Thrift Plum Pudding

Two cups cooked carrots, mashed;
a cup finely chopped suet, 4 cup
sugar, u tsp. salt, 2 slices of dried
bread crumbled, u tsp. cinnamon, Il
tsp. cloves, 2 eggs, beaten; l cup
raisins and citron, chopped; 2 tsp.
baking powder. Mix ingredients in
order given and pour into creased
mold. Steam ~ hours. Serve with
whipped cream or hard sauce.
A Hard Sauce that's Different.
Plum Pudding without hard sauce
is like turkey without dressing-it
just isn't. But there's no reason why
you should stick to the same old
recipe year after year. Add a new
flavor, and your hard sauce becomes
something to start table converse
ton.
Here's a stunt you'll like. Give
your hard sauce spicy, gingery
flavor by adding crumbled ginger
snaps to your favorite recipe. It's
delicious-as in the newly developed
Ginger hard sauce recipe you will
find below.
One-third cup butter, 1 cup pow
dered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, tbsp. hot
water, ii Ginger snaps, crumbled
fine.
Cream butter and sugar. Add va
nilla and hot water and beat until
light and fluffy. Fold in crumbled
ginger snaps.

MR.. ROOSEVELT SHOUD CO.
.'''.'.. OPERATE

Here at the turn OF the year, as the
business of the world hesitates omi-
nously between revival and further
decline, it is scarcely to be wondered
at that impotence mounted against
Governor Roosevelt for. his first re-
fusal of all cooperation with Mr.
Hoover.
The general public has scant inter
est in methods. There is no great love
left for the Hoover Commission" On
the other hand, there can be little con-
fidence that a settlement negotiated
by diplomates would be accepted by
Congress. The word is action
prompt, summary, plenary-and any
one who obstructs or delays is certain
to be visited by popular wrath.
A decision before March is not
within the REIN of probability. The
ultimate fate of the debts must of ne
cessity be left to Mr.. Roosevelt's
judgment. But there is no shadow of
reasonable excuse why the prelimi-
nary task of study and negotiations
should not begin forthwith and an ac-
cord thus made possible soon after
Mr.. Roosevelt takes Office.
Mr.. Roosevelt took a firm stand
against a commission created by Con-
gress, and that is no longer under dis
cussion. What Mr.. Hoover is now urg-
ing upon Mr., Roosevelt is an eXecu-
tive commission to negotiate settle
lnent precisely as would any other
diplomatic agency of the executive.
Following many presidents, the Pres
ident might we'll place upon it Sen
ator or Representative or both. But
the method would be precisely that
urged by Governor Roosevelt, an ex-
ercise of the diplomatic functions of
the Presidency.
The details are unimportant. The
commission could be large or small.
But surely, if the will to cooperate ex-
lists on the Governors part, there can
be no possible excuse for a failure to
adjust the views in issue. There has
been criticism of Mr. Hoover for
supposed lack of tact in communicat-
ing with Congress without first secur-
ing Governor Roosevelt's assent. But
to make tact an excuse for delay in
the present emergency is to reveal
complete blindness to the treasure at
stake.
We have never been greatly I'M
pressed by the arguments which have
stressed the purely financial aspects
of the debts. On the other hand, we
do not see how anyone can fail to be
profoundly impressed by the psychol-
Ogical factors involved. Certainly, at
the earliest possible moment, lies at
the heart of recovery in England and
In Europe. In our judgment, no one
factor would count as heavily in this
direction as the news published from
Washington that Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Roosevelt had struck hands and
would cooperate forthwith in the ne
gotiation of debt settlement.
We hope greatly that the reports
are correct and that Governor Roose-
welt is reconsidering his stand. Every
day, every hour that is lost adds to
the burden of depression under which
the world is staggering. The country
will rightly be slow to forgive any
delay that flows from partisanship or
personal pride.-New York Herald
Tribune. ,.

