RETURNSTLLLOW ON COTTON FARM U. S. Aid Has Doubled Pay, but Average Man Gets Only $6 Weekly. By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, October 19.—Gov~ ernment aid has increased the average cotton grower’s income 100 pe: ¢ in the last three years, but it s mains one of the poorest paid ferms of endeavor in the United States. While there are many large scale growers utilizing multiple-row egu.p- ment and modern machinery who are exceptions, the rank and file of the 1,986,726 cotton farmers in this coun- try will be fortunate this season 1f their gross income is $6 a week. A compilation by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics shows that three years ago, with the pric2 of cotton wallowing around 6 or 7 cents a pound, the average cotton farer’s gross income was slightly under $300. Today crop control and benefit pay- ments by the Government bring it up to $661. By the latest figures of the Census Bureau an average cotton farm con- sists of 78 acres. After making pro- vision for idle crop land, pasture land and wood land, it produces around 71, bales of cotton. At current levels of 12 cents a pound this brings the grower $450 and another $10¢ for cottonseed. Other small cash crops and Government benefit payments for | acreage reduction make up the bal- ance of the $661. But then “deduction” begins. Ap- proximately 73 per cent of the cotion | farms are operated by share or tenant | croppers who have to give half of cheir | cotton to the landlord, paring thrir| gross income accordingly. Then in | many cases the share cropper has to | pay half of the cost of ginning and fertilizer. Qu.akc (Continued From First Page.) tonight. Property losses were esti- mated upward from $1,500,000. Two were known to have died, and scores were receiving treatment for injuries. At nightfall 156 tremors had been recorded since 9:47 o'clock last night, when the most violent of the week- long series of shocks rocked the city and threw it into panic. Just be- fore 5 pm. today a quake renewed the pitching and swaying sensation. Four other shocks of minor intensity came at irregular intervals since noon. | Two false fire alarms added today | to the confusion. With Federal relief tunds avail- able, the city today began removing | debris. Cracked cornice stones and | loosened portions of buildings were removed. Fissure 150 Feet Long. In the Helena Valley to the north- west a fissure was opened for 150 | feet. It was 2 or 3 inches wide and | more than 3 feet deep, indicating, City Engineer Oscar Baarson said, an intense pressure had found an outlet. A similar indentation in the earth was discovered near the wrecked half- million-dollar high school. Still others were reported to the east of the city. The quake, described by Dr. Charles Richter of Pasadena, Calif., as “the | fourth large shock felt in the United | States in the last two years” jarred points as far north as Canada and| ‘Washington, dipping into Idaho and Sheridan, Wyo., and affecting a large slice of Western Montana. “Mountain Building.” Prof. Perry Byerly, Berkeley, Calif., gaid it was the general story of “mountain building” in the bowels of the earth. All places of public gathering in Helena were ordered closed until fur- ther notice. The order applied to the- aters, churches, schools, libraries, | dance halls, beer parlors—every place where the public might congregate under a roof. The two dead were Charles Siggel- Ink, a transient, of Appleton, Wis., crushed in the fall of a building at | the State fair grounds transient cen- | ter, and Dave Harris, colored, killed when trapped beneath a falling wall in the business district | Masonic officials said the city’s spec- tacular Shrine temple, with its ornate | Turkish spire, may have been severely damaged.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The lull on the Ethiopian battle- | front has given European diplomats a | chance to take stock of the situation | this week end to see whether there is during the week appeared to lead to another European war. The conversations between the in Rome and in Paris are by far more important for the peace of the world than the fighting in Ethiopia. | R o It was already a tag among sages 2,000 years ago that “out, of Africa | cometh ever something new.” The guns at Aduwa open a new epoch like | the cannon of Valmy. The League of Nations and its main pillars—Great Britain and France—have been virile. It has decreed economic sanctions—which can be only partially enforced and do mot worry Italy—and Great Britain has talked a good deal about a blockade. The sanctions policy was based on the theory that Mussolini was bluffing. An old gag which proved wrong when it was applied to Hitler. Men of Mussolini’s and Hitler's stamp neither arrive by bluff nor survive it. Their own clanking spectacles are part of the iron organization of arms. * X ¥ X People in this country especially were told that Mussolini would be cowed and ruined by threats which the British and the Russians worked up with a fortissimo of brass-band publicity at Geneva and in the press. It was believed that this method of diplomacy would prevent an Ethi- opian war. It did not and thus end- eth the first lesson. * ok ok x The sanctions are being applied with a lack of sincerity characteristic of European nations.

Russia, ever since its creation as a state, be it under the rule of the czars or of the proletariat, has been bore rowing right and left. The other states which followed the League's decision to refrain from any commercial intercourse with Italy are | now sending emissaries to London ask- ing for substantial subsidies because “their national economy is suffering since they decided to apply these sanc- tions.” Countries whose trade balance with Ttaly never exceeded a few hundred thousands of dollars claim now that they will be ruined unless Great Brit- ain is willing to come across with sub- stantial loans. * % X % ‘The sanctions and the public threats at the aggressor nation have be- devilled the whole situation. They made it impossible for the Italian dic- tator to revoke and forced him to double his stakes. The whole theory of sancticns—looking back to 1931— holds no water. You do not come into court with| clean hands when you say that there is | one law for an Asiatic power—| Japan—thought too formidable, and | another for a European nation sup: & o A e posed more assailable. It is like hav- ing one law for the rich and one law for the poor. £ * * % Because of these considerations, Great Britain, France and Italy are rubbing their eyes just like the indi- vidual “the morning after the night before.” After a feast of oratory at Geneva and the parading of naval and air forces, the diplomats of the three countries have come to the con- clusion that after all it might be better for all concerned to sit douwn and talk things over quietly. Neither Great Britain nor France are much interested in Ethiopia’s independence. The French have been drawn into| this wasp's nest because of their com- mitments to Mussolini and to Great Britain; the British are worried solely “When you give the people something bet- ter there’s never any question about sales.” You're right, Mr. Ford!
