schools and other institutions OF in
struction was handed to the state
board Of administration.
Since then the personnel Of the
board has changed, the condition
which made the subject an issue has
dropped from public notice and dust
gathers on tho report, which cost
the state . considerable sum of
money and was published with much
fanfare.
There Is prospect now, however,
that the same old question again will
b raised and that . marked change
in the status OF some Of our normal
schools Is in the offing.
Many Of them practically are jun
Tor colleges now and the next move,
Of which rumblings are beginning to
DO heard. is to make some Of them
that in fact.
The change, II and when 1t comes,
probably would be an economy for
the state. The teachers colleges now
offer. In addition to purely profess
sional instruction. the courses which
are offered by junior colleges.
TO consolidate and concentrate the
professional instruction in q few
schools, permitting the others to de-
vote themselves to general educa-
ton, may be forced by two factors.
One Is the prevailing lack Of demand
for the services Of many persons
qualified as teachers, the other Is the
increasing demand for a general
raising Of the educational level.
The proposal might meet with OPP
position from the state university
and agricultural college, tax-sup-
ported institutions Of higher learn
ing, on the ground that 1t would
divert students from them for the
first two years OF college course.
There might, also. be something Of q
contest between the various normal
schools over their status under a
Encouragement.
These obstacles may be overcome,
however, by the pressure Of boys and
girls who find 1t cheaper and easier
to attend schools near their homes
and who yet do not wish to dedicate
themselves to the teaching profess
sion.

Modification by NRA authorities
OF the auto code. to permit tempo
rary use OF q 4O-hour week instead
OF the original 35-hour limit, looks
like sensible way OF meeting q
somewhat peculiar problem.
Having employed many workers
already under the 35-hour limit, the
industry temporarily needs more
men, because of increased schedules.
Raising the limit to 40 hours makes
it unnecessary to hire more men just
now. And that, in land striving to
create jobs, looks bit funny.
But 1t is a sensible move, just the
same. Calling for more men right
now would draw vast influx OF job
seekers to the auto centers. These
jobs would be only temporary: pres
emily many men would lose their new
jobs and the dislocation of the labor
supply would be worse than It is
now.
If these jobs were to be perma-
nent, of course, 1t would be different.
But they aren't.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
Tribune Washington Correspondent

Washington, Jan. 17.-"No public
ity" was the order when the admin
istration decided to make sugar and
rum in the Virgin Islands.
There were good reasons. Lots OF
people don't want Uncle Sam making
rum. Squawks from sugar-raising
states were certain. And enemies OF
Socialism were sure to be heard from.
But when Roosevelt quietly signed
the order a)locating 100000 OF pub
lie works funds to buy plant and
acreage for production, his idea wasn't
to make rum and sugar.
That happens to be the only efasi-
BILE way In which the Virgin Islands
which Hoover called IAN effective
poorhouse"- be rehabilitated.
Most of the profits from sale of rum
and sugar in this country will go to
cane farmers, who will be organized
into q cooperative. The project calls
for purchase Of 1000 acres Of cane
land, which will be dealt out to hum
dreds Of farmers on the subsistence
homestead plan.
The sugar plant. operated by q u.
s. corporation, will buy their crop.
Others farmers will be eligible for
the coop.
A 100000 gallon still Is planned and
the islands will produce about 10000
tons Of sugar. When sugar prices are
too low to give the cane farmers a
decent price. the corporation will step
up production Of rum.

THE MIGHTY LAID LOW

That big bad wolf, Andy Melons
powerful and monopolistic Aluminium
Company Of America, has come here
as supplicant-a weakling set upon

No one ever expected to live to see

The corporation wants to keep out
from under the electrical code. There's
scheme on foot to fix uniform
price for electric cable. Most cable
is made of copper, but some Of alumni
mum, which is cheaper.
So the aluminium company is max
ing terrific fuss, claiming it would
be at the mercy Of copper interests,
which would set the same price for
both kinds of cable.