coast, and wherever possible are buy
ing only British produced goods. The
movement over there has grown to
fine proportions. The other day the
newspapers carried a cable dispatch
that tobasco sauce has been placed on
the blacklist because it has to be i'm
ported. Tobasco-that is, real to-
basco-comes principally from Louis
lana, and it is to be expected that the
Honorable Huey Long will take due
notice of this attack on his sovereign
state.
But why shouldn't British people
spend their money at home and why
shouldn't people in America do the
same thing? The old argument about
the ten per cent of our production
which goes abroad being more impor-
tant than the ninety per cent we use
at home is growing pretty thin. If
the American industries could have
the difference between what they sold
at home in 1929 and what they sold in
1882 most of them would be willing
to forget all about exports. But if
the wishes of the import-bund were
followed we would turn over our great
home market in the expectancy of
getting a market abroad which exists
only in the fertile imaginations of the
gentlemen who are seeking to getim-
ported goods into America at profit
to themselves.
Let US by all means have foreign
trade, but let it be built up not at the
expense of the American producer.
More than fifty per cent of our i'm
ports now come to America duty free.
This talk about tariff wall having
been built around America is all bunk.
Maybe we would be better off if we
had such a wall. At any rate the de-
probation of foreign currency has de-
stroyed what protection the American
producer had, in many lines, and we
need some sort of a barrier until the
world money is stabilized. To say
that this could be brought about by
buying abroad and throwing the rest
of our labor out of jobs, is little too
thick to go down. Outside of the die
hard theoretical free traders, only one
who expected to profit financially by
flooding the country with foreign
goods would advance it.
A paragraph or two from recent
issue of the soundly American Satur-
day Evening Post very tersely sums
up the situation with regard to the
Buy-America movement:
England, France and Germany
have their internal troubles and dis
sensions, but when there is an ex-
ternal threat against their trade or
their prestige, Englishmen line up
shoulder to shoulder for England,
Frenchmen for France, Germans for
Germany. This is as it should be,
for it is the plain duty of every man
to consider his own fireside and his
own country first. European countries
are national to the core where their
own affairs are concerned, and are in
ternationalists solely for national
advantage. Only a mind of sugar.
plum sweetness could arrive at diff
ferent conclusion on surveying the
European scene.
america must tighten her lines,
not by way of reprisal but for self
protection. Europe has made the
game; two can play it. Think Amer
lea, buy America"

FOREIGN, RAIL
GROUPS UNDER
PRESSURE
By MUNROE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Nov. % G.N.SJ.
The bond market was again
mildly reac mary in the forepart
of today's session, with pressure
centered largely in the foreign
and rail groups. y,
Renewed weakness in sterling
led to further selling of the United
Kingdom 5las which declined ia
points to 1o0b. Belgium 61as
dipped " to 10o1s; German 51as
were off "a at 4S; while other
European government and indus.
trial obligations were heavy in
tone.
Rails Under Pressure
Rail bonds, particularly those
of Second-grade caliber, were un-
der scattered pressure despite the
favorable car-loadings report and
the improved tenor of rail earn
ings. Baltimore and Ohio 4hs
of 80 we're hammered down to

SUPPORT SEEN
IN CURB LIST
DECLINE
By THEODORE KosLow

NEW YORK, Nov. % <-.N.S0.
The curb market was disposed
to favor the downside in gen
orally listless trading today, al
though the majority of active
trading favorites encountered
good scale-down support as
previous lows on the move were
approached.
The ability of the list to hold
as well as it did through the
first half of the session, in the
face of renewed weakness in
sterling and the general prepon-
derance of bearishness in Specu-
lative quarters, was regarded as
definitely encouraging. With the
market in a so-called critical posi-
ton, interests committed to the
bull side deemed it more or less
essential that support be given
at these levels. A breakaway on
the side of decline would un-
doubtedly bring in heavy out
side liquidation.
Bond and Share Says
Electric Bond and Share sagged
to a new low on the movement
at 202s, off 5s, although it sub
sequently firmed to around its
previous close. American Gas
and Electric dipped more than q
point to 247s, while a number of
the active low-priced issues we're
nominally depressed.
The, Cities Service group de-
veloped good resistance powers
around recent low points, the
common holding unchanged at
3, and the S per cent debentures
of so were off 1s at 3724.
Oils Irregular
Oils were irregular, with
Humble off a point at A, and
Standard of Indiana down % at
22A, as against a fractional up
turn in Gulf to 1913.
AluminumS was a reactionary
feature in the speciality section,
showing a los of Ia points at
4534.

benture 5s we're firm in the bond
division, with an advance of 20
