BRITISH CHANGING
THEIR TRADE TUNE
For some time it has been appar
ent that the world economic confer
ence which opens in London next.
Monday is to bo nothing more than
a poker game in which each coun
try represented will seek to gain
every possible advantage. There is no
longer hope of making it a clinic to
retcrc health to an economically
sick world.
Until recently the British thor
oughly convinced that they held the
v. inning cards, adopted a patronizing
attitude towards other countries.
They intimated that concessions were
not to be expected from them, and
that much must be offered to obtain
their co-operation. They strength
ened their position by sewing up
trade through exclusive agreements
with other members of the empire
and with Scandinavia and Argentina,
and through manipulation of the
currency.
Eut latterly Great Britain has lost
eoit.0 of its most cherished advantages.
Thanks to shrewd work on the part
cf members of the Washington gov
ernment the United States will enter
the London conference in a position
indefinitely stronger'than that which
it occupied four months ago. It i3 no
f.ccidcnt that the pound has risen this
week to the highest level it has at
tained since Great Britain went off
gold in 1S31, and that the dollar has
depreciated about 17 per cent. De
rpite the possession of a 250 million
pound fund with which to manipulate
the currency, the London govern
ment ha3 been unable to prevent the
dollar from declining to a level which
permits American exporters to com
pete with British exporters for for
eign trade.
While the United 3..ate3 adhered
to te geld standard and it3 monetary
policy was subject to inelastic con
trol by congress, the British, with
their ur.stabilized pound, had Amer
ican exporters at their mercy and
madi the raozt of their advantage.
But America's departure from gold
end ths vesting in the president of
pc-Acr to rcduco the geld content of
t!:e dollar charged the situation rad-icr.'I;-.
The United States again be-
can:3 master or Its own monetary

cf Prcf. O. M. W. Sprague of Har
vrrd, one of th3 geratest monetary
experts and one familiar with the
Urrii-ii methods cf currency control,
was another master etroke of the
Washington administration. Prof.
Sprague probably knov.'3 far more
than h is likely to tell about the re
cent gyratiens cf the dollar on the
international exchanges.
America's changed position doubt
lz3 La3 had much to do with the ap
parent change of heart in London.
Eriti-h officials who not long ago
spurned American pclas for early re
turn of tha pound and other curren
cies to a stabilized gold basis are
now eager to listen. After insisting
that the pound would not be stabil
ized at more than $3.50, if at all,
they no wsee it mount to around
$4.10, and realize that the United
fjtatcs could force it still higher.
Thct doubtless explains their present
willingness to compromise. Chicago

