"The Reich president this morning

he fell itno a quiet sleep. His pulse
was strong although numerically
higher"
Members of Hindenburg's family
were called to the bedside.
An earlier communique said that
during recent days a slight bodily
inflrmity had been noticeable, but
that the president had recovered from
this sufficiently to attend to business
yesterday.
Condition Worse in Night.
During the night, however, the
communique added, his condition sud-
denly grew worse.
I'm view of the advanced age of the

Physicians in charge are all pre-

letin service will be maintained"
The Presidents mental abilities have
remained unimpaired, it was stated.
Should the President die, Dr. Erwin
Bumpke, president Of the German
Supreme Court, would become interim
President under the law.
A high foreign official said, how
ever:
While this law still stands don't
forget the Hitler government holds
emergency powers enabling it TO do

therefore, upon Hitler's personal will
whether the law concerning the Su-

Injected into the Austrian situation

The two Nazis executed are Otto
Planetta, a former army sergeant,

SUGGESTS BOOSTING GOLD PRICE.

Revival of rumors that President Roosevlt will shortly proclaim another increase in the price of gold is occurring in the East. The Committee for the Nation has just issued an appeal to the Chief Executive to take that step without further delay, It urged him to again unite dollar from gold so that we shall have monetary independence" It asserts the monetary policy practiced since last January has brought the present price collapse, costing $100O000 900 in commodity and security values during ten days just preceding. The Com mittee interprets the market collapse as con- sequence of siderackng domestic recovery for inter- national exchange stability thereby unnecessarily submitting markets and our recovery program to foreign and ecoonmic repercussions.
 Had the Secretary of the Treasury the Con- mittee said announced for the President that the United States was determined to protect its own values and domestic business and would unite the dollar, keep it free from entanglements, and raise the price of gold immediately under his authoriza- tion from Congress investors would have saved billions that have disappeared in single day.

eKEEpING TOURISTS AWAY


 Twenty years ago great many Yankee tourists were marooned on their summer vacations in Europe and have forgotten their narrowing exper- fences good many who were lately plan ming jaunts in Germany or Austria have just can celled of their plans to attend music festivals other attractions in those countries The irony of this is that the visitors who much courted by persistent advertising and whose spendings would greatly help depleted Teuton tills are thus scared away. fss5'
 There is deeper irony, affecting all Europe as well Germany and Austria It comes by grim joke of coincidence just when this war Scare" breaks loose.i It is contained in our Department of Commerce report that a sharp drop in spend- ingss of American tourists abroad last year, itself largely reflecting depression at home not only caused lamentaton abroad but brought about a favorable position in international accounts this country. 4E

BOOTLEGGING STILL ON VAST SCALE

Since repeal became effective Americans have consumed legal liquor at the rate of 3oOo0O0o gall Ions a year as compared to 70000000 gallons before the Prohibition era Yet this apparent decrease, there is no comfort for the temperance advocates. The decline is not in the appetite but in the volume of the legalized industry Tfte difference between the industry today and in 1920 represents what the bootleggng fraternity is selling This is the picture that was recently presented to the Governors Con ference by Administrator Choate of the Alcohol Administration. The illegal vendor is selling four gallons to every three sold by the legal dealer The latter is paying high Federal and State taxes while the bootegger pays none.
 Commenting on the situation MT. Choate told the Governors:
 If we could enable the legal industry to
 supply the demand as cheaply and to serve
 the customer at all times and places as
 much to his satisfaction as the bootegger,
 it would drive the illegal trade out of exist
 in twinkling.
 Even though a sacrifice in revenue were neces- sary to obtain that end, MT. Choate was willing to do it. It is not likely that any sacrifice would be necessary Experience has shown, as the New York Times points out, that reduced whskey taxes are reflected in larger aggregate of revenue through increased sales by legal dealers
 As it is now the Federal and State governments are responsible for the larger share of the exhorb- tant whiskey prices The President and Congress should act next Winter to correct this condition Also excessive tariffs against foreign distilled liquors should be drastically reduced

A First Duty of the State.
(New York Times.) )

No one speaks with more authority on Federal aid for schools in normal times than Dr. John J. Tigert for many years Q921-1928) the United States Commissioner of Education An article on this SUD- ject by him in The Review Of Reviews deserves special note In answer to the contention that Federal grants can be made without lmpaTlng the States control of education he says:
 Inevitably, Federal control must accom-
 pany Federal support. My experience in
 handling Federal subsidies for education,
 under the limited acts now in existence,
 taught me that you must have Federal
 control and interference or you will have
 misrepresentation of funds and waste.
 What is being given by way of Federal assist ance to schools in meeting the present emergency is primarily for relief of unemployment. But if the Federal Government were to make feature Of it's normal times policy the support of schools it would Dr. Tgert predicts be attended by decreasing support in certain States and localities Yet as he contends, under ordinary conditions there is mo necessity for Federal aid
 All the States able to maintain a uni
 form system of schools all levels from
 the Kindergarten through the university
 without severely taxing their resources.
 In 1929 State expendng more than Az per cent of it's income schools and some were spending less than per cent, the valuation of the school property being in some States less than per cent and in others scarcely over per cent at the highest. In 1930 there were some increase in the percentage of school costs, but mot sufficient to alter the situation substantially" There is, how ever great inequality in the educational provision or in the burden. The States generally tending to equalize both among the districts by making their own share larger. New York has notably in- creased her appropriation and must continue to maintain if not increase further it's part It is this situation that is making necessary the appeal to the Legislature for a greater grant from the State in aid of education The localities have generally taxed themselves up to their limit and must look to the State with it's more flexible system of taxa tion for supplement Every State has now its or ganized department for keeping in close touch with the districts. It is clearly first duty of the State to see that its schools are kept open and at their best a
