This Is sad loss. We, too. have
noticed 1t. as have all persons inter-

Good sweet potatoes ought. indeed,
to be "trifles light As air"
The sort we have been forced to eat
this Winter, however, Is red in color.
stringy in texture. and sweetish In taste.
To any one who was brought up on
the old yellow sort, the present speci-
mems are not sweet potatoes. no matter
what they are called.
Note that We use "sweetish," instead
Of sweet. There is about this yam

The true sweet potato, 1pomaea

Surely there can be little doubt in
any ones mind-or should it be

best potato.
This is particularly true, perhaps, OF
the familiar white potato.

have not been too easy to get). with
adequate baking. plenty of good butter,
and some salt. there is no food which

Selection Of Senator Cordell Hull as
Secretary Of State in the Roosevelt ad-
ministration gives the impression to the
country that the diplomacy Of the
United States will be directed toward
the solution Of the problems of foreign

ponent of low tariff, and is credited
with outstaading ability in dealing with

To the Editor OF The Star:
When Andrew w. Mellon says that
our economic system has not broken
down. he Is not more than half right
The purely mechanical part functions as
well as ever, when there is any business
to be done, but the sociological part Is
woefully out of joint. In fact, the lat
ter has always been very defective. and
We ere belatedly paying for misdeeds
necessity.
Normal life consists Of production,
exchange. and consumption, Of service
exclusively, although much service Is
expended In the making Of goods. Where
each worker Is free to exchange his
own service for that Of others, there
can be no depression; differences In
amount Of service received, Of course,
because ability to serve, varies, but each
gets what he makes. However, there is
no free and equal exchange Of service
in this country.
When, by operation of man-made
laws. many people give continually more
service than they receive in return, the
injustice is not Immediately apparent,
but there is a gradual building up of a
surplus OF service; this surplus Is
evidenced by concentrated titles to
Vi I'LL AlIlOo, alt1lOu&u 8ps
pears to be mostly farm products and
manufactures. This surplus, repre-
senting no service by its new owners, is
balanced by no corresponding surplus
in possession Of workers who made It,
80 the latter can buy back none Of the
surplus.
The surplus Of goods would not be
an insurmountable difficulty II the
workers were still allowed to work for
themselves and exchange service with
their destitute fellows, but such Is not
the case. Landowners Of the country,
considered as a unit, absolutely control
production; not . factory wheel can
turn without consent Of some land
owner. As long as this land-owning
group retains any unused surplus from
previous unearned receipts, it can and
will keep the price Of land relatively

Cathedral In the afternoon, but his
mother was there in his stead and lis
tened to one Of the most impressive
and memorable religious programs ever
heard in the Capital.
But quite aside from these aspects Of
the subject, Mr.. Roosevelt's own appeal
for the help Of Providence. In his in
augural address, is impressive. 1t had
been well known that the new Chief
Executive was q man who had serious
view Of religion and was . practicing
churchman. but that he should 20 d.
rectly seek divine guidance and assist
ance was perhaps unexpected. The very
language he employed was significant:
In this dedication Of . Nation we
humbly ask the blessing Of God. May
He protect each and every one Of us.
May He guide me in the days to come.
Certainly there was ample precedent
for such a petition, but the phrases in
which Mr.. Roosevelt spoke were his
own. It was . personal appeal. He
used the pronoun me" in full con-
sciousness Of its meaning and with
complete intention that it should be 50
understood. He asked the Deity's as
sistance for himself in his endeavors to
discharge his duty as the chosen leader
Of the people In troubled and stressful
times. That action, 1t may be pre-
sumed, will touch the hearts Of mil
lions Of his countrymen.
1t IS freely conceded upon every hand
that the Nation Is at crisis Of its
existence. The new administration has
special obligations In the circumstances.
but the whole people share In them
and must not fail to meet them. With
Gods help, as Mr.. Roosevelt prayed,
they will succeed.

SENATOR HI. BLACK
TO TALK ON FORUM
Sponsor of 5-Day Week Leg
iSIatiOn Will Be Heard
Tomorrow.

In view of the general interest now
being manifested in the proposal to
establish a five-day week in industry,
Senator Hugo L. Black, Democrat, of
Alabama, will speak in the National
Radio Forum tomorrow night. This
program will be heard at 1890 O'Clock,
Eastern standard time. 1t is arranged
by The Washington Star and Is broad
cast over Nationwide network of the
National Broadcasting Co.
Senator Black already has intro
duced bill providing for the five-day
week, and it is said this will have the
Endorsement of the American Fedora
tion of Labor and other labor organi-
cations of standing, in view of the
tact that the tive-day week is expected
in labor circles to generally enhance
the welfare of the workers of the
Nation.
There has been a question in con-
gresSional circles as to whether the
Federal Government Is empowered to
pass five-day week legislation effect
ing all the States. Senator Norris,
chairman of the Judiciary Committee
of the Senate. has appointed a sub
committee which will begin hearings
January S ON the proposed legislation.
Proponents of the proposed legislation
of the flve-day week. of which Sen
ator Black is one, believes that Fed
eral authority should extend over all
industries doing interstate business.
Such legislation might effect those in
dustries and yet could not apply to
industries operating within the borders
of single State.
Coming as it does during the Senate
hearings, and in view of the expert
mentation of the five-day week in typo
graphical unions, Senator Blacks speech
is expected to arouse great interest
throughout the country.

FARLEY ASSA|LS
G.O.P.LAME DUCKS
Declares in Jackson Day Talk
They viii Probably Force
Extra Session.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, January flames A.
Farley, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, tonight said it will
be the strategy of the outgoing Re-
publican administration to force an
extra session of Congress upon Presi-
dent-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt as soon
as he takes Office next March.
Referring to the problems which
await the President-elect in his speech
at the Jackson day dinner Of the Con-
cord Club here, Farley said: Nobody
is smoothing his way for him"
I'VE already have had foretaste in
the events Of the present Congress of
what he has to expect from the oppo-
sition," Farley asserted. The Repub
lican lame ducks have hampered the
work of the Congress and apparently
will compel special session.
"Glaring Example" Cited.
''The most glaring example of the
subordination Of public duty to partisan
sabotage by the holdovers from the po-
litical renovation Of last November is
the failure Of the amendment designed
to put an end to the disastrous expert
ment of national prohibition"
Farley said 1t is really not eXtraor-
dinary that the dying Republican ad-
miniStration should deem it Of price
less political value to force a session of
Congress on President Roosevelt in the
early days of his administration.
such q session is a terror to O weak
fr inH1 h11t
that the Grundy session of 1929 cruel
fed Mr.. Hoover, exposing as 1t did the
poverty of his leadership and his lack
of policy"
Says Duty Transcends Debts.
During his speech the manager Of the
Roosevelt campaign for the presidency
last year asserted the President-elect'S
responsibility to the people of the coun-
try "transcends even the obligations of
gratitude"
He should not be hampered in his
selection of the best men possible for
every Office by the insistence of men to
whom he owes debt OF gratitude ON
particular individuals for particular
places" Farley added.
Other speakers were United States
Senator Millard E. Tydings of Mary
land, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie, Mayor
Howard w. Jackson of Baltimore and
Floyd Gibbons. The meeting was opened
by Robert B. Ennis. president of the
Concord Club, and Howard Bruce,
Democratic national committeeman from
Maryland, was toastmaster.
