Germany Is Market
For American Corn

Germany was pictured today as
the immediate market for about
2O,OOO,ooO bushels of corn, in a
dispatch to the Commerce De-
partment from United States
Consul John Bruins, at Hamburg
the corn distributing center of
that country. Should the Amer.
lean market price fall to $14 per
metric ton, slightly lower than
, the current level. a brisk business
would result and the entire Ger
man import would be likely to
come from the United States, in
Bruins opinion.

BISHOP sHAHAN
New Haven Register)

New Haven Register)
The career Of Bishop Thomas j.
Shahan shows how q union OF in
tellectual ability and progressive
spirit can raise O man to high po-
sition In his chosen field and to
prestige that knows few geograph-
ic boundaries. AS an educator,
writer and spiritual leader of men,
young men especially. he lived a
full life.
Bishop shahan was a New Eng
lander, and 1t was SO years ago
that he began his work in the
priesthood, a curate here in st
Johns church. He had studied in
Montreal, Rome Berlin and Paris,
He acted as chancellor and secre-
tary to the Diocese of Hartford
after his appointment here, and
then entered the field Of education
In which he spent the remainder
Of his life. From 1909 to 1929 he
was rector Of Catholic university,
and during that time performed
much OF the work that made him
an eminent figure in Catholic edu-
cation.
Catholics throughout the coun-
try probably will remember him
most of all for the way he acted
as guiding spirit In the erection OF
the National Shrine of the Iinmac-
uiate Conception. commonly ac-
knowledsed to be one OF the most
beautiful In the world. Many
men OF this section. alumni OF
Catholic university, will long re-
member him m an intimate friend.
New Haveners will recall him az q
frequent visitor 10 this city.

GETTING RID OF COFFEE.
'Meriden Journai)

NAiSNA0Ch VV1AhosI
100 much OF q good thing"
continues to apply to coffee in
Brazil where, according to report
from Rio de Janiero, growers are
still Destroying the commodity. In
their campaign to Improve" the
market by this means, they have
burned and otherwise disposed Of
3,012,341 sacks Of beans.
In this country we can realize
the desperate position Of the Brill
liam coffee growers by comparing
Il to that Of our western farmers
who have burned wheat and core
because there was an oversupply
and consequently no market.
In the South American country
there has been an accumulation of
surpluses over several years, which
the government helped growers
to hold In anticipation of better
prices. and this resulted finally In
q tremendous glut In the market
that could be relieved only by q
terrible waste Of the product.
The growers In a way brought
woe upon themselves In holding
out for higher prices In the face
OF overproduction instead Of letting
the market take Its natural price
course. Then again. as with wheat
corn, potatoes and other things In
this country. there has been too
much coffee growing In Brazil,
more than the world could con-
sumo with advantage to the plan
tation interests.
There Ia q possibility that the
destruction Of coffee that his been
going on may lead to some good.
Scientists have been experimenting
with degree Of success In OBJ
tanning useful gas from the
beans as they are burned.

day Who csn recall very wildly that great
storm which covered the eastern states with
huge snow drifts for the best part of two
days. Starting on March III the storm
ragged until the morning Of the 18th. While
weather statistics show that the aetesi fall
was less than two feet the drifts were pilsd
up to second story windows In many Sec
tions Of the city. Today we are apt to think
Of the blizzard 40 the worst In the history
Of the country. OF course. IL wasn't but 10
was an event to be shronieled.
New York has floufishins blizzard
club" that meets faithfully each year to re.
cali incidents Of the storm. Il seems that
each additional year brings forth new
story. Waterbury would like to hear from
its residents who remember the blizzard as It
struck this city and ensulfsd it for many
days In q snow blanket that defied mans
stttnest resistance. There must be some
interesting stories to be told. An annual
meeting would be just the place for them to
be made public or 70 Be kept in the clubs
archives.
As we have read descriptions Of the 1883
blizzard it started as rain storm. March
IL. being mild day. It changed to slest
and on the 18th the East was In the grip
Of a bowling blizzard. The snow stopped
on the 18th. but the winds and intense cold
persisted for some time. It was due to this
latter fact that 80 much misery and suffer.
ing prevailed. Of course. today we create
many tales Of the disastrous storm that ere
more fancy than fact but In the main those
who lived Though the blizzard and are
alive today can be counted upon to give a.
truthful picture Of the scenes as they re-
member them. Let's hope the famous big.
zard Of 1888 will long h q topic worth
repeating.

