> I . « h /■ Heairj Burdens Pul oil ' Girls of Present-Day I know what a great harden la on the girl of today; and for all her apparent noo^alance, the knowa It, too. She must carry all the new re* apontibilities we can conjure op for her, earn her llring, and tom^ow restore and improve much of the charm that harsher feminists tossed aside. She must be able to earn her way, pay her own fare, mark her own bal lot, and yet have every quality of feminine companionship. She must meet the terrible competition of emo tion in the world today, which la worse than it ever was because of the early start It gets and the pro longation that both men and women now insist upon. If we had a safe, settled adult world to open to a girl. If we could promise her even a choice between a small Job and a good man's love. It would be different. But we are so confused ourselves that we cannot distinguish between the basic and the temporary. We know only this: that few of the dangers girls ever faced have been destroyed and new ones have been added. Sometimes it comes to me that a girl today has to know all that any woman ever had to know, except making soap and candles and spin ning yarn. And I think she could do those things if^they were necessary. —Margaret Culkin Bauning in Har per’s Magazine.

C., Thursday, January 4,1934 Kational Topics Intcrpjreted by Wdliam Bnickart Washington.—^The Roosevelt ad ministration suddenly has taken on renewed inter- 5«eh Trade est in develop- Q .1 . ment of bases for trade between the United States and other nations, and thus, for the first time, it seems to appear that a very definite trend has been set up to take care of our surplus farm crops and our surplus manufactured products. How far It will extend is a question that none can answer at this time, but the situation and the circumstance certainly constitute a factor that should be examined in a larger sense than piece-meal discussion be cause of the far-reaching effect that conceivably will flow from the course upon which the government seems to be traveling. International trade has been a subject about which too many high- sounding phrases have been grouped. Individuals in the Interior, for ex ample, were too prone to pass it by as having no effect on them, whatever their calling in life may have been. Such is distinctly not the case. It has a direct bearing on the success of a farmer as it has a direct effect on the success of a manufacturer. In each instance, the benefits or the damages flow on through the various lines of com merce and industry and into the lives of all. That is why, in my opinion, the trend that now appears to be developing is a matter of concern to the humblest laborer and of great consequence to the agri cultural areas of our wuntry. In a speech at the^ recent Pan- American conference at Monte video, Cordell' Hull, secretary of state, observed that "International trade is hopelesjsly clogged with prohibitions, embargoes!*^ quotas and other arbitrary restrictions," There- ution, he proposed concerted action to do away with titose barriers to trade among nations; ^ Secretary Hull oflrere<l several pruiHisItions to tliei statesmen as- semliled at Moatevideo and ini tiated numerous .discussions; pri vately along the lines of elimination of trade barriers.' But tlie secn*- tary talked about "multllaterul treaties," agreements lM*tween many nations, and ai>i>ears to be carry ing on-tliat policy. Here in Wash ington. however, we are repeatedly told tliut mhUilateral treaties are impossible of consurnniatlon. Pres Ident Roosevelt tlilnks that there are few p08sll)iiitie8 in tliat direc tion, and Tie is talking about treaties between pairs of countries. For ex ample, a commercial agreement be tween the United States and Eng land, or France, or tlie Argentine, or some other nation with which the United States engages In heavy In- ternatlonul trade. It is yet too early to tell wliich way we are hea’ded. likewise, none can foresee whetlier the bilateral agreements or the multilateral pacts will work to our iiest advantuge. Nothing can be more certain, how ever, than tlmt there will he a lot of discusslOo in congress as It gets under way, and 1 lielieve it i** equally certain that tliere will be a lot of debate by members of the bjuuse andjsenate who w ill lie w tiolly uninforfiied as to the meaning of their words. • • • Rut let us examine tlie two types of treaties. The multilateral agree- ui e n t obviously Two Typee contemplates <-nn of Treaties oo part of every na- tjoQ that becomes a signatory to It. but In reaching that accord the na tions figure out whut they can gain before they give up anything. Such a treaty runs smack into the long- . time policy of the United States. Our nation has always attempted to protect Its wage earners, its agri culture and its other industries ^against the products/of other coun tries where wages are low, where the standard of living is far below that upon which we insist. So mul tilateral treaties are regarded by our school of thought in this coun try aa a challenge to our national life. The bilateral treaty contemplates an arrangement whereby. If the theory is carried to an extreme, each of* the two countries paired in the agreement will seek to balance the trade In cc^mmodities. For in stance, if the United States and Poland were to agree on certain trade concessions and sign a treaty, purchases by Poland from the United States would be unrestrict ed so long as the American governr ment allowed ali of the Polish prod ucts to come into this country on an unrestricted basis. . That ia the theory. In practice I am told It would not, work out that way. To use Poland as an example again: it aeems tp be more than likely that Poland might say to the United States, .‘‘we will allow only •o much of the American purchases to come into our cp^ntry as wjll equal Ameri^q; ptfhJhases here." If that attitUM were assumed by I Poland and the Unltqd States I were to agree, our exports to Po land would have to bf reduced. Nor- t Bally, we ship to Poland almost fire times as much as we buy from‘Po land. ‘ ' * The effect is obviouii It would mean strahg^uTation of trade' hw- r :reo nations. On the other hand, there is that H)alance of trade Idea on which some anthoHtles rely to fo/ce open doors that are now parjRally closed. If Poland could be persuaded to buy more from the United States than has been the case, of course, the re sult will be advantageous to our side. ' • • • There can be no doubt that high tariff rates hold out some foreign ‘ _ products. That is Barred by the purpose. *rhe Tariff multilateral trea ties, It appears from explanations given me, will' cut down some of those rates, while the bilateral treaties may also strike the rates, but are more nat urally directed toward removal of other obstructions. Bilateral trea ties conceivably can t>« carried so far that the United States will be trading only with those countries willing to sign such agreements and limit themselves on the sources of supply. The natural assumption to b« drawn’ from the various aspects of the new trend, it seems to me, Isj that an attempt is being made to i get away from the high tariff pol icy which has been an issue bo- tween the Democratic and Repub lican political parties so many years. My own conviction is that it cannot be accomplished; that world conditions are such as to make It impossible for the United States to let down any harriers now stopping the potential flood of for^ elgn products, and that adoption of such a course will eliminate some 1 of our own institutions and make ! further Inroads Into what is' left t of agriculture. If one Isvwllllng to concede that i our nation, or the majority of its ' people, favor the protection policy, then I gather that the job to which most attention ought to be paid is tha^ of finding markets In this country for foreign products that <lo not conqiete, or do not s<‘rIouHly damage our ow’n economic struc ture. If attention Is given to that end. economists who are not indlt- Ically minded tell me that outlets will be opened abroad for Ameri can-made goods. We will have our coffee, our rubber, our bananas, our cork, and a score of other things, ^.and we will pay for them. So it Is with some other peoples. They will have our cotton, our tobacco, our canned fruit, and ,go on. and they are willing to pay for them. It surely is made to afipear, there fore. that the government Is not at- teriifitlng to Increase trade in on« way tliat It could he done, namely, help the foreigners increase their markets here for the things we do not produee, • • • Tliere has been" considerable ad verse comment aroused In Wash ington to the ac- Cehtralized Mon of the admln- tnformation In organ izing what ft calls a "mitlonal executive Council." Tlie Tresldent, in announcing for mation of the council, explained that there were so many govern mental agencies of nationwide scope that R swined advisable to formu late a program by which Individuals everywhere could go to a single center In their county and obtain Inforrnatlorv He pointed oij^ how wheat farmers or cotton farmers refjulred advice.on acreage reiljic- tlon prohleins, how the mitlonal re covery administration reached Into hundreds of cities and towns, how farm owners wanted to know’ how to proceed w’lth their applications to borrow under the farm credit' act, how home owners In small and large towns , would always have problems to discuss In connection with home loans, and various other phases‘of normal and emergency governmental activity. The Presi dent thought It was a fine move to concentrate in one place all Infor mation respecting these matters. • • • The row In the agriculttlfal ad justment administration that pre ceded the transfer , of C. N. Peek, administrator, to new duties in charge of export trade promotion apparently left an unpleasant taste in the mouths of gome farm lead ers. Reactions have come from various sections of the country. Representatives and senators, re turning from their homes for the new session, brought bark many blistering remarks about the fuss between Mr, Peek and Secretary Wallace and Assistant Secretary Tugwell of the Department of Ag riculture. Mr. Peek always has been Interested. In agriculture be cause it was his busings to be while, he was head of the great .Moling Plow company and other (arm implemetjt enterprise. But he apparently w’as unable Jo con vince Messra. Wallace and Tugwell that be was on the right track in the way he admliRttered the ad justment act Cb lisa. WMUrn M«wapsp«r Uslre. Latest in Skate and Ski Fashions i. GREAT NEED, SEEN IN THE TRAINING OF CHILD TASTE M ore than ever it is color of the most viv id, sortjiround which winter sports costume design re volves.

