Member Audit BureAU Circulation Teiepnone - The Paradox erf the New Economic T TNCLK SAM-S efforU to help IJth tArmer by plowing cotton, limiting wheat acreage and killing evral million hogt la economically unsound and moral ly wrong. That, at any rate, la the verdict reached In a resoiu tlon adopted by the Ohio Metho dists' recent Ute conference. It la A rerdlct that A whole lot ot people wiU Accept. No part ot the recovery program tee mi more contradictory than thla destruc tion ot the raw material for food and clothing at A time wbca mil Uona of people bar neither enough to eat nor enough to wear. Tet It la a contradiction that la not peculiar to the farm program. It He at the very heart of the capitalist system, and It involve the fundamental conflict between production for use and produc tion for profit. The whole recov ery program ia simply an attempt to settle that conflict. It doe not take much thought to enable one to sea that destroy lng cotton, wheat and pork when millions are in need ot clothing and food is precisely similar to letting great factories ile idle wben millions need the things that those factories can maka. It it Is absurd to reduce agricultural production, it Is equally absurd to reduce Industrial production. The farmer Is as much a cap! tallst A the factory owner. It the factory owner cannot be ex pected to produce more than peo ple will buy at a price which yield a profit neither can the farmer. Bat stating the parallel in this way doe not really get ua Any where. It simply show how tun damental these objections to the farm program are; how far they reach Into the very essence of the structure of capitalism. For it the farmer ought to keep on raising wheat and cotton and corn and pork even though he connot do It profitably, so long as there are people who need tbese things, then by the same token tbe Industrialist ought to keep his factory wheels humming so long as there are people who need the thing he make, whether they can pay his prloe for them or not. And about the time you begin ad mitting that, yon find yourself wading In very deep waters. The best thing about the whole farm program, perhaps. Is that It makes this moral clear to na. It may work or It may not wblle we are finding out we are going to get an education, and our fu ture steps may well b taken In tb light of the lessons we are learning right now. Something to Say for Caution twttHEN you are considering the W apparent slowness of tbe ad ministration in getting It vast public works program under way, tber are one or two llttl sub sidiary points tbat ought to be taken Into account. First of all. jobs of this kind are, In tb very nature of things, low In getting started. You can't begin a big construction job over night. The mere physical work ot getting set on blueprint and de signs, getting estimates and con tracts, arranging for supplies ot material, and so on, take time lots of It. A certain amount of delay la inevitable under even tb most Ideal conditions. Secondly, there Is tb possibil ity of graft and extravagance. Haste makes waBte nowhere eo much a In government spending. This tremendous spending pro gram could easily develop tb most monstrous governmental 8 scandal In all our history It ex treme care war not taken. W want it kept tree from graft, and graft I apt to slip in If the thing I don too fast. Saving a Man from Hi Friend HB.noB.ni nuutbtt dux have a deep fellow feeling tor the man who remarked tbat ne could take car ot hi nemle If only someone would protect htm from hi friends. Tber la, for example, that friendly Boaton hotel man who uti that Mr. Hoover, while presi dent, privately favored repeal ot tb 18th intendment. Although publicly be did not. Tb Bostonian evidently said this with th notion that he was coming to Mr. Hoover's defense. Actually he waa doing Just th re verie. Th politician who go coun ter to his privet conviction be cause h believe he will get votes that way 1( not a pretty creator. It la ironical that thla accusation should be laid agalnat W. Hoo ver, not by an enemy, but by a friend. And the mass of Ameri cana will probably want something more In th way ot proof before they believe It. Promising Figure From Labor Secretary. THERE Is A good deal ot en couragement In the moat re cent figure on employment and payrolls, as released by Secretary ot Labor France Perkins. Al though Mlsa Perkins properly warns as that "this Is not the time to throw hat too high In the air," It remain true that an employment gain ot 750.000 In the month ot August, accompa nied by an increase ot $12,000. 