Fur Will Fly

The latest amusing note on the situation concerns departure for the islands of Morris l., Ernst, New York lawyer, who will investigate for the American Civil Liberties union charges that Wilson, in his campaign against Pearson, acted as prosecutor, jury, and judge to rail- road Q public works employe to prison.
 Wilson's chief distinction as a congressman was his sponsorship of a national board of magazine censorship which would have cen- sored every line of copy entering a magazine under penalty of long Imprisonment and large fines for anyone who avoided the censor ship.
 Ernst, on the other hand, Is this country's outstanding legal cru- sader against literary censorship and has won many court cases in- yolving attempted suppression of books and magazine issues.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-29

What between noble attempts to rehabilitate the poverty-stricken islands and incessant warfare be- tween Wilson and his political packers on one side and Gov Paul Pearson, supported by Ickes and other liberals, prodigiously dis proportionate amount of New Deal time has been spent in worrying about those islands
 President and Mrs Roosevelt, Rex Tugwell, and many others have been interested. Alternating complaints against Pearson and Wilson have resulted in investiga. ton after investigation by Ickes. Dismissals have resulted.
 The administration political ma chine under Farley has been con- stantly irritated because the ideal istic Pearson, a Hoover appointee, was retained by Ickes. Except for Wilson, lame duck ex-congress- man from Mississippi, the islands have been kept out of the hands of the politicians.

MORE IMPORTS
SEEN j. 8. NEED

Urgent need exists for increased
imports by the United States if
the normal adjustment in inter
national trade is to be corrected,
Henry H. Heinmann, executive
manager of the National ASSocia-
ton of Credit Mems says in the
current business survey of the or
ganization.
With exports rising far greater
than imports, the spread once
again is forcing the United States
to drain the worlds gold reserve,
he believes.
Discussing business prospects,
Heinmann said the hope that
little uneconomic legislation would
be enacted in Congress has made
merchants reasonably certain an
improvement would be shown over
1884. A gain of about s per
cent can be expected, he added.
Favorable factors. according to
his belief, include plans to reno
vate industrial equipment by a
housing campaign, by increased
automobile production and i'm
provement in other industries.

Clearance Sales
Seen Big Aid to
Retailers
BY International News Service

Clearance sales helped lift the
retail trade this week, Dun &
Bradstreet, Inc, stated today,
bringing the best response in three
years.
The heavy fog and rains along
the Atlantic seaboard affected
business somewhat, the review
stated. The steady buying by the
public, however, promised bigger
profits in the first quarter this
year than either the first or last
quarter of 1884.
Low inventories in practically
all lines and the rising tide of in.
dustrial production and employ
ment promised further gains in
the next few months, the survey
stated.
So far in January retail sales
were placed 10 to IS per cent above
the same period year ago, with
some sections of the Middle West
running Is per cent higher. EN-
phaSiS was placed on the manner
in which industry was speeding
under the leadership of the auto
industry. The Dun & Bradstreet
business activity barometer scored
its tenth consecutive gain, rising
to 1873 this week against 72.1 a
week ago and 64.2 in the same
1884 week.
