TAKING" TALK DOESN'T HURT

With Germany, Italy and Japan ap-
parently ready to make common cause of
their own unrest and to match their power
against that which may be arrayed to
stop their civilization of lesser areas,
the democrats nations of the world are
taking lot of talk in their effort to
prevent war.
Soviet Russia, however, is not so mild
It's leaders meet challenge with challenge
and boasts with more boasting. Foreign
Minister Litvinoff, for example, referring
to the Fascist challenges to "peace-loving
democratic States" hopes that before
long those States will stand up to them. "
When this happens, the world will
have another war because Germany, Italy
and Japan will never surrender their
dreams and become second rate powers
voluntarily. So it might be wiser, just
now, for democratic nations to take" the
talk.

Concern, which has been reported
In the Nations Capitol, regarding the
expediency of imposing restrictions
on hot money" from abroad, is case
in point. Should the stock market
sink into any prolonged reaction,
criticism might easily develop that
the observed prosperity was in
some way unsound. If So. an official
explanation would come in handy.
What could be better strategy than to
prepare it beforehand? Why not
blame any decline on foreign inves-

AS matter of fact the 81, 900, 000.00
of our securities now held abroad is
only 212 times their value in July,
1914, when business was at a very
low ebb. Besides, the figure is insig-
nificant when compared with the total
market value of listed securities on
November /, 1886, amounting to Sl01.-
637. 600 600. Moreover, it is less than
1/5 of the increase of $37, 918, 100000
in the value of these securities since
November l, 1888.
So, if our prosperity" is wholly
sound, any temporary decline in Sc

A demand that Congress strip
all "pork-barrel" items out of all
pending flood control legislation
and compel benefitting localities
to share the cost burden was made
today by Senator Copeland CD
of New York, chairman of the Sen
ate Commerce Committee.
Copeland limited that appropria-
lions, obligating the Federal Gov
eminent to assume the full cost
of constructing local flood control
projects, such as levees, might be
unconstitutional. He cited the &C
ton of the Governments founders
in refusing to write into the Con-
stitution a provision calling for
Federal construction of canals.
The Commerce Committee al
ready has adopted a "yard-stick'
for. flood control projects which
would strike from flood control
legislation all projects not ap-
proved by Army engineers. One
such item, a $4,000 900 appropri-
alton for a reservoir on the White
River in Arkansas, was slipped into
the $272 1000, 900 Mississippi flood
control bill, despite this yard.
