Not So Bad.

And what will the prophets of American
doom say? The United States Treasury bond issue
for close to billion dollars oversubscribed three
fold within the first day
OF course, this sort of thing has happened be-
fore But always within few weeks the opponents
have been shouting the Government credit was on
the rocks So doubtless within fortnight the same
old fear campaign will be in full swing again.
The curious aspect of this is that it is the
same bankers behind the doom propaganda who
rush to oversubscribe Government securities every
time they get chance If President Roosevelt is
half as irresponsible and dangerous the banker
propaganda would have us believe, why do they bet
their money on him SO heavily?
The answers is not hard to find
The bankers know that the President far from
being an extreme currency inflationis actually side
tracked mandatory currency initiation by the last
Congress Thanks to Mr. Roosevelt the printing
press provisions of the law were left discretionary
with the President.
All of these months he has had that power
and never used it, Now the fact that in Govern
ment refinancing he chooses to get money in the
usual way instead of manufacturing it, is addi-
tional evidence that the President is not riding any
pet monetary theory off the deep end.
If extreme currency initiation comes-and that is
possibility after Congress meets-it will be be-

The FSRC.
(New York Times.)

Among the newest of many agencies in
Washington is the Federal Surplus Relief Corpora
ton, to be known, no doubt, the FSRC.
Its articles of incorporation published yesterday in
The Times mark out exceedingly broad field
within which it may function. 1t is to exercise
ANY and all powers that may legally be delegated
to it under the MIRA, the AAA and the Emergency
Relief Act 1t may purchase, store, handle and
process" surplus commodities of any kind. 1t may
attempt ito adjust the severe disparity between the
prices of agricultural and other commodities" Sub
ject to Federal and State law, it may purchase,
hold own, mortgage, sell, convey otherwise dis
pose Of" real and personal property of any sort
and in general, carry on any and all business
necessary convenient to- the relief of the exist
ing national economic emergency"
This is a very broad prospectus, but it seems
probable that at least for the present, the cor
poraton will use chiefly for two purposes such
powers may be vested in it, 1t will act for the
Government in purchasing surplus beef butter,
wheat cotton and other farm commodities, for dis
tribution to agencies engaged in relief of unempoy
ment. This is not new assignment. The corpora
ton has been making such purchases over period
of several months. For while its articles in
corporation published yesterday for the first
time, it actually organized early October
IA date which gives it seniority in ranking over
such still newer agencies as the CWA and the
FACA Shortly before its incorporation the Presi-
dent announced that the Administration hoped
through such agency to deal "direct blow "at
the economic paradox which has choked farms with
an abundance of farm products while many of
the unemployed have gone hungry
The second function which the corporation seems
likely to perform is According to the Wash
ington dispatches, plans are being made to use it
as the Governments agent in retiring submarginal
farmland from cultivation. In his recent report
Secretary Wallace recommended for this purpose
outright purchase rather than rental I'm the long
run, it would be cheaper for the Government to

to power to remain until 1914 Charles F. Murphy

REPEAL BILL INTRODUCED.

The bill for the repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry
Law introduced by Delegate Dimond on the opening
day of Congress will meet with the approval of a
large majority of the people of Alaska. 1t is
squarely in line with their latest expression the
subject and its provisions in accord with the
liberal policy Of the Democratic Party pledged
in Chicago in 1882 and as since translated into
action by President Roosevelt.
First, the measure asks for outright repeal of
the Alaska Prohibition statute Second, it asks that
Alaska, through its Legislature in the future be
empowered to regulate and control the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic liquors within Territorial
boundaries. Third, it asks for ratification of the
law passed by the 1888 Alaska Legislature setting
up a Board of Liquor Control to prescribe rules
and regulations governing the traffic pending furth
action by the Legislature in 1885, later.
Fourth, it provides that the Governor shall have
power to pardon persons convicted under the Alaska
Bone Dry Law.
The Democratic Party in Alaska, in convention,
adopted platform pledging itself to repeal of the
local statute. Mr.. Dimond made it one of his plat
form pledges in his 1882 campaign. AS to the second
provision, that has long been advocated by Alaska
Democrats who contend that Alaska ought to have
the same power to regulate and control the liquor
traffic within its borders all other Territories
have had.
The third provision is in keeping with the second.
If Congress is going to permit to pass laws on
the subject beginning with the next meeting of the
Legislature in 1885. there is valid argument to
be advanced against ratifying the statute it passed
in 1888 in anticipation of repeal empowering GER
tain officials of the Territorial Government to act
as a Liquor Control Board. That merely advances
the date of local control one year
AS to the fourth provision, it is in the interests
of justice. Although technically Alaskans still
bound by the National Prohibition Act and the
Alaska Bone Dry Law, insofar they act, they
have already wiped them off the slate. The local
Legislature, by almost unanimous vote on two
occasions voted to repeal the latter law BY their
ballots, Alaskan voters have said plainly they
could that they disguised with National Pro-
hibiton Yet, it is up to officials to enforce these
laws as long they the books. AS result
some individuals whose only offense is to do some
thing that vast majority of the States voting
have already declared they do not consider
criminal or illegal act will be tried, convict
ed and sentenced. Where such infractions
involve nothing of moral turpitude than that
amnesty is certainly in order. More serious nrac-
items, of course, might and happen. BY giving
the Governor power to pardon, a discriminating
use of that power will free those who are not
crI finals in the real sense of the word.
The Dimond repeal bill is a progressive liberal
me asure 1t ought to pass Congress without debate
or great delay.

