Of production. is major goal Of the
industry for 1888.
A new analysis Of the economies Of
the confectionery business is to be the
dominant theme of the associations S
convention in Chicago June 1928.
One ray of encouragement for the
sales branch Of the industry has come
from latest figures on candy exports,
which for months Jagged behind i'm
ports Of European sweets.
Now exports have recaptured the
lead. Department Of Commerce sta
tistics for March show exports valued
at 100000 against imports valued at
$45, 600 Exports, however. represent
only a fraction Of the industry's sales.

UP TO THE STATES

CONGRESS has made S3,300,OOO!0OO avail
~ able for expenditure of public works to
put men back to work, to increase purchas-
ing power The administration has made
many millions available for federal projects,
and is endeavoring to speed up the actual be-
ginning of construction with these funds.
But larger expenditures will have to be
made in states, counties and municipalities.
They are delaying.
The federal government is anxious to see
this money putting men to work The man
ayers of this great sum of money understand
that this is the vital second half of the emer-
gency recovery program Mass purchasing
power must be added to; and this can be done
by states and municipalities undertaking pub
lie works, hiring the iobless.
Administrator Harold L. Ickes, who is not
pleased at the delay of these smaller subdi-
visions of government in asking for funds, has
made an intelligent move to speed up the
whole program.
He has told the states and the counties and
the cities in effect: You present your prof.
ects. show that they are socially desirable
feasible from an engineering standpoint and
able to be financed under the law and we
will give you an ALLEGATION Immediately
You then will have thirty days to work
out final details and execute contract. If
you do these things, our original ALLEGATION
Will stand. If not, it will be revoked"
This action of the public works admins
tration," Secretary Ickes said, puts it distinct
" up to the states or municipalities who have
desirable public works projects presented to
get busy
They should get busy now, for the success
of this important half of the recovery pro-
gram is at stake.

WHAT MAY THE NEW DEAL
BRING US?

DROBABLY the greatest mistake any one
Il could make these days would be to I'M
derestimate the extent and force of the new
spirit that has swept the country since last
spring.
This spirit finds expression in various ways
in the poisoning of blue eagles in shop
windows, in parades and mass meetings, in
the new air of optimism which appears in the
conversation of ordinary citizens.
These are surface indications only. But
they are like the little ripples and the thin
ble-sized whrlpools that form on the surface
of a deep swift river.
A tremendous tide is in motion under
meath: and the man who forgets that fact is
very likely to get swept away, head over heels
Now this means more than a mere revival
of hope It signalizes a determination to
reform a great many things which need re-
forming. and the one thing that appears GER
tain is that this new force can not be con-
tanned in the old channels, but will if neces-
sary find a totally new way of expressing
itself
A Communist writer in a radical maya
zine remarked the other day that laissez faire
capitalism-the rugged individualism of
sainted memory-is dead as door nail. AS
a result, he asserted, America could do one OF
Just two things; it could turn to Fascism, or
it could go Communist.
These. he said. are the only alternatives
The writer found Fascism far more likely.
Taking what has happened in Europe as
guide. it must be admitted that this radical
viewpoint has much to sustain it. In Rus
STA in Italy, and in Germany the old type of
unrestricted capitalism collapsed, and each
country in turn had to choose between Lenin's
kind of society and ,Mussolinis.
But why take it for granted that the same
thing must happen over here?
It hasn't been proved that there is no other
alternative It certainly has not been proved
that finding such an alternative is too big
task for American intelligence.
It is certain that not one American in
hundred really wants to see either Com
munism or Fascism adopted here.
Isn't it more likely that the new spirit in
this land is too big and too strong to be con-
tanned by the old formulas-that our great
contribution to modern life we'll may be to
find a solution for industrialism's problems
without despotism, without oppression, and
without revolution?

