~ ILLIONS for relief, billions for
- public works, billions for the
farmers, billions for the
~ drought sufferers, billions and
still more billions, spent or
to be spent, all coming from the
deep pockets of Uncle Sam. This is
the impression that the average news
paper reader has of the financial side
of the New Deal.
What, then, is he to do when on the
same day he is assured by Postmaster
General Farley that the Roosevelt
administration is spending less than
did the Hoover administration, where
as Republican Spokesmen insist that
the New Deal is costing the voters
of the country $4,000, 100000 sum
larger than the entire national debt
before Mr.. Roosevelt took ofhce-a
sum large enough to fightrtwo World
Wars? The Secretary Of the Treasury
publishes an impressive list Of Gov
ernment loans which he euphemisti-
cally calls assets" He labels also
as an asset" the tidy little So
called profit" of s2,5oO, 900 900 which
resulted from President ROOSEVELT s
devaluation of the dollar. mot a
profit but a STEAL" say some of the
Republicans. mot a profit at ALL"
say others. "It is merely a 'write-up'
of imaginary receipts for bookkeeping
purposes"
At the same time Western Senators
call for an additional $4,000, 900 900
worth Of public works; Southern SEN

Average Man Still in Dark.
Is it to be wondered that Mr..
Average Citizen, trying to make his
New Deal dollars stretch out enough
to cover the mounting cost Of living,
throws up his hands in despair and.
taking refuge in his belief that Presi-
dent Roosevelt wants to do the right
thing by the country, is content to
leave 1t to him to unravel this billion
dollar tangle of conflicting assertions
and explanations? IT can't make head
or tail out of it'll" Is the usual re-
action.
To date the administration has
done little to help the average citi-
zen understand what is happening
to all these billions. The extrava
CANT claims Of those Republicans who
have tried to give the impression that
the New Deal has cost to date more
than the national debt piled up dur
ing $50 years before Roosevelt IF. d.
have merely confused the public.
The Democrats in denying these pre-
posterous claims have not over
looked the chance to give the impress
sion that the Roosevelt administra-
ton is in reality economical in its
expenditures. But while the Farleys
and the Morgenthaus have been
stressing the administrations econ
omies, the Democratic campaign
managers have been pointing out
to their speakers that the New Deal
has brought many millions of money
into each State, and that no wise

voter would bite the hand that feeds
him. In other words, the Democrats
have talked poor to the business men,
but rich to the politicians.
The facts about the cost of the
New Deal are hard to get at. In
brief, they appear to be as follows:
The so-called Ordinary budget
covering all the usual costs of the
Federal Government is about the
same under the Roosevelt admins
tration as during the last two yesrs
of the Hoover regime, even though
by judicious bookkeeping it has been
made to seem less. In other words,
the upkeep of the Government ma
chinery-Army, Navy, Congress, the
departments, etc.-is about as usual.
Some Billion Dollar Deals.
But the administration has jumped
together under the heading of emer-
gency expenditures all of the agencies
of relief and recovery under the New
Deal. To pay for this total of about
ST., SOC, ,000, 900 has been appropriated,
sum covering the period until June
80 next, and equal to half our ma
tional debt. About half Of this vast
sum has already been spent. In ad-
dition, the Government has assumed
responsibility in the form of "con-
tingent liabilities" for about $8,000,-
10000 of loans to farmers, home
owners and other citizens. Only
about a quarter of this amount has
yet been advanced. None of it has

Recent Textile Strike i'm u. S. Spurred
Increase of Looms in Other Countries

GENEVA.-Labor disputes in one
part of the world almost always have
q definite and immediate reaction in
other industrial countries, according
to observations of experts at the in
ternational labor office and in the
financial and economic section Of
the League, and consequently strikes
in the United States are closely
watched.
One effect of the curtailment of
production in the New England and
Southern cotton districts due to the
recent textile strike was an accelera-
ton of textile work in England, Russia
and the Orient, it Is reported. Many
idle looms were being reconditioned
on the theory that the truce" in the
American industry was merely lull
before another storm.
Ofiicial figures received here show
that 28,809 looms were closed down in
the principal cotton-cloth countries
between January, 1881, and January,
1884. At the beginning Of this year
there were 3,129,969 looms, as COM
pared with 3.158,778 three years be-
fore.
Europe has lost 81 7.646, Britain, 104,-
935, and the United States Of America,
85,322 over the same period. The in
creases of looms operating in Russia,
China, India and Japan, however,
practically Offset the losses in other
countries.
While the United States still leads
all countries with 613,633 looms op-
Grating at the beginning of this year,
England is a close second with 587 ,964.
Japan comes third with 277 7,343, as
against the 1s8,466 which she had at
the beginning Of 1881. Russia now

Poland Key to Mid-Europe
Alliance With Germany and Italy Regarded Probable.

