NEW YORK, July Early fore
casts of IS per cent gain in sales
this year for manufacturers of agri-
cultural machinery are apparently
finding verification so far in 1886,
according to a report on the agricul-
tural machinery manufacturing in
dustry issued by Poor's Publishing Co.
The demand for tractors which ac-
counted for some 40 per cent of the
industry's sales last year is showing
marked expansion again in 1896. the
report states.
Gains are evident in foreign sales
of farm machinery, according to the
report. Exports were Al per cent
ahead of the corresponding period OF
a year ago for March alone. while for
the first quarter the relative gain was
just under 36 per cent.

Crisis i'm Palestine.

Complications in Palestine which orig
mated with the ancient hostility between
Arabs and Jews have assumed grave
international aspect. Formal charges
have been made in the House of Com
mons that anti-Britishs propaganda
broadcast into Palestine from Italy is
largely responsible for melting the Arabs
to resent British protection of the Jews
under the Balfour declaration. Foreign
Secretary Eden, protesting against these
maneuvers not only in Palestine, but also
in India, announces that Great Britain
is watching the situation carefully and
has made formal remonstrances at Rome,
This action is the climax of reports cur
rent during the past year that the
Fascists were engaged in systematic
effort to undermine British prestige in
the holy land, in the Near East and in
India. 1t was officially declared at the
time that such Italian Vaccinations were
responsible for British fieet concentra-
tions in the Mediterranean.
Meantime Arab-Jewish disturbances
are growing more serious. Numerous
casualties have resulted from rioting
and from clashes between Arabs and
British police forces. Late Arab ami
mostly toward the Jews exceeds in bitter
ness anything that has hitherto char
acterized the feud, which springs from

Famous Sights.

Capt. Fritz Kruse has brought the
Hamburg American world cruise liner
Reliance back to New York after 35,70O
miles of globe-touring. Passengers had
one hundred and thirty-nine days of
sightseeing in thirty-nine ports. And
the public at large may be interested to
hear their opinions of the most thrilling
things they saw.
BY process of referendum the ships
company decided that they liked South
Africa best among countries visited.
Peiping was "the best city" and the Tai
Mahal, in India, "the finest edifice." Rio
de Janeiro was voted the premier harbor,
and other most popular" items were:
Bali, "favorite island; Fujiyama, most
beautiful mountain; Ganges, finest
river; Shangai Bund, greatest street.;
Tiger Hill, Darjeeling, most beautiful
view," and the Buitenzorg, in Java, "best
botanical garden"
A minority, doubtless inspired by mem
ories of particularly gracious hospitality,
declared: Hawaii is the finest place Of

merely said: Everything is grand

The Years Only Can
Tell About Cotton

From the Charlotte Observer.
The South's advanced economic think
ers are much alarmed over the prospect
that the cotton producing empire will
this year let out its belt and make too
much of this staple.
And thinks, of course-by no means
ifiably-that if the South should
turn up in the Fall with bumper crop,
there is nothing that even the inspired
New Deal can do to save our economic
situation.
Well, for one thing, times do change.
If the files of the newspapers of IS
years ago this Spring were to be con-
suited, one would discover reports in
such columns indicating that the agri-
cultural leaders of the South were plead
ing with the cotton producers to make
more cotton.
They were interceding that they go to
all manner of extremes to accomplish
this end-use more fertilizer, clear up
new. grounds, abandon other acreages
and concentrate upon an increase in cot
ton output.
Time, however, has a way of working
things out better than mans temporary
judgments.
Perhaps that philosophy Of increased
production Is years ago was inspired by
good Judgment and sound economics.
Perhaps the philosophy of decreased
production today is inspired by the same
motives. Who knows?
The years only can tell.

The Troubled Spirit.
Of the wonderful men on this wonder
full earth
There's one we most marvel to see.
When we're sad his performance will
move us to mirth:
When we're glad he will temper our
glee.
He sings in the choir of the key, very
loud;
He spoils the good cheer when you
sup.
He is sure to break into the happiest
crowd,
The fellow who muses. things up!
His yearnings are constant. His moods
are so strange
That to guess them you struggle In
vain;
When he gets his own way his ideas
will change
And he wants it all over again.
Yet for power he longs. He will eagerly
claim
Ambitions intoxicant cup
And we hail him a man well entitled
to fame
For his genius for mussing things up!

Effective Criticism.

