' "The Dilemma of the Surpluses
SECRETARY WALLACE of the department of agricul
ture, in his addresses about the country has displayed a
s genuine understanding of the problems of agriculture and
an engaging frankness in telling the people just what the
roots of the problem are. This same comprehensive knowl
edge and candor stand out in his annual report to the pres
ident which has just been made public. Mr. Wallace moves
t .directly to the issue when he begins hi3 report to the pres
ident which has just made public. Mr, Wallace moves direct
ly to the issue when he begins his report with a discussion of
"The Dilemma of the Surpluses".
He reviews briefly the tremendous price disparity which
has beset agricultural producers, in which farm commodities
had only, half their pre-war purchasing power. Fixed charges
like interest and taxes made no proportionate decline, so that
the average farmer after paying his expenses, interest, rent
and taxes had only about $230 to compensate him for his la
bor and- management. "The distress of American agricul
ture', he observes, "from 1920 to 1929 may be attributed
to the existence of unwanted export surpluses and after 1929
also to the weakness of domestic demand."
Our farmers greatly extended production in consequence
of abnormal world demand in war times. When the war end-
ed our plant was greatly expanded but the orders did not
come in. Foreign countries lacked wherewithal to pay ; and
this country adhered to its historic complex of a high tariff
nation. . v
Thus we find the secretary of agriculture coming to the
same cnclusion which The Statesman has iterated and reiter
; ated with almost painful monotony for several years. The war
changed our status from a debtor to a creditor nation but we
refused in the "Harding-Coolidge era to reverse our historic
tariff policy which would permit our debtors to pay us. They
could pay only in goods and we barred their goods by prohib
itive tariffs. Now we have kissed goodbye to most of the war
debts, and a large share of the .private debts. It may easily
be through our articicially depreciated dollar we may give
way so large a portion of our wealth that we will even re
store ourselves to a debtor status. Then we may wake up and
find we have "regained" an export market.
.To return to Mr. Wallace's report, here are pertinent
excerpts:
"The nation consequently faces a choice between two lines
of policy either it must modify its tariff policy so as to permit
a larger quantity and value of imports to enter the country or it
mast accept a considerable and permanent loss of its foreign
markets. ... Failure to recognize such fundamental changes
in debtor and creditor positions leads to political situations that
complicate the supply-and-demand equation. Theso situations
nevertheless do not override the law of r upply and demand,
which is remorseless in its operation. . . . This improvement
(since March 4 last) cannot last if we do not meet the problem
, caused by the fact that we have at least 40 million too many
acres of plow land in crops, in view of the international situa
. tion on debts, tariffs and foreign lending.
."The United States is a creditor nation with a debtor nation
psychology. The American people are still essentially high-tariff
. in their attitude. They are disillusioned about lending money
abroad and yet they do not wish to allow foreign nations to send
goods here to pay for our wheat and cotton and other exportable
commodities. It must be one thing or the other. Either ,we must
modify our tariff policy and perhaps, also our policy with regard
to international debts and foreign lending, or we must put our
internal economy on substantially a nationalist basis."
r That is the real "dilemma of the surpluses", a polit
" ical dilemma after all. Pres. Roosevelt deliberately chose the
nationalist policy when he rebuked the London economic
conference in May. Instead of proceeding along a course
, which would have opened up markets for our surpluses, he
chose a policy of economic insularity hoping by currency
manipulation to raise prices artificially. That however will
not solve the problem of the surpluses of goods that must be
consumed. Sec. Wallace has scant heart for the present policy,
for he says :
- "The alternative course (to a 'policy of tariff readjustments
n.-. 1 and renewed foreign lending) along which we are now moving,
: answers the need of the emergency but demands superhuman ef
A forts if it is to be permanent. With, the foreign market practlc
' ally lost, keeping down acreage and livestock: production . to a
'-.v.; point that would afford a living price level to the farmers would
be extremely difficult. It 1a necessary to balance our productive
' forces to a kind of world we want to lire In. We have not de-
cided what kind of world we want."
' ; - Note the secretary's words "superhuman efforts", "ex-
- tremely difficult". There is no mistaking his meaning. We
cannot expect the policy of plowing under every fifth row,
.'of slaughtering pigs, of letting acreage lie fallow to succeed
permanently.: The social cost of scaling down production by
40 million acres with the attendant concussions upon village
; and urban life in communities affected, on transportation
agencies and labor dislocated through lack of this production
to process and handle and transport would be colossal It
.'may be averted under a constructive program of reciprocal
.tariffs, bf restored and recognized medium of exchange,
which -has always been the gold standard, and of normal
' trade relations among nations which will permit honest and
reasonable lending and borrowing which are" essentials to
'.the economic development of the world.
; To our readers who may feel that our past criticisms of
- the-Roosevelt gold policy have been captious and partisan
nd "tory" we would say tkat we have persistently and cor-
s eiiaHy endorsed the po&y of lowered tariffs, which is proof
that we are not hidebound in our republicanism. Sec. Wal
lace is a republican renegade, it is true, yet he too plainly fa-,
vors-tariff readjustment and international trade rather than
. the sickening policy of destroying4 food surpluses in the midst
; of a hungry world.
The! important thing is for us to decide "what kind of
world we, want"; but the probability is that we shall make
no clean ;cut decision, and depend only on the readjustments
which may come through grinding and crunching of remorse-

