Kent's regulation has prevented any attempts of that sort and also has served to correct other abuses. One order had to do with Brazil's regulation of gold exports. That na- tion permitted shipment of gold to London but embargoed exports to the United States. Kent immediately di- rected that no gold be shipped to 20) Brazil until she permits a two-way movement. That seems fair enough. ‘The tragic part of the foreign ex- change situation is that many Amer- icans would attempt to profit by any weakness in this country if given the chance, even though it might mean 50 | calamity and distress to many per- Disaster The sea-air tragedy which claimed the lives of 73 brave American fight- ing men early Tuesday shocked the nation. It also called into question the pol- icy of building huge dirigibles. Value of lighter than air craft was demonstrated during the world war by Germany, whose sky raiders show- ered death and destruction upon Lon- don and other points in England. They were more effective as instru- ments of terrorism than of destruc- tion but they did much to weaken the morale of the English people. At the close of the war we receiv- ed, as a part of the peace settlement, one of the great German dirigibles then building, and that started us on the road which has led to the destruc- tion of the Shenandoah in Ohio and now of the Akron. If they will work at all, these craft are of especial value to America in de- fense of our shores; much more so than to any other nation with a short- er seacoast to defend. They can stay aloft indefinitely, have a wide cruis- ing range and can serve as the eyes of the fleet to better advantage than airplanes in many cases. Receipt of the German ship turned American ingenuity to the problem of building other vessels of a similar na- ture. And true to @ national tend- ency, the urge was not only for bet- ter but bigger dirigibles. ‘The result was the Shenandoah and still later the Akron, both of which have proved shrouds for the men who manned them. The question now presented is whether a ship of this type may not be constructed on too collosal a scale; whether extreme size may not in it- self prove an insuperable handicap, A sister ship to the Akron, christen- ed the Macon, is about to be commis- sioned for naval service. Even with the loss recorded Tuesday we shall have the biggest aircraft in existence. If size is a necessity the Macon will fulfill our national ambitions. But it might be better to forget bigness, at least for a while, and try our hand at something smaller. Neighbors One notable aspect of the city elec- tion which reached a climax Tuesday was it cleanliness and lack of mud- slinging. : It was just a contest among neigh- bors to see which should be named to manage the affairs of our city and the campaign was conducted on that basis. And now that it is all over and the winners have been congratulated, the thing for all of us to do is to pull to- gether in the same spirit of friendli- ness for a bigger and better Bismarck. Election contests such as that which sons, Patriotism, it seems, is a rather weak and ineffective thing with a certain type of individual, Get Together Boys One of the phenomena which has attended consideration of the farm bill in congress is the apparent dis- agreement among the financial ex- Perts who dabble in the stock mar- ket and those others who play around the grain pits. At the same time that stocks of companies which depend on farm Prosperity for income have been ris- ing, grain speculators were selling wheat and other futures because of impending disaster. Stocks of farm firms rose because of Wall Street's belief that the new legislation will put some money back in America’s rural areas. Grain pit prices fell because of the fact that the farm bill would “ruin” the American farmer. The two attitudes do not jibe. The only adequate explanation, barring the quaint idea that business men buy or sell for fun, is that the interests of firms selling to the farmer are pretty much identical with his; that the farmer must have money before he can exchange it for goods. On the other hand it may be that the interests of those who buy from the farmer are peculiarly their own. It doesn’t seem so from here, but, then there are a lot of things about the grain trade the average farmer and editor do not understand. It would be more comforting if the boys would get together and tell the} AH! AH! NAUGHTY—MUSTN'T [of serious same story.

Fred A. Simonsen of Detroit, presi- dent of the National Restaurant As- sociation, believes that it will. The popularity of certain dishes such as heavy meats, fish and cheese will increase, he believes, while fewer sweets will be sold. The man who sits down to lunch with a schooner of beer at his elbow is not apt to ask for a cream puff to go with it; a hot roast beef sandwich or a vast slab of cheese is more likely to be called for. For beer, as a general thing, demands a8 an accompaniment solid food and Plenty of it. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of th ey.