More than any other Republican
member OF, Congress, Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg of Michigan has effectively
challenged the attention of the country
with specific criticisms of New Deal leg
islation and administration. 1t was
Vandenberg, for example, who called
attention to the large sums of money
which were being paid to individual
farmers and corporations under the
operation of the A. A. A. 1t was VAN
denberg who pinned so successfully the
label of waste on the Florida ship canal
and the Passamaquoddy projects, which
we're costing the people of the country
millions of dollars. And now it is VAN
denberg who has summed up tersely the
Republican criticism of the administra-
tion's new tax bill. Any punitive tax on
undiStributed earnings is inevitably an
assault on thrift and prudence" the
Michigan Senator contends. He believes
that it would be far better to attempt
to save 600,o00000 than to levy this tax
on corporations. Perhaps the country,
when it considers the matter, will agree.
Any one may criticize. To criticize
effectively is another matter. Senator
Vandenberg has picked weaknesses in
New Deal administration and has drama
tized them in way that the American
people can understand. The A. A. A
was set up to enable the many small
farmers of the United States to make
enough money on which to live and have
something beyond mere necessities. 1t
was scarcely within the picture that
sums up to $4,000 and more were to be
paid by the Government annually to
certain farmers and corporations owning
farms. Yet that is what has been done.
The Michigan Senator is liberal in his
point of view on social legislation,
although he is against the waste of
public funds on impractical-or worse
reforms" When it comes to consti-
tutional issues, however, and the reten-
ton of the form of Government which
has been maintained in this country MIR.
Vandenberg is thoroughly conservative.
1t is perhaps on account of his liberalism
that he has been charged with favoring
the New Deal by some Republicans in
the past. He has liberal ideas and be-
lieves in them. He believes, however,
that they should be put into effect in
manner that is constitutional. His con-
tention is that the New Deal admins
tration has sought to carry on liberal
program in manner that is violative Of
the Constitution and in manner that
seeks to centralize power in the. hands
of few in Washington.
The Senator from Michigan has cour-
age. He was one of small group who
voted against the immediate cash pay
ment of the soldiers Unconstitutional it
was obvious that to support the payment
at this time Yas politically wise. He
supported the proposal to have the
United States adhere to the World Court,
although some of his friends warned
him that such a stand would be unpop-
ular in many of the States. His sup
port of liberal objectives, even though
they may have been advanced by the
Roosevelt administration, shows an inde-
pendent turn of mind.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC UILLIAM VILE.

leader of the House and prospective
permanent chairman at Cleveland,
blasting New Deal expenditure forecasts
that the Republicans are going to star
that proposition in the coming cam
paign. Smell asserts that this policy of
reckless squandering is the most urgent
issue before the American people today"
Charging that since March 4, 1888. the
Roosevelt administration has spent
little more than two dollars for every
dollar of revenue the Treasury received,
Smell fixes the accumulated deficit,
based on official figures, at S11 ,306, ,88l ,l58
ProSpectively, this will be his theme song
when he takes possession of the pre-
siding officers gavel at the convention.
Gov. Landon's nomination would of
itself personify the issue on which the
Republicans hope to prevent President
Roosevelt's reelection. When party
leaders are asked how it comes that
the Governor of "a typical prairie
State" who was unknown to the coun-
try two years ago, should today be the
almost interchangeable contender for his
party'S presidential nomination, the al

incarnates as no one else does the rising
national resentment against a program
Of Federal expenditure in defiance of
Notwithstanding considerations. The
Kansan has undoubtedly been popularity
sold as man likely to practice thrift
and economy for the Nation as effec-
lively as he's done it for Kansas. That's
the psychology of the Landon move
ment." On those lines his campaign
for the presidency mainly would be
fought.
Retirement of Mark L. Requa as Re-
publican national committeeman from
California denotes a definite leSSening of
Hoover influence in the States party
affairs. When Mr.. Requa entered the
national committee in 1881, he was
looked upon as the personal representa-
tive of President Hoover, with whom he
has long maintained close comrade-
ship as a personal friend and brother
mining engineer. Requa was also
ministrator.
Norman Thomas, with his third nomi-
nation Tor the presidency on the social
ist ticket, now enters the William Jen-
nings Bryan class as a thrice-named
candidate for the highest Office within
the gift of the American people. In
addition to his various quests for the
White House job, Mr.. Thomas was
once the Socialist candidate for Gov
ernor of New York and twice his party S
nominee for MAYOR of New York City.
His total popular vote for President in
l932-884, ,78l-fell far short OF general
expectations. This time Socialists be-
lieve they will run up a considerably
heavier total and one well above the

who ever has travelled abroad, it would
seem, will have his own special choice
of memorable spectacles. Sunset over
Cobb, for example, is miracle OF nat

cornflowers among the wheat in Ger
many, the eidelweiss in Switzerland, the
violetS Of France blossom in the heart
forever. And there are other impress
sionS equally deathless-Cologne Cathe-

