The latest report of that body contains. this significant statement, “first quarter net profits of 334 representative U. S. corporations rose 43.6 per cent over the corresponding ’36 quar- ter, despite strikes and floods. STEEL SHOWED A GAIN OF 372 PER CENT over the ’36 quarter.” Which adds up, bluntly, to the conclusion that the steel barons are proceeding gleefully to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. The steel mills made a profit in the first quarter of 1936. It wasn’t a big profit—not as large as it should have been —but it still was a profit. When 372 per cent is added to the profit scale of a year ago it simply means that the people are paying too much for steel, that prices have been advanced out of reason. For example, pursuing the report further, we find that residential building had advanced sharply but other building still is in the doldrums. One of the reasons may be the fact that very little steel goes into residential building. Industrial building uses a lot of it. The steel industry is not alone. Copper and some other metals have followed its lead. Thus enterprise is penalized and the tendency of the country to go ahead under full steam is discouraged. . In recent months a good many of the nation’s leaders have suggested that combinations and monopolies are responsible tor the peculiar price gyrations. That a price agreement exists in steel is amply proved by the government’s own experience in which bids, alike to the penny, were offered by various firms on contracts running into millions of dollars. No sets of bookkeepers or engineers could independently arrive at exactly the same figures on' big contracts. The NRA, first big move of the Roosevelt administration in the economic field, had failed dismally before it was kicked out by the supreme court. It had failed because it was working an injustice on the consumer, Perhaps a vigorous campaign to insure real competition among the big fellows, or at least to give the little fellow an honest chance to compete, would do the country more good than the half-baked ideas which are being advocated in so many quarters. Ethyl-Hydro-Cupreine Take another look at the heading of this editorial but don’t try to fix the name in your mind. It may bea trifle difficult for anyone except a pharmacist or a chemist. But note carefully that it may be of importance to you, par- ticularly if you or anyone in your family should happen to suffer with pneumonia after the next few months, For the fact is that this is the name given to a new prepara- tion made from quinine which seems to have the faculty of curing pneumonia. It was tried out on 200 cases in Pittsburg, where the pneumonia mortality is about 100 per cent higher than in most other places, and found to be greatly beneficial. Some of it now is being parceled out to doctors throughout the country for trial. If they find it works for them as well as it did in Pittsburg, another important weapon will have been added to the arsenal with which modern science fights disease. And while the doctors will be the ones to use it, note care- fully that it was developed by chemists at the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, endowed by Andrew W. Mellon and his brother, the late Richard B. Mellon. What Is Left to Celebrate? Nazi Germany is reported to be indignant because various Aritish and American universities have refused to join in the celebration of Goettingen university’s bicentenary this June. These refusals, of course, are simply the universities’ pro- test against the way the Nazi dictatorship has prostituted the ancient ideal of free and untrammeled scholarship—which is the only kind of scholarship worth a picayune, If a university, of all places, is not allowed to pursue truth without restriction ; if its professors can be persecuted for their opinion, their race or their religion—then that university has simply been withdrawn from the great, international fellowship of scholars. It is precisely that load which Hitlerism has placed on the once-great German universities. Is it any wonder that the free universities of England and America are loath to take part in the Goettingen bicentenary ? 2 Unprofitable Tactics Americans, who spent five billions of dollars on vacations dast year, will splurge even more this summer, various surveys| y indicate. European countries especially will benefit, reveals a noted travel agency. One of the principal reasons this will be 80, it points out, is that there has been a dessening of political tension abroad. If this is the case, tourists must obviously favor countries that are unruffled by politics, and it is quite possible that late this year dictatorships, that are steeped in it, will be very If they are hardly dampened by the shower of American gold, dictators may get the point that an overemphasis on po- | litical activity and bellicosity does not always pay dividends. ‘Which would be a very good thing. bad Bening SCENES Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER . (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, May 11—Few men in Franklin D. Roosevelt's position would have gone merrily. off on a two-week fishing trip. It takes a peculiar mental and psy- chological makeup and an unusual imperviousness to worry. This fishing trip is of a piece with the gay, self-confident air the President has persistently exhibited since March 4, 1933. His critics call it “ir- responsibility.” Call it. what you like, Roosevelt—aside from the fact that he likes vacationing, fishing and sail- ing—has a sense of strategy which tells him his position will be strength- ened rather than weakened if he al- lows Congress to stew in its own Juice. The fight of his life over the Su- preme Court nears its critical days. Congress is more dangerously rebel- lious than ever before as one of the century's great issues and many other big ones hang in the balance. The whole administration program is side- tracked. Nearly everyone is worried about price inflation threats and budget problems. The economy issue is up in a big way. “Across the park) | from the White House tne U. 8. Chamber of Commerce orators again thunder at the New Deal. So what?

The President still believes he has most of the people with him and that, not counting a few not very important exceptions, the lineup be- tween himself and his opponents is much the same as it was before the last election. Meanwhile the com-! promise seekers have nowhere to go. Administration House and Senate leaders are not enjoying the Roose- velt vacation. Congress has almost nothing to do and, at such times, the evil provides work for idle congres- sional hands which often takes the form of crackpot schemes that cost a billion dollars or more. * % % \ From White House Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed- ward F. McGray’s suggestion that the U. 8.

He was in Berlin at the time. But the tragic event remajned in the pub- lic mind. At the age of 54 George came to England as its king .
