Never before cr Martin Dies (whose hatred of since has the annual a yield n tContuiued toped Papists is his politicalthe stock-in-'"isupport Texas) enlisted billion bushels. But last week's estimates placed the 1938 yield between 1,020,023,000 and 1,045,023,000 bu., on top of a 200,000,000-bu- . carry over. Annual U. S. consumption is about half this stupendous total. With light crops in England, Italy and North Africa, there is a slim chance the U. S. may export a sizable share of its surplus. Cotton. Although U. S. cotton growers planted only 28,000,000 acres this year, compared with 34,000.000 in 1937, they are expected to harvest a bumper crop of some 13,000,000 bales and already have a carryover of nearly that much. Last fortnight cotton prices slumped to e lows, since then have partially recovered mainly on rumors of from heavy rains in the cotton belt, minor floods in the dust bowl. While 1938 exports are up slightly from last year, U. S. cotton mills have cut production and world consumption for this season is down 13 per cent. In all likelihood cotton growers this summer will need Government help more than ever. Corn. After last lear's huge corn harvest (2,644,995,000 bu.), farmers were asked to plant 18 per cent fewer acres. But many ignor ed the request. By this fall, it is estimated that the 1938 corn crop will be average, but that last year's surplus will total 300,000,000 bu. 30 per cent above normal. rresentative Samuel Dickstein is his politi-t'be hatred of Nazis on Manhattan's fLisast Side).

The National Economic Committee represents the next move in a basic Administration policy to extend Government control (and perhaps "planning") further towards the roots of Tj. S. Business: it gives SEC, the Federal Trade Commission and other branches of the Administration the full inquisitorial power of Congress, otherwise denied them by law, plus control of the inquiry's money; it assures the New Deal an unlimited supply of raw political ore from which to coin votes for the November election: it imposes upon Franklin Roose velt heavy responsibility for the manner in which the broadest, deepest business InvestFgation ever voted by Congress shall be conducted. m upon U r ... v. r .5.. j . x- 'V . v v built permanency into the automobile business, which is on a sclid founda tion now as compared to the earlier times, when the fathers of the students were entering it. The sons of dealers, he said, would start in the field as salesmen and managers under d very favorable circumstances as to earlier times. "We still need good retail salesmen in the automobile business," said Mr. Knudsen. "The most successful is the one who knows his own car, the factory behind it, and the organization of the company." The school for sons of dealers was organized for this purpose by W. E. Holler, general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Division, and is one of the phases of the Quality' Dealer Program which was introduced three y years ago to improve relationships. Mr. Knudsen pointed out in his talk to the students that it is to the inter-- : est of the corporation to see that the men in field are strong, and that rules of equity apply between factory and dealer and between dealers. He said that dealers were assured of a square deal from the corporation.

But by last week half of Canton's population had fled, its broad avenues were piled high with debris, thousands of hovels were leveled and the city looked like a human slaughterhouse. Japanese bombers, apparently operating from an off sea base near the Portugese colony of Macao, for the third successive week streaked bombs down on Canton in almost daily raids. To Canton's symphony of stenches was added that of dead, decaying flesh, intensified by sweltering heat. Rescue workers, handerchiefs over their nos trils, scrabbled in the ruins to drag out the injured, could give no account of the total casualties. "The city is like an open grave in which the living and dead are mixed inextricably," cabled one harried newspaperman.

Fortnight ago Peruvian and Ecua dorian soldiers tangled around the border mark and the two nations ex changed heated remonstrances. The entire Cabinet of army officers, under Ecuador's military Dictator-GenerG. Alberto Enriquez, resigned in a body to take their places in the army, were replaced last week with civilian ministers. All week mobs roamed the plazas of Quito, Ecuador's little capital, chanting "Down With Peru! Long Live Ecuador!" Peru's Foreign Minister Carlos Concha was calmer: "In Peru we have not yet lost our heads. Our country is in a process of prosperous development and the Government heads would have to be completely mad to think of war." Nevertheless, Peru's President-GenerOscar R.

S. for a few days last week "to find out what the length of your depression will be." Said Lord Stamp: "We are anxious to learn the reaction cf business here toward Roosevelt's gestures toward your business. I think there's a good deal of T won't play' among your businessmen, and we do hope business here gets over that attitude. . . You should remember that the personality of your President is not an argument. It has only an artistic or emotional bearing." Not so pleasing to the ears of the President, who faces elections in the fall, was Lord Stamp's remark: "You can't possibly recover within the next six months."
