THE WEEKLY PAPER

Turning from city newspapers to smal-town press
exchanges that the editors desk like stepping
from the sums full of vice. an odfashioned garden
sweet with lavender and thyme and the scent of perennial
flowers says the editor of The Christian Science Monitor
He goes to say the pages of big daes so full of
murder thievery, immortality and seshness that bet
ter is obscred by these glazing shattengs of the
Decaogue He puts the paper aside with feeling
of depression and heaache that the world is full
terrible things Then, picking up the papers that record
the happenings of the little towns around u.s. one gains
renewed faith in fe Here forth only that which
upfts communicable activities of the business men,
the church items the happy social gatherings the people
the marriages. birth and deaths farmers items and all
the thousand and daily that make up the
simple annals of the great people, who are really
the foundation Of this broad country of ours.

And so have comprehensive programs by federal

their affairs were mismanaged. they
were shut out from opportunities OF
self-improvement. In effect they were
reduced to the status Of helpless
paupers. Now they are face to face
with the ultimate problem Of survival.
And the Federal Government does
not pretend to be Indifferent to their
plight. The difIiculty is that of per-
suading Congress to do its duty In
the circumstances.
The Howard bill is not a
radical measure. Iii point Of fact, 1t
it much more conservative than many
other examples of emergency recovery
legislation. 1t aims at nothing more
than the establishment of q workable
machinery to assist the Indians them
selves in their endeavor to preserve
their existence. 1t is not a dole.
not an endowment. Rather, 1t is a
scientific plan for the funding of
desirable cooperative enterprises in
tended to furnish self-support for the
Indian population. 1t would serve
to restore to them the opportunities
which their white brothers always
have had. The principle Of its in
tent is to stimulate the Indians toward
self-reliance, self-discipline, self-con-
troll and -suficiency. There is
no intelligent opposition to the meas
ure. On the contrary, all parties
agree that 1t is the most comprehen-
sive, sound and practical Indian pro-
gram offered in generations. The
present stalemate results from de-
fection of interest to causes supposed
to have more political importance.
But meanwhile the Indians are
perishing-not for physical sustenance
alone, but also for that peculiar
spiritual nourishment which men
must have If life is to be worth living.
The tribes stand silent, waiting to be
told what their fate Is to be. The
question is: Are they shut out from
the hope which President Roosevelt
has declared to be the right Of all
Americans? II Congress adjourns
without granting them their share of

subordinating the de jure aspect Of
the situation created in violation of
international treaties. Then, in mid
April, the Japanese startled the world
with their proclamation Of overlord-
ship in China and Asia, and such a
trend as there may have been toward
recognition underwent q sudden and
definite check. Only last week the
League Of Nations Manchurian Com
mittee reaf1irmed the non-recognition
policy. Geneva Is frankly displeased
with El Salvador's action and Is now
weighing the question as to whether
the Salvadoreans should be expelled
from the League for violating the
assembly's non-recognition resolution.
Meantime, it Is highly improbable
that El Salvador's example, promising
as 1t may seem to Toxic, will prove
contagious. The chances are that
Manchukuo will have to be content

small recognition favors as the Gen.

Crop Policies and Drought
Discussed on Anniversary

has been almost no change in cotton
prices on the Liverpool market, and
that most Of the change in American
prices has come from devaluation OF
the dollar" The Weekly also quotes
an investigator who says that dis
placement of tenant farmers is &C
tually taking place, and that "it has
resulted in throwing a large number
out of work" The Christian Science
Monitor says that there Is every
probability that under the Bankhead
bill thousands more will be thrown
out of work, for much less labor will
be required to harvest its maximum
of 100000 bales than has been
needed to handle the normal crop Of
about 100000 bales"
Failure to effect a substantial de-
crease in the farmers cost of living
is emphasized by the New York Times
in the statement: In May CT last
year the index number Of farm prices,
as computed by the Federal Bureau
of Agricultural Economies, stood at
62-with 100 representing the pre-
war average. On the same scale, the
index of goods the farmer buys stood
at l02. According to these figures,
farm purchasing power q year ago
was only 81 per cent Of the desired
parity We now find, in the latest
available estimate of the same Fed
eral agency, that farm prices have
advanced to "A. But unfortunately

The records are a demonstration
over long periods" according to the
Topeka Daily Capital, that relative
prosperity occurs when farm income
and factory output fairly balance, and
not otherwise. From 1928 to the end
OF 1928, one Of the longer prosperity
eras, parity was fairly maintained.
In only one year, 1924, did factory
output fall considerably with rela-
ton to farm income, but the balance
was promptly corrected. In the lat
ter part Of 1929 factory output leaped
forward. Immediately followed by the

Indians and the New Deal.

There appears to be danger that
the Indians may be left out OF the
new deal. Congress seems to be In
no hurry to pass the Wheeler-Howard
bill, designed by the administration
to furnish a basic foundation for the
needed program Of social readjust-
ment. The theory is said to prevail
that the legislation for which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has made a special
appeal can wait until the next Con-
gress. But such neglect has dam
gerous aspect, involves perilous risk
which no friend of the Indians can
view with equanimity.
1t happens that a crisis impends

granted on March 3, but for some un-
stated reason has only now been made
public. Relations with Manchukuo
are to be established forthwith
through a Salvadorean consulate at
Hsinking, Emperor" Kong Teh's
capital.
Ell Salvador, with an area about the
size of Maryland, is a one-crop coun-
try, dependent upon coffee for its
prosperity. Senor Siguenza, the Sal
vadorean consul general at Toxic, has
publicly expressed the hope that his
country will henceforward be able to
market large quantities OF its vital
staple in Japan. AS Senior Siguenza
has Just proudly proclaimed that FL
Salvador's recognition OF Manchukuo
is "the first step by nation on the
American continent to enhance peace

Observance Of the first anniversary
of the Inauguration Of the new deals
agricultural policy draws a diversity
of judgments from the press. Those
who look with favor upon the plan OF
crop curtailment, accompanied by the
payment of bonuses. hold that not
withstanding the Intervention Of the
drought in agricultural sections, the
first year has shown benefits, espe-
cially in the increase of a billion and
half in farmers receipts. Opposl-
ton arguments assert that devalua-
ton of the dollar is responsible for
any gain in price, and that farm
prices have not caught up with in
dustrial prices.

The jamestown IN. " Post holds,
however, that there actually is IAN

cludes: "All in all, the close of the
