the finest examples of old world art

Lord Duveen sold the Cowper
Madonna to Mr.. Mellon for 1886, 900,

the price he paid the Soviet govern

The Alba Madonna" he said, "is

fine as the Alba, think, but the
Alba is more important and larger

He expressed the opinion the Alba
Madonna alone is worth $1,000. 900

Political bookies dropped the odds
heavily on the N r. A. test case i'm.
mediately after the rail labor decision
Few good lawyers here believe the
court can uphold the N. R. A. If il
follows the reasoning adopted in the
rail labor case.
One hidden line in the labor decision
hints at the probable attitude Of the
court majority on N. r. A.
THE contention (of the Govern
ment) comes very near to this-that
whatever some trailroad) carriers
choose to do voluntarily in the man
agement Of their business at once in
vests Congress with the power to COM
pei all carriers to do. The fallacy is
obvious. The meaning Of the COM
merce and due process clauses OF the
Constitution is not so easily enlarged
by the voluntary acts of individuals or
corporations.
If that does not strike at the theory
OF the N. r. A, some very good law
yers here are in error.
Courts Narrow Margin.
The only ray which keeps New Deal
legal lights shining is the fact that
the 5-to-4 lineup Of the court is so
narrow that one man can change it.
Also, lawyers seem to agree the
labor decision does not fundamentally
injure the chances of the social Sc
curity program. This program is not
based on the Federal Jurisdiction over
interstate commerce, but on the power
OF Congress to tax. 1t is frankly in
trastate, just as income taxes are.
This is an entirely different principle,
which usually has been upheld by the
court.
Life Begins" Later.
Those who believe life begins at 40
will be encouraged still further by the
labor pension decision. It held life
does not end at IS.
The prize line OF the majority
decision lDds: at does not tollo11,

This view was subscribed to by four

one who is the baby of the court at

Guessing About James.
A free guessing contest is on among
insiders about the reason why son
James Roosevelt is going back 10 Hyde
Park to attend the cows. The official
explanation seems to be true as far as
it goes. James has not been in good
health and the estate needs managing.
The favored supplemental guess,
hotDeDer, is that his business dcttu-
tiles were embarrassing to the
White House. No relatiDe of
President can be in business NTH
out causing embarrassment. No
matter ho,D independently q presi-
dental son may conduct his
business affairs, competitors, enc
mics and eDen friends are bound
to assume that he has po,Uer and
pull beyond their reach.
The mere existence of such a sit
uation usually causes a flood of
sneaky stories which cannot be ef-
fectiyely answered or denied.
Withdrawal of James also is an
other indication that the admins
tration Is caulking the seams for the
next campaign.

Equalizer Between Industry

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 9.-Retention Of
the processing tax or adoption Of
some other equalizer between indus
try and agriculture was predicted last
night by Paul A. Porter, executive as
sistant to the administrator Of the
A. A. A.
Speaking before the Economic Club
of New York, Porter said, 1.-THE tariff
equivalent of the processing tax or
some better device yet to be developed
is, in my opinion, permanent
mechanism for agriculture"
He declared that prior to adop-
ton of the A. A. A. America had one
policy for agriculture and one for
industry, with industry selling in q
tariff-protected market and agricul-
ture selling at world prices. He COM
pared the processing tax with tariff
as a means for equalizing the advan-
tages Of price between farm and fac
tory.
Porter denied that 12-cent cotton
had been the controlling factor in
retarding exports Of the staple. and
he pointed to Germany and italy As
nations which wanted American cot
ton, but could not buy here because
exporters would not accept goods and
services In exchange.

FARM MEASURE
TO Be TAKEN Up
House Leadership Arranges
for Bill to Follow That
on Banking.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

The House leadership has arranged
for calling up the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration measure late today i'm
mediately following the banking bill
This will undoubtedly be passed
promptly. 1t is an administration
measure, but not on the must"
program.
The bill is one of half dozen which
Speaker Byrns expects to have passed,
sandwiched in between the most i'm
portant bills on the Roosevelt program
while the House is waiting for COM
mittee action to be completed on such
measures as the public utilities and
N. r. A.
Amendments Proposed.
The bill proposes to amend the en-
Urgency farm mortgage act of 1888,
the Federal farm loan act, the agricul-
tural marketing act and the farm
credit act.
This legislation will make additional
funds available for land bank COM
missioners' loans, will extend the Pc
Rod in which loans can be made from
1896 to 1910 and will extend the ma
turity date on loans secured by first
and second liens on real property from
IS to 43 years.
It is composed largely Of amend
ments which the Farm Credit Admin
istration found necessary for more
efficient work. It includes all of the
banking facilities for agricultural re-
lief: The Federal Land Banks, the In
termeidate Credit Banks, the Produc-
ton Credit Corp. and the cooperative
banks.
Commissioner Loans.
Under the original set-up, out of the
81, 200, 100000 revolving fund, only
$500, 100000 was available for COM
missioners' loans. This takes of the
limit and makes all the funds avail
able either for Land Bank loans or
commissioners loans. The Land Bank
loans could be made up to so per cent
of the value of the property, and COM
missionerS' loans could be made up to
rs per cent Of the value so that when
the funds for commissioners loans
were all out at work there was a so
per cent limit. This makes the entire
fund available for both kinds Of loans.
This revolving fund Is also increased
by the sale Of securities. At present.
there are number of outstanding
loans being refinanced.
