many Turns the Clock Back" Is being
transferred to Toxic, Japan.
"The transfer Of Edgar Ansel Mowrer
to Toxic" says writer of the Man
chester Guardian, makes an I'M
portant breach in the company of for
eien journalists in Berlin-a group OF
correspondents, I should say, more
closely united in attitude and feeling
than has hitherto been found in any
capital during this epoch Of revolution
Mowrer has served the Chicago Daily
News in Germany more than 10 years
and was chairman of the Association
of Foreign Correspondents before Ger
man Chancellor Adolf Hitler came to
power.
From the Nazi viewpoint, there is
more than enough in his book, Ger
many Turns the Clock Back to justify
the demand for the authors removal,
and the unanimous refusal OF the for
eign correspondents to replace him IN
the chair must be reckoned an i'm
portant victory for responsible journal
ism.
There will be no difficulty about q
successor for Mowrer, since the asso-
citation contains an unusual number OF
highly qualified journalists equally In
dependent and belonging to various ma
tionalities. In no other capital since
revolutions began 16 years ago have
press correspondents held together as
in Berlin.

will leave Germany shortly for the

ingly courageous work in Germany dur
ing German Chancellor Adolf Hitler's
rise to power has won for him world
wide recognition, including the Pulitzer
prize for foreign correspondence, and
he will come back to his, homeland for
a richly deserved rest.
After his vacation, Mr.. Mowrer will

LONDON, May 81 Q.N.SO.-
To find a formula for raising COM
modify prices will be one of the
chief tasks Of the London con-
ference, economic experts having
generally agreed that the precipi-
tous fall in prices during the past
three years lies at the root of the
world depression.
There may have been other and
deeper factors which started on
the toboggan, but once the down
ward tendency became definite.
the resulting effect became in
turn a cause Of further disturb
ances and dislocations. leading in
evitably to industrial and agri-
cultural stagnation and wide
spread unemployment.
Before they hit upon a remedy
for this international illness, the
doctors gathered here as eco
nomic practitioners will try to
diagnose the ailment in an ef'
fort to find the causes, but it Is
doubtful J there will be any
agreement on that score.
Some will say that over-produc'
ton was chiefly to blame for price
declines and that by limiting pro
duction, prices will automatically
rise. Another school of economists
think that the problem is more
complex than that, and while rec
ognizing that modern industry Is
inclined to produce more goods
than can conveniently be absorbed
they feel that solution lies in
finding a means of distributing
purchasing power so as to bring
more goods into the hands Of mil
| lions now unable to obtain them

SUPREME COURT
A|DSF|GHT ON
HIGH SALARIES

The Supreme Courts decision
ordering investigation Of bonuses
paid officials of the American To-
bacco Company added impetus to-
day to the congressional drive
against huge salaries paid by
private corporations.
The high courts decision was
regarded as of especial signifi-
cance, since it is the first to be
announced involving the practice
which resulted in enormous earn
ingS by many executives during
boom times.
Probe Aims at "Waste"
While the court held valid a
bylaw adopted by stockholders Of
the tobacco company in 1912 Civ
Sng President George Hill and
five vice presidents a percentage
Of earnings over $8,222,245 a
year, it ordered the New York
Federal District Court to decide
whether the payments have grown
90 large as to constitute waste
and misuse" Of the company's
money.
Under the bylaw, together with
stock purchase advantages, Rich
Ard Reid Rogers, minority stock
holder, claimed President Hill had
received as high as $2,600,000 a
year.
Senator Costigan CD Of Colo
fado, leading the Senate fight on
high salaries, obtained passage Of
d resolution calling upon the Fed
eral Reserve Board, the Power
and Trade Commissions and the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion for information on unusually
Aarge salaries paid corporation
heads.
Senate-House Issue
The issue will be raised again
in a Senate-Ho conference on
the Fletcher bill authorizing the
r. F.. C. to purchase $50, ,000, 900
OF preferred stock in insurance
companies.
While the Senate limited loans
to companies not paying more
than $17,500 a year to any execu-
tive, the House struck out this
provision and left the question in
the discretion of the r. F.. C.
Recognizing the attitude of
Congress, the Finance Corpora
zion promulgated rules requiring
reduction of salaries of corpora
Eons borrowing money from the
Government.
