hearing from these as soon as they
have contracted. This would save us
sending new applications out.
The contributions for the Education
al Exhibit Hall are coming in nicely
and plans are being made to start the
erection of the building in the very
near future.
POLITICS SHAPING AGAIN.
Republic-Bulletin: There can be
little doubt that President Roosevelt’s
political honeymoon is conning to a
close. The final hours of the Con
gress which recently adjourned, gave
abundant evidence of this. On several
occasions the Congress, though over
whelmingly democratic, actually got
out of hand and there is little doubt
that the administration leaders
breathed a sigh of relief when the cur
tain was rung down on the special
session.
Another evidence of the end of the
era of good political feeling may be
found in the fact that the republicans
are beginning to bestir themselves and
talk about the congressional campaign
next year. The opposition party is
watching very closely the trend of
events at London. It is preparing to
“jump on’’ any proposed agreement
which would mean entangling engage
ments for the United States, an in
fringment of American sovereignty
or a reduction of the tariff to a point
where American industry would be
still further handicapped by cheap pro
ducts from abroad. Just at this time
it seems likely that little will be ac
complished by the conference, which
might turn out to be a good thing both
for the country and the political future
of the democratic party.
The republicans, however, will not
confine their ammunition to inter
national issues as was evidenced by
the recent statement of Rhpresentative
Snell, minority leader in the house.
Mr. Snell obarged that the democratic
promise to reduce governmental ex
penditures 25 per cent and balance the
budget had passed "into the realm of
forgotten things.” He said that fed
eral expenditures had been doubled
rather than leduced and declared that
congress “appropriated more money,
levied more and heavier new taxes
and authorized a larger bond issuu
ance, calling for heavier annual in
terest charges, than any congress in
the history of the United States—
with the single exception of the con
gress in session during the World
War.”
Taxes have been greatly increased
rather than reduced, he charged, and
in addition, he added, more than eight
and a half billions in new bond issues
had been authorized with annual in
terestcharges of a quarter of a billion
dollars. Mr. Snell added further that
instead of reducing expenditures, new
activities had been added calling for
new outlays of nearly four billions
and he charged that the national bud
get is now more out of balunce than at
any time in the history of the country.
In order to bring about an apparent
balancing Mr. Snell charged that the
administration is keeping tw’o sets of
books one for an “ordinary” and the
other for an “extraordinary” budget.
He added:
“Tricky bookkeeping, devised to con
ceal from the public the real financial
condition of the government, may suc
ceed in its purpose for a brief time,
but it does not pay off the debts. It
does not stop the strain on the public
credit. It does not stop the increase
in interest charges. It does not halt
the upward march of federal taxes.”
In conclusion Mr. Snell said:
“Whether or not the measures en
acted by this congress fulfill the hopes
of those proposing them is a ques
tion which time alone can determine.
If they prove successful their very
,Success is the vindication of their
wisdom. But if they fail, let it be
said that they failed, because they
were economically unsound, rather
than because they were unwisely ad
ministered.”
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating thereof. The administration
will have to stand or fall on the
results of its program. The congres
sional campaign next year is going
to be an interesting one.

UNCLE SAM’S PULLING POWER
I Republic Bulletin: While European
■ , .—
| diplomats are barking at London be
j cause the United States does not agree
! to submerge her national interests for
' European benefit, it is interesting to
| note that since March, because of the
! rise in the price of certain commod
! ities, foreign countries have increased
1 their purchasing power on four items
' alone in the sum equal to forty per
| cent of our total manufactured exports
in the year 1932.
The American Exporter points out
that the actual increase in the price
of rubber alone between March 1 and
June 15, plus the estimated increase
in consumption indicates that the
countries which grow rubber will de
rive from the American market an
increased purchasing power in the
American market of nearly fifty mil
lion dollars in the year 1922. The rub
ber producing countries will of course
benefit through the increased world
price of rubber, but it is not to be
forgotten that the chief benefit they
derive will come from our own country
which uses 94 per cent of the rubber
I produced in the world.
The Exporter in estimating the ad
vantage of China and Japan in the
American market because of the in
crease in the price of raw silk, states
that this increase in the value of silk
exported to the United States will
give China and Japan an additional
purchasing power of over $116,000,000
in our markets. The advantage which
Cuba will get because of the increased
price in sugar is over $40,000,000 and
of tin nearly $50,000,000.
All of which indicates that in sugar,
tin, rubber and silk, four of the raw
commoditieswhich Uncle Sam imports,
the producing countries will benefit in
the sum of more than $256,000,000 be
cause of the increase in the price of
these commodities. Nobody doubts
that the principal reason for the in
crease is the change of business psy
chology in the United States. Uncle
Sam is the greatest consumer of these
raw materials, and of many others.
When he is prosperous he buys them
in increasing quantities and the whole
world feels the effect. Yet for purely
selfish reasons the manufacturing
countries of Europe want to pull
Uncle Sam down to a lower level in
order to derive a transitory benefit
to themselves.
STANDING UP FOR OUR RIGHTS
Republic Bulletin: According to
some newspaper comment, in the ab
sence of the President on his sea vaca
tion, and in the departure of Professor
Moley for Great Britain the acting
President was to be the well known [
financier, Barney Baruch. Whether
this is true or not the report makes
the recent public remarks of Mr.
Baruch of greater interest. In a re
cent interview Mr. Baruch was quoted
as saying he believed the President
would “play a waiting game” on the
war debts. He added:
“It is a well-known fact that I be
lieve the debts should be paid. Every
debt we forgive to other nations lifts
a burden from their distressed busi
ness and adds it to ours, doubling our
handicap.”
The financier was equally positive in
discussing stabilization of the dollar,
remarking:
“It is time we ended this twiddle
twaddle by other nations who went off
the gold standard before we did and
now criticize us for taking the same
course. The United States gets blam
ed for everything. It is time we as
serted our rights.”
If these remarks represent the views
of Mr. Brauch on international matters
then Mr. Brauch can no longer, at
least, be regarded as of international
ist tendencies. Not long ago he issued
a statement in which he called atten
tion to the fact that it would be a
little difficult to raise the standard of
living in the United States by increas
ing wages and shortening working
hours, and at the same time lower our
tariffs so that the cheap products of
European nations could flood the
country—products from nations which
care nothing about working conditions
and high standards of living.
Ever since the end of the World
War, when the United States refused
to be a party to the Versailles treaty,
Uncle Sam has been blamed for every
thing wrong that has happened in the
world. We can all agTee with Mr.
Baruch that it is about time we ended
this “twiddle twaddle." The way to
end it is to stand up for our own
rights, refuse to be cajoled or hood
winked into doing things for the bene
fit of Europe at the expense of the
United States, and to develop a policy
for taking care of America first. Such
a policy will be good not only for our
selves but in the long run for the rest
of the world, too. If the London con
ference does no more than scatter the
fog of illusions which the internation
alists in our own country have been
helping to raise during the past dozen
years, it will be well worth its cost.
O’Neill Markets: Wheat 85c; oats,
35c; corn 40c; rye 58c; fat cattle, $4
to $5; feeders $3 to $4; hogs $3.85.
