r. Fate made Henry A. Wallace Secretary of Agr-
culture and ordained that he should wrestle with the
most gigantic economic problem of our time He
broughtto this problem the vision of Hebrew prophet
and the practically of an Iowa farmer In the one
role he dreamed the ever normal granary,y under
which no crops would rot in the fields and no hungry
stomach go untitled and in the other he pushed for
ward his plans for saving the soil and the people
the soil The granary remains and expedient whose
soundness is open to question, but one questions
the idealsm behind it, In his talk at the Book Fair the
other night Wallace the preacher and son of preachers
Wallace the mystic revealed himself and spoke good
words
We do not live by bread alone but by ideas and
emotions, and these the Secretary said, found
in great books There not many really great books

luton, dozen more span the gap between 1889 and

touch the fringes of immortality and the devastating
deabooks endure perhaps not because they still
widely read but because of the lasting impact they
have made upon our civilization. We are not the
slaves of machines not the substance upon
which economic forces act In the beginning there
is the word-for good, for evil.
But with few and immortal exceptions the mental
and emotional food of age not that of succeeding

AS Secretary Wallace said The books which played
their part in producing modern capitalism, fascism
for the human soul" Their spell was potent; that of
Marx directly nversey lies heavy the bosom
of the world But even Marx must have his day and
pass He is final expression of humanitys deathess
dream Humanity does have a soul well as body.
To Secretary Wallace it seems that 'the stage is now
being set for of the most powerful books which
the world has yet SEEN" that humanity everywhere
is hungry both for a freedom and discipline
More than the pressure of hunger it is a craving
for faith for cause to which the individual may
willingly surrender that has created the move
ments of time. But the mass movements carry in
them the poison that will kill them: whether their
drive is back to the dweller forward to the
ant they deny the dignity of the individual human
soul If theory the nature of those great books

that they will reafirm the sanctty of life of free

UP TO CONGRESS TO ACT

Late reports from the south indicate that Ameri-
shipping to Alaska is definitely tied up that
it might take some time, perhaps weeks to untangle
it, we can hope that it will be settled much sooner
but the experiences of last year still fresh in the
linds Of Alaskans and naturally they look forward
to what transportation, if any, be afforded
n the emergency.
At thefpresent time Canadian steamers are the
only plying to the Territory and they, by pro-
vision of the Jones law which prohibits the carrying
a american produce in foreign bottoms from one
American port to another, be- under the present
setup of little value in bringing actual foodsuffs to
Alaska aside from cargo arising in Canada and that
would carry duty.
. If this tieup of American vessels to the Territory
Ito be of any duration as is now indicated it not
too early for Congress- which is in session, to
arrange for waving amending the Jones law for
the emergency that Alaskans can be served by
Canadian steamers. After all Alaska is Territory
and directly under the rule of Congress to which
must look for succor in time of need.
Certainly the experiences of year ago when
there was similar tieup, not conducive to again
l3hrkng time and praying while wonder where the
food is coming from and when

THE ULTIMATE JAPANESE GOAL

There's touch of similarity in these modern un-
declared Yesterday the Japanese high COM
mand sent its armen to Chinese Chang Kali
Shek headquarters with the request the General
issimo of the Marking forces surrender At the same
time the Tokyo command pushed on little further
into China territory
Not many months ago Mussolini was adopting a
similar practice in Ethiopia, his airmen shooting
ahead of the advancing army to warn the then En-
peror Halle Seasse that he might as well throw in
the sponge and call it defeat, Seassie didn't until
entirely routed and it is assumed that Chang Kali
Shek will not give up at this comparatively early stage
of the Chinese japanese struggle
But the propaganda, on which actual war is usu-
ally based, gets in its work Just the same And as it
worked successfully for Italy in Ethiopia Japan pro-
nably figures it will do the same thing in China BY
tossing leaflets from arpanes urging surrender the
unoerlyng ambition appears to be in the minds of
1hose under attack that they might well give UP
before they are wiped out by bullets OF course it

will pay little attention the Japanese request but

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Febru-
ary 13.-An apparent shortage" from
the local branch of the County Trust
Co. of Maryland was set at $4,000 or
$4,000 by State Senator Lansdale
G. Sasscer, president of the bank, to-
day while police and Federal agents
followed lead that the banks missing
cashier was in Chicago
S. w. Mitzel, senior bank examiner
for the State. said today that the
missing amount is in negotiable Sc
curities and mortgages, but he pointed
out that the papers may be found in
a safe deposit box in the bank before
the audit Is completed. The check
probably will be finished by Monday.
The clue on the location of William
E. Seipp, AZ, employe Of the institution
for IS years, who disappeared Monday
afternoon, was obtained from a letter
written to his wife, Mrs. Margaret
Seipp, according to State Attorney
Alan Bowie. The missive was post
marked in the Illinois city, he said.
Mrs. Seipp, repeatedly in nervous COL
lapse. is staying with relatives in
Baltimore.
Sasscer pointed out that the bank
carries a blanket $50 900 surety bond
and also said a continued check may
reveal the missing papers. He de-
clared:
"All can say Is that an apparent
shortage Of $4,000 or $1,000 is indi-
Gated at this time We won't know
the exact status of funds and securi-
ties until the audit is completed"
Father Of Three.
Mitzel said he talked to Seipp at
about 2 pm. on the day of the
cashiers disappearance. The ex-
aminer had come to the bank for a
routine, periodic check of accounts.
After short conversation. Mitzel said,
Seipp put on his hat, said he would
return soon and left in his auto
mobile.
The cashier. father of three chill
dren. had been extremely worried
about recurrent sickness in his
family" Sasscer declared. A lookout
broadcast for him was sent by Wash
ington, Baltimore and State police IL
hours after he left the bank.
Neither bank officials nor county
police would reveal contents of the
letter from Chicago, but Bowie said
that agents of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, brought into the case
because the bank is a member of the
Federal Reserve System, were check
ing the clue.

Bus Traveller Reports Plot.
In Toronto, Attorney General Ar
thur Roebuck ordered an investigation
Of the story told by an unnamed bus
traveller that he heard two foreign
looking men plotting the kidnapping.
Provincial officers were assigned to
check all bus lines, but met with no
success in their search.
Premier Mitchell Hepburn declared
"the police are fully aware of the Sit
uation."
The bus traveller, police said, gave
his information to the authorities
through the wife of Police Constable
James Suggett Of Etobiacoke Town
ship.
He telephoned the scant details he
said he had overheard on a Buffalo,
Toronto bus; but did not disclose his
name. He has not yet been located.
The man was quoted by police as
saying he dropped off to sleep during
the journey and when he awakened
he heard the men link the words
"Dionne" and Snatch"
Then, he related, he heard one Of
the two say:
We'll knock them off,"
Everything has been arranged" the
traveller declared the other replied.
Grandfather First Guard.
Guards have surrounded the quin-
tuplets since a few days after their
birth on May %, 1884. First, 1t was
their grandfather, Oliver Dionne, who
sat through the night in front of their
first home with a shotgun across his
knees.
Then uniformed constables were
hired. Former members of the
Provincial police, they protect the
sisters every day and night in the
year and are paid from the quin-
tuplets' estate, which has been esti-
mated at several hundred thousand
dollars.
One Of the first extra precautions
was taken on August IA, 1894, when
the babies were only 21s months old.
searchlights were ordered installed
because of fears growing out of the
kidnapping Of John Labatt, London
brewer.
In March, 1885, special guards in
heavy numbers were placed around
the nursery when a kidnap plot was
reported.
At that time, it was said, the plan
was to spirit one or more Of them
away in an airplane.
