FROM the Agony Column O The
York Times:
Gentleman, American Elk Banker
offers services1 as travelling oompan-
ion Address r. P, Nayarit 80,
Mexico"
The SHIPPER sei2es upon this item
rs one OF profound Importance in
aiding our economic recovery. 1t
opens vistas of new and important
industry: that Of teaching American
ex-bankers the gentle art of hiding
out. There are approximately 5000
closed banks in the United States;
allowing an average minimum Of
five officers to each bank, We find
chat there must be at least 10000
American bankers. Most of these
10000 American bankers will sooner
or later become American ex-bank-
ers, all in headlong flight for Mex
leo and other quiet and secluded
spots.
60 why should not General John
y son include instruction in "scram-
ming" as part of his industrial re-
covery program? Forty thousand
American ex-bankers would require
the employment of at least 10000
instructors in the technique of TAX
ing it on the lam. And poor F. P,
raising his feeble voice from the
fastness of the Mexican deserts,
could re-write his advertisement as
follows:
American Elk b mixer, accom-
plished fugitive, offers his services as
travelling companion to other Amer
lean ex-bankers Has studied the
art Of rapid disappearance under
insult, Hartman, and Sherwood. If
desired, will supply bankers with
blunt knives safe for fake suicides.

Moscow Ball Bearing Plant

Moscow Bearing Plant
The First State Ball Bearing plant
Is now = year old, and Is going like
house sf1re. During the three
quarters Of last year it didn't fulfill
its plan in any respect. But in the
first quarter of 1888, the production
plan was exceeded by II per cent,
output being 81 per cent above the
previous quarter. Production costs
we're cut SO per cent, and labor pro-
ductivity increased as much. This
year output is scheduled to total SIS
million ball bearings, 81 per cent
increase over last year, and casts
are to be lowered 80 per cent. Twelve
types of bearing were made last year,
and this year another twelve new
ones are to be turned out. Tractor
bearings, heretofore imported, are
now being produced there. The plant
has graduated 1900 mechanics. AL
most 80 per cent of all workers at
tend technical courses. This plant
is the largest ball-bearing factory in
the world, in point Of capacity
Tractor and Auto Plants
The great tractor plant at Kharkov,
in the Ukraine, produced its 25,OO0th
tractor at the end of April, after a
year and a half of operations. In
the first "a days of April, it turned
out 1850 machines, as against the
1900 set in its plan. The Stalingrad
plant during this same period pro-
duced 3.241 tractors, as against the
1850 called for in its program, and
was turned out 165-170 daily. Since
Jan. s& has manufactured 11,72O
machines. On May new type OF
machine was to start mass produc-
ton. A report from ChelyablnSk
states that by May Is it was to have
made its first tractor.
The auto industry produced in the
first "A days of April as follows
Stain CAMO) plant in MOSCOW
1854 trucks output, 1886 (plan
Gorky formerly Nizlhni Novgorod,
1854 trucks and cars. and 1,l6o
respectively.
Blind Mechanics
The "Emos" factory in Moscow,
with some 200 workers, produces cleo
trio fans and motors. Though there
are similar plants with a hundred
times as many workers, this one is
unique = all its workers are blind
The Soviet Association of the Blind,
which owns it, is building another
plant to employ thousands of blind
workers.
The Association had sent Is mem
bers to learn at an electrical plant,
together with workers with normal
vision. When they completed their
apprenticeship, they competed sue
cessfully with the other workers, and
are now working at the regular COP
veyor, assembling transformers. An
other interesting test was this: The
"Spaika" artel (handicraft or indus
trial cooperatiVe) put blind worker
named Ginsberg to work on press,
on which during the past ten years
normal workers had turned out an
average OF $500 articles daily, Gins
berg announced himself a shock
worker, with goal of $500 a day,
but during the first month made a
daily average of $4,000,
Such is the Soviet solution for an
other problem practically insoluable
under capitalism. Here blind work
ers beg. sell matches, or make brooms
at a charity lighthouse There
they have their own high schools,
study at the regular universities, are
] taught the usual trades.

