A Breathing Space2

TINE farmers of this country are
Il in a sorry plight. Their prop
critics are being foreclosed with
clock-like precision.
In many cases the foreclosures
are being made by banks or insti-
tutions which the government has
helped.
To a less extent, home. owners all
over the land are being sold out.
The worst feature of it all is that
those who foreclose often make a
profit.
Farm loan banks, for instance,
though appearing to lose money
when they sell farm to satisfy the
mortgage on it, often more than
square accounts by using the cash
to buy in their own bonds at half
of their face value. 1t sounds smart,
until one begins to think of the
misery back stage.
Senator Borah appeals to banks,
life insurance companies and other
mortgage holding concerns for len
iency. President Hoover has done
the same thing.
The call, however, goes UNDECIDED.
The ledger demands implicit obedi-
ence.
What's the answer? We found it
for European governments in a
moratorium, and some European
governments did the same thing for
their own people during the war
Maybe we could do worse than
give the hard-pressed farmers and
small home owners a similar
breathing space.

Auto Trucks

OK automobile dumping trucks
~ with bodies of aluminium have
been built for the United States
bureau of mines fuel yard in Wash
ington.
These bodies are II feet long, 7
feet wide and feet 9 inches high

each, 1000 pounds less than if made
of steel" DR.. Frary says.
Nearly a ton more coal can be
hauled each trip. Each truck trav-
els fifty to sixty miles day.
"A fuel dealer in Providence has

".This Government Is Permit
ting It's Economic Struc-
tire to Be Undermined at
the Bottom"
NEW YORK, Sept. "a plot of
~ debt engulfs the world-na-
tional debt, corporate debt, personal
debt.
Payment has stopped largely be-
cause of the rise in money.
It is much harder for average
people to get an ounce of gold by
the exchange of other commodities,
or labor, than it was five years ago.
The value Of about everything
save gold has slumped. In some in
stances. 1t has slumped as much as
SO. so, or even 80 per cent.
Gold is out of line, but most debts
must be paid in gold, or with paper
backed by gold.
Last year the greatest govern
ments avoided bankruptcy by
agreeing to a moratorium.
Even with that advantage, they
find themselves unable to get back
on a basis of regular payments this
year.
There has been a continuous re-
vision of debts since the war. In
some countries, this revision has
been made to include mortgages,
bonds and personal notes.
The United States government
has done nothing to postpone, or re-
duce debts, except in the case of
European nations. The result is
that thousands, if not millions of
its own people, have been sold out
by their creditors.
To state the situation bluntly,
this government is permitting its
economic structure to be under
mined at the bottom. Farmers and
homeowners are suffering most, and
more than any other class, they
constitute the foundation of society.

Conservative Philosophy

OUR government has proceeded
" on the assumption that If it
took care of the big boys they, in
turn, would take care of the little
boys.
1t has made vast sums of money
available for banks and corpora
lions. 1t has established the Re
construction Finance Corporation,
increased the capital of farm loan
banks and provided for home loan
bank.
The great credit structure thus
created was supposed to help people
by helping institutions. The man
in the street was supposed to enjoy
some modicum of relief through the
good offices of those private bust
ness concerns which stood between
him and his government.
The grand idea back of it all was
to relieve the masses without direct
contact, without letting any one
who wasn't organized, chartered, or
incorporated get his hands on the
money.
That idea represents the conserv-
ative philosophy Our reactionary
statesmen are glad enough to talk
about rugged individualism" when
it comes to getting votes, but when
it comes to relief, or government
subsidies, they want a president and
board of directors.

A WHEELBARROW, capable Of

The wheelbarrow, made Of an
aluminium alloy combining strength

of new developments described by
DR.. Thomas c. Frary. director Of
research of the Aluminium Com
pany Of America. in a report to
the engineering foundation.
Aluminium also has entered rail-
road and highway transportation
and IS being used in manufacture
of cars and trucks, DR.. Frary re-
ports.
Scientific and industrial research
has had large part in the adap-
tation of aluminium to a great va
riety of practical uses" he says.
Not the least of the steps in this
progress has been the development
of strong and relatively hard alloys
and methods for treating them
to improve their qualities for cer-
tain uses.
aluminium means cooking uten-
sils in the household. Without its
alloys. aircraft would not be prac-
ticable on the present-day scale.
Business offices are becoming ia
miliar with aluminium furniture.
Watches have been made of
aluminium. Pipes, steam radiators
