Poland Goes Far Beyond NRA in Hell ping
Weak Industry to Gain Economic Foothold

"unfavorable" balance of imports
over exports has been reduced.
EFFORTS are being made to
IL stimulate farm prices and to
keep industrial prices down. The
latter deflationary tendency re-
suits from Poland's still being on
the gold standard. This makes it
difficult for Poland to compete in
the world market with countries
which have devaluated their
money, such as Belgium.
The governments effort chiefly
is to coordinate prices to stim-
ulate production, according to
Lane. The basic industries are
all "cartoliZed ed''-organized for the
control of both production and
prices under extensive government
supervision.
With this cOntrol-and with an
economic expert, Vice Premier
Kwyatkowski, high in government
councilS-the government eXer-
cises a wider power over business
and trade than has been dreamed
of in the United States.
The country is acutely conscious
of the need of industrial develop
ment, Lane said. This was DEM

known Presidents to get by without beng required
to submit to any such examination

CCIENTISTS of the Smithsonian Institution are

the rock matriX from of the most interesting

almost complete skeleton of the clumsy "ee

gion of Wyoming 600O0000 years ago.
The skeleton obtained by Charles w. Gill
more curator of vertebrate paleontoogy at the
United States National Museum
"Eephant-bear" is an ineXaCt name since the
creature had ancestral relationship to either the
bear or the elephant of today. 1t is picturesque
however, and more easily remembered than the
scientific name of Coryphodon.
In appearance, the creature resembled an enor-
nous bear with feet somewhat like those of an ee-
phant. The feet apparently represent a transition
between those " the bear and the elephant At one
time students of paeonology thought that the crea-
ture must have had the hind feet of bear and the
front feet of elephant, but this notion is not
borne out by the present skeleton.
The coryphodon was about the size of an OK
For defense it had two sharp tuSkS. some eight inches
long projecting from its jaws. 1t possessed tail of
medium length and probably walked with a slow
shufling gait like that Of the preSent-day elephant
Whether not the body covered with fur

Immediately after birth a newly born baby should

NTASHINGTON, Nov. 13. =
W Poland, many of whose
people are so poor that they split
matches in three, is going further
into economic planning and re-
organization than this country
did in NRA.
This is the word brought back
by Clayton Lane, United States
commercial attache at Warsaw
for the last seven and one-half
years, now assigned to the Com
merce Department here for staff
work
Poland, since it was re-estab-
liShed at the close of the World
War, has been preoccupied with
political problems until recent
months when economic reorgani-
zation has been pushed to the
top.
It's National Economic Bank,
like our RFC, is stimulating weak
industry by making medium and
long-term loans. particularly in
steel, coal, chemicals, textiles and
construction. Construction aid is
chiefly aimed at promoting CO.

has been built from a mere fishing
village into thriving eXport-im-
port center. A second liner is
also being built in Italy for Po-
land, but some question has arisen
as to whether the Italians will
deliver it or use it for their own
purposes in the present crisis.
WITH all these achievements
w and ambitions, the Polish
living standard is very low COM
pared with that in the United
States, Lane said. The large
peasant class has none of the
modern comforts. Even in the
cities, where electricity is gen.
orally used, there are practically
no electric appliances, such as
irons and refrigerators, and very
few automobiles. But after long
neglect, a road program is being
pushed.
Consumption of tea, sugar. al
cohCl and other foods common in
this country is also very low, but
generally speaking good food is
cheap and plentiful, he said.
Lane commented that he has
often seen hunters and others in
this country conserve matches by
splitting them in two, but in Po-
land it is a frequent occurrence
to split matches in three-anG use
each third.
