Our adjustment program must in
its very nature be kept elastic. If
or when world trade revives, we
still can use to excellent advan-
tage our new social machinery for
crop control. We can find out how
much of our crops they really
want in other countries, and at
what prices then we can take off
the brakes and step on the gas
little at a time, deliberately, not
with the reckless diSdain to world
traffic signals that we exhibited
in years past.
BY the end of 1884 we shall
probably have taken fifteen mil
lion acres out Of cotton, twenty
million acres out Of corn, and
about half a millions acres out of
tobacco. Add to that the seven
and one-half million acres that
we used to SOW to wheat and now
shall not, and you get a total of
fOrty-three million acres which
may be no longer planted to our
major export crops Forty-three
million acres is nearly one-eighth
Of all the crop land now harvested
in the United States.
WE do not claim that the &C
w ton taken under the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Act or the
National Recovery Act, or any
other Of the emergency acts, help
full as they may have been tenn
pOrarily, constitute a fundamen-
tai plan for American agriculture.
What we have done has been
frankly experimental and emer-
gency in nature, but we are work.
ing on sOmethin gthat is going to
be permanent. We are well aware
that our present machinery for
production adjustment may not be
at all like the machinery we shall
have to design and operate for the
longer future.
Using government money de-
rived from processing taxes, we
have asked the voluntary Coop
Grafton Of the American farmer in
making emergency adjustments to
present world conditions. Thus we
are sparring with the situation
until the American people are
ready to face facts. The bare, dis
tasteful facts, I mean, on such
matters Of policy as exports, i'm
ports, tariffs, international cur
rency exchange, export quotas,
import quotas and international
debts. These are the weapons of
economic warfare which are more
deadly than artillery. These eco
nomic weapons are so subtle that
they have a nasty way Of bounce
ing bac kon 70 uWith redoubled
force when you think you are us
ing them against the enemy. Fun
damentally these wepaons are
spiritual in nature, although this
is not recognized by business men
and by very few statesmen.

FASCISM MAY
SUCCEED NRA,
SAYS THOMAS
New Deal Labeled State
Capitalism in Talk
by Socialist.

BH I UiffQ HFtSS
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb. III
The new deal was described as state
capitalism which possibly may be
succeeded by Faascism" by Norman
Thomas, socialist leader, in an ad-
dress here last night.
Although praising President
Roosevelt as the most admirable
person we have seen in the White
House in many years, Mr.. Thomas
criticized the AGRICULTURAL adjust
ment act and discussed URA'S linn
itations.
THE Strengthening of little pigs
and the paying Of government sub
sides to men who will fail to raise
crops is against human history and
illogical" Mr.. Thomas said BY
reducing acreage the government
has thrown some 100000 share
farmers and farm laborers out of
work
The national recovery act is a
misnomer. 1t implies we have some
thing to recover. We can not go
back to those good old days of a
Puritan ruler in Babylon-When A.
900 900 men were out Of work and
the average income was S1,200 a
year"
Chiseling. Mr.. Thomas charged,
is more common under NRA codes
than "bootlegging was under prohi-
bitiOn."

OPEN CAPITAL
MARKET, SAYS
BANK COUNCIL
Federal Reserve Advisory
Group Is Optimistic
Over Business.

BIZ JHifCd Press
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2i-Federal
advisory council members returned
to their districts today IN an optim-
istic mood. pledging support of the
banking interests 10 the govern
ment's recovery program and sug-
costing new steps TO promote bust
ness activity.
The council. selected by the twelve
regional reserve banks to supply
advice to the reserve system, COM
pleted its quarterly meeting yester-
day more optimistic than at any
time since the start Of the depres-
sion. The organization is one Of
the most important banking bodies
in the United States.
Details Of the gathering were sup
piled by Federal Reserve Governor
Eugene r. Black, who stated that
the members were IN favor Of a
modification Of the securities act Of
1888 IN order that the capital mar
ket may be reOpened and business
supplied with the necessary funds to
carry on the recovery program.
Improved Business Reported
The members. Mr.. Black said, re-
ported large improvement" in bust
ness conditions in various parts Of
the country and increasing bank de-
posts in all banks not only because
Of government expenditures through
different channels but real up
turn in business conditions.
My personal opinion. Mr. Black
said, lis that we must open up the
capital market 4 we are to have
real recovery. We've got TO get
6.000000 men back to work"
Among notifications suggested by
the advisory council in the securi-
ties act was reduction of the pres
ent almost unlimited liability Of
corporation directors in flOtation OF
securities issues.
Mr. Black said the advisory cOun-
Gil was IN favor Of his intermediate
credit bank plan for direct loans
to small businesses under the direc-
ton OF the federal reserve banks.
Favor Long-Term Securities
Under this plan intermediate
credit banks would be set up in
each of the federal reserve bank
and branch cities and relatively
long-term capital loans made di-
rectly to small business.
Members of the council We're gen.
orally pleased with the fiscal pro-
gram of the federal government,
particularly the ability of the treas
ury to borrow large sums of money
at relatively low rates Of industry
The council believed that even
longer term securities could readily
be sold by the government and be-
lieved an adoption of this program
would prove successful.

