FARM CENSUS WILL RECORD
CHANGES IN LAND UTILIZA-
TTON

Although the Census of Agricul-
sure which is being taken this
month will cover. practically all of
he major items of interest to farm
9rs, the schedule will ask only about
one-third as many questions as did
he decennial census taken in 1880.
The changes in farms and ranches
md in the utilization of land will be
recorded in detail. This will show
he acreage in farms, crop land har-
rested, idle lands, crop failure, plow-
4ble pasture and other grazing lands,
woodland, and all other farm land.
The expansion of relatively new
.rops, such as the soybean and
Japanese clover, will be recorded.
these crops have been widely used
n the drought area. Measured data
IN the effects of the drought, dam
age done 20 crops, change in yield,
amount and extent of crop failure
Ind the number of livestock remain
ing in the drought area will be pro-
cured. The census will record the
changes brought about by cam
paigns for the reduction for the re-
duction of the basic commodities,
cotton, wheat, corn, rice, tobacco
and hogs.
New aid Will be furnished the milk
and dairy interests in solving one OF
the most difficult agricultural prob
lens today. These figures will re-
cord also the changes that have been
brought about by shipment of milk
cows and beef cattle from the
drought areas, and will give us pic
ture of the readjustments which have
been caused by the unprecedented
weather conditions of this year.
In addition to the hogs and cattle,
an inventory will be taken of sheep
and goats. The number of chickens
and turkeys, on hand the first of
January will be recorded and almost
every housewife will be interested
in these items.

American adherence to the World
Court has been urged upon the Sen

it is not a subject of partisan con-
sideration, as Republican and Demo-
cratic administrations and party
platforms alike have advocated
court of justice to which nations
might voluntarily bring their dis

is no abrogation of sovereignty IN
this; there is no "entanglement"

UNEMPLOYMENT IN s u r. A nee
AND OLD AGE PENSIONS

President Roosevelt in his special
message to Congress, on Thursday,
stressed particularly unemployment
insurance and old age pension plans.
The message embraced:
Federal-State unemployment in
surance system.
Federal aid to temporary State old
age pension systems.
Two forms of contributory old age
Insurance, one compulsory, the other
voluntary, both wholly in Federal
hands.
Federal subsidies for aid to de-
pendent children, maternal and
child health, care of crippled chill
dren, miscellaneous child welfare
services and expansion of the public
health program.
The entire program is included in
one bill, which was introduced by
Senator Rober. F. Wagner, Of New
York.
The bill was introduced in the
House at the same time by Repre-
sentative David ]. Lewis, of Mary
land, with the comment Great
Britain is spending about $S,500,-
900, 900 annually on the same OBJ
jec*ives carried in the Presidents

A lecture on Christian Science, en-
titled christian Science: Not Mere
Name, But Absolute Science" was de-
livered in Baltimore at the Lyric on
January 4th, 1885, under the auspices
of First Church of Christ, Scientist.
Bicknell Young, C.S.B., of Chicago,
Illinois, was the lecturer. Mr.. Young
is member of the Board of Lecture
ship of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston,
Massachusetts.
The lecturer spoke substantially as
follows:
1t is matter of common informa-
ton that Christian Science teaches
the unreality of evil. In fact, the I'M
reality of evil is one of the PROPOSE
tions of this Science. AS PROPOSE
ton it cannot fail to be found reason
able and demonstrable in the exact
proportion that it is Understood. 1t
cannot, however, be understood with
out at first being duly considered. 1t
is admitted to be religiously and scien-
tifcally revolutionary. 1t is not light
ly made.
No one was ever more acutely
cognizant than was Mary Baker Eddy,
the Discoverer and Founder of Chris
tian Science, that the trials and suffer
ings of mankind are so universal,
narrowing, and destructive that should
any system advocate a casual or
superficial view or treatment of them
it would antagonize intelligent people
and be worthy only of rejection. Such,
however, is not Christian Science doc
trine, for this Science is essentially
Christian and humanitarian, and the
postulate of the unreality of evil is
advanced and advocated for the sole
purpose of enabling mankind to over
come evil instead of being overcome by
evil.
In "Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy
writes, Belief in a material basis,
from which may be deduced all ra-
tionality, is slowly yielding to the idea
of a metaphysical basis, looking away
from matter to Mind as the cause of
every effect" Up. 268). A symposium
of the views of certain distinguished
modern scientists, published in 1881 in
the New York Times as interviews,
shows that Mrs. Eddy's words above
quoted were extraordinarily prophetic,
for these views all coincide in sub
stance with what Sir Arthur Stanley
Eddington, of Cambridge University,
England, is reported to have expressed
in the following words: consciousness
is fundamental. 1t is meaningless to
speak of the existence of anything
except as forming part of the web Of
consciousness"
They agree in saying that matter
is not the foundation of things, yet
there was a time not so long ago

