He bas long been working with kets and hopes in June to launcha « ship from a barge in Lake Michigan and go 80 miles straight up in the air. This would be twice as high as any human has ever gone. If he does this successfully, and returns safely to tell the tale,‘ Maynor, thinks that further progress will be merely » matter of smoothing out the details. Maynor presumably is not alone in his Sdeas. Military people keep dropping hints about @ mysterious project to build a base n space. If Maynor should succeed eventy- ally in building a ship which could reach oute? space and either travel through it or remain there, thus becoming a permanent eateliite of the earth, he would achieve jmmmerta! fame. whether he came back to or not.

Even though this country has more gold, $24 billion, that all the other nations in the world combined, it would be something of a joke to. return to the gold standard’ ‘with ‘our | horde of gold a little more than one-half as much as the federal government spends in a year. Money, or the use of it, is ifi_ itself ‘a mysterious thing. It led the late. Arthur Brigbane to remark, “Nobody knows what money is.” Still, that does not ease in the least the pressure on Americans who work to get money and have more ‘than 34 per- cent of it taken from them in taxation. Some men, whose earnings are small, think they are getting off lightly.

While there may be ground. for de- bate between the various farm organiza- tions as to the merits of the administration proposal, there is no lenger room for argument about the necessity of extend- ing government’ support to the farmers of the nation. A prosperous agriculture is vital to the welfare of the people of the country who realize that the depression of the‘30s centered largely around the collapse of farm prices. It is natural for most of the farmers and their representatives to judge all measures by the money-return to the farm- ers themselves. This is, of course, one of the measuring rods of effective legislation but it ix not solely the basis upon which government policy should be determined. There may be danger in exacting a larger short-term money return if it is likely to lead, in subsequent years, to a long-range loas of greater magnitude. The farmers of the United States raise eropsin such adundance that they unable toseli their surpluses on the do- mestic market. Consequently, they must look to the outside world for the disposi- | tion of much of their cotton, wheat, to- | bacco, and other erops. This selling on the world market tends to fix the price of farm profits on the basis of the werld level. The complaint of the agriculturist is that when the farmer gets ready to buy the manufactured things that he needs he | sa is compelled to buy on the domestic mar- |» ket which is protected by a price-raising | tariff wall and is unable tobuy what he needs on the world market where he has to self his‘surplus crops. The reader should not overlook the fact that the tariff, .constitutes a subsidy. fo the manufacturer that is the direct re- sult of legislation passed by the _ United States Government. Therefore,.one finds it difficult to-shed tears over the prospect that the national government will pass legislation beneficial to agriculture. Never- theless, justification for farm price sup- ports and other legislation tending to inter- fere with the law of supply and demand is to be found in’ the tariff policy of the United States which is an indirect subsidy from the government and also, an inter- By ference with the law of supply and de- mand, H JUDICIA MONK DE FLORIDA.
