Of all the committees of the Presi- dent’s Organization on Unemployment Relief, that one to which was assigned the task of reporting on “Plans and Suggestions” was given onme of the toughest nuts to crack. For the de- | pression has been marked by an over- | production of plans and suggestions. They have become a drug on the mar- et, their very number contributing | %0 a hopeless maze that for the time] being has obscured any definite ob- Jective. The business of selecting from She countless plans some tangible pro- gram to which the Nation might com- mit itself for united effort has been far from simple. The committee, headed by Harry A. Wheeler of Chi- oago, is to be congratulated on the Pprogram that it presents to the Nation. It is & program, first, that is based n & candid statement of fact. “The most earnest wish of all the people of our cbuntry is for ‘a revival of business that will speed up industry, nsure employment of now idle work- ors, stabilize commodity and security walues and open gradually expanding weork opportunity.

MacDonald's Smashing Vietory. Latest and virtually complete election returns leave no doubt of the over- whelming magnitude of the British National government’s landslide victory. Truly. in the words of Ramsay Mac- Donald, “the response to our appeal has been ‘far beyond the dreams of the most enthusiastic amongst us.” Not the lepst gratifying feature of the avalanche which snowed the old Labor party into apnihilation is the re-elec- tion of the prime minister at Seaham by a majority of, roundly. 6,000. Mr. MacDonald could have stood in & far less hostile constituency and won by default. He chose .he path which led uphill, relying on the readiness of his ald supporters to listen to reason. They did not fail him. In whatever direction one looks. the blow dealt Labor is a terrific one. Not @ single former Labor cabinet minister saved his seat. The most notalje vic- tim of the holocaust was Arthur Hen- derson, who took over the Labor party leadership when Mr. MacDonald was shorn of it in September. Headed by “Our Maggie” Bondfield, all of Labor's petticoated: members in the House of Commons falled of re-election. Lady Astor becomes doyenne of a group of fourteen women M. Ps, all identified with non-Labor groups. Out of 610 constituencies polled up to this morning, the National govern- ment held 556 seats and the Labor op- position 50, with five Independents in doubt. This assures a majority for the government of not fewer than 500, a parliamentary situation seldom, if ever, known in the history of the House of Commons. Labor has suffered a loss of 236 seats, which is tantamount to the wiping out of the party as a force that needs to be reckoned with in West- minster. The discomfited Socialists seek heart of grace from the fact that they polied & popular vote of 6,649,944, but, even so, Labor was mown down by the combined forces of the National government in the ratio of two to one, Naturally, the colossal predominance of Conservative seats in the new House of Commons, & phalanx of 472, pre- supposes that Stanley Baldwin's party sooner or later will boss the show. By all the rules of tradition. King George should send for Mr. Baldwin, as leader of the largest single party in Parlia- ment, and invite him to form a govern- ment. But the Conservative chief is prompt to prociaim that Tuesday's elec- tion eventuated in a victory for a Na- tional regime and not for any political organization, Thus the world pres- ently may witness the anomaly of a Tory House meekly ficcepting the lead- ership of a minority Labor statesman. Things in London cannot and will not continuously remain in that ab- normal shape. It prospectively will en- dure only so long as the National gov- ernment requires for economic read- justment of the budget and stabiliza- tion of sterling. Having tasted the bicod of triumph this week, and drunk adverse world conditions, it is certain that we delay recovery by passively moeepting our relation to the interna- tional situation and in failing to make » concerted, determined effort to cor- wect domestic conditions.” As & self-contained Nation “we have within our own boundaries the ele- mental factors for recovery.” Our na- tional wealth is greater than our pre- ‘war wealth and greater “than it would Dbetween 1914-1931." domestic business in comparison with export trade “places us in posi- to develop internally a construc- st eontinued employment. V1t Is the sober judgment of this committee that s & | Tundamentel to all of the aids which may be hereafter suggested, the unify- | tog of publie interest and sentiment in Shis action is absolutely imperative.” But there is something needed besides | paychology, and this the committee | names as a further extension of credit. | “No other action will so materially nfluence public confidence. through im- mediately opening new sources of | employment, and thus give impetus to | resumption 6f Sormal buying, as will | further adequate steps to unfreeze | efedit.” The committee points to the immediate success of the National Credit Corporation as having fulfilied this need | part.

When they achieve it, as it must be assumed they are bound to do when they ask it in their own right, the protective tariff will be hoisted as the banner under which they will hope to march to party vietory. The slender showing mage by the warring Liberal groups under the rival captaincies of Mr. Lloyd George, Sir Herbert Samuel and, Sir John Simon are not likely ‘to stay the ad- vance of Staniey Baldwin's invincibles. A Moscow dispatch quotes Joseph Stalin, Communist czar of Soviet Rus- sia, as saying, in comment on the Brit- ish election, that “the British mentality is inscrutable.” To Moscow's man of steel, perhaps; not so to the world at large. The British mentality has only fun true to form. It is most stable in times of crisis. Hatving concluded that Britaih was drifting steadily toward those “idesls” which are progressively impoverishing Russia, it decided to sink them withcut trace beforé it was too late Mr. H. G. Wells, now in Washington's midst, says that the National govern- ment is on trial, and that if it fails in its mandated task, the restoration of prosperity, a trend to Communism is inevitable.

With Austria aiready in mood for Anschluss with Germany, something very like the old Triple Alli- ance naw looms on the European hori- ®on. Signor Grandi spoke, of course. while Mussolini's Naples speech was still echoing across the continent. Ger- many’s major policy being the destruc- tion or disruption of the treaty of Ver- sailles, especially its reparations and armament clauses, whereby the Reich is condemned to enduring impoverish- ment and military impotence, the world is now made aware that the Germans do not stand alone in demending re- medial action. Italy has taken her place at the Reich's side. Presumably they will talk the same language at the Geneva disarmiment conference, where, according to the Prench memorandum to the League of Nations, methods must be explored for the “solid organization of security and durable peace.” The same thought, in identical terms, finds expression in the Hoover-Laval joint statement. If France at Geneva In February, 1032, remains as opposed as Pierre Laval was at Washington in October, 1931, to any revision of the treaty of Versailles, the outlook for a reconcili tion of viewpoints between Europe’ rival groups will be far from rosy. Even the adhesion of Senator Borah to the German-Italian glliance for treaty revision does not suggest that it can be accomplished against the wishes of the country now crowned as | began the strongest country in the world, out- side of the Western Hemisphere—a country clothed with ample power to veto any Buropean settlement which does not suit its book. ———— It has not yet been deemed needful in current negotiations to call on Gen.

It is es- | sentially & southern industty and i§ carried on exténsively and diligently by the farmers in Apulia, Calabria, Sicily and Abruszsi. output in 1930 amounted to 54260 tons. Among_ the varleties of dried figs grown in Italy the most important are the “dottato™ land the “bruglotto.” These figs are spherical in shape, with a short stalk. a thin rind, slightly wrinkled and of & greenish yeilow color. The pulp is | whitish, witl: & high sugar content and rich aroma. The seeds are few and sqft. The figs ripen in the first half of | August. The crop is large, of fine qual- |ity and much in demand.

The weight is 12 to 15 kilograms (261, to 33 pounds). The figs exported to Argen- tina are packed in tin boxes, decorated with lithographs, tightly sealed, con- taining 5 kilograms.
