SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Old Sweet Sol

Old Sweet Song.
Again I long for that old song
Which loudly used to say
That the bananas had gone wrong
And there were none today.
We now have shortages of bread
And beans and sausage meat
And other articles, It's said,
Which we desire to eat.
We wish our economic laws
Would bid those days draw near
When a banana shortage was
The worst we had to fear.

President Cespedes.

Since yesterday Cuba has had new
President, DR.. Carlos Manuel de Ces-
pedes. who succeeds the dethroned and
fugitive Machado. With an American
background Of early education and
several years Of both private and Of
fetal residence in this country, the
man to whose hands the destinies OF
tho island republic have been tenn
porarily entrusted takes Office with the
fullest confidence of the Cuban people,
as we'll as Of the United States Gov
ernment. He is we'll and favorably
known In Washington. where for diff
ferent periods between 1914 and 1922
he was Cuban minister and had inti-
mate contacts with many men still in
official life, including President Roose-
yelt.
The various political and military
elements which jointly precipltated the
ignominious flight of Gen. Machado
ON leave OF absence" were united in
the choice of Dr. Cespedes for the pro-
yisional succession. Although he was
secretary of state for the first year OF
Machado's presidency in 1925 and sub
seouently represented the late admin
istration at successive diplomatic posts
abroad, Dr. Cespedes was never identi-
fed with the tyrannical and corrupt
practices which made the Machado
government feared despised and mis-
trusted, and finally spelled its doom.
The new executive, presumably. will
hold office until the next constitutional
election in 1884.
Experienced, world-minded and cul-
tnred, he brings to the helm at this
grave hour of reconstruction all those
talents for which the situation calls
If Cubas shattered fortunes are capa-
BILE of rehabilitation. after the con-
vulsions and shocks through which
they have just passed, DR.. Cespedes is
we'll equipped to lead his country
toward that goal. The Cubans no
doubt count it a fortuitous circum-
stance that they have president al
ready well intrenched in American
favor, for it is chiefly to the United
States that the island must look for
tangible support in the achievement
of its new destiny. Both President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull have
promptly intimated that aid will be
given Cuba through the earliest pos
sible consummation Of a reciprocal
trade agreement. The administration
signals in particular the intention OF
granting the Cubans more liberal
sugar tariff. Already $3.50, 100000 of
American capital, mainly in sugar, is
invested in Cuba. With the assurance
of more stable political conditions, as
the result Of the annihilation OF the
Machado despotism, our investment
funds in even larger volume should
flow into the island.
Armed intervention in Cuba was i'm
minent last week, President Roosevelt
emphatically states that the dispatch
Of destroyers to Cuban waters for the
protection of American lives involves
no possible question of intervention" >"
This country's whole philosophy about
Cuba is expressible in few words.
We have no wish for anything excep.
the reasonable assurance that the
Cubans are able to maintain stable
and independent government and dis
charge their international obligations.
Once that is demonstrated, the Platt
amendment for all practical purposes,
might as well be scrapped

policy of the United States will be here

Variations in Price Change,

which is part of the talk about man.
aged currency and controlled imitation,
fails to take into account one of the
important elements of the rise and fall
of prices-this being that the prices of
all commodities do not fluctuate in the
same degree or at the same time.
A valuable contribution to the dis
cussions Of managed dollar" and the
restoration Of some so-called ideal level
Of prices by currency manipulation Is
the recent analysis of wholesale COM
modify prices by the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics under the direction Of the
new commissioner, Dr. Isador Lubin.
Taking as the starting point June
784 commodities which make up the
wholesale price index, twenty-seven Of
them increased in price through Feb
ruary, 1888. forty-two of them did not
change, and It's of them decreased in
price. OF this latter group, forty-eight
commodities fell in price by less than
ten per cent and seven Of them by
more than eighty per cent The re-
mainder fell in varying percentages be-
tween twenty and eighty.
Considering the commodities by
groups, we find the following percent

Between June, 1929, and April. 1898,
gas has increased in price by "a per
cent, while electricity has gained o.
per cent.
While the decrease in prices Of all
commodities since June, 1929, has been
3l.7, the tables above show the vast
amount of difference between the de-
creases Of commodity groups, or sub
groups. If the price level were changed
by manipulating the standard of meas
urement Through decreasing the con-
tent Of the gold dollar, for instance)
nothing, of course, would have been
accomplished toward restoring the
balance between those commodities
which have decreased heavily and those
where the fall has been slight. If
We are deluded into raising prices by
shortening the standard of measure
ment, the prices of things that are
higher now than in 1929 would rise by
the same degree as prices of things
that are much lower now than in 1929
If. by changing the standard Of meas
urement, prices Of live stock and poultry
or meats or crude rubber are made
to appear the same as in 1929, the
price of bituminous coal, building ma
terials, food and automobiles, to men,
ton a few, would of course go out Of
sight, even measured by standards Of
1929.
The same thing shown by the tables
above can be shown by any of the
784 commodities. from white potatoes
at Chicago, which have increased in
price from June, 1929. to June, 1898,
by 104 per cent; to bar iron at Pitts
burgh, which has remained the same;
to pepper, dried beans and shellac,
which have fallen 70 per cent. Each of
the commodities, or commodity groups,
has been subject to varying conditions
accounting for changed prices. The
conditions that brought about a ten
per cent decrease in the price of wind
mills are obviously not the same that
entered into the decrease of fifty per
cent in the price of slate roofing
Readjustment Of prices by currency
manipulation merely means continuing
a distorted price structure, with ruina-
ton for those who cannot adjust their
own salaries or earning capacity to
the new level If We are to have COM

Max Learns Something.

n AER twisted AM turned in spots
r. and then grabbed and lugged his
giant adversary around in a test
Of strength in close. 1t was duck coup
for the imaginative Baer, who revelled
in these tests for eight round and was
then ordered to cut loose. He tore into
Camera for fully six minutes and as
the Italian is not as smart, fistically, as
he is touted to be, Max was able to
learn what tactics and blows would
penetrate Primo's high guard.
Baer fits into the Hollywood atmos-
phere. The frivolity and marrymaking
are suited to his temperament. But
no matter how great screen lover he
is. he cannot break into the headlines
unless he performs some outstanding
exploits in the ring.
Baer accepted the film assignment to
play second fiddle to Camera with but
one purpose in mind. He wanted to
learn all he could about the giant who
felled Jack Sharkey with single blow.
He apparently overdid the job, because
rumors are beginning to reach this
country that Camera may not return
to this country next year. The story
started after Primo failed to stop the
waning Paolino Uzcudun in IS rounds
in Rome. A huge assembly of fellow
countrymen attended the fight and be-
fore the dull contest had passed the
halfway mark, boos and jeers could be
heard. They could not understand why
giant fully seven inches taller and
so pounds heavier could not batter his
puny rival into submission with one
blow
