We Are on the Way President Roosevelt at last dis- closes the ultimate ends of his mone- tary program and the methods by which he hopes to achieve them. For months it has been clear that the president favors the commodity dollar, intended to prevent the fluc- tuation in prices which has been such @ handicap during these years of depression, The new steps pre- sented to congress are directed along that pathway and toward the goal of @ controlled inflation which is nec- essary if we are to restore the price Jevel which we once knew and on which many of our debts were con- tracted. The move to impound the gold in the federal reserve banks is fair enough, If the government can take the gold of individuals it clearly should have the right to take the gold of corporations and of minor government agencies, such as the reserve banks are in fact. ‘There may be violent disagreement with the program to deflate the dol- lar by 60 per cent. There is sound argument against so drastic a change. But there seems little doubt that the end will be achieved and there also is sound argument for it. Things rarely appear in sharp blacks and whites and such is the case with the present program. The decision here is between different shades of gray and few of us are capable of exercis- ing proper judgment. ‘We may do so with misgivings but the sound thing to do seems to trust the president a little further and let) him put his ideas into execution. Prophecies may be had in plenty, but only by pursuing the experiment to its conclusion can we be sure of the result. If it fails—as it easily may—those who oppose it will have the satisfac- tion of saying “I told you so,” and the problem will be to find a way out. If it succeeds—as is clearly possi- ble—we may be on a better and sounder basis than ever before in our history. For that reason, even those distrustful of the scheme will hope The Bismarck Tribune Jechools and other institutions of in- struction was handed to the state board of administration.

The change, if and when it comes, Probably would be an economy for the state. The teachers colleges now —Joffer, in addition to purely profes- sional instruction, the courses which are offered by junior colleges. To consolidate and concentrate the Professional instruction in a few Schools, permitting the others to de- vote themselves to general educa- tion, may be forced by two factors. One is the prevailing lack of demand for the services of many persons qualified as teachers, the other is the increasing demand for a general raising of the educational level. ‘The proposal might meet with op- Position from the state university and agricultural college, tax-sup- Ported institutions of higher learn- ing, on the ground that it would divert students from them for the first two years of a college course. ‘There might, also, be something of a contest between the various normal schools over their status under a rearrangement. ‘These obstacles may be overcome, however, by the pressure of boys and girls who find it cheaper and easier to attend schools near their homes and who yet do not wish to dedicate themselves to the teaching profes- ston. Meeting a Temporary Need Modification by NRA authorities of the auto code, to permit tempo- rary use of a 40-hour week instead jof the original 35-hour limit, looks like sensible way of meeting a ‘somewhat peculiar problem. Having employed many workers already under the 35-hour limit, the| industry temporarily needs more| ‘men, because of increased schedules. Raising the limit to 40 hours makes it unnecessary to hire more men just now. And that, in a land striving to create jobs, looks a bit funny. But it is a sensible move, just the same. Calling for more men right | now would draw a vast influx of job- Seekers to the auto centers. These! Jobs would be only temporary; pres- ently many men would lose their new Jobs and the dislocation of the labor| ‘supply would be worse than it is now, If these jobs were to be perma- nent, of course, it would be different. But they aren't. _ Editorial Comment. | Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. ‘They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, for its success. Few people are will- ing to cut off their nose to spite their face, The proposal to establish a two- Dillion dollar fund for the regulation and control of foreign exchange is merely an adoption of a device which England has been using ever since she went off the gold standard, It means government entry into the field of currency manipulation. The president and others feel it properiy belongs there and all the theoretical arguments favor the plan. The fact Zemains, however, that it is a new field for the United States govern- ment and that we have yet to show the skill which is needed for so deli- cate an operation. ‘The plan is unique in that it brings comfort to those who believe in the gold standard and, at the same time, tends to quiet the inflationists who think prosperity may be had by starting the printing presses on the pleasant job of making money. It may, in fact, be controlled inflation, something the world has never be- fore seen and which many believe to be impossible.

Whether the immediate possibilities are really as optimistic as some are inclined to believe is largely a matter of specula- tion. Yet, if the Soviet Government lives up to the assurances given at the time recognition was granted, there is every reason to look forward to an expanding trade development. This depends, however, upon Russia’s good faith and on improving world economic conditions and balance. Speaking before the American Chamber of Commerce of Germany recently, Leo Chintchuk, Soivet Am- bassador to Berlin, looking at the fu- ‘ure of American-Russian trade rela- tions sanguinely, made the point that there were two ways to speed up ben- efits, one or the other of which is vital: one is that of credit to Russia, and the other is that we must buy from Russia. The fact is that Soviet credit has not been any too good in the past. Mr Chintchunk makes the assertion that his Government has recently Paid its bilis better than have most capitalistic countries. But, be that as it may, one of the things that has impaired Soviet credit has been the fact that the Government has repudi- ated the foreign claims against previ- ‘ous governments. In his conversation rth President Roosevelt, Litvinoft gave assurances that his country was Prepared to enter into negotiations Such @ step would improve Russian credit mightily.

