 IS IN SESSION American Delegation Pre- pares Topics for Re-
 vised Agenda

LONDON, July 10.-Winding up the present phase of the World Economic Conference by July 26 has been tentatively decided upon by the Steering Committee.
 It is understood in usually well informed sources that the barley is still in deadlock over currency stabilization. Many leading dele gates frankly asserted it's continu- ance under present circumstances is useless.
 The Americans h however are fighting strenuously to keep the conclave at work.
 Meeting Today
 At meeting being held today of the Steering Committee, it will be decided what subjects should be included in the revised agenda for the Conference
 The Steering Committee has al ready decided to eliminate discus sion of subsidies and commercial policies including tariffs and quo- tas.
 Gold Bloc Bobs Up
 The Committee however has been unable to decide whether monetary questions, which the Eu- ropean gold bloc say cannot be dealt with until stabilization is realized, has asked the Drafting Committee to consider this matter and report to the Steering Com mittee tomorrow.
 Indefinite Adjournment
 When the present session of the conference ends, it will be adjourn ed for an indefinite period, per- haps two months Meantime the Conference will complete such work as is possible in view of the disa- greement between the gold bloc and the non-gold countries.
 Committees are to be appointed to prepare for work when the con- ference resumes next autumn

AMERICAN PROGRAM

LONDON, July 10.-Am e i c n Secretary of State Cordell Hull said last Saturday afternoon that numerous topics including the "war-breeding trade practice meth ods" are still open for discussion by the World Economic Confer ence. He urged the delegates to surmount the obstacles in their path.
 The American chief delegate is now regarded ~as the leader of the barley since he saved it last Thurs day from adjournment.
 To Go Ahead
 Secretary Hull said he had con- ferred with heads of many delega- tions and was confident that the majority favored going ahead with the conference.
 The American Sc Secretary said questions which should be consid- cred are .'tprice levels, credit pol icy, innumerable prohibitions and restrictions, stra n gling mutually profitable trade transactions, re- taliations and countless other war breeding trade practices and meth OdS."

Obviously, what was useful and me-
chanically possible in time Of war was

Of course, the end Is not yet-on the

In the present system, and 26,893 miles
Of routes are represented In the tie-up.
BY 1948, it may be presumed, these
figures will have reached astronomical
extremes.
OF course, the continued prosperity
OF the service depends upon continued,
II not upon increased, public support.
The more general recognition Of the
utilitarian worth Of the system is
eminently to be desired. 1t Is right

another to visit the markets. Neither

Last Fall some nasty incidents de-
veloped through an attempt to prohibit

not allow that to happen again"
1T would hurt the city dweller, who
is interested in the farmers plight and
anxious to help him." says the Eureka
(Calif) Humboldt Times. while the
Rutland Herald advises that "the worst
thing that could happen is the loss of

while adding that there is danger Of
an outright break between the farm
population and the rest of the country"
Referring to last years strike, the Okla

Iowa, less than one-fourth of the farm

The Airmail.

Doubtless the most important social
Significance of the development OF air
transport has been that OF the air
mail. The fifteenth anniversary OF the
beginning of that service very properly
is an occasion of note. Washington
has particular interest in the subject
because it was from the Capital to New
York via Philadelphia that the first
mail flight was made May Is. 1918, and
it was Washington man, Lieut.. James
c. Edgerton. who piloted the plane.
The postal possibilities Of aviation,
naturally. were apparent from the
earliest period Of experimentation. A
classic example Of the pragmatic value
of the dispatch of letters by aerial car
riers was that of the siege of Paris. in
1870. when balloons sent up from within
the beleasuered city bore thousands OF
messages over the heads of the enemy
to safe ground. from where they were

Brownlow tells a timely story OF a
round-table conference on gold held not
long ago at the big college on the Mid
way endowed by John D. Rockefeller.
The university authorities thought they
were inviting as leader of the round
table a celebrated Yale economist, who

first term in the State legislature He
hadn't thought it strange that the
round table wanted to hear from fell

try, wherein is the biggest gold mine in
the world-the famous Homestake,
shares of which recently scared to 200.
The Dakotan led the conference with
astonishing skill. He wasn't so hot on

was about to take off at Columbus air

Should Help Anthracite.

From the scranton Times.
When President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Bennett of Canada get to-
gether, which they did last week, to
talk over conditions as they affect not
only the world but in particular this
country and the Dominion, our inter-
est here in the anthracite region is
quickened. Following the conference it
was announced: I'VE have agreed to
tegin a search for means to increase
the exchange of commodities between
our two countries"
Anthracite was over many years one
Of the chief imports from this country
into Canada. The Dominion was about
the third largest market for our coal.
In recent years the demand has not
been SO great in Canada for Penn
sylvaia anthracite. There are definite
reasons for this-the high price and
the resentment over the tariff which
was coupled with call on Canadians to
Buy British" When our Government
boosted the tariff on Canadian gooos
Canada hit back by shooting up the
tariff on American goods being sent into
the Dominion. This included antnraciue,
helping to give Welsh coal an edge on
price. We still sell a considerable
quantity of anthracite in Canada, but
not as much as we should, so that any
movement to increase the exchange Of
commodities between Canada and the
United States should as a matter of
course help the anthracite region.
Generally speaking, Canada has been
the best market for American goods
even In spite Of the high tariff. We
believe that this continues to be true.
There is every reason in the world why
there should be reciprocity between the
Dominion and this country. Incident
ally, we might mention that our tariff
wall forced a number of American
manufacturers to build plants in Can.

