Roosevelt and others is that the expert
ence after 1929 showed that wage cut
ting did not solve the depression riddle,
because price cutting did not follow
automatically and evenly.
So now the theory is that the Govern
ment should put bottom under wages
below which an employer cannot go IN
playing the competitive game. That
theory has been at work in w. P. A. and
P, w. A., with the Government using
its spending power to keep surplus labor
off the market Now 1t is to be applied
directly in those industries that in any
way affect interstate commerce.
Why the strong stir of opposition from
the South to application Of this theory
of Federal Government wage control?
Again figures offered by Mr.. Lubin
help to provide an answer. These fig
ures show that, last year, in the in
dustries covered by special study, the
average starting wage for Southern
workers was 33.5 cents an hour, while
that in the North was above As cents an
hour. This is q difference OF approx
imately Is per cent. Under N. R. A.
codes the difference was narrowed to
about half that amount
The South today is seeing a surge Of
industrial activity. That area has a
large farm population that no longer is
able to make a living from the land. 1t
presses into the towns and provides a
supply Of labor with little experience in
union organization. With John Lewis
at their heels in the North, employers
find the Southern picture attractive.
They are figuring that freight rates,
which penalize the South, and distance
from major markets are more than off,
set by the advantages OF the labor sit
uation.
Now the Government proposes to step
into that situation and make some new
rules Of the game.

sufficient in food, clothing and
shelter. I asked:
"Is the economic self-suffi-
cheney policy of Ireland in the
same pattern as the aggressive
natiOnalism of certain European
StateS?"
DeValera answered:
mo, there is nothing what
ever aggressive in our policy for
the protection of our industries.
This policy results from our de-
Sire-a legitimate One-tO find
employment for our own people
who would otherwise be without
a livelihood or be compelled to
emigrate in search of work.
"That policy is also necessary
for us as a provision in the case
of war or some other cataS-
trophe which might prevent our
getting goods from outside.
CALLS 1T WISE POLICY
"The policy of reasonable self.
SuffiCiency is in the present
state of the world a wise policy
for every country and need not

ration of international trade on
the right lines and the renewal
of that intercourse between peO-

''It seems to me to be the very
reverse Of what people have In
mind when they speak of aggreS-
sive natiOnaliSm."
The DeValera economic pro
gram aims at a balance between
agriculture and other industries
There were comparatively few
manufacturers in the Irish Free
State until five years ago, and the

DUBLIN. June IS 0N.S0.
Ireland is going through a blood.
less social revolution accompanied
by an economic war with Britain.
President DeValera believes the
Irish land annuities amounting to
about five million pounds a year,
paid to Britain by the previous
government, are neither legally
nor morally due.
He maintains that Britain's an
nual war debt installments to the
United States would be only AZ
per cent of her revenue, while the
Irish annuities collected by Britain
amounted to 10 per cent Of Ire
lands revenus.
1923 Agreement Cited
Britain claims it is entitled to
these annuitieS under an Anglo
Irish agreement made in 1928.
When "Dey" won the 1882 election
on a platform including the annui-
ties issue, he decided to withhold
payment. The two governments
could not agree on the personnel
of an arbitration court so that
economic warfare followed.
The British government placed
a tariff on Irish cattle and pro-
duce. Ireland countered by plac.
ing taxes on British coal and
manufactures. I asked DeValera:
Britain has based its refusal
to nav its debts to the United
States on the ground that the
burden Of payments would be
too much for her people to bear.
Is that your case for the refusal
to pay the land annuities to
Britain?"
NO DEBT, HE CLAIMS
He replied:
ut Is not our case. The fOun-
dation of our case is that there
is no debt due. But If we have
to consider the burdens which
payments will impose, / have
only to point out that on the
basis of revenue our burden
would be four times as heavy
as the British burden regard
ing payment of the American
war debit; on the basis of ex.
ternal trade our burden would
be over three times as heavy as
the British burden and on the
basis of exports it would be over
three times.
ION the basis Of national in
come it would be over four times,
and on the basis per head of the
population more than twice the
British burden. If that burden
was too great for the British
to bear without lowering the
general standard Of living OF
their people, how much more
severe is the burden which we
are asked to bear?"
DeValera maintains the annIl-
ties agreement on which the Brit
ish base their case has never been
submitted for formal ratification
to the Irish Free State parliament.
He further points out that the
Ulster government has collected
and retained its land annuitieS as
part Of its own revenues.
Aspect NatiOnaliStic
The conflict over the withhold
ing of the land annuities has given
the economic program Of DeValera
a nationalistic aspect. 1t has
caused the government to speed
up its political and social policies
in addition to its efforts to make
the country reasonably" self

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"My brother was asked, just a
few days before a wedding, to be
best man. He is not an intimate
friend of the grOOm-tO-be, but they
do belong to an organization
where they met. What would be
an appropriate gift for him to give
the bride and groom?
"AbOut two months ago went
through an operation. When 1 was
able to go back to work, one Of
the girls in my office volunteered
to take me to work in her car.
Would it be correct for me to give
her a gift, and should / enclose a
note of thanks in the gift? If you
say a note is correct, will you
please tell me what to say?
A set of salad or dessert plates
would be an appropriate gift for
your brother to send. Or silver

perhaps a traveling.clock. Or a
desk-lamp, or a desk set. Or a
cigarette box and set Of ash trays
for the table. Or a set of linen for
luncheon or dinner.
BY all means make special ges-

has been so kind to you. A box OF
flowers, if you wish, or perhaps
something more lasting, such as
two or three monogrammed hand

wear them anywhere without any
one suspecting that you are really
wearing pants" If they are well
tailored, they can even appear on
the street. Which adds further
to their practically. And don't
forget that they are far more
becoming to the average figure.
Stacks have great fashion i'm
portance this summer, perhaps
because of Hollywood. Some
Paris designers continue to sponsor
them, too, Patou especially. His
house turns out grand ones of
linen or Jersey, and they are
topped by g soft worn-outside
shirt or a striped blazer.
Stacks for the Slim
Well-tailored Stacks are simply
grand on anyone who can wear
them, and all can who have hips
of average or small proportions.
Needless to say they should be
avoided by those of broad beam.
Stacks are the perfect costume
for beach, for sailing, for garden
ing, for lounging about at a resort,
and for all the other completely
relaxed and casual times during
the summer. You can top them
with anything, but we find the
most alluring we've seen are in
very grand bright-but-dull colors,
with Shirt to match in material,
but in a contrasting color. One
store has them in cruSh-resistant
linen, coarse like crash and very
good looking. Such colors as rasp-
berry with kings blue or orange
with natural linen-superb. They
even have clogs to match.
So you'll probable need one good
example of each if you're going
to have an active and enjoyable
summer. Culottes come in every

AS to your own wardrobe and
which you should buy, the answer
is probably all three. For they
