Would Pay Off Depositors

We can see no good reason why the McCloud
banking bill now before Congress should not become
a law.
II It meant heavy additional levying Of taxes, there
would be some room for argument, but as we under
stand the Bill, it is practically seh-operative. Suffic-
lent money is to be borrowed from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to pay off all the depositors In
closed banks Immediately.
All the assets of those institutions are in turn to
be assigned to the r, r. G. which will In time work
them out in such a way to replace all the funds adj
vanced. Farmers and business men, people made poor
because of having lost their savings in banks, would
get their money back, and get 1t now. This would be
placed in circulation and help everyone. The Federal
government would actually become l~iquidating agent
for all closed banks, and without doubt it could carry
on such liquidations just as effectively as the plan
now being used.
OF course. Wall street is opposed to 1t, and have
made their threats on those in Congress who expect
TO support It,, just as they have said they would move
all their stock gambling business to Canada Ii the
stock exchange Bill becomes a law. Maybe at that, the
country wouldn't be any worse off.

Business Grows Better

Only q year ago business, as Vt is depicted In a
current clever cartoon, was flat on its back In bed,
III, asking somebody, anybody, to do something. Today
the same cartoon shows business sitting up In It's In
valid's chair, bidding defiance to doctors and nurses,
ready to throw things at them, in bad temper, measur-
ably and visibly better.
The illustration is apt. 1t describes the situation
we'll The Roosevelt recovery policies have brought
business as far along as 1t is. Without much question
1T is beginning to get its legs under 1t. 1t may be ex-
pected to carry on for itself from this time on. Its bad
temper and general churlish mood is a most hopeful
sign.
So the Roosevelt recovery program is truly achiev-
ing Its first objective Business has learned some les
sons It wants TO be let alone. Its request may not be
fully granted. That portion Of 1t which needed chasten-
Ing has been quite effectively chastened. That portion
of 1t which early sensed the plan and purpose OF the
new deal Is well on Its way to nomnalcy. The new deal
is working.

Qualification and the announcement
In Tokyo that Japan considers the
matter a closed incident. Following
the enunciation of the doctrine. Great
Britain and the United States re-
Quested more definite information.
This brought from Japan an assur-
aHce to Great Britain that the Nine
Power Treaty will be observed and
the OpenDoor policy followed.
The British Government had In
sisted on ITS treaty rights and refused
to admit that Japan had the right to
be the sole arbiter OF what was good
or bad for China. The United States
aligned herself with Great Britain,
making a strong declaration for the
and obligations In China. 1t was the
first concrete stand taken by the
Roosevelt Administration in support
OF the KellogglBriand Treaty outlaw
ing a and while considerate In
tone, It was positive in insisting upon
observance Of international law and
all treaty rights and obligations tn
reference to China.
Officials here were satisfied. 1t
seems. with the assurances given by
Japan In regard to her Hands ON
China" policy, but the position OF
this country was firmly stated In
order to prevent the idea that silence
was acquiescence in the Japanese
position.
William Green, president OF the
American Federation Of Labor. In
sists that the employment program
has come to a dead stop. He points
out that while three million men have
been reemployed under the industrial
codes, something like ten million are
still without employment and receive
support through emergency employ
ment or relief funds. He specifically
asked the President to get behind
legislation making thirty hours the
standard work week for industry,
which, he said, represented the I'M
anfmous demand OF labor all over
thecountry.

ENOUGH FOOD FOR EVERYBODY

At one time last summer during
the worst drought in our history it
looked very much like the old Army
cry, when do we eat," would be-
come exceedingly familiar this win
ter. But thanks to the weather man
and Divine Prudence the drought
was ended before it affected mater
tally the food supply of the nation as
a whole. There is no denying that
the drought and high temperatures
of last spring and summer reduce
the production of food crops in many
of the Central and Rocky Mountain
states, but much of this reduction
has been Offset to large extent by
bountiful production in the Eastern
and Far Western states and by carry
over stocks from previous years.
According to DR.. Mordecai Ezekiel,
economic adviser to the Secretary of
Agriculture, last summers drought
was worse than any famine in Russia
in rent years, but because of our well
equipped transportation system we
have been able to conquer the pos
sible shortage of food in any one
section.
Principally to relieve the anxiety
of some folks and to hit at food
speculation and boarding the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics of the De-
partment of Agriculture has made a
survey of the national food supply
for 1934-1935. The findings of this
survey show that no one will have to
starve. The nations food supply as
a whole will be ample this fall and
winter.

