Of the millions of young men who were killed in action during the great war, or who died from the effects of it, many, no doubt, were unwilling vic tims of conscription, but many others were martyrs, giving their lives un grudgingly for loyalties more dear to them than life. In our proper hatred of war, we must not confuse the issues by under valuing the valor and the devotion which were exemplified, but rather be the more profoundly determined to take such action as will justify sac rafices. The peace which we seek, the peace which must be made, is the peace of God and His Christ. It is the most positive, the most heroic, and the most beautiful conception that our minds can entertain. It is the reali zation of world-wide human unity and world-wide human fellowship in terms of forgiving and atoning and redeeming love. It is worth working for. Juesus believed that it was worth dying for. For he gave His life on Calvary. The weapon of peace is the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. To prayer, the day, with all its pitiful, tender, tragic associations, ever calls us. LORD, thou canst help when earthly armour faileth; LORD, thou canst save when deadly sin asaileth; LORD, o'er thy rock nor death nor hell prevaileth: Grant us peace, LORD! 212 TO 4! \ew3 from a high school in a com paratively large city is that 216 high school gins recently voted a choice befv^en marriage and careers, with i the result being only four votes for marriage. So what? So, nothing! In a few years at most, a majority of the girls will be married and, even then, some of them will be taken up with their carers. Life may be so topsy-tury that some women are willing to eliminate marriage in favor of freedom to work for themselves but the ratio is noth ing like 212 to 4. DRAW YOUR OWN MORAL From Iowa comes the story of a mother who killed five of her seven children and herself, leaving a note reading, "I have stood all I can take, and best to take the kids along." To two boys, 15 and 11, she wrote, "all that saves you boys is no more shells!" Her husband was in jail at the time of the shooting. Two girls, 13, and 10, and three boys, 6, 4, and 2,! "went along" with the despondent mother. It is hard to imagine the despera tion that would lead a woman into such a cold-blooded slaying of her own children. Whether her mental power snapped under some real or fancied wrong is a matter of con jecture but that life, as she faced it, was impossible is plain from her act. The moral to be drawn from the story will vary with different indi viduals. For ourselves, we hazard no guess. FARM BUYING CURTAILED The so-called experts are wonder ing about the business slump and are trying to guess whether it is a "re cession" or the beginning of a de pression. -? 1 At the same time, they are trying i to figure out thd causes of the lull in business activity, with the hope of applying remedial measures. < Few of these students of business give any thought to the psychological influence of falling farm prices. They i take into consideration the total farm < income, estimated to be above last < year, and apparently believe that the i farm buying power is unimpaired. We believe the experts will find < that buying, on the part of farmers, i - is being sharply curtailed. Farm in come, to many milium farmers, is W than anticipated and, when this is the case, baying i# affected. 16 < fact many of the nations' farmers I opent* on credit, paying in the Fall i for earlier purchases, and when the J prices drop unduly there is set much i left for new buying.

(tee) way to build up our exports except to lend buyers the money with whin to pay for the purchases, and this has been tried before. initiating that the trade agree ment policy never contemplated let ring down trade barriers to permit the entry of an unreasonable amount of competitive products Secretary Hull says that it does not favor erect ing barriers that would foster do mestic monoply. He added, that if the State department undertook to satisfy the complaints of those who seek nothing lees than an outright airtight embargo of certain imports it might well close up shop and turn the negotiations over to the lobby ists. The workings of the reciprocal program is seen in th motor vehicle industry which repbrts the largest overseas business since 1929. Robert C. Graham, official of the Graham Paige company expects sales of Am erican motor vehicles this year to reach 630,000 units, a gain of 24 per cent over last year. He says the reciprocal program is a "vital fac tor" in the recovery of foreign mar kets and predicts that as it becomes more general the trade will sell a million cars a year abroad. He cites the Cuban agreement, which went into effect in 1934, as an outstand ing example and says that in the 30 months following the agreement exports of passenger cars to the is land were 8,196 units, compared to 1,712 shipped to Cuba in tho 30 months before the agreement. In securing concessions for Ameri can motor vehicles makers this coun try naturally had to give other na tions something in return. Every ef fort ban been made to avoid serious injury to any American interest through such concessions and, in some pacts, quto limits are set. to prevent dislocation of the domestic market. It is felt that increased exports will employ labor displaced by the imports accepted, and, through 1 the mutual concessions of the J?e | tions involved, the total commerce ! of each will be increased thus giving I employment to other laborers. Nat I urally, the belief is held that agri \ culture will share in the improve | ment, just like other industries. In fact, Secretary Hull recently affirmed that his trade pact policy was a vital farm aid, restoring mar kets which were removed by the old high tariff. Mr. Hull says that the Smoot-Hawley tariff "ushered in the most disastrous period in the history of American agriculture" and cites relative farm prices to sustain his contention that the farmer had "a terrible experience" with "excessive tariffs only a few short years ago." Comparing farm prices in 1932 two years after the Smoot-Hawley bill was enacted, with those in 1936, the Secretary said that the average farm price of corn in 1932 was 28c a bushel and 77c a bushel in 1936; wheat, 39c a bushel and 96c; hogs, $8.44 a han ded and 09.17; beef cattle, $4.07 a hundred and $6; butter-fat 17.9c a pound and 32.5c; wool 8.7c a pound and 26.5c. The Secretary of Agricul ture also gives the average prices for the first eight months of 1937, which is higher in each instance, but admits that they were effected by the drouth. A statement issued by the "Com mittee of Utility Executives" says that from 1923 to 1932, the indus try expended an annual average of $750,000,000 on the Administration's "punitive policy" went into effect, the average for the last five years has been only $238,6Qp,000. This has created, according to the Commit tee, a construction '"deficit" of $2, 600,000,000. At this time although the consumption of electricity in the past two years has successfully ex ceeded all previous records, the in dustry finds capital so "frightened" that it is impossible to finance new contraction which would create vast 1 employment without cost to taxpay ers. The Federal Trade Commission re- 1 commends tightening of the anti trust laws, with drastic restrictions ! on monopolistic practices. It urges ; amending the Clayton Act so as to 1 declare unlawful the acquision by 1 corporations of the physical assets : to a competing corporation which 1 would result in monopolistic tenden- 1 ties and conditions. It also recom mends that the Federal Trade Com- ; mission Act be amended to declare 1 unlawful not only "unfair methods < of competition" but also "unfair* and* : deceptive acts and practices." ? The j idea is that this latter class prim- < arily injures the public rather than : competitor and it is a difficult to ] show the latter type of injury as now required by the Statute. / ( -?. ) The Trade Commission lost some 1 of its power over price-fixing through < the Miller-Tydings bill but sMuzed < enlarged power over ties price discri- 1 mutations through-the Robinson-Pat- ] nan Act.

