that "at present the attitude and

opinion: "At a time when Italy is

hobbling of Hitlerism, when England
is displaying a fresh interest in the
French demand for security and when
no major power in Europe is out

Germany Would Do Business.

Despite the tall claims of economic
-sufficiency with which she has
recently been breathing defiance to
the world, Germany has lost no time
in seeking to rehabilitate her shat
tered foreign trade. Chancellor Hit
Ter, Reichsbank President Schacht and
Propaganda Minister Goebbels have
been clustering that if Nazi-distrust-
ing countries overseas declined to buy
German goods, the Reich would re-
taliate by boycotting foreign wares
even vital raw materials which it Gus
tomarily imports on large scale
and rely upon the ingenuity and re-
sourcefulness of German inventive
science to provide adequate sub
stitutes. The Fatherland had been
reduced to such extremes during the
war, Berlin said, and it would meet
the emergency now as it did then.
Germany is now knocking at the
door of the State Department in
Washington, with view to ascertain
ing under what conditions the Reich
can obtain urgently required supplies
of American rawstuffs for starving
German industries. Secretary Hull Is

A survey made by the Bureau of Air
Commerce reveals that American pas
senger airlines during the first half
Of the year flew nearly 100000 miles
for each of the q accidents. This is
more than half again as many miles
per accident in the same period last
year.
Personal errors were the cause of
more than half of the accidents, prov
ing that men are not yet as depend
able as the planes they use. Plane
failures were the cause of less than 19
per cent of the disasters, while
disasters due to weather conditions
were only per cent below those due
to failure of planes. The surprising
feature of the report is that less than
/ per cent of the accidents, nearly all
of which occurred on domestic lines,
resulted from airport and terrain con-
ditions, which have received much
attention to insure safety.
While there were fewer accidents so
far this year, there was an increase
in fatalities: yet the record is more
than five and half million passen-
ger miles for every passenger killed.
Maintenance of schedules is i'm
portant to public carriers, and in the
effort to be on time sacrifices have
been made which it is believed were
the cause of some Of this years acci-

better showing for safety than the
foreign lines, which will see in the
years record something to direct
attention to improvement.

procal tariff treaties with various
countries, and the Nazi government,
urged on by its grave economic plight,
would welcome q trade arrangement
with the United States. Negotiations
thus far are altogether informal, but
Germany's proposals are understood
to comprehend some kind of q bar
ter arrangement whereby she could
buy large quantities of cotton, cop
per, gasoline and other American
products and send us in return ma
chinery, potash, beer, chemicals, dyes
and medical instruments, among
other things.
1t is indicated that the State De-
partment for various reasons does not
react enthusiastically to the Germs n
suggestions. Secretary Hull looks
upon bartering agreements as pos
sible hindrance, rather than an aid.
to world trade restoration. He pins
his faith on reciprocal treaties provid-
ing for mutual removal of tariff bar
riers and designed to cope with a
worldwide situation rather than serve
as temporary corrective In any speci-
fled area.
From the American standpoint
there are other objections to the Ger
man suggestions. In the first place IL
will be difficult to reach any kind of
commercial pact with the Reich un-
til the latter has evolved ways and
means for meeting the deliberately
defaulted payments on the Dawes and
Young plan bonds. Only recently Sec
retary Hull addressed a vigorous re-
monstrance to Berlin on this subject.
Another objection concerns the class
of goods which the Germans would
barter for American rawstuffs. Any
such imports on a large scale would
glut an already oversupplied domestic
market here.
The encouraging feature in Ger
many's overtures at Washington is to
be found in her realization that Nazi
policies have seriously disarrayed the
Reich's whole trade structure-both at
home and abroad. The greater the
process of dislocation, the sooner is
Hitlerism likely to mold its program
along lines that will eventually re-
store the German people to their great
and legitimate place in the markets
of the world.

The Clear Issue.
from the Geneva IN. " Times.

From the Geneva IN. " Times.
Twenty-three per cent of the entire
population of the United States will
probably be on relief this Winter
That is practically one-fourth of all
the families everywhere. This is a
tough prospect.
But instead of being frightened by
it there is a certain easing of strain
in being able to face the issue clearly
before the worst is at hand. The hard
thing to bear is suspense, uncertainty,
bewilderment. When Americans are
faced by hard situation, no matter
how hard, If only it be clearly defined
with a straight path before them, they
rise to the need. This issue is plain.
Three families who have work of any
kind must support fourth. And that's
that.
Government money? But the Gov
ment is ourselves and we support it
with taxes Our taxes this year and
for many years must be higher to
meet this need
Private relief? That comes from us,
too, aud we must strain for the COM
munity funds
Work relief? That, of course, is
best where it can be undertaken for
sound purposes and carried out with
common sense. Fantastic projects are
made no less so by the need for work.
They should be out of the picture. If
a public work is useful and needed, it
is good. Otherwise not.
The main thing is that We face the
issue squarely and know what must be
done and why it is necessary that
people be given jobs before they are
so sapped by grief and idleness that
they cannot work when they do get
Jobs.