Better a thousand mistakes peacefully laid away than one live doctor caught lying, say I. And so to work. The body this week appears to be that of a poorly nourished, somewhat emaciated man of 58 or 60. There is a history of 412 years illness from stomach, liver dis- orders, colitis, and anemia. The man was suddenly taken ill, complained of much soreness in hypogastrium, that's away down around Chili, and later the soreness seemed to be in the chest. Within 2 hours from the time this dis- tress began the man was dead, from hypostatic pneumonia or pulmonary edema. Are these the same thing? Aside from the distress, which is not essential, hypostatic “pneumonia” or pulmonary edema is not a bad way to go, not half bad. In either case, the victim’s consciousness becomes gradually obtunded and he drifts peacefully into oblivion, notwithstand- ing the labored or perhaps stertorous breathing. Hypostatic means settling of the blood in the lowest portion of the chest and lungs. This occurs as & terminal condition in many chronic, exhausting illnesses, with failure of the circulation. It is carelessly called hypostatic “pneumonia,” but there is no inflammation, only mechanical settling of the blood by gravity, so the correct term for it is hypostatic congestion. The base or lower portion of the lung may contain little or no air when hypostatic congestion is ad- vanced. Such splenization gives a dull 20 months old. He learned in a few days after I had put on him a pair of baby shoes with stiff soles (he had been wearing soft soles) which had been discarded by his older brother. The stiff soles seemed to give him confidence. (Mrs. 8.) Answer—Thank you. Most babies learn with soft soles or none—just wool booties or socks, or barefoot if the going is smooth and the baby is comfortable barefoot.

Garter Trade Won't Stretch . . . Veteran Repeal Move Is Spiked. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 17.—“No public- ity” was the order when the admin- istration decided to make sugar and cum in the Virgin Islands. There were good reasons. Lots of people don’t want Uncle Sam making Squawks from sugar-raising states were certain. And enemies of Socialism were sure to be heard from. But when Roosevelt quietly signed the order allocating $1,000,000 of pub- lic works funds to buy a plant and acreage for production, his idea wasn’t to make rum and sugar. That happens to be the only efasi- ble way in which the Virgin Islands—_, which Hoover called “an effective poorhouse”—can be rehabilitated. note when the doctor sounds the chest, similar to the dull note elicited in pneumonia, and hence the incorrect term. a Hypostatic congestion of the lungs is an insidious development. Doctors attending exhausted bed-ridden pa- tients have to watch for it. Nurses have to turn such patients from one position to another at regular inter- vals to guard against the effect of gravity. : Feeble persons who wander away and are exposed to cold and hunger are likely to develop hypostatic con- gestion, if they are rescued alive. This circumstance has too often been in- terpreted as evidence that exposure causes pneumonia. But we should understand clearly that hypostatic congestion of the lungs is always a secondary condition. If a physician enters such a cause of death the health authorities im- mediately return the certificate for the direct or primary cause of death.

A When the Baby Walks | My s0n did not walk until he was) Most of the profits from sale of rum and sugar in this country will go to cane farmers, who will be organized into a cooperative. The project calls for purchase of 4,000 acres of cane land, which will be dealt out to hun- dreds of farmers on the subsistence homestead plan. The sugar plant, operated by a U. 8. corporation, will buy their crop. Others farmers will be eligible for the co-op. A 500,000-gallon still is planned and the islands will produce about 20,000 tons of sugar. When sugar prices are too low to give the cane farmers a devent price, the corporation will step up production of rum. RIGHT FROM THE HEART “I thank you for that applause,” Senator Capper of Kansas said after his speech to the old age se- THREE GUESSES curity conference. “When a Re- publican senator is applauded in Washington these days, gratitude comes from the bottom of his heart.” THE MIGHTY LAID LOW That big bad wolf, Andy Mellon's powerful and monopolistic Aluminum Company of America, has come here as a supplicant—a weakling set upon by the pack. No one ever expected to live to see the day! The corporation wants to keep out from under the electrical code. There's a scheme on foot to fix a uniform vrice for electric cable. Most cable is made of copper, but some of alumi- num, which is cheaper. So the aluminum company is mak- ing a terrific fuss, claiming it would be at the mercy of copper interests, which would set the same price for beth kinds of cable. CAN'T STRETCH GARTERS Most men's garters will continue to be made in summer and fall. Efforts at an NRA code hearing to have pro- duction and employment spread the year around were unsuccessful, though it was hard to see why Christmas garter boxes couldn't just as well be prepared in the spring. The garter and many other indus- tries, asking special exemption for jovertime work on grounds of seasonal activity, have laid their inability to snread the work over the year to prob- lems of credit. ROOTLEG SILVER NEXT Then there's silver. Pro-silver sen- ators insist a lot of it will be boot- iegged this year, now that the treas- ury is to pay 64 cents an ounce for the newly mined product. Silver production runs about 24,- 000,000 ounces a year, but the temp- tation will ke to smuggle in and boot- leg other newly mined metal and run it through the smelters for the high- er price. * Since it became illegal to hold gold, many hoarders have been piling up silver, and speculators, according to ae here, have vast quantities it. Of course the big increase in silver output will be ascribed to greater mining activity caysed by the price boost. SPIKED IN ADVANCE Several congressmen all set with _ Sterling | By FEAN RB.

