Television Prospects
A survey made by Colliers' Weekly, printed in the cur
rent issue on the prospects for television at popular prices,
holds out little prospect for realization in the near future. It
will evidently be a long time before television comes into
the realm of every day life.
A practical television set that works perfectly is now in
use in Camden, N. J., but it represents an investment, includ
ing research and experimentation of more than $4,500,000.
It is.a triumph of science but having perfected the laboratory
invention, the scientists are indifferent to its commercial
ization for practical use which is a problem for mass produc
tion and big business.
Transmission of pictures is entirely different from
transmission of sound, which is a comparatively simple mat
ter, as sound sets do not become obsolete, while television
sets do. The latter must be perfectly coordinated with the
transmitter at the broadcasting station or they do not work.
Within a few years, perhaps standardized transmitters and
receivers will provide satisfactory television, though any
material change in the system, due to new discoveries will
render all the receivers inoperative.
Cheap and practical television would probably upset the
present radio set-up, its programs and advertising ballyhoo.
One can hear a radio in any part of the house, and sometimes
neighborhood, but television demands the eyes of the observ
er be fixed on the pictures automatically reducing the audi
ence. Nor will people be content to view advertising scenes.
To stage a theatrical or operatic costume production will cost
far more than vocal rendition
the advertising. It is likely
movie picture industry, for why should one pay to see in a
theater what he can vision and
Liquor
In refusing to establish additional agencies in the city of
Portland the Oregon liquor commission at its meeting here
Tuesday took a further important step toward more effective
control of the liquor traffic in the state, chiefly through re
striction of the most vicious influence for evil in the business
private profit.
Portland, with a population of 350,000, has nine state
owned and operated stores one for each 87,777 persons, or
practically the same average
of the single store in Salem.
In addition the commission already operates 29 agencies
in Portland, which with the nine stores give that city a liquor
service outlet for approximately each 9,000 of population.
Paying commissions averaging 10 percent of the gross sales
price to these agents, the commission is sacrificing from
$2,500 to $3,000 a month in profits on business that would
otherwise be done by the state stores with little or no added
expense.
The greatest evil in the agency system, however, is the
lack of proper control exercised by the commission over sales
the absence of clcae supervision over distribution. There
is practically no means by which the commission can enforce
7s regulations stn -tly through
Proper control over the
more important to the people
aggregate business and profits.
this control should be the commission s first aim.
Autos Reflect Better Times
The return of better times is indicated by the increased
sales of autos and trucks, the output of which bids fair to
break records the coming year. One reason for this is the
growing obsolescence of cars, but unless purchasing power
was increasing, the old cars would be continued in use.
Records of the secretary
October Al, 297,075 automotive vehicles were registered, as
against 276,420 on the same date in 1934, and 244,498 in
1933, a gain of 21 percent.
Operators' licenses in force on the above dates were
825,964 in 1985, 240,311 in 1984 and 186,256 in 1938, and the
secretary of state estimates that there should be approxi
mately 425,000 registered operators, indicating that at least
100,000 persons are driving vehicles without licenses. All
of which indicates that a thorough check-up by state police
is needed to round-up the evaders.
On October 31, there were 269,953 passenger cars li
censed, 643 busses, 27,121 trucks. The fees from passenger
autos totalled $1,375,030 and those from trucks $801,790, the
total being $2,176,820. This compares $1,979,943 at the
same date in 1934 and $1,806,645 in 1933.

Chanter Seven
ALONE
To Anne, fresh from the emo
tlonal turmoil of the previous hour
It was peaceful Inside the car. The
rain slashed at the windows, the
wind howled around the hood. She
looked expectantly at Rob. Would
n't he make some explanation of
his anger at her father? It seemed
he wouldn't. He wasn't even curv
ing his arm about In pillowed rest
for her head, but was tapping the
wheel nervously.
"Anne," he barked suddenly, "why
did your father decide to go back to
Portland tonight?"
"Why Rob, I dont know."
"Think, did he receive a wire at
the hotel, a long distance message or
anything?"
"No, but one might have come to
the cannery."
"Didn't," returned Rob, "Tom
checked there. Well, let's get back.'
Hurt, Anne sat In the far corner
of the car seat. They drove In ell
ence until they caught their first
view of the Farnsworth house. Anne
looked up in surprise; It seemed
every window was gleaming wltn
ugnt.
"I wonder what's going on?" she
ask of Rob as they drew up be
fore the veranada.
At the sound of their brakes, the
front door swung wide, throwing s
carpet of yellow light down the stair
way. Lee and Tom Parley stool
there In overcoats. Mabel, hanging
to Farley's arm, was crying. Sharle
wns screaming hyaterleaUy.
Rob Jumped out of the car and
opened the door for Anne. Then
above the rush of wind and patter of
rain they heard Sharlee cry out
"Anne, your mother Is dead and
Uncle Luke Is dying."
Anne reached for Rob's arm. It
wasn't there. He had rushed up the
steps. Alone she stood, rain pepper
ing down on her bared head, spat
tering the coral frock where the cape
fell open.
Someone was talking, she must
listen. "They drove off the third
curve on the crest. Service station
below heard the crash. They tele
phoned here because Lees name was
on the registration card. Luanda
died Immediately. Mo hope for
Luke."
Shock Is an anesthetic. Looking
back from the time numbed
curity of years, Anne was to realise
this. Now, whUe her Intellect grasp
ed the meaning of the tragedy, her
emotions failed to respond.
she saw rod hurry back down the
steps, place an arm around her and
lead her up to where the family had
Knotted into a group of staring eyes.
For a moment the sobs were stilled
in expectancy, then Charlotte Farns
worth stepped forward. "She didn't
hear what Sharlee said," the woman
declared, "Rob, make ftnne under
stand that her father wrecked Lee's
brand new car, kUled Lucnlda and
may be dead himself, by this time."
Anne s mind recorded these three
facts, then she heard a shrill laugh.
She looked around In surprise, Shar