KNAVE'S GIRL" ffi
CHAPTER THUtTT-ONB
Her heart beat clamorously: her
mind went back across the months
to BUI McGee. Someone had broken
in. Wat it het For a moment,
fright held her motionless. Then
she sprang from bed and snatched
at a negngee, Slipping Into the
darkened hall, she mad her way
swiftly, noiselessly, toward Haver
bolt's suite. She dared not knock.
She opened his door and whispered
loudly, -Julian, Julian.-
There was no answer. The room
was entirely black. The girl hesi
tated at the threshold.
Julian; Julian."
She stepped ever his threshold,
groped across his sitting- room to
his bedroom door. A light was
burning in the bedroom hot Haver-
bolt was not there. Had ha heard
the noise? Had he ventured denro-
stairs te Investigate? What was
happening?
She tried to convince herself that
there was a logical, reasonable ex
planation for his absence. It was
Julian whom she had heard. He had
wanted something downstairs. At
four o'clock in the morning? No,
that waa not possible. Something
terrible was happening. All at once
she was hysterically sure of It.
Suddenly she turned and started
for the stairs, forcing herself down,
step by step in utter darkness. She
had reached the last step when
light gushed from the living room
into the foyer, aa the curtains part
ed narrowly. Patricia stopped,
stopped dead at the sound of Julian
Haverbbtt'a calm, unhurried voice;
She understood everything then, au
at once.
Haverholt was saying, "This
way, my dear."
The girl on the stairs heard from
beyond the curtains another girrs
soft, excited laugh. Patricia whirl
ed. There was no time. They would
see her, they were bound to see her.
Instinct more than reason carried
her to the giant tapestry that hung
from ceiling to floor. She' darted
behind it. The dothy, dusty folds
closed around her just aa the others
advanced into the foyer. Stuffing
her fingers into her ears, Patricia
waited, longing to escape, longing
to be anywhere but here.
She was torn by shock and jeal
ousy and shame. So this was Julian
Haverholt. She had known his
reputation from the first. Now she
realized that she had never be
lieved those gossips' tales. She be
lieved them now.
With horror she recalled the day,
her own fluttered feelings, her half
yielding. She had been on the point
of surrendering to this philanderer
who had asked for her love in the
afternoon and who had satisfied
himself with her successor at night.
The bang of a door cut through
her misery.
"You may come out now, Patri
cia," called Julian Haverholt. Tm
alone now."
Patricia did not stir. She pressed
back and back against the waU.
The man himself crossed the foyer,
pulled the tapestry aside and faced
her. She refused to meet his eyes.
"After all," he aaid gently, "the
world hasn't ended."
She said in lifeless tones, Tm
sorry, I thought someone had brok
en into the honse." She lifted her
eyes now. They were lifeless too.
She said, "I should never have been
so naive, should I, Julian?"
"I don't know what you're talk
ing about," he said flatly. Tm
sorry if you were frightened. Bui
Tevis telephoned, he was drunk, he
needed money to pay a taxi bin. I
told him to come around, that's'

The girl ea the stairs heard f reaa beyond the certains
another girl's soft, excited laegh.
He was not lying to convince her.
He knew that she knew the troth.
He lied deliberately to save the
situation and both their faces. She
could pretend if she chose. By ac
cepting that lie she might salvage
her own pride and such dignity as
she could muster from the rains of
her regard for him.
She stared at the floor. A square
of lace and linen lay there, white
against the mellow green of the
rug. Haverholt's midnight visitor
had dropped her handkerchief. The
man looked down too. He stooped,
picked up the handkerchief and
thrust it in his pocket. His expres
sion did not change by the flicker
of an eyelash. He aaid nothing.
Suddenly the girl turned and fled
up the stairs. She slammed her bed
room door, flung herself prone no
on the bed and began to sob.
They talked it eat in the morn

determined to punish him for the
humiliation she had suffered, the
man, unwilling to diaeaas the mat
ter at all, self -controlled, utterly
unrepentant. There was no pre
tence now of a man friend who
had called late. SOU in Haverholt's
eyes the tragedy of the episode lay
in ratncia a appearance upon the
scene the night before. He blamed
her sharply. Very foolish of her to
start on a burglar-hunt, foolish and
unfortunate: yes, he would admit
it was unfortunate. He would ad
mit nothing else.
"What do you expect me to do?"
he asked, looking at her coldly and
remotely. "Apologise? Why should
I ? Why should I apply on my knees
for forgiveness? I'm a free agent."
"l didn't say that yon weren't
free."
"Tea are thinking It though. Ton

her cake and have it, too.
She felt cheap and bailed and
resentful. There had been soma jus.

Nevertheless, Haverholt had come
out of the situation with flying col.
