For the seven months ended or
January 31st, almost the same OBJ
servation applies. The excess OF
merchandise exports was $315,-
$4,000 and net imports of silver
were $314,966, 900. During tha
same period our net gold imports
amounted to almost 100000
600. AS this gold was not neces-
sary to settle the trade balance of
about ST 900, 900, it is obvious that
the gold came to this country for
other reasons. Probably seeking
safety through investments in
American securities, the yellow
metal from abroad played part
in the recent advance on the stock
market.
Relief for the nations unem-
ployed continues to dominate the
fiscal policies of the government.
Talk of a balanced budget is vain
unless this drain on the treasury
is removed, either by increasing
employment through regular chan
nels or abandonment of the policy
Of aiding the jobless by the Fed
eral Government.
Figures show that the govern
ment spent $2.338,OO0,000 in at
lacking unemployment during the
twelve months ending July l.
1884. The next year direct and
work relief required S3,188,000,-
600 and for the present fiscal
year, which ends next July, the
total is estimated to be above 3d.
oOO,oOO,OOO.
These figures include funds
spent by the Federal Surplus Re-
lief Corporation. the CCC, and the
REA. Major items also include
the CWA expenditure, largely in
1884, the PWA millions in each
year, and the recently inaugural
ed WPA, which is expected to
continue during the next fiscal
year.

Memorial to Crusoe

The government of Chile has
decided to make a national park
of Robinson Crusoe's island in
the Pacific, Juan Fernandez.
The cave where lived Alexan-
der Selkirk, the original of Rob-
inson Crusoe, the lookout from
which he watched for passing
ships, and his other associations
will now be in the care of keep
ers, and guides will be available
for visitors to the island.
Alexander Selkirk, the son of a
Scots shoemaker, ran away to sea
and rose to be sailing master in
one of Captain Dampier's priva-
teers in the South Seas. In Sep
TENDER, 1904, he quarreled with
his captain and had himself
landed with his effects on the I'M
inhabited island of Juan Fernan-
DEE. He lived there till January.
1909, when Captain Wodes Rog-
ers took him on board.
Captain Rogers told his story
in book three years later, and
it was mostly from this account
that Defoe built up his immortal
story for boys.

coast at Valencia and Alicante,
chief sources of the governments
food supplies. Leaders Of the
insurgents claimed they held Huel-
va, important seaport, and all the
territory between Seville and the
Portuguese border.
The government, now red die
tatorship, has taken possession OF
all church property and assumed
control of all industry and agricul-
ture. It also has confiscated the
merchant marine to form a defense
fleet. The loyalists were encour-
aged by victories in and around
San Sebastian.
Fascist Italy has been accused
of aiding the Spanish rebels, and it
is asserted a number of Italian
bombing planes were sent to them
in Morocco. The leftist French
government naturally is in sympa-
thy with the Madrid government
and Frenchmen, unarmed, have
been given permission to cross the
border to, aid in putting down the
rebellion. German and Russian
sympathies, also, are ranged on
opposite sides, and all this caused
fears that a general war might re-
suit. France called on all other
nations to preserve neutrality, and
Spain warned Italy and Germany
to keep hands off.
Day by day the struggle in Spain
became bloodier and more ruth
less. Summary executions of pris-
oners were common on both sides
and these deaths were probably as
numerous as those in battle. The
government planes shower d
bombs on the rebel strongholds,
virtually destroying many towns;
and the Fascist bombers engaged
in desperate fights with loyal war
ships. 4

Lewis and Allies Absent

When A. F. of L. Council Meets
TOHN l.. LEWIS, head of the Unit
- ed Mine Workers, and his II as
sociates on the Committee for In
dustrial Organization, made good
their promise not to be present
when the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor met
to try them on charges of "insur-
rection." The council members
were plainly angered by this def
ance and it was predicted they
would proceed to find the defend
ants guilty Sin absentia" and to
suspend the unions in the Lewis
group. This would be the greatest
split in the ranks of American or
ganized labor since the federation
was formed fifty years ago. It
would mean the loss of about one
third of the federation's member
ship.
Previous to the meeting of the
council President William Green in
an imprisoned speech accused
Lewis and his followers of substi-
tuting ''jungle law" for democracy
in their efforts to organize the steel
industry. He said he was prepared
to make any. personal sacrifice,
even to resigning his Office, to
bring about peace and "bind up
the wounds" .r4

