Show i SB SEEN- -' HEARD around the National Capital -- By CARTER nELD3 President Roosevelt about the future triflr policy of tfcit country, and his tiiougfau at to what would be best for vrjr country, la conversations with Luther, the German ambassador hearing on the desire of Germany to have a greater market for her prod-o-- t tn this country. Incidentally, In Justice to Doctor Luther, it should be stated that the President himself told of the conversations, permitting his own views to be restated. Doctor Luther did not violate the President's confidence. Following the conversations, the President ordered that a study be made of the trade between Germany and the United States, lie wanted the figures not only of the actual purchases by Germany in this country and by the United States in Germany, but of every other factor bearing on the problem. Among other things, expenditures by American tourists In iprmany, payments by Americans for ervleea by Germans, such as ship passages, freights. Insurance. Also Interest and dividend payments. If any. And all that sort of thing. In short, the President really wants to know whether, at the end of any given period of time, Germany would naturally owe money to the United y States or the other way 'round. what Is called triangular trade would figure In this. For example, if Germany should sell some dyestuffs t Mexico, which should pay for them by selling silver or winter tomatoes to the United States. In which case, to complete the triangle, the United .State should export something to Germany, closing the transaction. Now In the past, should such an Investigation have revealed that the United States was owed money at the end of a year, It would have been hailed as a "favorable balance of trade" and been treated as something fine and to be built up by every possible expedient That still is tho candid attitude of every commerce department in the entire world. It was the mental attitude of the Germans In starting this discussion with President Roosevelt President Roosevelt is probably the first head of a government In the world's history to approach the problem from the strict balance of trade angle. WasblDfrton. ivrealed bis idea IfcK-to- r Nat-nmli- Balanced Trade In the present Investigation, Mr. Roosevelt makes It clear that If It is shown, so far as could be learned, that at the end of a year Germany in present trade operations .would owe the United States say one million dollars, then Mr. Rootevelt would favor letting down the bars against German goods sufficiently to enable Germany to maintain Its balance of trade with the United States on an even keel the other hand, if it should be shown that at the end of a year the United States would owe Germany On one million dollars, then restrictions against German imports should be Jacked up sufficiently to keep out Just about one million dollars' worth of German goods annually. The objective is very simple. He wants a balance of trade so that there will be no piling up of debts by one country to another. For several reasons, One is that he thinks this is the only natural method by which trade can continue indefinitely. A balanced trade, he thinks, encourages more trade. It la another way of stating one of the old arguments against tariff barriers that to sell goods abroad one must buy goods abroad otherwise the purchasers abroad will have no credit with which to purchase our goods. - But there is a' more immediate The necessity for the same result President enormously Interested In the gold question, does not want to encourage such unbalanced trade operations that It will be necessary to ship gold from one country to another. As long as International trade is really balanced no gold shipments would be necessary. For somewhat different reasons, the President wants to attain one of the chief objectives of Mussolini, who, every time he finds the balance of trade running against Italy, slaps on more prohibitory restrictions against Imports. Except that no one believes Mussortnl would be disturbed !f It were suddenly discovered that Italy's exports were far in excess of her Imports. No Rail Legislation Railroad Administrator Eastman Is playing poker with the railroads, in a way, and the results may not be apparent to the naked eya for some time to come. One thing Is fairly certain. There will be no Important railroad legislation at this session. This Is not only the program of Mr. Eastman, It Is agreeable to the President, and It Is satisfactory to Chairman Dill of the senate Interstate commerce committee., The poker game comes In on the references to government con&tant ownership and operation In the first of the Eastman reports. Actually Mr. Eastman does not want government ownership at least not at present But he holds the picture ap In a sort of coming events cast their shadows before" manner for the railroad executives and security holders to see. If they do not do just what he mints, the Inference is, here la what ' : may happen. At this particular bo?ey man Is very different from the big bad wolf of the popular song for the railroad executives are very afraid of him Indeed. Far more afraid. Incidentally, than the stockholders. The latter figure that If the government should take over the roads It would pay them something for them. Whereas It is rather difficult to sell railroad stocks today, and very few of them are paying dividends. But what Mr. Eastman really wants Is to frighten the railroad executives, the men who would lose their Jobs and their perquisites If the government took the roads over, or at least would be la danger of losing them. Into doing the sort of thing he wants, Far lie wants a lot of wore than the railroad executives have any desire to give. He Is willing to let them have a little gravy In return. But If he does not get the coordination, not only will the railroad executives get no gravy, but watch out for the wrath to cornel For the next step on the program la considerably more power for the railroad administrator to force railroad consolidations where and when and bow he pleases or may deem expedient! And It is very likely that whenever Eastman presses the button, that President assuming always Roosevelt remains behind him, congress will Jump to give the powers asked. ssrMli m! - .5.- - .' , - h r,ame Favored as Replacement Crop MEN OF WEIGHT IN THE NATION BELOW THE ?