people for nearly two decades. This
summer brought the first opportun

with some difficulty that I crossed

Mabel, her fat face puckered, seem

"This Is no time to laugh," snap
ped Charlotte.
Anne stared at her, and up from
years of secret malicious Insults at
the hands of this woman Welled
hatred. In some unreasoning way
she blamed her for the tragedy.
If It hadn't been for Insufferable
pride, her father and mother would
not have been forced to sit through
that family dinner. They could have
gone on Immediately and crossed the
grade In semi-daylight, before the
core of the storm had burst.
"Sae," came In triumph from
Charlotte Farnsworth, "Just as I told
you. She cares nothing for either one
of them, she never has. Time after
time I've noticed It. . . and Lee's car,

Anne broke from Rob's arms and
charged forward. "You would think
of your car before you could think
of anything as precious as lives,

"Anne, Anne quiet, girl." Rob
caught the hands which struck
wldly at the livid face of Charlotte
"Quiet, she didn't mean it that way.
She meant your father wasn't aocus

drove too fast and the motor froze,
that happens In new cars. Maybe the
steering gear was stiff and didn't
respond on the sharp turn."
Anne stared at him mutely. Why
hadn't she gone with them?
"Well, aren't you going to cry?
demanded Sharlee Indignantly.
- "Cry?" repeated Anne. She tried
to draw a deep breath. It caught

No," Ann whispered. Luke was
telling her that her leg was frac

n't faint, they stuck their chin out,
squared their shoulders. He was
going to need her to help him.
'Courage, Anne, high courage," he
said.
Anne Farnsworth squared her
shoulders, thrust out the soft white
chin. The room came Into focus.
Rob," she turned to Crocker,
"take me to Daddy quick I"
"Miss Anne, oh. Miss Anne. You
say I should call you at seven o'clock.
It Is now seven."
Anne stirred, then burrowed her
head into her pillow. It took courage
to open her eyes.
As long as she could keep the
sight and the outside world, she
could pretend that when the barrier
lash-fringed barrier between her
did lift, she would find that world
as It had always been. She could
pretend that she would hear her
mother's voice with its teasing,

"come down and have coffee with
us, lazy."
When she opened her eyes she
would know those two voices had
been stilled for all time.
At least her awenkenlng would not
be all sorrow. She'd find some gift
of flowers from Rob, placed where
her opening eyes would find It, by