WALNUT CROP MAY ADD TIDY
SUM TO FARM FAMILY
INCOME

Maryland farmers who are fortu-
nate enough to have black walnut
trees on their property should take
advantage of a good crop and good
prices and add to the family income
this year by disposing of the crop of
nuts as soon as possible, says w. w.
Simonds, acting forester for the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension Ser
vice. The crop this year, it is
stated, will exceed $4,000 bushels,
and with prices from thirty to sixty
cents pound wholesale, this would
net considerable sum to enterpris-
ing land owners. The Baltimore
market alone requires 100000
pounds of walnut kernels, $50 of
which are imported from other
states. This is the equivalent of
more than 10000 bushels of walnuts,
which Maryland farmers could, but
do not, supply.
Mr.. Simonds says that while black
walnut trees are sometimes aSSoc1-
ated with trees in the forest, they
are found more often in ravines and
along fence rows on the farm. For
this reason, he points out, walnut
trees should rightly be reckoned
more as an orchard crop and in this
connection, walnut plantations are
being set out for nut growing. When
set out for this purpose, the improv-
ed varieties of budded or grated
stock are used and the plantation
is treated much like an orchard.
Complete information on the col
lection and marketing of black wal
nuts may be obtained from circu-
lar issued by the University of Mary
land and the State Department of
Forestry. Copies Of this circular
may be obained from either the Uni
versity. at College Park. or the De-
Rar.ment Of Forestry at baltimore.

Trained to Save Lives

First aid certificates were issued by
the Red Cross last year to 130,972 per
sons who finished the course of instruc
ton put on by the chapters. Included
In this list were more than 10000 fore
men. time clerks and other key en-
ployes on Federal Civil Works projects.
Further evidence of the governments
endorsement of the first aid program
is found in projects now under way
where Red Cross chapters. at the re.
quest of the War Department, are Civ.
ing first aid instruction in CCC camps.
Where it has been requested by Army
engineers the same instruction is also
made available to key men working
on federal water conservancy and flood
control projects.

WILL ASK AID ON PROBLEMS

Governor-elect Harry w. Nice
states that he is going to call on
Governor Richie, also President
Roosevelt, TO help him with the
problems that will face the admins
tration when he takes office next
January.
The Republican Governor-elect
amplified statements made in let
ter to the Governor in reply to a
telegram of congratulations on his
victory last Tuesday.
In that letter Mr.. Nice asserted
that he ppreciated ito the fullest
extent" the Governors offer of laid
and assistance in solving the serious
problems which will confront me
during the next four years"
81 am going to call on Governor
Ritchie," said Mr.. Nice. Il am go
ing to call also on the President and
on the Democratic Senators from
Maryland, on Mayor Jackson and, in
fact, on every State and municipal
agency in Maryland to help in feed
ing the hungry and finding work for
the unemployed. This problem OF
feeding the hungry and finding work
for the unemployed and the question
of taxation are not political affairs.
II am going to call on every citi-
zen who think can be of assistance.
And I'm not going to call on them
in the name of Harry Nice, or ask
them TO do it for Harry Nice. I'm
going to call on them to do it for the
State of Maryland as a duty they owe
their fellow-citizens.
The Governor-elect also announced
that he was prepared to cooperate
with the New Deal Administration at
Washington.

CONCERN OVER FUTURE OF AAA
PROGRAM VOICED

With the increasing amount of
criticism of the AAA program, to-
gether with a noticeable tagging of
interest by growers themselves in
some sections of the country, the Ad-
ministration' attitude toward con-
trolled agricultural production is
taking on new significance.
Both Secretary Wallace and Ches-
ter c. Davis, Administrator of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act, are
scheduled to outline the Administra-
tons future policies under The AAA,
at the American Farm Bureaus an
nual convention at Nashville next
month.
From a statement issued by Mr..
c. E. Wise, Jr., Secretary of the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation,
it is apparent that some of the farm
organizations, as well as the more
serious-minded farm elements, are
feeling some concern for the future
of the Adjustment Act.
I'VE of the Farm Bureau" the
statement reads, do no. hesitate to
confess a feeling of concern for the
future of the AAA, and that the re-
tention of the Act may indeed be
deciding factor between two different
economic levels in America"
1--WE are not contending," the
statement continues, that the AAA
in it's present form is perfect mech
anism; nor do we say that some of
the charges of arbitrary procedure
in the application of it are wholly
unwarranted. But the basic ques
ton before us is whether legisla-
tive act which was designed to sub
due chronic, competitive overproduc-
ton of certain farm crops, and to
achieve parity for agriculture gen
orally, and which seems in fair way
of doing so, is to be allowed to be
impaired or destroyed. This is
what is making the pronouncement
of the Administrations attitude to-
ward it eagerly awaited and is claim
ing the attention of serious minded
farmers everywhere"

RED CROSS AGENCIES
SAFEGUARD HEALTH
First Aid, Life Saving, Nursing
Care, Promote Health
and Safety

