FOREST ARMY
MEN DESERT.

SACRAMENTO, July %. ,W.P}-
Pining for the hum of the subway
and the roar of the elevated, ap-
proximately 125 New York youths
whom benevolent government
tried to care for in the great out
doors were hitchhiking back to the
Bowery today.
When the youths left the Civil
ian Conservation Corps camp at
Bear River, Yuba county, the ac-
ton was the first wholesale deSer-
ton among c. c. c. camps of the
west.
StragglerS have gone A. w. o. l..
however, in increasing numbers, it
was charged here by relief heads
who feared they would be expected
to care for the deserters. Former
desertions were minimized by army
headquarters at the Presidio.
The army has no authority to
force the 125 youngsters to return
to camp, where they are fed and
receive ST. a day each under PreSi-
dent Roosevelt's reforestation army
plan.
Regional army headquarters sent
trucks out today, however, to re-
turn those of the 125 who might
have changed their minds around
the breakfast hour.
1t was asserted that a few ring
leaders "bullied and threatened
with beatings" those who would not
desert, thus intimidating many.

FERENCE:
MAY REOPEN
Opinion Held That War Debts
Problem May Rtassemble Lon
don Delegations.
BY HARRY FLORY

CAhtCu AiCSS otdii correspondent
LONDON, July 28.-The geolo-
gical museum was handed back to
the fossils today as delegates to the
world economic conference depart
ed for home, leaving behind the
remnants of eight tons of docu-
mentS issued by the secretariat dur
ing their As day visit.
Speculation as to the future, par
ticularly as to the possibility that
the recess taken yesterday because
of the long deadlock on currency
problems, might mark the final
breakup, was given a new turn.
1t was suggested authoritatively
that the World war debt negotia-
tions impending at Washington
early this fall might be made the
occasion for conference of rep
resentatives of leading powers that
would amount to a tabloid econom-
ic conference.
These representatives could de-
eide either to reconvene the con-
ference or to abandon it.
BY autumn it was believed the
currency situation might be clari-
fled, either by hardening of the
level of value of the American dol
lar or by lesSening of the rigid
attitude of the gold standard ma
tions.
Cordell Hull, secretary of state
and chief American delegate, may
take occasion around the time of
the debt negotiations to initiate i'm
portant tariff reduction negotia-
tions, proposing a series of direct
agreements between two nations, or
general agreements among a num-
Der of nations.
Wheat Men Quit
The conferences failure to reach
any decisions whatsoever was COM
plete. The wheat negotiatorS, last
to give up, decided to recess their
own efforts to atree to world wheat
control until August 81.
What may emerge as the most
important positive result of the
conference was announced as the
final plenary session ended-an
agreement among the units of the
British Empire to maintain stable
currency among each other and
work for higher prices for commo-
ditieS.
The one note of hope was Of
fered by President Roosevelt's part
ing message, in which he insisted
that the conference was not fail
ure and was not dead.
Today'S London newspapers,
though they agreed in calling the
conference a failure in fact, re-
flected President Roosevelt's
thought that indirectly it had done
good.

The Danger of Catch Phrases.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

In the effort to make great national prob
 ems ineligible to the vast number of persons who share in the governing process, there has been a tendency to oversmplify many intricate matters. This has led to the assumption among large num- bers that problems are fundamentally simple, and that neatly turned catch phrase is answer to many complex question. But, in fact most of the political and economic issues of time are Iunimagnably complex and no possible procedure can make them simple as to be accurately epitom lized in phrase
 Such phrase is the "gold standard" Its pri- mary meaning is simple, to be sure. But within the framework of the gold standard we can pursue in flation or deflation We can so manipulate foreign exchange that the gold standard becomes mere shibboleth and really imperative. In recent years the development of short-term credits in interna- tional finance has totally changed the function of gold movements, and the vital question is no longer whether to maintain the gold standard, but what policies to pursue within the limits of the gold standard.
 Similarly we find Socialism" much -misused word One has but to shout Socialism and a worthy proposal is dscredited. Yet there was time, not many decades ago, when the chief aim of Socialism in America the achievement of the ten-hour day. We have accepted this and gone to an eight-hour day, but do not admit being Socialists What many Socialists ask for will be granted tomorrow and we still will not accept the word. It is case of using term to express our fears and not ideas
 In like manner initiation" has come to be buga- boo. Yet any policy of government respecting rency and credit tends to promote either imitation or deflaton We consider both undesirable, but there lis alternative but to follow of them The trea1 porblemsis the precise method and degree of Imitation want. single word is inadequate here to express genuine idea, for the subject is too complex
 Buy American is phrase that has come sud- denly into vogue. Yet it is another simpcaton, and has no logical foundation in econ omics It expresses the dim yearnng of Americans to restore their national well-being but does not properly express plausible and workable economic program.
 All of these are catch words and they more likely to confuse thinking than to carify it. If we going to deal with important and complex problems we must be prepared to do some close thinking and patient explaining. Catch words are rarely useful, save to demagogues, whose purpose is to confuse rather than to enlighten

Sell Harder!
Seattle Times.)

