7 1t was Secretary Ickes' appoint
ment of DR.. Ernest Gruening as
director of the division of terri
tories and insular possessions.
Any doubt the United States
thinks now of policy of colonial
expansion has been dispelled by
the new director of the country
overseas colonies himself. He was
quick to refute such an idea at
his first meeting with newspaper
men.
An outspoken critic of this
cOuntry's policy toward Latin
America through several past ad-
ministrations, Gruening sees the
arrival of ''real Pan-Americsn
friendship and cooperation as a
result of the Roosevelt good
neighbor" policy.
"The good neighbor' policy of
the present administration first
was looked upon as just another
slogan, but all thinking persons
now realize the United States is
not INDUCING in empty words, but
is backing up its commitments
with action" Gruening said.
Grusning's appointment is in
terpreted here, however, by Off
cial and unofficial observers of
the administration foreign policy
as concrete evidence of the presl-
dents doctrine of good neighbor-
illness" not only to the country's
territorial and insular possessions.
but to other nations on the hemis-
phere as well.

Outlook Much Brighter For
Nations Educational system

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-
The nations educational system.
still staggering from the blows of
the depression, is getting ready to
care for about one-fourth of the
country's population this fall.
With attendances augmented by
thousands who in normal times
would find compensatory occupa-
tions, it is estimated that the en-
rollment will reach record
breaking grand total of more than
31,000,000 students, some 49,
100000 in the public schools and
100000 in private institutions.
The increase over last years at
tendance is figured to be between
100000 and 100000.
Government education officials
say the brunt of the burden i'm
posed by increased enrolment will
be borne by the high schools,
which already are overcrowded
and handicapped by drastic cur
tailment of facilities. Moreover,
the drought and continued pres
sure of adverse economic condi-
tl0ns are expected to make 1884
1885 the worst year for the
schools. in some sections of the
country.
Improvement Forecast
They believe, however, that on
the whole the depression in educa-
ton has about reached bottom.
that greater stability will be at
tanned in school financing in many
states this year and that general
Improvement will be noticed a
year hence.
Emery NJ. Foster, chief statisti-
clan of the United States office
of education, says the outlook has
been frightened by the movement
toward restoration and enlarge
ment of state aid for schools, by
the business pickup in several
southern states where the situa-
ton had been desperate and by
the Improvement in municipal tax
collections.
Nearly all school districts are
reported to have some resources
for opening their schools this fall.
While no definite allotments of
federal funds to prevent the clos
ing of schools have been made,
some states have taken steps to
insure the operation of all public

Washington, April q. Just one and
only one method seems to be open to
Uncle Sam to collect, slowly, some
of the war debts due from Europe to
this country.
This method is to tax the money
out of the delinquents, by levies on
their ships, whenever they enter
American ports.
1t will not be satisfactory method.
It will be retaliatory proceeding,
akin to war, which is injurious to the
folk who engage in it, as we'll as 10
those against whom it is waged.

indefinitely, to yield much
1t will not penalize welshing peo-
pies like Belgium, which have little

their obligations.
1t will be an embarrassment to the
welshing nations, too.

London Conference q FiZZle
The policy of the United States re-
garding foreign trade has boxed the
compass during the past two years.
Prior to the Inauguration OF the new
administration in March, 1888, the re-
vival of foreign trade was the subject
of great discussion. This problem was
regarded as one of President Roosc-
velt's primary tasks. At the London
Economic Conference. however, our
delegates turned their backs on a
policy of international cooperation. 1t
soon became apparent that the United
States would do little toward the solu-
tion of world problems until dimestic
conditions were on the mend
There was a sharp difference of

opinion at home on this policy. Even
our representatives at Londin were far
from unanimous in their views. On
one aspect of this policy, however, the
majority of the people in the United
States were in agreement. War clouds
were hanging low over Europe. In
the Far East, Russia and Japan seem
ed ii be on the verge of conflict. If
there is one thing the American and
Canadian people desire more than any
thing else in the international affairs
il is to keep out of the next war. Ac-
cordingly, those who preach doctrine
of self-sufficiency have this argument
in their favor; History shows clearly
that cimmercial competition among
Causes of war.
Yhat Price Self -Sufficiency?
But let us examine carefully the cost
to this country of strict policy of
isilation We may summarize it as fol-
lows: The United States government
would give up her interest and prin-
cipal on the war debts Private inves-
tors would take a severe loss on their
foreign securities. The housewife
would have to get along without tea,
coffee. chocolate, tropical products
and certain other food luxuries Ine
government would have to subsidlzo
the production of sugar, synthetic rub
ber and manganese. Tin, mercury, and
tungsten would be conserved as wal
stocks.
How would American industry fare
if the United States attempted to "go
- ~ o,1k
would cillapse entirely. The railroads
would lose their traffic to the sea-
coast. Commercial banks and middle,
men would sacrifice their export Susi-
ness. Makers Of office equipment and
agricultural implements would lose
their most lucrative markets. Manu-.
facturers of machinery and autom1-
biles would be limited to domestic GUS
toners. Copper producers would lose
25 to so per cent of their market The
oil flow would be regulated ii our own
needs. In summary, over 10000 900
American people would be brown out
of work, This would be the minimum
cost to American industry of adopt
ing a strict prigram of economic iso-
laion.
The Farmers Stake
The American farmer is tradition
ally indifferent to the course of 1or-
eign trade. Let us see, however, how
a complete policy of nationalism wouid
affect him. Normally more than half

farmers send one quarter of their

Presumably it should amount to D.

fled by consideration that it would
ne shared in by the shipping of other
maritime powers (Finland's, Scandr-
navias and Japans among them),
which never have reneged on indebt-
ednesses to the United States.
And finally, it is not to be lost sight
of that it WOULD be reta1iatory
step.

durance not to think Of retaliation
against a policy like that of England,

New York, April 27.-Wall Street
sees President Roosevelt as having
lost one of his most important battles
He failed to have Congress adjourn
prior to a drop in the wheat price.
The failure will bring about world
readjustments. For Congress will not
adjourn now until it has forced on
the President silver monteization
bill or even more drastic inflatlu..
than that.
That is why the American dollar has
dropped against world currencFes.
When Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace aomitted that governmental SUBJ
sides to hold up wheat prices were too
costly to be continued, the world knew
then that initiation was lowering over
the Presiden.
That would bring speculative prices
for Whilethen what? That's what
Europe asks. Europe IS old; it has
tried everything
AS for wheat prices, sooner or later
they had to come down to world prices
Only Increased consumption ever can
hold prices Ap.
Milk
New York state is trying now to
rescue the dairy farmer by boosting
milk prices. through milk control
board
Many thousand New York school
children are Lndernourished because
their parents cannot afford to buy
milk.
Yet the price is raised
Dairy farmers are in a bad way.
But now more children will be under
nourished there will be more "over-
production" and more milk will be
thrown away by farmers and distripu-
tors because of "overproduction''
The trouble lies in the spread be-
tween what the farmer gets and what
the large milk distributors obtain
There still are too many middlemen
or too complicated a distributive
system.
If electricity is public utility, why
isn't milk, the very sustenance of life,
utility alarmed citizens are asking
