In almost the Game breath he told the correspondents that hi3 country placed a high value on its return to the gold standard and placed debt settlements among the conditions that rnut precede such a return. The chancellor, who corresponds to the secretary of the .treasury in this country, argued that a revision of the debt was of as much interest to the creditor as to the debtor, but he, fcrgot to mention that Great Britain tand3 to gain much from the stabil-j izing effect of her own return to. gold. In short, the whole tendency of Mr". Chamberlain's remarks was to minimize what tho United -States hxk3 to 'offer and. to magnify wbatGreait Britain .might exchange for, it." The chancellor must be far ..more naive than hi3 political experience would suggest if ho thinks he is fooling anyone by these usual preliminaries. In spite of all such public protesta tions, the British are a practical peo ple and they understand perfectly that they cannot get concessions on the debt without offering equivalent concessions in return. The begin nings of a bargain always involve the assumption of a stiff attitude. Chancellor Chamberlain evidently was laying the groundwork for the big trade. Poker i3 not a national British game. But the British are adept in applying its principles in international affairs. However, when the player3 are seated around the table, our repre scnatives will have a fairly good idea of what the British hold, and if we do not call Mr. Chamberlain's bluff it will be our own fault.

Insurance companies have responded promptly and posi tively to the request cf Governor Herring for a ; suspension of farm mortgage foreclosure proceedings in Iowa pending remedial action by the legislature. The act of suspension itself helps to ease the situation. The insur ance companies are the greatest single agency lending money on farm mortgages, and other creditors are bound to be influenced by their attitude and action toward the prob lem. More important than that, how ever, is tho disclosure of an extreme ly sympathetic attitude by these com panies, an understanding of the farmer's plight and a willingness to co-operate in attempting to find a way for easing the debtor's difficul ties. They display confidence not only in the farmer's ability ultimate ly to come back economically but also in the fairness of hi3 political rep resentatives. They obviously do not anticipate that, in helping the debtor, tho legislature will attempt to de prive the creditor of his Just rights. This emergency i3 not one in which dishonest debtors are attempt ing to beat creditors out of their dues. It is not one in which the farmer is so head over heels in debt that he never can expect to pull out. Under normal conditions the .farmer, as a class, has not overborrowed. But thi3 is a pathological condition. What is now needed is treatment for it as such. What the farmer most wants in thi3 emergency is time. The insur ance companies seem disposed to grant this, even without special pleading, where It can be done with out prejudicing their interests against the claims of junior creditors. In the long run this policy is seen to be best for the creditor himself as well as for the debtor. The insur ance companies do not want lantt. They cannot use land. They want only safe investment for tho money of their policyholders,' of which they are the custodians. In general their attitude seem3 to be that they are' bet ter protected by carrying the farmer than by foreclosing him where the situation isn't complicated by other borrowings.'

There' are probably even' more policyholders than therd are mortgagors." It Is distinctly heartening to find a strong disposition1 toward arbitration, con ciliation and compromise for the benefit of all.

World-Her ald. - '. :o: t '' IN COMMENDATION OF CONGRESSMAN RATNEY A maluro western democrat who now leads hi3 party in the house and will probably become speaker, is a refreshing ' contrast to the reckless southern democrat who is now dis gracing his state and his party in the senate. Henry T. Rainey is get ting the attention of the country. He Is conducting himself as if ho re membered constantly that he comes from the district which sent Abra ham Lincoln and Stephen A. Doug las to congress. As he is an Am herst man. New Englanders may see in him tho educational influences which did much to shape the careers of Calvin Coolidge '95, and Dwight Morrow '95. If as speaker, he should adhere to the policies which he is now expounding so vigorously, and should actually lead the house, a special session would bo a solace, rather than an irritant. ; Representative Rainey is heartily opposed to the bonus. He objects just as heartily to flat money and to in flation. Whether the war debts are collectible or not and he says that we can't collect a dollar of them he protests against a budget which includes them as if obtainable in full. He declares further that a sale3 tax is "ths best and most just solution" of the revenue problem. Especially gratifying i3 hi3 assertion that the immediate need Is for drastic , econ omies which will go far toward bal ancing the budget. His position is about the same a3 that of Senator Tydings of Maryland, on whom we commented yesterday. It Is comforting to know that the new authority which Mr. Rainey now exercises as leader of the house ma jority, and which will be amplified when he is elected speaker, doe3 not seem to'have'gone to his head but appears to have given him a sense of added responsibility.

