Narcotic authorities throughout the country have started a grim. Intensive drive against the use of marihuana, one of the most Insidious and pernicious dope evils of the Twentieth century. The campaign will he prosecuted with an Intensity that no- - similar past crusade has known. And it probably will fail. Almost Inevitably it must do so. But that Is not deterring United States officials from bending every effort to stamping out widespread use of marihuana. If anything, their determination was whetted by the recent discovery here of the raw material for 1,000,000 reefers.

Reluctantly leaving the oak desk of an English public school, a fourteen-year-ol- d boy within three weeks will ascend a golden throne to become a multimillionaire and a ruler with the power of life and death over 300,000 people. His name Is Rajah Sardar Singh Radadur, and he is the ruler of Khetri, one of the richest first-clas- s native states in India.

This country, he pointed out, had tried to escape that logical conclusion In every For instance, by way possible. buying foreign goods, which In too many Instances were now worthless, so that the goods bought with the proceeds were actually gifts to foreign nations. By plain Inference he suggested that It would be better to take which would have some goods, value, than promises to pay, which had very little. But this runs directly counter to the logic of Hillman and his fellow theorists, who are not worrying at all about the cotton growers who want to keep on growing cotton and sell it abroad. They are worrying about the American workers who could be employed at fabricating the goods with which the foreign countries would buy the cotton and other exports of this country. Boiled down, this difference of opinion in the left wing Is precisely the old economic difference supposedly at least between the Democrats and the Republicans In the period between Reconstruction and William Jennings Bryan's Introduction of free silver.

The ceremony, attended by Premier Mussolini, was on tin twelfth anniversary of Mussolinis famous March on Rome, Pressure from all over the country to have the government proceed without limit to take up all the home mortgages anyone may desire at 5 per cent, and thus definitely force the mortgage rate to that figure, will not be the determining factor in what the President decides shall be done. Two factors will determine whether the President has congress Increase the amount of money for home mortgages. First, whether private capital, through the banks, building and loan associations. Insurance companies, etc., seems to be filling the need and supplying funds at reasonable necessary rates of Interest Second, whether there should appear to be danger of a new wave of mortgage foreclosures. Which Is really two ways of saying the same thing will private capital function on the administrations terms, or will it not? Already there Is In process enough political pressure to stampede congress, under normal conditions. For If there is a senator or member of the house whose office has not been deluged In the last week or so with demands that tills or that mortgage loan be made, whether the money set aside for the purpose is exhausted or not, he Is singularly fortunate. The point Is there are enough letters In the office of every senator and member of the house to force them under ordinary circumstances to believe that, whatever may be the right or wrong of the matter, here is a need so Important that It must be recognized. But the President is very much In the saddle. A great many members of both houses of congress are so fixed that they simply must oppose the President on the bonus. Britain Launches Another Huge Submarine Watchful Waiting The President, however, Is pursuing a course of watchful waiting. Of one thing he Is determined. There Is going to be no wave of foreclosures. If private capital does not finance the country's mortgages on homes, the government will. But he hopes private capital will, because there are plenty of uses for government money, and In huge amounts, to which he would prefer to devote It For instance, mortgages for new home building. There is no limit practically, to the amount of money the administration Is eager to pour out In this di- rection. That sort of loan means something to the return of prosperity. It means Jobs for all the varieties of building trades. It means sales of lumber, cement plumbing fixtures, roofing, heating plants, paint and varnish. It means that the workers getting these Jobs will spend the money and boost the sales of virtually every line of Industry. And the same for the workers In the plants which produce the building materials, even the coal miners and the lumbermen in the woods. Whereas, the funds poured out by the Home Owners Loan corporation simply represent the transfer of debts from private agencies to the government. They do not represent a single Job provided for a Jobless man or woman. And the security to the government that the loans will be paid back actually Is a little less sound than the mortgages on new property, for obvious reasons. Silver Sellers Strike With nothing like the total amount of silver In hand that the government had planned to acquire, It Is apparent that the treasury has run into shallow water In Its' buying campaign. China and India, according to latest reports, have simply closed np as far as selling silver Is concerned. They have 'been finally convinced that the United States government Is determined to put the price up, and are waiting for the higher price before selling. The point Is whether they should attempt to go ahead and comply with the terms of the silver act, buying the requisite amount of no matter what It may cost. The alternative, of course, Is to stop buying, and point out the situation to congress when that body, which passed the law, convenes. So far the governments actions have had the effect of advancing the price of silver more than 10 cents an ounce. Starting at around 45 cents, the price gradually rose on government buying until, Just before it reached 50 cents, the government nationalized at that figure. It simply commandeered all the silver In the country at 50 cents an ounce. Just as It commandeered all the gold at the old price before marking It np to $35 an ounce. Since then heavy government buying has gradually forced the price of silver up In the world market to around 55 cents. At Just this point, the sellers strike was encountered. U. S. Put One Over Moreover, the United States put one over on the metal speculators of the world on gold, and they remembered It very sharply. It will be recalled that Wall Street and Europe both simply refused to believe that the United States was going to devalue the dollar In gold, and hence sold gold to the United States government at way below the $35 price, despite the fact that the President had congressional authority to fix the price of gold In dollars, at something like $42. They were fooled that time, but now comes the United States government doing the same thing to the world price of silver, and this time the world speculators are not so eager to sell. It Is true that this time they do not have an accurate idea of what the final goal of the United States treasury Is for the The old coinage price of silver. price Is $1.29 an ounce. The price being paid for newly mined silver Is 62 cents. The coinage price, If gold Is devalued the remaining 9 cents authorized, and If silver Is restored to the old coinage level, would be $2.53. So that they know that 62 cents Is the positive bottom line of the governments possible objective, and 52.58 Is the positive top line. That is entirely too much leeway, but. since the note to China ended all doubts that the government would pursue Its silver policy, it Is not surprising the world should refuse to sell silver much below the positive low figure of this country's goal.
