We, Too, Would Be Indignant

We, Too, Would Be Indignant
r IKE BERMUD1ANs, we would be highly indig-
nant. Our local press would burst forth into
verbal pyrotechnics Of denunciation. We would
ask by what right the foreigners could justify
their mneighborliness. We would denounce their
manners. The word boycott would be muttered
in our characteristic excitable way. Laws would
be hastily rushed through to put stop to such
visitations.
Consider the state of apoplexy that would grip
New YorkerS if the Queen Mary dropped anchor
in the Hudson River, hung around for week or
ten days while her passengers slept and ate
aboard but condescendngly came ashore to look
us over during the daytime
Bermuda is justified in its desire to prevent
repetition Of this sort Of thing, to conserve the
interests Of the islands as whole and protect the
islands as a home and resort for Americans and
others who find Bermudians warm and hospita-
BILE people.
The remarkable thing is thatither condemna-
ton of the unmannerlineSs and thoughtlessness
of an American shipping interest has been so
constrained.

Conceding the present war scare
in Europe can very well have a
depressing effect on American
business, Roper called upon the
nation to think in terms of peace
and devote its efforts to the ur.
|gency of domestic problems.
The Commerce Secretary as
serted:
"To what extent this scare is
going to affect business, both
domestic and international, we
can't yet tell. I do believe that,
while we should keep conscious
of the great problems that exist
abroad, we should talk peace.
Our educational endeavor in this
country needs to talk peace more
and war less.
II think it will be better If
American business would think
less of the jittery effects Of
war"

u. S. IN MOVE
TO AID WHEAT

The Government today strove to
take 100000, 900 bushels Of wheat
off the glutted domestic market
for export as it reported a 10-cent
drop in the price of wheat be-
tween mid-July and mid-August.
The Federal Surplus Commodi'
ties Corporation invited grain
dealers to submit offers to sell
wheat to the corporation. The
FSCC, which late last week
launched the export subsidy pro
gram with initial market pur.
chases, is selling the wheat pur'
chased to exporters who agree to
place it in foreign markets.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics previously reported that
mid-August grain prices were 81
per cent of prewar; 10 points un
der July and at the lowest level
since April, 1898. The report
added:
Wheat prices continued to
decline sharply at local farm
markets during the month
ended August IS, influenced by
the record world supplies now
moving to market.
Prices received by farmers
for wheat dropped from 60.8
cents per bushel on July Is to
50.7 cents in mid-August. This
was only a little more than one
half of the average price of 99.4
cents on August Is of last year.
This was the lowest August fig
ure on record since 1882"

There Are Distinctions

There Are Distinctions
VNIE following distinctions are most important:
1. Monopoly is only one Of several ways
in which fair competition may be restrained.
Government interference may be as bad as any
private monopoly. Ignorance and the force Of
old customs and habits may also keep business
men from competing effectively.
2. Some monopoly is necessary, and is called
natural" by economists. This Is true in the
public utility businesses such as electric light
and gas.

Fair competition may be the

Hull hastened to a microphone
for a national broadcast express
ing a more aggressive position
on foreign policy.
While the troop movements
have developed in Europe since
then, the diplomats here have
settled down. They do not ex-
pect a break before the end Of
this year, but, of course, they
could be surprised.
This situation Is a poker game
with guns on the table, and at
any time q gun may fall off
upon the floor and start shoot
ing.
Mr.. Hull is embarking on a
new course of tactics-fighting
the dictators with speeches. The
August IS speech (tying in as it
did with Mr.. Roosevelt's promise
of Canadian defense) was de-
signed to let the tough boys of
the world understand that they
cannot count the United States
out of their political calcula-
tionS.
The Washington times., 1938-09-01
ARRressiUe Stand

THE new basic idea here is to
i promote peace by taking a
more aggressive stand through
stronger public pronouncementS
everytime these diplomatic crises
develop.
Mr.. Hull is going to be max
ing more and more speeches in
that endeavor.
Those who are handling the
situation here do not believe this
further edging toward European
and world affairs will prove dan
gerous. At least they do not
think 1t will prove any more
dangerous for us than the softer,
milder course pursued before.
Their working theory is to use
their diplomatic weapons, such
as the threat of their neutrality
policy, trade embargo tn is
against aggressors, ETC., public
appeals to world opinion-to use
these weapons for peace by
, timing public pronouncementS to
meet diplomatic crises abroad.
In doing this, it is apparent
they have a close working under
standing with the British and
French; no commitments, Of
course, but close mutual ex-
change of diplomatic informa-
ton, etc.

shown time and again how this wretched field
we now have can be enlarged and made abso-
lutely safe. Do we do anything about it? Moth
ing, so far as know, except use up q lot Of

I don't suppose there is an airport in the
country situated so near to the city as ours
and in such a splendid location but there is
not another one that is so intensely dreaded by
all the fliers.
We have been warned over and over by the
finest minds in the country that this landing
field Is nothing but death trap. That wretched
little blimp is right there in the corner going
up and down about every half hour. There are
roads crisscrossing and short runways that make
it such perilous place to take off and land in.

It's a Very Old Problem

It's Very Old Problem
MONOPOLY is very old problem. It existed
under medieval kings. It is not conflict
between democracy and industrial power; it Is
q conflict between individual freedom of eco
nomic choice and one Of the many enemies Of
such freedom. Monopolies run by governments
which are called democracies may be as bad
as any.
The results Of antitrust laws depend entirely
upon the intelligence and vigor with which they
are enforced.
Above all, we should regard monopoly not
merely as something which raises prices or takes
tolls from the public, but as an obstacle to free
competition. The monopoly problem is the prob
lem Of making competition an effective force in
economic life.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Among the famous poets of an
cient Rome is one known as Horace
His father had been a slave but had
been set free and was the owner
Of small farm.
AS a young man Horace took part
In the warfare which followed the
death Of Julius Caesar. Joining the
side Of Brutus. he was made an OFF,
Ger and fought in the Battle of
Philippi. in Northern Greece.
The battle went against Brutus,
and Horace tells us he threw away"
his shield. He also declares. rather
playfully. that the god Mercury sent
down q mist to save him from cap
ture or death.
When the soldiers of Brutus were
pardoned Horace went back to Italy
and lived in Rome. For q year or
two he earned his living as q clerk,
but his mind was on the verses,
which he produced whenever he had
IN hour to spare.
A rich Roman read some of the
poems Of Horace and liked them 50
well that he gave the poet q house

his living expenses.

All that night Phillips rode on,
and near midnight of Christmas Eve
he rode into Fort Laramie, frozen
and exhausted. His horse dropped
dead at his feet. Phillips ride

william judd Fetterman, with 80
men, set out to relieve the train.
The 81 men walke1 into an In
dian trap, and to the last man they
were wiped out. Col. Darlington,
realizing he was undermined by
the Fetterman massacre, saw as his
only hope reinforcements from Fort
Laramie. 236 miles distant.
At this point Portugee Phillips, a
civilian guide, volunteered to 60
