1910, A Better Year,

A government survey, made sometime ago in an
effort to forecast the probable trend of agriculture
industry, finance and business in general, set
forth with the following conclusions:
l. Everything considered, it seems likely that
1910 will be a moderately better year for business
than 1889.
2. The net effect of the will be favorable
to American business but this will be felt very
gradually
3. Aside from the war, the immediate domestic
business, outlook is favorable, and the present
swing will continue for several months.
4. decline from the peak of this upswing may
some time during next year, but should not
be serious.
The above predictions were made in a period
of great uncertainty and only represent composite
opinion of various government officials, to what
might happen. This outlook may be changed espec
tally in view of the chaotic situation in Europe.
All in ALL it looks like better year than 1889
but things happen fast and turn the other
way could not be impossible. Yet there are worse
things and the worst of these would be involve
ment in the But since all classes of our people
seem so determined to stay out of it, we will prob
ably keep noses to own American grindstone
and remain at home.

How About A Little More For Main Street

Mayor LaGuardia has launched a booster spirit
in staid old New Yawk City, and he hopes that he
will receive cooperation which will make his city
better known throughout the country.
Evidently New York has been lacking in booster
spirit and their No. 1 man, LaGuardia realizes the
necessity of little home town boosting.
New York is not the only city that needs the
booster spirit, for there many others that we
know that lack the initiative necessary for better
town spirit and improvement.
For instance, right here at home, (athough the
spirit is not dormant), we know of MANY things
which can be done in the years to come which will
make it a better place to live But there is
penditure connected with them.
However, the immediate adoption of real boost
spirit doesn't have to cost dime for the return
of dividends in many ways will offset the expendi-
ture. If New York needs of the booster spirit,
a little more of it won't hurt Sank Centre either.

Napoleon in Exile

The worlds most restless and
ambitious nature, Napoleon, spent
the last six years of his life in
exile on the little Island of st.
Helena, learning enough English
words to read what was going on
in the Europe he once controlled,
debating his memoirs, gossiping
about his English custodians, pre-
serving order and harmony in his
little French household, the sole
crumbs of existence left him to
humble.

a financial or political entree to the
new Spain than would strong-willed,
independent General Franco.
Thus the Spanish solution fits per-
fectly into Italo-German anti-democ-
racy plans, to be clirnaxed when
Rome pushes Mediterranean terri
torial demands against France.
Most astute piece Of diplomatic
maneuvering in recent weeks was
the Polish junket of Count Galeaz-
20 Ciano, Italian foreign minister.
While Count Ciano did his best to
destroy the already Intellectual Po-
lish-French military alliance, 5000
Italians were repatriated from
French possessions, mobilization
was sped and three new decree
laws were effected, giving the gov
eminent more wartime power.
Even so the Polish victory was
small spoils beside the moral vic
tory gained when Britain and
France, standing up and barking
back for the first time in three
years, openly declared their soil
darity and went busily ahead with
military plans to the chagrin Of
Rome and Berlin. Another demo-
cratic victory took place in Poland
even while Count Ciano was making
his triumphal entry. Angry anti
Nazi demonstrations informed the
count that while Poland might be
his friend, it was not the friend of
Count Ciano's Friend Hitler. AS
before, the key to Europe's future
still rests in Spain, where note
from General Franco will place eth
err French-B British or an Italian
German combination ace high. I'm
believably, nation just emerging
from civil war apparently holds the
balance of power.

agriculture

<18 gOeSDVtSs 2
Some 100000 bales of surplus
U. S. cotton are piled up under gov
eminent loans of about $500, ZOO, 900.
Though unhappy, cotton farmers
voted for continued production con-
troll last December because they ex-
pected more loans. With planting
time near and no substitute yet
found for the present loan system
(which cannot be continued econom-
ically so long as huge government
held surpluses fail to move), Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
lace offered three suggestions to the
senate farm committee and ended
by urging adoption of the last:
~ Continue the present loan plan,
provided American cotton can be
placed on the unhappily low world
market. One means of doing this is
through U. S. subsidy.
(2) Abandon the loan plan and
grant sufficiently large outright
benefit payments to maintain farm
income. Mr.. Wallace's favorite
method here is probably the ILL
regarded processing tax.
(3) Peg domestic prices and sell
SURPRISES abroad for whatever they
would bring, as under the much
debated ''cost-of-production" plan.
Though cost-of-production has never
held favor with Mr.. Wallace, the
impossibility of winning a return of
processing taxes has presumably
forced a compromise. The few
known facts of the two-price cotton
plan are that present loan provi-
sions would be retained to maintain
domestic prices higher than the
present level (about 8.3 cents per
pound), while government-owned
cotton would be sold to exporters
for world distribution.
Europe
Seldom has history found con-
queror who would retire to let 9TH
ers enjoy the sweet fruit of victory.
Since 1882 Gen. Francisco Franco
has grown in stature as Spain man
of destiny, at first unknown outside
his native land but later an inter
national figure as head of the In
surgent rebellion. With the civil war
apparently ended, all Europe has
looked to Spain for some hint of
Generalissimo Francois plans, dis
covering that the impossible is ap-
parently true.
Best guesses hold that monarchy
will return in the person of Don
Juan, third son of former King AL.
fonso whose properties were re-
stored last fall. Popular, untouched
by the deadly haemophilia that
plaques many Bourbons, Prince
Juan would apparently rule with
Ramon Serrano Suner, Francois
brother-in-law, who holds the best
chance of becoming premier. Fran
CO himself would retire to head the
army.
But what appears an overgenerous
gesture on Francois part may be
dictated by Rome. An Italian resi-
dent for several years, 25-year-old
Don Juan would not only bow to
Fascist wishes but would pacify hos
tile Spaniards as General Franco
never could. Moreover such a pup
pet would be less apt to offer Britain
