Washington, Nov 23.-There is a definite though carefully hushed-up difference of opinion between the State Department and some members of the Agri- cultural Department on the question of credits to Germany.
 That country, hitherto, has been one of our biggest buyers of raw cotton. In the 1933- 34 season, Germany took eight per cent of the total crop. This vera she will take only half that.
 Synthetic fibre, Germany claims, can replace cotton un- less the United States is will- ing to cooperate.
 'Cooperation" means either credits or reciprocal trade. As an illustration, she already has done some shrewd swapping with South America. A shipload of German machinery was swapped for Argentine hides. The same commodity paid for q German-built oil tanker.
 Some of Henry Wallace's boys would like to do the same thing. They would like to promote Ger man purchases of cotton through granting credits. They say the cotton exports are in serious need of stimulation.
 But the State Department, so far has been opposed. Not only has Germany defaulted on her governmental debts to the United Staets, but she has refusced American bondho1ders the same treatment which she gives Bri- tish, Dutch and Swiss bondhold- CTS.
 Secretary Hull is not feeling in kindly mood toward Ger many.

 An artist is making a bust of Harry Hopkins, dynamic dictator of Federal Relief. When he is not working on it, the unfinished head stands on work bench in Hopkins office swathed in damp cloths.
 A friend, paying a call, asked the, frank-spoken EZRA boss how the figure was coming out.
 "Well," replied Harry, "from the present looks of the thing, it will make a swell headstone for the now defunct republican party"

Hergesheimer Scans The Past Once More
By BRUCE CATION

Joseph Hergesheimer returns to
 the pitching rubber with a new
 novel, "The Foolscap Rose," and
 1t is this reporters melancholy
 duty to report that he seems to
 have left his game in the club
 house. The hop, as you might say, Is missing from his high hard one. Here we have an extensive his- torical novel of the panoramic type. It deals with the fortunes of Pennsylvania family engaged, since the Revolution, in the manu- fracture of paper; and 1t traces the slow steps by which an honest
 craftsmanship gives way to de- sire for financial power, so that the making of paper eventually be- comes a sideline in the adminis- tration of vast and complex for tune.
 It is, thus, a discussion of chang ing times, an analysis of the shift in viewpoint and ideals which has taken place in this land in the last century. Through it there runs MT Hergesheimer's familiar yearning for an older, simpler, and more straightforward society. The early days of the republic seem to lie under a magic haze.
 All of which, of course, is fair enough. It can be highly profit able for us to contemplate the way in which we have changed, to mediate on those virtues which
 our forefathers had and which we
 seem to lack.
 My objection is that Mir Her. gesheimer hasn't blown the breath of life into his story. His story simply lacks human interest. His people don't catch our sympathies.
 Before you reach the end, you can't remember who. in all this complex tale, Is who. Nor do you care much.

 No New Dealer, therefore, went to work more on the spot than Joe Kennedy. Several mem- bers of the SEC were openly hostile. The press was prepared for war. It was a real test, and Kennedy met it in this way:
 "BOys," he said to his col. leagues tand newsmen, "I've got nine kids. The only thing l can leave them that will mean anything is my good name and reputation. I intend to do that, and when you think I'm not do. ing so, you sound off,"
 In the months that have passed no one has sounded off.
 JOHNSON ACT
 Some of those sitting in high places in the State and Treasury departments are getting slight- ly 5ittery regarding the credit which the Federal Reserve ad- vanced to Belgium to keep her on the gold standard.
 What is haunting them Is the spectre of the Johnson Act. This provides that no money shall be lent to foreign governments which have not paid their war debts.
 Belgium has been fin default for more than 8 year.
 Officials seek to justiry the credit on the grounds that the United States merely purchased Belgian gold. But the catch is that the gold still remains in Belgian vaults. It is not in the possession of the United States.
 Moreover, the United States is not on the gold standard and has no particular reason to go to bat for gold standard nations.
 There may be some explaining necessary when Congress con.

The Farm Credit administration reports a sharp upturn this fall in farm buying. Most of the purchases are small farms bought by city dwellers looking for self-sustaining homes. In certain sections in California, sales have almost reached boom proportions. Government auth orties attribute to this develop ment the marked improvement in farmers incomes.

We wonder if this new express road that is going to pass through Connecticut on its way from Boston to Washington might not be incorporated into the "tour way chain recently proposed down in New York The 'tour way'' chain is simply a series of roads connecting our national parks with metropolitan areas and making them more available to the average motorist. Unfortunately there are so fewnational parks in the East that we're afraid it could not be linked with the proposed route through Connecticut. Both are immense projects, entailing heavy expenditures, perhaps assuring many jobs.

The famous Hindu rope trick has failed. In the clear cold light of the stage it did not deceive the audience, simply be- cause based on trickery the proper set tings failed when the magician endeavored to perpetrate the hoax on his audience. His particular method was the use of cer- tain lights to cover up manipulation of wire that made the rope ascend into thin air. He probably will lose his standing among magicians for this faux-pas.