W-l- Tired of Delay V J For congress Is rather tired of this railroad consolidation delay. It has been told for years that consolidations would help the problem tre- mendously. In fact It has been given no argument on the other side what ever. Yet after voting again and again for legislation, which several Presidents have told the nation's lawmakers would expedite consolidations, they find nothing has happened. Consolidations seem as remote today as when congress was first told of their advantages back In the first part of the nardlng administration. Meanwhile the public, along with congress, has read of this or that plan for merging the roads of the four big systems, and the five big systems until It has grown weary of the story. But the railroads stay Not that congress Is really understanding and sympathetic about the question of merging the railroads. On the contrary, It voted last session to that In the proposed be arranged it was hoped by Mr, Eastman no employees working on a certain date were to be discharged. Of course the desire at the time was strong to prevent any increase in unemployment. But the point Is that the railroads could not of course save or even much money by by mergers for that matter, if they were not to be permitted to cut down the labor costs of operation as a re- sult. Eastman Is trying to get congress moment to rescind that little Joker. It hamstrings his efforts to worked out It get makes mergers not worth while. That Is the gravy Eastman Ms trying to tempt the executives with. Normally congress would never give In on such a thing. Labor influence alone would prevent it. But the radical tinge of the Eastman report puts a different aspect even on that So he may get It , at the Deposit Insurance Producing treasury figures carefully concealed In the early stages of bank deposit Insurance, Senator Arthur II. Vandenberg of Michigan Is heading a movement in congress to maintain the status quo on deposit Insurance, instead of stepping up the Insurance feature on July 1, as provided In the present law. At present all deposits in banks approved by the treasury are Insured np to $2,500. On July 1, under the law. deposits up to $10,000 will be insured 100 per cent, deposits from $10,000 tip to $50,000 will be Insured 75 per cent and deposits over $50,000 will be Insured SO per cent. "It seems to me," Senator Vandenberg says in explanation of his pro'temporary posal, "that the deposit Insurance fund,' meaning tlx formula which Insures deposits up to d $2,500, is already Justifying itself any possibility of successfml controversy; and I shall be veiy much surprised if those banking Interests of the country that fought w bitterly against us when we were undertaking to inject this formula Into law will persist, In the the face of the demonstration we no witness. In their contemplated effoi'i n to remove the deposit Insurance from the existing law. If they dto persist, they will be beaten, becauae they will find an overwhelming sentiment among the small bankers, tts well as the depositors, for Its continuance. "But I think we should very solemnly consider whether or not tb best welfare of the deposit Insurance Idea would not be advanced If the temporary formula the $2,500 formula were to be made the permanent formula, at least until such a time as we could have had a substantial experience with it "We know the temporary formula protects 07 per cent of the depositors. Hence we have reached our objective through this temporary formula, for it is In this 97 per cent this great mass of the people, that the hysteria occurs which generates runs." Senator Vandenberg has tables from the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation showing that the total number of deposits Insured Is 53,300,(502, aggregating $15,210,113,000. d Glass-Steaga- see-tlo- Copyright - t i ' mm' (. v? f UTAH LEHI FREE PRESS, LEHI, ' WND Barrios, ... food-plan- ron-tiar- at, lib-ar- In the assassination 1'U' -- Cerro. rv?4 Little' wim Peru." the world III oraBwH or bouth America.
