Germany, then, was ready to accept most of these Items but th. one. ah. was not ready to ac cept were In some w.ys th. most Important of all. At that point ot time the dawn ot 19 IS Germany's rulers telt it wiser to stake everything oa a last offenelv. rather than to aurrender on those crucial points. Similarly, th. Allied leader, pre ferred to go on with th. war rath er than to recede from their orig inal demands. THOSE decisions were a death sentence for hundreds of thousands ot young men. They brought elTiliiatlon measurably nearer to collapse. They pared th. way for those Injustices In th. Versailles treaty which today arc a tremendous menace to world peace and world stability.

TOO Mt'CH CREDIT IS BAD SECRETARY OF COMMERCE KOPEK'S sssertion before th. National Association ot Credit Me. that unwarranted credit ex pansion Is "an eroslT. Influence" which must be eliminated before real prosperity can be restored is a Tory timely and valuable warn ing. It could be argued very plausi bly that a leading reason for the collapse of our laat boom wac the fact that too many people had been persuaded to live beyoud their means. It waa too easy to go Into debt, too easy to buy something now and pay for It next year; nations, corporation! and Individuals all Buffered, and still suffer, as a result. Billions ot dollars worth ot foreign bonds, sold In those easy credit years, are today practic ally worthless. Many a business and many a person would have come through the depression la fairly good ahape it It had not been for the load of debt that had to be carried along. All this doe. not mean that the right kind ot credit should not be available. It aimply means that we shall pile np new troubles tor ourselves It we go bsck to the slipshod, free-and-easy wars ot the past. Editorials on News (Continued From Page One) producing less, who cut prices and alash wages when others 1b their line want to. maintain both fair prlcea and fair wages, must be taken in hand by the govern ment and MADE TO BEHAVE. THAT la a big contract. It puta the government Into business in a way that government haa neTer been put before In thia country, and It means big changea In our ways of doing things. Probably we won't like all these changes. But If wages are to be main tained Industry must make a profit, and if Industry as a whole is to mske a profit It must be protected from the selfish greed ot the nnscrupulous few. Who Is to do that but the gov ernment? Who else CAN do It? e 'TWERE waa a time when the strong right arm ot the Indi vidual waa the only law. That condition existed for cen turies, end it brought TERRI BLE sbuses. In time, these sbuses became unbearable, and ao soci ety organised iue'f to restrain the unscrupulous individual. That Is to say, law and order, which mean subjection ot the will ot the Individual to the wel fare of society as a whole, came into being. It was a revolution ary Idea, but It WORKED, yllE Idea of restraining the nn acrupulona Individual in busi ness la no more revolutionary than was the Idea ot restraining the unscrupulous individual in society.

Under igm lisp mm A CHANCE TO PLAY JfV:' WASHINGTON NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS e The Inside Story From The Capital e e e e e By PACI, MAI.I.OV '(Copyright. HIS. by Paul Mallon) Shhhh! WASHINGTON, July I Yon must whisper and act mysterious ly when you speak ot "Th. X." It Is a secret council Mr. Farley haa eatabllshed to bring order out ot the pitronag. chaos. II la th. innermost circle ot all Inner administration circles. Th. rule, are just Ilk. those ot a college fraternity. No one la supposed to know It exists. Those who do know, would not dsre to tell the name, of the council men. The secrecy la supposed to protect "Tba X" against congress ional and other preaaure. The name la appropriate be cause there are about ten mem bers. Also because th. council ia a publicly unknown quantity. If you do not tell anyon. It would be safe to disclose to you that moat ot the councllmen are cabinet members. The postmaster general la Mr. X himself. In seata nearby are Commerce Sec retary Holer. Attnroey General Cummlnas and Secretary of In terior lckes. Each government department la represented by someone, not necessarily a cab inet officer. There la at least one outsider, an adviser whose name has rare ly appeared In print. He la Emlle Hurja. U political exrwrt. who can most timea be found be hind the chair that Farley sits In. e e e Impolitic This may sound like foolish ness to you oft-hand, but there la plenty of sense to It. The sdministration haa been hpping from jam to jem on thia patronage business. Msny close friends ot the democratic' family are bleating behind their handa about It. For Instance Col. Donald Saw yer started administrating his public works setup ss it he thought Mr. Roosevelt bed been elected for life. He actually started picking englneera out of an engineering who'a who. In some cases straws were drawn. In a northwestern state the straw fell to an engineer for a group ot electric power compan ies. It so hsppens thst the new democratic aenator from the state waa elected on a piriform built almost wholly on opposition to those same power companlea. You . can Imagine what the senator said to Mr. Farley and Col. Sawyer. It could hardly be printed. see Strategy A certain congressman had been working on the navy depart ment for weeks to send a de stroyer to the Fourth ot July celebration in hia horn. town. The chamber of commerce later Joined In the move, writing a letter to the department. The department finally acceded. But in making the announcement it addressed a letter to th. cham ber of commerce Instead ot the congressman. His name waa not mentioned. He received no credit whatever. "The X" la supposed to avoid such difficulties. Hereafter each democratic congressman will be given pub lic credit toy what he geta out of the government. No appoint ments, even of engineers, will be msde In his stste without con sultation. "The X" haa a secret chart. It shows 70 congresslonsl dis tricts which the democrats might loglcallv be expected to lose in the elections next year. These 70 are normal republican dis tricts carried by the democrats In the landslide last year. The congressmen from these districts are being favored with appointments wherever possible. The far-sighted point Is to build up a strong democratic or ganisation in this ter.tory ao as to maintain democratic con trol In the next congress! Advertising There Is no good resson why Otto Kabn and Prosecutor Pecora wen shown to be leughlng across the committee table In those plc turea recently released. Pecora told one off the record the New Industrial oa th. International hanker. H. said he had heard Kahn waa one. walking on the lower east side and saw a elan over th. store of a Jewish clothing mer chant. It read: "Nathan Kahn, cousin of Otto Kahn." The sign burned Kahn up. He went to hia lawyer and aald: "Make that merchant take the algn down. You can give, him p to five thousand dollars to keep him quiet, but mske him tskc It down." A few weeks later Kahn waa walking In th. same neighbor hood and looked to ee. It the algn had been removed. It had. In Ita place waa one reading: "Nathan Kahn, formerly cou sin ot Otto Kahn." Refusing to affirm or deny the yarn, Kahn told another one on himself. He said he made a speech in England after the war. He admitted that be apoke In hia usually strong German ac cent, but waa smaxed to find the English newspapers the next dsr atatlng hia speech bad been delivered in a "French-Canadian" accent. It aeema the papers were reluctant to call it German. The best story on Kahn la the one about hia faux paa on bonds. While testifying he started phil osophising about bonds. He grew very eloquent. He likened a railroad bond to a "tender plant." "It must be nurtured." he said. "It must be watched." Politics The root of the Snell-Farley budget debate le In the public debt. It Increased about three billions Isst year. It will In crease about the aame thia fis cal year. That la the extent ot actual inflation ao far. Also the extent to which the budget Is being winked at. Snails attack and Farley's de fense were purely political and not academic. The truth aa usual lies about mid-way between. Some of the best Roosevelt strateglsta betlev. Farley made a mistake In answering Snell. It put him In the position of ac cepting the republican Issue. They believe it would have been bet ter to Ignore the attack. Notes This Fti-ler lystem of long range political planning la an artistic derelopment far beyond the hlt-and-misi ichemea pre vailing here In the past . . . Moat ot the 70 contestable con gressional districts are in tba middle west. Only two or three are In tbe south ... It la far too early for any political pro phecies on the next election. All will depend on the outcome of economic rehabilitation measures the administration la now press ing . . . Statistically the demo crats could lose all 70 of the hut neata and still control the house 240 to 187. The ex-republlcan Irkea Is playing far closer to Farley on patronage matters than you would Imagine . . . Very close relations have been established between them alnce Ickea first jumped off the reservation and started making appointments without regard to Farley's wishes. Gov. flprague received a salary at the rate of $40,000 a year from the Bank of England for establishing the managed cur rency setup ... He left It to work for his own country In the iTfi capacity at 110.000 a y r . Codes Lakt County School Board Start Work I.AKEVIEW. Ore, Charlea D. Arthur. Roy Perry, Robert Weir, George B.