000 in factory payrolls, can prop erly be classed aa extremely good news. Perhaps th best part ot It is that payrolls are beginning to in crease taster than employment. Tbat, Quite obviously, means In creased purchasing power for th Individual man. and forecasts A continued bustneaa revival. For It buslneaa I to revive the ordinary consumer haa got to spend more money; and he can't spend more if he doesn't get more. Every extra dollar in the wage earner'a envelope is an ad ditional stepping stone back to ward prosperity. Legal Bootlegging With Repeal, THE pending end ot the prohi bition era seems likely to bring a few surprises for some of u who aren't entirely familiar with the ways of the liquor trade: For example: ames M. Doran. O. S. commissioner of Industrial alcohol, points out that the na tion' stock ot properly agod whiskey Is today only 4.000.000 gallons; but be adds that as soou aa repeal Is In effect this can be Increased to 60,000.000 gallons through a process ot rectification And rectification. It seems, 1 Just a business, of mixing good liquor with grain alcohol to make halt a doxen gallons grow where one grew before. It Is, In tact, a scientific word for the bootleg ger' old stunt ot "cutting" his whiskey. , In our Innocence we had always supposed-that this "cutting" was a villainous and" 'reprehensible stunt. Now It seems that It la a fine scientific achievement. It la all very confusing. 111 if4fi f'VAf A n -....- 11 r.t . - u at mTjtf stf i y WASHINGTON New Behind th New Tb Inaid Story Pros The Capital By PAUL MAIXOM Copyright, 1SS, by Paul Mellon WASHINGTON. Sept. IS. A sweet little sugar deal haa been cooked up backstage by th rep resentatives of that Induatry. It Is so sweet that the administra tion haa been holding It back. State Secretary Hull haa beau hiding It in hla desk for days, hoping nothing would leak out. He I quit sure Cuba would find It unpalatable, because It pro poses to treat Cuba In very unrefined way. Also there I some question as to what tt would do to the dear old consumer In th United Statee. Unquestionably the administra tion will make a few alterations In It before it leu It see th light ot day. e e ALLOTMENTS Thoae who have peeked Into Hull' deak say tb agreement often the following production allotments (In short tons): U. 8. beets. 1,750.000 (fin tor domestic growers). Cuba, 1.700.000 (bad news tor Cuba). Philippines, 1,100.000 tor three years (better than th law al lows). Hawaii, 175.000; Puerto Rico. S76.00, and Virgin islands, 16.- 000. They say an additional section was added to appease Cuba. It would set up a sugar reserve corporation through th R. F. C. With government money this cor poration would buy needed addi tional Cuban augar (about 100. 000 the first year; 200.000 the second and 100,000 the third). Cuba will hardly smile at that. This latter provision also Is one which Agriculture Secretary Wallace la aupposed to be an noyed about. He la interested In the consumer angle. The agreement shuta off im portations of Cuban reflued sugar above 150,000 tona a year. (We have Imported as much aa (00, 000 tons of refined each year). Also it provides a minimum price for producers ot sugar, but says nothing at all about what shall be charged the consumer. Apparently the conscience of re finers ia to be the guide, PROSPECTS Some way will probably be found to iron out the bad spots and provide a good marketing agreement before long. f Whatever Is done, Cuba la bound to get tbe worst ot It. Tho domestic industry must be pro tected. It can only be done at tbe expense of Cuba. Therefore the matter may be kept In the background until the political situation down there I more quiet. OPEN MARKET Tbe innermost banking circle hear that federal reserve pur chases of government bonds this week will Jump up to J100.000. 000. Tbat Xwill be a real move toward aubstantial credit Infla tion. Purchases so far have been running around 136.000,000 weekly. Tbey have brought no appreciable results. It is quite possible the larger amount will also fail to make mor banks loosen up. At any rate It will ahow th ad ministration conclusively whether that method of credit stimulation Is any good.

Christian Science "Reality" waa the subject of the lesson-sermon in all Churches ot Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Sept. tt. The Golden Text was "Behold. I create new heavena and a new earth; and the former eball not be remembered, nor come Into mind" (Isa. 65: 17). Among the citatlona which comprised the lesson-sermon was the following from the Bible: "I know that, whatsoever God doeth. it ahall be for ever: nothing can be put to It. nor any tblng taken from It" (Eccl. t: 14). The lesson-sermon also Includ ed the following correlative pas sagea from th Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "To grasp tbe reality and order ot being In its Science, you must begin by reckoning God as the dlvln Principle of all that really Is . . . There Is but on primal cause. Therefore there can be no efect from any other cause, and there can be no reality In aught which does not proceed from this great and only cause" (pp. 275, 207).

