The NewDeal
Washington
By RODNEY BUTCHER

Tribune Warrington Coerespondent)
Washington, Dec. 81. - Probably
there never will come Q time when
some congressman won't believe
there's glorious limelight for him In
an expose Of Communist activities.
But the latest circus Of the sort has
stirred up 50 little commotion Is to
indicate that the good old Red Scare
isn't the sure-fire attraction Il used
to be.
Even the old reliable D. A. e. ladies
failed to appear before the House
committee investigating ''un-Amer-
lean activities"
This has been . great disappoint-
ment to investigating oongressmen
and the Communist party leaders.
Both win miss the publicity.
It Is especially embarrassing to
Chairman Mccormack Of llassa-
chusetts. The committee was sup
posed to be investigating Nad as well
Is Communist doings and McCor-
mack had just given the Nai1s . vir.
tual immunity bath In = public as
surance that the German government
had adopted Q new policy Of uon-iu-
reference In America.

only have been cast into the discard.
without very much being said about
it. we have embarked upon program
which soon will place the United
States behind an economic wall sim
liar to those which have been built
up around other countries.
Those few farm leaders, for exam
pie, who rail- against crop control
and talk slibly about resuming our
export trade, seem wholly unaware OF
the fact that both France and Italy,
once great importers Of wheat, now
are on an export basis, due to ma
tionalistic programs Of their own.
They seem blissfully ignorant Of the
fact that Germany has . 100 per cent
tariff on nearly all agricultural I'M
ports and that England, the only
really big importing nation, grants
preferences to her colonies which
virtually bar us from that market.
In view Of these facts, it would
seem that nationalism was our only
feasible course. The choice was not
ours. It was thrust upon us.
All Of this is rather forcibly brought
home by the report of the Mississippi
Valley committee, In which North
Dakota is particularly interested.
There we find this statement:
"Given the existing markets,
agriculture has been much over
expanded, even though not much
more than one-third Of the till
able soil which would be avail
able under such extreme pressure
OF population as exists in China
Is now devoted to harvested crops.
Fewer farmers and farm laborers
are at work than was the case =
generation ago, but this dimin-
jshed number produce more than
can be domesticahy consumed or
exported. These generalizations,
true Of the whole country, are
especially pertinent for the MIS-
sissippi valley-the nations gra-
nary"
Therein Is presented one Of the
real problems for agriculture. 1t
hints at tho cut-throat competition
between farmers which has driven
the entire class into bankruptcy or
at least to the verge Of it.
More than q hint that, in addition
to our price situation, we must find
. way to keep our rural population
probably by arranging to
distribute available employment more
equitably, Is contained in it.
For even after fair prices and good
crops return we shall have agricul-
tural unemployment as result of
the reduced output. II we are not
to have the spectacle Of plenty living
side by side with want, even In good
times, we shall have to complete the
course which has been forced upon
u, devise some means Of meeting this
situation.

Publicity for Paroles
(Nkinnaonn1ic T'rihrlnpl

The move to give fuller publicity
to the circumstances under which
paroles are granted Is reported to be
gaining Roadway in many states as
. result Of the stand taken recently
by Joseph B. Keenan,, aid to Attorney
General Cummings, before the ma
tional crime conference.
At that time Mr.. Keenan, urged
that the names Of all persons spon-
soring paroles, Is well as of the In
dividuals writing to the authorities
asking clemency for convicts. should
be available to the public" While
practices in this respect differ wide
~ in individual states, there seems
to be good reason for believing that
the parole situation, viewed as q
whole, could stand q little spotlight
ing. In Detroit, recently, q murder
was charged to paroled youth who
had. as one Of his sponsors, person
with q police record. Time and
again, throughout the country, pris-
oners are paroled without the approx
IL or even the knowledge OF the
agencies which were instrumental In
convtcting them.
That some secrecy in the granting
Of paroles is desirable may perhaps
be granted, and undoubtedly . hard
and-fast publicity rule would not be
without its disadvantages. But In the
final analysis, the interests Of society
must be made paramount in any con-
alteration Of the parole question. II
present methods. In many states, are
encouraging the release Of convicts
who are potential menace to So
ciety, then those methods deserve to
b closely scrutinized with q view to
correcting them.
Few advocate the wiping out Of the
parole system, but the need for ad.
ministeriug it with more intelligence.
and with the welfare Of the general
public always IN mind, is rather wide
" conceded. The records Of such
desperadoes Is Dillinger, Barrow. Van
Meter and others testify eloQuently
to the urgency OF reform within the
system. Fuller publicity for parole
sponsors will not, Of course, accom-
plish miracles, and Mr.. Keenan, prob
ably expects none to materialize II
his recommendations are followed.
But It Is rather obvious that Mr..
keenan, is looking in the right direc-
ton and that there will be fewer
abuses In . system which operates in
the light than In one which Is shroud-
ed II secrecy and darkness.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Calcium Lactate