MONDAY SEPT. II. 1893.
CUBA STILL FEARS Us

THE wisdom Of President Roosevelt's nom
Intervention policy in Cuba is becoming
daily more apparent. It now is clear-if there
ever was any doubt about it-thet United
states military interference with internal
Cuban affairs for protection Of American cap
tal interests would have disastrous results
The Argentine note to the United States,
the action Of Mexico in dealing with the revo-
lutonary iunta and rallying Latin America
for a hands-of policy, the anti-intervention
resolution produced in the Peruvian congress.
and statements by officials and newspapers in
many Latin American capitals. are adequate
warning OF the temper Of our neighbors.
A President with less craftsmanship than
Mr. Roosevelt might have seen only our legal
right 10 intervene under the Platt amendment.
But the administration wisely sees the effect
which Intervention would have in injuring our
Latin American diplomatic and trade rela-
lions. in wrecking the coming Montevideo con-
ference. in encouraging japanese and other
imperialism in the far east.
As for Cuban sentiment. it is no secret that
the ll-adwsed visit of Secretary Of Navy
Claude A Swanson had to be called of after
ne entered havana IdIDOI btCduoc lilo llAC
would have been endangered by the hostile
crowds awaiting his landing The people now
are demanding withdrawal of American
bsttleships
Increasing resentment against the United
States featured Sundays celebrations, when
DR. Ramon Grau San Martin became provi-
sional president. Although not as curt as the
popular organizations statements the new
president said IT is the firm desire of the
Cuban people to determine their oxn destiny
That the sentiment against us Is growing
in Cuba. despite the nOninterventon Roose-
welt policy. seems to indicate a serious clip IN
our diplomacy. Apparently Ambassador Weles
has not been allowed or has failed, to give
Cuba the official assurances l. desires and
deserves that the United St9tes Will not inter
fere with its right of self-determination.
Secretary of State CordeH Hull has stated
United states policy in way which can win
the respect of the Cuban people and Latin
America if it is transmitted effectively to
them. He says that the United States Will not
intervene in the sense of modelling with in
teruaI affairs. or to protect American property
interests, but only to guard American lives
if that should become necessary.
To cover with landing troops the evacua-
ton of endangered foreign lives is not inter
vention certainly not tho kind of intervcn-
tion which is feared and hated by Cuba and
Latin America.

THE old theory that it harms child TO
start training him early clings on. 1t
used to be said that no child ought to start
to school until he was 8. Let him build
good body and health
Then he will have foundation for educa-
ton and outstrip the children of ambitious
parents who try to force mental growing.
The latest upset for this view is provided
in the history of identical twins expert
mented with by Miss Myrtle B. McGraw of
Columbia university.
In report to the American Psychological
Association, she tells of taking boy twins when
thew were few days old and training the
weaker one painstakingly, leaving the other TO
grow up normally"
The trained one at year old was diving
around in pool, while the other merely
dawdled At less than year the weaker
twin was started at roller skating, and in
three months he could coast on grade and
steer himself around corners.
The other was daWdling as babies of that
age normally do. The weaker one had COM
plete confidence in himself and would attempt
ANYTHING. The other continued with babyish
things
But wait some may say. This forced"
child will turn out like all prodiges-he will
burn himself out before he grows UP. Prodi-
gies, or child geniuses, do not burn themselves
out They are usually strong physically as
we'll as mentally.
The same human race which approves of
the training of dogs from an early age sooner
or later will realize the possibilities in per-
sstent training of children from the earliest
age

Earache Develops After Infectious Diseases

In a certain number Of cases of
severe infection of the ear af-
ter one of the infectious diseases,
it is possible to avoid operation
by seeing that the patient is
put to bed promptly.
Drops of warm glycerine are put
in the ear and then a small piece
of cotton. A hot water bag may be
applied to ease the pain.
If the eardrum bulges even slight
~, it is we'll to open it promptly,
to prevent mastoiditis, if possible. It
is not a serious operation to cut the
eardrum, because this heals prompt
ly.
1t is important, however, to make
sure that the opening stays open
sufficiently long to permit the in
fictitious material to drain away
Hence the ear must be inspected
every day by the physician
If the temperature does not come
down and if the patient continues
to be severely sick, he is likely to
have an infected mastoid, and the
possibility Of mastoiditis must al
ways be considered.
The only relief for this condition
is surgical operation.

