Initiation Fear
Fccles' initiation bugaboo and
his fear of a runaway 3tock-mar-
ket are shared by the President
and by Morgenthau himeSlf.
They want along with him on
his first move to increase bank re-
sprves-Which can be done under
the Banking Act of l935-but on
" because they figured the react
ion in bonds would not be so dras-
tic.
As a result of the whole incid-
ent. the Administration is pur-
suing a policy of "watchful wait
ing" on monetary matters. There
are a lot of rumors on Wall Street
that Roosevelt will revaluate the
dollar, cut the price Of gold, and
bar the flood of yellow metal ar
irving in New York by almost
every steamer.
But inside word is that for the
time being he will do nothing.

Anything may be in interstate commerce now'

There was a time when interstate commerce was
nrettv exclusive. Only the railroads and steam
ship lines could get in.
pickle-packing business a news agency d
shoemaker or an artificial flower maker would be
blackballed before he could even get his appIlca-
ton in.
But times marches on and nothing that was SO
Yesterday is necessarily true today. Consult your
daily paper for more intimate details
Even a two-p piece suit with an extra pair OF pants
lor without is linked up with interstate commerce
today.
It's all due to those latest Supreme court decis-
ion. which would seem to indicate that the high
court has become so revitalized that it makes
Roosevelt look like an old-faShioned man.
The court is still handing down fve-to-four de-
cisions but it is using the forward
men-back formation.
There was an unContirmed rumor that Chef
Justice Hughes was about to recommend that Con-
gress pass bill to give the President few young
assistants.
The Wagner act decision put everything from
mems pants and trailerS to steel girderS and news
paper items into interstate commerce.
ANYTHING that flows into interstate commerce is
now subject to the powers exercised over inter-
state commerce. The Associated Press is now the
same as a railroad except that it needn't whistle
at crossings or be tapped with monkey wrenches
at terminals to see if it has hot box.
war dispatch. divorce item or the report Of
a murder trial is Just the same as carload Of
new potatoes a shipment of dried herring or a
load of door knobs.
In the trailer suit. the trailer business was so
new that most Of the justices had to be told what
it was. This put them ahead Of the owners, most
of whom are still trying 10 find out.
It seems traicrs are a part of interstate COM
merCe too. Just something in which vacations arc
delivered prepackcd and with a sign Use No
Hooks stamped plainly on the back of the driver
and his wife.
But it was the decision in the Friedman Harry
Marks Clothing company that surprised the pub
lie The people we're inclined to accept the old
fashioned idea that even if the work of pants
cutter in Pawtucket. Rhode Island, ultimately
turned up on man in Lincoln. Nebraska, the
pants cutter was still pants cutter. and not a
branch of interstate commerce.
1t seems that even in pair Of pants made in
Pawtuckct the buttons may come from Paw Paw
Greek. the crCaSes from Brooklyn and the button
holes from Wappiugovs Falls, throwing the entire
garment into thc same class as the Erie railroad
Who ever thought we'd see the day when a blue
suit with patch pockets would be bosom pal of
the $40 freight train. the birthday greeting card
and a ton of steel rails?

 Depend on Machines
 Sentiment about the re.canVaSs Of the 64 machines used in Water- bury'B October 6 election seems to Do that the election officials, more and more, as the years have passed, have come to depend on the mas chimes for the flnal count. This 1. iS observed, has tended to 6 cer. tain careleSBness during the last few minutes when the count il taken from the "infallible" machines when th0 heat Of the election con. tests reaches fever pitch, in tritC terminology.

 A Japanese army spokesman ad- mitted that the Japanese had lost contact with the main body of Chinese.
 The Japanese were preparing an advance in force from their lines on the north bank of Soochow Creek, and foreign military experts believed that this advance might come ct any hour. The tank which fired on the Ulster riflemen was feeling out the Chinese advanced units.