THE LIQUID TEST

First: select a properly prepared
liquid laxative Second: take the
dose you find suited to your system.
Third: gradually reduce the dose
until bowels are moving Of their
own accord.
Simple, isn't it? And it works.
The right liquid laxative brings
thorough bowel action without
using force. An approved liquid
laxative Zone which is most widely
used for both adults and children)
is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t
is a doctors prescription, and
perfectly safe. It's laxative action
is based on SIENNA, a natural laxative;
the dose can be measured, and the

To Go so. We loaned an average
Of more than 500 million dollars
year to foreign countries. While
this false foreign marke for
American exports vase being
maintained, congress, amid gen
eral consent, twice raised tariffs.
Schedules were raised in 1922 and
again in 1890.
From 1926 on it became increaS-
inglv plai nthat modern technique
applied to agriculture and TO the
production Of other raw materials
was heaping up a worldwide
oversupply. World overproduction
played an important part in the
ever descending spiral which be-
gan in 1880.
VXTHEN the present admins
' tration came into power on
March 4. 1888, it had been for
several years apparent that there
is no longer an effective foreign
purchasing power for our custom
airy exportable surplus Of cotton,
wheat. lard and tobacco at prices
high enough to assure social sta
bility in the United States. 1t
was apparent that more than
forty million acres Of American
soil we're producing material
which could not be consumed
within the country, and which
could probably not be consumed
even were all our industrial pay
rolls again to blossom magically
to the pumped-up boom-time
levels of 1929 It was apparent
that. with things as they are and
with our inherited attitude as to
tariffs, it would be impossible to
re-establish a large American
trade abroad at once, or in the
next fe Wyears.
Accordingly, the present admin
istration is conducting an orderly
retreat from surplus acreage. In
essence, it is a program Of govern
mental adjustment payments to
cooperating farmers, reWarding a
cooperative adjustment of acre
age pro-rata, farm by farm. In
the administration Of this and Of
AUXILIARY or terrifying measures,
the Farm Act of May II, 1888
gives us wide permissive powers.
Of the present congress $3.50,
we shall probably ask amend
ments permitting an even wider,
and far more selective, retirement
of acreage on a more permanent
basis.
A T present none of our pro-
"A ductiOn schedules for export
crops will be adjusted to a strictly
domestic basis. Our foreign trade
in these crops has very seriously
dwindled, but we still have foreign
customers for cotton, tobacco and
certain foOdstuffs. We want to
keep that trade is possible and get
more foreign trade if we can. Our
immediate effort is to organize
American agriculture to reduce its
output to domestic need, plus
that amount which we can export
with profit.

RAFT VOYACERS
TELL NEW YORK
OF SHARK FIGHT
Young CaStaWayS in Port
After Exciting Sea
Adventures.
BIZ United Press


NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Jithn Pit
yer, Oklahoma City youth who with
a companion preferred to risk death
in shark-infesteds water to the
prospect of a jail term, today re-
counted his adventures on a make
shift raft off the west coast of
Mexico.
Young Pitzer, who is 10, and Ar
thur Martin, 81, native of Riga
Latvia, arrived yesterday on the
liner Santa Elena which rescued
them after they had been adrift
nearly two days. Martin was held
for questioning by Ellis island
authorities Pitzer was released.
The OklahOman related that he
and Martin slowed away aboard the
Japanese freighter Kurama Maru
at Galveston on January 25. A day
later, as the vessel was passing
through the Panama canal, they
were discovered and put to work on
deck. Then they learned the
freighter was planning a stop at
San Pedro, Cal, before proceeding
to China.
Fearing Jail, the stowaways con-
trived a raft out of five siX-foot
planks and two heavy timbers. They
put it overheard on the night Of
Feb. 5, when they thought they were
within padding distance of the
Meyicor7 nOaS+ ard leaned in after
it.
That night and all the next day
and night they drifted A half
dozen sharks swan around them.
When the Santa Elena hove into
view on the morning of Feb. 7, Pitz-
er, nearly exhausted, hailed her.
The castaways were taken aboard,
and locked in the brig.
Mariners familiar with the cur
rents off the Mexican coast said the
raft would never have reached land.

A Frank Statement Concerning
Or. CaIdweII's Syrup Pepsin


We believe the use Of pills
and tablets containing
mineral drugs is rapidly Civ
ing way to gentle regulation
of the bowels with a liquid
laxative.
We believe DR.. Caldwell's
original prescription of fresh
herbs, pure pepsin, and SIENNA
is the ideal family laxative.
And we know it is a safe
preparation for children and
expectant mothers because
it does not cause bowel strain
or irritate the kidneys.

 Traders Tried to Hold Prices But Failed


 near the close a downward reac- .tion occurred.
 A better feeling was noted as word from Washington indicated tendency toward modification ot the Fletcher-Rayburn stock ex- change regulation bill now being discussed. Business reports com tinued to show improvement in all lines.

President Roosevelt plans to di- vert for this relief the S95O, O,OO0,OOO recently appropriated by congress. He believes that sum will be suf- cient to carry the program through.
 In announcing the new program, the White House made it clear that additional responsibilities would be placed on communities to make certain those participating in work relief are actually persons in need.
 On the question of the care of needy in the rural areas, White House statement said:
 "There security must be identi fled with agriculture. They must be placed in positions of self sup port in many places of the country this calls for a change from com mercial farming and dependence upon single cash crop, to the raising of the various commodities needed to maintain the family Relief funds, therefore, will be expended on behalf of rural fami- lies in manner and to an extent that will enable them to achieve self support.

 In addition the administration is for planned distribution of the regular jobs on highways and other public work carried on in farm areas.
 In dealing with the problems of | stranded populations, the White House explained that "the soln- tlons of his problem of these fam ilies involves their physical trans planting in large majority of cases. since the areas in which they are concentrated offer neither fu. ture employment nt wages nor ops portunitics for self support through agriculture.'
