IN MEMORIAM

SMITH sad and loving memory of
our dear wife and mother, Emma Walton
Smith, who passed away December 13, 1886.
Three years have passed since that sad day,
God called the one we loved, away,
Forget her, no. we never will;
As time rolls on we love her still.
In silence she suffered, in patience she bore,
Till God called her home to suffer no more.
Sadly missed by Husband and Children.

ECONOMICS OF THE WAR

No one can predict from purely economic consid- eratons who will be the victor in the present war or how long the war will last The economic forces are themselves so complicated that effort to appraise them can be definitive Yet the plans not merely of statesmen but of business firms and individuals must rest on some estimate regarding the future, and we must try to draw the most reasonable inferences we can good deal of light thrown on several aspects of the problem address by Professor B. M Ander- son of the University of California before the Invest ment Bankers Association.
 The principal economic effect of great war, he began by pointing out is to reduce production in belgerent countries while greatly increasing con- sumption This central fact immediately points to the financial difficulties of the German Government. Dr. Brinokmann, the State Secretary of the Ministry of Economics, declared year ago that taxes and other forced contributions already taking about one-third of the total national income while the state was spending more than half the national income. If this was the position of Germany at peace what the position be now?
 From the standpoint of a "self-contained econ omy" Germany gained liabilities rather than assets when she took over Austria and Czechosloyaka; she gained more mouths than food. She cannot hope to compensate for the blockade by getting much more from the Balkans because she has already had most of the surplus materials and foods available in the Balkans for the last two years. Great emphasis has been laid on the economic help expected from Russia but some measure of probable Russian help today may be gauged by the fact that in the period 191119l3 Russia held 42 percent of the worlds export trade, while this had fallen to percent by 1937 Germanys real problem moreover. may be that of getting an adequate steady supply of specific thngsfor example iron gasoline.
 Even apart from own laws, on the other hand, neither Great Britain nor France enjoys the credit standing that did in 1884 the prestges of the pound and franc are not what they were, and the whole structure of international credit and confidence has been badly shaken. On the other hand if we add the gold holdings of the British and French at home to their gold bank balances and investments in the United States we get the huge cash total theoret- cally available for outside purchases of nearly s9OO0 100000
 One conclusion that emerges from MT Anderson's study is that the economic differences between 1914 and 1889 may possibly be greater than the resem- blances The participants apparently go into the war weaker than they went into the last so far as economic resources are concerned War in 1939 moreover, is much highly mechanized and costly than in 1914. It will presumably exhaust the economic resources of the belgerents more rapidly than the last did. Even barring compromise ol early peace, it is not easy MT. Anderson concludes

Huey Long's Heirs
(New York Times)


 Huey Long was assassnated September 9, 1885 His political heirs Richard w. Leche, Seymour Weiss and Robert S Maestri, Mayor of New Orleans The indignation caused by the murder helped the Long machine to maintain itself in power. Then came the evil days of investigation and affidavit. The rich spos of the University of Louisiana were brought to light State Federal and parish inquiries and prose- cutons were set afoot Governor Leche resigned and was succeeded by Hueys brother Earl, MT. Maestris selection for next Governor.
 The primary January 16 On January will begin the trial of MT Leche, accused with MT Weiss of conspiracy to violate the hot oil" act. MT Leches innocence is to be presumed until the contrary shown but in view of the various charges and pro- ceedings the runners of the Long machine seem to have been unfortunate in their company Besides, the Louisiana public that for a long time seemed canous or cynical has walked up with vengeance. One Of Huey Longs avorite and most offensive policies was the appointment of members of the House and Senate to State and city boards and commissions at fat sal- aries Thus the supposed representatives of the people were made his personal agents.
 It is said that the grand jury of Orleans Parish wanted to indct these legislators with two jobs. Seven jurors brought a petition into court The judge wouldn't allow it to be read. Two jurors were arrested Published the newspapers this petition charged the District Attorney with doing his best to choke the investigation and protect the politicians. The jurors asked that his successor be appointed crowded mass meeting demanded the reinstatement of the ar rested jurors and the impeachment and recall of the District Attorney Proceedings civil and criminal were instituted.
 Till last summer it looked almost hopeless to resist the dead hand of Huey Long, still all-powerful in Louisiana. The successes already obtained in the courts and the gathering force of public opinion seem to promise that the regime is on it's way out It is curious that it should survive long the dominating personality of it's creator.

 but do not compel"
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 3

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day. The morning is especially prom ising to aviators and naval officers IL is a date to launch carefully planned business enterprises. Mer- chants are well directed and should have satisfactory relations with bankers under this configuration.
 Heart and Home: Women come under stimulating and helpful plane tary influences today. There is a sign indicating that their foresight is to be trusted and their ambitious plans aided. Peace organizations and women's clubs are subject to strong guidance. College girls may expect romantic friendships. Social festivi- ties will be successful under this configuration.
 Business Affairs: Merchants and manufacturers continue under the most favorable planetary govern ment. Builders of airplanes and in- tricate machinery will profit greatly after overcoming serious obstacles. Bankers will meet eXtraordinary conditions in the world of finance. Labor continues under threatening aspects.
 National Issues: An untoward in cident will arouse public sentiment regarding the continued existence of subversive organizati tions. Propa- ganda will circulate through foreign language syndicates as we'll as through secret channels independent of the press. Radio will come under more severe restrictions than have governed it in the past.
 International Affairs: Russia may play a treacherous game in the war for Stalin is under planetary guid- ance that encourages secrecy and double-dealing. Some sort of a hang over from Spain is to be responsible for sudden changes of policy. The seers have warned consistently that the Soviet government could not be trusted, fact that Hitler may dis cover.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fairly good fortune Courtship and marriage are indicated for the young and middle aged, but there may be deception and disappointment for some.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be affectionate and retir- ing in nature. These Scorpio subjects are temperamental and susceptible to moods sad and gay
