The consumer can only regard his condition as
helpless because, even if he escapes the present
public service commission he must still wait for the

The courts have made farce of the theory Of
regulation of public utilities.
In theory the utilities are presumed to accept
decent return on their dollars in return for a
monopoly.
In practice the dividends are not paid upon the
actual dollars put into the businesses but upon some
mythical sum that represents good will any increase

The present period Of difficult times demon

necessity to pay their bills.

RECOGNIZE RUSSIA NOW

Russia and China have re-established diplomatic
relations Geneva and Europe happy over it.
Japan is reported angry And what about the
United StatesP We continue to be the only major
power withholding Russian recognition and cutting
off our nose in the process.
More than anything else in foreign affairs, the
United States needs world peace and more trade.
Both of these policies jeopardized by our anti
Russian policy. Both of these desired ends could
be advanced definitely by Russian recognition.
Russia, the largest undeveloped market for Amer
lean goods in the world, wants to do business with
us but finds such purchases increasingly difficult
because of diplomatic barriers.
Russia's peace policy in Manchuria and the
far east. is the same as But because we were
too stiff -necked to join with Russia in our stand
for the peace treaties, Japan encouraged in her
treaty breaking conquest.
Nothing would sober Japanese miltaristS like
American recognition of Russia No other conceiv-
able action either in Washington or Geneva, could
give such strength to the peace treaties.
In such emergency, it is not asking too much
to suggest that President Hoover and Presdent-Eect
Roosevelt cooperate before it is too late.

A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW

ct won't make any difference a hundred years
from now
This bit of homey philosophy you often have
quoted to yourself and others when you were a bit
downhearted over something you had done or pro-
posed to do, and of which you were uncertain.
Just few days ago, hundred-year-old letter
came to light, which may make us realize that the
world probably will rock along and out of its present
depressed status just it has recovered from other
troubles in the past.
French father writing to a friend of the birth Of
a son said:
1.-THE poor infant enters the world in very troubled
times. Hardly seventeen years have passed since
peace restored to Europe and We still suffer
cruelty from the effects Of the war; Who knows if
my son will not day be forced to become the
citizen of republic? 1t makes one shudder -.
II would like to see my son embracing the noble
career of medicine, but quite well that he can
not; one of the heads of the faculty has conf1ded
to me this profession literally is invaded 80"
Just the other day DR.. Alexandra Gueniot, 100
years DID, the son of the Frenchman who wrote that
letter in 1882, was honored by the French Academy
Ct Medicine, and his whimsical, witty paper read on
that occasion rocked the halls with laughter.
