Too Much Speed

The plan was thrust forward hurriedly to quiet highly spec ulative market and in order to force the president to commit himself definitely before he yielded to southern pressure.
 Even so, Wallace and Davis had a hard time putting their compromise across.
 Roosevelt, who knows nothing about cotton, but thinks he knows a lot, wanted to stick by his southern senatorial friends. The latter had told him with considerable emphasis that Wall lace and Davis "were corn-hog men who didn't know a - - thing about cotton"
 So Wallace and Davis pull. cd in big gun support. They brought up Henry MOrgcn- thau, Jesse Jones, who puts up the money for cotton loans, plus the entire Credit Com- modity Corporation, which functions under Jesse.
 All painted a dark picture. They pointed to growing cotton production in Brazil, Egypt, Russia, Argentina. They claimed that. the high price in the Unit ed States was encouraging this competition. They, pointed to Hoover's disaster when he tried to uphold the price of wheat. They warned that 1t was best to ease down the price gradually. thereby selling more cotton abroad.
 So the president yielded. Unconstitutional
 But here he and his advisers made two straight mistakes. FIRST, they might have con- tinued a straight Recent loan and let the supreme court de- clare the Bankhead bill uncinsti- tutional, as 1t probably will do. In this case, Wallace's end would have been achieved, while Roosevelt would have received public support for his election campaign issue of "unconstitu- tionality."
 SECOND, the might have de- layed announcing the 9-cent compromise until the day after congress adjourned. AS 1t hap. pened, the announcement came few days before, causing political hurricane from the cot- ton belt that is still blowing, and prolongation of the con. gresslonal session.
 Southern senators remembered the presidents Recent loan pledges, were irate and wrathy. Senator George told friends he would never again cross the White House doorstep. Senators Byrnes of South Carolina, liar. rison of Mississippi and Robin- son of Arkansas were up against the prospect of defeat in the coming election.
 There followed the cotton. - wheat deadlock in congress and the compromise of q 10. cent loan plus 2.ccnt sub. sidy to farmers.
 Farm Aid
 AAA officials expect cotton farmers to be satisfied when they fully understand the plan. Those who will not be satisfied are:
 |. Textile mills with
 large stocks at 12-cent cot-
 ton. Competitors buying
 cheaper cotton can near
 bankrupt them.
 2. Retailers with large
 stocks of higher-priced cot-
 ton textiles on hand.
 2. Growers who have
 produced more than the AAAllotment, totaling about
 a 1.500,000 bale surplus.
 These have to pay the gov
 ernment tax of six cents
 a pound, which deducted
 from ten cents, leaves them
 only four cents. Moreover,
 since they produced sur
 plus. they get no 2-cent
 subsidy.
 But those. receiving this sub- sidy must sign up for 1886 re- duction in advance. and agree in advance to accept whatever acreage cut the AAA later de- crees. Thus the AAA will hold the whip-hand over cotton in T0aa

GREEN TWILIGHT

 Dark after light so effortlessly In the green gloom. deep in the gloom And one lone thrush in deep woods tree.

Promises Are Like Eggs

No such pledge had ever been given by the Soviets to any coun- try as the price for recognition. At the time those who know something of the official psy- choiogy of the Bolshevik govern ment realized and announced, that the pledges were worthless. It is true that the U. s. s. K. # 1t contracts 0 financial obligation lives up to it's contract scrupu. lously.. That is only because to repudiate an obligation in which money is involved would be to destroy the foreign credit which is essential to the continued ex- istence of the minority group controlling the country. But when 1t comes to anything else Bolshevist promises are like eggs, made to be broken. Since the signing of the agreement between the United States and the U. 5. S' R. there have been innumerable instances where Compunist pro- paganda emanating from Moscow has been spread broadcast throughout this country. The att tempts of Communists through the Third International to un- dermine and destroy American institutions has never slackened' It remained for the recent con- gress in Moscow to furnish an over example of the breach of the promise made by MT. Litvi- nov.

Newspaper Propaganda

It was this possibility. say the presid ent's enemies, and not the open prediction of revolution in the United States made by one of the delegates from America at the Internationals congress which prompted the protest from Ambassador Builitt. When news- papers like the New York Her aid. Tribune can disseminate such stuff what may we not expect from the smaller fry of Republi- can journalism. It Is altogether possible that both President Roosevelt, Ambassador Buliitt and our Department of State are in possession of information which made the forwarding of the protest a matter of conscience and that national politics had nothing to do with 1t. Mir. Bull lit was selected for the post he occupies because he was not only one of the few men in this coun- try qualified for the job but also because the Foreign Office of the U, S. s. R. heid' him in respect and affection. When such Q man is impeiled to make formal pro- test in the name of the United States against what went on at the congress of the Third Inter- national he should be credited, as should President Roosevelt. with motives slightly higher than the desire to squash possible Rcpub- lican campaign misrepresentation a year hence.