Poland would be exceedingly difficult
If the Poles insisted upon fighting to
preserve their neutrality. With Their
rear safe, the Nazis believe that even
now they can put up q good fight
against the French.
The third angle to the hypothetical
triangle which European diplomats
are discussing deals with Italy. Here
too, the reasons for a rapprochement
with the Germans are clear. Aside
from his quarrel with Hitler over Aus
tria, Mussolini has no reason to re-
gret his previous sympathy for Nazi-
ism, of which Fascism was the spirit
ual godfather. The Nazi political
credo Is his own, albeit in q more
vicious form than Fascism of today
There are signs that the Nazis already
are seeking to rebuild their entente
cordiale with Rome both by giving as
surances to MusSolini that Austria's
nominal independence will be re-
spected and to the Catholic Church
promises that German Catholics will
hereafter be unmolested. If Germany
wants to regain the Saar in the Janu-
ary plebiscite 1t is imperative that
Berlin make peace with the Vatican
About 100000 Of the population Of the
Saargebiet (73 per cent of the voters)
are devoutedly and disciplinedly Cath
olic, and with one word from the
priesthood or Vatican they will turn
thumbs down on Nazi Germany. The
church also plays strong role in Aus
tria, where it can do much toward
bringing about the restoration of the
Hapsburgs, which the Nazis oppose
If Berlin Is to advance her mid
European policy it is necessary to work
with both Warsaw and Rome, and the
Vatican Is strong in either capital.
France Not I'm High Favor.
It is preposterous to believe that
Italy's recent enthusiasm for rap
prochement with France is more than
skin-deep. Mussolini's entire political
psychology, in which he has stepped
young Italy, Is based upon Franco
italian rivalry. French democracy Is
anathema to Italians. The Austro-
German-Polish dictatorial theory Of
government dovetails with Fascist

well that his political demands on
France are unattainable In fact. Come
what may, France will not agree to
literal naval equality with Italy (Which
would mean italian domination Of the
Mediterranean. Nor would England
consent to 1t.
Furthermore, France is not going to
make any territorial concessions to
Italy in Africa or the Near East.
Rome turned toward France only when
the Teuton menace appeared on her
northeastern horizon, and Paris is well
aware Of the fact. Mussolini was furi-
GUS when the Nazis rewarded Baron
Aloisi's political juggling in the Saar

@ARIS.-Sudden shifts in the
II foreign policies Of European
governments are common these
l. days, when the political lineup
on the Continent is based
upon expediency. Few factors re-
main fundamental. Italy, Austria,
Hungary and the petite entente
about-face almost every season. Only
the Franco-British entente seems
basically sound, and that because, in
the final analysis, the common in
terests make a united front of those
two nations essential. Consequently,
the "devil-may-care" attitude that
Poland has adopted is not surprising.
1t is, however, bit mysterious, and
that is what is causing speculation
to run riot in the foreign chanceI-
leries of London, Paris, Rome, Berlin
and Moscow.
determination to go 1t alone, If 1t could
be fathomed, would furnish the key
to mid-European political develop
ments of the next few months, per-
haps. The doughty dictator's action
in throwing down the gauntlet at the
recent League Assembly, repudiating
the minorities treaty which has bound
his country since its creation at
Versailles, and turning his back upon
the Franco-R Russian proposal for an
Eastern Locarno"-a pact which
would guarantee Poland's, Russia's,
Germany's and the Baltic states from
tiers-may mean many things.
German Alliance Feared.
British diplomats fear Warsaw is
casting her lot with Germany and
Italy. in creating midcontinental
bloc reaching from the Baltic to the
Mediterranean. The object would be
to isolate Russia from Western
Europe. It is no dark secret that
Poland hateS-and fears-Soviet Rus
sia more than she does NaZi Ger
many. The Germans, in turn, despise
the Russians, fear France and are
ready to tolerate the Poles as the
lesser of three evils. The only out
standing question between the Poles
and Germans is the Corridor, which
gives the former access to the North
Sea at the expense Of separating East
Prussia from the Fatherland. A 10
year truce" between Warsaw and
Berlin has shelved the issue mo-
mentarily. Anything can happen in
10 years." a high Polish official, shrug-
ging significantly, explained to the
writer.
If Germany's antipathy for the
barrier has not disappeared in a
decade the Poles believe they can
make some other deal with the Ger
mans which will be advantageous.
That deal Is said to involve abb
sorption of Lithuania and Latvia, and
perhaps Esthonia, into a Mittel-
Europe bloc. If Finland-which is
violently snti-soviet-were ilsluded.

