SHOW WAY TO PRICE STABILITY

The outstanding work which Cor
nell university has done for the
farming industry has frequently
been referred to. This work has
been carried on through the Farm
Economics" department. which is Of
ficially the New York state college
of agriculture. President Roosevelt
has been in close touch with this
work for years, and it was natural
that when he came to put his new
deaP' into effect he should draft for
duty some of the men at Cornell who
had long been studying and thinking
and acting in terms of agriculture.
Two of these men are DR.. George
F. Warren and DR.. Frank A. Pear
son. They are the authors of a re-
Gently issued book entitled Prices"
"a subject which is vastly more
complicated than the average person
imagines. Warren and Pearson
went back even as far as 1889 to
discover the principles which govern.
They show that it is a great mis-
take to suppose that prices can or
should be raised equally all along
the line. For instance, in 1929 the
retail prices of farm products were
reasonable, but the cost of dlstriba-
ton had been boosted so much that
farmers were not getting their fair
share. When the cost of distribu-
ton is once raised, it seems impossi-
BILE to lower it; hence the farmers
suffered much more than other clas-
ses
For instance, Wholesale prices of
all commodities reached an all-time
low in February of this year, when
the index was 81. But prices Of

of 100 per cent for the pre-war lev

per cent of the pre-war level-but
farm prices for that same food were
only 81 per cent.
The raw deal the farmers got is

TREND OF WORLD AFFAIRS
Prepared by
Lucy Meacham ThurstOn

Unity of the world! Radios are
proving it, aviators demonstrating
it, cables, kilograms; attention is
constantly being called to these
facts. Has anyone yet named news
paper headlines as proof of such
oneness? Yet this similariJy-even
of many languages and published in
many lands-is one of the strongest
proofs that the world is one, thru
cooperation of the worlds units,
whose closely drawn ties are thus
demonstrated, has not yet been
worked out. For the last two
weeks headlines have been divided
between Cuba and the MIRA. The
Cuban question is nearing solution.
The NRA Details Implications, sug-
gestions and difficulties will be
headline stuff for many day.
But the Cuban question can be
more definitely presented. For nine
years there have been depression
and social unrest in the island. The
days have been marked by riots,
student reveolts, street fighting and
ident during these years, controlled
by army, police and by his political
henchmen in Congress. This situa-
ton reached it's climax the first week
in August, and into this situation
the newly appointed U. S. Ambassa-
dor Welles. was precipitated. His
immediate and earnest attempts at
meditation were futile. He had adj
vised the resignation of Machado.
The Cubans themselves finally made
resignation imperative - resigna-
tion and flight Machado took ref
uge in Nassau, his family in the
United States
Possibility of the Intervention Of
the United States into Cuban affairs
had been earnestly discussed, here
and in European countries. For
such action the Monroe Doctrine
might be called upon, as well as the
Plat amendment-par of the Gu
ban constitution adopted when Cuba
gained her independence. with the
aid of the United States, and which
recognized the right of the United
States to intervene for the preserva
ton of Cuban ndependence--for the
protection of life, and individual lib
erty. But the Government recalled
that it's last intery ention lasted three
s-1906-1909-it also remem-
bered the questions here and abroad
as to interventions in Nicaragua,
Porto Rico and Haiti. Help thru
become the new slogan. Interven-
ton would have added to Cuba's
economic distress and would have
jeopardized two plans towards
which the Administration looks;
better trade arrangements with
Latin-American neighbors; increase
of commodity prices in the United
States.
A radio message on August 18th
told that the United States would
send warships to Cuba. Another
message on August 14th that such
Intervention was being lescinded.
A provisional President has been
elected, Carlos Manual de Cespedes,
and a working Congress has been
developed; and conferences are be-
ing held in Washington and in Ha-
vana by which the U. S. strives to
fulfill it's obligations under the
Plat Amendment-and not by force.

 CUBAN CABINET HURRYINC HOME
II a d Fled Country After Serving 4 Months iu PrisOn-His Son Impri- sOned One Year

Washington. Aug 17-(UP)-A mild man with blue. twinkling eyes senor Eduardo J. Chibas. was en route to Cuba today to become President De Cespedeg' minister of public works. When last he left the island he was a political refugee who twice had been tailed--now he returns as a cabinet member.
 q wasn't interested in politics" i" Chibas said here, "but my family was. My young son, Eduardo, was student in the University of Hav- ana--tfie first, in fact, to start the university revolt in Havana. Ma chado's police put him in jail. He stayed there a year. For four months Machado's men held me prisoner. first on the Isle of Pines, then in Principe Castle, Havana. 1 was not allowed to communicate with my friends .or even my law yer"
 Nevertheless Chibas' friends were influential enough to obtain his freedom. Again Machado had him arrested. At a second court martial on 'trumped-up" charges Chibas' friends again secured his acquittal.
 Chibas took no more chances. He fled to the United States last fall and has been here sinoe.
