none of your simoons, typhoons, or
similar phenomena which have been
used by lesser men in making
movies.
He has introduced something new
in the form of hand-to-tentacle
battle between his hero and a giant
squid. The giant squid, an under
sea thing which is worse than it
sounds, has the advantage over the
hero of not merely size but of fight
ing on his home field, a place many
fathoms deep in the Atlantic. To
tell you how it comes out would be
revealing nothing you won't guess
in advance, but it Is more abrupt
just to say that it is a dramatic bit
of undersea photography the like
of which you never saw before.

The De Mile formula was never
better applied.
Followers of popular fiction will
recognize instantly that Reap the
Wild Wind" is De Miles interpreta-
ton of Thelma Strabel's novel of
the same name. Its time is 1840
when the Florida keys were infested
with pirates instead of playboys,
when the sock Of fist on jaw was
q savage music in the delicate ears
of debutantes, and when judicial
procedure was as informal as a
wiener roast. 1t is a natural setting
for romance on that big man
againSt-the- scale, the littler
one of man vs. man for the heart of
the tempestuous girl, with side for
ays into humor as represented by
droll old bankers, fluttery colored
servants, and those other elements
which De Mile must have if it takes
two hours-which it does.
De Miles players in Reap the
Wild Wind" collection calculated
to stun you, are kept going at the
masters regular speed, which al
ways has been terrific. There is
never a moment in which there is
not action, and there never is an
action in which some one is not in
danger of having a neck or a heart,
at least, broken. That facet of the
De Mile formula has an admirable
tendency to carry you over the
acute feeling that some of the
things that are happening would
look pretty banal otherwise.

1t means that in the higher In

equivalent of a top limit on an in

1t means that we must recapture

eminent under the AAA program,
allocable to the particular COM
modify. For it is unfair to give
farmer parity price and, in addi-
ton, to pay him benefits which will
give him far more than parity.
I have confidence that the Amer
lean farmer who has been doing so
much in the battle of production of
food, will do as much in this strug-
gle against economic forces which
make for the disaster of initiation:
for nobody knows better than the
farmer what happens when infa-
tionary, wartime booms are permit
ted to become postwar panics.
With respect to point seven of the
program of April 27, 1912, we have
made certain credit rulings designed
to curtail unnecessary buying, and
whatever else has to be done along
these lines will be done.
With respect to point six, ration
ing Is now in effect on some COM
modities, and, when necessary, will
be extended to others.
Tax Bill Not Yet Ready.
But with respect to point one-a
fair tax program-that still waits
upon the Congress to act.
One of the most powerful weapons
in our fight to stabilize living costs
Is taxation. 1t is powerful weapon
because it reduces the competition
for consumers goods-especially
scarce foods.
The cooperation and self-restraint
OF the whole Nation will be required
to stabilize the cost of living. The
stabiliZation of the cost of living
cannot be maintained without heavy
taxes on every one except persons
with very low incomes.
With such increases in the tar
load, unfair tax distribution becomes
less and less tolerable. We can right.
fully expect the fullest corporation
and self restraint only if the tax
burden is being fairly levied ir
accordance with ability to pay.
This means that we must elimi-
nate the tax exemption of interes
on State and local securities, and

The time is soon coming when in

women and grown young people.
feel certain the Nation will CO.
operate Fundamentally.
1t not only would be unfair to
labor to stabilize wages and do
nothing about the cost of food; it
would be equally unfair to the
farmer. For we must all remember
that the farmers wife buys many
articles of food at the store for the
use of her own family, and high
prices hurt her pocketbook as much
as that of the city housewife.
What is needed, therefore, is an
overall stabilization of prices, SAL
aries, wages and profits. That is
necessary to the continued produc-
ton of planes and tanks and ships
and guns at the present constantly
increasing rate.
We cannot hold the actual cost of
food and clothing down to approx
mately the present level beyond
October l. But no one can give
any assurances that the cost of
living can be held down after that
date.
Therefore, ask the Congress to
pass legislation under which the
President would be specifically au-
thorized to stabilize the cost of liv-
ing, including the price of all farm
| commodities. The purpose should
be to hold farm prices at parity or
at levels of recent date, whichever
is higher.
Asks Action by October 1.
I ask the Congress to take this
action by the first of October. In
action on your part by that date will
leave me with an unacceptable re-
sponsibility to the people of this
country to see to it that the war
effort is no longer imperiled by
threat of economic chaos.
In the event that the Congress
should fail to act, and act ade-
quate.y, shall accept the response
bility, and will act.
AT the same time that farm prices
are stabilized, wages can and will be
stabilized also. This 1 will do.
The President has the powers,
under the Constitution and under
congressional acts, to take measures
necessary to avert a disaster which
would interfere with the winning of
the war.
I have given the most thoughtful
consideration to meeting this issue
without further reference to the
Congress. I have determined, how
ever, on this vital matter to con-
suit with the Congress.
There may be those who will say
that, If the situation is as grave
as I have stated it to be, I should
use my powers and act now I can
only say that I have approached
this problem from every angle and
that I have decided that the course
of conduct which I am following
in this case is consistent with my
sense of responsibility as President

 Efforts to keep the country,s 2O,- GOO auto graveyards as active pro- ducers of scrap metal are bringing results. It is interesting to note that the tonnage turned out in the months of April and May combined in equivalent to the total tonnage inyentory-that is the whole grave yard population of unusuable cars- revealed in survey of auto grave yards last February"
 Figures compiled by Herbert F. Denner, New England Regional rep resentative of the automobile grave yard section, show that more than 3l ,000tons of scrap iron and steel enough to build battleship-were shipped from the secion's grave yards from March to June 1. Con- necticut supplied 6403 tons of scrap during this period, a little more than half as much as was supplied by Massachusetts, but more than four times as much as was supplied by any other New England State.
 In addition to iron and steel scrap, automobile graveyards also salvaged large amounts of other crttically-needed metals, such as copper and aluminium, in addition to rubber.
