The administrator urged patience and
cooperation with the administration in
its farm policy, insisting that increased
buying power is bound to bring bene-
fits to the farmer.

''the bottom Of present farm unrest" is
to be found in the fact that industrial
prices are ahead of farm prices, john
son observed, You cannot put 100000
men back to work without increasing
industrial costs"
Il do not believe there Is farmer
in this country who would advocate
turning those 1000 900 men back ON
the streets as a method Of reducing
those COSTS" he said.

BY PAUL MALL0N.

THE Melons are heading toward
run-in with the r. F. G.
which might possibly develop
into as interesting a scrap as
Henry Ford is having with Gen.
Johnson.
1t seems officials of the Mellon
banks want to cooperate with the ad-
ministration. but not to the extent
Of issuing their preferred bank sock
to the administration.
Chairman Jesse Jones of the r. F. G.
has been eXerting indirect pressure on
them, but they have been holding of.
They do not want to come down to q
direct issue with the Government and
are trying to find a sensible way out.
They may issue a certain amount of
preferred to their own stockholders
and try to quiet Jones that way.
The question is whether Jones will
be uuieted with anything short OF some
stock in the Mellon banks.
Fear Federal Interference.
The Mellon officials fear If the Gov
eminent gets stock in their banks, 1t
will try to run them. They have VI
sions of Jesse Jones sitting on their
directing bank boards, and hiring and
firing some Of their officials.
That is stretching the poSSibil-
tiles beyond sohdt Jones Gp-
parently has in mind.
The Government hardly will get
enough preferred stock in any bank to
enable it to exert control. Also, 1t
already has plenty OF control now over
national banks in the matter Of ex-
aminationS.

Democrats Really Blue.

The Democratic high command felt
blue about the election results, more so
than the published reports indicated.
The La Guardia result was not such
a blow to Gen. Farley as the combined
results elsewhere. For instance, in
Cleveland he had tried to help the
Democratic mayor, Miller. He tele-
graphed out there during the campaign: ::
"Best wishes for your success" Miller
was defeated.
The prohibition returns in North and
South Carolina were similarly diSap-
pointing because he had visited the
States and urged repeal only few days
before the voting.
esH' Like COolidge's Effort.
The lesson behind that situation is
the same one learned by every national
administration in modern politics.
Invariably the voters go counter to
personal off-year appeals from the party
in power. You will recall President
wilson's appeal for a Democratic Con-
sfess: MI Coolidge's futile effort to help
his fsisnd Butler in Massachusetts; Mr..
Hoovers attempt to save Tennessee
Congressman close to him.
In this current case, the Democratic
master minds are thanking their stars
that Farley went out no further on a
limb than he did Also, that Mr.
Roosevelt wisely kept himself out Of
the picture as much as possible.