From Now On

BY AUSTIN JAMES
have but one desire, dear Lord,
To live from this day on,
Forgetting sorrows Of the past
Which now are dead and gone.
And from the passing yesterdays
I'd take just this alone,
I'd keep my happy memories,
Hide heartaches meath a stone.
Grim skeletons have haunted me
They've followed night and day,
Pray let me lock them in cell
And throw the key away
For living over once again
The tragedies of life,
Can bring but disappointment and
A lengthening Of strife.
What's done can never be undone.
What's gone is ever gone,
Pray let me look ahead, dear Lord,
And live from this day on.

ADVERTISING-AND RECOVERY

a s business turns upward. the part adver-
Using plays in this recovery scheme is be-

Somebody once said you can't run a de-

As civilization has advanced. human wants

the necessity of today. Desire is something

AS desires have increased the capacity of
the human race to produce has increased in

From it comes prosperity. if business is active,
and misery If business is stagnant.
When a depression comes and people in
whom the desires exist no longer can buy.
then the crash: then the multitude of COM
modities which a people want pile up on the
maker and We have bankruptcy and chaos
Some call it overproduction. It is not. 1t is
simply the inability of the people who want
things to buy them.
That is where We have found ourselves in
the last four years.
So long as there is a slum in a city. so long
as there is an implanted house on prairie,
so long as human beings in this land Of IN
equalized plenty go hungry and ragged and
cold there viii be no such thing as over
production.
Thus it is that only through re-creating
purchasing power 50 desires may be fulfilled
and more desires created. more luxuries be
turned into necessities, can the modern show
go on.
That is what the NRA is all about.

THIS is written from Southwest Harbor, Me-,

and 1Oc for halibut.
Now what you paying, and who gets
the difference?
have run into no business where there is
such spread between producer and consumer,
or where the public is being bilked more out
rageously.
do not pretend to know the answer, but
something is wrong when people in New York
have to pay 15 20 or even 80 cents pound for
fish that are caught and sold on the New Eng
| land coast for less than cents.
! Mackerel have struck the coast in unprece
denied schools. They are so plentiful as to
have spoiled the market. The price has gone
so low that many fishermen won't bother with
them. But are the poor people OF our cltleS
getting any benefit?
Everywhere I go in this country the same
curious paradox presents itself-plenty of food
on the one hand and want on the other.
IN nv Judgment an honest readjustment in
L cludes more than mere boosting Of prices.
We are hamstrung with an inefficient or
crooked distributing system
Somebody has horned in between those who
produce the food and those who need it. That
somebody is doing everything but an economical
! Job.
There is no excuse for paying one crowd so
much and another so little.
The new deal will not accomplish all that it
should if it goes no farther than wages hours,
or even price fixing. Our distributing system
requires a thorough overhauling. If private
business is incapable of making such changes
as are necessary. the government at least must
/ assume the role of adviser.
! Private business has done a good job in GER
tain lines Oil men. for instance, are able to pay
2 cents gallon for crude, turn it into gasoline,
ship it half way across the country and sell it
/ for cents.
nACKERS are able to handle meat for less
L than cents a pound Milk dealers can
bring milk hundreds of miles and put it on
/ your doorstep for or cents quart.
! When it comes to fish and vegetables, not so
good.
! I have seen a farmer deliver beans to
market for l cent pound, and have walked
right in after him to be charged 10.
have seen fish taken out Of boat on one
side Of a wharf for less than cents pound
and sold on the other side for 10.
am we'll aware that it costs money to haul
freight especially of the perishable variety, and
/ that it costs more money to deliver it over the
counter in small lots. but. considering what has
been accomplished in other lines, I am con-
WINGED that the retail price of fish and vegetables
could be reduced greatly through organized, eff
icient management and at the same time give
the producer more money.

danger zone we might as well get our minds
straight on one thing.
The only valid excuse we could have for
landing armed men on Cuban soil would be
to protect American lives and property from
unruly nobs
The kind of government that Cubans set
up is something else again. Landing marines
to keep Americans from being killed is one
thing; landing them to tell the Cubans what
kind Of government to have is sheer meddling.
And that kind Of meddling, as we have at
last begun to discover, simply doesn't pay.