LONDON, June 26.-A number Of
European countries at the World
Economic Conference, especially
those still on the gold standard, have
been trying to reach a working
agreement to try to avoid entering
on a policy of initiation as a means of
meeting the threat of American i'm
periahsm to embark on a world
wide dumping campaign.
The French, Italian. Swiss, Dutch
and Belgian delegations have been
holding informal" talks and it is
understood that they have agreed to
try to block all attempts TO engage
in a price raising war
Fear Outbreak of Strike Wave
England also hesitates to meet the
challenge of the dollar to the pound
by introducing further initiation. The
European delegations from the larg-
e. countries know that such a trade
war carried out with deprecated cur
rencies will be. in every sense, a war
Of each against all Instead of the
cooperation" between nations they
have talked 50 much about, the CAPT.
talist powers are ruthlessly proceed
ing TO grab markets from each other
in the struggle for world trade
Aside from the dangers involved
in such free-for-all market strug-
gle the governments Of England,
France. and other states fear the re-
Spouse of the working class to fur
ther drastic beating down of their
already miserable living standards in
the carrying out Of such trade war.
The English make no attempt to con-
ceal their fear that should living
costs arise rapidly as result of fur
ther initiation the workers would i'm
mediately demand and fight for wage
increases and the unemployed would
stormily struggle for an increase in
the dole"
Such a situation carries the threat
of serious political consequences,
leading to sharp accentuation of
the class struggle,

ton and to try to meet the worldwide
price cutting and dumping that the
United States has threatened the
British. French, Italians, Spanish and
many smaller states are discussing

TO try to shut out American products
There have been many instances Of
trade agreements being entered into
that give preferential tariff treat
ment to other nations, while shutting
out with prohibitive tariffs the prod
ucts Of the United States.
Conference Still on the Rocks
AS to the world economic confer
erce itself. it is still hopelessly floun-
dering with very little prospects OF
taking on even the semblance of life
as far as any sort of agreements or
united action is concerned.

Profe Moley, who is RooSevelts

come quickly. 1t is thought that che
conferences the American delegation
holds with other countries are at
tempts to lay basis from which Mo-
ley can try to get agreements that
will fall in line with United States
policy.

JESUS SETS NEW STANDARDS OF
LIVING mark 10:13-2O
By r. w. Young

Golden Text-As ye would that men
should do to you, do ye also to them
likewise. duke 6:3D
Jesus saw in the soul of a little child
the elements of simplicity, faith, humil-
ity, love, innocence that must charc-
terize those who are in the kingdom
of God; so He blessed the little children
and pointed to them as the standard
of worthiness to enter that kingdom.
The rich young ruler had but one
fault-his love of money; but that one
fault kept him out of the kingdom of
God.
Jesus id not condemn wealth, but he
gave vigorous and emphatic warning
of its dangers. The Christian attitude
toward money is trusteeship.

NOTES ON THE TEXT
l. ADULTS REPELLING CHILDREN
(Verses 1916

L. ADULTS REPELLlNG CHILDREN
(Verses 1916
Verse 10. 1t was customary among the
Jews for mothers to ask famous teach
ers to lay their hands on the heads Of
their children and bless them; and these
women who had got good from Jesus
brought their children to him
Verse Ia. When Jesus saw strong men
repelling the mothers with their babes
in their arms He was righteously
ind. grant, moved with indignation. He
is just the same to-day.
Verse IS The kingdom of God be-
longs to those persons who have the
childlike spirit. God reigns in their
hearts and lives in their thoughts.
Verse 16. Even to-day it is hard for
us to keep our hands off Of beautiful
laughing baby. There is something
so divinely attractive about an infant
that our hands almost automatically go
out to them.
II. Christ and The Rich Young Ruler
(Verses 17-22).
Verse II. This going forth into the
way was most interesting for Christ
was leaving Perea to visit Bethany and
Jerusalem for the last time. How an
xious this rich young man was to have
conversation with the Christ. He
wanted to discuss with Him the way
Of life.
Verse 1S. Good" is the emphatic
word in this Scripture. Christ would
fix the young mans gaze on the essen
tial nature of goodness.
Verse 10. Christ did not come to des-
troy the law and the prophets, but that
they might find fulfllment in Him for
they all pointed to His day, and around
Christ the hope of the ancient world
conferred.
Verse 20. No doubt the young man
had observed all of these command
ments in their exterior aspects, but 1t
was very evident he did not understand
their inner meaning.
Verse 81. The blessed Lord was test
ing this young man just as he test us.
The heavenly Father does not want US
to be paupers but when we make riches
our god then He is displeased for we
cannot serve God and mammon.
Verse %. He turned and went away
grived because he did not want to pay
the price.
! Ill. TRUSTING IN RICHES (Verses
23-27)
Verse %. Jesus looked around about
to make sure that He had the attention
| of His auditors. 1t is hard for those
