By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Apr. 6—Just where this country would be left if a Span- Italy is a question to which you can't get even a semi-official answer here. Speculation as to the consequences of such an incident, however, is bound the president to determine whether @ state of war or civil war exists abroad. 2.—That no provisions of the neu- trality bills passed by the two houses of congress, whether “mandatory” or “discretionary,” can go into effect un- leas the president formally finds and declares such a state of war to exist. 3.—That the aggressive military powers of the world are falling out Of the habit of Laegyct st ol pre- ferring to wage war, WI ry can, under the pretense that they're doing Hothing of the sort. 4—That such powers thus leave themselves free to brand as an un- eed act Shy eel bast char gytad this, or any government they are in a state of war—especially when the declaration is an instrument for enforcing commercial embargoes or other restrictions. 5.—That all this leaves operation of the neutrality act a sort of a guess- a wide field in which to play the game of international politics, which diplomats have been playing from time immemorial. to buy as they would like the incredsed demand will take care] * of a tremendous boost in production. : Any improvement in the general economic level also will . be reflected in an increased price for hides and-by-products. Lest the producer minimize the importance of these factors it should be noted that calf skins comprise about 20 per-cent of the value of the animal. With heavy, well-finished steers the value is about nine per cent but with lighter steers it averages 165 per cent. It should also be noted that hides now are on an import basis. The only recent year in which domestic production met the national need was 1934 when millions of animals were slaughtered because of the drouth. These factors are important in determining the long-time » outlook for the cattle industry.

Chiseler Defeated One reason why some politicians often are able to prejudice farmers against businessmen is illustrated by the case of the Federal Land Bank vs. Rudolph Koslofsky and others; recently . decided by the supreme court, ‘ i In 1934 Koslofsky negotiated a loan with the land bank ~ commissioner whereby he squaréd up his debts, consolidated his obligations in one place and so improved ‘his’ position that he felt he had a chance to work himself out of his troubles. .. But when Koslofsky asked for a loan-he. owed too much “in the judgment of the president” the conditions of civil war described in the act have ceased to exist. The Mew general neutrality act will en- able the president to prescribe its provisions when he finds a state of civil war to exist, but there is nothing in it to compel him to “find” ‘any such thing or to “find” that a state of war exists between nations. money, so his various creditors agreed to scale down their claims : so they might be paid. Each entered into an agreement. One creditor reduced his claim $1,179.50 in order to induce the land bank to make the loan. ; ie But after the deal had been completed ‘this. creditor: re- appeared upon. the scene and, by threats and cajolery, induced Koslofsky to give a note for the sum which it had deducted from its claim, giving a mortgage upon cattle, horses and farm machinery as security. : The land bank knew it was playing Santa Claus 4nen __ it made the loan in the first place. Now it.found that role mag- nified by the action of the creditor with whom it had settled. __ Koslofsky might have been victimized, but it is difficult to put anything like that over on the land bank. It brought suit and the court held that the creditor must keep its original agreement; that such contracts are valid and binding and not to be treated as scraps of paper. : THE SISMARCK TRIBUNE, ‘'UESDAY, APRIL 6, 1937 the world’s handsomest men,. seems to have been hiding his light under se * For a time there, when the heat turned off, it appeared that the “sitdown” might turn into a- about-beating-arms” strike. _ ee & ‘Boston judge gives a woman 3118 years to pay off loan.” At that, she will probably vey bits ioe France.

The sound business- man condemns them fully as much as does the farmer. Height of Absurdity iy When the German government formally notified the hens in the reich that they are expected to do better, as it did the other day, it cast a new light on the methods which are being used to keep the German people in line. Ms = The average German hen, it seems, produces only 90 eggs @ year and the government feels she should do better. - So, in line with a long-established custom, it issued a formal. appeal to the biddies of the nation asking them to. see if they. cannot » lift the average to 140 eggs a year. It is the height of absurdity, of course, because one doubts that even 2 German hen can read. They may even lack the Aryan instinct which so permeates German official life. today. anyway, there is no compulsion which can be exercised. threat of death means nothing to a hen. Death comes soon th, even when the-nation and the owner are most kindly Giaposed. German officialdom probably appreciated the absurdity as| as anyone. ‘The point is that habit operated before any- _one had time to think.