Following your suggestion tried
calcium lactate and I wish to report
It brought relief to giant hives with
which I had suffered for years. MY
physician first had blood test and
found my blood calcium was below

thyroid and parathyroid with It, and
he switched to calcium gluconate
which certainly agrees better i.

We Have Chosen 4 Course

We Have Chosen 4 Course
In his latest book and in other
public expressions. Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wallace has asked the Amer
jcan people to ponder the future
course Of industry and agriculture
and to deliberately chart Q course
after taking due cognizance Of Ill
the factors involved.
The three possible courses have
been outlined as extreme nationalism,
In which economic self -sufficiency
would be the rule; extreme inter-
nationalism, which is synonymous
with free trade and may involve
abandonment Of the American stand
ard Of living: and . planned course
between the two extremes.
u That country as large as this can
deliberately agree upon any one Of
the three Is obviously impossible, but
tho sentiment Of the nation has
cleariy driven tho government toward
espousal Of the uationalistic plan.
We have. Tor example, taken our

Ring in the New


New Years has always been . time
for rejoicing, probably because the
human spirit naturally looks forward
rather than backward. FOR many Of
us it is more pleasant to do 30. The
brightness Of . new day brings new
encouragement and things win al
ways be better tomorrow. This atti-
1ude gives the human race that spir-
jtual resiliency which It needs to
overcome the obstacles which Father
Time and its own ignorance always
are placing before Us.
On New Years, then, It u always
in order to both assay the past and
look into tho future.
In many ways 1894 was not good to
,ls. It brought US the worst drouth
in history when farmers, sick at
heart. watched . blazing sun destroy
their crops and with them their
hopes Of prosperity and even Of COM
fort. This was calamity and. stand
ing alone, no other face can be put
upon it.
In its wake. however, came many
worthwhile things. We saw . regen-
Grafton Of the spirit which brought
about the settlement Of this country.
Tho bonds Of mutual distress brought
,,eighbor closer to neighbor. There
developed In North Dakota . knowl-
edge that We must III pull together
il We were to contribute to our own
salvation. This has been evidenced
in . thousand ways, . few Of them
big, most Of them small but significant.
II the year ending was not as
bright as it might have been, neither
was 1t as dark. We have weathered
the storms Of 1894 with q minimum
of suffering. Our battles have more
or less immunized US to petty prob
lens. We have cast them aside to
confront square1y the major issues
and in getting down to the rock-bot-
tom Of social. economic and political
problems We can expect future results
which will bring more than merely
temporary relief.

depleted finances are realities which

versities have sobered VI but also

with new wisdom built upon trial
and error. Looking back, It Is easy
to discern our mistakes. It would be
too much to expect that others will
not be made In the future. But It Is
good to know that there will be no

Capitol St., died in Emergency
Hospital from injuries received

signed with his brother.
Joe and his brother, Paul,
poured the powder from a large
firecracker which had failed to tx
plode into a small tin box, one
inch square, in the basement al
their home.
A piece Of string was used for
a fuse. One end was placed in
the powder and the other lighted
with a match. When this failed
to work one of the boys took some
Shellac from q work bench and
poured it on the powder.
A deafening explosion resulted
and Joe was Spattered with blaZ.
ing fluid. Mrs. S. E. Linkins, the
housekeeper, ran to the basement
and was burned in attempting to
smother the flames which envel,
oped Joe'S clothing.
Paul, who had been further
from the box ran upstairs and re,
turned with a pan of water with
which he doused his brother. The
boy was taken to the hospital by
the Fire Rescue Squad, with burns
