Norwegian Foreign Minister Koht

Hambro are well and agreeably re-
membered in Washington from vis-
its here a couple OF years ago. Mr..
koht came to discuss a reciprocal
trade agreement and to pave the
way for the $4,000 900 credit granted
Norway last February by the Export
and Import Bank. The credit has
been suspended because of our rec
ognition that Norway is at war
with Germany. Secretary Hull

leaders, who found him a modern,
progressive statesman. Mr.. Ham,

Industry's Big Profits.
In this neutral corner it looks
as if the G. O. P. is going to have
tough time making the country
believe that 1910 still finds Amer
ican industry wallowing in the
dumps of depression. Profits of the
first $50 corporations to report for
the initial quarter of the year were
SO per cent greater than in the 1899
period. Their net income was s272,-
29i 900, compared to $l8l ,375 900 in
last years first quarter, an increase
of roundly so per cent. A. T. & T.
earnings were go per cent higher.
All major industrial groups showed
larger incomes than year ago.
Biggest gains were scored by rail-
road equipment. petroleum and
steel. Twenty-six steel companies
amassed profits of $25, ,134 900 against
s6.865 900 in 1899, despite the de-
cline in operations since November.

Farm Life Threatened"

Indicative of the gravity and
wide ramifications of the facts
elected on the Coast, Senator La
Toilette sums up his committees
findings in these thought provoking
words:
There are ominous signs that
the Nation is confronted with a
transition from the traditional
family farm" toward Industrial
lied or cooperative agriculture.
Farming as way of life is
threatened. This transition chal-
lenges long-accepted national
ideals of the farmer on his own
land. If our national agricul-
ture faces the same cycle that
changed the form of industry
from 1870 to 1890, the problem
should be fully recognized, if it
is to be checked and revised.
New patterns of security and
opportunity that preserve the
native values of our traditional
system must be provided for those
who are about to be displaced.
For them there must be some
alternative protection, in har-
mony with democratic methods,
from the harsh workings of COM
petition in a crowded labor mar
ket. The Nation faces again, as
at the time of the Homestead
Act in 1862 and the inquiry of
the Commission on Country Life
in 1909, the periodical necessity
Of restating our national ideals
Of the place of agricultural work
ers in society.

The opening bid of two hearts
with the South hand is slightly pref
cradle to one heart since. even
though the high card value is but
II, the hand represents practically a
sure game by itself. However. an
opening bid of four hearts would be
very bad since South's hand shows
distinct slam possibilities and there
is no point in crowding the bidding.
Norths three-club response is OBJ
viously best with his hand, and then
South's jump to four hearts would
show that his opening two-bid was
baseC more on tremendous heart
suit than on a plethora of high
cards. North would then jump to
five no trump, thereby leaving the
choice of the final contract with
South.
In actuality the best final con-
tract would be six no trump played
by North, and many players with the
North hand might continue on to
that contract after South's bid of six
hearts.
