the breach between Congress and the
White House would inevitably have

ECONOMIC HICHLICHTS
Happenings That Aftset the Dinner
Pals, Dividend Checks and Tax Bills
of Every individual; National and
international Problems inseparabie
from Local Welfare

Every President, according e
American political tradition. is giver
a congressional honeymoon"-thal
is, for a certain period of time, lons
or short as the case may be, his sug-
gestions and requests OF Congress
are received with almost unanimous
appeal and are enacted into law. He
| is faced by no major defections from
his party ranks, and his floor leaders
need give but little effort to keep
ing "the boys in line"
In our recent history, the shortest
honeymoon was that of President
Hoover, who had to deal with a hos
tile Congress within two years after
his election-a circumstance that
had much to do with his crushing
defeat when he ran for reelection.
Longest honeymoon has been that
of President Roosevelt. For four
years, every major policy he advo-
Gated was approved with minimum
OF debate. He received no set-backs
from Congress. In such matters as
disbursements of government money,
he was given almost free hand. He
had bills written by his advisors,
sent them to Congress and saw them
made into law within a few days.
Never was the authority of the Ex-
ecutive so broadened.
To say that this honeymoon is now
over is simply to state an obvious
fact, apparent to both the friends
and opponents of the New Deal.
Cause of the split was the Court Bill.
Ultimate effects of the split are to-
day the subject for guessing, fore
casting and editorializing by every
one in the country who takes an in
terest in politics.
The death of Senator Robinson
who, through his great personal pop
ularity, ability and mastery of the
parliamentary technique,
was able to keep the Senate running
like a well-oiled Administration ma
chine for four years-was a serious
blow to the President. But the seeds
of discomfort have been brewing for
a long time. Even had Mr.. Robin

and hold over Congress is waning.
Fourth, as recent surveys, such as
that made by Fortune, indicate, the

even though Mr.. Roosevelt. as per-
sonality. still commands the ad-
miration of millions of voters,.
This is all true. whether Congress

attitude of the President, apparently,

not see the other side. 1t was the
Pacific! His friends laughed good
naturedly, for they knew what in his
ignorance was to him the Pacific
was really but a large lake.
But, notes DR.. Dewey, from that
mans own point of view he had ex-
perienced the thrill of the discovery
he claimed. To his experiences,
heretofore, he had added new one
which, though ludicrously misinter-
preted because of faulty information,
aroused the identical emotions that
would have stirred in him had he ac-
tually preceded Balboa to the Pacific.
The anecdote is illustrative of The
psychology of creativeness, of which
exploring is a well-recognized form:
it consists of experiencing a combi-
nation of impressions one or more
elements of which are new.

Defying Democratic
Principles

The annual report of the Tennes-
see Electric Power Company, which
is one of the companies operating in
the region of the IVA, reveals clear
ly the merciless attitude of entrench-
ed officialism toward the private
citizen. The Tennessee Electric
Company is owned by thousands OF
stockholders throughout the nation.
Most of them are small stockholders.
Their meager investments may rep
resent the savings of lifetime, and
in many cases are their only income
during old age. They have invested
their savings in the utility indus
try because ii is one of the basic in
dustries of the nation.
Combined with agriculture and
transportation the electric industry
forms the backbone of our economic
life. Its securities are among those
which, because of their fundamental
characteristics, serve as a protective
bulwark against depressions, not
only for individuals, but for bank
ing, insurance and all institutions
vital to a thriving America.
In order to protect its properties
and stockholders against govern
ment competition, the Tennessee
Electric Power Company has been
forced TO operate under contract
with the iva. In spite of this con-
tract, which recently expired, the
iva fomented agitation for munich
pal ownership elections in the COM
pany's territory through speakers,
news stories and propaganda" Eff
forts of the private company to de-
fend its stockholders against this
program of destruction, were con-
demned by the politicians as anti
public propaganda-as If there were
something criminal in fighting So
cialism in a free country.
Far-sighted citizens must demand
a change in the governments atti-
tude toward private enterprise. No |
highly-taxed private industry can
permanently survive tax-exempt, |
tax-subsidized government competi-
tion-priyate savings will be wiped
out.
Such unequal competition is ba-
sically contrary to the democratic
principles of our form of govern
ment. If it is found possible to defy
these principles in one instance, our
becomes farce, because
no industry representing individual
toll and savings will be safe from
invasion. Socialism or
communism will be in the saddle
and the individual viii become a
cipher.

RADIANT LIVING
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD
BY Rev. G. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary NJ. =. Church
sudlersyilie, Md.

The other side of the road often
appears to be better than the side
on which you are driving.
| | have often observed this as I
have been picking my way between
the holes and bumps. And / would
often pull over to the other side of
the road, but before long l would be
back again.
| / always found the other side of
the road just as rough, If not more
so.
The other fellows job seems bet
ter than ours. His hours are shorter,
the pay larger, his opportunities
greater. If we were only over on
his side of the road, how we could
speed along-towards success!
IF l were only with Blank & Co.
1 am sure l would find more congen-
iality, more opportunity, more rec
ognition,"
But don't forget that a job with
Blank & Co., has its problems;
something's that may have escaped
your attention. A short time with
Blank & Co. will open your eyes to
the fact that your present difficult
ties AS you will then look back upon
them, will not appear to be so hard
after all. A little keener application
upon your present problems will
master them.
Why waste energy in looking at
the smooth places ON the other side
of the road? Why not rather show
your mastery hand at driving a
bumpy road. Show others who ride
with you through life what smooth
ride you can give them over a rough
road.
Stick to your own side of the road.
Take the bumps as they come.
Straight ahead is the shortest course
to the smooth going that lies ahead!

