BUILDING & LOAN
DELEGATES PICKED
Federal Housing Mortgage
Plan to Be Topic at
Louisiana Meeting.

Eight delegates from Washington's
building and loan institutions will par
ticipate in discussions at the annual
convention of the United States Build
at New Orleans.
The outstanding topic at the con-
vention will be the Federal Housing
Administration mortgage insurance
plan, scheduled to go into operation
next month, and how the building and
loan associations will handle it.
Washington building and loan as
sociations have been paying dividends
up to and past per cent on invest
ments during the past years, but under
the F. H. A. plan only 5 per cent can
be charged for money loaned on in
sured mortgages. Some method is ex-
pected to be devised at the convention
for meeting this situation, under which
it is claimed the lending associations
would lose money because of the low
interest rate to be offered by the pro-
posed Federal savings and loan groups.
Bergman Heads Group.
Most of the Washington delegates
are committee members or officers of
the United States League, and as such
will take an active part in discussion
of the F. H. A. plan and other matters
before the convention.
The group is headed by Carl J.
Bergman, president of the District
League of Building and Loan Associa-
tions, representing the Washington
Permanent Association, and includes
Edward C. Baltz, Perpetual, past
president of the Washington League
and a director of the United States
League; William S. Quinter, District

It would be unfortunate if the Department of Justice should not carry the MacCracken to the higher courts.
 Here is a case of a lawyer in the employ of subsidized air transport lines who failed to produce documents subpoenaed by Senate committee. Since the investigation of air mail subsidy. pacts was preliminary and necessary to enactment of air mail reforms it is obvious that the Senate obstructed in it's legislative work by the failure of the lawyer to obey the subpoena.
 It is not important whether MT. MacCracken, as an individual goes to jail No particular good came from the ten days behind the bars served by Col. Brittn, MT MacCrackens co-defendant, who had neither the money the inclination to continue to challenge the Senates authority
 But it is important that the power of Con- gressional Committees to do their work should be unmpared. Committee investigations have become essential to the functioning of Congress. Without access to the facts intelligent action is impossible In the last decade there has been little important national legislation not preceded by Congressional investigation.
 The recent three to two decision by the District Court of Appeals holding that the Senate had no authority to punish MT. MacCracken, if sustained, would weaken this indispensable power of inquiry:

Too Poor to Fight.
(New York Herald Tribune.)


 Any reason which the Japanese Finance Ministry can advance to convince its compatriots that the United States and Great Britain are not really planning military assault upon the island empire will be received readily enough here. If the Min ster MT. Takahashi, believes that Americas "econ- Ionic and financial circumstances" have been so greatly weakened in recent years as to leave us ,too poor for aggressive adventure in the Western Pacific, we shall not argue the point with him Whether the NRA5 is really a costly failure and whether the United States is in fact virtually bank rupt' knows, least of all ourselves but that we at any rate not rich enough to engage upon any unnecessary fighting is something with which leyery one vii agree. No nation ever iss
 Indeed. MT. Takahashi has some reason for his lhinted tu quoque. That colossal Japanese budget deficit, at which every was drawing such long faces a year two ago. has apparently been well lsurpassed-by the United States MT. Takahashi's budget adopted last February, carried less than l49 per cent of deficit; own actual deficit for the fiscal year just closed is now announced at the splendid figure of 56 per cent of the total expenditure. More and more often has it been pointed out in recent months how closely American financial policy, since the abandonment of the gold standard, has initiated Japanese policy since her departure from gold in 1881. Both countries show appreciated currencies, rising price of commodities in foreign trade continued low level of internal prices huge deficits amassed for public works or military expenditures, but financed without
  sorbed by the domestic capital market through the cooperation of the central banking system.
 The differences are largely in relative emphasis, and in the capacity of the underlying economic structures of the two countries to carry the ultimate burdens involved in this sort of emergency treat ment. MT Takahashi, in trying to prove that ths United States is really sunk deeply in the lpoorhouse than Japan, is not primarily interested lin the United States Whether not the United States is bankrupt he has already addressed himself ! for another year) of trying to get his country out of bankruptcy, and he is here simply endeavor- ing to undercut the chief argument wherewith his own militarists will fight the attempt If the dem onstration that America and Great Britain are on the bread line will help neither of these countries is likely to object Both will hasten to the Japanese that they utterly ncapacle of fighting any not forced upon them and that far as they are concerned the crisis of 1885" s indeed, a pure fgment of the imagination.

 Local fighters seem to be perfect ly willing, but the sailors do not appear to have any pugilists with them from what Pop has been able to learn. Inquiries have brought out the fact that they have plenty of musicians, but no prizefighters

MAN UNABLE TO START OR STOP
 RAIN.

Perhaps the people of the State of Arkansas, whole State will unite in prayer for rain, have concluded with pr. w. J. Humphreys, United States Weather Bureau scientist, that human agencies are powerless to either start stop rain. The terrific droughts of recent months brought to the front many proposed methods for artiically producing rain none of which had any practical value, and according to Dr. Humphreys, none ever tried out by man has had, the slightest effect in either producing stopping it.
 Natures method of making rain, he explains, is first to get abundance of water into the atmo- sphere by evaporation from water surfaces, ice surfaces, growing vegetation and damp soil, and then to squeeze it out by lowering the temperature
 Ordinarily there is enough moisture in the air to provide at least moderate rainfall whenever the machinery for it's condensation into randrops is working right. This machinery calls for the proper distribution and movement of air differing in density and temperature.
 Electrical devices sprnkling the clouds with dry ice starting large fires and setting off loud explo- sions, among the other rain-makng schemes sug- gested, either do not work are much too costly for practical use. All of the electrical schemes investigated by the Weather Bureau Dr. Humphreys said, are utterly useless.
 Sending cooling substances up into the clouds to rain is wrong in principle and no rain has resulted from such practices The use oi fire is correct in principle, but the cost of fire big enough to break a drought would be absolutely prohibitive

The DOcker's Strike.
(New York orld-Telegram. )

(New York World -Telegram0
 About the only social value the sangunary strike lof Pacific Coast dockmen seems to have is a warning
 This protracted and violent affair teaches the lesson the OrentaS have learned, that humans sometimes will fight harder to save their faces than to gain an economic advantage. Since May g. when the dockmen went out in demnd for union recognition and better hours and wages, both strikers and employers have been play ing face-saving game. Several times during the negotiations the belligerents have been on the point lof patching their differences. Pride always has iintervened, and with each failure mutual agreement has become more difficult. The shippers have been paying for their pride in millions sof dollars in losses. The unionists may pay in loss of their strike The climax to the long -drawnout quarrel is the very thing that neither side wanted the inter- vention of State militiamen to reopen the ports Now instead of seasoned negotiations, passion is loosed along with tear gas and gunfire 1 The public should have been in the affair as peacemaker instead of strikebreaker, armed with policemens clubs and troopers bayonets. The Fed- eral Government several times has preferred its services in mediation to no avail. But now the public is in the business it should do its policing with minimum show of force There is excuse for orders to shoot with bullets and kill with bayonets. Such orders breed more hate, spread disorder, prolong the warfare and tend to make of the strikers and their sympathizers radical and embttered enemies of society.
 Under the Presidents new labor boards there should be less of this senseless bloodettng. Il will be the Governments business to see that strikes do not reach the stage of blind unreason and tt provide forum for orderly adjustment of labor disputes. The Governments mediation machin- cry is the pubc's substitute for just such bitter wars this
