TEACHING NEED FOR COOPERATION
The thought is widely expressed that the most encourag
ing factor in the agricultural situation is the steady, sustained
growth of the great farm cooperative organizations. As they
enlist more members, and make their influence more widely
felt, their battle for stable markets and better pries auto
matically approaches closer to victory.
It might also be said that a lesser-known phase of coopera
tive activity is almost as important as this kind of work,
and gives equal cause for encouragement. That is the work
the co-ops do in educating their members and the general
public as well. They seek to lie agencies of economic informa
tion, as well as Imyei's and sellers of commodities and their
influence in this direction, as in the other, is always widen
ing. Cooperative lenders have demonstrated to the thinking
public that fair and profitable prices for agricultural products
are an essential of recovery generally that bringing back
the farm income to a normal level would be a major step in
bringing back the urban income. The American farmer con
stitutes trie greatest single market for our factory products,
and no one can profit if his buying power is dormant.
The cooperatives, in brief, are showing the nation that all
our citizens rural and urban dwellers have the same
interests and the same problems, and that better times for
one means better times for all.
ON THE CONTRARY
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal reveals that
prices of seats in the New York Stock Exchange are going
up again. The last recorded sale was made on .May 23, ata
price of $9ti,(M)0; since then, the Journal says, "asking prices,
are 'way up in the air'." and the range of seat prices this
year has gone as high as $190,000.
Now all this, to an outside observer, would seem to be 'n
pretty good answer to Wall Street's complaint that the new
stock exchange legislation and the truth-in-securities bill are
going to ruin everything. People don't buy seats on the
Stock Exchange unless they figure that they are going .to
get theiy money back through profits made in trading. If
the new legislation were going to cripple the security markets
half as much as some of Wall Street's anguished cr-ies would
make one Mieve, these seats would le selling today at a dime
a dcraen.

Labatt rested In London today at
the home of tils brother. Hugh, ex
hausted and nervous but unharmed
after his 65 hours In the hands of
the gang. Labatt was released, an
authority here believes, because the
kidnapers suffered a case of "cold
fret."
A relative of the family discounted
rumors that Hugh Labatt could have
paid the ransom- Hugh was reported
to have obtained the money from a
branch of the bank of Nova, Scotta.
"As a matter of fact." said the re
lative, "the bank was closed when
he ww supposed to have got. the
money.
Attorney-Oeneral Roebuck made the
following statement concerning La
batt 'a kidnaping: '
"He was blindfolded and had been
continuously blindfolded since the
time he was taken. He was left In
the vicinity of Forest Hill village,
from where he took a taxi to the
Royal York hotel (where Hugh await
ed him.) He was Immediately carried
from there, by his own friends, in a
car to London.
"At the time of his capture, he
drove around for a time which he
estimates at 13 hours. He was in
Ontario all the time. He has no
knowledge of having passed over any
water.
"There is no hot trail of the abduc
tors. It Is most unfortunate that the
police forces of both the province
and the cltv have been verv seriously
handicapped in their work by their 1
Inability to secure complete control
of the situation."