Taxes On Bank Cheeks

There are millions Of people in this eoun.
try today thinking seriously about tax
problems. and thousands of them offering
suggestions for raising public funds painless
ly or equitabiy. This Is an excellent thing.
even though most Of the suggestions are
unsound. One solution offered for the fer
eral revenue PROBLEM, 10 . government tax
on all bank checks. The proposer would
tax checks recording to their face value.
He estimates that even In . time Of depres.
sion there are 100000. 900. 900 a year
represented in checks. and tax Of one.tenth
Of one per cent would bring $500. oo0.o 600
into the public treasury. 1t would be col
leeted by the banks and charged to the writ
es Of the checks At the end Of every month.
What is wrong with this plan' One
thing. It least. BY penalzing the use Of
bank checks. Il would discourage checking
accounts and drive people back to cash pay
msnts This would mean the loss Of great
volume Of cash from the banks, just when
they need it most. Even the slight charge
sometimes made by banks to their customers,
for checks written in excess of certain
number per month, or in lieu Of minimum
balance. Is found to result in loss Of cash
from the banks. The easier check payments
become. the more cash flows into the banks
and remains there. and the more credit Is
available. MI as @f,,

governing agencies would % increase in

seern to bargain for votes with the under
world. Our candidates for office might
stick to vital issues in their eloquent out.

far and wide for opportunities to encourage

SATURDAY, MARCH IL, 1882
Look At Sweden

Temperance societies prohibitionists. and
refotmers in general ought to make conc
plete study of crime statistics in Sweden
before they start making extravagant claims
about the benefits Of the 9th Amendment
to the Constitution Of the United States.
Where in this nation it has become the
custom to blame three-fourths Of the infrae-
tons Of our laws upon the liquor statutes in
Sweden they point with pride to their sys-
tenn o. liquor control as the cause Of de-
crease in crime. The aim of the feformers
in both countries Is the same. but in the
European country they went at it much
more ~nsibly than we did and with better
results.
Doctor Ivan Bratt. the same man who
gave Sweden its present form of liquor con.
troll, addressed the International Wine Con-
xress now in session at Paris this week as
fellows: Sweden was on the point OF
adopting prohibition in 1912. but we
avoided il by substituting strict government
control Of liquor sales. and it Is now fairly
certain that we will never have 1t. Since
1912 the consumption of distilled spirits in
Sweden has decreased 50 per cent hospital.
ix1d, cases Of alcoholism have decreased II
psr cent and crimes Of violence attributed to
drunkenness have decreased 66 per cent.
Fortunately the prohibition question
never was mixed with politics in Sweden.
Our liquor control system does not embrace
beer and wine. can give three reasons for
prohibitions failure: First. it Is easy to
make aieohol. Second. 1t is easy to make
aaoney selling alcohol. Third it is diff
colt to convince people that il is morally
wrong to drink alcohol in moderation. In
any large city you will find hundreds Of
Thousands Of persons. willing to drink. ten
q thousands willing to sell liquor. and
thousands willing to make alcohol. We
cannot attack by law human habits which
are not condemned generally on motal
grounds. -"
We don't suppose it will do mush good
70 broadcast these sentiments throughout
this nation, but they are sentiments TO
which HUNDREDS Of Thousands of our citizens
readily turn responsive ear. 1t is beeom-
ing increasingly evident that the noble ex-
pertinent" has led US far astray from the
right course. II we can pick our way back
70 the smooth road through the maze we
entered back in 1920 we may be able to
reclaim the nation. As it stands today we're
hopslsssly enmeshed in something that has
grown too rapidly for its proposers to handle.
This government has no chance Of snfore-
inx prohibition now. The sooner q form,
Of liuuor control that will win some respect
from the citizenry is promulgated the better
off we will be.
