Our Secretary oi' Agriculture is about the cnly inembei oi the Administration who has voiced the elemental truth thai any program |ot recovery, must lake the whole i.wi rid into its scope. I do not say that , nobody else in the Administration ree ogui/.es that our jiroblems, especially as they d.-al with tarm surpluses, are '.international and not national, bir Honry Wail ace is the only one } [know of who has said that In public I That merely confirms my previous I opinion that he is the right man in the right place! F"w men iii public life have jis broad a grasp of won omic questions, ami 1 know of no body who i cully understands the ag ricultural situation as well as he docs. MONEY . . . finding a level ' What is happening in the matter of American money is just this, as 1 see it. There are only three or four nations, of which France is the ino3t important, whose domestic money is still tied to gold. Three-quarters of the world's people live in nations where the strength back of the money is tho national credit. Hold is no longer used by them for money ex cept in international trade. Cluapen ing their money in terms of gold. I ns Kn.uland, Japan, the I'nited States, have done, dees not aftWt its interna1 value, but only its foreign trade val ue. The cheaper the money compared with gold, the greater the advantage a nation has over others in foreign trade. We have taken tlint advantage away from cheap cum icies in world trade by cheapening onrs. Hut so long as one important na tion remains on the gold standard the others cannot get back to it except oil the basis of that nation's curren cy, which would still leave inequalities What is going on seems to me to be a deHhrmtc attWfrpf to-fwe France ?cnl with it Belgium, Switzerland and a few minor nations off the tyole standaid. With aM nations off sold, their re s|?ective currencies will speedily find tluir natural relative values, one t? the other, and it will be possible t< -set np a new, universal tfold staud:ir< ?.o which all can conform. In the mean time, a dollar is still :t doilnr in America, as a yen is stii! a yen in Japan and a pound i* still a pound in England. DREAMS ... do come troe Tit one mrin's lifetime 1 have see?: *o many dreams come true that f am ?10 longer astonished at anything, much. WTien 1 was a lioy I was fasci nated hv the romances of Jules Verne who wrote about such "impossible things as submarine ships, (balnon voyages, flying machines ami the like, f read Edward Bel'amv's "fx>ok-j ing Backward" in which he imagined 'he possibility of listening (o music find voices from ft distance, without wires; a clear vision of radio. I had ?; toy called a "zootrope" i'i which a picture of a horse semcd to gallop when ft wheel was turned, and so the movies didn't surprise me. I read about a man who though* he could luiild a machine that co. Id talk, long before the phonograph was invented. And one of my boyhocd friends was a young chap named Charlie Duryca, who had the crazy idea that he could build an engine to run by gasoline, which would propel ft buggy ! After seeing so many impossible things accomplished I am prepared to believe almost anything. I long ago refused to listen to people who sftid of any new idea "It can't be done" ISLANDS . . . that float Edward Armstrong astonished the world cf engineering a lew years ago when he came out with a proposal to anchor floating islands at intervals across the Atlantic, to provide land ing platforms audtpfueling stations for airplanes crossing from continent to continent. ?*' T wan pleased the other day that the OovernHtart going to help finance the ?n experiment al island strong plan.

On the left is William G'. Bullitt (it Philadelphia, named U. S. Ambassador to Russia by President Roosevelt. A i rijrht is AleMtm'er M. Troyanovski, former Soviet Ambassador to Japan, wb?. eonw* to Washington as Soviet Ambassador to the U S. Recognition Of Russia To Bring Increase In Trade Washington, November 2 8? Tin shifting panorama of the Now Deal brings a new picture to the fore every ' few days. But eaeh succeeding picture is a little clearer than what preceded it, so thai it becomes easier to under stand the Administration's progium and to deduce its ]>olit'ies. The ri cognition of Soviet Russia, is easy ouoi?gh to -understand. That gov-* ; ertinunt lias iiow> continued for six- 1 teen years, which is pretty .good evi- i deuce t hat il is a si able government. I The failure of the United States to ; recognize it in the past has bee-i has- j ed on two points, primarily. One jjoin, j was that the Soviet government ot . Russia refused to recognize the dvbts of the old ( zarist Government of h'us sia and its Aueesaor, the other and I more popular ground of non-reeag nition was the avowal by the Bolshev iki in their earlier experiments that they were out to convert the whoh world to Communism and intended t50, start Red revolutions everywhere. Russia seems to have discovered that the Capitalistic nation's are no! going to make any trouble for them, and Maxim l.itvinoff, the Russian en voy, seems to have convinced Mi. Roosevelt that his promise, on behalf of his government, to lay otf Com munist propaganda in the I nited states, is one that will be kept. As to the debts, the present govern- j ment of Russia is not much more re- ! miss than some of the other foreign . governments which owe much more j money to the United States. America u j business and banking interests who ; have made some private loan'; to old j Russia thai have not been paid have assured the President that thej aie