Seeking a few J week* if t after his arduous Inborn j ninoe his inauguration vn March -l,j the I'i esident felt it necessary t??! leave "unofficially" at the helm some-, one in whom he could place implicit trust and whose wide Know edge of governmental and international af-j fair.% would guarantee a straight j Hi coring of the Ship ot Slate during his absence, and he picked for that job Hainan! M, Haruch. Honors alter honors have been heaped on Mr. Haruch during the past two decades, but all of these honors have been most Mehly deserved and have resulted m>m highly distinguished, unselfish, patriotic service. He has never sought political proferment, but in ?very time of stress since he has come into prominence his wise v Counsel has been sought and his wide knowledge) of affairs and great executive ability have been utilized by our government time after time. No greater honor could come to a man than to be chosen by our great president to represent him at such a time us this in the conduct of our own! governmental affairs and in the guid-r ijig ?,f our representatives at the Lon-'1 don conference. President Roosevelt know hi- man and made no mistake in pn kbig Harney Har uch.

COST OF LIQUIDATION ___?- I t \V. H. Hell, former Monroe citizen, ; hut now associate editor of, the Union < Republican at Winston-Salem, pays J his respects to busted banks: "Theri^ must be a lot of Jega^ work done in connection with the winding i up of the affairs of busted banks in i North Carolina. Under command of j the legislature, Clurney P. Howl, com-! I missioner of banks, has been ordered < to file a list of attorneys fees paid i for settling the affairs of the closed ] banks in this stiRe and we'll tell thoj; world that some of these lawyers are < getting well paid for their work. The. j liquidating agents jobs too are not to < ' I>e sneezed at. In many instances tho.i final settlement of the affairs of clos-; i-d banks have been stretched out un-. til there is nothing left for the de-M jmsitors or the stockholders. In one; \ instance the salaries of the liquidat- < ing agent and employes amounted to i more than the amount taken in and ; in another instance the fee of a law- ; yer for one little closed bank was t _i\in at $.".(>0U.

The number visiting Washington is remarkable. It has been shown that during the Spring approximately 10,(KM) touring tars have entered the city weekly. The number staled is in uecordatieej w itil an estimate based upon an nc?| tual count during specified periods. Congress adjourned late Thursday j night, after having enacted practiettl1> all of the legislation contemplated by President Roosevelt and the Democratic leaders. Never in history, in i^ny country, within such a limited period has there been disposed of such a mass of important, drastic and unprecedented measures as was handled during the special session Just closed. The volume is too great to be reviewed in. this column. It is largely experimental, and designed primarily to restore prosperity. Only within .'the nox^,<?e-wWftBths can it be ascertained definitely how the program is wording or whether it 'bids fair to succeed generally or largely. The general hope and belief is that at least some degree of prosperity is now not very far around the corner. In fact a marked improvement has already been achieved in the price of agriculture! products. Only one European country, little Finland, made payment in full on the liftienth instant of the debt installment due then. Some, including l imine, defaulted entirely, while oth rs including (Ileal Britain paid only i comparatively small amount of the installment. The matter is liable to' ause trouble in the future. Congress i las definitely expressed opposition to j ancellation or reduction of the debts, I md the general sentiment of tho country at large seems to be along the same line. Secretary Wallace, of the Department of Agriculture, estimates that sifter steps are taken to increase the price of wheat and cotton under the law recently enacted, tho additional ost of a pound loaf of bread .should not be greater than approximately a half cent, and the extra cost of a <hirt should not exceed two or three cents. No one could in reason obiect to that. If greater cost is passed on to the consumer it will be evidence' of profiteering. In the event of a deplorable catasrophe whereby there would be a ,'acaniy in the presidency, two Southin men would be in the line of succession. John N*. Garner, of Texas, is vice-president, would come fiist, md next in order would be the Sec reft ry of State, .Cordell Hull, who hails 'rom Tennessee. The law provides br the succession of cabinet members,. ommencing with the official just indented. if there should be vacancies n both the office of president and icc-president. This contingency has lever arisen in the history of the Jnited States. At the coming trial of Bishop ames Cannon upon tho charge of iolating the corrupt practices act ne of his attorneys will be Levi H. )avid, who was raised in Columbia, le has been located for a long numer of years in Washington, whore he ttained marked prominence. For a ime he was associated with Charles L. Douglas, another South (Carolina awyer, who has made a high mark ere. Mr. David has been mentioned <>r United States Attorney for the >istrict of Columbia, but there are o many being urged for the position hat it would be difficult to predict he outcome.