SOY BEAN EXHIBIT
TRAVELS ON P. r. r.
[Continnea from First Psgel

lOOUSHHeS tFOW FsfSF EeSeI
Cobb has arranged for an exhibit cal
in which is presented for the frs
time a complete exhibit of the soy
bean industry to be ON exhibition al
Wilmington from to 8 p. m, or
Wednesday, August 18.
This exhibition car is sponsored by
the American Soybean Association
and was planned in cooperation with
State Agricultural Colleges, the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture, the National Soybean Process
ors' Association and manufacturers
OF soybean products. 1t will be OPP
Grated over the lines of the Penn
sylvania Railroad during the months
OF August and September.
At the stops in Delaware represen-
tatives OF the University of Delaware
Extension Service and Experiment
Station will be on the car to ans
wer local questions relative to the
production and utilization of soy
beans.
The car itself is an air-conditioned
passenger coach fitted for exhibition
purposes. Soybeatl oil was used In
the core sand in the foundry of the
Pennsylvania Altoona Shops. The
roof of the car is painted with brown
soybean paint, the sides with stand
ard red soybean paint and finished
with soybean varnish, the trucks
with black soybean paint, thus the
slogan From roof to rails with soy
beans"
One turns a door knob made from
soybeans and upon entering the in
terror of the coach one is attracted
by an arch supported by big columns
made with soybeans. The car has
been finished throughout with ply
wood put together with soybean glue
and the visitor later finds 1t requires
$4,000 acres annually to supply the
glue for the country's plywood In
dustry.
These are Just a few of the many
features of the exhibit according to
Mr.. Cobb, who says that every detail
of production, research and process
ing of this increasingly important
crop is featured.
The present interest in the prodpc-
tion of soybeans in Delaware started
in 1920 with the introduction of seed
and cultural methods advocated by
the Extension Service of the Uni
yersity of Delaware. Delaware far
mers now plant annually about 3O,-
900 acres of soybeans for grain ana
for hay and green manure crops.
Until recently most of the grain was
sold for seed purposes, but there is
a growing interest in production for
into meal and oil and
many other by-products, due to the
location of several large processing
mills along the eastern seaboard.
At the University of Delaware
Experimental Station
have been continuously
conducted for many years to deter
mine suitable varieties, and proper
cultural methods adapted to Della
ware conditions.
Farmers interested in soybean
will find much to inter-
est them, and can well afford to take |
time to visit this soybean exhibit |
car" said Mr.. Cobb, land it is also |
expected that Delaware manufaetur-
ars will be interested in studying
uses of soybean by-products which
may be adapted to their manufactur-
ing requirements"
Local arrangements for the morn
ing demonstration meeting at Sea-
ford on August Is will be made by
c. R. Snyder, Sussex County Agent
and plans for the Wilmington meet
ing at night will be made by G. NJ.

TRADE ADVANCES
ON BROAD FRONT
Expanded Activity in Flood
Areas and Better Labor
Situation Help.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 12.-All
branches of trade frightened this week
in the wake of expanded activity In
flood areas and better news from the
labor fronts, Dun g. Bradstreet said
today In the weekly review.
Retail distribution reflected also
more seasonable weather conditions in
various regions; flood-relief expendi-
lures brought hurry-up orders for re-
placement goods. and more attention
was paid to Spring and Easter de-
mands in wholesale circles. The dura-
BILE goods division advanced operating
rates in most cases, the agency said.
with some merchants reporting
the best week for the period since
1929" the review said. "and others
running slightly ahead of that mark.
the vigorous rebound of consumer
buying superseded the progress In
other trade branches.
Favorable weather, which permit
ted the fulfillment of long-postponed
needs, resulted in sales broadening
from to 10 per cent from the total
reported for the week preceding by
the majority of principal cities. This
lifted the estimated volume Of retail
distribution for the country as a whole
from IL to 18 per cent over the same
1886 week"
The agency estimated gains over a
year ago in the principal geographic
areas were: New England, 18 to %
per cent; East. 16 to Is; Middle West,
IS to 90: Northwest, Is to 18; South,
is to 20; Southwest, to IA. and Pa
cific Coast, 9 to 16. Settlement of the
maritime strike in the last-named re-
gion was a factor in the gain, the re-
view noted.
A long list Of seasonable merchan-
disc was in improved demand in all
areas, the review said. but furniture
and housewares continued in the
spotlight, and there was pronounced
increase in the movement Of mems
and womens apparel. In the latter
category the review noted dress fab
RIGS in gay prints, gloves, handbags
and jewelry continued to the fore.
ably seconded by perfumes and VAL
entine novelties.
