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.

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.

Mra. Mattern has been one of the
few persons w.ho have not given up
hope for the intrepid flyer who cross
ed the Atlantic and was lost on the
dangerous Asla-Alasksn crossing In
his round-the-world flight.
"Jimmy alwaya haa the faculty of
taking care of himself," Mrs. Mattern
said.
FREEPORT, III, July 7. (API
Mrs. Caroline Mattern exclslmed:
"Thank God for that I" and then wept
today when told that her son. Jimmy,
had been found alive in Siberia.
But he ssld she hsd been sure
he would be found.
"I was confident all the while,"
Mrs. Mattern said, "that Jimmy
would turn up in some remote place.
He la too resourceful not to be able
to battle the elementa safely. 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."

ROGERS
BKVERLY HILLS, Cal., July
6. 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.
