WASHINGTON - WPA officials
" In Washington arc chuckling

which has already nctted the gov
eminent profit of S2,000,000
above its cost, and may yield
4 great deal more. When the
profit mounts a few more mil
ions. they're going to do a little
public chortling.
This "boondoggle" include S
three projects for "white-collar"
WPA workers, set up by the Bu-
,eau of Internal Revenue. One is
Tor reviewing income tax returns,
one for reviewing miscellaneous
AK returns, and one for invcsti-
eating liquor dealers.
Together, they've cost little
more than 100000. And they've
already collected more dian S.
)00,00 in taxes and made possible
he assessment of S8,627, 900 more
which the regular bureau admin

All WPA workers on the prof.
sct were taken from relief rolls,

carefully selected oa<; 3l85 of
them were given a threc-wcck

The point Is, that the regular

Unloading gained momentum as traders sought to take profits Wheat fell more than 5 cents a bushel from the highs and closed with losses of 1-8 to 3-4 cent. Corn held 2 5-8 to 3 5-8 cents of its gain Oats closed off 1-S to up 3-S cent; rye off 1-2 to 1 7-8 cents, and Barley up 4 to 4 1-2 cents.

BRITISH ANGRY
 AT UNITED STATES

Charlottesville, Va, July 7.-(UPll Americas traditional policy of freedom of the seas will be the dan- ger point in the event of another general European war, F. H. ". Amy, British banker, told the Uni- versity of Virginia Institute of Pub- lie Affairs otday.
 It was freedom of the seas that drew the United States into the World War and not desire to pre- serve democracy. Alrny said, adding;
 "You beheld the rape of Belgium without lifting a hand: you saw France overrun; Great Britain beat- en almost to her knees, but you pointed to your political doctrines and shibboleths and maintained your attitude of almost cynical iais- sez falre."
 It was not until the Lustania was sunk, Amy contendcd, thai America's ''immediate intcrcsts' were threatened sufficiently to cause entry into the war on the side ol the allies.
 And that factor" he said. "wlll be present in the next war and in every war"

SENATOR BORAH
 STICKS TOPARTY

Washington, July 7-(U.P)-The avowal of Senator William E Borah, R., Idaho, that he will not bolt his party during the coming campaign was taken by republican leaders today to indicate he will take an energetic part in behalf of the candidacy of Governor Ali Lan- don. His announcement, still leav- ing in doubt his candidacy for re- election, quieted rumors to the ef- feet that he might join other pro- gressives in supporting President Roosevelt, or that he might cafn- paign on behalf of Representative William Lemke, R., N. D.
 To republicans word of Borah's decision was welcome news. They regarded the possibility that he might not come Into line as a threat to the farm belt vote, a vote re- garded by many as essential to party victory. Democratic leaders had not taken seriously rumors that B0rah might support Roosevelt. His decision probably fell most harsh- V on third party ears. To them t could cniy mean that Borah would keep in republican lines many of those they might have hoped to coax from that party.