In this summing up the ' Ameri can taxpayer -and that means every man and woman In the country, whether he or she is aware of tax ation or not has a revelation of what we are up' against. The gist of it is that with' both partie3 pledged to drastic retrenchment, with busi ness recovery and re-employment blocked by taxes and the fear of more taxes, the so-called representatives of the people have carried on a game of fill-ill: shuffling reductions , and increases which! "will result in net economies far below the " urgent need of the fiscal i situation.' 'Proposed , econo mies or So'j million dollars nave been offset or' whittled down to 246 millions and, asthe bulletin wisely warns, the ' budget', recommendations have not yet beei accepted and there is reason to believe will lie refused In important Jtems.

Employers and employes, the millions with jobs to keep as ' well as 'those with jobs to get, the farmers, business men, and labor must' realize that the fight for tax relief is their 'own fight and must organize practical political action to enforce their demand. Resoluting and protesting, important as they are for arousing ourselve3 to the fight ing point,""' will fail miserably unless they are followed up by fighting or ganization to drive the demand home. Party or individual pledges are worthless unless party and individ ual are punished jtor breaking them. The present congress has shown an ominous irresponsibility toward the federal r.ancial. crisis and a reck less disregard of , the demand for tax relief.

"An economic 'war Is already rag ing throughout the world perhaps tho worst of its kind in modern times. The nations are fighting each other with economic weapons in tooth and claw style. ' In order to mitigate the ravages the world economic con ference has been called. The failure of that, in the opinion of the pre paratory commission, including two American economists, "would shake the whole system of irternational fi nance to its foundation; the stand ards of living would bo lowered and the social system as we know it could hardly survive." It i3 . argued In support of the higher compensatory duties that with them already in force our po sition in the international confer ence would be strengthened. Yet it is so easy to raise these duties at any timo that at the conference' mere hints of such action wculd probably serve the purpose of tho American delegates. ' It seem3 certain that a further jacking up of our tariff at this time might raise fighting tam pers abroad rather than spread terror. One proposal I3 that when the cur rency of any nation depreciates by as much as 5 per cent, there shall b-a levied upon all'impcrts f rem it a tax sufficient to compensate for the de preciation. Ar.clh2i- proposal, by the treasury department, is that the flexible powers of tl;e tariff commis sion "Te increased to deal effectively with goods Imported frcm the depre ciated currency countries. It might ba advisable "firrt to ask the tariff ccnimicslon if it had changed 'the vi?r.'sv It ' reported last spring. It then investigated the sub ject in response to a senate resolu tion with results unfavorable to the idea of raising duties. If the assump" tion is correct that we are ruffering seriously .from tho flooding cf our markets by cheap-cost, goods from countries fallen off a gold , bate, the statistics of imnort3 should reveal the , fact. , But.tiia tariff tom'missicjn reported that wr.o ccnnlta difference can be traced between " commodities coming chiefly f ro'm ' depreciated' cur rency countries and those coming from other 'countries." Attfce end i0f 1922, our whole' Import trade va: at the lowest level in a quarter of a century, and, at latest reports, was still falling. That is a new way to "flood" cur markets. . Certain kinds of imports show In creases, but th2 general tendency of pur foreign trade i3 downward. If," that i3 desirable, protectionists should be happy with things as they are. Furthermore tho tariff commis sion's report last rpring showed clearly that tho fall in commodity prices was increasing the protection provided by tho present dutie3 on many articles. Of dutiable imports about half are rubject .to specific rather than ad valorem duties, and this means that a3 prices, fall the ad valorem equivalent cf the speci fic duties co t'P correspondingly. Commodity prices fell throughout 1932. and they havo not yet risen. It is to be feared that all tariff raising schemes are designed to build an unscalable well ?.rcu"d the Unit ed State3. Gr.r.10 tr.ink we are coming to that and rhould welcome it, in spite of th3 fact thr.t in 1929 moro than 54 por cent of cjr cotton, more than 41 cent of our tobacco, nearly 40 per cent cl our kerosene, over 40 per cor.t of ot?r typewriters, 36 per cent c,r oiir rrppcr, 31 per cent of our lubricating oil, nearly 34 per cent" cf cur lard, and 23 per cent of . cur sowing machines were sold abrord.

