In making this comment we do not mean to convey the con- clusion that it will receive one hundred per cent endorsement. However, the change that has come in the views of the great body of our entrepreneurs is some thing that would have made our great business leaders of a gen. eration ago turn over in their graves.
 "The industry control bill also provides for the expenditures of $3.300. .000,000 on broad program of public works. Of course this outlay would be welcomed in all quarters if the expenditures could be on what is known as self-liq- uidating projects. It is doubtful if the haste involved in putting the extensive plan into effect will per init such a choice of undertakings. Consequently, large part of the outlay will have to be amortized over a period of years through some form of taxation"

Revere, noted New York stock exchange economist. Outstanding among these is the presidents address to the nations on the subject of dis and the analytical pre- sentation of Germany's position by Chancellor Hitler. The realism ard moderation with which the latter presented the case of his nation made most favorable impression in this country. Undoubtedly these two addresses have raised hopes for the success. not only of some adjustment of the armament ques- tion, but also of more favora ble outcome of the economic confer ence which convenes on June 12th in London.

Newspaper Published 133 Years Ago Owned By Local
 Man And Highly Prized

William H. Hurley of Center street claims the unique distinction of having in his possession a four column weekly paper published 133 years ago, or to be more exact, Saturday, June 4, 1900 at Kingston (Ulster county) which interesting ly describes the entombment of George Washington at the bottom of the elevated lawn on the bank of the Potomac.
 The issue, rapidly losing its original color, is a sacred souvenir of the owners. Tn many articles therein, the letter f is substituted for the letter S. A humorous classi- fled advertisement on the back page readily attracts the eye of the reader, announcing, in big Gothic letters, the sale of "a stout, healthy, active Negro Wench."