As to Patriotic Spirit
In Dominion of Canada
To the Editor of The Star

10 the Editor OF The Star:
In view of letter in The Star the
other day by Mr.. Paul O. Wood, who
takes up the defense of Mr.. Lanier, I
feel that would like to make my posi-
tion clearer on the matter. In en-
phasizing the comparison between the
United States and Canada, he makes
his main point the treatment accorded
war veterans here and in Canada. I
agree that Mr.. Wood is right in re-
gard to the spirit of patriotism in
Canada, and that their veterans re-
ceived filter recognition. But 1 also
believe that were this country on the
same approximate wealth and popula-
tion as Canada, the treatment accord
ed veterans would have been fairer
and our patriotism higher.
The present administration is in
tent upon bringing the country out
of the depression $50 as to speak, be-
cause the old methods have failed.
If the administration fails it will be
because of disgruntled capitalists,
politicians and business men who be-
leve only in the old order and refuse
to consider anything else. They are
refusing to give whole-hearted CO.
operation, and to those should 20 a
large share of the blame if the coun-
try is plunged into extreme radi-
calism.
This was the idea behind my re-
ply to Mr.. Lanier, and as far as
Canada goes, she has some methods
that like (notably her law system
in principle) and some that I do not
like (Which follow through traits in
British character). However, I do
think life in Canada would be a great
experience for all of us If we could
all emigrate.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The reason for putting the various
tulips so deep is that they will be far
enough down, after the tops have
died after blooming, so that shallow
rooted plants, especially the ANIMALS,
may be planted over them without
disturbing them. This sounds some
what complicated. but really is easy
enough.
planting bulbs. If it Is just bit cold,
so much the better.
A trowel is the best implement to
use.
The beginner had best measure the
depth Of the hole for his bulbs at first,
but after a few trials he gets the hang
of the thing, and will not have to re-
sort to the measuring stick, unless he
changes to another type Of flower.
Thus it Is best to plant all the
tulips at once, then take up such other
types of bulbs as he desires one after
the other, not all mixed up.
It must be stated, in all fairness
to the bulbs, that there is nothing
absolutely fixed about the planting
depths. Tulips may be planted closer
to the surface, but those who have
handled them for many years like
them deeper, as given. Much the
same thing may be said Of the other
bulbs listed. A little difference, one
way or the ether, may not make
much difference, and then again it
may. If you get tulips too close to
the surface, they may come up too
early in the Spring and get nipped.
They have that old Holland cold in
their fibers. and If American weather
In Winter becomes too warm they
think it is Spring, sure, and up they
come.
One important consideration In
planting all bulbs, whether small or
large, is to be sure to get fiat bottom
for them to rest on.
This Is not as easily done as it
sounds.
The deeper the hole, the more diff
ficult it is for the planter to be sure
his bulb is resting solidly on earth,
and not on a pocket of air.
The importance of this comes from
the possibility of moisture and air
causing rot at the base of the bulb,
If it has an air pocket where earth
should be-
For this reason most experts advise

nicely as any tulips could do, and
thereafter behaved in the best posi-

shows anything, that too much fuss
ing and fuming is likely to make Jack

Of us do, in cities, perhaps We slightly
overdo 1t to pay too much attention
to the theoretical rules.
There is vast difference between
using such common sense as one DOS
sesses. and minding the rules too
slavishly. Rules are all right, but the
best of them may be violated some
what. If it comes to a point of doing
as one pleases, and enjoying a garden
and abiding by the book and being
mildly worried all the time, we hereby
stand up for the former mode of pro-
cedure, and urge all readers to plant
their Spring Towering bulbs at any
depth they please-but if they don't
come up, don't blame US.

and nine seconds faster than that OF
her rival. To cover the thirty-mile
course Endeavour sailed actually 33.9
miles, while Rainbow covered 35.6
miles. The challenger made a top
speed of eleven miles an hour. Today's
race will, according to the established
custom, be over a triangular course,
ten miles to the leg.
Endeavour's victory yesterday was
the first for a challenger since 1920,
when Lipton's Shamrock v took two
races, the first when Resolute, the
defender, broke down, and the second
on the following day, when the British
boat showed clean stern to her rival.
These two wins were exceptional in

challenger, Livonia, crossed the line
ahead, and that was due to a break
down on Columbia. Thus only twice
in the whole history of the compe-
tition has cup contender from over
seas actually outsailed the American
representative.
Sentiment for the challenger is
unmistakable, and yesterdays win was
applauded on this side of the Atlantic
Truth is that feeling has prevailed

contests, won without fluke and on

struction, would be as gratifying as
have all the others in the long series.

What Should Be Done
With the Currency?
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
When more pressing matters are
settled our currency should be re-
formed. 1t would add confidence If
an act of Congress were passed re-
firing the Civil War greenbacks
UNITED States notes., about 346 mil
lions Of which are out, which, for
some mysterious reason, are issued
and reissued. These could be replaced
with silver certificates, the silver to
be obtained with the $50 millions
of gold kept in the Treasury to keep
the greenbacks at par. Readers will
remember when these notes were used
as an endless chain to get gold. The
Federal Reserve notes should be re-
tanned. They provide flexibility and
are based on wealth. They can be
retired when they become too abun-
dant. National bank notes should be
discarded altogether as soon as pos
sible. They are based on bonds and
the bankers get both interest on the
bonds and the money.
Our ideal currency should be gold
and silver certificates based on bullion,
which might be displayed in huge
bullion bars to, the public, to add con-
fidence in our currency system. Ex-
cept for small change or subsidiary
purposes, the public no longer de-
sires coinage of either gold or silver.
They prefer Convenient money" the
paper representatives.
Gold and silver are commodities,
but by reason Of being precious
metals they have been used as money
for many thousands of years. It
seems to me preposterous to say that
our huge gold reserve of eight bill
lions may not carry at par one third
that amount in silver.
This writer has always firmly be-
lieved the world panic began when
England began getting rid of India,s
silver six or seven years ago. Silver
went down from "a cents an ounce
to "a and farm commodities followed
silver down, just as the late Senator
Beck Of Kentucky, monetary expert,
said they would in his great silver
speech Of 1873. The act of England
was the beginning of a worldwide
effort to get rid of silver.