BY RDIIKIIT TAU.EV NEA Service Writer They say tbe ghost of Fran cisco Plsarro, who wrested Peru's rlch-s from the Incas, still stallh through tbe grim old government palace at Lima where he ruled 400 year ago and where he died with an assassin' daggar In hla heart muttering curaea on those who broke the ancient grip of Spain on the rich country be dis covered. It 1 merely an Idle supersti tion of Illiterate Peruvians, per haps, but sometimes superstitions have a queer way ot ringing true. And thla seems to be such a case. For In the hectic century that baa followed Peru' liberation from th Spanish yoke, numer ous presidents hsve risen swiftly to power only to fall at suddenly to disaster and In the past three years one hss languished and died In a dreary dungeon and another haa fallen before an assassin's well-aimed bullet. From Presidency to Prison In tb whole history ot turbu lent South American politics, there Is no more dramatic atory than that of tbe aged President Augusto B. Leguta who was over thrown by a revolution In Au gust, 1930. Two yesrs before Legula had been host to President-elect Hoover wben tbe latter visited Peru on his South Amer ican tour. At one end of Lima' broad Jlron Union la th government palace, It ancient walls pock marked by the bullet . of bygone revolutions, where tor .11 yesrs Augusto Legula ruled aa Peru's soft-spoken but heavy-handed dic tator. At the other end la Peru'a na tional penltenttury. with its mas sive doors of burnished coppel where the withered ex-presldenl was confined for nearly two years until death released him. a Defied Firing Sund Legula a lite outrival those of the fictional cbaractera in O Henry'a colorful stories of Latin Amerlcsn revolutions. Before him, Legula' father had fought In the armies of Simon Bolivar, South America' liber tor, tor Independence from Spain. At an early age Legula entered politic and In 1808 ht waa elected president of Psru for tbe first time. Tbe new executive had bardl) begun hla term wben a revolu tion broke, he was drsggsd from the palace by a mob and paradm. through the streets and placed before a firing aquad bsneat.i Lima' great equestrian statue o. the famed Bolivar In th Plata da Independence. There, with rifle trslned on him, Legula received tbe alternu tlve of signing his resignation or receiving a ball of bullets. H did not flinch and he did nui sign. He beld hi captors In ar gumsnt until loyal troops cam tu his rescue. e Exile Then Dictator He returned to office, but li. 1013 th tide turned (gainst bin. gain and h wa first Imprlt oned and than exiled. He want u New Vork and peddled lit Insut sncs for a living. Then In 191U hs rsturned to Lima to drive an other man out of the palace b meana of t revolution and regain It for himself. From tbst day until August 1)30, Legula was dictator oi Peru. No other South American ruler lurpassed him In undisputed power; he ran thlnga to suit him self, somewhat like hla lllustrlou, predecessor, Plszaro, whose bod 1st In a glass coffin with th fine staple cotton of the Andes stuffed Into the dagger wound that end ed nls reign. Hoover arrived In Lima on his good-will tour and waa feted at th palace by thla thin, old man who held Peru in the hollow of hla hand, e Depression Htlrs Revolt In 1030, after 11 year of un disputed power, came Legula't downfall. The w o r I d-w I d depression which had reduced Peru's exports want to play football." to a mere trickle, halted the reve nue theee exporte bad formerly brought, threw thouaauda out of work, and fanned popular dis content to a flsms. Also, there were rumblings that the old dic tator bad grafted' enormously on public worka progruma and plunged bis country hnpcleaaly Into debt by becoming the paid tool of scheming Wall Street banker. Revolt broke out. President Legula was forced to resign by sn army Junta headed by Gen srsl Manual Ponce which, In turu quickly wss brushed aslds by Lieut. -Col. Ssnchea Cerro, leail. r of the revolutionary forcea In the south. Cerro became provisional president amid rioting and geu eral disorder during which mobs sacked and burned Legula' pala tial realdence. a Jailed and Forgotten Legula wa placed aboard a warship and atarted for exile. A sudden chsnge ot plan by the government resulted In tbe war ship being recalled to port by wireless, and Leguta was Impris oned In the old national peniten tiary at the other end of tbe street from his former palace. The charge against him was treason. Thtr, nntll death released him In February, 1032, Legula wa confined like a felon, forgot ten by all except hi Jailers jw I ii (' amtfiiiU m Dally he listened I the slleaos uf narrow cell for tb rluir Of a revolution which would re store him to the palac, but It never mm.

He died pro testing his Innocence as thla final statement attests: "At the moment when perhaps I am railed upon to appear before the Divine Tribunal and when I have placed my anul In the hands ot God, the oue source of truth, I wlah to declare tbat 1 am guilt less of the crimes, enrichment and extravagance, of which I have been accused with an Injustice that cries aloud to heaven. , .
