ment. The feeling was genera.

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

ILA1l\IAL NAOLIA v IL ON1AINh
The personnel of the new Federal
Reserve Board is generally regarded
as being satisfactory even to such
critics as Senator Glass, who has
buried the hatchet in his feud with
Chairman Eccles.
Mr.. Eccles' influence at the White
House is steadily increasing. The
President relies upon him in finan-
cial matters almost as much as he
does upon Secretary Morgenthau,
and both Mr.. Eccles and Mr.. Nor
genthau are determined that there
shall be no inflationary movements
so far as the Treasury and the Fed
eral Reserve System can control of
the monetary situation.

CONGRESS HAS TAX PR ROB-
LEM

As good guess as any is that
the President will recommend new
taxes to yield close to a billion dol
lars a year, and that Congress will
not vote all of them. There is a
feeling that an excise tax on proe.s-
sors of agricultural products to take
the place of the AAA taxes would
have bad reaction from consumers
in cities, but it is pretty safe guess
that something of this sort will be
enacted.
What Congress would like to do
would be to find some way Of put
ting more taxes on business without
raising consumer prices. There is
talk about higher excess profits tax
ON corporations and increasing in
, tercorporate dividend taxes. The
President is expected to urge new
inheritance taxes, but that Congress
will adopt them is doubtful. Much
more talk is heard of general
manufacturers sales tax, and that is
entirely possible.
One of the latest plans being seri-
ously discussed is for a law to
legalize lotteries and put heavy
tax on them. That appears to a
good many of the city members,
but the rural districts are supposed
to be against it. On the other hand,
many members from the West and
South favor increasing the liquor
taxes, to which the city representa-
tives are opposed.
Somewhere along the line, how
ever, billion dollars more than
has been provided for must be
found, and the Administration def
nitely does not want to have to do
any more important borrowing.

Strangely enough, Elsinore was

was wildly aware of that warm,

shake it off? Vaguely she was aware
that the contact and pressure were

there was real warmth under that

away entirely by his crazy out

different from the usual run of wise

offices.
After a while he pressed the
buzzer that should summon her to

He pressed the button again. The

Waging War on Porpoise
Menace to Cod Fisheries

Steamship passengers who watch
the porpoise merrily cavorting, as
if showing off, may be surprised to
learn that this gregarious cetacean
of the North Atlantic is a menace
in some sections of the sea, and is
therefore marked for destruction as
a protection to fisheries, says the
Washington Post.
Passengers on cruises to the Sa-
guenay River via the Franconia
may view the warfare that is being
waged against porpoises in the vast
nesses of the St. Lawrence River
and Gulf. PROPOSES are arch enc
mics of cod fishers. A voracious
species of the whale family, the
porpoise feeds mostly on small fish,
sweeping the water of the smaller
fry upon which the cod fish SUBJ
sists. The cod, as its food supply
is gradually exhausted, is forced to
seek subsistence elsewhere and
migrates to water free of the por-
poise. The porpoise also destroys
large quantities of small cod fish.
The porpoise menace has become
so serious a one that the Canadian
government has decided to wage a
regular warfare upon the maraud-
ing big fish. To help in the work
boats have been equipped with
small guns or high-powered rifles
and these have wrought havoc with
schools of porpoises in the Gulf of
st. Lawrence and the st. Lawrence
River. Planes have been brought
into play, making attacks by means
of bombs and depth charges. The
results have been so satisfactory
that the campaign will be carried on
indefinitely.
In addition to the action taken by
the department of colonization and
fisheries, the Canadian government
has also encouraged fishermen to
hunt and capture porpoises for COM
mercial purposes. The blubber,
when rendered, supplies an oil
which is nearly as valuable as that
of the whale; the skin may be
tanned and used in the manufac-
ture of leather goods, while the
bone and the offal have market
values.
In the old days porpoise hunting
was quite a sport. Some clever de-
vices were adopted to lure the great
fish close enough so it could be
either shot or harpooned. Fishers
would stuff the skin of a dead por-
poise with straw and so load the
dummy" that it would float in a
natural manner, with its white belly
just beneath the surface of the
water; they would also paint the
bottom of their sl1iffs and boats
white, so that the porpoises would
imagine that what they saw above
them was the white belly of one of
their kind, and rise to the surface
without suspicion, to be better de-
stroyed or captured by the "hun-
ter"
