save the crops, SO great has been
the damage.
AS a result, the agricultural ad-
ministration has a new and grave
problem on its hands-how to car
ry stricken farmers through bar
rem year.
Political note: State primaries,
and the elections that will follow
next November, are unusually inter-
esting this year. The pregnant ques-
tion they are arousing is: Can the
Democrats maintain their hold on
the electorate or are the millions
of Republicans who switched party
last year returning to the fold?"
All observers agree that Mr.. Roose-
velt's personal following is as large
as ever-but many doubt if even
that is enough to prevent heavy
Democratic losses when the ballots
are cast.

The general grain list was under
moderate pressure in early deal
ings today. wheat yielding cent
before meeting with any important
support.
Corn was rather firm with the
nearby contracts advancing frac'
tionally while the deferred de-
liveries lowered around the previ.
GUS closing level.
Near mid7session wheat was 70
to Ac off with the May contract
around a dollar. Corn was 3sc up
to Ac off, oats 1sc up to Ac

COTTON GAINS
STAY SMALL

NEW YORK, Nov. 16 Q.N.S0.
A better tone was displayed in the
cotton market today, although
gains were held down by the weak
ness in grains and unsettlement in
securities.
Liverpool and the continent were
good buyers during the forenoon.
and were Joined by several COM
mission houses and domestic trade
sources. Most of the offerings
were traced to locals and the
South. Spot firm selling was
noted.
A good portion of the days busi-
ness again seemed to consist Of
switching operations. It was re-
ported that spot interests got out
of more short Decembers, moving
hedges forward into distant posi-
tions.
Noon prices were up 3 to 5
points, with December up 4 at

that there will be greater gen.
0ral security"
This is true, and all practical
and patriotic men will agree.
It shoald mean that we must
get industry to functioning so
that we can produce and earn, be-
fore we can give fair conSidera-
ton to expensive experiments. It
means that we must establish a
basis for confidence, in the shape
of business recovery, before we
can attempt those reforms" and
reconstructions which hurt bust
ness and disturb confidence.
But on June 8. Mr.. Roosevelt
said: ut is childish to speak Of
recovery first and recOnstruc-
ion afterward." At that time
he stressed reform.
He now says: 81 have not
changed my opinion; but the
fact remains that in stating
that our first task is to get
the economic system to func-
tion, he seems to change the
emphasis.
(2) He now says: "There can
be no security for the individ-
ual in the midst Of general in
security"
I take this statement to mean
that until general business condi-
tionS are such that we can have
reasonable confidence in getting
employment or being able to earn
profits by Skillful enterprise, the
individual laborer and business
man will be insecure.
AS long as our money is inse-
cure, and the chance to earn
money is interfered with by ca
pricious experiments in regulation,
there will be general insecurity"
Thus. as Mr.. Roosevelt says, the
individual will not have security.
So logically the President should
now seek to remove the causes
of general insecurity which affect
business. In fact, he now says
that people now on relief must
be gotten back Unto productive
employment"
Unfortunately, however, he adds
Q statement that everything he
does to increase the security Of an
individual will be a stimulus to
recovery. That is a dangerous
idea. It certainly is not true that
increasing the security of indi.
vidual trade unionists by giving
them the "closed shop" or making
a business monopoly secure under
NRA, or fixing prices on farm
products, is a stimulus to recovery.
You can increase the security of
the voters in a certain town by
giving them Government money,
but that does not help the gen.
eral security of the nation.
Other notable points in the
address are these: CD He swats
the Townsend Old Age Pension
scheme. While not mentioning it
by name, he refers to "organiza-
tionS promoting fantastic schemes, "
which he says shave aroused
hopes which cannot possibly be
fulfilled.
"a He takes his stand, for the
present at least, on the side of a
sound and businesslike system Of
unemployment insurance. On this
score, he makes several points.
1t must be financed by con-
tributions presumably from en-
ployers and employes), not by
taxes.
It must be true insurance
plan, based on benefits and "act-
ually sound"
It must not be a dole or be
mixed with relief.
The States must cooperate,
and they are the logical units
for administering the plan.
Finally, the President goes
out of his way to remark: 1--WE
cannot work miracles or solve
all our problems at once"

- BET AGAINST

OwSley, a former Yale star. once
coach of the Navy and also coach OF
a great Yale backield.
I have seen a number of highly in
dignant people in my time, but Mr..
OwSley came close to breaking the all
time record for indignation when I
told him of the wager against Yale.
do you recall the time" he asked,
when Princeton had beaten Harvard
something like "a to 0, and told you
Yale would lick Princeton and you
laughed?"
Never mind ancient history I re-
marked, after blinking a few times.
What about the Yale situation for
1934?"
"All right" Owsley said. well move
on to 1884. 1 know the talk that is
going around. l know the general be-
lief is that Yale will be a flop next
Fall. But don't fall for that. In my
opinion We have one of the best and
most intelligent coaching staffs that
any university ever had. We've had
five weeks of the hardest, toughest,
smartest Spring campaign I ever saw.
We have the stuff, and we are an even
bet against Columbia, Rose Bowl
champions; against Princeton, un-
beaten last year, and better than an
even bet against most Of the others.
We have eight tough games-and we
are going to win al least six Of them
maybe more. What do you think
about that?"