For Germany's anti-French, anti
Russian policy q friendly Poland at
her back is indispensable. The Poles,
friendly, would prove a formidable
buffer against the Soviets If Germany
had to fight along her Western from

would find it dificult to aid her
French ally If Poland opposed passage
of Bolshevik troops over her territory
(Which is the reason PilSudsh has
given for rejecting an Eastern Lo-

Most, If not all, Of this will probably
be repaid. The balance has gone
into direct relief (about a quarter) /,
various public works (more than a
half, including loans to States and
municipalities, and the rest for SUM-
dry purposes. In addition, about
billion dollars is being handed out
to the farmers of the country for

is covered by a so-called processing
tax it does not imply permanent in
crease in the Governments expenses.
1t forms, however, part of the cost of
the New Deal to the taxpayer.
So far so good. But three ques-
tions at once arise: How much more
will the administration spend this
year? How will these expenses be
met? What will be the effect of
these expenses?
Fresh Borrowing in Order.
The administration is authorized to
spend about as much between now
and June 30,, 1885. as it has spent to
date. About quarter of this amount
Is earmarked for the r. F. c., and If
advanced as heretofore, is likely to
be repaid. A third is earmarked for
public works. The balance will 60 for
the A. A. A. and various kinds of re-
lief. In addition, 1t is expected that
another half billion or more will be
asked for direct relief, and at least
another billion for more public works.
1t is unlikely that the Governments
contingent liabilities in the form of
underwriting loans to farmers and
others will come up to the total au-
thorization of $4,000, ,000, 900.

How Bees Sting

bees sting is very complicated, according to an American entomolo- gist, who says that bees sting is the modification of an organ common to the insect race-the ovipositor with which the female deposits the eggs. Countless ages nave changed this into an effective natural weapon, says Path- finder Magazine. Approximately 22 muscles are required to complete an ordinary sting (the number slightly larger if queen bee does the sting ing) and the act involves three sepa- rate sets of movements. First, the outward thrust of the sting; second. depression of the sting; and last, ac- tiOn of the ,ancets on the sting which drives it farther into the flesh of the victim. Retracti0n of the sting is brought about by contraction and expansion of the abdomen, which acts like a bulb. A poison-secreting organ opens directly into the channel of the sting and vaIvular lobes drive the liquid poison through it.

How Phi Delta Kappa Formed

The present fraternity known as Phi Delta Kappa grew out of the consoli- dation of three prior independent or ganizations-Phi Kappa Mu, orga- nized at Indiana university in 1906; ;t Phi Delta Kappa. organized at Colum- bia in l!H)S. and Nn Rho Beta. or ganized at Missouri in 1M9. Repre- sentatives of these societies met at ln- danapolis In 1910 and effected con- solidati0n known as Phi Delt;. Kappa. This is an educational fraternity and Is distinctly professional in character. It Is devoted to research service and, leadership in education. Membership Is honorary in character, and out standing scholarship is a major re- quirement of each candidate. The ma- jority of members are graduates at the time of election.

How Glaciers Worked to
 Dig the Basins of Lakes

Dinosaurs lived in Glacier National park at a time when the climate was almost tropical. AS mountains ap- peared, the weather grew cold. Snow at last began to fall-more snow than the summers could melt. Gathering on protected slopes. says the Ameri' can Nature Association of Washing. ton, snow slowly packed into fields Of ice. Then that ice began to move. and soon was grinding down toward the plains.
 Thus glaciers began their work work that dug the basins of lakes and steepened the slopes of ridges and peaks. At their heads. they broke away blocks of rocks, which worked their way into the ice, where they gouged and scraped at Its bottom and sides. In the valley where trails be- gin, that ice was 2,00O feet thick. What chance had mere limestone and shale against such rasp as that?
 As the climate finally began to warm, glaciers slowly melted away nn- til only remnants remained. Sixty such remnants still survive: relics of mighty streams of ice that shaped the scenery of the park.

MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE STEWART AND ALICE ARM A R E A s
 By Joseph T. Mandy
(Final Installment)

As an example of the put come of intensive work along these lines and the value of the application of the geological principles outlined, the results achieved on the Salmon Gold group in the upper Salmon Riv- CT area, the Ben Ali and Dun- we'll in the Bear River section, and the Homestake in the up, per Kitsault River Valley arc cited. On the Salmon Gold group further important dis coveries of gold bearing veins have been made; the Dunwell has been rejuvenated; the Ben Ali has responded we'll to the intensive work of lessees and on Ehe Homestake, in the Alice Arm area, important gold as- poets are emerging. Refer ence to the Ben Ali and Dun- we'll is not complete however without offering credit and commendation to the handful of Stewart prospectors whose energy and foresight in initiat- ing intensive and intelligently conducted prospecting a n d leasing operations was primari- ly responsible for indicating the profitable possibilities lying dormant in these properties, and pointing the way to simi- lar opportunities in other prop critics.
 The importance of the miner al potentialities of the Portland Canal and Mass River Mining Divisions is reflected primari- l ly in production. For the thir- teen year period from 1921 to the end of 1888 the value of the combined output from these two divisions amounted to about $10s,000,O00. Of this the Portland Canal Divis- ion is responsible for about S47,0O0,O0O and the Mass Riv- CT Division for about $61, ,000,- 900.
