n YEW YORK.-In this business
capital of the United States
VI the mental condition of the
4 local business community re-
garding the new deal and re-
garding immediate business prospects
is curiously jittery.
1t is odd-in some ways-that it
should be so. The records of profits
of large corporations during the first
half of the year were decidedly en-
couraging. Moreover, the national
new deal administration, instead of
frowning upon this evidence Of re-
vived happiness for capital and capi-
talists, expressed profound pleasure
about it.
The National Recovery Administra-
ton in special pronouncement stated
that is was greatly "cheered" to learn
that $50 American corporations, in
the first six months of 1884, had
corralled net profits of S276, ,563, ,000
1t has sometimes been alleged that
the new deal is opposed to the
profit system" 1t has also been
alleged, with much more basis of
fact, that the National Recovery
Administration was committed to the
proposition that comprehensive re-
employment and comprehensive res
toration of the purchasing power OF
wage-earners should come first and
that the renewal of profits should
come only afterward.
Profits Bring Joy.
1t now appears, however, that the
National Recovery Administration re-
joices over an immense return of
profits, even if Mr.. William Green of
the American Federation of Labor
is still distressed and discontented
because of the 10,000,0 900 wage-earners
who, according to him. are still with
out any employment at all.
Additionally, the National Recovery
Administration commendS its statis-
tics of profits to the attention of the
statesmen of industrial corporations
and informs them that such data
will assist them in adjusting their
efforts to improve conditions" There
could be no clearer proof, one might
think, of the willingness of the new
deal to help in making the profit
system" more profitable.
simultaneously, very large part
of the business community in this
influential and even decisive center
of American business life is devotedly
dedicated to the price protection"
features of the N. r. A. codes. A
delightful comedy is thereupon pre-
sented to the national public gaze.
In Washington the leading officials
of the National Recovery Administra-

ton are waiting with open arms for
industries which will come forward
and ask to be relieved of the bitter
oppression" practiced upon them by
the National Recovery Administration
in the matter of price control. "
Political opposition orators denounce
that price control" and declare that
American business must be freed
from it. But the industries themselves
take no trains to Washington in
search of that freedom" They ap-
pear quite content with what their
volunteer would-be liberators call
slavery"
Price Protection Aids Profits.
The reason is, of course, that the
price protection" provisions, what
ever they may do to ultimate markets
and to the contraction of ultimate
sales, conduce at least to the ex-
pansion of immediate profits. And
the New York business community,
like most other American business
communities, was for so long in the
red that it is willing to allow even
"red" administration to help put
it bit into the black.
These considerations might lead
an observer to expect that Mr.. Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt would have little
difficulty this Fall in carrying his
home State-the country's most pop
ulous and richest State-for the Dem
ocratic party. 1t is an expectation,
indeed, which is strengthened when
the observer turns from local economic
to local purely political circumstances.
The local Democratic organization
roughly though enormously symbol
lied to Westerners in the one word
"Tammany"-has integrated itself
quite firmly under leadership salts
factory to the administration and the
new deal. Meanwhile the State chair
man of the Republican party, Mr.
Kingsland Macy, is himself a sort
OF semi-new-dealer. He maintains
that the local Republicans should
not engage in any combat against
those parts of the new deal which he
regards as beneflcent. His conception
thereupon of local political warfare
is that the Republicans should even
bestow Republican party nomina tions
upon such distinguished independent
Democrats as Mr.. Samuel Seabury,
the vigilant and victorious foe of
tba Tammany of the recent past.
Contrariwise-and diametrically con-
trariwise-a large part of the Repub-
lican party of New York City and
State would like to confer the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor upon
the eminent embodiment of the prin-
ciples Of traditional America, Mr..

had to do was plow, sow, reap. If
he had any luck at all. he could pay
for his farm out Of the proceeds Of
the first years crop.
East Land Prices High.
At that time, it should be renem-
bered, the West was in the grip Of a
virulent attack of land hunger. Every
where east of the Missouri the price
Of farm property had reached heights
beyond which it seemed unlikely ever
to go in the future.
But beyond the Missouri, reached
in a few hours and at small cost,
was cheap land in abundance. AS
result, between 1880 and 1890, the
population of the Dakotas increased

On the other hand, Mr. Reginald w.
Petre, an engineer who helped locate
and construct the Northern Pacific
Railway, says that a similar, though
much less ambitious experiment, which
was fathered by that company, was a
complete failure" He adds: "Since
those early days I have had other
experiences Of the futility of at

gions."

braska from $4,000 to 1862 900, and
Kansas from ss6, 900 to 1,42s.ooo.
For this influx of settlers the rail-
roads were mainly responsible. The
State governments helped and SO, in
a small way, did the Federal Govern
ment. But the real job of developing
the West was done by the railroads
And for good reason-there was
money in it..
Those were great days in trans
MiSsouriana. The railroads extended
their lines as fast as men and money
were available. An army of land
hungry settlers followed; grudgingly,
the stockmen who had -empted
vast areas Of public land retired.

 "I'n hold his strange bill open wide, so Duncy can climb right outside. When he is in the water, back to the shore we both will swim"
 
 By this time Duncy felt that he was just as safe as safe could be. He shouted, "Hey, there, Scouty. This old bird just wants to play.
 He's giving me dandy trip, and when want to, I can skip. It's fun to rid around like this, so in his bill I'll stay"
 "Oh, no you won't snapped Scouty. You must do just as tell you to. I'm going to grab the bird, now. It will give him quite a scare"
 The bird, however, proved real strong. It rose and took both lads along. Wee Dotty, back on shore, yelled, Hey, lads, look what's in the air"

 Course Duncy, in the meantime, was q very puzzled lad because he had expected he'd be carried far, far fin the air.
 The pelican, however, dropped down to the water. Then it stopped to swim around bit. This rather eased off Duncy's scare.
