We Cannot Sell and

The United States might as well
stop talking about the GLORIOUS
possibility" of increasing business
with other American countries un-
less it is ready to buy more of those
nations products. Assistant Secre-
tary of State Henry F. Grady told
the California State Society yester-
day.
Mr.. Grady. in charge of the re-
ciprocal trade agreement program
at the State Department, spoke on
THE Good Neighbor Policy for the
Americas at a luncheon meeting
of the California Society at the
Washington Hotel.
Pointing to the absence of bound
ary defenses in the Americas as a
lesson for strife-torn Europe, Mr..
Grady emphasized that it is as i'm
portant to reduce trade barriers on
this hemisphere as it is to keep the
territorial boundaries clear of mem

Deplores Protests.
Excessive barriers to trade in
evitably tend to become provocative
he said, adding:
Hence. there is not much use in
talking about better economic, po-
lltlcal and cultural relations with
the Latin American countries unless
we take measures to improve what
is fundamental in those relations
namely. trade"
Mr.. Grady pointed to the develop
ment of the trade agreement pro-
gram with Canada and the Latin
American nations, but deplored the
"clamor of protest. that accom-
panies it.
The idea persists that we can
sell and not buy" he said. I'VE

In observance of educational week
DR.. Cartwright delivered a special
sermon at mass attended by mem
bers of the District of Columbia Ed
ucation Association, yesterday at
1915.
DR.. Cartwright spoke on the place
OF religion in democracy.
He said that it has been pointed
out that while democracy is ideally
the best system of government. it
has this fault that it requires a
nation of aristocrats to make democ-
racy good. Democracy is a grand
and noble idea and God forbid that
1t should perish from the earth"
Following quotations from state
ments of j. Edgar Hoover, director of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
and DR.. Kennedy. a psychologist of
Cornell University, DR.. Cartwright
said that God belongs in education
and when He is out of it, education
can't do a good job.

yield and a higher quality of both
grain and silage than most cpen-
pcllinated varieties. During the past
two or three years, however, the

exceeded the supply with resulting
high prices being paid for seed

of growers has prompted the pro-
duction OF all kinds of so-called hy-

unfortunately, there are many Of
these hybrids finding their way in

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
CITY BASEBALL TEAM
Initial Practice VIII
Be Held Sunday Afternoon
At Fair Grounds

Baseball's initial practice for a
team of players, older than the
Junior Legion ranks allow, has been
called for Sunday afternoon at the
Fair Grounds by Vern Soltau, who
manages the Junior Legion edition.
There's considerable talent here"
he said, IF we can get it out" He
indicated that if proper turnout is
given there is a chance for a pretty
good ball club here.
The club will be affiliated with
no league setup this year, he point
ed out. Attempts to foster a league
under a senior Legion setup fell
through a year ago in the very act
of organization. At that time many
of the surrounding communities
were busily supporting town teams,
had no time for a program of
younger players.
Reports, however, of some league
breakups to the south may make
more teams available. With those
clubs playing independent ball, it
won't be hard to get attractive
games, he pointed out. For the past
year or two, with every available
club sewed up in a league organ
ization, attractive games were diff
ficult to get.

United States Produces
Largest Supply of Corn

Early ColoniStS raised crops Oh

times corn saved them from starva-

small wheat fields. 1t was corn that
kept them supplied with bread, OBJ
serves a writer in the Rural New
Yorker. p
In all the years since then, corn
has been the great American cereal
crop. Corn is King" in most Of our
north central states.
More than half the corn in the
world is grown in the United States.
The second country in corn produc-
ton is Argentina. the third is Soviet
Russia and the fourth Is Brazil.
Leading all our states, Iowa, with
her II, ZOO, 900 acres planted to corn
can produce an annual average Of
400, 900, 900 bushels. More than half
Of Wisconsin's 2,400, 600 acres Of corn
are cut into the silos.
The pioneers of America made
constant use of corn for their daily
needs, but the program was pretty
much the same, day after day. They
had coarsely ground meal, hulled
corn and parched corn. Then in
midsummer there were the roasting
ears. They had the corn-meal mush
and, on special occasions, the In
dian pudding.
Their grinding mills Of those pio-
neer days were only the simple out
fits that Indian women had used
for centuries before. Rude little
hand mills, as they were, only
enough ground or cracked corn was
furnished to supply the household
from day to day. After few years
the Colonists rugged up larger mill
stones and, later, harnessed the wa
ter power for their operation.

Washington, April 25.-President
Roosevelt submitted to congress to-
day a sweeping government reor-

merging welfare, works and lend
ing functions.
A fourth point of the plan, first
to be projected under the recently
enacted government reorganization
act, calls for transfer of the bud
get bureau from the treasury to the
executive office.
A new Federal Security agency
would be created, as well as a Fed
eral Works agency on a Federal
Loan agency.
The plan becomes effective at the
end of 60 days unless both houses
Of congress vote against it.
Under the security agency would
be grouped the social security
board, now an independent estab-
lishment; the u. S. department of
labor; the office of education, now
in the department of the interior;
the public health service, now in
the treasury department; the Ma
tional Youth Administration, now
under the Works Progress Admin
istration, and the Civilian Conser-
walton Corps, now independent.
In the new federal works agency
would be grouped the WPA except

rlows from East to West

A feature Of the Columbia river
that looms large in history but has
been overlooked in later years is
that 1t is the only great waterway
of the nation that flows from east
to west. 1t courses southwark
through the state of Washington,
then swings sharply to the left and
flows westward for more than 800
miles to the ocean. In 1903, when
Thomas Jefferson sent Lewis and
Clark to claim the great river for
the United States, he knew Of 1t

east and west. All the other i'm
