A S A general thing, all this talk
n about "Hoozis being confident
II of winning" is at least partly
4 u bunk.
Even when he had a 6h-
game lead, Mickey Cochrane ad-
mitted he was far from being conf
dent.
But the strange part of the welter-
weight situation is that both Jimmy
McLarnin and Barney Ross are con-
fident-and they mean it.
McLarnin feels certain that, with
his added weight-up to lat pounds
he will punch Ross full of holes.
And Ross is just as confident he
once more will outspeed McLarn1n,
with several laps to spare.
Ross agrees with Mickey Cochrane
that speed is usually the telling factor
At the last meeting, was among
those who thought Ross won by sew
eral leaps and dashes.
Gene Tunney was among those who
thought McLarnin should have got
the call.
Tunney had a flock of supporters
who figured that James of Island did
all the leading and the forcing.
This is what helps to make the
next meeing an interesting spot in
the busiest month sport has seen in

THE PROFIT IN MILK

XNTITNEssEs before senate agriculture
w committee meeting recently revealed
conditions that make imperative thorough
investigation of the milk situation in the
United States
William E. ODonnell, speaking for the
New York emergency conference of consumer
organizations, said that dairymen of the
Empire state get from Is to cents a quart
for their milk, consumers pay IL to 16 cents.
distribution cost of 200 per cent is average
Dairyman Felix Piseck said New York
farmers are taking a 60-cent loss on every
100 pounds of milk, are 40 per cent over
produced, face determination. Others told of
a combine of five big processing and distribut-
ing concerns called the milk trust" of con-
troll of city distribution by means of ownership
of pasteurization plants, of the experience of
Chicago, where farmers have set up their
own plants and are selling milk to consumers
at from 65 to cents quart.
We must have cheaper milk. There are
said to be 100000 children of school and pre-
school age now suffering from malnutrition.
Milk consumption goes up when milk prices
go down, and vice versa. On the other hand,
the 4,5OO,0 900 farmers for whom milk is their
only cash crop can not be made to produce at
a loss. Apparently too much is going to the
middlemen. Why should New Workers pay 13
cents quart for milk, Chicagoans 6.5 cents?
There are two resolutions pending in con-
gress calling for a nationwide study of milk
distribution. One is the McCarran resolution
for a senate investigation; the other the Kip
pelman resolution, calling for probe by the
federal trade commission. In spite of opposi-
ton from the distributors one of these reso-
lutionS should be voted.

REAL GIFT TO MOTHERS

ONE of the tragic things about Mothers
~ day is that we usually are content to let
it 60 by without paying more than a formal
tribute We send flowers or candy or some
other form of greeting, but ignore the way
in which we could really make the day sig
nificant.
Mrs Shepherd Krech, president of the
Maternity Center Association of New York,
points out that 10000 women who could be
saved by adequate maternity care die in child
birth each year in the United States; and
she suggests that spirited campaign to end
these deaths would make an admirable Moth
er's day observance.
Practicing what she breaches, Mrs. Krech
this year induced many American Legion
posts, Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions Clubs to
cooperate in such a campaign. It's first
rate idea; Mothers day would be far more
significant if it could be followed up, year
after year, in a conscientious manner.

it seems also to have changed the

thoughtful person that there is altogether too
much talk about what their children owe
them, and about what they owe their children
until you would almost think that formal
bill had been drawn up by lawyers, with in
terest running at so much year and with
host Of qualifying clauses designed to balance
the debts equally
For while these debts are very real, they
never are the kind that can be reduced to
black and white indeed, they are likely to
vanish altogether if you try to examine them
too closely
What does a young man owe to his par
ents? Why, nothing at all-if he doesn't
feel the reality Of his debt in his own heart.
They brought him into the world without
asking him about it--true enough; it's up to
them to feed him and shelter him and care
for him generally until he's able to go it
alone.
But you can't skeletonize it like that. For
parents have a way of giving gospel measure
in such things. They add trimming cup of
love and kindness and forbearance that is not
nominated in the bond and that can never
be paid back.
They don't have to do that; they do it be-
cause the human race is, after all, little
higher and finer than the beasts of the field.
A flip young man can say that he owes his
parents nothing, and in a way he will be
telling the truth.
But that only SKINS the surface. Beneath
there is a debt that no set of books devised
can ever balance.