This so-called "school book trust" charges high prices, and that it may continue to chargo them, is constantlp spending large rums to control school board elections and to put its friends in key positions In our educational system. One of the trust's favorite "rack ets" is to change textbooks at fre quent intervals, thu3 boosting sales. West Virginia is probably no worse gouged by the school book trust than' many other states; but the Wheeling Intelligencer has been making an ef fort to end tho graft and in the course of it3 campaign wrote to. the minister of education of Ontario, Can adai to find out how that thrifty prov ince managed thing3. The response was truly startling. Textbooks for Ontario schools are prtpared by experts under direction cf the government. They are printed by private publishers who tender bids for the jobs, and there is keen com petition. The maximum price at which they may be sold is fixed' by tho provincial government, and the contract to furnish these books usual ly runs for seven years. The Intelli gencer prints the following table of comparative prices: West Ontario Virginia Primer 4 cents 37 cent3 First reader 6 cents 37 cents Second reader 9 cents 44 cents Third reader 14 cents 56 cents Speller 19 cents 35 cents Grammar 25 cents 52 cents Arithmetic 10 cents 52 cents Geography 75 cents 172 cents Wc3t Virginia pay.i from two to nine times a3 much per book as On tario, and takes the added chance of propaganda creeping into the books laid before children in their most impressionable years. And the On tario prices given are the maximum; by buying direct frcm the publisher. the parent3 get a 20 per cent dis count.

'Two years ago the -hews would have shocked tho rest" of the world and been marked by a heavy fall on security "exchanges. For Hit ler then stood for instability. ' His "program" was" a collection of bait to catch the mind3 of the discontent ed and suffering. It had patches from the Italian fascists and the socialists, proposals that could never be recon ciled. The German government un der Hitler'3 program at that time would have become either crazy or a return to monarchy, threatening economic stability, threatening the peace of the world. Today we can look calmly on the accession of Hitler. For ono thing it had become inevitable; the man had to be tried to end his constant threat to every other ministry. For another thing, Hitler i3 better un derstood now. His talk often reacn cd the emptiness of mere raving, but he was putting himself on th3 poli tical map. Ho needed a following to make him at all important. Now ho U3es that following, as many an other has, to make deals and trades. Hitler attains position as a recult of fusion v-ith the Kugenberg na tionalists, tho Seldte Steel Helmets, the somewhat hazy Von Papen group. It is a tamed and compromising Adolf Hitler who takes office. German may suffer - from this change. Her burdened people may bo appealed to in a spirit of swash buckling patriotism to make further sacrifices -and pay for an army and a navy. Saber-rattling may be-used to distract attention from internal evils. A monarchy even may bo at tempted, or actually set up. Such are the growing pains of democracy. But the cooling power of responsibility, coupled with the dampening power of bavins -to compromise, may be counted on to sober Hitler or else produce a reaction that will displace him. .... Hitler had enough of tho peculiar quality of raagnetjsm to "make him inevitable. It 13 strange, when we conio to think of It, that we can re count the experiments cf nations and still each nation must try its own. France ha3 fluctuated between the rupposed radicalism of Herrlott and the Poincare conservatism and not found a great difference.
