LET'S HAVE FACTS
The present international
mysteries among the various ma
tions isn't going to help very
much, I'm afraid, in the attempt
to enact a conciliatory under
standing. Facts and figures on
armaments should be brought
out in the light so that the
people can have a look at them,
otherwise suspicion and fear will
be inevitable.

playmate by hiding behind a

Against Ticket-Fixing
It probably is too much to ex-
pect, but it certainly would help
remedy our traffic muddle Il
our officials stick to a resolution
I recently saw published in your
paper.
I mean the one where it was
said that from now on there
will be no fixing Of tickets for
those who have been caught vio-
lating some Of our traffic regu-
lationS.
Sure, it wouldn't do any harm
to fix up some Of those trifling
offenses such as double parking
for a couple of minutes on a
street where there is little like
lihood Of causing an accident.
But it's hard to draw the line
and the next thing you know all
kinds Of offenses are being over
looked.
I understand that the current
drive for traffic safety is get
ting some good results and that
the officials are treating them
all alike"

PICK-A-BACK PLANE is
PREPARING FOR RETTIRN

Port Washington, N. Y, July o.
-(AP)-The British pick-a-back plane
Mercury was groomed today for its
return flight to Ireland after open
ing a new and significant chapter of
transatlantic air travel.
Captain Donald Bennett brought the
Imperial Anyways experimental craft
down here late yesterday, convinced
he had demonstrated the feasibility
of launching heavily-laden planes in
mid-air. The Mercury brought a l.
00O-pound cargo, in addition to it's
pilot and Radio Operator Albert Cos
ter, to the anyways terminal a little
more than 25 hours after it's take-off
from the back of a mother plane off
the coast of Ireland.
"This system of launching" said
2S-year-old Captain Bennett, "has
great possibilities. I can conceive OF
a couple of mother ships launching
whole fleets of heavily-laden planes
in wartime"

to split Thomas and Fittman.
AS a first step he lent himself to a
know that he is particularly an in
policy of devaluing the dollar, a mild
1y inflationary step. 1t was taken and
suited Thomas, thus detaching him
from Pittman.
But devaluation did not turn out to
be as inflationary as Thomas, maybe,
had expected. 1t had some interna-
tional effect, but very little domesti-
cally. It was not pronounced enough,
and 1 suspect that the President did
not intend it to be. Consequently
Thomas and Pittman began to drift
back together, and it became neces-
sary to detach Pittman from Thomas.
Thereupon a program of treasury
purchases of silver was adopted
program which suited Pittman but
was no good to Thomas.
Silver-buying has not resulted in
any appreciate amount of initiation,
either. It was too homeopathic.
How Initiation Hits.
Net result:
The administration, thus far, has
stalled off initiation.
Y Good work." I'd say, "for the adj
ministration."
Why do 1 not like the idea of in
flation?
Well, initiation means higher living
costs. l have a fixed income. Prices
will go up, but not my income.
Farmers Position.

inflationist.
His constituents mostly are farm
ers A farmer does not have to buy
much He has his plant CHS farm
His house is built already. His equip
ment will last for quite awhile. His
WARDROBE is not expensive. On his own
place he sets his own table. He has
little to buy, so high prices do not
affect him. But he has a great deal
to sell, and he wants to get as much
as possible for it.
He can overdo it in the long run by
bad economic balance, but he can
make temporary cleanup.
The farmer has been stung, to be
sure, by urbanly tariffs
He is excessively burdened by debts
which he would like to pay off in
cheap money.
Nevertheless, he will suffer from
an economy which may ruin the in
dustrial worker-not the captains of
industry, who will retire upon COM
petencies, but the actual workers.
