(Official City, State and County Newspaper) The Radio Dilemma I Ss no more unfortunate thing could have happened in the realm of radio broadcasting than | to hdve the present unsettled state of affairs ob- | tain. = The failure of cong: to pass the Dill ra-! et ce stive other measures to properly regulate | the radio situation is a crying shame and one w ich | reflects no credit on that august body of original | broadéasters. And now, with Secretary of Commerce Hoover shori€of his power to regulate the air in the int ests of broadcasters and listeners alike, chaos deed 5potentially reigns in the air. Actually, how-! ever, it does not—yet. But consider that not more | than $30 commercial radio stations were operating | under licenses granted by Secretary Hoover while nearlg 600 applications for permission to operate | are on file in his department. SuBpose that even half of these 600 decide to pro- teed with the operation of a station, which they are free t do now, and to use any wave length and time that they please. Isn't it easy to imagine the babel that Would fill the The successful operation of millions of dollars worth of radio receivers would | be initpossible and the entertainment of millions of | persons spoiled, | This condition is only indicative, however, of the shortesightedness of congress throughout several | years now. Men interested in the expansion of ra- have been advocating that some passed that would better regu- Jate the radio situation. These men outlined the expansion possible in radio broadcasting. But con- gress, if it heard, above the clacking of its own tongues, at least gave no heed and we are today in a sit(ation which may lead to such conditions as to entirely spoil broadcasting. These 600 people who have applied for stations! are on their honor now. If they have the interests of the public at heart they will not go on the air and complicate affairs until some order is brought out of the present imbroglio. Optimists in Wall Street It takes very little to start a stampede in Wall Street. Leta man with sortie financial Tepatation give at a few tips on what a stock is going to do and the stock will do it, often becausa those who lis- ten hurry away to get in on the wave, thereby them. selves making the prediction come true. Thus, the other day a statement, quoting Thomas Cochran, of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., started a rush to buy a certain mbtor stock. Cochran is reported to have said that the stock should sell at 100 points higher than it was being quoted, and that ' the earnings this year should be at least $35 a share, | int prospects and the fine man- ywing to the bri agement of the company. Those who ‘heard the financial wizard rushed at | once to buy stocks, with the result that the motor stock jumped almost 25 points ini two days, But Cochran’s advice was not the first quoted on the general condition of motor ‘issues. The auto- mobile industry offers a pleasant outlook. Even in conservative quarters in Wall Strect there is op- timism. The attainment of a new record output of 4% million’cars and trucks for the United States and Canada this year is not without the bounds of Possibility. ‘ It’s Hard to Believe We are indebted to Miss Julia Wright Merrill of the American Library association for the surprise of our lives. Miss Merrill recently conducted a sur- vey of the world’s public library service, and dis- closes that in the matter of providing free reading the United States lags behind England, Czechoslo- vakia and Hawaii. It was found that these three countries have near- ly 100 per cent library service, contrasted with our 56 per cent. The figures mean that there ate 50 million people in this country, or.44 per cent of the total population | of the United States and Canada, without free li- brary service. In the rural districts only 17 per cent of the people have access to public, libraries. It is hard to believe. If some person without the statistics at hand had told us such a thing, we would | have refused to accept it as the truth. On the basis of this we begin to understand why crime, degener- | acy, illiteracy and ignorance have “not. been brought nearer under subjection. Bankers’ Foreign Loans Loans which have been made by American bank- jstated that he himself had caught it, and, pressed | inevitable diminution, many of which were-issued by cities in France for’ rehabilitation purposes. These bonds are a good in- vestment, not so much because of their intrinsic value, but because their issuance indicates the inten- tion of the municipalities to rebuild, and this indi- cates additional markets for American trage. There is no doubt that, despite recent setbacks, che economic rehabilitation of Europe is imminent | and the establishment of the countries of that con- tinent as among America’s best customers is a mat- | ter of the very near future. Stabilization of the French franc, for instance, will come just as soon as | the French debts to the United States and Great Britain are settled and France’s budget is balanced. | In the matter of foreign loans it is not possible to have a narrow or constricted viewpoint. We can- not look at today, or tomorrow, but at the distant future and we must have faith, that, with intelli- | gent financial help, the countries of the world can be put on a firm, basis for the economic advance- ment of everyor The ‘President jal Fish The Adirondack mountains are seething with aj great discussion, and one that is fraught with great ies. It will be remembered that President is now summering on Lake Osgood and the day he went fishing he came Home with a three-pound fish. Pressed for an explanation, he further, he stated that it was a pike. That started the argument, for it is contended that no pike could weigh such a few pounds, not even a baby, and that it must be a pickerel. Not that they despise pickerel. Dear me, no. The pickerel, | it seems, is really a gamier fish than the pike and is much more highly prized. Meanwhile the president, in his usual way, keeps on saying nothing. He caught the fish"and brought him home and enjoyed the sport, but it is doubtful | if he even cares whether it was a pickerel or a pike. As a matter of fact the president will never be a really good fisherman. He can’t lie fast, enough. They cut their hair. diet. They bob their skirts. But they hate to reduce expenses. They Big league reports indicate farmer boys make the best fielders, Editorial Comment Prophecy and Farm Relief (New York Times) Senator Cummins’ prediction that Mr. Coolidge will not b candidate for reelection boldly violates Hosea Biglow’s rule. “Nobody knows,” Mr. Cum- admits. He might have said that perhaps Mr. Coolidge himself didn’t know. “He will have had enough of it” by 1928, says his Iowa supporter on everything but farm relief. a personal ground. Obviously there are political scure or unemergent as yet, that may rise later. In any case, it would be blundering tactics for the president to declare himself tuo early, if he purpose to retire. Not too soon should he confess an intention that would add to the comparative neg- ligibility of a president whose patronage is exhaust- ed and the end of whose term draws near. Some of our strongest presidents have had to suffer that ‘Mr. Coolidge is not the man to invite trouble, Mr. Cummins’ insistence upon the resentment of western Republican, farmers because they haven't | 5, been blest with the Haugen plan of farm relief and be thought to imply that Mr. Coolidge, irrespective of his personal desires, would naturally shrink: from venturing into a presidential. campaign in which the Republican party would be scriously or hopelessly divided. So momentous and so magical would statu- tory farm relief be! On the day Mr. Cummins was | disposing of Mr. Coolidge’s future, wheat went up about 6 cents a bushel, cotton $3 a bale, cotton dare to go up though the cotton states re- fused to take the Haugen bait? The rain gods ; mocked the wisdom of the subsidy miracle-man, They {sent down too much rain and sent up the price of | cotton, To the Canadian wheat growers they have been stingy. The estimate of the 1926 crop is 73,000,000 bushels less than that of 1925. In 1925 the Canadian ‘rain gods kept down the price of American wheat. \Now they are shoving it up. What can farm bureaus (against the fatalism of nature?
