GROWERS IN MD.
AIM AT TOBACCO
AUCTION MARTS
Upper Marlboro Farley
to View Plans Tonight

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, Nov.
18.-An auction market here,
where Southern Maryland tobacco
growers may sell their crops, will
be considered tonight as growers
of this section meet in the court
house to discuss the feasibility Of
two loose leafe auction markets.
Dissatisfied with the prices OF.
fered them for their tobacco by
the Baltimore market, the grow
ers met some time ago with the
farm bureau of P rince Georges
county and endorsed plan to eS'
tablish such a market at Hughes
vile, in Charles county.
FINANCING SEEN EASY
Encouraged by the support and
enthusiasm given them by large
tobacco manufacturers, the grow.
ers believe two such markets will
provide a much greater convent
ence for the five Southern Mary
land counties in which the States
principal tobacco crop is raised
each year.
w. r. C. Connick, president Of
the Prince Georges county Farm
Bureau, said today the farmers
around Upper Marlboro are en-
thusiastic about the plan and
that no difficulty in financing o
local market Is expected.
OPENING DELAYED
Original plans to have the
markets opened in December are
expected to be changed, with the
opening date to be set for April.
Mr.. Connick explained that
tobacco grown this year could
not be properly cured by De-
cember and that manufacturers
were unwilling to buy tobacco
until it was thoroughly dried, uI1-
less the growers were willing to
accept a discount in the prices
paid them.
Under the old system of selling
their crops, Mr.. Connick said,
tobacco was packed in hogsheadS,
taken to Baltimore and sold. on
the basis of samples drawn from
the huge barrels. The auction
market plan permits the tanners
to carry their tobacco to market
in loose leaf form. All other lead
ing tobacco growing sections Of
the country, Connick concluded,
have had the auction system for
sometime.

to why and others have pre-
ferred to hold on to our savings
rather than risk them in new
ventures, l would say:
The New Deal Administration
has proved that it has no con-
ception of the Importance of Civ
ing industry adequate opportunity
to earn reasonable profits and
provide employment.
It has thoughtlessly, short
Sightedly sought to wreck private
enterprise by establishing subsi-
died governmental, political, un-
fair competition-taxpayers pay
ing the bill.
The New Deal-more Specifi-
cally, President Roosevelt-has
consistently exhibited eagerness to
obtain a tighter and tighter
strangehold upon private center.
lTise, upon private employment
giving.
Employers cannot view lightly
the attempt of President Roose-
welt to bring the United States
Supreme Court under his thumb,
to deprive it of it's independence,
to make sure that it would abide
by his commands, rather than by
the Constitution.
I and others are asked If we
have hesitated to invest in new
securities because of, among other
things, existing and possible new
taxes on industry.
NOT WORTH RISK
Right. Mounting Federal taxes,
Federal deficits, Federal debts
most assuredly are not conducive
to risking ones savings in new
enterprises.
Profound comfort, however. can
be derived, in my judgment, from
the manifest uprising of thought
full citizens against the New Deals
hostile attitude towards business,
it's beratine of businessmen. its
subsidizine of governmental COM
petition agains private enterprise.
In short, I am convinced that
the people are veering towards
another New Deal, this time, a
deal to afford business and in
dustry reasonable freedom and
opportunity to bring about better
times and to expand self-support-
ing employment.
The indications are that the
people feel they have politics
enough, not enough prosperity.

the same path France has gone,
and that we will, in due course,
also reach the crossroads?
France has behind her years OF
New Deal experimentation. She
has had her social planning" re-
rime, with all the trimmings, from
public works and heavy pensions
to the 40-hour week.
POWERFUL FORCE
Socialist and Communist parties
are a powerful political force in
France.
This all came to a head in the
popular Front" of M. Blum, and
that Popular Front was an organ
ization of all the radical elements
in French politics which followed
the lead of Mr.. Roosevelt's New
Deal.
The French New Deal led to
great excesses by labor organiza-
tions, which staged sit-doWn
strikes and interfered with mil
itary preparations.
HITLER'S COUPS
In short, the French New Deal
demoralized the people and threw
the nation into bankruptcy.
In my opinion, this weakened
and demoralized state OF France
had as much to do with Hitler S
coups in Eastern Europe as any
other single factor.
TRY COMEBACK
But recently, the French have
been making an effort to pull
themselves out. How could this
fail to happen when war came so
close! And the recourse was
Daladier. He was given power to
rule by decree, and has just issued
DEGREES designed to restore France
to a better economic condition.
Accordingly, one of the first
moves is to modify the 4O-hour
week maximum, and the require
ment Of certain hign rates Of pay
for overtime work. If France is
to keep up with Germany in power,
and is to retain her foreign trade,
she must come down to earth.

STOCKS DRIFT
L 0 " { R AFTER
MILD RECOVERY
SteeIs, Aviations Lead
Early Advance
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. 18 Q.N.SO
The Stock market was sluggish
and irregular today, with main
issues ruling small fractions to
either side of previous closing
levels.
MINUS SIGNS RUE
Initial transactions brought a
prepooderance of minus signs, but
steels and aviations led a mild
recovery midway through the
first hour. This met with scat
tered selling late in the forenoon,
and the market again drifted ir-
regularly lower.
Movements in steelS we're some
what typical of the general fluc-
tuations. U. S. Steel opened Ia
lower, worked back to last nights
closing, then dropped back again
for a sizable fractional loss. Beth
lehem cut an early point decline
in half, but later slipped to the
days low.
LOSE MOST OF GAINS
Price movements through most
representative groups were inSig,
nificant. These included motors,
rubbers, utilities, mail orders and
coppers. Leaders here followed a
similar pattern, opening generally
lower, rallying for time and then
receding to within striking dis
tance of initial levels.
AviationS we're strong. along
with rails, but much of their gains
were lost by the noon hour.