first Journey Into Old Mexico. Stop
overs and sldetrlps added to the In
terest of the Journey, I did not fol
low the path of tourists, guided by
government agents. I went to Mexi
co to meet the people and see their
conditions, not to be entertained.
It is quite Impossible in one ar
ticle to describe In detail the experi
ences of weeks relative to Religious
Liberty or to give the opinions of
Americans and Englishmen on this
subject who have lived in Mexico
for many years. Let me Just make
the statement that there Is no Re
ligious Liberty In Mexico for at least
ninety per cent of the people nor Is
there Political Liberty for most of
the Mexican people in the sense that
we understand these terms In the
United States. There Is a lot of
paid propaganda to the contrary,
of course, and they say the world Is
ruled by money.
President Rooevelt said. "I de
cline to permit this Government to
undertake a policy of interference in
the domestic concerns of Foreign
Governments and thereby Jeopar
dise the maintenance of peaceful
conditions." I Just want to give two
of many instances described to me
by Mexican people of education and
influence which disprove the asser
tlon of rir well-meaning President.
A prominent attorney in Mexico
City said this to me: When the
Church and the State had their
troubles In 1828 the bishops refus
ed what they considered Impossible
demands of the State authorities
under the dictatorship of Calles
Perhaps the bishops made a mis
take as far as the general good of
religion was concerned. In 1927 your
Amabssador Morrow came as a hope
for a better understanding between
the United States and Mexico. Mr,
Morrow realized the seriousness ol
the state-church conflict in Mexico
and interested himself in finding a
solution. In this activity we know
now that he was urged by the sad
economical conditions of Mexico and
the Mexican Government official;
as well as his own respect for Re
ligious Liberty.
With the Influence of Ambassador
Morrow meetings were arranged be
tween Father Burke of the N. C. W.
C, Archbishop Ruiz, and Mr. Calles
The result of the meeting was that
the cathoito Hlerachy accepted
rather vague promise of the Mexi
can Government represented by
General Calles and Portes Gil, and
opened the churches of Mexico with
instructions to the clergy that they
should obey the new official Inter
pretation of the offensive Mexican
laws. The Mexican Catholic laity
and many of the clergy doubted the
wisdom of the action by the bishop;
They remembered the words of Bis
hop Diaz in 1937, "Eventually right
win triumph In Mexico as It always
triumphs. It will not triumph
through a compromise that in Its
very nature bears the germ of cor
ruption." The Crlsteros, who felt
that they were on the verge of vic
tory, were especially loud in their
protests against the agreement,
. The Mexican attorney went on to
say that the Mexican Catholic bish
ops would never have accepted the
Indefinite promise of a faithless
Mexican Government had It not
been for the active part taken In
the conferences by the Ambassador
irorn the united States, Mr. Mor
row.- Because of his participation
the Mexicans felt, with some Justl
fication, that Mr. Morrow would al
so use his Influence In persuading
the Mexican Government to actual
Iy grant the Religious Liberty Im
plied in the conversations during the
conferences. My Mexican friend
went on to tell about their surprise
when Mr. Morrow entirely Ignored
the flagrant violation on the part of
the Mexican Government of all
promises made or Implied. Not only
did Mr. Morrow fail to protest again
st the violation of an agreement in
which the Mexican people consid
ered that he had been a partner
but Mr. Morrow publicy went out of
his way to associate on Intimate
terms with the men who were send
ing Mexican citizens to their deaths
because of their religious convictions,
This explanation of the Mexican at
torney here briefly summarized was
a surprise to me, yet I could not
deny the facts he stated.
A second Instance where the
United States Government interfer
ed In the domestic policy of Mexico
according to the Mexican people is
this: General Calles, who has now
been discredited among practically
all the people of Mexico, gave his
notorious talk about the aims of so
cialistic education. In that speech
Mr. Calles said that the Socialistic
Government must take control of
the consciences of the children, etc
Our present Amassador, Mr. Dan
iels, saw fit to refer to this speech
In glowing tribute. The Mexican
people feel very bitter about an Am
erican Ambassador publicly, endors
ing the man and the policy that
has been their oppression. They feel
that our Ambassador, by his repeat
ed actions has given public endorse
ment in the name of the United
States of the men and legislation
wno are oppressing their aspera-
tlons for Religious and Political Lib
erty. As one Mexican said: "Does
the English Ambassador travel about
the country repeating the speeches
ox caiies, does the French Ambas
sador do so? The American Ambas
sador. Mr. Daniels, has done so. Are
we not to understand by that fact
that the Government of the United
States Is supporting the Government
that Is oppressing us here In Mexi
co, a Government that has never
been elected by the people, and a
Government that Is violating the
most sacred rights of the people by'
persecution of their conscience."
The Mexican people as such feel
very kindly towards the American
people. This Is quite a change from
the days when Mr. Daniels, as Secre
tary of the Navy, sent the American
battleships to Vera Cruz. As a non-
Catholic attorney. In San Louis Po
tasl. put it, "Our Government Is
fooling your Government and nei
ther you nor we as a people csn do
anytnmg aoout It.
Anyone visiting Mexico and reallv
attempting to learn the opinions of
tne people win una that the pres
ent Government Is oppressing the
Religious Liberty of ninety per cent
of the population. There is no such
thing as Political Liberty In Mexico.
The 40,000 students of the Mexican
universities and colleges have been
making a desperate but rather hope
less fight for Educational Liberty
It is too bad that the Government
of the United Statea should be so
misrepresented in a country that
has ao much of a spiritual herltags,
of real culture, and of economic
possibilities as the country of Mexi
co.

