up the world market. Even Brazil
our pet South American country
has been fairly adamant about that
But if the U. S. Government goes
into the world market with sub

heat on India and Brazil. They may
be forced to an agreement.

Philadelphia Record

Captain Joseph Patterson, publisher OF the New
York Daily News is an erudte gentleman who knows
his way around Manhattan subways and Midwest
corn rows. This Citizen Of the World knew so much
about the so-caed public mind that he built the
biggest newspaper circulation in America.
So, when Cap Patterson undertakes the job Of
building a national circulation for Mayor LaGuardia
as our next President hold your hat That fellow
might do it.
In an editorial Saturday, captioned Butch La
Guardia Is No Catholic" Mr.. Patterson started some
thing. He wants the Mayor to forget he named
Fiorello little Flower and he wants the public to
remember that his name is Butch LaGuardia.
He wants it clearly understood that though Butch
LaGuarda is of Italian descent he is not a Catholic
but an Episcopalian Mr. Patterson thinks many
Catholics would be great Presidents but he's writing
purely political terms with clear knowledge that
religion unfortunately does play part in wrecking
Presidential ambitons9
So far so good Butch" ought to be worth about
100000 votes twice the circulation of the Daily

The pending Chilean proposal would put tax upon

Good and evil planetary aspect,

Women may be sensitive to adverse
influences early in the morning. but

This is read as an suspicious date

avoided especially.
Change will mark the world. as

altered Diplomatic complication
will be more intricate than at any

The stars stimulate in all peoples
a stirring of independence. and I'M
rest will spread despite governments
and rulers. Conflict between oppo-
site ideals of democracy and dicta

Between Germany and Russia
there may develop a new under
standing and even an alliance for
mutual aid. the stars indicate, al
though Stain and Hitler have evil
portents presaging decrease OF
power.
This evening should be suspicious
for theaters and places of entertain

introduced for summer leisure hours.
Australia and New Zealand will
have an exceedingly prosperous six
months and will display sense of
independence not altogether APP

THREE-CENT SUBSIDY

The present talk is of subsidy
of two to three cents, or more II
necessary. That would put Ameri-
can cotton on the world market at
six cents a pound maybe five, or
even less. If it should take a three
cent subsidy to export 100000 bales
during the next year or Sc, chat
would represent loss to the Gov
eminent of S75.000.0OO But at pres
ent it is spending s44000000 year
to store and handle the cotton it
already has on hand. If it could
dump half of it on the world mar
ket in the course of time, half OF
the handling cost would be saved, at
any rate.
The Department of State has OPP
posed dumping, as it upsets the
whole scheme of the reciprocal
trade program. Moreover, it is a
particularly hard blow at Brazil
which. in spite of its cotton fields,
is a fairly nice neighbor.
But the Department OF Agricul-
