Darkest Before DawnOne need not be Pollyannaish to

remark, of the current agriculturalsituation, that it is always darkestjust before the dawn. It may be som our case.

Take, for example, the current ef-forts which are being made to raiseagricultural prices. They may not beimmediately effective, may even failin the long run. yet they have ac-complished definite and worthwhileresults and bid fair to accomplish

more.The first evidence of this comes In

the slightly improved prices for cer-tain farm products. They are notwhat they were in July, it Is true, butthe inflation bug was active then.It is more wary now.

The second evidence. Important tothis area, will come soon with dis-tribution of the wheat allotmentchecks. They will be potent remind-

ers that the government has not for-gotten the farmer. Even the mostrynleal will sec in them concrete evi-dence of interest. There will be oth-ers. for this region will share, if onlyto a small extent, in the benefits ofthe corn-hog control program andthe compensating tax on beef cattle,the most hard pressed major industryin this region.

But the big benefits, if the thing

works out according to schedule, areyet to come. When production isscaled down to consumption we willhave opportunity to see in actionthat magic economic law about whichspouters long have gone into spasms.We may yet see the time when thefanner will get more for 50 bushelsof wheat than he used to get for 100and when—which is more to thepoint—every farmer will have 50

{ibushels of wheat to sell.

But the whole thing takes time.The situation which we now face isthe accumulation of years. It hasc ome upon us slowly and. conversely,

we can expect to climb out only

slowly.The primary reason for this lack

of speed lies in the very nature offarming operations. With the ex-ception of alfalfa, the farmer raisesonly one crop on a given piece ofland during a year. In the languageof business, his turnover is slow.

This is not true of most manufac-turers, for example the makers of.''hoes. Their output may be adjusted

much more easily. Prom raw leatherto the wearer's foot may be only amatter of weeks.

Por this reason the National Re-covery Act has operated to help la-bor much more directly and morerapidly than the Agricultural Ad-justment Act has helped the farmer.That is the basis for the present com-plaint. There is no question that itis justified, although the atmos-phere probably will be more cheerfulafter those allotment checks havecome in.

The only course suggested by pres-ent critics of the government's activi-ties is direct inflation, a doubtfulremedy. It has never worked wellfor the farmer In the nations whereit has been tried and this countrywould hardly prove an exception. Atany rate, it does not seem now thatwe are going to have it. The presi-dent’s gold manipulations have takenthe edge off the currency inflationdemand since it is. in a way, a directmeans of inflation and satisfies manypowerful interests demanding moremoney in circulation and a raising of

the price level.What is there left for the farmer

to do? He may join the strike move-ment, as some are doing, or he mayjoin others who prefer to stringalong with tbs government. Of thetwo courses, the latter would seem to

*

be the best bet.

* Bigger But Not BetterFor some quaint reason the words

"bigger and better” go well togetherin the American vocabulary, eventhough a thing la not necessarily bet-ter because it is bigger. Take boils,for instance.

Another splendid example la theGraf Zeppelin, Germany’s great dir-igible, which has just completed aflight across the South Atlantic andU 9 to Chicago as a matter of course.

No one knows what sort of weatherthe ship encountered before It reachedthe United States, but over Ohio itrode out the severest storm of thecurrent autumn, with the wind blow-ing W miles an hour.

In the* same conditions and over

the same state which marked thewreck of the Shenandoah, the Grafproved perfectly airworthy. Manytimes, It seems reasonable, she hascome safely through disturbancessuch as that which accounted for the111-fated Akron.

Those great ships have written,pages of tragic history. The Graf, asmaller craft, still sails bravely on.

The answer to it may be not “big-ger and better” but “better and bet-ter.”

A Sensible ViewRepresentatives of those five mid-

western states which met at DesMoines took a sensible view of an ap-proaching problem when they rec-ommended that state liquor taxes bekept down to prevent bootlegging.

Their wisdom lies in appreciatingthe fact that illicit sales of alcoholicbeverages may be promoted by highcost as well as by prohibition.

It is one thing to permit the coun-try to become swamped by cheap li-quor. It is quite another to makeliquor cheap enough for all to buybut to surround It with safeguardsagainst abuse.

With cheap liquor, under strictcontrol, there will be little room forthe bootlegger. The competition oflegitimate spirits will drive him outof business by stealing his market.Those few who, by reason of theirabuse, may be barred from the pur-chase of legal liquor, will be too fewand too far apart to offer much of afield for exploitation.

No Time for TemperGeneral Hugh Johnson, that en-

ergetic man, makes something of anass of himself in his current quarrelwith the Ford Motor company.

One need not go into the meritsof the dispute to prove the point. Heneed only scan General Johnson'sconduct in the matter and his ex-pressions on the subject.

