The picture of a recovering industry, strengthen- ing finance and a more confident and prosperous pe presented by Mr. B. M. Behrends on his return here from an extended trip throughout, the try is cheering. And it is all the stronger > he is a trained banker and successful and becaus experienced business executive rather than a poli- tician or other special pleader whose own bias or prejudice might color '&s judgment. His well known conservative viewpoint adds weight to his words. The great changes he noted all occurred in a Between February 1933 and February fear and dispair have given way to fidence, hope and activity. Business continues to gain. More people are finding employment Banks are in the soundest position in a decade or more. The country, Mr. Behrends said, is definitely on the road to recovery. While he did not so state, we believe he would subscribe to the statement that all of this has resulted from the great leadership of President Roosevelt, whose first year in office ended a few days ago. No finer, more courageous or more en- lightened leadership has ever been given to this country in any hour of need. We look forward to the next few years under it with confidence that we shall reach heights of a new and more generally distributed prosperity that will be felt by all Americans that has never been attained before in the country’s history. single year. 1934 doubt, 1IPPING. AMERICAN-BRITISH The New York Evening Post in a recent copy- righted article claims that the Leviathan, largest liner in the *World, 4 being “allowed ¥o rot at @ Hoboken pier where she was sent in order to remove “a menace to British shipping.” The Post further claims the Leviathan has been abandoned by her owners, the International Mercantile Marine, to a “feast of the elements,” and that lack of care has inflicted $1,000,000 damage on her. “The docking of the Leviathan,” the article says, “marks one of the closing chapter in a chain of Shipping Board operated the Leviathan and other vessels and they “constituted a menace to British shipping.” When Congress decided to sell the fleet in 1929, the International Mercantile Marine bid for it, but it went to the high bidders, Chapman and Sheedy, and the ships for another two years “continued to cut deeply into British shipping! profits.” Continuing, the Post declared: Then things began to happen. The de- | pression overtook the company which was operating these great American ships. The | Shipping Board ‘cracked down’ on Chapman and Sheedy and 4,500 American stockholders in 42 States and harassed them at every turn. When the almost unbelievable thing had taken place.

A company marketing sea-food products has| adapted results of a recent scientific study of the | effects of light on the development of rancidity in ofl-bearing foods. Chemists of “the United States| Department of Agriculture found that glass or! paper containers of a grass green color cut off the light rays that hasten rancidity. Fish products are usually more or less oily, and this company has| adopted a new green parchment cover which it is| anticipated will help preserve the flavor of the| product. The findings of scientists in public employ are | public property, but the sea-food company is re-| ported to have thought so highly of the improved package that it obtained an agreement from the manufacturers of the parchment paper not to sell, the same shade to any competitor. Just because we have until the end of the month to register for the municipal election is no reason why we should wait until then to perform that very necessary civic duty. It's as easy to register now as then and, besides, the early comers avoid that boresome last-minute rush. | If those Illinois and Indiana cops who are chasing that outlaw person, Dillinger, get -tired, how about sending for the Arizona lads that knocked him over in the first place? Congress, says Delegate Dimond, will have the Alaska boys and girls out of the Dry trenches by April 1. We hope that this doesn't prove to be an, April fool joke. ! ms to Wilderness. Returning (New York Herald Tribune.) The President’s Committee on Wild Life Restora- tion has drawn up a plan for the protection of our wild life which lends new purpose to the policy of withdrawing marginal lands from cultivation. The committee says, in effect, to those officials who are seeking to reduce the acreage under cultivation: “Give us the pick of the lands which you acquire from the farmer so that we may give them to the ducks and geese and bears and coyotes and even to the song birds.” More formally, the committee | asks the President to turn over $25,000,000 ($50,000,- 000 if possible) to be used for the purchase and de- velopment fof farm and range ‘lands as game ‘pre- 3 serves.