High Pressure

In 1893 when the resumption of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were being discussed certain promises were made by the rep- resentative of the Bolshevik gov. ernment. President Roosevelt, assisted by experts from the State Department, conducted the negotiations himself with the Communist prime minister, Max i'm Litvinov. Terrific pressure was brought to bear on Washing ton both for and against recogni- ton of the Bolshies. Business interests, sighting the opening up of a huge foreign market for American manufactures, de. manded the resumption of diplo- matic relations. Chambers of Commerce df& likewise and with few exceptions the newspapers followed suit. The biterest oppo- sition came from the patriotic societies, the American Fedora ton of Labor, and certain reli- gious groups whose members had been unbelievably persecuted by the ruling gang in Russia. Their cry was DON'T TRUST THE BOLSHEVIK! HIS PROM ISES MEAN NOTHING" What has happened since proved that the cry was justified. But there were important considerations which outweighed the objectors. Danger of war between Japan and the U. s. s. K. was imminent and Mir. Roosevelt is a sincere friend of peace. Official recog. milton of the Communist govern ment by the United States might prevent the start of 8 war whose consequences could not be fore- told. Old American debts. against the Russians, both gov- ernmental and private. might be settled. In fact an arrangement was made whereby such settle ment could be reached. But President Roosevelt insisted on certain pledges being made by the Soviet representative. One of them was that the U. s. s. R. promised;
 "Not to permit the formation
 or residence on It's territory of
 any organization or group
 and to prevent the activity on
 its territory of any organisa.
 ton or group, or of represcn.
 tativcs or officials of any or.

Also to Be Expected

Republican newspapers hungry to seize upon anything and every thing that might discredit Pres ident Roosevelt are saying that the protest lodged by Ambassa-. dor Bullitt was not because of the violation of the promise given by the Soviets to keep out of American affairs but for an en- tirely different reason. During the progress of the Third Inter- national congress Georgi Dimit- rolf. a Bulgarian delegate, was reviewing the world situation as 1t pertained to the present strength of the Communist move- ment particularly in the United States. He advocated the re.elec- ton of President Roosevelt not because he approved of the pres- ident but because someone worse might take his place. It was typical, muddled Communist logic which I for one cannot follow. But 1t would be juicy campaign material for the Republicans if in 19S6 President Roosevelt could be tarred with the brush of ap- proval by the Third International.

Fish Economical

The housekeeper who would
spend her food allowance to the
best advantage and provide the
greatest variety of culinary de-
lights for her family can scarcely
invest her time and efforts with
more wisdom than by learning
to know the value and qualities
of fresh, frozen and canned fish
and shellfish in our markets.
For fish whether fresh,
frozen or canned is a healthful,
wholesome and economical food.
It should find more frequent
use as the main dish in our
everyday meals as a substitute
for meat. And the fact that
salt water fish and shellfish
contain more iodine than any
other common food is an added
reasontfor using them frequent
ly in our meals, for other foods
lack an appreciate amount OF
this necessary mineral.

lower half of the coffee maker
is also the server, and holds 4
to 8 cups hot water according
to size. Pulverized coffee is
preferable for this type of coffee
maker. 1t is put into the top
and just as for other methods
use one spoonful of coffee. for
each cap.
When the water in the lower
part reaches the boiling point
it forces itself into the top and
from there it filters through the
coffee extracting it's strength,
then seeps back into the lower
compartment. The result is a
lovely, clear amber colored bev-
erage that is perfection itself.
If the breakfast is to be served
at 10 o'clock or later, it assumes
the proportions of a luncheon,
with such hearty main dishes as
boiled lamb chops or fried
chicken. This type of breakfast
precedes a bridge, a woman's
club group and sometimes the
nid-morning golfers breakfast.

Kitchen Code
For Summer

Every housewife should draw
up a code for the summer that
will include fewer hours in the
kitchen and lighter housework
generally, according to Kath-
arine Fisher, director of Good
Housekeeping Institute, who
offers these suggestions:
"Cut down on heavy concen-
trated foods and increase the
use Of COO; fruits, fruit juices
and green vegetables.
do most Of your cooking in
the morning after breakfast. If
you have q good rOomy refriger-
atOr, tuck your dinner on the
refrigerator shelves ready to pop
into the oven when the time ar
rives.
"Give your range a rest on
hot days. Use an electric stove,
a portable cooker, or a modern
oil range. II you have an cleo
trio beater, work it overtime as
there are few things more heat
ing than vigorous beating by
hand.
"Use paper towels in the
kitchen and bathroom. Have a
good set Of kitchen knives and
knife SharpenerS. Have q can
opener that works easily.
"Your carpet sweeper and
vacuum cleaner will help you
with the problem of keeping
your house free from dust, and
both will do better work II you
run them slowly.
Keep your house cool by
drawing down the awnings and
closing the windows during the
day. It is good housekeeping to
take the warm days easily, keep
serene, and keep the family
that way too They will well
come your change Of program
and enter into the spirit Of it,"