In statements Friday, the generalmade It clear enough that he is out“to get” the Ford company. Theyhave not danced to his music and sohe would adopt the time-honored ex-pedient of shooting at their feet tomake them jump.

To say the least, the general hasnot acted very temperately. He hasindulged himself in a fit of temperin a matter too Important to behandled by injudicious methods.

As the Ford company declares, inironic rejoinder, his "vocabulary hascut him down again.”

The Retail Code(N. Y. World-Telegram)

None of the parties in the long andbitter dispute over the NBA retailcode is entirely pleased with the codeas finally signed by the president.But it was impossible for the admin-istration to satisfy the conflicting in-terests. Those conflicts are real—asbetween the large merchant andsmall, the chain store and the inde-pendent. the merchant and the man-ufacturer, the city and the rural com-munities, tne seller and the buyer.

Inevitably the resulting code is acompromise. On the surface it ap-pears to be about as far a compro-mise as could have been worked outIf not, time will demonstrate its un-fairness. It is put forward as a tem-porary expedient for three months.On or before February l a representa-tive and responsible committee willreport on its operation and submitrecommendations for changes.

Had the president accepted theoriginal code provision banning salesfor less than cost plus ten per cent,It would have put a heavy load onconsumers before their purchasingpower was lully restored and it mightalso have destroyed just competition.

On the other hand, if the presidenthad subjected rural stores to the samecode provisions as the larger estab.lishments it doubtless would havekilled many small businesses almostovernight.

Such practical considerations ex-plain in large part the code com-promise, which now merely prohibitsretail sale at less than invoice costplus a portion of wages paid by theretailer, except in the case of bona-fide clearances, perishable merchan-dise, damaged goods and discontinuedlines. Likewise it explains the ex-emption from the code of stores em-ploying fewer than five persons intowns of 2,500 population and less.

Clearly the NRA could have pro-duced a better code If its sole taskhad been to wipe out maladjustmentsand inefficiencies in our wastefuldistributing system, thus protectingthe consumer by encouraging only themost efficient form of retailing.

But the Immediate practical prob-lem was not so simple. To havebankrupted thousands of stores andto have thrown their employes on the

, streets would not have solved theproblem of re-employment and in*creased purchasing power.

This retail code and Its paradoxesare typical in greater or lesser de-gree of virtually all of the problemsInherent In administration of theNew Deal, whether represented in asingle code or in the general effortto keep wage increases and price In-creases balancing each other. It isthe same conflict which is constantlyoccurring between the NRA and AAAand, between the Interests of pro-ducers and consumers within both theNRA and AAA.

Stated another way, it is the inev-itable conflict between the needs oflong-range planning or basic reformvs. emergency demands.

THIS WISTFUL LOOKING BACK-WARD

Youth is a blunder; manhood astruggle; old age a regret, said Dis-raeli in one mood, and in another thesame famous maker observed that al-most everything that is great hasbeen done by youth. Another notedwriter of Disraeli's time who told theworld the pen is mightier than thesword bade blundering youth andstruggling manhood cheer up, for inthe lexicon of youth there is no suchword as “fail.” I shouldn’t wonder ifmy own pet poet Aleck fope didn’tget off a neat one on the subject, butwhat’s the use? The way one looksat youth depends mainly on the stateof one’s arteries, and no amount ofpoetizing or metaphor making canremove the question from the field ofphysiology.

Rejuvenation is the bunk so far asany magic nostrum, gland hocus-po-cus or mail-order surgery is concern-ed. But if one can free one’s mindfrom the poetry, romance and mysteryinspired by the miracle merchantsthere are some things which oneshould know and do and some thingsone should avoid in order to stayyoung. I refer to sound principles ofphysiology and hygiene, and not toany silly twaddle about smiling whenyou're in no condition to smile or bepleased with yourself.

A symbol which has become popu-lar tho It Is Incorrect is TB whichreally means tubercle bacilli but tothe laity means tuberculosis. In med-ical parlance there is another sym-bol, CVD which means cardiovascu-lar disease or degeneration—that; is,heart and artery disease. This in-cludes many cases of slow heart fail-ure (myocarditis, angina pectoris),apoplexy (cerebral hemorrhage, strokeor shock of paralysis) and chronicnephritis (Bright's disease). CVDnow terminates more lives than doestuberculosis itself. People are learn-ing how to avoid or prevent tubercu-losis-learning In spite of our populareducation system. People are notlearning how to avoid CVD. for thisis more a question of personal health,individual knowledge and habits. MostIndividuals take neither interest innor any steps to combat prematureold age or "breakdown” until theyare pretty far gone. Now I believesincerely that a man or woman whoIs Just “a bit stale” can come back,but I do not mean to suggest thatthere is any hope for habitual of-fenders who repent and cry for suc-cor when they are overtaken by thecold gradations of decay.

