New Dealers
Wink at High
Farm Prices
But Data Indicate Costs
Rise More Slowly
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON. March 4 -
W The way in which the Sem
ate New Dealers let the Bank
head bill slide through the other
day rs 10 ~ is another lndica-
ton that the plaster on the farm
price ceilings is quietly falling
with reluctant administration
consent.
All the New Dealers voted for
II even though IT revoked
main part of President RooSe-
NcltS executive order and will
boost farm prices by prohibiting
benefit payments from being
figured as part of farm income
In computing price ceilings.
Some administration price sta
tiSticianS have, nevertheless, pre-
pared official figures which will
he devastating 10 the current
farm price argument if they are
officially issued.
A CCORDING 10 these tables,
"a the cotton price was up 100
per cent from January, 1871. to
January. 1913, while the cost of
producing it was only % per
cent higher; hog prices up 113
per cent. cost up 25 per cent;
beef cattle price up as per cent,
cost up 20 per cent; eggs up 90
per cent, cost up 40 per cent.
Still no one has assured the
farmer what he really needs
help, machinery, fertilizer, and
gasoline
TO BRING greater price inha-
Il ton is not TO the interest of
the farmer or the worker.
Apparently, however. the poll
teal leaders of the labor and
farm blocs see only a temporary
advantage at hand and are UNI
able 10 take the long-range view.
A well-managed national econ
omy (the kind that ardent New
Dealers have longed for) seems
TO have been proved impossible
again by these experiences.
The theory of running every
thing from Washington has run
into the uncalculated human
aspect that a democratic govern
ment, obligated 10 maintain its
popularity. can never put prices
down or wages down but must
continually put them up and up.
What was proved theoretically
possible in the claSSroomS has
been proved politically impossible
in experience.
EEAR Of Congress among bu-
rcaucrats has spread 10 great
extremes.
After Harper Fowler. deputy
manpower director, had held a
press conference and told the
world that Congress would have
10 take the responsibility of
wrecking the McNutt program
because il cut his appropriations.
he apparently suffered a change
Of heart.
About 20 minutes later. he
called in some OF the newSmen
and wanted 10 have the state
ment Cancelled.
Unable 10 do this. he made Il
plain that he was speaking on
his own responsibility and not
on Paul V. McNutt's.
Mr.. Fowler's apprehenSions
contrast sharply with the atti-
tude of congressman toward Mr..
McNutt. whom they have called
just about everything they can
think Of. both publicly and
privately.
TNHE congressional drive 10
l. limit the size of the army is
dwlndling, as expected, and il
now seems certain nothing along
that line will be adopted.
Congress dare not put its
military judgment up against
the chief OF staff.
The army will be 100000.
Heavy drafting will proceed.

Wartime Regulations
Raise Court Income

Wartime regulations and the
Health Departments campaign
against insanitary restaurants are
credited with a "a per cent increase
in Municipal Court revenue from

compared to August last year.
The total amount collected ir
fines last month was sos, ,28424, COM

cases from the 5,l80 trials held q
year ago August.

lected S42,5141ss in fines, as con-
trasted to the $30,l93.15 during the

were held responsible for the in
crease in fines in the criminal divi-
sion of the court. Fines as high as

Sir Kingsley Wood, Chancellor
Of Britain S Exchequer, Dies
Was Credited With
Keeping Finance
On Even Keel
BY the Associated Press

! BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 21.-Sir Kings
ley Wood, g., chancellor of the
exchequer, died today.
The man who was credited largely
with keeping Britain's wartime
finance on an even keel died on the
eve of the anticipated announcement
of his ay-as-you-go plan for work.
ers' income tax
Sir Kingsley has served as chan
cellor of the exchequer under Prime
Minister Churchill since May IL,
1910, when he received the post in a
cabinet shake-up.
He previously had served as lord
privy seal and air minister.
On November 3, 1910, he was made
member of the war cabinet, but
was dropped from this inner circle
in February, 1912, in another shake
| up.
Wood was the son of a Wesleyan
minister. He began his political
career in 1911 as member of the
London County Council, equivalent
to city council in the United
States.
He had been a member of the
same constituency since 1918 and
in 1880 became chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Conservative and Unionist
Association-the Conservative party
Sir Kingsley's death was an
nounced in the House OF Commons.
/, The senior partner Of a London
law firm and a prominent insurance
executive during the early 20s, Sir
Kingsley also led the movement in
Britain which resulted in the es-
tablishment of the Ministry of
Health.
He was responsible for the taxa
ton program by which Britain
raised unprecedented amounts of
money to pay war costs while still
keeping the country in a sound
financial condition.

The Secretary said he received a

We've had the most cordial and
cooperative relations with the Brit
lsh treasury and with Sir Kingsley
personally" Mr.. Morgenthau de-
clared. II was greatly impressed
with his ability and sincerity. Last
year I had the pleasure of meeting
him in London, and I was impressed
with his frankness and personal

Russian Isolation
Danger in Europe,
Hoare Declares
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON. Sept. 21.-Sir Samue
Hoare, British Ambassador to Com
munist-hating Generalissimo Fran.
cisco Frances Spain. asserted yes
terday that the great danger t.
Europe after the war was not Rus
sian influence, but Russian isolation
In an address to Chelsea wal
workers. Sir Samuel, home for con.
situations after a recent meeting
with Franco, said:
I'm any stable Europe the greatest
of the Slav peoples. whose territories
possess vast resources and whose
achievements have amazed the
world. must take their rightful place
Communism, for all the claims
of some of its propagandists, is a
national and not an international
product
1T is brought about by internal
conditions. If you fear it, you should
so set your house in order that your
social and political conditions will
silence any demand for it's intro
duction."
Famine and Anarchy Great Dangers
Declaring that the two great dam
gers to better Europe were famine
and anarchy, Sir Samuel said that
unless these specters can be driven
away there is little hope for the
political recovery of Europe" He
said the third great need was liberty
and added that European civilization
could not live without it.
The British Ambassador made no
reference to Spain by name in his
speech.
He said there had been periods in
history when European liberty was
temporarily stif1ed and declared that
the tyranny produced by Naziism
and Fascism was the blackest of
these chapters.
Sooner or later the breath of
liberty always dissipates the en-
circling obscruity and revivifies the
life of Europe" he declared.
What particular course that spirit
will take in Italy, Germany or any
other country on the continent, Sir
Samuel said he could not say, for
political constitutions, social condl-
tions and economic needs will vary
between one European people and
another"
Broad Principles Uppermost.
"If we are wise he said, I'VE
shall accept these differences and
make no attempt to impose uni
formity upon a Europe that will
never accept it. What matters to
us are not details of constitutions
or differences of habits and. methods,
but rather the broad principles
without which civilized life is i'm
possible"
Sir Samuel declared that these
broad principles should be focused
upon the revival and maintenance
of human nature" in which the
police state" built up around state
ldolatry and racial bigotry has no
place
Just as I do not believe that any
human being, however excellent he
may be, can be safely intrusted with
absolute power" Sir Samuel said,
80 I am convinced that no state,
however intelligent and well mean
ing may be its officials, can safely
be allowed monopoly of power. I
share, therefore, the view of many
of my continental friends who wish
to. see a renaissance Of nen-state
activities in Europe ''&
