has the answer, and experts differ
greatly in their theories. Certain
things are obvious, however
such as the problem of tariffs,
and the eternal question of how
American workers are to be pro-

competition. The State Depart
ment, under Secretary Hull, has
sought to increase foreign bust

most important, and some progress
has been made. But it's still a
tough situation.
The United States News points
out something that is not general

as exports create jobs in this
country. Many imported materials
must be processed or serviced. All
of them must be transported and
distributed. This requires labor,
and a lot of it.
Foreign trade affects the eco

DISMISS CASE
OF THOMPSON
EXPECTED THAT LIKE ORDER
WILL BE ISSUED IN
HARRIS CASE

Judge Jefferson ;. Browne to-
day issued an order dismissing
the case against Sam Thompson
who was sentenced Tuesday to
pay a fine of $50 OF an aiterna-
tive sentence OF Is days.
Mr.. Thompson presented a pc
tition to the judge showing that
for years ne had been a law-abid-
ing citizen and had no intention
of violating the law, but did not
know at the time he refused the
plant board permission to spray
his trees that sapodiila trees,
which he had refused to allow the
plant board to spray, was a black
fly host.
Since learning his mistake and
that the sapodilla tree is classed
among the other hosts, Mr..
Thompson showed in his petition
that he had granted permission
for spraying his trees.
A similar petition has been
drawn and presented in the case
of Sam Hart, and it is under
stood that like order will be
also issued in his case.

ECONOMIC HICHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
tiOnal and International Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

Lost foreign trade O. the
United States would have paid
the Federal relief BILL" says a
headline in the United States
News. That's a startling state
ment-but figures prove it.
In 1884, value Of exports of
United States products to for
eign countries was more than 49,
100000 under the record
1929 level-and the Federal
government spent over $4,000
100000 on relief. In 1885, the re-
lief bill was $3,188, 900, 00O-and
the loss in foreign trade from the
1929 figure was $3,252,000,00O.
Estimates hold that this year our
foreign trade loss as compared
with the greatest OF the boom
years will be about $4,000 00,-
OOO-almost precisely what the
U. S. Treasury is going to pay out
in relief.
Thus. for the three-year period,
our lost foreign trade totals ap-
proximately $40 100000, 0O0-and
and relief cost the taxpayers of
the country around $8,5O0,000,-
900 in the same period. Had we
been able to keep foreign trade
on the 1929 level during depres-
sion, we could have paid the en-
tire cost of Federal relief out Of
the receipts, and had the neat
sum Of a billion-and-a-half left
over for other purposes.
Of course, nothing could have
enabled US to maintain our trade
at that level-the worldwide de-
preston, coupled with general
uncertainty in Europe, currency
wars and fluctuations and other
monetary disturbances, tariffs
and embargoes, were responsible
for most of the loss. The domestic
AAA program is believed by many
to have been a factor in reducing
agricultural exports though friends
of the AAA say that we couldn't
have found markets for our SUR
plus even if crop reductions had
never been put into effect. II
respective of that, the cold Stats
tics show conclusively that the
welfare of a number of big in
dustries, and a vast amount of
employment, hinges on foreign
trade.
In the latest years for which
complete figures are available,
Department of Commerce tabula-
tions show that this country has
sent abroad half of the cotton
crop, two-thirds of all refined
copper, one-third of farm machin-
cry and lubricating oils, per
cent of aircraft, and a little less
than 20 per cent of radios. These
items are simply samples.
If, tomorrow, all our existing
foreign markets were suddenly
closed to us, industry and agricul-
ture would be plunged into havoc.
Assistant Secretary of State
Sayre has published a booklet on
just what foreign trade means to
the farmer and worker-and the

CORONER'S JURY
HEARS CASE OF
DROWNED GIRL
STATED THAT SHE INSISTED
ON GOING FISHING WITH
TWO BOYS; OTHER TESTI-
MONY GIVEN