Smith ices Net Choose to Run.

Leaving nothing to be imagined IN

q candidate for the mayoralty, that he
will not accept any nomination foI

compulsion or persuasion that can

The Sales Tax Again.

President Roosevelt, it is said, has
become convinced that manufactur-
ers' sales tax will be the least burden
some and the most efficient method OF
raising additional revenue needed to
finance the 3co,ooo,oo0 public works
progrem. The details of the proposed
tax have not been announced. The
exemptions from the tax and the rate
are still to be definitely stated. 1t is
reported that an effort will be made
to divest the tax of the sales tax
name; that it is to be called re
employment tax" Having decided that
the manufacturers sales tax is wise,
why seek to camoufage it? 1t Is true
that the President in the past has op-
posed the tax and that many OF the
Democrats in Congress could not be
brought to vote for it. No tax Is pop
ular but some taxes are less burden
some, more easily levied and surer OF
producing governmental income than
:thers. The sales tax is one of these.
e places the burden on those who
spend the most Undoubtedly it will
be so drafted-as it was in the revenue
bill reported to the House in the last
Congress-as not to place burdens Oil
food and cheap clothing.
The administration might well have
gone to a manufacturers excise tax
similar to that offered by the Demo-
cratic Ways and Means Committee to
the House last year in its efforts to
balance the Government budget. BY
30 doing the purchasing power OF hun
dreds Of thousands of Government
workers would not have been so drasti-
cally reduced and other thousands
would not have been forced into the
ranks of the unemployed. But that
Is water over the dam. The important
matter today is that the administra-
ton has come to the conclusion-pro-
vided the reports are correct-that a
manufacturers sales tax Is a sound
method of taxation. No one would
advocate levying tax merely because
1t was a sound method. No tax should
be levied unless additional revenue for
Government is really needed. The ad-
ministration may be congratulated
upon being willing to change its posi-
tion on this matter of sales tax
when convinced that it is wise to do so.
Democratic congressional leaders ex-
pect that they will be successful in
bringing about the passage Of the sales
tax law in connection with the public
works and industries bill. Indeed,
months ago they expressed the belief
that if the President would recommend
such a tax for the purpose of balancing
the budget it could be passed. Last
Winter, however, their suggestion for
such legislation was turned down by
the incoming administration.
The reluctance of the Democratic
national administration to come to a
sales tax for the purposes of needed
revenue has been all the more remark
Sble in view of the number Of politi-
cally Democratic States that have
hdopted such tax. One Of the latest
0f these was New York, which faced
p heavy deficit and needed more
revenue.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

It is always question In the latitude
of the National Capital, whether one
gains anything by rushing seeds into
the ground at the first available op-
portunity.
Yet it is such a temptation.
Along In April usually come bright.
warm days, which seem to beckon the
home gardener outdoors. especially with
| packets of seeds in his hand.
Nothing is more inert. in this world,
than flower seed in a packet.
1t seems more worthless than a
| phonograph record on a shelf.
| The temptation to plant as early as
possible is one which the amateur
wrestles with every Spring. and here
/ again experience often counts for little.
| II \
Yes, one is fully aware that q very
heavy rain, a few days after planting,
may wash out every single seed.
| But maybe it will not rain this year!
! One recalls, rather dismally, how a
packet OF California wild flower seed
had been planted on slope, and how
one Of the heaviest rains on record
had washed out and away every particle
of seed.
One recalls zinnia seedlings which
turned yellow from too much water,
CoiIpHicu Will wv Co!u WedtucI, ScF-
eral years ago.
One desires to get busy however, and
one does.
Then. just after everything seems to
be getting of to grand start. along
| comes spell OF rainy, clammy weather,
| which results in more or less general
destruction.
1t is extremely difficult. when the
first warm days arrive. to resist the
| lure to do some real intensive garden
work, but experience in these parts
surely proves that April is too early.
| Even May may be too early for real
planting results, If you are a timid
| gardener.
And there is the lawn, too.
How straggly it grows, in q long
continued rainy spell!
! Here is where the lazy gardener rues
his laziness, because If he had got out
with the mower when he should, there
would be nothing to do now.
As it is, the grass is so long that 1t
is going to be dificult to push the
mower through it.
One given to moralizing might think
that this is the way it always Is. that
things put off are not just put of.
When one puts them OF, one piles
them up.
To cut a lawn during a rain, or even
during a rainy spell. is not quite as
charming as some seem to think We
refer to these queer folk who invari-
ably get out the mower after a shower,
| not before it,
This seems to be habit with some:
| perhaps they read somewhere that the
resulting clippings would not wither
and cause the lawn to look faded
| Whatever the reason may be. those
addicted to this habit love to wait
until afterward.
II the lawn mower is brand-new, then
| SO much the better.
There is nothing person Of this type
| loves more than to escort a shiny now
er through nice wet grass. SO that the
! blades will at once start to take on
an accumulation of rust.
| He has another neat trick to play on
| an unSuSpecting mower.
| He leaves it out in the yard especially
if there appears to be any chance what
ever of rainfall during the night.
| This treatment is guaranteed to make
man out Of any lawn mower, he says.