The result was that in l93O Oregon voters wrote his name in on so many ballots that the General, a wet Democrat in a dry Republican state was elected to Congress In 1884 they followed it up by eectng him Governor indicating that his interim in Congress was lively and interesting to his fellow Oregonians.
 But in the Governors chair when Old Iron Pants" got down to really making history. Labor troubles were giving Oregon internal pains. The Gov ernor went into action. He brought down his wrath on the CTO and the AFL, and in order to be entirely independent he tossed the National Labor Relations Board in for good measure and demanded repeal of the Wagner Act He called out the National Guard to open up some of Oregon's mills. He acted with vgor and determination regardless of consequences. The consequence of course the recent election reveals was defeat his campaign for renomination. He didn't play very good politics, but no one ever say his policies dull This fine old rugged individualist kept the fat in the fire and things buzzing down Oregon way.
 It is with tings of regret that lovers of sturdy character will him pass from the political picture. His often mpoite and marrowy speech had zest to it. With due regard to Nominee Hess, who has yet to prove his political wares bow is due "Old Iron Pants" Whether his policies wise otherwise, 1t is pleasure to in public office who knows what he thinks ought to be done and does it.

JUNEAU MOVES FORWARD

This community as whole is very much pleased that Juneau is to have additional building improve ments Principally, at the present time, among these improvements will be hotel to be known as the Baranof at Second and Franklin, enlargement of the present well known Gastineau and construction ot the Gross Twentieth Century Theatre Both hotels Will fill very definite need in the city and provide tacl- ties for travellers which have been lacking in the past and the theatre will provide another modern amuse- ment center.
 For years Juneau has had need for more hotel accommodations As a matter of fact we have been hard pressed for long time to find suitable accom- modations for the various groups in the community which have desired to hold large meetings, aside from the fact of entertaining those from the Outside One of the reasons for failing to have more sopover tour ists here has been lack of sufficient hotel room Now fortunately for Juneau that barrier is to be removed Juneau is growing up and progressing it should as the largest city of the Territory.
 There was some little question this week whether the Chamber of Commerce would add its moral support to the Baranof project After meeting, the Chamber declared itself in favor of such civic improvement in the community Naturally enough, it would take such action if it lives up what it purports to be progressive organization representative of the busi ness of Juneau
 AS matter of fact the Chamber shouldn't have to be asked to give it's approval to worthwhile enter prise in the community It should be out in front enc6hlaging it. The function of Chambers of Com nerce throughout the nation is to build up and exploit to the world the cities which they represent One of the finest examples we know of is the Los Angeles Chamber which will be here on visit next week From a burned hamlet in southern California the Los Angeles chamber has built one of the most colorfu cities in America, and of the largest and it's still going ahead
 The Iuneau Chamber hasn't completed it's duty by giving its approval to the Baranof hotel pro- iect It should be out back of every project which is going to build up and improve Juneau
 There are only two ways to go in this world forward in an ever-changing world to better things or backward to decay and oblivion.

Japanese Fishing
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)


 It evident that the Japanese promise to see that its nationals cease salmon fishing in Bristol Bay has not settled the Alaska fisheries problem.
 The threat of cod fishermen in Boring Sea to take international law into their own hands can hardly be condoned.
 But the complaint of the Americans that no coast guard vessels are in sight should reinforce the re- quest already presented the state department by a committee representing fishermen and the fisheries industry, for a adequate patrol
 As matters stand it is probable that the chief value of better patrol would be it's moral effect and the assembling of official data upon present Japanese operations So long the Japanese vessels operate outside the hree-mile limit and international law re- mains is there is little else that national law enforcement agencies can do
 And that situation reinforces the point that the tlree-me limit is hopelessly outworn legal fiction
 is based entirely upon the fact that three miles was the range limit of cannon century or more ago IL has no relation either to the present range of ar tlery to the much more pertinent geographical and economic factors.
 To recaptulate arguments previously presented The United States has a special claim upon salmon because they originate in inland waters of Alaska and returning to their spawning grounds when caught It has a special claim to the so-called bottom fish because they have their habitat the shadows of the continental shelf underwater continuation Of the Alaska coastlne which extends far beyond the three mile limit In addition, both salmon and halibut are protected by this country to prevent depletion What ever fishing operations by aliens interfere with our predominant rights have no ethical defense.
 When law is not in accordance with facts and does provide justice there is only one thing to be done. That is to amend the law
 Our state department should increase it's pressure upon the Japanese government to recognize the m- portance of the unsettled factors of the fisheries controversy.
 Meanwhile an adequate coast guard must be maintained in Alaskan waters to whether present too can fishermen against nfractions of international law as it now stands and to obtain the information that will lead to equitable and permanent settle ment of the entire Alaska fisheries problem.