SKI.VKS (Portland Or.gonlan) Th. 1'nlt.d States having un dertaken to effect Its own eco nomic recovery by reliance on Ita own re-.ourcee with the leaat practicable aid from foreign ma terial. It le timely to consider to what extent we are economically aelt-contalned anil to -what ex tent w. must depend on other countries. Much light la thrown on thia aubjeel by an article pub lished In the Manufacturer Rec ord. Although It waa published In 1927 and production of all commodltlea haa decreased great ly alnce that date, there la np reason to believe that American production and consumption In relation to world production and consumption have much changed. Aa to msny commodities there is a close parallel between our shares ot the world's production and consumption. Ot lumber we produce (0 per cent and con sume 49 per cent ot the world's production. Aa to coal tbe cor responding figures are SS anil 17, coke 44 and 44, Iron ore 63 and is.

Import ot almost, In aome In stancea quite ail of our con sumption ot some commodities Is necessary to Industries which consume our own raw materials. Such ar. rubb.r, of which w. consum. 76 per cent of th. world's output, tin, manganese, ot which we produce four per cent and consume 35 per cent of the world's production. Among articles ot food we Import all our coffee, tea, cocoa and tropi cal frulta. We produce only four per cent of the world's sugar, but consume 25 per cent. There are so many ev: ntiol materials of which we have, a surplus and which other nations must have that thy would be foolish to Impose heavy dutlea: they Impose protective duties on msnufactures, as do we. T'te United Slatea has placed on the free list raw materials and foods, which we do not produce. The most hostile tariff policy would hardly apply to exporta of these materials. Sine, the World War the United States has established new industries which have rend ered us independent of other natlona aa to several Important commodities. We formerly de pended on Chile (or nitrates; we now have an Industry capable of producing more than our entire consumption. We formerly Im ported all dyea anil producta ot coal tar from Germany and al most sll ehemlr.L; we now have a broadly developed dye and chemical Industry. Surgical and optical Instruments wore Im ported from Germany, and the blockade caused a famine of them. The Industry has been built up In America. We are still dependent on the Kurcrcan cartel for potash, but clcpislts In the southwest are being ex ploited which may sup"lv sll our needs. Though w. need some things from other natlona In order to round out our domestic supply ot msterlala and food, other na tions are In at least equal need of certain commodltlea from na. With this degree ot Bid from abroad th. United Slates could effect Ita domestic recovory with out reaard to the eon"-1" tnnale In which Europe has become in volved. Our exporta may be ad versely affected, but a large pan of them la necessary to other nations, so that we should not lose nearly the entire seven per cent of our production. We should prosper better it we had the broad market of the world, but we can live unto ourselves until the world comes to Its senses.
