 Copper'S year had three important mile-posts. The first was the agree ment of the international copper conference in March to chop output abroad by about 30 percent from the then current rate for three years and to eliminate price fixing.
 The second was the U. s. Supreme Courts invalidation of the MIRA in May, which brought drop in the price of blue eagle" copper to cents from the cent peg, where it had hung since the summer of 1884.
 The third was the subsequent re- covery of prices to around 9A cents. It was hauled back uphill by both domestic recovery and by aggressive buying for war purposes on the con- tinent and the far east.
 As business drove ahead, it also took lead and zinc in tow for price gains of to percent.

LEWIS NOVEL ADDED
 TO LIBRARY
It Can't Happen Here Is Story of Possible Die
 tatorship in U. 5.

In purchasing Sinclair Lewis fiery new novel, Tt Can't Happen Here, ]" the Juneau Public Library has made available to Channel readers one of the most challenging book. to come out of the political situation
 Based on an imaginary third-par- ty victory in the 1886 election, the book pictures the establishment of dictatorship in America. To quote a New York review:
 "Doremus Jessup, hero of the book, is country editor. His peo- pie have been Vernionters for gen. erations. He believed in the Amer ican democracy-but he believed too that no country in history was so ripe for a dictatorship as America. Tt can't happen here!" hard head ed business men of Fort Buelah, Vermont, told him-but Jessup had seen the rise of Huey Longs empire in Louisiana, had seen Father Coughlin and Bishop Prang sway millions over the air, had watched the swift rise to power of Senator Berzelius Windrip, greatest of the demagogues, and his League of For gotten Men. He sensed the chang es in the air, the coming of the day when freedom, constitutional guarantees and truth as a democ- racy understands it would be lost to America. But even Doremus could not foresee the full force of the terror that was to sweep the country; the maelstrom that was to crash across America in fury of blood and hate, carrying to de- struction himself and all that he held dear.
 Tt is a novel to stand with Bab- bitt and Main Street on the shelf of great American novels; a furious and inspiring story that probes deeply into the troubles of our chaotic modern world.'

SHOW GOES ON
MINUS STAR

Whether or not the star ap-
pears, the show must go on.
Such is the old tradition in
the theatrical business, and it
was followed to the letter last
night when Senator Jesse H. Met
calf of Rhode Island, failed to
make a speech during the open
ing performance of * apital
Kapers," a revue presented at the
National Theater by the District
of Columbia Division of the
Young Democratic Clubs of
America.
The interest in the promised
appearance of the solon lay in
the fact that he is a Republican
invited by mistake.
Both sides reacted chivalrously
to the error, and it was de-
termined to permit the G.. o. P.
leader to give his youthful OPP
ponentS some good, sound ad-
vice" last night. His absence
was officially explained by the
fact that he had gone to Cleve-
land for his party's national con-
vention.

FARM WOMEN
HAIL SUCCESS
OF FARLEY
Foreign Delegates ir
Visits to Virginia,
MARYLAND Estates

After what they term 1.-The most
successful Of the three triennial
conferences held to date" more
than 1000 farm women today are
in the midst Of a back to the land
movement. They have been in
Washington since last Monday at
tending the third triennial confer
ence of the Associated Country
Women of the World.
While most of the American
delegates and members Of the in
ternational farm organizations are
homeward bound today, some 100
country women from 20 different
foreign nations and others who
attended the conference, are visit
ing various cooperative markets
and noted farms in the Maryland
Virginia area.
A number Of officers and dele
gates are remaining in washing
ton to attend various business and
executive om m tee meetings
which will be held Monday. Visits
to rural places of nearby Virginia
and Maryland, and of West Vir'
GINA, will be made on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, with
the departure from Washington
of the overseas and Canadian
delegates scheduled for Friday.
German Delegate Talks
The outstanding feature of yes
terday's sessions was the address
Of Frau Kuessner Gerhard, of
Berlin, a member of the German
national farm organization, the
Reichsnahrstand. Frau Gerhard
indicated that she, like most of
her international sisters, feels
that "the sooner all countries
find means and ways of bringing
health, security and order to agri-
culture, the sooner it will be pos
sible to establish an ordered in
terchange of goods between ma
tions. founded on mutual faith
and respect"
Mere economic teaching has not
brought about the cure of the
dreaded disease of economic de.
pressionS, Frau Gerhard declared,
as she explained the success Of
the German agrarian policy in
overcoming the evils of "overpro-
duction, improbable prices and
unstable markets." She said:
"The new German agrarian
policy is trying to cure our ills
by STRENGTHENING and securing
the position of agriculture as
whole. The fundamental idea
underlying all Germa ny'S
schemes is that an era of free
unhampered action by the in
dividual without any cOnsid.
Grafton for the State or nation
belongs to the past"
LAUDS NAZI RULE
Frau Gerhard explained that
the organizing of the Reichs-
nahrStand formed the foundation
for the drawing up of the produc-
ton and marketing rules after
the existence of separate farms
had been ensured and safeguard
ed through the law governing
hereditary farms. She explained:
'The Marketing Order of
Germany" means: Firstly, find
ing a quicker and cheaper way
from the producer to the con-
sumner through the organizing
Of distribution; secondly, the
fixing Of steady and staple
processes which cover the cost
Of production without laying
too great a burden on the con-
sumner. 1t is obvious that
through the help of the inner
marketing order it became pos
Sible in Germany to receive
exact information concerning
supply and demand"
