I northwestern counties. The bait is

, ency relief funds. The federal gov
ernment ia waiting to spend 1118,000
to fight livestock diseases in Nebraska,
but cooperation ha* not yet been pledg
ed by the governor. The work would
cost the state nothing.
A group of CWA art pictures has
been chosen by the governor to hang
in the executive mansion at Lincoln.
They include a water color, “Nebras
ka Cottonwood," by Ernest Rose of
Omaha.; a number of etchings by Ly

by Sarah Green of Lincoln. The pict

Memorial at Omaha during July,
Economic Highlights
As was anticipated, the appearance
of summer brought definite declines
in business activity. Early in July
steel ingot production dropped, from
62 to 4U, and automobiles slid from
82 to 3y. During ensuing weeks auto
mobile production recovered somewhat,
while steel stayed down.
There is nothing extraordinary in
this. But the question is being asked,
“Where are we going in business?”
In other words, have we dropped to
a “permanently lower level” or will
activity rebound shortly to the levels
of May and June?
In answering that question, various
business observers are a long way
from agreement. The Annalist, for
example, which is a conservative auth
ority, and is inimical to many import
ant Administration measures, tends
to the belief that only part of the
loss will be recovered, and that the
future of business is clouded with
doubt. Other agencies of information
are more encouraging, although a
highly' cautious note is evident in
most pronouncements and forecasts.
Experts are uncertain, and as a result
they are avoiding, as much as possible,
definite guesses ns to coming events
in the business world.
Tms mucn, However, seems utmmc,
Progress of recovery generally has
been disappointingly slow. The new
federal bureaus, including the NRA,
have not been able to accomplish as
much as was hoped.. The picture is
inevitably confused by government
spending—no one knows how much of
the rise in business achieved since two
years ago, is due to artificial stimula
tion of this sort and how much to
genuine recovery. It is an obvious
fact that if the government puts out
billions for one kind or another of re
lief—and all the special activities,
from building of dams to the CCC
camps fall under that relief heading—
sales of all types of products are
bound to rise. It is not equally ob
vious what will happen when the gov
ernment is forced to slow down or
stop this kind of spending, as no one
knows to what extent private enter
prise will be able to take up the load.
Conservative business is again faced
with renewed demands for inflation,
and for the issuance of fiat money.
The Economists’ National Committee
on Monetary Policy forecasts that
with the convening of the next Con
gress, the President will attempt to
further devalue the dollar and issue
more currency against our gold re
serve. Results would be problemat
ical—one person's view is about as
good as another’s in this regard—but
it would undoubtedly cause much un
certainty during the devaluing process.
In brief, business is suffering from
the summer drop plus labor troubles,
and there is doubt as to whether it
will be able to recover at normal speed.
One good sign is that the strikes
seem closer to settlement—but the
labor problem, important as it is, is
but one of many issues industry must
face. We are entering a crucial period
and events of the next half-dozen
months will show where we, as an in
dustrial nation, are going.
The much opposed, much defended,
Reciprocal Tariff Bill, which gives the
President the unchecked power to
make agreements with foreign nations
whereby we will lower the tariff on
their goods by as much as 60 per cent,
passed the last Congress. On July 23
the machinery it created went into
motion for the first time, when ne
gotiations for a reciprocal treaty with
Cuba were started.
No piece of legislation of the last
two years is more far-reaching than
the tariff bill, or more potentially im
portant. The Administration plans to
use it in a vast effort to rehabiliate
world trade, break the international
commercial deadlock that is «.ow tieing
up the ports of the world, and make
the tariff an instrument in restoring
prosperity.
Tlie problems the Administration
faces in doing this are of the greatest
and most involved kind. For example,
debts and currieneies, most debated of
subjects, contributed to the trade col
lapse—they are inextricably involved
in trade revival. Perhaps more im
portant still, is the growth of national
istic feeling which has stirred up much
ill will between most of the great
powers. At uny rate, this and other
countries will move very slowly in
negotiating trade treaties. Early
agreements will cover but a few com
modities. More sweeping agreements,
relating to all types of products, will
come later.
Whatever the result, it is a vital
and interesting experiment. If the
United States succeeds in bringing
back world trade, all powers will owe
it a debt.
To stimulate recovery and employ
ment, the Administration is pinning
great hopes on its new housing bill,
which will go into operation shortly.
Under it, a part of mortgage loans are
guaranteed and interest rates lowered
—it is thus supposed to benefit both
lender and borrower. Its proponents
believe it will liberate $1,600,000,000
of private capital and provide employ
ment for millions.

himself and at the same time to do
his country a big favor. The Indians
went out and pounded all the fight out
of the boys under General Crook and
the general had to admit the wild
boys had him outguessed in every way.
After this contest, the Indian fight
ers used their heads and refused to
hang around and wait for some other
force to come along and make them
bite the dust. They took to woods,
valleys, hills and anywhere, scatter
ing so no force could do much toward
giving them punishment. They hid
out as only the coyote and Indian
know how to do.
It became the task of the men under
General Terry to get after the wild
boys and give them the worst the
whites could offer. The general cut
the men under him to two units and
started the quest for the outlaws
whose skins sorely were needed to
bring peace and safety to a wide erea.
Benteen, Custer and Reno, white
leaders, and a great number of sea
soned soldiers, made a start with cav
alry to a point said to have been the
confluence of the Little and Big Horn
rivers. The force crept along slowly,
remembering that the Indians were as
wide awake as possible and ready for
a thrust they had hoped should be
final as far as the “white trash” was
concerned.
Along toward the middle of that
summer, white scouts dropped into
camp and nonchalently stated that they
located a number of Sioux or Sioux or
Cheyenne on the Little Big Horn river.
Further observations gave the impres
sion the parcel was not the enemy but
a hand of more than 100 of Indians of
some friendly tribe or nation. That
belief caused, somewhat of a change of