of the foreign groups gave the Hit
Ter salute as they passed by the
chancellor. Others did not. Among
the latter were the Americans, who
placed their straw hats on their left
breasts and marched by with eyes
right. Nor was the American flag
dipped before the fuehrer, the ex-
PLANTATION being that this was done
only before the President. The
American contingent was greeted
by an outburst of whistling which
the knowing declared meant "the
raspberry" But on the whole the
affair was decidedly successful.
In the first days contests the
United States started things with a
rush. Jesse Owens, Ohio States
colored star, broke the Olympic
and world records in winning his
neat in the 100-meter dash; and
Johnson, who is from California,
set a new Olympic record of 2.03
meters. In some other events the
Americans did well, and in yet
others they were eliminated.
In the 100 meter finals Owens won
and Metcalfe of Chicago was Sec

ems 100 meter event, broke the
world record both times.

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ended
his AIT mile cruise when his
yacht locked at Campobello island,
New Brunswick, where he has a
summer home.
Mr.. Roosevelt rem aimed at
Campobello only two days and then

Immediately after this meeting,
Mr.. Roosevelt took train for his
summer residence in Hyde Park,
N. Y, and there began mapping
the plans for his campaign for re-
election. Half a dozen leaders of
the Democratic party, including
National Chairman James A. Far

ident also obtained from Secretary
Wallace and Chester Davis q report
on drouth conditions and relief

forward to deliver his speech of ac-
ceptance he was greeted by roar
of applause that continued for many
minutes. His fellow citizens were
glad to express their qualification
for the honor done him, and the
thousands from outside Chicago
were no less warm in their appre-
citation of the candidate. In the
streets surrounding the stadium
was another vast throng of people
who, unable to get into the build
irg, listened to the proceedings as
broadcast by a loud-speaker sys-
tenn.
Unlike Governor Landon, Colonel
Knox devoted much of his address
to the alleged failures of the Roose-
welt administration which, he said,
had the most glorious opportunity
in the history of the nation but ig-
nored its responsibility, failed in
its job and defaulted in its obli-
cations.
"From the day that it took Of
fice," he declared, sit embarked
on series of hysterical expert
ments on the economic life OF
burdened people. At a time when
universal cooperation was a neces-
sity it initiated campaign OF
abuse and vilification of business
men. At time when the credit of
the country should have been
strengthened it inaugurated a poll
cy of credit adulteration and cur
rency experiment that demoralized
foreign trade and frightened do
nestle finance. 1t set up system
of RECOMMENDATION of industry that
reduced production and prevented
unemployment. BY coercion OF con-
gress it forced the passage of re-
form measures so recklessly drawn
that they hamstrung the revival of
enterprise and paralyzed the re-
newal of investment. It installed
RECOMMENDATION of agriculture that
destroyed food and reduced foreign
markets and increased the cost Of
living and multiplied the expense
of relief. Id
cat time when private industry
was struggling desperately for a
new start it set up governmental
enterprise to compete with private
business. At time when the bur-
den of taxation was already hard
to bear it embarked on a policy Of
squandering public funds and in
creasing the weight of taxes. At a
time when united effort and mutual
good will would have completed
recovery it promoted sectional hat
red and class strife. At time
when returning business confidence
was ending depression it began a
campaign to terrorize business and
subjugate the banks. At a time
when confidence in the character Of
government was vital it estab-
lished a spells system.
'No one can define the New Deal
or even describe it. But we know
what it means. It means federal
control over local business, over
local bank credit, over local wages,
over local conditions Of work. It
leads to federal RECOMMENDATION of
the labor, the business, and the
home of every American citizen.
It leads to price-fixing and produc-
ton control by federal authority. It
leads inevitably to the extinction
of the small business man, to the
end of free enterprise in America"

Government Crop Report
Shows Drouth Damage

THE WEEKLY crop report and
l. weather summary of the De-
partment of Agriculture revealed
that the drouth and high tempera-
ture were playing havoc with the
corn crop in most Of the leading
producing states. In some sections
there will not even be fodder and
over much larger area no grain
will be obtained this year. There
were good rains, however, in parts
of the central and eastern areas
and improvement was noted there
in both corn and pasturage.
The present drouth in Iowa, the
department said, has caused great
er damage to corn than that of
1884. The summary reported al
most complete destruction of the
crop in two southern and two west