Five outstanding services make up
the health-conservation program Of
the American Red Cross, according to
the annual report just issued in Wash
ington. These services are first aid
and life saving, which together have
trained more than a million persons;
nursing, with an active enrolment Of
36,133 registered nurses; Public Health
Nursing, conducted by $50 nurses in
424 chapters last year; and Home
Hygiene, which has taught more than
100000 men and women simple ways Of
caring for the sick at home.
"The achievements of the Red Cross
in public health nursing place it
among the leaders in this field" said
James L. Fieser, vice chairman in
charge of domestic operations. "This
service was organized in 1919 to meet
needs developed by the World War
and the ravages of the flu epidemic
which in 1918-1919 took so great toll
of life.
"Since that time Red Cross nursing
services have been pioneers in more
than one half of the counties in the
United State. Many services we estab-
lished were taken over later by civic,
state and federal agencies, and the
Red Cross continues to establish serv-
ices in other new fields. Red Cross
nurses made more than a million visits
to patients last year, and 629,O25 chill
dren in schools were inspected.
"Red Cross courses in home hygiene
and care of the sick are especially i'm
portant in times of depression, because
they teach families to maintain n.y.
gienic conditions in their own homes
and to recognize symptoms of illness
early enough to prevent serious con-
sequences.
Our courses in first aid have been
instrumental in saving lives of the in
jured; in safeguarding the accident
victim until the physician arrives, and
in reducing time lost by workers in
factories, mines and other industries.
We are also giving the course extern
sively to police and fire departments
throughout the country, and to state
highway patrols"
Everyone is invited to join the Red
Cross during the annual membership
roll call which continues from Armis-
tice Day to Thanksgiving, to have
part in the health program and the
other humanitarian services of the Red
Cross.

FIGHT FOR G. 0. p. CONTROL

FIGHT FOR G. o. p. CONTROL
A struggle for control of what is
left of the Republican party, a strug-
gle more grim than any experienced
since the deadly duel between the
Roosevelt and Taft elements in 1912,
is just ahead.
The Old Guard in the party-the
conservatives who dominate most of
the local Eastern organizations
have no thought of surrendering
The progressives or semi-progres-
sives of the Interchangeable
Pinchot type, are determined upon a
general reorganization of the party
on liberal lines.
AS politicians drift into Washing
ton from the battlefields of the last
election, it becomes more evident
than ever before that there is an ir-
|reconcilable difference between these
two forces and that one or the other
must be voted down and deprived of
the power to fix party policies.
How this battle to salvage the
remnants of the Republican organi-
zaiton will come out, nobody can
quite foresee just now, but the best
guess is that the leaders of the ex-
treme right wing of the party will
find themselves outnumbered and
outpointed when the showdown
comes.
1t also is probable that they will
find themselves, in the end, in close
alliance with the bourbons of the
Democratic party, and marching I'M
der the banner of the American Lib
erty League or some similar organi-
zation.
The Liberty League already is
preparing to enter the 1896 fight
1t is collecting large sums of money
for use during the coming two years.
Its members, who are large employ
ers, are calling upon their employees
both TO join the league and to con-
tribute. A fund of from 100000
to $40, 100000 is counted upon with
which to fight the New Deal, a monu-
mental sum compared with the few
thousands of dollars which the old
party national committees were able
to raise for the last campaign.

War Veterans Problems
Increase

Last year American Red Cross chap
tiers dealt with the problems of nearly
100000 veterans and their families.
The workers find that as the years go
on their responsibility increases rather
than decreases. Changes in legislation.
the increasing age of veterfns and the
consequent increase in physical ills.
bring new needs for sympathetic treat
mel. by trained Red Cross workers. In
addition to this service to veterans the
Red Cross served as the official medium
between the people and the men in mill
tary and naval service. giving aid
through this service last year to 6.979
men in the army, navy and marine
corps.

while twenty-five boroughs and
thirty townships approved granting
of licenses.
The State liquor stores were not

DRUNKEN DRIVERS ROLLING UP
BIG BILL OTHERS MUST PAY

Sober automobile drivers, as we'll
as those not so sober, may have to
pay more for casualty insurance in
the future as the result of drunken
driving which is on the increase since
repeal, it is declared by insurance
executives.
The number of accidents deter
mines the trend of rates, they ex-
plain, and If the curve of mishaps
continues to mount, so will the price
of insurance policies.
"a new and startling situation, "
arising since repeal, was called 10
the attention of the Illinois Chamber
of Commerce recently by Mr.. James
S. Kemper, president of the Lumber
mans Mutual Casualty Company
Damage from liquor during prohibi.
ton was deplorable, he said, but the
present situation is much worse.
"All were shocked by deaths re-
sulting from speakeasy raids and the
drinking of poison alcohol under pro
hibition," said Mr.. Kemper. And
yet what do we find today? AS COM
pared with the occasional loss of life
from these causes during prohibition,
we are now killing every day at least
10 times as many persons (above the
already terrific stree. and highway
toll) not perhaps so much because Of
prohibition repeal as from improper
regulation of the liquor traffic.
SIN far too many cases these
deaths are among the young men
and women and children of our cities
and towns"
Mr.. Kemper has spoken in num-
Der of insurance meetings recently
urging members of his profession %
give attention to the part unregulat-
ed liquor sales play in the climb of
the highway accident rate.
Another insurance official testify
ing to the trouble caused by increas-
ed drinking among automobile driv-
ers is Mr. H. A. Behenrs, president
of the Continental Casualty Com
pany. The accident rate is being
driven up, he said, both by drinking
and by small high-speed cars. Just
what proportion of the blame should
be borne by liquor, what by speed, is
a matter now being worked out by
the complicated statistical machinery
used by insurance concerns to make
rates. Mr.. Behrens said that while
he could not say with assurance
whether the fast cars or the alcohol
were the mere 20 blame, he was GER
tain that the worst possible enemy to
highway safety Was the small fast
car in the hanls of the drunken
driver.