willing to hold these claims in sus pense, hoping to work them out some way through the new business which recognition makes possible. There are also guarantees in the agreement with Russia of Religion liberty for American citizens living or | traveling mi Russia, the right to em ploy American lawyers if they get in | > trouble, and the freedom to travel anywhere on proper passports. The statesmanlike view of the Rus sian agreement is that it goes some distance in removing a possible seed for a future war. The business view that Russia is a good, customer for hundreds of millions a year of Ameri can manufactured goods ,and has j lot of valuable raw materials to sell to ua. And the Soviet government pqints with pride that- it and its banks and business men have never failed to pay foreign obligations in curred since they came into power. Turning to internal affairs, th> shake-up to the Treasury has set a lot of people guessing, and alarmed th' conservative "sound money" interests who had been hoping that Mr. Roose velt was about to abandon his cur rencv program. Hiving Secretary of the Treasury Woodin an indefinite leave of Hhsenee is merely the Presv dent's way of stalling off. applicants' for his job. Henry Morgenthau, Jr., now aeting Secretary of the Treas ury, will doubtless have the title as well as the work if he makes good He is personally as close to the Presi dent as anyone in Washington. He is regarded as neither ultra-radical nor ^Hra-conservativo. He is in full sym pathy with the Administration's pro cram of depreciating the dollar in international trade-that is, in terms of gold- until a point is reached ar ' which all Of the world eumne.es ca-. be stabilized on -a new gold basis. ! What many of the Administration 's critic^ overlook, it is pointed out here by the President's friends, is that all ol' this so-ealI<Ml "inflation" of the dollar as a result of putting the priee of gold up does not affect the soundness of the dollar here at home. The Government's credit is still pood, these authorities say, and even the silver certificate, with only a few cents' worth of silver at present gold prices, behind it,' is juct as good a dollar as it ev?Sr was. But with all the gold out of private hands and in the Government's contro", gold figures as money only in settlin - internation al balances. The old gold dollar could not compete with tin depreciated monies oi' the rest of the world, and as a result we were losing our for eign markets for our exploitable sur pluses, aud getting starvation prices for such as we could sell. Nothing has pleased the Admittis, tratioirs Yriends so much as the new from Bombay that the Indian cotton spinners are now beginning to buy American cotton again, something made possible only by the deprecia tion of the dollar in terms of gold. Another stimulus to the foreign trade of the United States aud a stabilizer of the world prices is ex pected shortly. If those closest to th< Treasury are to be believed, there is a definite silver purclr se program shaping up, which slio Id have a great effect in bringi: -x about a speedy adjustme.i t of international currencies and li ting > :>rld prices Less attention /is beii ? paid to the NBA and the Cot eM, no that th ? pe riod of the "Rlu Eag " agreement is shortly to expire an-i the big in dustries are beginning to operate un der the group or association codes. More interest is focussing on the new Civil Works Administration, directed by Harry Hopkins, regarded by many as one of the best and ablest men in Washington. Men are being put to work all over the count cy on jobs of a public or semi-public nature, and mney is being poured out in pay en velopes without too much bookkeep ing and auditing. There is every con fidence here that the stimulus of this "priming the business pump ' will be felt by New Year's, and so stimulate waning confidence. Early in December b arings are to begin on the Tugwell biU, intended to put the clamps on the advertising and celling of proprietary medicines, cos net ics and food prod'-efs which do nt come up to standards which, the \ manufacturers sav, are impossible to maintain, and which m"st impartial observers regard ns unnecessary and oppressive. There will be a big lobby in opposition to Ine bill, and a big fight is ahead. The opposition is no? alone from manufacturers and adver tisers, but also from newspapers, which would be serio>?lv affected. The .strongest ground of opposition is the danger putti - control of any business into the v?nds of Gov ernment bureaucrats which the Tug well bill, in its present form, would do.

GOVERNOR CALLS PEOPLE TO PUBLIC THANKSGIVING Governor Ehringhaus, in his Thanksgiving day proclamation, call ed upon the people of North Carolina to "gather at their respective places of worship and acknowledge their debt to an Overrating Providence foi all the blessings of tile past". "The custom which dictates- this annual event is not alone sufficient to decree its observance. It must find its justification not in custom but in the hearts of the people which have been already touched by a sense of gratitude to heaven for blessings and protection during the year that has passed. And surely in the recollection of so much distress and in the contempla tion of so much which threatened the lives and well being of our peop'e, when we look about at the constantly increasing signs of th? dawn of a hot ter day, we can approach this annual event with a deeper sense of grati tude to the Providence that has pro tected us and gives us present promise and renewed hope."
