"DONT QUOTE
ME"
By United Press

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-"New
dealers" are becoming increasingly
disappointed over American busi-
ness lack of interest in setting up
voluntary codes under jurisdiction
of the federal trade commission.
The White House, the old NRA
and the trade commission itself
have issued statements at regular
intervals telling what excellent
codes OF fair competition are avail
able, but only a few minor indus
tries ever have made inquiries.
One of the first codes established
concerns the manufacturers of doll
and baby carriages, air toys and
balloons.
The trade commission itself
doesn't seem to be particularly Wor-
ried It is busy enough already
in a placid way-in a musty SMELL
ing temporary" frame building,
erected during the World war.
There the five commissioners and
their numerous helpers ponder "un-
lawful methods OF competition" and
issue frequent cease and desist ord
ers against the optimistic vendors of
trick medicines, impure foods and
the like.
Every time the commissioners
want 10 smoke, they have to go
outside. fearful they may otherwise
burn down their building. In the
summer they frequently have to
close up shop because of the heat;
In the winter their clerks sometimes
have TO wear their overcoats at their
desks. Their temporary building
is about to fan apart, after nearly
20 years. but the government has
given no indication of abandoning
It.
The orders issued by the commits
sion almost invariably are inter-
osting but receive little general not

THE LEAGUE SPEAKS

The League of Nations has placed the
stigma of war guilt upon Italy, but it
still remains for the league to make
good on its plan to invoke penalties
against the Italian nation.
Whether it can do that or not only
time will tell.
Thus far the leagues history has Civ
en- no indication that it possesses the
force to back up the theoretical position
it takes. It's weakened attitude toward
Japan in the Manchurian controversy is
we'll remembered. Japan went ahead
and did as it pleased and the league con-
tented itself with fine-sounding but in
effective protests and reports.
The League of Nations was born of the
Versailles treaty. The signers of that
treaty placed the blame for the World
war on Germany and that nation was al
lowed to join the league only after ac-
cepting the stigma of guilt, together with
other penalties.
When Hitler came into power he also
paid no attention to the league, with
drawing from it and scrapping the Ver-
sailles treaty as Wilhelm before him had
scrapped the Belgian treaty as a mere
piece of paper" The league let him get
away with it, as common parlance terms
it.
Even in the present crisis and with the
nations forming the league council vot-
ing unanimously to punish Italy, France,
as usual looking out for herself, has
made it known that she is unwilling to
go the full route in any sanctions that
may be drawn against Italy. Only so
long as these sanctions do not jeopardize
French trade or French diplomacy, will
she keep united front with other coun-
Gil signers.
AS for the effect of the leagues action
on Mussolini, that too remains to be as
certained. But on his record of past per-
formances there is every reason to be-
lieve II Duce will tell the league to jump
into the lake and continue on his own
sweet way-to inevitable disaster, per-
haps because of the league, perhaps in

CANADA HAS
BIG DEMAND
FOR HORSES

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 8 UPl
The horse is staging a comeback
in Canada.
The Canadian department OF ag-
riculture reports that demands 1or
horses from United States brewers
and for use on farms in western
Canada has increased the value OF
the heavy type of horses by 30 per
cent in the last two years, giving
a great impetus to horse breeding
In 1881. when the end Of pro-
hibition was in sight, exports OF
horses from Canada to the United
States leaped from 672 in 1890 to
5000 and in 1892 to Glib. The
trade dropped in 1893 and 1884,
but is again being revived by de
mands for Canadian draft horses
from U. S. brewers. A recent ship
ment from Lambton county in On
tario brought price Of $3.50 per
head in the United States.
The principal demand, however,
is a domestic one. In 1921 there
were 3,610,495 horses on Canadian
farms. Last year there were only
1888 ,480 The drop is explained by
the fact that with the advent of
tractors and other automotive ma
chinery farmers abandoned horse
breeding. Now, with farm prices
low, farmers are abandoning tract
ors and again turning to horses
They find it more economical tc
feed oats to horses than to sell the
oats and buy gasoline.

DEATH STRIKES AGAIN

Again death has dipped out of the skies
and claimed a dozen lives in the crash Of
a commercial air liner in Wyoming early
yesterday morning.
Grimly enough tragedy struck the big
liner as it was almost within sight of the
Cheyenne airport and safety. with per
feet flying weather and while the plane
was in radio communication with the air
port.
An experienced pilot with L years Of
flying to his credit. was at the controls
as the plane crashed into low hillside
and snuffed out the lives of nine passen-
gers and the crew of three
Investigation has failed to give any DEF
mite clue as yet to the cause of the dis
aster. the first in over 2S,O0O,OOO miles
of flying on the company's lines.
Commercial aviation has been hit hard
again. but it will survive the blow, for
commercial aviation is progress-an II
resistible force which cannot be
thwarted. To those who see in this lat
est tragedy proof that aviation is super
hazardous. it might be pointed out that
men have been driving steam trains for
generations and ships for even longer
than that. but wrecks still occur on
trains and ships. AS for automobiles,
our terrible record there makes any air
plane crash seem almost inconsequentlal
by comparison.

The vote in Danzig at the election OF representa-
tives to the volkstag ought to be q salutary check
on the v~aulting ambitions of the German Nazis-
This vote was hailed In advance as another great
Hitler triumph like that OF the Saar. A pro-Nazi
majority as heavy rs that rolled up in the Saar
would have been indubitable evidence that the
overwhelming mass Of Germans everywhere wanted
to accept Hitler as their leader and looked to him
to guide them out Of their troubles.
But Danzig. IS per cent German, gives the Nazis
only about so per cent OF its votes-an increase OF
only some 8 per cent over the last election.
The moral Is obvious. The Danzig Germans want
reunion with the fatherland. clearly-but a very
stable minority thinks that to embrace Hitlerism
would be to pay too high a price for it.
