By what kind of imagination does
Mr.. Leach see the defeat of America

to the curbs, delays, and slow downs
of industry due to the international

1t would have been easier to credit
the author with a sincere interest in

of pointing out only the dark side Of
the Democratic processes he had
pointed out how to speed up the job
of training for home defense.

INITIATION MEANS
CONSUMPTION
OF CAPITAL

(This is the second In series of
articles on Monetary control by
ex-Congressman Charles G. Binder
up from Nebraska)
If we cannot have monetary control
and must go to one extreme, then for
the sake of humanity, give us infla-
ton.
After all initiation is merely and
only CONSUMPTION of capital, that is
all, 1t reduces the purchasing power
of the dollar, it takes FROM the rich
and gives to the poor by increasing
wages and products YOU reduce the
purchasing power of the dollar. But
after all in case OF WAR why not,
our congress conscripted the life of
the boys into the trenches when they
passed the Senator Burke peacetime
conscription bill without batting an
eye. Is it not less inhuman to con-
script the dollar or shall be just con-
script the boys and consider the dollar
more holy than life? When the boys
came home from the last World War
No. l there wasn't a Chinaman's
chance for job or starting in bust
ness. Why? Because the bankers
had created period of Deflation so
their dollars and interest had a great
err purchasing power. This time when
the boys come home let's give them
a little Initiation, at least let US not
create another deflation.
1t is ridiculous to hear the unin-
formed cry about the horrors of In
flation, and usually coupled with the
remark well Initiation MIGHT not be
so bad, but the period that follows
initiation is terrible"
There is no relation between infla-
ton and deflation. The one is not a
result of the other. One would think
from these strange remarks that our
money just evaporated after period
of initiation and that it just couldn't
be helped.
system taking our money away from
us, no, not accidently but Intention
ally and premeditatedly according to
a definite plan. You can't put money
into circulation and avoid initiation "a
higher price level, and you cant take
money out of circulation and avoid
deflation "a lower price leveD. So
just leave the money in circulation
and add enough more money every
year to keep up with Increased popu
ation and increased business and
your price level will remain the same,
but you will meet opposition to this
righteous plan from the money group,
the 40, as they want a dollar that
fluctuates In value so they can In
crease our money supply at will and
make prices so high when they sell
and then take cur money out of cir
;ulation and make prices come down
when they would buy. There isn't
'oul in the world that can produce

he gave the farmers for producing
more under a shortage of help and
machinery gave every farmer a thrill
of pride in his calling His main
topic was the change that has come
over the spirit Of the upper classes
in Britain. 1t may be, he said, a
deathbed repentance, but again and
again he heard from the Industrial
barons and business men the insist
ent thought that, In the world which
is to be, after this war, the people
must have food, clothing and shelter
and the incomes, already more evenly
distributed, must be spread out to
better and finer parity for all. The
British, which Napoleon scornfully
called "a nation Of shop-keepers"
profits as the chief aim of life-and
that is the miracle that war has
wrought.
He saw the United States moving
in that direction, too, and found it's
echo in the cooperative idea as
stressed by the Farmers Union, which
he said, both as in its leaders and
it's members, were held In affection
ate regard by President Roosevelt,
Vice President Wallace and the fed
eral officials with whom the Farmers
Union leaders have been in contact.
That was not offered as a boquet-
it was spoken in matter-of-fact way,
as though everybody knew 1t. It gave
a lift to the men out here on the front

The current Hollywood success

Club until he got an idea for a screel
story with an unusual twist ant
dropped everything else for fiv,
months to write 1t himself
Holmes, who had never written any
thing for publication in his life, SOLD
the story, Bundles for Freedom, tt
RKO, for a reported 100000. That is
big money for what Hollywood calls
an original story written specially
for pictures and never published.
1t wasn't snapped up ON sight
either. Holmes lived through the old
Hollywood saga of genius crying its
wares to the deaf ears Of the geniuses
who got inside first.
The tennis court manager did find
a friendly ear in Billy Wilder, writer
and director who plays tennis and
who first encouraged him to develop
the story idea. ct was about a big
shot gambler crashing one of the

When the story had developed in
detail Wilder gave Holmes and his
an enthusiastic introduce
ton to an important agent.
The agent promised to read the
story, turned 1t over to one of his
associates, and forgot about it. The
associate read few pages and forgot
about it. Holmes went around but
tonholing people and telling them
about the story. He buttonholed Cary
Grant, who listened kindly and told
the amateur author to bring him a
copy of the story. But the agent had
the only copy. Holmes argued until
the agency made copies and sent them
around.
Everybody Liked 1t But the Blgshots
Studio readers at Paramount, MGM,
Fox and other lots made enthusiastic
reports on the unusual possibilities
n the newcomers yarn, and fndivid-
lal producers agreed that 1t was in
eresting and in fresh vein. Several |
studios queried the agent on price,
,ut the agent had set no price. 1t |
vas all very vague.

ided it was story for him. 1t was

success of the Popular Front"
That Fascist explanation Of the fall
of France that the defeat came be-
cause of the modest reforms contem-
plated by the Popular Front needed
no restatement.
The author could just as well have
included as a cause the fear of NJ.
Bonnet and Daladier that the Popular
Front would succeed with it's reforms.
Chamberlain and Daladier while pos
sibly not treacherous at least feared
the leftist trend more than they
feared Hitler defeat at Munich.