A YEAR OF REPEAL

The United States has had q full
year of experience with repeal and
can now take stock of results. In
the main they have been disappoint-
ing, although in fairness 1t must be
admitted that twelve months scarce
ly allow time enough to accomplish
the reforms promised by those who
advocated repeal Of the Prohibition
Amendment.
Perhaps the greatest mistake made
by repealists and law enforcement
officials was in assuming that repeal
of itself would automatically wipe
out the illegal manufacture and sale
of liquor. The law abandoned its
vigilance and enforcement machin-
cry broke down from disuse. High
prices charged for legal liquor have
kept the bootlegger in business, and
he enjoys the additional advantage
of little or no legal interference with
his illicit racket.
The record of 1884 indicates that
automobile fatalities directly trace
able to intoxicated drivers have in
creased in number. Another devel-
opment has been the invasion of resi-
Dental neighborhoods by dives not
formerly tolerated even in business
zones. There has been a marked
increase in rowdyism and street dis
orders.
The record does not supper: the
pre-repeal contention of conscien-
tious vets that drunkenness would
be reduced by legalizing the manu-
facture and sale of liquor. The
argument, it may be remembered,
was that the desire for strong drink
would decline if liquor was easy to
obtain. There is no evidence to sup
port this claim.
After this years experience, many
who voted for repeal in the belief
that it would reduce lawlessness
frankly admit their mistake.-Johns-
town (Pa.) Tribune.

China.Philippines
Trade Boom Planned

SHANGHAI (P.-China and the
Philippine Islands will be brought
closer, commercially and culturally. II
the aims of the Institute of Inter-
national Relations here are achieved.
At a recent meeting of the organ
ization it was decided to create q
Committee on Sino-Filipino affairs,
which will actively promote improved
relations between the two countries.
One much-discussed proposal is for
an interchange of trade commissioners
between China and the Philippines.
1t has been urged also that an active
sales campaign be launched in the
Philippines to stimulate the consump-
ton of Chinese products. Japan and
other foreign countries, it is claimed,
are taking a disproportionately large
percentage of the trade Of the Philip
pines.
The fact that much Of the COM
merce of the Philippines is controlled
by persons of Chinese nationality
opens the way, according to some
members Of the committee, to a con-
siderable expansion of Sino-F Filipino
business. The suggestion has been
made that the Chinese government bs
urged to speed up its plans for tho
extension Of Chinese steamship lines

Final Action Sought
In Famed Will Case

DUBLIN, Irish Free State Up
Litigants in the famous will case that
started soon after the Pilgrims landed
in America 300 years ago, have asked
Parliament to insist that the Supreme
Court justices render a judgment.
The case outshines even that Of
Dickens celebrated case Of "Jarndyce
and Jarndyce" in the novel BLEAK
House"
The dispute centers around the will
OF Erasmus Smith, born in 1912.
Smith was an Englishman, who came
to Ireland as a young man. He OBJ
tanned a considerable estate, which
even now brings in $50 900 annually.
On his death bed he willed that al
Of his property should go for the edu-
cation of poor boys, and it is over this
clause that barristers have been
arguing for three centuries.
High church protestants claim old
Erasmus intended the money for the
education of high church children,
Catholics, on the other hand, insist
that Smith was man of liberal opin-
ion and did not mean to exclude any
poor Child because OF his religion.
The Presbyterians also believe they
should share in the estate. Count
less actions have been started, drag
ging on and on, through the nfetimes
Of lawyers and judges, without result.
The latest action began in 1888, and
since then two of the leading attor-
neys have died. The hearing, held
before Justice Meredith, who recently
served as an arbitrating attorney in
the Saar Basin, lasted two months
and cost $4,000.
The chief justice Of the Supreme
Court and his colleagues have not
yet passed down decision and the
litigants have requested Parliament to
assist in pushing the matter to q
conclusion.

which has been in progress for many
months. With the close of the rainy
season, therefore, it Is fair to expect
hostilities.
What motives are driving the Duce
to his prospective adventure? They
are, of course, manifold. First, he is
confronted by a continuing pressure
due to the economic and financial
situation of Italy for which success
full colonial war might provide relief
Second, the memory Of the earlier dis
asters in an Abyssinian war linger in
the Italian mind and for Mussolini to
replace these by triumph would for
tify his prestige. But back of all else
lies pressure of population. Italy, as
the Duce has more than once said,
must expand or explode and the single
avenue to expansion now open leads
to Adds Ababa.
The outlook then is for a repetition
Of the Japanese performance in Man
churia, the French procedure in
Morocco and the earlier British opera
ton in South Africa. Great powers
do not easily tolerate the possession by
weak states Of rich and desirable terri
tories at their frontiers. Italy, in her
turn, therefore, proposes to round out
her African estate as France and
Britain rounded out theirs at opposite
ends Of the Dark Continent. What
adds q new spice to an old practice
is the fact that Britain and France
did their conquering while there was
still no League of Nations to cham
pion the rights of the Boer Republics
or the Shereefian Empire.

