Der OF Commerce in Paris, Ambassa-
dor Stratus vigorously defended the
American economic policy. "When
we read in the daily press" he de-
clared, "of some nations, whose
friendship we desire and who should
be our friends, that we are grasp
ing, that we are selfish and that we
are pursuing course unfavorable
to world peace and the solution Of
world problems, I think 1t time for
US to argue the unfairness Of such
pronouncements."
President LIE Brun was one Of
those at the dinner.
The European press In most In.
stances criticized the Presidents
stand harshly. But in Berlin the
Nazi organ, Der Angriff, hit the nail
on the head with the statement that
President Roosevelt takes the same
stand as the Nazi government, name
ly, that a healthy domestic economic
system is more important than the
relation Of home currency to foreign.
IMPOSITION of the processing
L tax of 80 cents bushel on
wheat went into effect, and Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wallace let the
public know that he intended to ex-
ercise his powers to prevent sun
reasonable" increases Of retail
prices in it's wake. The Iowa Bak-
ers' association had proposed to
increase bread prices from to s
cents per pound loaf, and Mr.. Wal
lace warned them, calling attention
to his authority. The President of
the Iowa association communicated
with national headquarters of the
American Bakers association and
announced that the projected price
advance would be withheld until
further notice. However, bread
prices in certain cases were adj
yanced in Minneapolis and st. Paul,
in wes;ern Pennsylvania and also
in some other localities.
The internal revenue bureau as
sumed the task Of collecting the
processing tax. Forms for It's en-
forcement were sent out, requiring
returns from approximately $4,000
bakers, 100000 retailers and 1000
millers. The tax applies not only to
wheat entering mills to be ground
into flour, but also to stocks Of
products processed from wheat
held by millers and bakers. Its
purpose. 1t may be recalled. is to
finance wheat acreage reduction.
To finance application Of the
farm act to corn and swine the
farm administration is planning to
put into effect by October 1 a pro-
cessing tax on hogs from which It
is expected $15O,OOO,0OO will be
realized. Secretary Wallace has
suggested that representatives of
the corn and hog producers get to-
gether in the near future and dis
cuss this matter.
A maximum processing tax on
cotton, probably 4 cents, is to be-
come effective on August L, If the

Promising figures

There is q good deal OF encourage
ment in the most recent figures on
employment and payrolls, as released
BY Secretary of Labor Frances Per-
kins. Although Miss Perkins properly
warns US that this is not the time
to throw hats too high in the air" 1t
remains true that an employment
gain of 10000 in the month of
August. accompanied by an increase
OF $l2.ooo,ooo in factory payrolls, can
properly be classed as extremely good
news.
Perhaps the best part Of it is that
payrolls are beginning to increase
faster than employment. That, quite
obviously, means increased purchas-
ing power for the individual man.

The Nationalistic Trend
(The Texas Weekly

The event Of the week, In our
opinion, was the speech Of Secretary
Of Agriculture Wallace before the
Grain Dealers Association at Chi
cago on Wednesday. What he said
about initiation attracted most atten-
ton, but 1t was not the most import
ant part OF his address. His remarks
on that subject were reassuring, con-
sidering that his speech, according
to the dispatches, had been read and
approved by President Roosevelt" But
the circumstance that the President
had approved the speech makes other
parts Of it more important. For
what Secretary Wallace told the grain
men was that the policy Of drastic
acreage reduction and curtailment Of
production Of farm products is being
forced by the continued high tariff
policy Of the United States and in
sistence on collection Of the European
war debts. IT we persist in our high
tariff policy" declared Secretary Wal
lace, or even In a halfway modi-
fication Of it, and at the same time
collect In full the money which Is
owed US abroad. It Will take SUPER
human efforts on the part Of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton year after year to keep down our
acreage to point which will afford
. living price to American farmers"
The secretary said he hopes that
we are merely tidtng over . difficult
situation and that, instead Of retir-
Ing completely from the world mar
ket, our people viii soon come to
their senses sufficiently to be willing
to make rational adjustments IN the
tariff and eventually even In the
policy Of lending money abroad. II We
do not do these things. I know that
We must be prepared to act much
! more radically than any person in
this room u yet prepared to do"
Secretary Wallace said that the at.
titude Of the American people on the
tariff. war debts, and foreign loans
means that No are following . course
of economic nationalism. 'These
three forces mean that for the time
being our psople are profoundly ma
tionalistic." he declared, "and thai

Bothersome Conscience

| OVtUVA 0VA1tV SVlUSCISluVS
That the spirit still can rule tn,
flesh Is amply proved by the littls
story from Fargo which relates tina
transient has confessed to 4 Yves,
Virginia murder because his con.
science bothered him.
For nine years the man lived with
the thought that his hand had caused
the death OF fellow human being
Day and night, perhaps, the men,
DRY was constantly with him.
Finally, 1t became too much. ~
ease the spirit which continually
chided him, it appears, he sought
surcease in confession.
The tendency, while it finds occa-
sional manifestation. Is all too rare.
Considering the numerous crimes OF
which all have knowledge, it would
be blessing indeed II more criminals
would feel this urge.
1t need not apply to murderers
only. If the plunderers of the poor
would confess and repent, how much
better would the world be? II those
who inspire and participate in public
graft and the frequent monetary re-
wards of disagreement would feel
this urge, what q purRinr the body
polite would receive.
II all who have committed offenses
against the people would give their
consciences q chance, there would be
need for little else, for troublesome
conscience should inevitably lead to
repentance and determination to sin
no more.

County Problem, Too

Analysis Of the beer bill by attor.
neys for the state League Of Munich
palities shows that the tax which
cities may levy on the legalized trade
will be only such as may be r,eces-
sary to cover administrative and su-
pervisory costs.
To many this view will be disap-
pointing In view Of the need for q
reduced city tax burden, but it may
be only just because OF the heavy
state taxes which presumably will be
collected.
Nevertheless, some discretion is
permitted to city boards and 1t Is to
be expected that they will exercise
1t. What the cost of supervision and
administration may be Is conjectural,
but plenty should be allowed to cover
It. If we can collect no substantial
taxes from this newly legalized busi-
ness, it should not be permitted to
cost US anything additional.
The suggestion that city licenses
be required within the area covered
by the city police powers is sound.
Places at the edge Of the city should
be under the same restrictions as
those In the town proper.
In this connection it should be
noted that the county commission is
given the power to issue licenses out
side the city's jurisdiction. This, pre-
sumably, viii cover all Of the chick
en- shacks" and similar resorts which
may be found near the limits Of all
North Dakota cities.
These need regulation and SUPER
vision fully as much as places In the
city and the rules for them should
be no less strict. In these days Of
quick transportation they may be
reached almost as easily as places
more centrally located.
It would not be q bad idea for the
city and county fathers to get to-
gether on the whole matter Of reeu.
lation and control, adopt q uniform
policy and agree upon uniform meth
DDS Of enforcement.