WORLD COTTON SUPPLY AT NSW HIGH RECORD I A record breaking world supply of (?boot 50,800,000 bales of cotton for ?the 1937-38 eeeeon is estimated by fthe Bureau of Agricultural Econo I mice in its annual cotton outlook re port. I The world supply of American cot | ton for. the current season is placed 1st about 28,600,000 bales and the world supply of foreign cotton at 127,200,000 bales. The Bureau attributes the substan Jtial increase in the estimated 1987 138 supply of foreign cotton incompar ison with the previous season to a I marked increase in Russian, Brazil ian and Chinese growths," The in crease of 66 per cent in the supply of foreign cotton in comparison with the 6-year (1928-32) average is ac counted for by "marked increases in these growths as well as material I increases in Indian, Egyptian, and miscellaneous growths." Production I of American cotton estimated in Oc~ Itober at 17,400,000 running bales is I expected to be about 42 per cent larger than the 1986 crop and the I second largest in history. Foreign production was estimated in late October at 20400,000 bales? an increase of 10 per cent above the record crop in 1936 and an in crease of 84 per cent above the 1928 82 average. World Cotton Mill consumption during the year ended July 1937 was reported at 31,009,000 bales?a new I high record. Consumption of Ameri I can cotton during this period was 113,600,000 bales?slightly larger than in the preceding year, but slightly I Jess than the 5-year average. World consumption of foreign cot ton?17,900,000 bales? was 18 per cent more than in the preceding year and 66 per cent above the 5-year average. While foreign consumption of foreign cotton increased greatly, foreign consumption of American cotton in 1936-87 declined 15 per cent below the average for the 5 pear ended July 1933. But in the United States last year the consumption of American cot ton set a new high record nearly 7, 800,000 bales. The Bureau says that "conditions in late October indicate that cotton during the 1937-38 seasofi 1 will probably be lese than the prev i ious season, but well above (he aver age for the 5 years ended 1932-83. The Bureau looked for a marked reduction ig cotton-mill consumption in Japan and China, but a further! increase in most European and a few foreign countries is expected. Increased supplies and lower pric es of American cotton relative to other growths in the early part of the season were considered "favor able to an increase in the proportion of American cotton consumed in the foreign countries in 1937-38." The supply of cottonseed in the United States was estimated at 7, 900,000 tons?the largest since 1926 27. The indicated supply of cotton seed oil (principal product of cotton seed) was reported the largest on record?the result of large stocks on hand at the beginning of the year, pins the near record production ex pected this season. ANOTHER LARGE WHEAT ACREAGE IN PROSPECT , , Another large United States seed ing of wheat?for 1988 harvest?is reported in prospect, by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics in its annual wheat outlook report "If wheat growers respond to re latively high prices this year as they have in the past, it is probable that the acreage seeded for the 1938 har vest will not differ greatly from the 81,000,000 acres seeded for this year's crop?the largest seeded acreage in the history of the country," the Bu reau says. 1 "An acreage of this size, with aver age yields and average abandonment would produce a crop of more than 1,000,000,000 bushels. The 11-bushel yield per seeded acre this year was below the 1928-82 ten-year average sf 12.9 bushels. The total abandon ment of wheat acreage this year was about 17.8 per cent, compared with the 10-year avenge of 10l2 per cetat" While it is too early to forecast the yields of 'winter wheat the fall mois ture supplies up to the middle of October suggest per acre yields in L938 hot greatly different from those in' 1937. However, if dry conditions ' :ontinue in some important areas the 1988 harvest probably would be be- ' tow 1,000,000,000 bushels. 1 The Bureau points oat that about : 360,000,000 bushels of wheat are used ' annually in the United States; that ! vitb average yields, this quantity ?uld be produced on about 56,000, X>0 acres. Production this year has 1 >een stimated at 887,000,000 over for ' ast year's crop viae about 100,000,- 1 XX) bushels. This year's total supply of wheat J -estimated at 086,000,000 bushels ? 4 s the largest since 1982. Domestic ') xmsamptiou plus exports may tootal i r85,000,000 bushels in the July 1, 1988 carryover?or double the July %t A L987 figure. j . -?" 1 <<; :>. ^5^7^ ;?