Spelling A STORY

A STORY which long has been relshed by
n tourists visiting the east Tennessee
mountain is that of the farmer who broke his
neck
How did it happen?" you are supposed to
ask
He was blowing his corn patch and fell
out"
1t is the purpose of the Tennessee Valley
Authority to spoil this story. Not to show that
the incident could not have happened, for they
ind many slopes of an angle up to rs per cent
under cultivation and one slope of SS per cent
planted in corn.
They are going to spoil the story to keep
a great dam from being spoiled.
The people of the United States are spend
ing about $38,OO0OOo to build the Norris DAM
The best of engineering brains, hired without
regard to politics, are building as fine struc-
ture as human genius can produce.
Yet, unless something is done, that dam will
be about per cent less efficient one year after
it is completed. That is rough estimate of
the depreciation suffered by the average hy-
droelectric dam from the deposit of silt in the
lake behind it.
That silt is washed down into the lake
from plowed hillside fields which should never
have been farmed.
So the IVA proposes to reforest half mil
lion acres in the watershed above Norris dam.
Before man cut the trees and allowed the soil
TO wash away those streams we're clear; they
can be made clear again.
Not only will this new forest protect the
investment in the DAM it will also protect the
soil; it will take out of cultivation farm land.
of which we have too much, and add to our
forest area, of which we do not have enough.
There will be a new story to be told in the
east Tennessee hills. In fact it already has
been told by farmer, commenting on the eff
feet of dams erected on his hillside farm to
check soil erosion. He said to Gus Lentz,
planting chief of the iva, as Mr.. Lentz tells in
American Forests:
Yves, sir The water used to run off and
now hit walks off,"
Which suggests that a thief runs. and the
fast running water which washes away the
hillsides is a thief which runs away with our
precious. irreplaceable soil.

AN IMPRESSIVE ACHIEVEMENT

DY passing the stock market bill, the senate
~ placed the rose leaf on the trimming
bumper" of American financial reforms.
It is an impressive record: The Glass
Steagan law, reforming the federal reserve
and requiring banks to divorce investment
afiliates; the guaranty Of bank deposits up to
s2500; the truth-in-securities act, and now
stock market control law. In the legislative
mill are the municipal bankruptcy bill, the
corporate reorganization bill and the measure
to extend government loans to industry.
An awakened public opinion has been the
driving force behind this legislative program
In the chaos of the first few months of the
Roosevelt administration, the people and the
congress followed without question the lead Of
the man in the White House. But that has not
been true of the stock market legislation.
The people and congress have followed the
President with eyes wide open. and piercing
the propaganda of Wall Street.
Leader Smell led the house Republicans in
opposition to the bill. A few days later, leader
McNary led senate Republicans in support Of
the bill The explanation of that lies not only
in McNarys greater social vision, but also in
his superior political judgment.
Passage of the stock market bill demon
strates that the people 70 not want to go back
to the uncomfortable speculation of the Cool
idge era. that the people intend the prosperity
of the future shall not be mythical and COL
lapsible prosperity
A few differences between the house and
senate bill remain to be adjusted. The house
bills specific margin requirements and definite
pronouncement of policy may be preferable
TO those of the senate bill. Also, the house
bills delegation of administrative power to the
tried and proved federal trade commission may
be better than the senate bills creation of
new exchange commission. On the other hand,
the senate bills listing requirements may
furnish investors with more adequate informa-
ton and protection.
But these are details. The important thing
is that strong bills have been passed by both
houses and out of the two measures will come
a law giving to the government the power to
prevent the siphoning of the nations credit into
channels of speculation as we'll as to protect
investors from stock market rigging and
manipulation.

BREASTING THE WAVES

ENGLANDs income from her shipping ex-
~ ceeds that from any visible exports
steel. textiles, coal or other goods. The king
dom has 81 500, 100000 invested in the trade;
before the war British tonnage was Al per cent
of total world tonnage.
Now, however, things have changed. Brit
ish tonnage is only u per cent of the world
total; such foreign nations as the United
States, France and Japan have used subsidies
lavishly to develop their own shipping, and in
that fact is one of the major explanations for
Britain's protracted industrial slump.
Yet it probably would be premature to sing
a swan song for EnglandS maritime pre-emi-
nence. The English have had centuries of ex-
perlence on deep water. Building and using
ships is, by now, almost second nature to
them.
British shipping may be in a decline just
now; in the long run it is very likely to
maintain its proud and lucrative position.
The English get into slumps. but they have
an uncanny knack for holding on tight and
coming out of them stronger than ever before.