There is no man in the Senate who Is
than Senator Glass, and his aim I'M
doubtedly is to put the administra-
ton up against the July / deposit in
surance gun and TO compel, if he
can, elimination of the provision af-
fecting the Federal Reserve System,
to which he is opposed.
Tax Problem Difficult.
OF all the nuts the administration
has to crack, the tax bill may prove
most difficult. In addition to the eff
fort which will be made to substitute
higher income and inheritance taxes
for the gasoline and other excuses,
there is tariff involvement. Among
the taxes which expire July / are
the special duties on oil, lumber, coal
and copper imports. forced in the last
days of the Hoover administration.
Cordell Hull, Secretary OF State,
would very much like to see these
duties eliminated as would a con-
siderable group of Democratic Sena-
tors. The oil-lumber- coal-copper bloc,
on the other hand, is preparing to
fight to the death against passage of
any tax bill that does not continue
super protection of these commodities.
Measures which must be passed be-
fore July are not the only ones on
which attempts will be made to make
terms. Opponents of the social Sc.
curity, holding company and trans
portation bills may be expected to
block the legislative wheels as far as
possible until they know what is to
be done about these measures. Or

The soldiers bonus is certain to re-
appear at intervals before adjourn

Bankhead farm tenant bill and other
proposals for agricultural relief. The
currency inflationists will lose no OPP
portunity to cast their pet monkey
wrench into the machinery.
Latterly, as it appears, President
Roosevelt has regained control Of the
House of Representatives. There is
expected to be little or no difficulty on
that side. The Senate, with its rules
permitting virtually unlimited debate,
is the place where the crucial struggle
will be staged. and its deliberations Of
the next three weeks constitute the
legislative zero hour for President
Roosevelt.

will be at stake. Like China, more
over, Ethiopia is a member Of the
League and like the Chinese the
Ethiopians have appealed to Geneva
But whereas, at least for a moment,
it seemed possible Geneva might do
something for China, there is now
little reason to believe that it will
either attempt much or accomplish
anything even in the way of moral
castigation.
The reason is simple in the extreme.
When Japan moved in Manchuria she
chose the moment when she rightly
calculated it would be out of the
question for Great Britain or any
other League power to intervene in
Asia because of the conditions in
Europe Today Italy will act with
the similar assurance that in the face
of a European situation even more
threatening than that of 1881 England
and France, who must rely upon Ital-
ian support against Germany, will
hardly venture to awaken Italian re-
sentiment by any attempt to vindicate
the authority of the League Of Nations
Nor is it less evident that were the
machinery of Geneva modified
against Italy, Mussolini would follow
Hitler out of the League and the re-
suit would be fresh disaster for that
already stricken organization. Equally
possible, under such circumstances,
would be still another effort of the
Duce to come to terms with the
Reichsfuehrer. Actually then, Musso-
lini has chosen his moment well, and
while he undertakes an operation
which does violence to every principle
embodied in the League itself, he can
count upon French and British aid at
Geneva to suppress any moral indig-
nation on the part Of smaller
countries.
League Proves Helpless.
All of this ought to be clear DEM
onstration to the American champions
of Geneva of the point to which
League fortunes have now declined.
Already Japan has occupied Mau-
churia, Germany has embarked upon
the Mani putsch in Vienna and now
italy is going to try to conquer
Ethiopia. In none Of these instances
was the League able to accomplish
ANYTHING. In the case of the Austrian
episode last Summer no one even

L put them to work for the de-
velopment of Maine.
With that same instinct for the
dramatic which he showed in an
nouncing the Tennessee Valley devel-
opment around Muscle Shoals at the
start of his administration, President
Roosevelt put the Passamaquoddy
tide-power undertaking in the first
relief appropriation.
The $l0,000,000 allotment to start
turning the great tides of the Bay OF
Fundy into electric current for farms
and factories Down East makes one
of the very largest projects on the
whole Federal works program.
For 10 years the Psssamaquoddy
proposal has fascinated Maine. 1t
took an engineer on vacation down by
the Bay of Fundy to dream of turning
the greatest of all tides into cheap
electricity. Finally, after a decade OF
failure anu disappointment with the
plan, it took President who Summers
beside the roar of the bay to put the
resources of Government behind the
engineers dream and make it
reality.
Maine Looks to Future.
Passamaquoddy is definitely q prof.
ect for the future. And already Maine
is building on its promise. 1t Is such
an undertaking as perhaps only a
Government with $4,000, 100000 to
spend and millions of men to put to
work, would so promptly approve.
For 10 years it has met obstacles at
every turn. 1t was originally much
vaSter undertaking which called for
inclusion of Canadian waters as well
as American. But Canada turned 1t
down. 1t called for 500 900 900, and
private financing could not be found.
1t promised to double the electric pro-
duction of the State, and critics said
there was no market for so much new
power.
The skepticism Of men of money
and power kept the Quoddy project
plan on paper until Roosevelt be-
came President. 1t was he who asked
the Governor Of Maine to have a COM
mission determine the. practicability
Of the Passamaquoddy project -