Washington, America'* bllUon-dolfur. Import trade could ho cut to Just six vitally necessary article*. out of the myriad type* of goods which How Into this country each year, only a half do/en are at solute uecessit ics which have no substitute produced at Imme. which could not l>e ' I >!'i M J11 en I here or which tire not illj'cji'lv produced in this country. 'I hes4? six articles, listed hy itio I'niled Stales I >epa.rt meiit of Colli- j ineice, are platinum, tin, tuanlla, sisal, kapok and rubber. In 1931, the latest year for which detailed figures aro a v a I la hie, they made up only U per cent of Uncle Sam's total bill for Imports. If America's importations were suddenly reduced to t^>se six commodities, cotton, the most important export," could pay for them all twice over. Coffee, Tea on List. Another ten articles which cannot he produced here or for which no substitute can be produced are listed by the Commerce department as only senil-necessltlea. They are coffee, teft, cocoa, camphor, cinchona bark, cork, opium, cloves and pepper. Cataclysmic upheavals would truns* form American economic and social life If Imports Came to Include only the unproduclble necessities or even the seinl-necessltles listed by the department. But It could he done. Commerce experts have sorted out not only the products which America must have, but also those now being Imported which could he produced domestically under favorable price conditions, which .could he replaced by American substitutes and which are partly produced, at home already. Together these categories, which | embrace only 00 tu t ides In all. are j half of the skeleton of American for- j eign trade. Altogether their cost In j 1931 did not make up more than bG per cent of what the United States actually spent on Imports. The other half of the skeleton is the ten leading American exports, cotton, petroleum, automobiles and other vehicles, Industrial 'machinery, tobacco, fruits and nutrf, grains, nonferrous and nonpreelous tnetals, and coal and related fuels. They are the goods bringing (he most money, In the order named, Into this country. If foreign trade were suddenly cut to the skeleton, If America bought only the GO commodities on the Commerce department list and sold only the ten types of goods nov^most largely sold abroad, she would still have had a $280,000,000 favorable balance of trade on the basis of 1931 figures. Economic maturity stealing upon Uncle Sam is revealed in the two lists, the one of Important exports and the other of vital imports.- America Is no longer a young country pouring out bounteous raw materials In exchange for manufactures. Two of the leading exports, automobiles and industrial machinery, are manufactures. 'All Are Raw Materials. Imports tell the same story. All of them ar?> raw materials and most of them, not being -native, would have | to he bought regardless of the conn- I try's economic age. Others of tin* essential imports, however, disclose the exhaustion or outstripping of natural resources known as economic middle age. For instance, America, the land of lush forests, must Import pulp wood. None of the six absolutely irreplaceable Imports?platinum, tin, tnanlla, Bisal. kapok and rubber?ever havd been produced in this country, however. They play a very small part In America's actual Import business. Most costly Import on the department's whole list Is sugar. It Is classified as a necessity which we import but which we also produce in some measure at home. Silk, a semi-necessity for which American products could be substituted. commands the second largest import business among the articles listed. China, Japan, and Italy ship it into this country. Coffee, an irreplaceable semi-necessity is third in Importance, ami newsprint, a necessity produced In part at home. Is fourth. Taken together these four imports made up exactly a third of the money spent abroad for imports during 1931. Tbe\ ?
