WASHINGTON, June 81. - If the
New World nations agree to the
economic union" plan recently pro-
posed here. the United States is in
for a program which would make
its previous farm-relief and export
subsidy programs look mild.
To begin with Europe annually
buys around $4,000 100000 worth
of Latin American goods. On top
of that the United States itself each
wear exports farm products running
TO hundreds of millions of dollars.
ANY international cartel formed to
buy and handle the New Worlds eX-
port SURPRISES. therefore, would nave
to spend an enormous sum each
vear-and most if not all OF the
money would have to be put up by
Uncle Sam.
But that only starts it. Once
the cartel has bought these goods
il will have to dispose of them.
The bulk of them, undoubtedly,
could be sold to Europe-Hltler S
Europe. or anybody else'S. But
there is also little doubt here that
large quantity would remain as
surplus. What to do about that?
PLAN LIKELY
TO RE COSTLY
Tho administration is firmly set
AGAINST airy plan which would mean
the dumping of Latin American
agricultural products into the U. 5
market. to compete with home
grown goods. It frankly faces the
fact that a good part of the carriers
acquisitions simply couldn't be SOLD
anywhere.
One suggestion is that these ma
torials-mostlv fCodstuffs-could be
moved ir. the United States via
vast extension of the current 1000
stomn Dlan. Another one Is
simply that the whole business could
if need be. Just be dumped into the
ocnan-or. possibly, given away via
international relief organizations TO
feed refugees. and so on. In any
case. tho prospect that a huge loss,
running perhaps to half a billion a
year would have TO be taken Is
openly admitted
THE SWASTIKA
FOLLOWS TRADE
Why. then. do tho SporSor& OF
this plan think it would be good
business?
The answer is that the much
feared economic penetration of Hit
Ter in tho New World Will not come
through his sales of German made
goods. but through his purchases
If he controls the market for each
Individual nation, he can write his
own ticket; lie can, for instance, say
to given republic, Il will take
YOUR entire export crop off youl
hands. IF" and then go on from
there.
IT, however he does not contro

in the New World knows that il
can sell its wares to New WOrlt
corporation. and if all Of Hitler!
purchases must be made through
that corporation then tho, argyll
mcnt goes. tho dancer OF economic
penetration vaulShcs.
PLENTY OF
OBJECTIONS
II goes without aging that there
is nothing Ike unanImty on thu
virtues of this scheme.
The enormous expense IS the frs
objection. Another is the sug
gcstor that the plan would be un
workable from sheer cumbersome
ness.
However, it looks now As II this
program might be approved b,
Congress.

about the other population char
acteristics which are found in COM
bination with high and low income.
In other respects the relation be-
tween population and income is even
more vital and fundamental. The
annual increase in the population
is now far smaller than it was few
years ago, and the number of
children is rather rapidly declining.
1t has been frequently stated that q
disproportionate fraction of these
children are growing up in homes
with very low incomes and thus re-
ceiving inadequate preparation for
the duties of citizenship. Income
data in the census will show to what

in combination with education will
show the extent to which low in

American people are improving their
economic status with increasing age:
and also to what extent those ap-
preaching old age are compelled to

Inquiries In Line With
Legislative Precedent.
That the income inquiries are in
line with legislative precedent Is
proven by the fact that in the con-
gressional act authorizing the un-
employment census Of 1887 Congress
called for information about per-
sons partially employed or unem-
ployed and their dependents and
income"
It should be remembered that
every census worker Is sworn to
keep all these answers confidential,
and is subject to $1,000 fine or two
years imprisonment, or both, if
he violates his oath. Moreover,
many revealing questions have been
asked by the Census Bureau in the
past. Each person was asked to
state the value of all the real estate
he owned in the census of 1850.
Each person was required to give
the value Of all his property in 1860
and 1870. Questions about mort

prompted their inclusion. The rec

$50 years of service to the people

Color freedom does not necessarily
mean wildness. A harmonious and
restful atmosphere may be created

on the walls, as with one. Not only
is 1t possible to do this, but very
often 1t is wise. Light falling on

change. A peach-colored wall will
be very much paler and whittier

the wall opposite the windows. In

Research PRODUCING
Stronger Structures
Built Of Concrete
Plastic Flow Found
Vital Factor in
Stress Under Load

Researches in the plastic flow OF
concrete are contributing to the
safer design Of concrete structures,
according to report to the Engi-
neering Foundation, which is spon-
soring testing program at the
University of California.
"The results nave led to new
conceptions of the behavior of con-
crete under the action of stress and
to important notifications of prac-
tice, both in design and construc-
tion," it is declared by Prof. Ray
mond E. Davis, who is directing
the work.
"As building materials go, con-
crete In its present form is fairly
new product. Such success as has
been attained in the scientific con-
troll of concrete is due largely to
the efforts of research minded en-
gineers who have sought to i'm
prove its qualities. Better propor-
toned, stronger and more durable
concrete structures today as COM
pared with yesterday, tomorrow as
compared with today, are and will
be the result of carefully planned
research on some of the lesser un-
derstood properties of concrete.
Improvements Gradual.
'~The improvement of the ma
terials of construction with which
man has had to deal has come
about by a gradual process. This
process has sometimes involved the
bitter experience of failure, but for
the most part the patient accumu-
lation of systematic body of
knowledge with the development of
more accurate and dependable in
formation as to the properties of
our materials of construction has
greatly increased our efficiency in
their USE"
In the field Of reinforced con-
crete design, Prof. Davis explains,
new formulas for the construction
of concrete columns take into con-
sideration the effect of plastic flow,
which is the reformation or gradual
yielding caused by the continued
application of heavy loads.
These new formulas are based on
the ultimate strength of the con-
crete, which IS measured by crush
ing a standard 6 by IL inch cylin-
der after it has been allowed to
harden for % days, and on the
yield point of steel The latter is
the unit load at which a steel bar
will continue to stretch" without
increase of load.