:o:
COUNTRY'S CAPITAL
HAS BEEN REDUCED
The wealth of the United States
and its people has been reduced
hundred million dollars since 1929
the national industrial conference
board ha3 just disclosed. For every
man, woman and child there was
nearly three thousand dollars four
years ago, and now there is less than
two thousand dollars. In some part
this la a reflection of the lower com
modity price level. The same prop
erty that we used to own and still do
is worth less money.
But upon examination this bovious
explanation is found to be wholly in
adequate. The fact is that we have
the same factory equipment we had
in 1929, and it is four years older;
our homes have deteriorated from
neglect, and the automobiles four and
five years old give evidence of Avear
and age. While time and the ele
ments have been taking the toll of
our physical equipment few houses
have been built, few automobiles have
been produced, and little manufac
turing equipment has been installed.
Nor has liquid capital been piling up
in the banks, fo rthcy have 15 bil
lions less in deposits. Any way you
figure it, the great wealth of this
country has been severely depleted.
When society i3 in a healthy con
dition such depletion never comes.
Given the opportunity, individuals
accumulate capital year in and year
out. They do it by consuming less
than they produce, spending less than
their Income, thu3 laying something
by as savings. These savings are di
rectly invested in corporate bonds,
stocks and mortgages, or are left with
banks and insurance companies
which do the inventing. The funds
turned over by the purchasers of
bonds, stocks and mortgages are in
turn invested in the physical equip
ment, which represents the real cap
ital of the country.
When there i3 progress, therefore,
each year finds In the country a larger
cmount of wealth in the form of ma
chinery, tccls, houes, office bulld-
ing3 and bank balances and reserves.
Society keep3 up and add? to Its sup
ply of capital as a result of having
individual members who spend some
thing les3 than their total incomes.
From this brief exposition of eco
nomic principles, it can be seen at
once that the the leading cau3e of the
depletion or capital in the United
State3 is to be found in tha factors
which make it impossible to save.
The governments of the United
States combined Epent 15 billion dol
lars in 1932. All of the people to
gether earned only 37 billion dollars.
These excessive governmental expen
ditures consumed so large a part of
what the people earned that savings
have been out cf the question. In
deed, it Is the experience of a great
majority of corporations, and prob
ably a majority of families, that even
with reduced expenditures taking out
taxes left them with a deficit. Not
enly has capital not been added to
but existing capital has not been
maintained. Reuben Cahn in Chi
cago Tribune.
KEEP FARM LENDING
FREE FROM POLITICS
Greedy politicians, reaching
outl
for power and patronage, propose
that the directors of the new pro
duction and co-operative banks,
which will function as auxiliaries of
the Federal Farm Land banks, shall
be appointed by the governor of the
rural credits administration.
The Tribune makes the same criti
cism of this scheme that it makes of
a similar proposal to take the clec
tion of directors- of the Federal Land
banks" out of the hands of borrowers
by some Washington office holder,
Borrowers who, by reason of the
mutual pledging of their security,
have the most at stake in these banks
should have a voice in their manage
ment. As these banks depend upon
public subscription for their bonds to
obtain capital, sound and careful
management is absolutely essential.
The government ha3 set out to do
a great thing for the farmer, but it
will be completely nullified if the
system is permitted to fall into the
hands of designing politicians whose
principal interest is providing job3
for their hangerson.
The Tribune favors keeping the
hands of the politicians out of the
Federal Land banks, out of the pro
duction banks and out of the co-operative
banks. ; Nor should they bo per
mitted to get a strange-hold on the
new Home Owners Loan corporation
The borrowers should have a voice
in the management of these enter
prises.
The Tribune. has no quarrel with
politicians. They como under the
head of necessary evils and a lot
of them do a great amount of good.
Eut when their manipulations threat
en the safety or security of a public
institution, particularly one that
holds so many potentialities as these
new credit enterprises. The Tribune
thinks the politicians should take a
back seat.
This proposal to extend political
control to the production and co-operative
bank3 is just as bad as the
proposal to turn the land banks over
to the spoils seekers. It should be de
feated. Sioux City Tribune.
:o:
IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE LFS
Preliminary discussions of the
problems confronting the world eco
nomic conference show that leading
thinker3 and men .of governmental j
influence are in substantial accord
concerning what ought to be done to
restore world confidence and facil
itate world trade. , Such harmony is
as easily secured as was that con
cerning the need to abolish war
which a few years ago produced a
series of agreements no more to re
sort to arms to settle disputes. But
experience proves that acceptance of
a proposition "in principle" is quite
different from application of the
principle to specific cases when the
selfishness and the greed and the
prejudices of individuals and peoples
have to be reckoned with.
Neville Chamberlain, British chan
cellor to the exchequer, who also is
to be leader of the British delegation
at the conference, in a recent speech
outlincd certain principles which hejis
believcd were an expression of the
British objectives for the conference
The revival of trade, he said, de
pended upon general acceptance of
three main policies: Raising the level
of world prices by planning produc
tion and trade, rather than by
manipulating credit or currency;
ultimate restoration of a stable gold
standard at a new parity "with an
agreement meantime protecting the
world's currencies from violent fluc
tuations," and removal or reduction
cf abnormal barriers to trade.
Probably nearly every delegate
now preparing for the conference
would give assent to these proposi
tions as correct "in principle." Prob- j
amy, too, ir these statesmen were
empowered to act in accordance with
their- best judgment and were pro
tected against the nudging of tariff
beneficiaries and international money
lend3 and all the other interests that
promote international difficulties,
they would make records in the con
ference method of setting thl3 eld
world right. Detroit News,

