To The Rescue
WASHINGTON, March 22. The ad
ministration had the Idea at first
that both aides were bluffing In the
automobile- strike Issue.
Its private Information, for Instance,
indicated that the labor unions' had
just about one-third of the enroll
ment atrength they claimed. If that
waa true, the unions were In no posi
tion to strike.
. Nevertheless, the bluffing became
00 realistic at the last minute that it
was obviously getting out of control,
The unions had real grievances and
something bad to be done for them,
i Two thinga were needed: A decision
F In the Weir ton steel labor case and an
Appeal to the automobile union heads
Jrom the president. These were deliv
ered in the nick of time within a few
hours of the time set for calling the
strike. .
Action
As soon as Wall Street saw those two
moves. It ran stocks up two and more
points within twenty minutes. It did
not await the response from the union
chiefs before boosting prices. The fact
that Mr. Roosevelt invited the union
m was enough for the marketeers.
That was a remarkable spontaneous
display of confidence in Mr. Roose
velt's ability to work the situation
out.
The Welrton announcement was an
other exan-.jle of perfect timing by
Ing the cast around for months, it de
cided to act at the moment the de
cision was most needed.
No one can yrove It, but of courae.thc
department got lta orders from the
White House.
Reality
, This new stock market bill Is the
real one.
. It will be enacted Into la-w before
V the end of this session without muh
more modification.
-e--'"rhe"rjest proof that it -is-a fairly
Rood bill Is the fact that both the
liberals and the wall Streeters re
disappointed in it. One liberal close
ly associated with its preparation
threw up his hands after It was an
nounced and said nis enorts in puo
lie service were over forever.
The Wall street objections ere most-
ly noise also. The marketeers helped
boost stock prices in connection with
the automobile decision the very day
the bill was announced.
Margins
Absurdities in the original stock
market bill have been almost entire
ly eliminated in the new measure,
without sacrificing strong control.
One feature may cause trouble.
Wall Streeters say the high margin
requirement will encourage violent
fluctuations. They contend sincerely
that margin buying cushions the de
clines and moderates the upswings
They may be right, but no one will
attempt to defend margin buying on
Its own merits. It has none. It means
playing the market without the mon-
I ey to do it. It means nuying swcks
without the money to pay lor mem.
Fundamentally, It Is not a sound idea.
Most disinterested non-partisans
exree the change la worth a trial.
At any rate It will be tried whether
the wall streetera want It or not.
Mutiny?
The administration will see to It
that the market Relation bill' la
psssed by the house substantially as
It atattds. However, It may encounter
trouble from Its own right hand mar
ket man, Ferdinand Pecora, when the
bill gets Into the senate.
' The whisper is going around that
Mr. Pecora Is dissatisfied because the
bill left out many of hia pet reforms.
He has a close working alliance with
a few senators who are planning to
load the bill up with Pecora amend
ments. Quicksilver
The Dies sliver bill does not amount
to much. Its powers are purely per
i missive end may never be used. At
least, not unless the administration
wants to use them.
For that reason the administration
did not try very hard to stop the bill
in the house. Indeed, there are inner
indications that It encouraged Speak
er Ralney to bring the bill up.
The bill It wanted to block Is the
Fleslnger silver bill, which proposes
to do big things. Its passage would be
really eerlous.
That Is why the Fleslnger bill did
not -come up for a vote.
Chances
The administration's smartness may
be all In vain. The senate Is getting
ready to pass a Fleslnger silver bill or
something worse In lieu of the Dies
bill.
That means the allver Issue rr.ay go
to conference between the senate and
the house. In which case the house
sllrerltes would back down swiftly and
let the important bill go through.
It Is a possibility, but only a vague
one. The administration can block the
legislation in a dozen different ways
if it cares and dares to do so.
Notes
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau bad
ly timed his shot sending Prof. Rog
ers to China. It was meant to be a sop
to the house allverltes who were Tot
ing that day on the Die bill, but it
I came too late. Also the move was
':iitly too obvious to have any rcil

IRRIGATION HEAD
TO SAVE WATER
A program for utilizing all "flood
waters" now available for crop pro
duction was announced today by Gen
eral Manager Olen Arnsplger of the
Medford and . Talent Irrigation dis
tricts; to the end. that the use of ir
rigation' storage water' be delayed as
long as possible.
Orchard Ists of the two districts were
advised to turn ' under their cover
crops, cultivate and exercise all pos
sible care to cut down the waste
water.
In the Medford district all possible
flood waters of Bear creek are being
used at the present time to fill up
the ground with moisture for future
use. Manager Arnsplger thought the
ground would hold moisture for two
months, "If soaked and cultivated.1
In the Talent district, Manager
Arnsplger said "the flood water sup
ply Is nil." He advised these growers
to turn under the cover crops, and
cultivate extensively, to retain any
moisture.
In the Medford district. Manager
Arnsplger said the flood waters would
be used as much as possible for the
riext week or ten days, after which It
would be used for Irrigation of gar
dens and alfalfa.
Conditions applying to the Medford
district also apply to the Rogue River
district.
Manager Arnsplger said the Idea
now, was to get every drop of water
poMlble into the grounds, in order
that the storage water would .not be
drawn upon until July.
Prospect of irrigation water for late
crops like tomatoes, were classified by
Manager Arnsplger as "slim."
At the present time, Fish lake and
Four Mile lake, storage sites for the
Medford district are three-quarters
full. Hlatt Prairie and Emigrant dam
supply sources of the Talent district
are about one -third full, Manager
Arnsplger said.
The altuation would be benefited
by a rainy spring. A trace of rain-fell

back and forth over the regular route,
in constant radio communication with
Mendoza and Santiago.
Other expeditions were sent out on

passes. In an effort to determine the
fate of the fliers.
The ship carried six passengers and
three crew members.

our cousins are doing in the
way of toting tho mail: "Lon
don, March 16. Tho British
postoffice showed a profit at
tho end of this fiscal year, end
ing February 1, of $70,000,000.
Last year $57,000,000. Tostof
fico profits are applied to the
reduction of taxes."
We lost $150,000,000 a year.

jharge for a letter, paper or
crate of eggs what it costs to
carry it, be it by plane, boat,
train or mule, and charge accordingly.
