The commissioner cited that the city is losing money in taxes on the property it does not sell. Proceeds from this sale of prop erty should go into the surplus re- source sinking fund, he said.

lessor in a great university that there everybody has problem and nobdy has a solution. The world is looking today for solution of its problems. It seems foolish to tell students in our colleges to go out and search for solutions of these great problems when professors who have grown old searching, have fail cd to find the solution.
 Catholic Colleges
 That is the glory of our Catholic Colleges. It presents a problem and it gives solution.
 "The battle of this age is a battle of ideas, battle of p:lilosophies. We will never put order in the world until we put order in the minds of men. We will never conquer Russia until we conquer the philosophy of Russia. Men may disarm and na- tions may disarm but they will con- tinue to fight as long as they have opposite ideas and philosophy. The battle of this age is a battle of ideas and philosophies. To conquer crime, to conquer suicide, to conquer communism-and atheism and all other isms, you must conquer the false philosophy behind all these actions"
 Dr. M. J. Lawlor, president of the Naugatuck Valley club, delivered the welcoming address and introduced the toastmaster. Other speakers called for brief remai:;s were the Rev. Joseph L. Kinney of Hartford and Frank J. Kenney of Waterbury.

Backed by the opinion of James c. Robinson, Griffenhagen & Asso- ciates' partner, who submitted re- ports on city finances yesterday at a meeting of the board of finance, Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor ruled yesterday that three small bond issues, authorized but unsold, may still be sold although the projects for which they were in- tended have been completed and the cost defrayed from general funds.
 Also, he offered an ordinance re- lating to future temporary loans by the city whereby the city may use bond funds and special funds for current expenses under certain re- strictions. The mayor must execute notes for deposit in such funds when money is used for the general fund, and the first tax receipts, basis of the bond issues, must be used to pay off such notes.
 Over Expenditures
 Over-eXpenditures for the abat- toir, $17,00O, and use of $118,000 from the Huntingdon avenue bridge bond fund for other purposes must be made up by taxation, he ruled
 The ordinance was proffered at request of Commissioner John H. Cess to correct procedure of bor- rowing from bond and special funds for current expenses. Provisions include the notes by the mayor, in the event bond funds are necessary for use in current expense; that when the city borrows in anticipa- ton of taxes that bids must be called for in writing from not less than three banks.
 It provides that whenever it is necessary to borrow in anticipation of taxes that statement be drawn up setting forth the exact amount needed, its purpose and the amount of taxes due; tkat the amount bor- rowed is 70 per cent or less of the amount due; approval of the board to follow and from the board of fi- nance it must go to the board of aldermen, who have the so:e right to borrow money in anticipation of taxes.

ArgentinG's Theory

IA merely protecting her ex-

until you analyze it as an inter
national policy.
If every nation did this, there
would not be half the trade in
the world that there is today.
Bilateral balancing or bartering
simply means whiting down
trade. It means world business
cannot grow.
But, even more inane from
the selfish national standpoint,
bilateral and barter nations are
making their own people pay
the expense. For example, the
German people at a particular
date this year were paying $50
a ton for Manitoba No. l
wheat which was then selling in
London at $35 a ton; they were
paying $38 a metric quintal for
eggs selling in London at $3.50.

FARMERS WANT
CROP CONTROL,
WALLACE SAYS
Act to Be Improved for
Next Year, He Says

Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace, asserting that the ma
tons farmers overwhelmingly IA
vor New Deal crop-control legis-
lation, predicted today that the
measure will be strengthened
and improved next year in order
to be Of greater benefit to all agri-
cultural workers.
Wallace based his conclusions
on the results Of crop referenda
held among growers of cotton, rice
and these types Of tobacco. Al
though only the cotton growers
gave the two-thirds majority neceS-
sary to begin operation Of market
ing quotas he said the referenda
constitute remarkable indcrSe-
ment" Of AAA programs.
HUGE CROP REPORTED
The Secretary's statement was
made shortly after the Crop Re
porting Board in its final report
Of the year, estimated 1888 wheat
production at $50 ,801 900 bushels
the fourth largest crop in Ameri-
can history-and corn at 2,542.-
238, 900 bushels, slightly lower
than last years harvest.
Wallace contended that the
referenda results, in which he said
76.5 per cent Of the 1857, 1852 pro
ducers Of the three crops voted for
the marketing restrictions, have
proved the absurdity of the
charges that the agricultural ad-
justment act Of 1888 imposes die
tatorship upon the farmers"
QUOTAS REJECTED
Growers of rice and flue-cured
tobacco rejected marketing quotas
in a referendum two weeks ago, at
the same time that cotton farmers
voted overwhelmingly in favor Of
sale restrictions. In a poll con-

The Secretary said that on the
basis Of early returns, 1,216,147 of
the 1,b87 1852 producers taking part
in the referenda voted in favor Of
restrictions. He added:
THE farmers voted on the Spe-
cific issue whether they wanted a
more positive form of control for
their commodity. The vote did
not involve any other phase of the
