Among the memoranda await
ing President Roosevelt's atten-
ton, once he gets moment from
the dizzy activities of economic
reconstruction. is "What about
liquor control?"
Administration scouts reported
"a long time back that repeal OF
prohibition would be completed by
December. More imminent prob
lens, however. shouldered tempo
rarily out of consideration the
question of what should follow re-
peal. Now the President is com
ing under increasing pressure to
make some decisions.
Should the old internal revenue
methods of dealing with a licensed
liquor traffic be continued OF
should congress be asked to pass
new legislation Immediately it is
convened in January? Many
changes are suggested.
And what about the saloon? AT
its Chicago convention the demo.
cratic party rather suggested that
was a matter for the states. but il
also declared that states should
take action against return of the
old order.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the leader OF
the party making that declaration
and he will be urged from many
kdirections to make an immediate
appeal for fulfillment of the plat,
form.
Is The more administration off
lcials examine the subject the
lplainer it becomes that a signi
ficant new phase of struggle is JUS
ahead and that the controvers.

was real rather than diplomatic
although by coincidence it had it
diplomatic aspect. His absenc,
flattened out NRA activities s.

LIQUOR CONTROL PROPOSITION
RAPS AT FRANKLIN DIS DOOR

officials close to the White House
have given away no secrets about
the presidents reform plans. They
| Just don't know. In every con-
ference Mr.. Roosevelt has been
full of questions. but this is one
subject on which he has kept his
| opinion almost entirely to HIM
self.
Take Your Choice
Republican close harmony as re-
corded in one days headlines: For
mer Senate Leader Watson urges
republicans to oppose the Roose-
welt policies. Former War Sec
rotary Hurley urges republicans
to support the NRA. Present SEN
ate Leader McNary urges repub-
licans to keep quiet and watch and
wait.
Not all the worries about party
solidarity are on the republican
side. Administrator officials grow
very serious when they contem-
plate the currency debate which
seems inevitable at the January
session of congress. Will it be
humanity possible to draw up q
policy that will go far enough to
satisfy Senator Elmer Thomas and
mot too far to satisfy Senator Car
ter Glass?
Comparing Views
One thing to be remembered
about the New York mayoralty
situation: Tammany is interested
primarily in city, politics. second
arily in New York state politics.
Administration politicians are in
terested primarily in national
lpolitics, secondarilys in state poll
tics. It is Albany that these two
interests overlap, and it is toward
state control that the eyes of
Washington will be directed If and
when Washington openly inter.
venes.

KEEN INTEREST. BY EXPERTS IN
 GENEVA SESSION
Disarmament Subject Look ed at from New Angle
 by Wall Street

NEW YORK, May 8.-Some of Wall Streets leading financial ex- perts express as keen interest in the Disarmament Conference at Geneva as in the forthcoming economic conference in London. r Nationalism, they say can scarce ly end so long as war threatens. They further say it is the threat of war perhaps more than any thing else which makes each nation anxious to make itself economically self-sufficient, thus throttling the flow of trade between nations.
 Counties Are Paid
 France, Germany and Italy, 1t is explained, are paying the farmers huge bounties to grow wheat when this product is produced on large scale in Canada, United States and Argentina and is available on the gentina and is available on the world markets at fraction of a price maintained in those European countries.
 Other Activities
 Other countries are doing the same thing in other commodities and it is the hope that the econ- omic conference delegates can de- wise methods whereby nations will once more sway huge surpluses of

Nenana Ice May Moue Soon; Chem SIougL Ice Does

Ice on the Cinema Slough started moving on May 4, ac- cording to letter received this morning by Robert J. Me Kama from friends in Seward The date on which the Cinema Slough ice breaks is of great interest owing to the fact that the ice in the Nenana River usually moves about eight days later, McKanna said.
 In letter written on May to Juneau, K. Ketzler, of Ne mana stated that it looked as though the breakup would come about the eighth. The weather in Nenana has been damp and cold with a mixture of rain and snow, according to MT. Ketzler.

URBANA, H., May 8.-That joke about the old gray mare isn't what it used to be.
 It has assumed a serious com plexion-involving the whole prob lem of farm prices.
 Prosperity Via. Horses
 The decline of the horse has continued to such an extent. ac- cording to studies made by c, w. Crawford, horse husbandry exper5 at the University of Illinois, that his conclusion is this:
 Restoration Of the 8,500,G00 horses which have disappeared off Ameri- can farms in the last IT years would do more han anything else" to wipe out nder-consump- ton of grains and bring back the 68-cent corn and 4s-cent oats Of 1915.
 If there were 2l,195,000 horses on United States farrls-as Hthere. were in 1915-Crawford says:
 They would eat more oats than are now marketed and 85 per cent of the corn which was shipped out of producing countries in 1882"
 Minimizes Production as Cause
 Crawford discounts the idea that low grain prices are results Of in- creased production.
 Quite the contrary he con- tends We have been producing about the same amount of corn and oats in recent years as we did before the war.
 The 1882 corn crop was larger than usual, but it had been exceed ed four times in the past 20 years and has been equaled three differ ent years in the same period,
 Combined production of corn and oats for the 10-year period 1905-1914 average 3,756,OO0,000 bushels. For the five year period 1928-l932, it averaged 3,803, ,000,OOO bushels-an increase of only A per cent.
 Population Is Partial Offset
 ITO balance this slight increase, we have had a steady rise in pop ulation. The l930 census showed a Is per cent increase over 1920. Therefore it seems we do not have a surplus as far as potential con- sumers are concerned"
 Corn and oats, however, are not eaten directly by people to any great extent, Crawford explains with 85 per cent of the nations corn and 80 per cent of its oats being fed to livestock.
 Consequently" he contends, the coarse grain prices are vitally in- fluenced by livestock production land the latter industry is directly

dependent on meat consumption for the most part"
 Meat, Lard Consumption off
 Per capita consumption of meat and lard in the United States has dropped less than 2 per cent, Craw- ford says, while receipts of dressed poultry at major markets have gained 35 per cent in Il years.
 Therefore cur decrease in con- sumption of coarse grains" he ar gues, must be in other classes of livestock than meat animals
 Numbers of dairy cows have in- creased steadily for years and must be consuming as much or m5.e grain than formerly. This leaves only one class of livestock which may answer the problem.
 This is the horse, which has been replaced by other power to a large extent on many farms"

ing in a flight of American capital out of the country.
 Gold to partial extent, and silver, make a good basis for cur rency and that is why I decided not to let any gold now in the country to go out" said the Presi- dent.
 His Stewardship
 The President went over thor oughly his actions taken in his two months in the White House to emphasize that this resulted in no surrender of power by Congress, rather he delegated himself as an agent for Congress to put the em- ergency program into effect.
 We are working toward defin- ite goal which is to prevent a re- turn of conditions which came very close to destroying what we call modern civilization. The actual ac- complishment of our purpose can not be attained in a day. Our poli- cies are wholly within the purposes of the American Constitutional Government established 150 years, the President said.
 Country Was Dying
 Asserting that two months ago the country was dying by inches today we have reason to believe things are better. Industry mas picked up. Railroads are carrying more freight. Farm prices are bet ter but I am not going to indulge in issuing proclamations over the enthusiastic assurance that we bal lyho ourselves back to prosperity I am going to be honest at all times to the people of this coun- try"