Symptom hunters who prick up theirears and pay close attention here mayas well turn to the funny pictures.We have a lot of youngish readerswhom we want to keep young, andfor their sake we are quite finicalabout mentioning symptoms. Besides,there are no particular symptomswhich spell staleness or prematureold age or anything like that. Symp-toms are properly complaints the pa-tient makes to his doctor, not sug-gestions the doctor gives to the pa-tient.

Degeneration is a word that ratheralarms the layman because his inter-pretation Is different from the inter-pretation of the physician. In themedical mind Itmeans merely a wear-ing down, a downgrade change, as

contrasted with the building up orupgrade change of youth and adultlife. Regeneration is a reversal of thedowngrade changes, such as Ibelievestill possible for those who have gonestale. In a talk to follow we’ll con-sider this in more detail.

probably could reach an agreement

with employes and asked three hoursmore. By 4:30 they had consented to

reinstatment of strikers, a collectivebargaining agreement, and subsequent

LITVINOV IS CANNYThey tell this story to illustrate the

CRUtious training instincts of theforthright Maxim Litvinov, who soonwUI be here to discuss Russian recog-

nition with President Roosevelt:At Riga in 1921 He was negotiating

entry of an American relief expedi-tion to Russia. The Soviet, still sus-picious and fearflil of Interventions,said American representatives mustbring no weapons. Litvinov was toldthey would bring only food.

“Veil,” he exclaimed, “but food eesa veppon.”

This conference will be held undermore pleasant auspices.

What’s Cost of Producing Wheat?... Take Yonr Own Guess.

By RODNEY BUTCHERTribune Washington Correspondent

Washington, Oct. 28.—Although itresembles.* small skiff trying to car-ry the cargo tonnage of a hugefreighter, the National Labor Boardproceeds steadily as an Instrument forthe unionization of labor.

Its small staff operates in a mad-house reminiscent of NRA itself inearlier days. Senator Robert Wagner,the chairman, is fagged badly.

To deal with the epidemic of strikes,a score or more regional boards arebeing appointed rapidly—a nationalnetwork of mediatory machinery tohave primary jurisdiction over labordisputes. Each board is being organ-ized like the NLB, with"six to 10 mem-bers equally representinglndustry andlabor, plus an impartial chairman.

In practice, the NLB has been anenforcement agency for the collec-tive bargaining and employe repre-sentation clauses of, the recovery act.When disputes over union recogni-tion arise, it asks for free employeeelections. In only a very few smallmills have workers voted nonunion.

The inside story of the settlementof the Westinghouse strike in westernMassachusetts illustrates Wagner’sdetermination to enforce the law. At11:15 a. m. Wagner gave the com-pany’s president and attorney a 45-minute ultimatum to reach an agree-

WHAT COST WHEAT?The chief trouble about guarantee-

ing farmers their cost of productionis the difficulty of ascertaining costs,which is partly due to the great varia-bility on different farms.

Hie Department of Agriculture ex-perts have figured that the averagecost of producing a bushel of wheatlast year was 72 cents, a bushel ofcom about 34 cents, and a pound ofcotton around nine cents.

President John Simpson of theFarmers’ Union says the cost of pro-ducing a bushel of wheat is $1.50 andthe Farm Holiday association de-mands put it at $1.35, with othercosts varying in proportion.

All those figures ignore differencesin efficiency and other factors. Thefarmer with 100 acres, for instance,can raise cheaper wheat per bushelthan the farmer with 10 acres.

Averages don’t mean much. If theaverage cost were used in a guaranteeplan, hundreds of thousands of farm-

WHAT HAS HAPPENEDSO FAR.

Joan Hastings and h«r sweet-heart, Bill Martin, are separatedwhen her stern aunt, Ewie VanFleet, learns of the romance and¦ends Joan away to school with-out seeing Bill.

“Absurd! Joan, you’re puttingme off again. You’re not givingme a chance to talk. Every timeI’ve seen you, you’ve done just thesame thing—-high-hatted me—-changed the subject—”

“Then can’t you see it’s distaste-ful to me—can’t you see I don’twant to talk to you—”

"No—Joan, it was all a mistake,all a miserable mistake, and I won’trest tillI make itright, or as rightas I can. I’m going to make youlisten—”

Joan leaned against the tablewatching him, cold and motionlessas a lump of ice.

“I doirt know where to begin,”he burst out at last. "Joan, I hadto see you. I couldn't go on thisway—” He nroke off and pointedto the closed door to Maisie’s room."Is there anyone there?”
