OBSERVATIONS
By Cong. ELMER ]. RYAN

There has been considerable dis
cussion recently regarding importa-
lions of agricultural products into the
United States. The charge has been
made that crop reductions under the
Agricultural Adjustment Act have en-
couraged imports. 1t is undoubtedly
true that higher prices in this coun-
try caused by AAA activities have
brought higher prices to domestic
producers and have made it possible
in some instances for foreign pro-
ducers to pay our high tariffs and
still make a profit.
Figures compiled by the Depart
ment of Agriculture in connection
with such imports are interesting.
A table has been prepared which
shows the imports OF agricultural
products during the eight-month per-
iod. July, 1884 to February, 1885, and
compares these imports with the same
eight-month periods on the average
over the last ten years.
This table shows that meat imports
for the 1934-1935 period were 17%
less than the ten-year average; vege-
table oils were 14fo less; wool was
$50 less; vegetables $50 less: dairy
products $40 less; eggs and egg pro
ducts 1870 less, and imports of al
competitive agricultural pro ducts
were 1870 of the ten-year average
Imports of dairy products for the
eight months were 1870 of the ten
year average for the same months.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. CUP
"A new deal dollar bill, subtly
advertising the Roosevelt admin
istration, is in the making.
Even new the presses are
grinding out 60,000,0O0 copies
of the bill, each with this Roose-
veltian motion in Latin promin-

"Noyus Ordo Seclorum."
Translated, that means "a new
order of the ages" 1t appears
on the reverse of the great seal
of the United States, but never
was used on the nations cur
rency until a new dealer spotted
it.
A. w. Hall, director of the
bureau of engraving, said that
Secretary of Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., suggested use
of both sides of the great seal
on the back of the bill. The re-
verse side depicts an eye and a
triangular glory, symbolizing an
all-seeing deity, and an unfinish-
ed pyramid. The latter indicates
strength and the belief of the
designers that there is work still
to be done.
In addition to "Novus Ordo. Sc
clorum," the seal carries another
motto, "Annuit Cooptis,' mean

ings."
Principal differences between
the new bills and the old is the
method of printing the signature

ON CREDIT CONTROL
Legislative Move Follows
Detailed Survey.

Discussing generally his legislative
program, Gov. Paul v. McNutt today
admitted that consumer credit con-
troll would be one Of the major
problems upon which the 1885 Leg
iSlature might act.
The term which the Governor
used may be broadly extended to
take in auto loan companies, petty
finance corporations and other me-
diums whereby the system of in
stallment buying has been expanded.
For more than a year. a survey
has been conducted by H. o. Stone.
research director OF the State De-
partment of Financial Institutions,
and Herman Wells, also of the de-
partment. in order to gather data
or the problem of credit control.
In answer to the assertion that
there would be a powerful lobby
against any restraining measure on
such companies, the Governor said
that if the truth we're put before the
people such a lobby would be power
less.

No attorney appeared for him and
he showed no emotion during the

HITLER MEETS
NAzI AIDS AT
BERLIN FARLEY
Conference Hastily Called
RumorS of Discomfort
in Party Denied.
81 JHitcd Press

BERLIN, Jan. ga hastily-sum-
moned meeting of the entire political
and military leadership of the Nazi
party was opened by Chancellor
Adolf Hitler in the State Opera
House today.
The meeting was described as "a
festive New Years ceremony" to
prove the solidarity of the party.
The meeting lasted an hour and
Is minutes. 1t was understood Hit
Ter made a speech denying extensive
ruInors abroad about discomfort in
the elite storm guards and immi-
nent changes in the party govern
ment and leadership.
The arrival of Hitler and other
leaders was in marked contrast to
their usual formal public appear
ances. An open car bearing them
sped almost surreptitiously down
Inter Den Linden at twice the
usual speed.
The general public went abort its
business unaware of what wa going
on, since no word had appeared 10
the press. Many wondered, how
ever, at the heavy Gordon of storm
troopers.
Whereas ordinarily he stands in
the car and receives the shouted
Hell" of thousands, the Reichs-
fuehrer sat unobtrusively in the
front seat.
Two touring cars which followed
were packed with Is bodyguards of
the elite S. S. troops. The entire
route from the chancellery to the
opera was lined on either side by a
double Gordon of troops, facing al
ternately the street and the side
walk.
A few hundred people near the
opera greeted Hitler. An hour pre-
viouSly prominent leaders had begun
arriving. Hermann Wilhelm Goer-
ing, premier of Prussia, in his blue
a%viator's uniform, smilingly ac-
knowledged cheers which we're sur
priSingly sparse.
The Storm Troopers. who had
been in position for four hours,
stamped their feet and ate brandy
chocolates to keep warm in the
freezing weather.
