The 1936 production estimated at $448,000,000 compared with $320,000,000 in 1935.” “Operations in the steel industry for the week of June 15 averaged 70 per cent of capacity, com- pared with 69.5 per cent in previous week,” according to the American Iron §& Steel Institute. “This com- | pares with an estimated rate of 38.3 per cent a year ago.” Offering of an issue of $83,000,000 Federal Land Bank 3 per cent 20-year farm loan bonds, used in retiring $83,125,000 of 4%, per cent bonds called for payment July 1, with accrued interest, were “snapped | up immediately and promptly were quoted at premimum.” The New York Times weekly index of business activity was 101.5 at mid-June, compared with 82.3 in the corresponding week last year.

The farm, tariff, social security, child labor, world court and all other planks literally face both ways The promise of a re-enactment of the ill-fated Me- Nary-Haughen act, twice vetoed by Republican Presi-| dents, is glibly given, along with such an absolute exclusion of imports as would preclude sales of farm| exports.

For Mr. Suvich will bring credentials, not merely from the King of Italy as did the present envoy, but from | the King of Italy and Emperor of Ethiopia If the United States refuses to receive Mr. Suvich, | it breaks off diplomatic relations with Italy—a drastic | step indeed. If it receives him it automatically extends | diplomatic recognition to the conquest of Ethiopia, in | violation of the Kellogg-Briand pact, to which this country and Italy are signatories Undeniably this is an awkward situation a shrewd maneuver on the part of the Rome Govern- ment, if indeed that is the plan decided upon. Having won every round in the long battle against Ethiopia | Great Britain, and the league, Italy is now confident she can compel the community of nations to go farther | and recognize as valid the new territorial status quo ™ East Africa. The United States has consistently refused recognize Manchoukuo as an “independent state,” in- asmuch as it was created by Japanese military ag- gression in clear violation of the Kellogg-Briand pact and the Nine-Power treaty of 1922.

Wholesalers will profit, Bench and bar will command at- tention, owing to unusual events International law will be studied Vacancies on supreme court benches are prognosticated. This is a favorable rule for real estate transactons, but it seems to be more lucky for small deals than for larger transfers, Accidents are indicated while this configuration prevails.
