Division of Property Is Chi
cago Problem.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February IL. Josiah
Mowers whisky is safe. He keeps it In
vault in a Loop bank.
The liquor was a matter Of argument
in the divorce suit of his wife. Fran
cenia. She was granted half interest
for life in Mowers 100000 properties,
but it was argued in his behalf that
the whisky couldn't be turned over to
Mrs. Mower because its transportation
would be a technical violation Of Fed
eral dry laws.
Judge Joseph SABBATH ruled in Now
er's favor on the liquor question. but
gave his wife a divorce on grounds Of
desertion yesterday-the forty-second
anniversary of their marriage.

Granddaughter of Perry.

Another interesting sidelight on the
transfer to Toxic is that Mrs. Grew,
the former Alice de Vermandois Perry,
is a granddaughter of the American
admiral, Matthew G. Perry, who COM
manded the expedition to Japan in 1852
which opened trade between that coun-
try and the United States. Admiral

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 Q.N.S0-
In another listleSS session today,
cotton futures held within a mar
row range at approximately last
nights closing levels.
With Liverpool 4 to 5 American
points higher than due, a reflec-
ton Of a lower rate for sterling,
the market, in moderately active
trading, opened unchanged to 4
points higher.
Price Fixing Orders
There was a fair volume Of
pricefixing orders from domestic
and foreign mills on the first call,
especially in July. Some outside
buying was noted in distant
months.
Hedge selling was moderate in
volume. Cooperative brokers sold
distant months. New Orleans and
local traders sold.
The cotton map showed a con-
tinued absence Of rainfall, and
most Of the belt was clear, al
though it was part cloudy to
cloudy in the western and South
eastern sections. Forecast for the
Eastern belt was fair and warmer.
Carried by Merchants
Local merchants are said to be
carrying some cotton in the In
terror unhedged, and gossip is
that the farmers have turned in
a large quantity of cotton to
the co-operatives for which they
get a seed loan equivalent to
more than the price at which
cotton is selling in the South.

BY LEWIS HANEY


professor of Economies, New York
University.
Some people seem to think
that by going on as we have the
last year or two we are pre-:
serving our old institutions and
protecting individual initiative.
To my mind, we have been
doing just the opposite. We
have been putting the Govern
ment into business in unparal-
leled ways.
Destroying Initiative
We have been taking the
surest way to destroy individual
initiative in business.
Don't you know that through
the r. F. C.. the Government
has become a sort of huge
pawnbrOker for the nations
farmers?
What individual initiative is
left to a business man who is so
deeply in debt that he cannot
call his business his own?
Yet the process of Saving" va
rious big businesses and the farm
ers by putting them deeper and
deeper into debt goes merrily on
Small Loan Business
The Federal Government has
already gone into the small-loan
business extensively in making
loans to farmers to raise more
crops for already glutted markets.
Now it is going into the small
loan business even further through
the new Federal home loan dis
count banks. Not only does this

open the door to q squandering
Of Federal funds and the piling
up Of frozen assets, but 1t puts
the Government into a business
which individual business men
should be handling.
What would Alexander Hamil-
ton have said to such projects!
Government Holds Bag
The other day we were told
that several hundred railways
have been on the verge Of re-
ceivership, but have been saved"
by government credit. Well, the
government (R.F.C0 now holds
the bag. It is becoming the big
railway bondholder. It may yet
be forced to take the railways
over.
AS I have been pointing out
for years, credit is debt. This
we seem to overlook. Somehow,
we think that credit is construc-
tive.
But in reality every credit
means a debtor, and as a result
of the government credit debauch
Of the past year the nation has
had riveted upon it the mass of
debt under which it groans.
Prating Of Freedom.
What is the use of prating
about business freedom under
such conditions?
Much Of the trouble has lain
in the prostitution Of the Fed
eral Reserve System. This sys-
tenn was originally designed to
mobilize credit. That is, the ex-
isting supply of sound credit was
to be used with maximum ef-
fiCiency by shifting it from one
center to another.
But now we are using the Re
serve System to manufacture
new credit out of whole cloth.
Debts are created which have no
justification in profitable busi-
ness and which have no appar-
ent basis Of payment.
