It has not been administered | by partisan and there is nothing about it that sug-| gests partisanship. On the contrary, it is purely economic in both conception and execution and was devised to correct—and certainly is correcting—the previous governmental interference with tariffs and foreign trade under the Harding, Coolidge and Hoover | administrations that were political and that not only‘ ruined agriculture but undermined the nation’s geneml‘ industrial and financial system. H For seven and a half years Mr. Hoover served as Secretary of Commerce and the public assumes that' his experience renders him more qualified for dis- cussion of present problems from an economic stand- point. But had he done so, avoidance of any mention of AAA would have been impossible The AAA was only one of the component parts of the general policy of the Roosevelt Administration aimed at restoration of the old competitive machine; wof producing a balance between prices and costs, be- tween income and interest charges; between the cost of living and the buying power of consumers. All of this was to make business activity again possible.

The recent session of the Republican National Ex- ‘ence to the Agriculture Adjustment Preparing for Peace. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) It was a sobering interpretation of the Italo- Ethiopian conflict that a history professor and a newspaperman brought to the Foreign Policy Asso- ciation recently. From his place of vantage in Gen- eva, Mr, Leland Stowe has seen the converging lines of a colossal struggle for control of the Mediterranean. For him, Ethiopia is merely the bone over which two dogs are growling. Italy has her teeth on it at the moment. But Great Britain is prepared to fight a major war, if necessary, to prevent Italy from sever- ing the life-line of the British Empire through the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. This slant on the present African conflict has very important implications for the United States. We may not find it hard to keep out of a colonial war in Africa. But we unquestionably will have to make great sacrifices and pursue a courageous policy if we would avoid entanglement in a war between Great Britain and a combination of Powers headed by Italy. 1 The odds are against such a war, Mr. Stowe be- lieves. Yet the fact that such a major war is possible, this year or next year, compels us to take stock of our preparation for peace. This country is amply pre- | pared for war. But it is not war that we want. Our obligation now is to focus our attention more care- fully on peace, and canvass all the sundry alternatives available to us. ‘We must be ready, not only to embargo the ex- port of arms and the lending of money to belligerents, but to shut off the export of other goods essential in war.

His condition this moerning was a source of pro- found worry to all the country.” No news has developed in the case of William Christie, amalga- mator of the “700” mill, who dis- appeared from Douglas Island Sat- urday after having been subpoenaed by a man who gave his name as Miller and said he was a deputy marshal, which information has since been proven false. All search has been in vain and telegrams to other coast towns have produced no results. At their last night's meet- ing the Shriners voted to aid in the search and search parties were de- tailed to traverse the island." Sus- picion that Christie has met ‘with foul play deepened as the trail seemed to lead only into blind alleys. His wife is reported prostrate with anxiety. No reason for his disappearance could be given by members of the crew, who stated they did not know that Christie possessed anydan- gerous enemies.

The forenoon is especially fortunate for those who are inter- ested in human welfare. The planetary government encour- ages leaders of thought and is aus- picious for the clergy who will find | increased interest in religion and| philosophy. Many teachers of strange cults and psychic subjects will gain followings. The year will show marked interest | in spiritual matters. | Warnjng is given that there may be with all the serious aspirations growth of hypocrisy. Many latter- day Pharisees will be busy. | Under this sway there is restless- ness and discontent. The mind may be quick to believe the worst about | persons in the Sun, and many scan- | dals will be uncovered. Money will be a temptation to| divert funds from their right chan- nels, the seers testify, and they warn | of serious consequences for self-| seekers who gain public office. | This is a fairly favorable day for| the aged who engage in activities| sitmulating to mind and body. Many | distinguished careers will close in| the coming winter. The evening of this day is not aus- | picious for courtship. The young | may be capricious and unstable in love. | Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of a year of sudden changes that may include journeys.| Intrigues may cause business diriic-: ulties. | Children born on this day prob-‘ | ably will be practical as well as ideal- | istic. - Subjects of this sign usually | achieve important results in the| world. | | Cyrus W.