Permanent Farm Policy.
milwaukee JournalD

If the farmers, feeling the satisfaction of better
conditions due to Government support and their
own policies of crop retrenchment, think they can
then beat the game by planting bigger crops they
will beat themselves
permanent farm policy is necessary as this
present aid That policy will have to center around
the law of supply and demand. BY that We do not
mean that the farmer should be compelled, in the
end, to limit his crops strictly to domestic con-
sumption. To do would be to make agriculture
permanently subordinate to industry. There would
be justice in that
In the restoration of our foreign markets. the
farmer should get his share But to make this
restoration possible for both the farm and industry
the farmer will have to do some thinking that
differs from his sentiments of the immediate past
and of the present

ANNUAL CONCERT OF
THE CALVARY CHORUS
Adult Department Heard in
Spendid Program Last

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The annual concert of the adult
department chorus Of Calvary Baptist
Church, under the direction OF An
drew Wilkins, took place last evening
at Woodward Hall. The assisting
artists were Lois Abernethy, pianist
and Mrs Glen Edgington, accompanist
for the chorus.
This is the fifth annual concert of
this organization which began with
Is members and now numbers 60
Mr.. Wilkins announced that many
were absent from yesterdays concert
on account of illness thus affecting
the volume of the ensemble, particu-
larly OF the mems section. In spite
of the decreased numbers, the tonal
quality of the male voices was
superior to that Of the women, who
showed tendency to sing under
pitch when not supported by the
heavier voices Of the men.
The program scheduled a first pub-
lie rendition of a four-part anthem.
Evening Brings Us Home" written
by Marion Moore and dedicated to
Mr.. wilkins. While not pretentious
in character. the anthem is of the
slngable kind that lends itself well
to general choral work. Schubert's
The Almighty was given by the
women of the chorus with soprano
obligato by Eleanor Westergren. A
gay group in the second part of the
program for three-part female voices
comprised Holiday" by Grey -Audran-
Moore and ITO Marching Tune, by
Grey Parks Moore.

color by the men of the chorus we're

sympathy, is exemplified in the con-
duct that falls to the lot Of Miriam
Hopkins, who plays in All of Me"
tenderly wrought with an accompani-

Theater
Not many of the Hollywood con-
tingent could produce the effect that
is achieved by Miss Hopkins in this
story of a mind and body driven to
reckless acts by Withering expert
ence. Norma Shearer has added to
her fame with such roles. Miss
Hopkins steps out into a new world,
as she interprets a piece of literature,
not merely with display of beauty,
such as has appeared in her record,
but with depth and touch of human
nature that Stirs the soul of an
audience.
Film quality of this type is hard to
find. 1t is more than a recital of the
kind of life that reaches into every
human circle. 1t is the Interpretation
of one of those almost perfect speci-
mems with cultural instincts. brought
to the precipice which, in a single act,

While the two are approaching the
point of distressing separation, they
sit in public dining room near
another couple of lower type, in
which the woman is similarly stu
ated. The latter is distressed because
her young lover is about to be taken
back to prison. This couple is played
with excellent effect by George Raft
and Helen Mack. Singularly, the
fortunes of the two couples. so far
apart in material affairs, are linked in
series of sensational incidents. All
four are potential parents. Miss Hop
kins assists in a deperate attempt to
liberate both the man and the woman
from institutions. and in making his
escape. the man seriously wounds a
guard.
The sacrifice serves to reunite Miss
Hopkins and her former fiance. and
the incident ends with a happier
background than appeared to be pos
sible in the earlier stages.
The Palace also presents several
short films, including a Charley Chase
comedy, Grantland Rice sports

by Prokoftleff was used. In the latter
offering the motive of the dance, con-

to grasp the meanings of these dances
and intensified a blended interpreta-

Marjory King presented a group of
songs in a pleasing manner. She gave
a touch of genuine feeling to None

completed the group. The audience
was delighted with the freshness and
sweetness of her voice and Miss King
was given spontaneous applause.
