece of shock cord for an elastic. With ! thls crude weapon he managed to Kill seagull which they roast ed. This helped them wonderful Iy and soon they managed to take oh again. While camping On this island they built bonfires from the rift wood on the beach and heat d stones. They placed the ston- es in tne cabin of the plane to ny and keep warm. They left his island in the Pacific because he storm was getting worse and hey had no way of tying the ship down. They flew until they were out of gas and landed at he small fishing village of Mianu Pilga on the Siberian coast, about 50 miles south from Cape Naverin. across from Nome. about 500 mil es. There they were treated to some real clothing and had some good meals. Moyle and Allen de- e!ared themselves as being ex- 1remely thankful for tho many 'ourtesies done them by the Rus- sians.

THE GOVERNMENT TO THE RESCUE.

recent compilation of figures indicates that the Federal Governments budget for the current fiscal year calls for the expenditure of $974057 900 all of which is for work of such nature to bring re- lief to unemployment. Farm relief contributions form the heaviest single activity and for 1t the Government proposes to expend S250000,000, or 264 per cent of the total. Highway expenditures rank close second, PA per cent of the aggregate, or s219 922 800 Public buildings to get $l73869- 0o0 or TIT per cent. River and Harbor improve ments will cost s15s 857 Oo0 which is 163 per cent Ship construction calls for sl2992OOoo slightly more than l3 per cent and the remaining four per cent is for miscellaneous activities.
 Funds for this program, Administration leaders are confident, be expended without any danger of a serious deficit But there other proposals now pending in Congress immediate payment of adjusted compensation certificates for veterans of the World War additional farm relief, drought re- lief and others, which would entail billions of dollars To pay in cash adjusted certificates to vet erans would require bond issue of $3,5o0 100000. Under the plan adopted at the time Congress ap- proved adjusted compensation, reserve fund was set up which was calculated to be adequate to re- tire the obligation it matured without any extra financing Naturally the Federal treasury is not at this time prepared to meet the full obligation, or even 50 per cent of it, and must obtain the necessary funds from the public on Government securities
 This, and other additional heavy expenditures, can only be met by increasing taxation. This in turn cannot help but to act a deterrent on business and industry. In the end, if the relief expenditures grow top-heavy the final result will be to defeat the very which it is sought now to effect.

It's Time to End Prlce-FiXing.
(NeW York World )

On Saturday Congress passed a bill appropriat- ing $15OOO0,o00 more for the of the Farm Board in stablizng the prices of agricultural products. Ordinarily should expect such action to strenth- en the grain market. In this it did not. On the contrary, the price of wheat in Liverpool where the begging operations of the Farm Board of do not extend reached the lowest point since 1895 Even in Chicago the price of wheat for July dev cry which the board as yet has not undertaken to peg dropped 2h cents notwithstanding the big ap- propriation which has been made available for fur ther price-fixng. The nearer deliveries held firm merely because the Government through the Farm Board continued to purchase this wheat at its fixed price.
 The board, meantime, reaffrmed it's purpose to maintain domestic quotations at the present or a higher level and Chairman Legge pointed with satisfaction to the fact that Chicago wheat was selling at 16 cents above the quotations in Liver pool So long as Congress puts millions at his disposal he continue to buy wheat at prices above the world market, and the more he buys the greater will be the depressive effect on prices which not subject to this artificial control This was clearly demonstrated by the big break in July wheat in Chicago Monday.
 The Farm Board through it's stabization cor poration holds 120000,000 bushels of wheat either actually in its possession for future delivery. The it accumulates the greater be- come its paper losses. Some day this grain must be sold The longer it overhangs the market the greater the damage it can cause. The board itself having put its hand to this business dare not let It is getting in deeper and deeper. Its unhappy venture destined to go the way of the coffee scheme in Brazil and the rubber scheme in the East Indies and it cannot be ended too It is the plain duty of Congress to end it. to liquidate the whole price-fixing machinery of the Farm Board at the earliest moment and repair far as possible the damage which has already been done by it's mischievous tamperng with the markets.

As Fair Field and No Favor.
(New York Herald Tribune.)

The railway system of the country is facing an emergency In addition to the effects of the busi depression, it is being subjected to unfair competition from unregulated carriers. Motor trucks using right of way provided by the general tax payer sapping its business in high class freight Coastwise and inland water craft using canals and channels also provided at public expense, serious ly cutting into its traffic in lowgrade commodities These are it's most threatening competitors, but to them must be added the growing number of pipe lines conducting for long distances petroleum, gaso line and natural gas (the last named a substitute for coaD and the electric power transmission lines which also obvate coal haulage.
 Two fundamental but conflicting considerations must be reconciled in the solution of this problem The first has to do with the country's enormous financial stake in its railroads. They support di- rectly about 8Oo00o0 men, women and children Their purchases of supplies and material amount to sl,500000000 a year. They pay annually in taxes $5OoooOooo Their solvency is obviously of the ut most importance to the national wellbeing.
 On the other hand there is nothing sacred about their particular method of transportation Society is entitled to the development of other more econ onical means, notwithstanding the disocation and suffering that may accompany the transition. Just because the railroads vested interest should not deter them from experimenting with agencies which promise cheaper, more efficient service.
 But the promise should be real and not imag- mary The railroads long period of years have been gradually fitted to legislative harness which holds them in leash to their customers while extracting from them the last farthing of contri- button to the public treasury. At present little nothing of the kind is being imposed on the newer agencies The result is virtual subsidy to the latter which is crippling the railroads without econ omic excuse. Such favortism only end in social disaster.
 Professor Ripley, of Harvard, has echoed the demand of the Association of Railway Executives that Congress face the emergency by subjecting all common carriers to the species of regula- ton which now handicaps the railroad. This, it seems to us, is the least it do to remedy dan gerous situation.