News Behind
The News
By Pan! Halloo
Washington, Nov. 21 An un
noticed but breathless pause in the
breathing spell occurred at 8:40 p.
m. last November 14 Agriculture
Secretary Wallace spoke at that
hour on "matters of gravest national
Importance."
His words were mild. His Ideas
were hinted In the form of academic
theories. Consequently, only the
schooled technicians In and out of
bis audience at the academy of po
litical science. Columbia university,
may have caught the full force of
what he appears to have been driv
ing at.
Piecing It together with Mr. Wal
lace's latest depressing book and his
other recent speeches, the economic
experts have concluded that Mr.
Wallace Is groping his way toward a
more definite program of new plan
ned economy than the left wing
dealers have been generalizing
about heretofore. It may be known,
for convenience, as the Wallace plan.
Theory The way the economists
condense the theory into under
standable language Is this:
The trouble with Industry is that
it is protected by unnatural tariffs
and monopolies against, natural pro
duction and natural prices. During
depressions, industrial prices do not
drop appreciably. Tho only thing
that happens is tnat piuuuu,,.w.i
stops, causing unemployment, until
manufacturers can again get their
desired price.
The AAA tried to protect the far
mer against that system by also lim
iting production and by maintaining
an unnaturally high price for his
products. But that system Is wrong
for the farmer as well as for Indus
try. What should be done Is to create
a free-flowing 6ystem for both. Ev
eryone would then bo required to
produce continuously: Thus every
one would also buy continuously.
Products would be sold for whatever
they would bring, except that there
would be a ceiling beyond which
they could not be lifted. No tariffs,
no monopolies. Just all producing,
and all consuming. .
Meanings Certain foremost econ
omists here have grown dizzy, or
dizzier, trying to find out what this
would mean In terms of practical
application. '
Obviously it would require com
plete reorganization of Industry. The
Germans could send in their steel
for trl-borough bridges; the steel
companies would have to make roll
ing pins or lace ruffles Also it might
require government supervision be
yond that generally discussed here
tofore. It would certainly necessi
tate strong policing by someone.
Furthermore, It Is hardly probable
that a good start could be made
toward such a goal on a national
istic basis, without world coopera
tion.
The only hint Mr. Wallace gave
about starting tills Ideal world was
the suggestion that council on
general welfare be created. He would
have this council conduct referenda
on economic issues and steer the
economic course of national admin
istrations, no matter which political
party happened to be In control of
the presidency. (Note Mr. Wallace
would retain the democratic system;
also a constitution).
Guarantee Only one conclusion
in all this groping theory can be
fully guamateed. It 1 that Prof.
Tugwell la only the aileron on the
left wing now. Mr. Wallace is the
strut and fabric
It would seem to be safe, how
ever, to advise industrialists that
they need not hold their breath un
til Mr. Wallace's plan is worked out.
There may conceivably be a new
deal move to take the monopoly
words right out of Senator Borah's
mouth. Also, the Canadian treaty
indicated that some progress Is be
ing made toward tariff reduction.
But the alacrity displayed at the
White House In moving to prevent
repetition of the German steel
incident was hardly In line with the
Wallace theory.
Also, Commerce Secretary Roper
is still making ''breathing spell"
speeches.
Feint No one at the white House
broke down and bawled when Father
Coughlln broke with the adminis
tration the other Sunday. Official
comment was not offered, but there
was some private comment indicat
ing a light-hearted attitude. One
caustic associate of the president
suggested that the famous radio
star might have been fishing for s
pat on tne back.
The basic fact seems to be that
Washington authorities do not re
gard Father Coughlln with as much
terror as at this time last year.

There are reports on the Inside that

Pleasantry There seems to have
been an Inner misunderstanding
about Mayor La Quanta's speech at
the conference of mayors. He has
used his stock phrase, "semi-colon
lawyers of the new dealers," In ev
ery speech since the memory of
New York newsmen runneth not to
the contrary. But the boys here had
not heard it before, played it up.
They did not realize that, in the
next paragraph, Mr. La Guardla al
ways praises Messrs. Hopkins, Ickes
and all the names he can remember
here.
The answer to Mr. La GuRr's
relationship with the new deal ap
parently is that he auc on
lotment board and got all that was
coming for New York City.
Note Mr., La Guardla virtually
admitted in his speech that he has
no hopes or intentions of. re-election.

Q. Will birds be poisoned if they
eat insects which are poisoned when
spraying trees? E.B.X.
A. The Bureau of Biological Sur
vey says that as a rule there is no
danger to birds from insects which
are poisoned by spraying trees. In
sectivorous birds rarely pick up
dead Insects, but choose live ana
active individuals as their prey.
Furthermore, the number of pois

up under adverse food conditions
would hardly contain enough poison
to constitute a lethal dose. It is only

"I hope I haven't delayed you
from your food walk." ;
"No, growl, growl, you haven't,"
they shouted up to him.
"I suppose we shouldn't do Mich a

"I suppose not," said Honey Bear.
"It's a wicked thing to do," growl

excuses to herself that it would be
all right to take some Jam. She
knew her plans were wicked ones.