surely would be one of them. Also, there
are the tomb of Napoleon, flooded with
emerald haze, in the InvalideS, in Paris;
the wonderful tracery ceiling of the
Henry VII Chapel of Westminster Abb
hey, in London; the Rembrandts at AM
sterdam and The Hague; st. Gudules,
In Brussels, and the Somber and eerie

isbury with its tallest of English spires,
tapering shaft of silver in the night;
evening over the Seine as returning
tourists hurry to Havre for the boat.
The list is endless, and it should be
so-because the whole planet is mar
velous for those who care for magical
cause and effect.
But, whisper it gently, the most excit-
ing vision of all is that of home. The
wanderers invariably are glad to get
back-for a while.

Arab resentment of Jewish immigration
on a constantly rising scale. Although
the heavy influx of European Jews,
mainly due to conditions in Germany
and Poland, has turned Palestine into
the most prosperous agricultural and
industrial center of the Near and Middle
East, the Arabs are alarmed by the
menace of eventual Jewish political, as
well as economic, domination. Largely
under leadership Of the younger Arab
element, the nationalistic ideal is now
being agitated on fanatical lines, with
vehement demand that the British
abandon the policy of sanctioning un-
restricted immigration. British i'm
perialism is depicted as "a source of
enmity and Zionism as the offspring OF
that enmity." Arabs insist there can be
no amelioration of, the situation short
of remuneration of the Jewish national
home idea and the willingness of Jewish
residents to accept Arab control, under
which, it is claimed, they long enjoyed
ullLiiOiCoVCQ lltCo.
Jewish spokesmen in Jerusalem assert
that Palestine is no longer and never
will again become a purely Arab country.
They disavow any ambition to make it
a purely Jewish land. They claim that,
despite Jewish immigration, the Arab
population is rapidly increasing and be-
coming more firmly rooted. Palestine
is described as the only country in
which the Jewish people can work out
their national salvation. From that
standpoint the controversy now raging
is held to be an issue of interest not
only to Great Britain, but to public
opinion throughout the world. In Prime
Minister Baldwin's recent announcement
that Britain will fulfill her mandate
responsibilities to the limit lies the chief
hope that there may be found ways
and means of effecting Arab-Jewish CO.
operation as the only sound solution Of
highly delicate problem.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Triumph of the cicadas!
Despite the cruel feet Of small boys
the ravenous jaws Of dogs, the untiring
wheels Of motor cars, the "locusts" are
aloft at last.
In the trees, after II years in the
ground, they roar their welcome to the
sun.
Hear themi
That steady, highz pitched sound?
"Like the roar of lfons," one Washing
tonian said, calling excitedly over the
telephone.
Perhaps It resembles q celestial saw
mill, bully operating in the skies.
1t is an unmistakable noise, once you
get it in your ears.
Those locusts have outsoared calumny
and strife, as the poet said in another
connection.
But what a time of it they had!
We were watching them on a privet
hedge. They dotted the top leaves and
pruned branches, some in their hard
shells, some just out.
Their little red eyes looked at a strange
world, a Washington which had under
gone more changes in II years than
they had.
Each locust seemed undecided as to
what to do, as it ceaSelessly pulled its
light brown legs backward and forward
over the leaves.
Those at the end of cut lengths Of
branch were particularly upset. Around
and around they went never going more
| than an inch in one direction before
| turning of into another, to repeat the
same short journey all over again.
Were those locustS "in a rut," as a
| human being is said to be who never
gets ahead?
One particularly fat fellow, with very
| shining wings, started across the park
| ing, needless of the treading feet of peo-
| pie waiting for the bus connection.
When the insect got within foot ot
our feet we stepped over slightly to one
side of it.
Waving its feelers, it turned and be-
gan walking in our direction.
Again we moved.
The cicada stopped. used its sensory
| apparatus, turned, came again in oul
direction.
This was a sort of game, evidently.
The question was: What made the
| III IL W wan AL foSct oA q AoA o.
shape utterly outside its comprehension?
It could not have been any attraction
! of locust for man, or vice vesra, as
| pleasing as that would have been in
some respects, SO surely it must have
| been some influence of light or shade
| and the desire to seek one or the other

A small boy about years old, neatly
dressed and. evidently from good people
stopped to look down at our particular
| cicada slowly moving toward our feet
Suddenly, like a viper's tongue, tht
right foot of the boy shot out anc
trampled the locust to death.
He grinned proudly.
| What did you want to do that for?'
we asked weakly. 1T wasn't hurting

locust had why it was crawling ovel
