in THE FARMERS OWN
HANDS

The farmers of the country
are naturally encouraged by
the fact that the present Ad-
ministration, like the last, is
giving every effort to stabilize
their industry, raise prices. and
broaden and improve markets.
These efforts will doubtless
meet with degree of success.
But the farmer should not take
the attitude that the matter is
now out of his hands. He
should not seek to lean on the
shoulders of the Administra-
ton and await results. AS
President Roosevelt has said,
government farm relief is
frankly experimental and is
but temporary. 1t is an at
tempt to avert crisis and to
carry the farmer through an
exceedingly difficult period.
In the long run, permanent
farm relief must come from the
farmer himself.
1t will come through organi-
cation, through mass effort
in brief, through development
and extension of the coopera-
tive plan. 1t will come through
the buying and selling power
that only collective action can
give. The achievements of
American industry in the past
were largely due to intelligent
cooperation, and business is CO.
operating now in the work of
recovery. The farmer must
adopt the same plan. If he
produces and sells as an indi
vidual only, he will be forever
at the mercy of those who buy
from him. If he joins with his
fellows in a strong, loyalty sup
ported cooperative, he can
meet the middleman on his
own ground.
The cooperative movement
has done fine things. 1t is
withstanding the acid test of
depression with flying colors.
It's future lies entirely in the
hands of the individual farmer.

STANLEY JONES ON THE
CHINESE SITUATION

Manchuria, the Alsace-Lor-
raine of the Far East-this is
the possible tragedy of the mid
die of the twentieth century
and if it will be, it will merge
into the tragedy of the rest of
the century as we'll. This is
the view given by Stanley
Jones in an interview granted
May 1st.
In taking up briefly the out
standing points of the Sino-
Japanese situation he says
like Pearl Buck-that China
will ultimately be victorious.
1t is her patience, the unresist-
ing, eternal patience of her
people, which will finally con-
quer.
AS to progress of Japanese
south of the Great Wall
Look at the invaded region
1t is called a wedge into China.
| have outlined it, it is not a
wedge, it is the opening of
China's mouth and she will
swallow this invader as she has
swallowed every other"
The present clash over the
Chinese Eastern Railway Mr..
Jones fears is ominous, a diff
ficulty which cannot yet. be
guaged. 1t involves tights and
ownership over the railway
which brought China and Rus
STA to serious misunderstand-
ing in 1929, raises the question
Of Manchuria taking over Chi
nese property and to the never
quite settled questions of own
ership and privileges between
Russia and China. Also this
railroad is of exceeding impor-
lance to Russia.
eff the United States recog-
nized the Russian Republics
would such a move help ease
the situation? Yes, because
that would enable the United
States to take friendly counsel
with Russia where now she
stood aloof. And asked furth-
er as to what could be done to
try and end the situation Mr..
Jones replied: Every step pos
sible, consultations with rep
resentatives here, representa-
lions to governments and
friends in both countries; else
between these two peoples of
the Far East deeper and deeper
hatred would be sowed, more
and more difficult situation be
created, one which would en-
danger for years that peace for
the world now struggles.

GOLDSBOROUGH SEES RIS-
ING PRICE LEVEL

A rising price level, Sucn as
followed the discoveries of gold
in South Africa and in the
Klondike, will follow the APP
plication by President RoOse-
welt of the gold revaluation Sec
ton of the administrators
monetary amendments TO the
farm bill, passed by the House
in the opinion of Representa-
tive T. Alan Goldsborough, of
Maryland. Permanent legis-
lation to stabilize the currency
and price levels thus brought
about, Representative Colds
borough declared, should have
the early attention of Con-
gress.
Contrasting the theories
upon which the last and the
present administrations acted
in an endeavor to bring the
country out of the depression,
Mr.. Goldsborough said that the
previous administration had
used various credit agencies,
such as the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation, the Home
Loan Bank act and the gift of
$125, 100000 to the land banks.
Action through these agen-
cies, he stated, tended simply to
transfer private debt to the
public Treasury or to increase
the debt burden, and no process
of this kind could do anything
except accelerate the process
of defiation, it was held.
"The present administra-
tion," he said, recognized
these facts, and by going off
the gold standard and embar-
going gold has lessened the de-
mand for gold and started a
rise in price levels. The adj
.ministration measure now pas
sed, if availed of fully, will give
the country a further rising
price level, such as began in
the late nineties after the dis
coveries of gold in the Klon-
dixie and South Africa and con-
tinued until the after-the-war
collapse of 1921"
Mr.. Goldsborough said he be-
lieves the administration has
in mind permanent legislation
which would stabilize the. cur
rency and price level; that the
example of this country would
be followed by others and that
America and the world are now
definitely headed toward a per-
iod of rehabilitation and great
prosperity. Mr.. Goldsborough
now has pending a bill provid-
ing for a definite basis of gold
revaluation, which has the
united support of farm organi-
cations and of large groups of
business and industrial leaders.