A Middle Western Chamber of Commerce recent to Seattle business men who wondering just how they should deal with this particularly in national affairs
 It sent out ten men, each with $10 instructed to buy a small specific article but also to purchase anything else that clerks suggested during their visit to the stores. At the end of the day they re- turned with $9460 in cash Ten salesmen had pass ed up opportunity to transact business in that amount.
 One only wonder whether this situation is not rather general all the country today How many sales people now licked" by the slow of business to such extent that they actually permit customer to get out of the store without making real effort to ascertain whether he is interested in merchandise other than that for which he asks?
 Isn't this somewhat the attitude of the business motion to the limit and then more? His policy can be explained only by the assumption that he considers the public simply will not purchase his product no matter how excellent its quality how attractive the price at which it is quoted.
 Yet during the Christmas shopping period, when Santa Claus was providing the traditional urge to buy, stores sold so much goods that in some cities airpanes had to be employed to rush in stock after shelves had become depleted Is Santa Claus a better salesman than the trained business executive Tor was the pre-Christmas buying due to the fact that the holiday spirit the job while many "a trained executive is merely at his desk?

VOTING PERCENTAGE HIGH.

The Territorial vote last November 14202 was the highest ever cast in Alaskas history although the population figure probably not quite as large as in other election years Census figures for 1880 show the total population above 21 years of age, exclusive of foreigners of the Territory to be about 325O0 Thus approximately A per cent. of those qualified by age to vote went to the polls
 Probably the actual proportion of the vote cast to the number legally qualified to vote was con- siderably larger than that Of the 22,599 white 21 years or over 9952 were foreign born and only 6,265 were naturalized And of 1922 Indians or Eskimos in the same age class, a very large percentage do not possess necessary legal qualifications for voting Thus the precentage of the vote in November was probably nearer 65 than 45
 This is clear evidence of the interest taken by all Alaskans in political affairs and is highly grati- lying It shows that voters alive to the issues laid before them, and informed themselves not only about the several candidates for office but Of the positions taken by the parties they represented on those issues
 The interest manifested at the polls will continue the victors-the Democrats in this instance, go into office and translate their promises into per- formance. If they keep their pledges, in so far as their power makes it possible there is no reason to doubt that succeeding elections will find them returned to power. If they fail, through neglect or indifference to make them good they will pay at the polls in future elections. Interest in political matters, which after all is but interest in Govern ment is the best stimulant known for good govern ment and the most powerful deterrent to inefficient government. It forces parties to bring out the best talent it has, keeps public officers alive to their responsibilities and weeds out incompetents ruth lessy.
 The November vote is healthy sign It augurs well for the future. And in succeeding elections higher percentages of the potential Territorial vote should be cast

 The strained credit situation of late 1881 grew considerably worse during the first two months of 1892 as a result of continued large deposit with drawals and heavy payments of funds to other dis trcts, accompanied by numerous bank failures Borrowings from the Reserve Bank rose to the high est levels in eleven years With the passage of the Glass-Steagan Act and the opening of operations by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in Feb ruary, however, sentiment improved and the decline in deposits and the rate of bank failures moderated This partial improvement was offset by consid- erably larger than usual mid-year withdrawal ot money. Beginning in late July the credit situation became easier, tendency which continued through out the remainder of the year. This improvement was traceable in part to continued large inflow of funds through Treasury expenditures in excess O. collections, and to marked reduction in the ne outflow of funds to other parts of the United State because of commercial transactions In early months of the year this inflow had been offset by loSse through individual and banking transactions9 An other factor of importance in easing credit con ditions during the last half of the year was th

issuance of substantial amounts of new national bank notes secured by Government bonds The inn provement in the banking situation reflected in increase deposits and in increased investments in United States securities
 During December California crude oil output and adjusted lumber production changed little. The value of engineering contracts awarded and build ing permits issued smaller than in November in which month the Golden Gate Bridge contracts were included Flour milling and cement production increased, after seasonal allowance. Expansion in department stores sales from November to December somewhat greater than seasonal but freight carloadngs and nercoasta traffic decreased slightly
 The credit situation became somewhat easier dur ing the five weeks ended January 18, a seasonal reduction in demand for currency having enabled banks to reduce borrowings further. Principal changes in the condition of member banks were the continued decline in loans and increase in time deposits