Trade With Russia
Cargo FORUM

Unquestionably the recognition
which has been given the Soviet Gov
eminent Of Russia will increase trade
between the two countries. Whether
the immediate possibilities are really
as optimistic as some are inclined to
believe Is largely matter of specula-
lion. Yet, II the Soviet Government
lives up to the assurances given at
the time recognition was granted,
there Is every reason to look forward
to an expanding trade development.
This depends. however, upon Russia'S
good faith and on improving world
economic conditions and balance.
Speaking before the American
Chamber Of Commerce Of Germany
recently, Leo Chintchuk. SOVIET Am
bassador to Berlin. looking at the fu-
rllre Of Americana Russian trade rela-
tons sanguinely, made the point that
there were two ways to speed up ben
efits, one or the other of which is
vital: one Is that of credit to Russia,
and the other is that we must buy
from Russia.
The fact is that Soviet credit has
not been any too good In the past.
Mr. Chintchunk makes the assertion
that his Government has recently
paid its bills better than have most
capitalistic countries. But. be that as
II may, one OF the things that has
impaired Soviet credit has been the
fact that the Government has repudi-
ated the foreign claims against previ-
Gus governments. In his conversation
with President Roosevelt, Litvinoff
gave assurances that his country was
prepared to enter into negotiations
for the adjustment of these claims.
Such . step would improve Russian
credit nightly. There is no doubt
but that Russia could use q large
quantity Of our industrial output. But
Russian credit is an important factor.
As to American purchases from
Russia. what Russia has to sell very
closely parallels much that we have
70 sell. One Of the chief things that
Russia would like to find IS markets
Tar farm products. This country,
needs foreign farm markets also.
Another chief thing IS industrial prod
ducts. This country Is industrially
equipped to supply the American mar
ket and With better products.
Il either the credit Of the buying
u Russian products are the only ways
open 70 assure ourselves Of Russian
buying here, it would seem that the
only logical method, ct the moment.
would - the credit plan. And that
depends upon the evidence Of RUS
sia's sincerity q purpose. One Of the
factors tha* lends some encourage
ment . to Russian intentions Is the
differences existing between Russia
aI,d Japan, and that Russia desires to
b. On friendly terms with the United
States which. II Il felt, has. next to
Russia, 4 more definite interest In
japanese moves in the Orient than
| any othsf country.

THE MEETING

CONYA made herself stop thinking
- Of anything beyond tomorrow

strength and poise for her meeting
with Karakhan. Il would b fatal
to brood about the future and let It
unnerve her. The future must take
care Of itself.
All that day her thoughts had
been running on her father: and
now. on the trip up tho dark river,
they came back to him. and she
tried to feel that he was with her
in spirit, watching over her safety
again a. he had done during that
white Siberian winter.
A. she looked above the tree tops
and saw the Sacred W hanging In
the northeast sky. she remembered
the long ago evening IN distant
Irkutsk when he had drst pointed
It out to her and Carl. and recalled
winter nights In tho Lena Woods
when the three Of them had lain
huddled together. without nre or
shelter, listening for enemies and
watching the consultations swing
around the pole star.
Now he and Carl were gone, and
under the far-northern Canadian
sky she was watching those con.
stellations alone. Dead. he and Carl.
her lnenfolk who had been ill the
world to her-she dared not let her
self think Of them a. dead, for Il
was only recently that che had
pulled herself out OF the black bot
tomless tragedy Of their deaths and
found heart to 90 on living.
Karakhan was reading Z batch Of
month-old newspapers that mid
night when the three runners came
into his cabin with LsNoir's report.
The moment he heard about the
escape Of Ralston and his partner,
he made up his mind to get away
in his plane a. soon a. he had light

Sharpened by twenty years Of
keeping ahead Of the law. his intui.

That fellow Ralston had Z charmed
life.
He wavered over what to do
about Sonya. On Helen Mathieson.
or any Of the others, he would not
have wasted q thought: but Sonya
volkov stood out by herself, one Of
the rare personalities Of his life
time. In the last few days he had
been thinking Of her till she had be-
come . madness in his blood: and
all the clamorous impulses within
him rebelled ct the thought Of leav-