Fire losses in the United
States showed a decided drop
for March as compared with
March, 1882. The estimated
loss was $35, 321,24S a reduc-
ton of 2S.19 per cent. 1t is
also lower by 14.43 per cent
than the figure for any other
March since 1929.
March fire losses in the past
two years have been higher
than the February losses but
this year were 3.66 per cent
less, despite the fact that Feb
ruary was a 2S-day month. 1t
is expected that April will show
even better results.

FARM RELIEF BILL SIGNED
Cut In Mortgage Interest Rates
Will Save Millions To
The Farmer


The Farmer
The ink was scarcely dry on
President Roosevelt's signature
on the farm relief-curTency in
flation bill when it's provisions
for aid to the farmer began to
swing into line.
In this connection President
Roosevelt has made it clear
that the total expenditure in
the public works and recovery
program will be about $5,20O,-
100000 or about a quarter of
the national dabt now out
standing.
Within 60 days Mr.. Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., governor-des-
ignate of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration set up by the bill,
told a nationwide audience.
that nearly 100000 farmers
whose loans total nearly ST.
00O,000,000 will be receiving
relief. Their interest rates
will be cut from 51a per cent to
AZ per cent. Not only will
farmers thus save some $685.
100000 in the next five years,
but the contagious influence of
the reduction is expected to be
felt in reduction of other land
bank rates. New borrowers
from the federal land banks
will also benefit.
A n d simultaneously, in
Washington, Investigations are
beginning to remedy condi-
lions in individual farm indus
tries. Mr.. Henry A. Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture, set
his staff Immediately to work
studying the distress in the
dairy industry, which seems
worst in Chicago, but which is
acute in many other parts of
the country, New England in
Guided. Likewise, spokesman
for the wheat and cotton in
dustries are converging on
Washington, and Immediately
will begin series of prelimi-
nary conversations to see how
the price-raising provisions of
the bill can be brought into
operation.
Never before in American
peace-time history has such
sweeping power for construc-
tive Improvement been con-
centrated in Administration
hands. In three respects, the
omnibus bill signed Friday
confers amazing and unpreced-
ented power.
First, it provides close con-
troll over agricultural produc-
ton and marketing in order to
reestablish an equitable price
level, maintain it, and see that
the farmer gets the benefit
from it.
Second, the bill provides for
the refinancing of billions of
dollars of agricultural debts on
a lower interest basis, with i'm
mediate and tangible relief to
the hard-pressed farm debtor.
Finally, in the imitation rid
er, the bill gives the President
authority to initiate the curren-
cy of the United States in three
respects: by an increase of
Federal Reserve credit to the
amount of $3,0OO,0OO,OOO, by
issuance of an equal amount of
new currency, and by reduction
of the gold content of the dol
lar as much as so per cent.

NEW GAS REFRIGERATOR
Dover Gas Company to Have the
Distribution of the EIectrolux

The new air-cooled gas refriger-
ator recently developed by the
Electrolux Laboratories will be dis

Gas Light Company, it was an
nounced at the company offices to-
day. Special credit plans are now
being devised so that no home with
gas outlets need be without auto
matte refrigeration during the
coming summer, the announcement
stated. According to A. L. Lead

the air-cooled refrigerator is the
most important development in do
mestic refrigeration in the past
five years. BY doing away with
the use of running water in the op-
Grafton of the gas refrigerator, an
important part of the operating
cost is wiped out. A number of
other important developments have
been Incorporated in the new gas
refrigerator, including two

can be de-frosted without stopping
the cooling process. The nonstop
de-frosting is accomplished by a
simple twist of the temperature
dial, which has five different var
iations. There is also a trigger
device on each ice tray to facilitate
easy removal when ice cubes are
needed. Like the previous water

unit has no moving parts and the
operation is completely silent. The

told Donald the next day, and cas-
uaIly explained that she wanted a
change, he, too, cordially agreed
with her-and so Beth Raynor
went. and left Donald free for pro-
motion.
Toward the end Of September,
when the summer school ended,
Donald Blake got into his motor
car and with a word to Mr.. and
Mrs. Raynor, started for Beth's
mountain retreat.
Beth was walking in the woods
when the trees were flaming with
the first frost touch. She had in a
way enjoyed the summer, though
she had missed her parents, and
she had cruelty missed Donald.
Donald had already saved the
money for their house, and the first
years living expenses had been
planned with the thriftiness which
had been a birthright Had Mrs.
Bleak really spoken the truth or
was it only a woman's silly gossip?
1t was then that Donald appeared
and took Beth in his arms. 1--WE
want you at home" he told her
gravely, and when at last she had
taken farewell of her aunt, and they
mOtored down the mountain roads
towards home, he told how much
he had missed her.
When they reached the town.
Donald insisted on driving her
through the business center, and
suddenly he pointed to a new tail
brick block that had grown dur
ing her absence. "My offices are up
there" he told her. During the
summer, ! decided that / could do
better alone, and my office is now

was the prettiest new bungalow,
waiting for the finishing touches
and Beth's opinion.
AS for Beth's duty-it seems to
be entirely in her own home and
that of her parents, while young
