tamper with those laws. There's nothing wrong Or
impouS about that. It's just curious that when the
government hampers with those laws is outrageous
but is perfectly sound when business themselves

THE Sugar Institute has been pleading before the
Supreme Court to allow sugar companies to get
together prices That, the sugar men feel would
be better than leaving prices to be fixed by the law
of supply and demand. The Cotton Textile InSti-
tute is here arguing that textile mills be allowed to
curtail their own hours, to pledge themselves to OBJ
certain provisions of the old MIRA textile code
to restrict hours of operation, and in other ways to
curb the sacred laws of supply and demand
Business generally regards it as so important that
production and competition be controlled that to the
support of the Sugar Institute have come not only
the textile manufacturers but the window glass
makers, the lumber manufacturers. and the con-
sumner goods industries committee. They all feel that
unless free competition be checked, or as they
put 1t, chiseling be prevented, all will suffer.

King Cotton
OSCAR JOHNSTON has just
" been put in the position of
controlling more cotton than any
other man in the worlds history.
In the government pool there
are 100000 bales. Under the con-
troll of the Commodity Credit
Corp there are 100000 bales.
For some time, Oscar Johnston
has been manager of the cotton
pool. More recently, due to illness
of Commodity Credits President
Lynn P. Talley, Johnston has be-
come president of that corporation
as we'll. Thus the total number of
bales under his thumb is 100000
The other day an excited cotton
broker, hearing that the govern
ment was going to dispose of some
of its cotton, called Johnston on
the phone.
What I want to know" he said,
lis this: Is there much danger
that these two government agen-
cies. each trying to sell cotton,
will interfere with one another?"
The manager of both agencies
assured him they would not.

Mr.. Richberg commented:
The principles and purposes of
agricultural relief advocated by
Gov. Smith in 1928 were put in
effect by President Roosevelt in
1888. They have been supported
by the farm leaders upon whom
Gov. Smith promised to rely.
They are opposed now as always
by those Republican leaders, of
whom Gov. Smith said in 1928,
I charge that they violated their
platform promises, that they de-
ceived the farmer, that they did
nothing whatever to contribute in
the slightest degree to relieve the
distress or promote the welfare
of the farmers of this country"

Candidate Smith said:
Under the protective system

The trouble with agriculture
is basic and fundamental, and it
can not be cured by the applica-
ton of remedies that do not go to
the very root of the disease. Gov.

leaders of agriculture generally
throughout the country are of

is one of the most thrilling and
certainly one of the most impor-
tant.
Excepting only India, the po-
litical and racial problems that
he faced were far greater than
in any of his other visits.
The first night at banquet at
Parliament House he had poured
oil on the troubled waters, and
then had brought the sturdy old
burghers to their feet in wild
round of cheers when he had ad-
dressed them in their native
tongue, saying: Gentlemen, am
very happy to meet you tonight,
and / thank you for your warm
welcome"
EVEN the native tribes, the old
~ fighting Zulus of West Afri-
, ca with whom the British had
fought for almost two generations,
were to sense the friendliness and
decency of this extraordinary
young man.
On one occasion the royal dais
was placed in the center of
sloping valley, with forty thousand
native warriors massed on the hill
side.
The addresses finished, the
Prince in his clear strong voice
made his reply! When the trans
lator had finished, from forty thou
sand Threats burst forth the fer
vent reclamation: "Bayete! Ba-
yete! BAYETEr Their spears,
raised high over their heads, glis-
tened in the warm sun.
A single chair was brought out
and, with chiefs squatting at his
feet, the Prince took his seat. I'm
nediately in front lay a great
stretch of open grassland.
On the slope beyond stood the
warriors in leopard skins and
great headdresses, with a picked
band wearing black plumes and
carrying oval Zulu shields and
a sheaf of throwing assagais and
other spears.
Crouching low, they would leap
high in the air, shaking their
shields and waving their weapons.
1t was the death dance of the
Zulus. Now the death chant was
over, and then came the barbaric
and fearsome blood chant, with
the shrill voices of women rising
above the cries of the warriors.
The front rank broke and three
chiefs in crimson headdress, with
great plumed anklets and brace
lets, danced to the center and led
a blood-curdling charge.
HARDLY more than a yard
l. i from the Prince, it ended.
Breaking into two columns, it
disclosed the advancing ranks of
women-tall, deep-chested black

Few men ever have witnessed
such pagan grandeur and such

1t was the outpouring of a
strong and emotional people, set
on fire by memories of war and
dreams of love. 1t encompassed
the very life and death of virile
natives who for thousand years
had kept in leash few of their
desires.
1t was the high mark of all the
numberless, colorful ceremonies,
fantastic gatherings, strange and
weird rituals and displays that
the Prince was to witness in these
years of travel.

Disastrous Delay

MEANWHILE the Administra-
4V1 ton can not delay much
longer in bringing out tax plan.
The new farm bill has been start
ed on its way through Congress
and steps must be taken to
finance it. Also, provision must
be made to raise the 5000, 000, 900
still owing farmers under the
AAA.
Inside word is that the tax plan
will sidestep the billion dollar rid
die and call only for funds to pay
for the new farm program, plus
the unpaid 5000, 100000 debt. This
will come to total of about
$500 900 900.
While ducking the question of
providing for possible refund of
the billion dollars. the Admins
tration will not let the issue go
wholly untouched. The plan is to
write into the new tax bill
language that will undertake to
validate the disputed sum.
Whether such retroactive legis-
lation will withstand court
scrutiny no one knows. But, as
one presidential adviser observed:
There is no harm in trying. The
government can't lose all the
time"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-02-05

XXTASHINGTON, Feb. BE-
w hind the uncertainty that
has marked the Administration S
course on the Forthcoming tax
program is a BRAIN twisting rid
die that only the United States
Supreme Court can answer. It is
a billion dollar enigma.
During the two and a half
years existence of the late AAA.
this amount was collected in pro-
cessing taxes-almost entirely
from the pockets of consumers
and went into the pockets of
farmers in the form of crop bene-
fit payments.
This billion dollars is in an
entirely different category from
the $200,000,000 recently ordered
returned to professors by the
Supreme Court.
The 100000, 900 had not been
passed on to the growers. 1t was
held in escrow pending the courts
decision on the AAA. It's return
will be bad blow to the Presi-
dents budget plans and will ne
cessitate raising of new funds to
make up the loss, but it is a tan
gible and concrete problem.
The billion dollar dilemma, how
ever, is not. In preparing rate
schedules for the new tax bill,
Administration master minds don't
know what to do; whether to
figure on means of paying the
billion or to disregard the huge
potential liability.
Inner council legalists differ
widely as to the governments
accountability. Some believe, on
the basis of the Supreme Courts
order that the $500, 100000 be re-
turned, that the government must
eventually refund the billion.
Others dispute this. But on one
thing all are agreed-that only
the nine justices can settle the
question.