Tho Republicans won the congres
sional baseball game from the Demo

-:o:
We all hope our posterity will be
wiser and more resourceful in times
f stress than wo are, although we
iicnucuuy nave moments when we
criously doubt whether any other
generation could bo nearly so smart
as we feel.
THE WAR OF LUNATICS
One of the great obstacles in the
path of a solution of the world's eco
nomic problems arises from the fact
that the experts, who understand the
situation, do not have an . informed
public opinion at home" to back them
up. Almost any political hack who
comes along with a slogan can cut
tho ground from under those who
are trying to make progress.
Consider the field of internation
al exchange, or the relative value of
the currencies of thc world. A war
i3 being fought, with each nation ap
parently trying to ;prove that Its
money i3 worth less than anyone
else's. To race' to see who can get
first to the bottom of the pit seems
very odd. It is caused by a terrific
competition for markets which is in
turn due to a demand from home in
dustries which the various govern
ments have not the strength to re
sist. It is as though a man who had
been trading a bolt of cloth for 10
bushel3 of wheat suddenly were to
offer to give two bolt3 for the same
amount of wheat. He would get rid
cf more cloth, but would receive less
wheat. That is what happens when
a country cheapens its money, but
tho insanity is not apparent, or is
overlooked, because of the pressure
to sell, the extra bolt of cloth, plus
the fact that under modern condi-
tions the man who sells the cloth is
not tha same person who buys the
wheat. Continued long enough this
vrocess would end in universal bank-
ruptcy.
Part of this anxiety to sell is caus-
ed by a necessity of exporting goods
with which to make payments on
foreign debts; hence the importance
cf the war debts. The more this
country collects on the debts, the less
it can expect to sell and the lower
the prices of the things it exports,
such as wheat. Sooner or later this
muddle will be straightened out,
either through reasonable agreement
or by natural economic readjustment,
unless the universal bankruptcy gets
here first. St. Paul Dispatch.

CHANGES IN AMERICA
Louis Fischer spends rears in Rua-
sla, visits his home, the United
States. Seeing us after an absence,
he see3 more vividly than stay-at-
homes the changes taking place. He
I thinks he discerns three revolution-
ary change3 undsr way. I
Our working people are develop-
ing into a proletariat. By this he
means they are coming to think of
themselves as wage workers alone,!
not as owners of property with a
chance, some time, to be in business
for themselves or to work in some I
other capacity. I
The farmers, Fischer thinks he
sees, are becoming peasants. By this
he means they aro becoming mere
tillers of the soil, not owners of land
or property, not the business-minded
men that farmers have hitherto been.
Tne government, Fischer notes, is
i
taking on a larger and larger stake
in industry and business. Note the
loans by way of the R. F. C. That
to asy, we are moving toward state
capitalism. ... Few doubt that what
Fischer sees has actually, in some
measure, occurred. I
All these stages are predicted by
socialists as inevitable preliminaries
to the revolution into complete social-
ism.
Who has produced this movement
toward socialism? Anybody wno nas
joined in the national policy which
bled and bankrupted agriculture,
Anybody who has put obstacles in the
way of the highest attainable stand-
ard of living for labor. I
Who is saving us, if we are to be
saved, from th;3 drift? Whoever sup-
ports effective measures to permit
farmers once more to be independent
tillers cf their own acres; laborers
to bo well paid and Independent
dvel!cr3 under their own vines and
fig trees.
Tho "revolution" now under way
in Washington is a powerful effort
to check the drift which Fischer sees,
Cet the farmers hack on their farms,
the laborers back in their homes, and
the government can resume govern-
ing.
This is a conservation movement,
not a radical one. The people of the
United States seem to recognize that
what Is going on is an effort to eave
tho Americ aof their tradition, and
they are for it. Men at Washington
who essay to block the effort are
promply apprised by mail-and wire
of how the people stand.
The reactionary who tries to block
this movement is an assistant social-
st. The Becks and the Reeds are
among our most potent radicals.

NEBRASKA BASKET FACTQBY
FLAG DAY
The flags were out Wednesday
Some wondered what was the occa
sion. It was flag day, a day set aside
for displaying and honoring the flag.
On occasions of this kind citizens are
reminded that there is such an em
blem and are expected to pause and
recall all for which it stands.
The flag of today 13 composed ol
thirteen red and white stripes with
a field of blue in the upper corner in
which forty-eight white stars, one for
each of the states, are found. The
present day flag is not the same flag
under which the soldiers of the revo
lution fought. In fact the United
States has had a different flag for
each war in which it has participated.
For the Revolutionary war the
flag consisted of thirteen stripc3 and
thirteen white stars in a circle on a
blue field. During the War of 1812
it consisted of fifteen stripes with
fifteen stars. When tho Mexican war
in 1S46 occurred, the flag consisted
of thirteen stripes and twenty-nine
stars. At the time of tho Civil war
the flag consisted of thirteen stripes
and thirty-fohr stars. Two new stars
were added befora the war ended.
They represented West Virginia and
Nevada. The war with Spain was
fought under a flag with forty-live
stars and the flag cf tha World w
had the present number, forty-eight
The flag has been a changing em
blem, recording the change- and
growth of our country. It may under
go some change in the future
change in the number of states by
the division of one of the present
ones or by the raising of seme terri
tory to statehood will require
change in the flag.

