tions the royal train might then re-
turn to Canada for more extended

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS

The news is again going around
tina. the Roosevelt Administration
is inaugurating a new policy of
"appeasing" industry and business.
There is plenty of reason why
the Administration might do that
but business in general seems to
be going on the theory that seeing
is believing. According TO practi-
cally all of the economists, and
especially those connected in one
way or another with the govern
ment, business should be on the
upgrade now Inventories are low.
Government deficit spending is at
a high level. Public purchasing
power is in fair shape. There
seems to be plenty OF room for
expansion, with consequent new
security issues, in important i'm
dustries.
SO far SO good. But industry is

NAVAL NOTE

The TERED0 or ship worm is
not a worm but belongs to the
family of mollusks. They bore in
to wood by the use of the file like
edges of one end of their shells.
The shell remains about the same
size but the neck grows longer
and longer as their burrow leng-
thens for their food is procured by
tw osmall tubes that remain at
the opening. This small mollusk
has sunk more ships and sent
more men to sleep beneath the
waves than all the Worlds Naval
battles.
AT the time the "three mile
limit" was set as the seward
boundaries of the coastal states,
three marine miles constituted
the range of their cannon, and it
was felt that a coastal state could
maintain its authority to that ex-
tent.
The Identification Section of the
Navy Department has on file the
fingerprints of every officer and
enlisted man who has served in
the Navy since July /, 1907. Ten
former men of the Navy and six
former members of the Marines
who lost their lives in the hurri-
cane on the Florida Keys in 1885
were positively identified by the
Navy Identification system. These
identifications prevented these
men from being buried as UNI
known.

There is still plenty of dissension
among White House intimates. On
one side is the radical" wing, led
by the famed team of Corcoran
and Cohen, and they are still a
big influence with the President.
On the other side is the "conser-
vative" wing, led at the moment
by Secretaries Morgenthau and
Hopkins, which is also influential.
Over a period of time, one wing
is uppermost for while, then the
other. Right now the "conserva-

most weight. But whether their
conciliatory policies will be given
permanence is still a matter of
question.
