Now the policy is one of waich- and-wait. Mr. Roosevelt has put| himeelf on record as disapproving | the non-cooperation of Chancellor Hitler, but Washington has shown no great excitement. It is pre- | occupied with farm prices, bank deposits, oil regulation. | DOG-WAGGING TAIL? ty hopeless, anyhow, and write it off the books. Administration . statisticiahs who have been working on the currency question have figured out that on- 1y 4 per cent of American produc- tion and consumption ever comes into contact with the foreign mon- ey markets, and need trouble ifself about foreign exchange rates. One high authority, rejecting suggestions that the American dol- lar be stabilized against the Eng- lish pound, asks: why let the four per cent tail wag the 96 per cent dog?” That is one viewpoint. Those who take the other argue that it would be fairer to conclude that so long as the 4 per cent fail is caught in the door, the rest of the dog won't be of much use. LOOKING SOUTHWARD So far as Cuba is concerned, Washington again is feeling opti- mistic.

More and more Al- aska packers have had to reduce herring to oil and meal because they have been crowded out of home markets by the more cheaply produced foreign article, he added. With an equalized market the herring curing industry in Alaska would be almost if not entirely as large as the salmon canning in- dustry, he asserted. It would be of much importance since it would furnish local fishermen with em- ployment for a longer period each year than can be had in salmon | fishing.