Investigation into the death of
Lillian Johnson. IA year old col
ored gil who was drowned yester-
day afternoon, was started this
morning by the coroner's jury,
empaneled yesterday Immediately
after the death was reported.
Frank o. Roberts, justice of
the peace of the first district.
conducted the inquiry with Robert
Lee Curry, Fabio Olivieri, Joe
Singleton, Gregorio Rodriguez,
Alvin Sawyer and Vivian Pinder,
members OF the jury present.
First Testimony
John Gabriel, one Of the boys
who was in the boat with the
Johnson girl was the first to tes-
tify. And was followed by Emer-
son Pryor, his companion. They
both told essentially the same
story with a few minor discre-
pancies as to details.
They were preparing to go
fishing, when the Johnson girl
asked to be allowed to go, and
stepped into the boat. She was
told to get out as they had no
anchor and did not know how to
scull. She insisted, and was told
if she could swim it would be
alright. She said she could swim,
and they started off.
When they reached the dock at
the Fort Taylor reservation,
Gabriel said he got out on the
dock. Pryor was holding onto the
dock, his hand slipped and the
boat began to drift away. he
jumped into the water and was
followed by the girl.
Swims To Dock
Pryor swan to the dock. He
and Gabriel saw the girl going
down. Gabriel told Pryor to swim
to the boat and get an oar to help
the girl. Pryor went into the
water, swan to the boat and
brought it back to the dock. They
both saw the girl struggling in
the water and at first thought
she was swimming.
Gabriel saw the girl go down
and come up again. This time she
was foaming at the mouth. He
was frightened and called for
Marcus Hanna, another colored
boy, who reached the dock and
brought the girl to the surface,
and she was pulled into the boat.
Resuscitation methods were used
by some white man" whose name
was not learned.
In the meantime Pryor had gone
to nearby home and an ambu-
lance was called. This arrived, the
girl was placed in it and the drive
to the hospital started, but she
was pronounced dead upon ar
rival.
Juror Curry asked what was
the idea OF going fishing without
an anchor. The answer was that
they went fishing for little grunts
all the time, and tied their boat
to a pole in the water.
Other jurors asked questions
which apparently, were satisfac-
torily answered.

Borrows Fascism From
Mussolini, But Physical
Courage And Test Is
That OF His Own
By ALVIN v. STEINKOPF
(by Associated IsrcSAl

WY hSSDcidtcb IrcSSl
VIENNA, June 11.-Prince
Ernst Ruediger Won Starhemberg,
muscular 36-year-old storm CEN
ter of Austrian politics, gets a
kick out of living dangerously.
He borrowed his fascism from
Mussolini, but his physical cour-
age and zest for dangerous situa-
tions is his own. His spectacular
career in wars, rebellions, putsches
and politics gives proof of fear
lessness.
The Russians shot at him on
the eastern front. The Italians
shot at him on the Piave. The
Poles shot at him in Silesis.
He risked his neck with Adolf
Hitler in his beer hall putsch in
Munich.
Assassination Plots Fooled
In August, 1888, two nazis bent
on assassination were arrested az
they crept up on Starhenlberg.
By April, 1884, a hoard of Aus
trian socialists with thousands of !
guns had proclaimed him special !
enemy No. 1, and indicated how /
they felt about it by floating a !
coffin bearing Starhemberg's
name down the Danube river.
Two months later huge
bomb, ready to blast the build
ing from its foundations, was
found in a room above his offices
in Ballhaus platz. !
This succession of events in
dictated that enemies of the fascist
prince would 60 to almost any
length to eliminate him as a poll !
teal force.
Almost every day some sinister
incident brought new evidence
that many persons would have re-,
garded it an act of high patriotism
to stop Starhemberg with a bull |
let.
The opinion which he encoun- !
tered actually contributed to Start
hemberg's rise, for it prompted
him to take over and strengthen
Austria's largest private army,
the heimwehr. He used it to
smash the socialists, and to chase
the nazis to cover after the putsch
in which Chancellor Dollfuss was
assassinated.
Called Prince Big Mouth
While physical courage is per-
haps the outstanding Characters !
tic of the prince, his other quail !
ties make him a colorful public !
figure. He is a forceful orator
with a platform personality which
commands attention.
Rarely does he write out an
address in advance. He prepares
an outline, and then hammers
home his ideas with simple, direct
words. He has a flair for sensa-
. tional statements.
Early in his political career his
foes tried to dismiss Starhem-l
berg's speeches as bluff and bonn !
.bast. His holder opponents some
times called him prince Big
Mouth" But it soon became APP
parent that while Starhemberg
said a lot he always was prepared .
to do a lot.
A typical Starhemberg speech
was delivered in September, 1888.
Chancellor Dollfuss and other dig
nitaries had gathered at the statue
of Starhemberg's renowned anees-
tor. Count Ruediger Won Starhem-
berg, to celebrate the anniversary
of the counts defeat of the Turks
at the gates of Vienna. Prince
Starhemberg was expected to say
a few appropriate words. !