HOW THE PARTNERS
QF M0F.GAIT HANAGED
Charles E. Mitchell, former chair
man of New York's National City
bank, is on trial charged with evad
ing income taxos by selling securities
to his wife, deducting tho losses from
his taxable Income and then repur
chasing the shares.
Thoma3 S. Lamont, a Morgan part-
ner, testifying before the senate
banking committee, admits that he
employed the same device, if not to
escape taxes (which ho denies), nev-
ertheless escaping by subsequent de
duction of losses, later repurchasing
the stocks at about the Eclling price.
Mr. Lamont went Mr. Mitchell one
better he lent his wife the money
to buy the shares, so that in repur
chasing them he merely canceled her
note. He thus saved taxes on 114
thousand dollars.
William Ewing, by means of a
much more intricate system, involv-
ing transfers to and from a trust
fund for which he was trustee, ei-
caped taxes on 447 thcurand dollars.
Whether or not there i3 a differ-
ence legally, there is no difference
morally in the action of Mitchell, who
is on trial, and the actions of La-
mont and Ewing, ,ho are under In-
vestigation.
Both- the Morgnu partners have
revealed a readines3 on the part of
the rrren of wealth, of power and of
highly influential associations, to
challenge the government as no small
taxpayer would dare to challenge it.
Collectively the Morgan partners paid
little or no incoma taxes for two
years. How many more of them, if
any, sold securities to their wives,
made out their income tax returns,
with deduction of losse3, and then
repurchased?
"There was no agreement nor any
understanding between us," says
Lamont, "that I should any time
later on repurchase these shares form
her or any of them."
Mr. Ewing says vehemently that
he was not engaged in "tax dodging."
So they say. Kansas City Times.

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP GROWS
Religious leaders In recent years
have found much to deplore in what
they believed to be evidence of a
tendency toward spiritual decadence
among the people. New Interests,
new manners, new customs provoke
the elders to a disquieting fear that
the faith cf the fathers is in pro
cess of disintegration. Nevertheless
this disquietude has seemed in the
po3t-war era not vrtthout Justifica
tion. We had spent our emotional
reserves upon the war and seemed to
have lost the capacity for that depth
of feeling associated with religious
experience. To many we appeared
hell bent in the service of Mammon.
But if there is any truth in this
it i3 not susceptible of mathematical
demonstration. The statistics of re
ligion all point the other way. Nunv
erically the church is stronger than
ever, if one may designate thfe
church an institution made up of
204 different bodies whose business
is to minister to the spiritual and
religious life. Dr. G. L. Kieffer, re-
ligious statistician, reports a total
church membership of nearly 61 mil
lion of which more than 50 million
are 13 years old or ovtr.
This 13 only a little short of half
the population of the country. When
we consider that of the unchurched
remainder a large proportion are
children and many adults have un
recorded church connections it is ol-
vious that any spiritual decadence
which may have occurred has not
been acompanied by a complete lack
of interest in the religious sido of
life.
In time of stress and trouble there
is an natural turning to spiritual
consolation, so it 13 not surprising to
learn from Dr. Kieffer's figures that
the increase in church membership
last year was four times that of the
year before, in numbers considerably
more than a million. This was ac
complished in a year which Was not
marked by any outward sign of un
usual religious fervor.
! Jiost signincant are the figures re
ported by the Christian Herald which
finds church membership since 1900
ha3 increased 82.8 per cent while
population has increased 65.8 per
cent.
If these figures mean anything
they seem to indicate that the clergy
have done fairly well at calling sin
ners to repentance. The graver prob
lem may lie in the field of promot
ing spirituality among those definite
ly under their influence. World-
