Temperature NE V SAFE Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS IN tha newspaper of a few years go, on the day alter the Fourth' of July, we read of deathe and in Juriee aa a. result of firecrackers. Now, on the Sth of July, we read of deaths and Injuries a long and tragic list of them as a result of the automobile and the modern high way. nrHE fourth of July may have be- 1 come aaner, but any fair-minded observer must agree that It HASN'T become any asfer. SPEAKING of the Fourth of July, It was on July 4 m, that this country, then an Infant, declared Its independence of England. On the eve of the Fourth of July, 1933, this country, under the dlrec tlon of President Roosevelt, declared its Independence of European diplom acy, and asserted bluntly that If nec essary it would paddle Its own canoe in the future. W1 fe have been celebrating this first declaration of Independence for a. long time, and with good reas on. Because of cutting loose from England, we are now the first power In the world. If we sre wise, we shall celebrate also. In the future, the SECOND dec laration of Independence. . Running our own affairs, without asking Europe's permission, would be be something worth celebrating. FOB years and years, we have been going Into conferences with rep resentatives of the shrewd and hard boiled and cynical nations of Europe and coming away stripped to the skin, We have been the big-hearted friend from overseas, who" wanted nothing for himself, and was anxious only for world welfare. The cynical diplomat of Europe have seen to It that we OCT nothing. This time it was different. We went Into the world economic conference to et what we wanted or come home and go it on our own. f UROPE wants stabilisation of cur- - rencles. President Roosevelt says flatly that we will NOT stsbillse- wlll not, that Is, until we get good and ready. Immediately stock and commodity markets soar. Whr? A-k 1IBLL, the answer Is reslly quite f T simple. Refusal to stabilize indicates the determination of the Roosevelt ad ministration to go forward with Its program of price raising. If prices go on rising. Industry will be more prosperous. If industry Is more prosperous, stocks will be worth more. Realizing this, the speculators BUY. H rIS refers to stocks, of course. As to commodities, It Is ap parent that if the price raising pro gram Is continued successfully they will be worth more a few months hence than they are now. The speculators, foreseeing that al so. BUY COMMODITIES. With more buyers than sellers, the price goesi up. IT Is buying by speculators 'that A sends the price up. Speculation, you know, is supposed to be WICK ED? Is It? That question Is hard to answer. But lets not forget thst for the past three years there has been no specu lative buying. With no speculative buying, because people have been afraid to take a chance, prices have sunk to the lowest lever ever known, and business has stagnated. So It Is possible, you see. .that even speculation has Its proper place in business. A FTER all, WHAT IS 6PECULA- A noN? It is buying low In the hope of selling high. And what Is buslnesa? Isn't it buying at a lower price and selling at a higher price? At least, those who don't sell high er than they buy go broke. "pHE speculstlon that hurts Is that which la OAMBLINO. pure and simple. There ha been far too much of that. NEW YORK.

I T Brief Message Sent out From Anadir by Round-the-World Flier Has Been Unreported Since June 14 By The Associated Press Jlmmie Mattern, world flier given up for dead by all but a trusting few, is safe in Siberia. Prom the little trading post of Anadir brief word came today of the safety of the aviator who disappear ed June 14 while making the first solo flight around the world. Tile good news was dispatched by the flier himself, relayed across the wastes of Siberia to Moscow and sent 'on from there to his homeland. "Cafe, Anadir, Chukotka. Siberia," the message read, and It was signed "Jlmmie Mattern." Wire Ever Hopeful Mattern's wife on the west coast i had never lost her fslth that he was still alive. Neither had his mother in Preeport, 111., nor his backers In Chi cago. The unwavering hope of this little band, of persons was shared by the United 8tates coast guard. When Mattern's announcement of his sBfety was received the coast guard in Wash. ington disclosed that ever since the flier disappeared while on the way from Siberia to Alaska, the coast guard cutter Northland had been searching Alaskan waters for him. Word was sent to the Northland of Mattern'a ssfety. Coast guard officials expected the cutter to be in touch with the. filer shortly. Onlv One MessaRe Only one message wbs received from Mattern, and that had taken two days to be relayed to civilization so that no details were known. It was not determined whether he crashed or was merely forced down or how far he had to travel to reach.the tit' tie trading post from which he sent his messsge to the world. WALLA WALLA.

Now I'm the happiest woman In the world!" In her moment of rejoicing, she remembered the rescue expeditions starting out from the north Pacific coast. "Couldn't we stop those boys from going out to rescue Jimmy?" Mrs. Matte, n asked. "We must stop them before they go Into any danger." TEP.RACE. B C July 7.

Now Europe is saying that they didn't get so sore at what Mr. Roosevelt said as they did the way he said it. You see diplomats have a thing they call diplomatic language. It's just lots of words and when they are all added up they Jon't moan anything. Well, on account of the president having something to say and wanting to say it, there is no diplomatic lan guage for that. A diplomat has a hundred ways of saying nothing but no way of saying something, because he has never had anything to say. That's why they call 'cm diplo mats. I have always said that s conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody a chance to get sore at every body else. Sometimes it takes two or three conferences to scare up a war, but generally one will do it. I'll bet there was never a war between two nations that had never con ferred first. .
