The Roosevelt administration
has made another advance in its
deliberate policy Of buttressing
the democrscies with methods
short of war" In a sense II
represents a more cooperative
move than the decision to sell
our latest type planes to the
Allies.
The headlines disclosed only
minor phase of the confidential
conversation between Russian
Ambassador Oumansky and Sec
rotary Hull. The request that
the administration lift the
moral embargo" it has imposed
against Moscow was compare
lively unimportant. What the
Soviet wanted was for WASH
ington TO use its good offices To
persuade the British to revoke
the blockade recently established
against American exports TO
Vladivostok. These consist of
materials unaffected by the dip
lomatic moralities because they
are not specifically listed as war
supplies. But they are of ut
most Importance to a nation at
war or pledged to give aid to
Hitler.
The Chamberlain government
maintains that these exports
eventually reach the Reich. To
shut them off and strangle Ger
many is the purpose of the new
Pacific blockade. Russia pos
sesses insufficient naval strength
to combat this enlightenment. To
Oumansky's request the secre-
tary of state returned a curt
negative. Even though it means
loss of growing commerce for
American industry, Stain re-
mains on the Anglo-American
blacklist.
The more astute New Dealers
are unobtrusively taking cog
nizance of the American peoples
shift of attitudes with respect
to the relationship between gov
eminent and industry. In pol
icies and personnel they are
catering to the new popular be-
lief that recovery will come
more swiftly with less official
harassment of private enter
prise. Business appears to be
crawling out of the dog house,
or at least pushing over to make
room for the politicians.
SEC Chairman Jerome Frank
is looking for an economic con-
sentative to fill the Matthews
vacancy financier of the
Johnnie Hanes type. Frank has
already revised his system of
examining security applications
so as to speed up the process.
Bankers have complained that
red tape resulted in delays which
made them miss the market"
The ICC-ers are casting about
for a well recognized railroad
expert for the Caskie post.
F. D. r. is resisting demands
for a new spend-lend program.
He has sidetracked proposed ex-
pansion of relief, social security
and AAA setups. Cabinet right
lists are again in favor so that
Tommie Corcoran has threat
ened to resign - may have by

The underlying cause is only
partially related to F. d. RS
interest in the foreign scene.

CoNNELL, in the center of the
~ high protein wheat belt of
Eastern Washington, provided
one of the Illuminating experi-
ences Of this years Adelphian
concert tour. The sign by the
side of the road at the edge of
town as we came from Spokane
said the population was 221.
Inside the town we didn't see
where there could be that many
persons, including women and
children. Worst of all there
didn't seem to be a place where
forty-two hungry people could
eat.
While the food problem was
being discussed, the Rev. Myron
Sherrard, pastor of the Metho-
dist church and CPS alumnus,
appeared with the announce
ment that we would have dinner
at the farm home of one of the
members of the church about
seven miles out.

town big enough to feed YOU"

bowls Of gravy and mashed
potatoes, salad and vegetables
and hot biscuits and cake and
coffee. And those Adelphisns
ate - though they had been
working In the fields all day.
That night for the concert
there was a fine audience in the
combination auditorium gym
nasium OF the Union school dis
trict. For the night the menu
bers of the chorus were scat
tered over an area about twenty
miles from town in each direc-
ton. 1t certainly gave the lads
and lasses from CPS a very COM
plete picture Of magnificent dis
tanees and wide open spaces.

That's the way they do-lsnd

While everybody was oh-ing and
ah-ing at the thought Of farm

he didn't have enough work to

to have about 100 acres more

FAULTS OF CAPITALISM

Editor, The Times: Mr.. Pear
sails idea of capitalism is TO kill
the cow If the butter gets rank.
Nylon, machines, or inventions
of any sort, all come within the
scope of progress. If We fail
to benefit from them, it is due
to msldistribution of their
value within" the capitalistic
system and not at all the fault
of capitalism as a whole.
AS for capitalism being fore
ed to infanticide In sheer pres
ervation, that is but an illusion
brought about by a miscon-
ception of its inner workings due
to an incomplete theorizing of
money. With whole world of
raw materials to draw from. lots
of machines and plenty OF will
TO operate them, all we need is
a suitable medium for the free
exchange of our labors with one
another, and we can proceed to
consume wealth to our hearts
content. Yes. we could also
create plenty of profit for
capitalism in the bargain and
like IL.
We must agree that. in this
civilized world. in order to
create wealth for ourselves we
must also create for the other
fellow. In fact. If we follow
the order Of things. the other
fellow comes first. The greater
his demand for wealth is. the
greater the wages for ourselves.
In that respect, therefor. profits
are but part in the cycle Of
production.
On the other hand. when
profits are retained in money
form, 1t is but 50 much inert
