Swap With Mexico

Officials here described the
transaction as a swap" They said
this country had been buying large
quantities OF silver from the Bank
OF Mexico to carry out the terms
OF the silver purchase act. 1t pro-
vides that the monetary base Of
the United States shall consist u
timately OF Is per cent silver and
rs per cent gold. Latest calculations
were said to have indicated that
silver constituted less than 10 per
cent Of the base, due partly to
heavy imports OF gold.
The amount of silver purchased
from the Bank Of Mexico was not
disclosed.

Business Resumption

We've got to get business to take more of a chance" says Peter Grimm, assist ant-secretary of the U. s. Treasury, to an audience of business men.
 Business is still timid. The banks don't want to lend any money unless they're sure they'll get it back next Tues day in cash Wherever I've been, there are the same stories about great surpluses in the banks. The money is not all wrapped up; but the solution will cer- tainly mean loss of timidity and more willing attitude to take chance. And I know business wants to do this" he added.
 No doubt this is true. Government and business have been working at cross-pur- poses in many ways. The government got into business, perhaps too far, at time when business itself was hardly able to carry on. Business then hesitated to get back because the government was there.
 The government lately seems disposed to withdraw as rapidly as it can. Its re- treat from private enterprise and the ad- vance of private enterprise itself should proceed together. If this is done in good faith on both sides, there should be a rapid revival.

War On Leprosy

When General Wood was governor of the Philippines he became interested in the problem of leprosy. After his death the Leonard Wood Memorial was establ- lished by friends, for the purpose of carry- ing on the work of cure and prevention he started. The organization now arl- nounces an enlarged program to be con ducted in all countries where leproSy ex- ists today.
 Research work will be pushed in order to learn how leprosy is communicated and why 1t persists in certain areas More needs to be learned of the cause and na- ture of the disease. There is to be further study and experiment to dis cover the most effective treatment and to improve methods and materials. Funds will be necessary, and will be raised by private contributions and per- haps public support.
 In the western hemisphere, leprosy constitutes a serious problem in South America, Central America, Mexico and the West Indies. In the eastern hemis- phere it is prevalent in Japan, China, the Philippines, Indo-China, the Malay States, Java, India and portions of Africa. It exists to a limited extent in other places, includes the United States.
 Work already done has shown that the disease may be arrested and apparently cured through early treatment Here IS another constructive task in which many different people and nations may unite.

Navy Day

Navy Day was inaugurated in 1922 by the Navy League of the United States and it's observance is sponsored annually by the League.
 October 27th was selected because it IS the anniversary of the birth of President Theodore Roosevelt, so much of whose life was devoted to establishing sound naval policy for the United States Of America. It will be remembered that President Roosevelt first achieved na- tional reputation by writing naval his tory of the War of 1872, work of such merit that it was incorporated into Cloves Royal Navy, monumental his- tory of the British Sea Service. Later, as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and finally as President, Roosevelt bent his tremendous energies to impress upon the American people the necessity for an adequate Navy, and endeavored through his leadership to realize this ideal.
 October is also the month in which the American Navy was founded in 1775 by the Continental Congress.
 In addition to paying a deserved trib- ute to the sea heroes of the Nation and recalling the splendid part the Navy has played in making and keeping us a na- ton, the Navy Day observance has proved valuable means of fostering better understanding of the Navy and it's work. Such information in country where government is by public opinion, is essential to the formation of correct judgments affecting naval policy, and in this work of information the Navy Day observance has played considerable part.

suddenly branched out into the business of administering Indian affairs. The venture was short- lived but lively. It happened this way:
 While on a speaking trip In New Mexico, Tugwell was much impressed by Joseph L. Daley, a former judge and active figure in the states political and so- cial life. Tugwell invited him to come to Washington and become Q member of his staff.
 Daley accepted, later reported 10 duty, but found that Tugwen had nothing definite for him to do. For want of something better, Tugwell finally hit on the iil- genious idea of setting up an Indian division and putting Daley in charge.
 He preached the idea to Harry Hopkins, pointing out that there are more than 10000 homeless Indians in the west. Tugwell argued that his BRA could use the 100000 acres of Indian lands held in trust by the gov- ernment to provide self-support- ing homes for the impoverished Indians.
 Complications
 Hopkins gave his okay and nromised A S15. 5.OO0. 900 grant from work-relief funds.
 COMPLICATIONS DEVELOP ED IMMEDIATELY.
 John Collier, able, working head of the long-established 1n- dian bureau, has been engaged in rehabilitating homeless Indians ever since he has been on the job. And he entered vigorous pro- test against duplication of effort. If $l5,000,000 was to be handed out for this work, Collier demand- ed that the money be turned over to him.
 Next 1t developed that Daley, although an able lawyer, knew nothing about Indians. Finally, some of Iopkins's aides question: ed the project on technical grounds and held up the alloca- ton of funds.
 UNDER THIS BARRAGE OF sETBACKS TUGWELL'S BRIGHT IDEA BLEW UP.