She would need all her strength and poise for her meeting with Karakhan. It would be fatal to brood about the future and let it unnerve her. The future must take care of itself. All that day her thoughts had been running on her father; and now, on the trip up the dark river, they came back to him, and she tried to feel that he was with her in spirit, watching over her safety again as he had done during that white Siberian winter, As sho looked above the tree tops and-saw the Sacred W hanging in the northeast sky, she remembered the long-ago evening in distant Irkutsk when he had first pointed it out to her and Carl, and recalled winter nights in the Lena Woods when the three of them had Jain huddled together, without fire or shelter, listening for enemies and watching the constellations swing around the pole star. Now he and Carl were gone, and under the far-northern Canadian sky she was watching those con- stellations alone. Dead, he and Cari, her menfolk who had been world to her—she dared not self think of them as was only recently that pulled herself out of the b! aE found heart to go on living. Karakhan was reading a batch of month-old newspapers that mid- night when the three runners came into his cabin with LeNoir’s report. The moment he heard about the escape of Ralston and his partner, he made up his mind to get away in his plane as soon as he had light enough for flying. The reassi which LeNoir relayed—that two hat fled south and the band was coming north as a reassured him not at all. Sharpened by twenty years keeping ahead of the law, his tion told him it was time have wasted a thought; but Sonya Volkov stood out by herself, one of the rare personalities of his life- time. In the last few days he had been thinking of her till she had be- come @ madness in his blood; and all the clamorous impulses within him rebelled at the thought of leav- ing her there. throwing fects into a duffle bag, he went down to the hangar, turned the Speedair so that it headed lakeward; and untied all the mooring ropes except one slip-hitch around @ pontoon i i H # Sis zt The G pea | hoy their name from plural @ Span- ish word “galapago,” meaning tortoise; huge turtles, or tortoises, are found on these islands. who balance thelr figeres | ‘often tex their enefgies. mering, he picked out Sonya in Le Noir's craft, LeNoir stroked his canoe in front of the others and nosed in to the landing. Sonya rose up, swaying slightly to the rocking of the water.’ Karakhan reached her band, clasped! it, helped her step up on the logs. “Sonya!” He greeted her in thelr, native tongue, “You have really, come! I haven't quite believed it: until now!” ’ Sonya’s clear eyes looked at him; steadily. She did not respond to the! Pressure of his hand. “Yes, I've come,” she said, in an even voice. “P'm-giad to meet you again.” Karakhan was disappointed—and: puszled. Her greeting had none of the passion of her letter. But per! haps it was only her natural shyt , ness before LeNoir and the Indians.| “You're tired,” he said, with a show of solicitude. He could not take his eyes from her—the golden; softness of her hair, the loveliness, of her face and throat. “Come up with me to the cabin. I've a break- fast of sorts ready for you.” He lowered his voice, though none of his listeners knew a sentence of Russian: “Then we're leaving here. Immediately. I'll explain, dearest, when we're alone and a thousand vVersts from this place.” As they walked up the footpath to the cabin, he grew more and more disappointed and mystified by Son- ‘ ya's attitude. This meeting with her was not as he had expected. She seemed even colder and more dis tant than in Victoria, when he had so dismally failed of a conquest, INSIDE the cabin he took her foro ibly into his arms and kissed her, thinking it would break down her shyness. Sonya turned her face away, and he felt her whole body stiffen—at the mere contact with him, it seemed. “What's wrong, Sonya?” he de manded. “You don’t appear at all glad.” He was impatient with her. coldness and utter lack of response. Sonya freed herself, without an- swering. She stepped over to the, rough block table and behind it, so that it stood between her and Kara-, khan. With a glance about the room, and @ glance at the Indians out- side, she confronted him. “It’s been a long trail from Vie~ toria here,” she said, the last pretense of friendliness, “And it was a long hunt before that, to get my first trace of where you'd gone. When I look back, it seems as though I've had one continuous miracle of luck in finding you. But! that's past. I’m here.” ‘4 Karakhan stared wide-eyed at her, with all his ardor forsaking him He saw, at last, that her coldness was no girlish make-believe but a dead earnestness, The expression in her eyes made him suddenly afraid. “Your conquests with women have always been so easy,” she went on, “that you can’t imagine any woman not falling in love with you, and sa when you get a letter from one that’ called you ‘Beloved’ when she meant ‘You white beast,’ you swallowed the hook and sent your man to bring her to you, “You were proof against traps and poison and the professional police hounds, but you weren't proof against that lure! You've had your way with a great number of women and you came to regard them as harmless things. But where men— all the men ever sent after you failed to bring you to account, it was & woman who trailed you, and reached here, and’s here now!” Karakhan backe. up s step and his jaw dropped. If anything of his Gelusion about her remained, the loathing packed into that epit “You white beast,” toppled it (Copyright, Wiliam B. Mowery) “Sonya, tomo! citeny’s, tamerrow, comes to the
