Below Pre-War Prices Data compiled by the Northwest Wancorporation show that wholesale } prices for important products in this area now are below those prevaliing “an January, 1914, six months befcie the outbreak of the world war. The same chart traces the average price of the same commodity as shown on a standard date in Jan- ; wary for the succeeding years down : to and including 1932. The first item on the list is cash wheat which, on the first Monday ‘in January, 1914, was selling for 87 1-8 cents at Minneapolis. By Jan- uary, 1917, it had jumped to $1.93 1-4 “and then came the three years until , 1920" when the price was pegged and. mo quotations were given. Backing, _ slowly downward, the price remained /\ above $1 until 1931, when the first ‘Monday in January showed it at .75. ‘The 1932 price was .72 1-4. ‘2 Figures for durum wheat show 83 a low of 69 in 1931 and 76 1-2 in 1932. Corn started in 1914 at 67, ran to @ high of $1.63 in 1918, stood at 69 in 1931 and reached a low of 39 in 1932. Oats began at 35 3-8 in 1914, were at 80 1-4 in 1918, at 29 in 1931 and 26 1-2 in 1932. Flax was $1.50 1-2 in 1914, reached. @ high of $4.79 1-2 in 1920, stood at $1.54 3-4 in 1931 and was at a low of $1.39 1-2 in 1932. Fat beef cattle were at $6.85 per 100 in 1914, reached a high of $12.25 4 in 1919, and a low of $5.50 in 1932. $ Lambs tell the same story, with $7.40 in 1914, $17.50 in 1920 and $5.75 lan 1932. ; Hogs brought $7.84 in 1914, $17.04 jin 1919 and $3.82 in 1932.

Floors, walls and roof are to be sheets of rolled steel, welded together, with synthetic fiber boards on the wall The exterior will be of asbestos tile. All in all, the house will be come- j thing entirely new under the sun. Furthermore, it will cost no more than an ordinary house. The potentialities of the thing are unlimited. Should such houses be built in quantity, the steel industry would be booming for many years to come. Just as the expansion of the auto industry provided the stimulus for our post-war prosperity, a vogue for steel homes might lift us entirely out of the present depression. Fast Freight Trains One of the ways in which the railroads plan to hit back at the mo- tor trucks which have taken so much business away from ‘them waa cited recently in Detroit by Julien L. Eys- mans, traffic vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad, who declared that much speedier freight train schedules are now being worked out. “Freight trains,” remarked Mr. Eysmans, “can be made to run on just as fast schedules as passenger trains, if sufficiently attractive: in- ducements to do s0 arise.” ‘His implication is that the job is going.to be done; and it sounds like an eminently sensible way of meet- ing the problem. Trucks have taken business from the railroads because, in many instances, they can move the freight from shipper toconsignee more rapidly. By matching their speed the railroads would overcome the trucks’ greatest advantage.

Dollar Diplomacy (New York World-Tclegram) ‘With commendable persistence the senate finance committee is sticking to the Johnson investigation of for- eign loans and concessions, despite efforts of the state department to | block the inquiry. |" There will be many foreign loans |and concessions in the future, with {the state department playing a part jin such deals. If the cause and na- ture of past abuses can be uncovered it will help in working out a more {effectiv system of governmental re- lationship to such semi-diplomatic commerce and finance. We do not profess to know what the exact relationship of the govern- ment should be to foreign loans. That will have to be worked out by experience. We agree with the grow- ing public opinion that the unauthor- ized power usurped by the state de- partment in passing upon private foreign loans has had vicious results. But we cannot agree with some critics, such as Senator Glass, that the solution is no governmental reg- ulation. The familiar assertion that there should be no connection between a private foreign loan and government be very pretty in theory. But it is a complete denial of the facts of experience, not only of the United States but of every other creditor nation. Even though it is not necessary to restrict foreign loans almost exclu- sively to diplomatic s, as in France, or to follow the old British practice of ear-marking foreign cred- its for special trade advantages or imperial favors, some connection is inevitable. For instance, if New York bankers float a loan for Japan’s South Man- churian railway—as often proposed— it might make thousands of American citizens in effect partners in Japan's conquest of Manchuria, and it would certainly influence American diplo- matic and naval policy. Similarly, as long as the Caribbean | is considered an “American lake” es-| sential to the security of the Panama Canal it is futile to talk about the Washington government's kecping its nose out of Colombian or Nicara. guan or other Central American pri- vate loans and concessions.

Carmichael’s Cookies for Kiddles, Carmichacl’s Cakes for| Choice Occasions), stood on his front porch and frowned across his wWell-mown lawn over to his bugless pink roses and sighed worrledly. Gray haired, healthy, clean shaven, excellently tatlored, in ap- pearance he resembled a banker— or thought that he did. His ambi. tion for 25 years since he bought his first small shop and stopped doing baking for the other fellow, had beed to look tike a banker, That, then, must have been so much to the good on this early Monday morning. Also, conscience clear, he had slept well, bad arisen, break- fasted satisfactorily, kissed his wife whom he loved devotedly, and had gone now—as far as the porch, at least—to a business that was thriving robustly at a time when many businesses were failing. Neither surfaces nor depths seemed to provide reason for Mr. Carmichael’s depression, Peace should have been dropping slow. ‘But, iad someone come inquiring as to the absence of the nine bean rows and the hive for the honeybee, he would have been told that Mr. Carmichee! had a disagreeable duty | wise,’ to perform.