Selected Poem
OCTOBER HAVING

(By Jessie M Dowlin in The Christian Science
 Monitor) Without the atmosphere of frenzied haste That sped the having time when summers noon Held her ascendancy, these swaths are boon Of leisured aftermath when man can taste The quiet peace of autumn in this chaste Retard before the frost shall wind cocoon Of crystals round the grasses, and the moon Shall giisten where the ice-bound land lies waste. Unseen last late cricket pipes his song Tn slower, muted beat Across the field There fits the shadow of hawks broad wing Tn geometric flight. Oh. not for long We hold this hour, go let the moments yield Untramfneled joy in autumn harvestingl

COP. Presidential Runner-Up
Col. Frank Knox Invades East In Hopes of BuildUp
 For His 1886 Political Aspirations.
(From The Hartford Times)

Presumably on invitation as an anti-Borah move and on his own initiative as a pro-Knox pilgrimage, Colonel Frank Knox, Chicago news- paper publisher, and runner-up in the republican straw-vote presiden- tial derby, is spending few days in New York city.
 He is in friendly territory. In re- cent editions of the Albany News Letter, republican state committee mouthpiece, Colonel Knox has been highly praised. Also he will be in position to cross the threshold of National Committeeman Charles D. Hilles, anti-Borah leader.
 It is not to be inferred from this that Knox is in all respects "sound" as eastern conservative republican ism views such things. His agricul- tural policy is not many degrees re- moved from New Deal strategy in that field. Instead of a processing tax he would federally finance the sale of surplus crop yields by dump ing them upon the foreign markets at what they will bring. This Is none other than the McNary- Haugen export subsidy plan revived, a scheme which President Coolidge successfully resisted during his ad- inistration.
 Recently the Wall Street Journal asked almost a dozen searching questions about Colonel Knox's plan, all of them suggesting that he would be raising as many and perhaps worse problems than he would be solving. To dump our agricultural surpluscs on the foreign market, the government paying pro- ducers the difference between world prices and higher, artificially fixed domestic price, would be cer- tain to induce dumping by other nations. It would be species of cut-throat competition the end of which would be disastrous to inter- national trade in general.
 The simple fact is that the re- publican party is in an embarrass- ing position with regard to a farm relief policy. Yet 1t must have something to correspond in some way to the New Deal policy if 4 hopes to win the west. Even that constitutionalist stalwart, ogden Mills, only this week reiterated hit belief that national agriculture should and can be helped within the compass of the Constitution
 in such Q way as to give the farmer Q fair share of national income

At the moment one is attracted to the Youth Progam sponsored by The Ma tional Youth Administration. If this functions properly the question of financially aiding and helping young people among the needy students at college, should be happily solved. The program includes the caring for 100,531 students from 1,514 colleges and univer- sites in forty-six states, also the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Each college president will be held responsible for the program at his college. This sys- tenn should materially help those, who would otherwise have to give up the idea of college education.

It is doubtful is the barmaid will ever become popular behind American bars. It is true, that in restaurants and tea rooms where waitresses serve you, they handle the drinks neatly, but the out and-out barmaid, especially in large cities like New York, would not fit into the pic ture as she is and perhaps still does in such hostelries andpubs at The Three Jolly Pigeons, The Red Lion, or such like, over in England, where the English bar maid is an institution.

A Thought for Today
Consider the Source!

IT the remarks eminating from the connecticut Manufacturers Associations tercentenary exposition committee ban- duet at the Hotel Bond Tuesday evening" claiming the states present representa- lives at Washington were disgrace Uo Connecticut industry, are to be taken seriously, it is rather severe ararlgn- ment of those gentlemen now serving III Congress.
 Further references were also made to the effect that Connecticut industry ana Connecticut would get nowhere until the state has decent and intelligent men there to represent them" - we suppose, decent and intelligent manufacturers. For arguments sake we will momentar- ily waive the intelligent claim, but as for decency, we are willing to pit their claim to that quality against MT. E. Kent Hub bard, or others who made the statements.
 Such accusations as were credited as coming from the above mentioned source the other evening, probably were never intended to get beyond the walls or Hartford's ornate hotels banquet hall, are a severe indictment of anyone but political shuyster, and too many Will agree Connecticut's democratic sena- tors and representatives are anything but that.
 However, there's the rub, they're dem ocrats, and New Deal democrats at that. MT. E. Kent Hubbard and many other manufacturers don't like President Roosevelts New Deal. That's their idea of good way to defeat MT. Roosevelt next year-something similar to the whispering campaign" that was exposed recently in New Jersey. Nice politics. Clean as mud. But time will tell which policy is best.
 We wonder if MT. Hubbard and his colleagues can remember back In '29, when Washington was flowing over With republican representatives from Connec- ticut and almost every state in the Union under MT. Hoover, we believe-the country reached the lowest ebb ln the long years of it's economical career. Con- necticut congressman and senators were not worth two for nickel as far as presenting one constructive idea toWards staying off disaster.
 It's all we'll and good for the Connecti- cut manufacturers now that they see day. light ahead, no thanks to the brand of intelligence and decency they approve of at Washington to bite the hand that fed them through this depression. It is near over, and they want to be out in front with their hand picked marionettes when the curtain descends upon the last act of the depression with everyone singing, Happy Days Are Here Again.
 MT. John Public, however, should not overlook the fact that President Roose- welt adopted that melody back in '32, when things looked blackest, for his theme song, and made the idea come true. E. Kent Hubbard and all the rest know it. But not having had hand in it's accomplishments, they would now blacken those that did by dubbing them disgrace and unintelligcnt"
 Anything to win is the slogan-even if 1t takes the old mud to do it.