In that they are pro vided with all sorts of devices which add to their comfort and their wear- ablenesH.

Wi-atrin lUilun There seems to be no iinity of thought or actiou on whst is suitable for the rl^ildren to see and bear. One group advocates reducing Ut* erature and the stage to a statua where It Is safe for the children, an other is all for givink the children ' untrammeled freedom to see siSft read what they like. In one case the world would have to be adjusted to the moron, 10 the other, the undeveloped mind is forced .. beyond its capabilities. That there might be a middle way seems to have been forgotten. The lever of moron intelligence ia seldom over twelve years, and the prospect of making the artistic world safe for them Is appalling to the average adult. 1 Some eilucatnrs are aware of the dangers of a t«*o strong eihotional diet for the young. Some, nere and ' there, have studied the situation and instituted chlldren's days at movie houses and threters. Nearly every library has a children’s department, . book stores grade their children*! books according to age. But in sjiite oif all the effort which has been made, the children still flock to sophisticated plays and pic tures. still read the frank, often broad b<H»k or paper of the moment, until the chjef cry of the reformer la:L "We must censor!" Much of %hHt is written and pro duced is no doubt unnecessary and undesirable, but censoring merely drives it underground ami increases its danger. If we allow onr children unlimited license we 8|m»II the children. If we attempt to suit all twaiks and drama to their caivicities we ruin art. What we neeil far more Is to pay attention to the children’s develop ment, to k»‘ep track of what they are 8«H*lng ami hearing, and to start early to train their taste.—Brooks Deters Chtirch, in lndiana|toIis New.s. ^\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Vf, V r A\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\v \\\\\^ Cadsek^s CA-MI-CO Self-Rifting Flour . - *srv if a’ IMP SAVE MONEY • • • ORDER YOUR ROOFING NOW DIRECT FROM FACTORY - FRtlOHT PAID SAVE MONEY ... it is easy to order Your Roofing Direct from Our Factory and you keep in your own pocket the profit others would get.
