intended but utterly unavoidable,

We have witnessed bureau
cratic agencies vying one with
the other in efforts to excel in
experimentation. FuZzy-think-
ing and unOrderly procedure
have characterized the manner
in which all Of the goals have
been approached. There has
been confusion, reversal Of poll
cieS, haphazard administration,
pickering and repeated delay.
There is much discussion
whether our social and economic
system should go before recovery,
or whether recovery should pre-
cede reform. Hy answer is that
the greatest reform that we could
have is recovery.
WE ARE GOING TO BE MANY
YEARS UNSCRAMBLING THE
EGGS COOKED UP BY THE
KITCHEN CABINET OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
One of the greatest failings of
these cooks was that they were
unable to tell the bad eggs from
the God. The result has been
indigestion for all of us.
It is necessary for all of us who
are concerned with agriculture S
welfare-and every American
ought to be-to work together in
the development of a program that
will be both sound and legal. And
I have the faith that We shall de
velop such measures and the
courage to put them into effect.
The problem Of agriculture Ger,
tainly must be approached on a
partisan basis. No one can justify
any attempt to make political CAPT
tai out of the national anxiety for
effective solution of the agricul,
tural problem.

It has been said that the de

Relief appropriations have

Brought Constitution

It is fitting that a celebration Of
the admission of Kansas to the
Union should evoke thoughts about
constitutions. Our forefathers
had a passion for self-government
as a corrollary to the individual
right Of self-determination.
That is not a Kansas ideal alone,
but an American ideal. Through
this yearning for orderly national
existence. security and individual
liberty has come the written cove
nant we term the Constitution of
the United States. It is the mill
tant manifestation of great spirit
ual force. These ancient rights
only remain safe today as the Con-
Stitution stays written in our
hearts. The people have been
bound to their Government by the
sacred tie of voluntary devotion.
But today there are powerful
forces trying to convince our
people that the Constitution is
mot their charter of human lib
critics. Should these forces pre-
vail the American government
then becomes q source of OPP
preston such as now afflictS
various other peoples throughout
the world.

Is it any wonder that the i'm

There are supplemental factors

last but not least, lower taxes

cash crops have been unable to
do anything about it.
Low prices have been caused
by the practical loss Of the farm
markets, both domestic and for

far more important for our farm

But even in the case Of the
major cash crops, on which a
surplus has been produced, our
domestic farm prices have largely
been fixed by the prices bid by
our foreign purchasers. In other
words, the surplus has set the

A policy that is not limited tc

would fit in with the demand OF

This, fellow citizens, is the Con-

Let me make this emphatic,
the Constitution of the United

grim proof of the financial vOr-

drawn. Its prediction Of a deficit
of "onIy a billion" is delusive.

Thirty-two rough and ready lads tumbled down the gangplank of the Cordova at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the farthest north point in the American Boy Maga- zine Alaska Tour.
 The boys, coming from almost every state in the Union, are ac- companied by Kenneth Gilbert, Se- attle writer; Dr. E. I. Sorenson, sur geon at Coulee Dam; Ed Hillyer, Editor of the University of Wash ington Daily; E. c. Wilson. of the University of Minnesota journalism department, and Major Allan Swim ton. writer of London, England.
 Charles Rinek, Is year old from Pittsburgh, reported that the trip had been beyond anything he had ever dreamed. He stated that the chief pastimes of the cruise had been learning nautical terms, fish ing from the boat while in port, and taking long walks through the spruce forest whenever occasion for Jnat sort of occupation presented itself.
 Kenneth Gilbert, leader of the tour, which is sponsored by boys magazine, expressed appreciation for the friendliness shown the boys by the Alaskans in the ports where they have stopped This is MT. Gilbert s first trip to Juneau, and he is en- toying the northern vacation a much as his young charges.
 The Cordova pulled out at 830 o'clock last night enroute to Wran- gell, whence she will return to Seattle via the canneries on the route.