Paul Appleby Spoke.
All Glasses Present.
Waited in Silence.
Britain Is Changed.
Affectionate Regard.

The biggest little meeting ever tc
be held in st. Paul, was that spon
sored by the Farmers Union Grain
Terminal Association and held on
Thursday evening May %, at the St
Paul Athletic Club. 1t wasn't Sc
small, either, for about $50 persons
were present-but it was small in
comparison to the annual meetings
held by farmers when they gather as
stockholders in the various business
activities of cooperative marketing.
The occasion was a dinner given in
honor of Hon. Paul H. Appleby, under
secretary of agriculture, who having
returned ten days ago from an ex-
tended visit in Great Britain, was able
to give an inside picture of life as it
goes on in that war battered land. 1t
was not a story such as is found in
our daily press, in fact in many points
it quite contradicted some of the i'm
pressions received from the printed
page.
The setting of the speech is worth
knowing Every group and class was
represented in the audience =" mer-
chant, lawyer, doctor chief as the
old rhyme goes. 1t was as Mr..
Thatcher said when he introduced the
speaker: "This is typical American
cross section of the ma
ton" Every religion was represented
and every shade of political and eco
thought. There were state
and city officials, government work
ers, and a large body of farmers,
many of whom were In town to at

Excerpt from The New Republic
June 1. 1912

Montana-Sen. Burotn K Wheele
has devoted more time to campaign
ing In Montana In the last month thai
in the last decade. All this energ,
on the part of the No. 1 isolationis
is aimed at purge of the Presidents
staunch supporter, Sen. Jim Murray
Iwho is up for reelection.
Wheeler has been in the senate
continuously for twenty years, and for
ten Of them he has had practically
the absolute say-so about who held
office In Montana. In recent years,
the Anaconda Copper company has
been helping him, with or without his
request. Montana politicians have a
theory that Wheeler and the copper
boys have reached some understand
ing whereby Wheeler gets the kind of
lyes-men he wants around Washington
and the company gets the kind of
halter broken governors and state Of
ficials 1t wants in Montana.
There are indications that this is
the way things have worked out in
the past, even when 1t was necessary
for Wheeler to cross party lines and
manipulate republican as well as dem
ocratic candidates to get the results
he wanted. Recently Wheeler, nomi-
nally democrat, has had big hand
In electing at least three republicans
to the highest offices in Montana
two members of congress and one
governor. Wheeler backed the fas-
cistic DR.. Jake Thorkelson, republi-
can, when he wanted to GUST his
former friend Jerry O'Connell from
the house. 1t was his support that
helped elect Jeanette Rankin, repub-
lican, instead of O'Connell, who won
the democratic nomination again in
the last election. In 1910, Wheeler
once more turned the trick for the
republican ticket by throwing his sup
port to S. Clarence Ford in opposition
to the incumbent democratic governor
who had aroused Wheeler's anger.
Wheeler has been able to perform
these feats largely by being able to
control the slate of candidates filing
in the democratic primaries. During
his recent campaign tour through
Wheeler canvassed every
potential candidate and invaded the |
ranks of the opposition group within |
The party wholly without success.
Every responsible minor leader has
been approached with the bait of win
ling Wheeler's favor If he would file

For months Wheeler has been pay

Tor from Montana. This lordly atten-
ion has so befuddled O'Connor that

Florida's Paradise for Parrots

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 10-A. F. Scherr
imported monkeys and alligators for his
parrot jungle SC the birds would feel at
home, but he cid the job so we'll the
parrots quit talking.
Eve made things too natural for
them" Scherr explains.
Parrots dom talk when they are
away from humans and don't have to
perform in return for food and other
things they want. So we had to start
requiring ours 10 say something before
we would give them nuts, grapes and
other tidbits they like"
Scherr, who plt some 600 parrots and
other tropical birds on densely-wooded
tract and opened the parrot jungle as
tourist attraction, says age is the biggest
factor in teaching them to talk
1--WE never seen parrot unable to
talk if you started teaching it young
enough" he says. "You ought to start
when they are about eight months old
Parrots sometimes live to be quite old
and If you get one of Is years or more
you'll have tough time with it.
Teaching them to talk Is all matter
Of repitition and OF keeping them away
from distractions while they're learning.
That's why we frequently put black
cloth over a cage and talk to the bird
through it.
