500 Air Dreadnaughts visioned for
U. 5. in Hemisphere Defense Policy

WASHINGTON. Oct. 18. CUP)-
The administration may ask Con-
gress early in the next regular ses-
sion for 500 air dreadnaughts, out
stripping the famed flying fort
resses" in speed and cruising range
in a move to bolster the army ali
corps to meet the expanded needs
of a western hemisphere defense

tivly today.
The new planes. which would cost
about $1OO,0OO,0O0, would be in adj
dition to the July l. 1941 goal OF
$500 planes authorized by the last
session of Congress in the 100000
600 aviation expansion program.
Work on this program is being ex-
pedited. Officials now believe that
it will be completed seven or eight
months ahead of schedule, which
would enable the army to place adj

Informed quarters told the Unit

Ship Restrictions
May Be Eased in
Neutrality Bill

WASHINGTON. Oct. 18. UP)-
Thirteen democratic members of
the senate foreign relations COM
mittee accepted in principle today
a formula for modifying drastic
restrictions on American shipping
under the neutrality program.
Under the plan, American vessels
could carry on trade with bellliger-
ents in certain designated areas
in the Pacific and south Atlantic,
but could not include arms, ammu-
milton or implements of war in their
cargoes.
The group agreed to meet again
this afternoon and continue the
discussion.
Sen. Tom Connally, D., Texas,
who announced the agreement ''in
principle" emphasized that the
group has accepted no definite
amendment to the neutrality bill
but that the plan under discussion
would be the basis for an amend
ment.
Connally said the group appeared
willing to remove restrictions on
American shipping in the Pacific,
the China Sea, Indian ocean, Ara
blan Sea, Bay of Bengal, and in
certain waters in the south Atlantic.

''Mr. Chamberlain's umbrella IS

expert fencer.
''The ribs of the umbrella can
be removed and expanded at a
moments notice into a wire en-
tanglement, behind which Mr..
Chamberlain could take cover if
charged by cavalry. The cover
can quickly be converted into a
sandbag and used either for a fir

AGRICULTURE:
Do,Ungrade

In booming 1929 U. S. gross farm
income was $12,791, 100000 In de-
pression-ridden 1882 it was less than
half, or $5,562, 100000. Returning
prosperity zoemed it to $40, $3.50, 00O,-
600 in 1887. But in 1888, according
to bureau of agricultural economics
reports, it dropped again to $780,
100000.
This was not unexpected, since
farm income always follows the gen.
eral economic trend. Chief interest
ing revelations: ID That, contrary
to popular belief, the u. S. farm
problem is not confined to a few
major crops like cotton and wheat;
(2) that the $482, 900, 900 in U. S. SUBJ
sides for 1888 was 81 per cent more
than in 1887 ($367, 900, 000), yet total
income went down anyway.
Two possible deductions: ID That
all the U. S. governments costly
farm relief measures have been in
effective; (2) that on the contrary
they have been effective in bolster
ing farm income during natural
"off" years.

Bound to Destroy Property
Value of Private Plants

This conclusion is borne out, as
far as I am concerned, by the pub
lie announcements of those charged
with making the policy of the power
commission and, therefore, the pow
er policy of the Roosevelt admins
tration. The conclusion is accepted
by many also because of the unend-
ing efforts of Secretary Ickes of the
interior department. Mr.. Ickes, as
is rather generally known, has urged
municipalities, wherever he could
find one, to borrow federal money or
accept an outright gift of funds for
the purchase or construction of pub
licly owned electric light plants. He
even has gone so far as to pour mil
lions out on the plains, agricultural
areas, as he did in Nebraska, where
there is no market for more than
thimbleful of electricity. Such a
course was bound to destroy the
property value of private plants
which did not have a bottomless
treasury from which to make up OPP
Grating losses.
When one has a knowledge of all
of this background, the Niagara
Falls story changes its aspect, con-
siderably. The power commission
has been kicking the Niagara Falls
case around about 10 years. Sud-
denly, a couple of months ago a
hearing was ordered on a great
number of charges of violation of
license. They are too technical to
be of much concern here, but it is
plain to see that if the commissions
views are sustained in the courts, a
wedge has been driven by the gov
eminent, itself, into the structure of
private ownership. In other words,
a federal agency has carved ma
tional policy by use of regulatory
power and has done so by the simple
process of enforcing its views rath-
er than the wishes of the people
which are expressed through laws of
congress.
