FOOD FROM ABROAD

Figures compiled from government
sources show that great quantities of food
stuffs had to be imported into the United
States from foreign countries last year to
make up the shortage caused by domestic
crop curtailment policies and the effects of
the drouth of 1884.
This happened in spite of the heavy
tariff on farm products from abroad, and
these imports represented food which
should have been pfoduced on more than
Is million acres of American land
Included in these imports were A.
052,O00 bushels of wheat, paying a tariff
of AZ cents a bushel; 20, 427 900 bushels of
corn, paying tariff of rs cents bushel;
22,393,OO0 pounds of butter, paying a
tariff of Is cents a pound; 3,476,OO
pounds of cotton seed oil, 100000
bushels of barley, besides considerable
quantities of other agricultural products.
Needless to say, exports of American
farm products, except cotton, dwindled to
near nothing, and cotton exports were
greatly reduced.
The reduction of crop acreage in the
United States naturally caused a CORE
Gponding reduction in employment of farm
labor and consequent increase in public
expenditures for Unemployment relief.
Tinkering with the law of supply and
demand by politicians thus appears to be
rather futile business, and the sooner it is
abandoned the better it will probably be
for the entire country.

AID FOR THE DEAF

Through an invention recently ex-
hibited by DR.. Frederick Bedell, professor
of physics at Cornell University, a great
many persons who are supposed to be
deaf can hear music satisfactorily through
their teeth.
Briefly described, the apparatus used
is special photograph receiver, terminal
ing in a metal disc, against which one end
OF stick. of wood is placed, the other end
being held lightly between the listeners
teeth
The sound vibrations pass directly to
the auditory nerves through the teeth and
jawbones, even though the eardrums have
been destroyed. Of course, destruction of
the auditory nerves themselves would for
ever preclude hearing, but many cases of
deafness result merely from defects in the
outer ear. In such cases DR.. Bedells in
vention would make hearing possible.
An idea advanced in connection with
the new device is that the special trans
mtters might be placed near radio or
photograph, or even attached to the seats
of a talkie picture theater. The deaf lis
tener could provide himself with the neces-
sary wooden stick and ''listen in at his
pleasure, using his teeth as normal persons
use their ears.
There would even be some advantage
in such a procedure. The listeners would
not be annoyed by the irrelevant remarks
and alleged wit of back seat auditors.

KAGAWA's CHRISTIAN PROGRAM

Christians in the United States will
probably be interested in the plans of Dr..
Toyohiko Kagawa to establish 1000
chapels in Japan to serve as community
and religious centers.
DR.. Kagawa, one of the noted ex-
ponants of Christianity in Japan, has re-

chapels in his home Land and plans to use
them in the day time for day nurseries; in

for church services; and in the Winter for
agricultural Institutes.
1t will be observed that the Japanese
leader will attempt to carry religion into
the full activities of the individuals whom
he expects to erve. Possibly, his program
and the reasoning behind it could be
studied with good effect"by the churches

Much that has been done cannot
be undone whether we like it or not
Those who regret it must now with
entire frankneSS accept the situation
as it is and consider the next steps.
OF course they will demand Repub-
lican leadership. OF course there will
be some attempt to catch votes by be-
ing ''all things t. all men," But these
are new times. The faulty and foolish
experiments should be abandoned
Experience dictates many improve
ments that should be made in politi-
cal organization and methods. and
these should be demanded by the
conservatives of both parties.
But how about those who have ia
vored these changes and perhaps want
others like them? They also should
hesitate. Even if the movement has
been in the right general direction.
mistakes should be acknowledged
Our tinkering with the golc dollar
and our CHASTITY silver policy have
been failures and should be given up
Serious abuses have developed in the
administration of public relief. Why
not acknowledge these errors. even If
it be done only tacitly?
On the broader issues. too, the lib
erals or radicals ought to make con-
ceSSions. Even If they welcome what
has happened they should realize that
the pace should now be moderated.
There is such thing as too rapid
movement, even if it is in the right
direction.
1t is time to call halt If we are
moving in the wrong direction we
should certainly stop. Even if the di-
rection is right we should pause and
consolidate any gains that have been
made. Aside from few fanatics the
American public do not desire any
thing approaching a political or eco
nomic revolution.
Many improvements are demanded
and should be made. Fortunately the
Republican platform comedies many
of them. If we can only see it. there
is a common ground upon which
thoughtful citizens can unite and
whose significance should be clear to
the victorious party. Let us get to-
gether.

least seeming reversal of position
on some issues. Historically the Re-
publicans have stood for strong CEN
trail government while the Democrats
have been advocates of states rights
and local initiative. During the last
few years this has been changed. Fed
eral activity and control have greatly
increased and the Republicans are
protesting.
AS a result, there is confusion in
both camps. There are many Republic
cans who call themselves liberal who
believe that economic and political
life is now too complex for our old
organization and procedure. They are
sympathetic toward some of the re-
cent changes. On the other hand,
many Democrats are strongly opposed
to so much concentration of control
in Washington and are deeply resent
full of many of the procedures that
have been followed. Some even an
nounce that they will this year vote
for the Republican candidate.
This shifting about need not sur
prise US. We are in the midst of a
worldwide upheaval Many of our
problems are not peculiar to the
United States. In different forms they
exist all over the globe. Profound re-
adjustments are taking place. Start
