the same reserve, but there has
been no widespread failures.
There has been no investigation

there has been an investigation
of stock market impediments.
Solutions are expensive but must

AT the. American Association

English speaking Ottawa in
Canada DR.. Stuart Rice of the u.
S. Central Statistical Board said
that people are escaping the
towering problems Of impending
war and a more complex civil

color cartoons, and reading fairy
Rferies, And it is refreshing to
turn away from the great prob
lens of war, sex, social welfare
and live in some pleasant imagi,
native world for a few hours.
The worlds natural and sym
thetic products assume sufficient
food, clothing, fuel, power and
luxuries for many centuries to
come, but economic boundaries
of nations do not equally encom-
pass these natural resources, and
there never can be national self
sufficiency for any great length
of time.

GERMANY TO MEXICO


A rather strange turn of af-
fairs in Mexico came to light yes,
terday. Acting through an AM
erican agent, Germany will get
90 per cent of $3,OO0,0O0 in; oil
and oil products produced by
Mexico iE exchange for agri-
cultural implements. Before this
America alone furnished Mexico
its agricultural tools. 1t is not
the question Of the $3,000,000.
That is small item in supplies
for nation. 1t is that Germany
may depend for some extent on
the products of this western
hemisphere. America turned
down its demands for helium gas.
Here it begins to go after oil. 1t
is long way to go after supplies
and a war blockade can easily
shut off that source.

FUNDS URGED
FOR BUR|ALS.
WIDOWS AID
Plan Fixes 5000
Funeral Cost

Far-reaching revision Of the
Federal Governments old-age in
surance system will be called for
next week by the Social Security
Advisory Council, it was revealed
today.
The council will propose that
the Government pay for the fun
erals of workers who die before
they reach the age of IS; pay PEN
Sions to widows and orphans:
start old-age payment in 1910 in
stead of 1912 as originally pro
posed, and allow married men $40
a month more than single men.
$500 FUNERALS
Decision to advocate payment
of funeral expenses, not in excess
of 5000, was reached by the coun-
Gil in an effort to take a financial
strain off families little able to
bear it.
Liberalization of the Social Sc
curity Act, it is hoped, will StaVe
off pressure on Congress for adop-
ton of one of the numerous easy
money old-age pension plans.
The council members were re-
ported to feel that widows and
children of workers covered by the
old age pension system who die
before they are IS should be given
pensions so they would not be-
come public charges. Payments to
workers who reached the age Of IS
should be adequate to care for
the workers family, the council
feels, it was said.
FOR BROADER BASE
The council, it was reported.
will recommend broadening the
base of the Social Security act to
extend old age benefits to $780,
90 seamen and workers in banks,
charitable and religious organize
tons. Later, probably in 1941.
the act would be broadened again
to take in an estimated 100000
farm and domestic workers.
The council, it was said, is in
favor of retaining the present
graduated scale of employe-em.

"of seeing in the Capital City
of Washington. a great audi
forum which might be built in
honor of the great Thomas JEFF
ferSon and at the same time
serve the people, not only of the
National Capital, but Of the
nation itself.
''It would serve many pur-
poses. For instance, the national

congresses and other large
gatherings would be drawn to
the Capital City if it was known
that Washington had a place
large enough to accommodate
thousands of delegates"
