Washington, D. C.—Experienced
-politicians in Washington—and there
are more of them here to the square
inch than ever before —are wonder
ing why newspapers and commenta
tors began to call the London Eco
nomic Conference a “failure” be
fore it had really begun. As a matter
of fact, the'Administration regards
the work of the conference so far
as highly successful from the Ameri
can point of view.
The French tried to stampede the
British and American delegations in
to agreeing to an immediate stabili
zation of the dollar and the pound
in terms of gold, declaring that the
conference could go on until that
was done. The British stood firmly
with the Americans against this, and
President Roosevelt’s message blunt
ly put an end to the French effort.
From the point of view of France,
it seems necessary to the political
future of the present government
to keep the French currency on a
gold basis. The French people are
still grieving over their capital loss
es when the franc was debased from
a value of 20 cents gold to about
four cents. Any further change in
their currency system, it is feared,
would result in a social revolution,
probably with a Socialist govern
ment coming into power.
Like a Convention
’"The London conference is just
like any political convention in
America,” said one shrewd commen
tator here. “Everybody knows that
most of the delegates don’t know
what’s going on. The real work is
done in committees whose conclu
sions are ratified by the convention.
London has now got its committees
set up, and they are at work, and
whatever the conference does will be
the result of their deliberations.”
The major victory thus far has
been won by the American delega
tion, through the general acceptance
of the American proposal to reduce
the gold reserve percentage behind
currencies and to permit the use of
twenty percent of silver in such re
serves. The Administration seems
firmly committed to the remonetiza
tion of silver, and the outlook now
is favorable for complete coopera
tion of all the great silver-producing
nations.
President Roosevelt’s program for
higher commodity prices all over the
world has also been accepted in
principle by the chief delegations at
London.
The Dollar’s Level
There is a decided belief here that
perhaps within a couple of months,
perhaps not until the end of the year,
whenever the commodity price level
reaches a point comparable with
1926, the dollar will be stabilized at
a point probably about 60 per cent
of its present gold value. In the
meantime, the dollar will be permit
ted to “runloose” and find its own
level, in foreign trade.
Prices generally are rising, but the
average of basic commodities is still
more than 30 per cent below the
1926 average. Every rise in price
has resulted so far in starting up
factory wheels and putting men
back to work. Every possible effort
is being made by the Industrial Re
covery Administration to bring in
dustries into line with their codes
of fair practice, minimum wages
and maximum work hours.
A good .many industrial leaders
are beginning to show that they do
not like the idea of being compell
ed to cooperate with others in their
respective lines. There probably is
more bark than bite in their pro-
tests, and there certainly is a bite
behind the bark of General Hugh
Johnson, who has power under the
law to require every industry to
take out a Federal license to do busi
ness and conform to regulations far
more onerous than would be requir
ed under voluntary agreements.
Want Authority
What most manufacturers feel is
needed is authority for their trade
associations to fix minimum prices
and compel all to adhere to them.
If they are going to be saddled with
higher wages and shorter working
hours, they would like to feel assur
ed of profit enough to carry the
increased cost of production.
It is being freely predicted here
that the Administration will do an
about-face on this point and author
ize price-fixing in order to hasten the
program of reemployment..
Rising prices of agricultural com
modities so far are held here as to
be the result of the fall of the dollar
more than to any other cause. In
the case of wheat, serious drought
conditions have helped reduce the
crop expectations, and that has help
ed put up the price. No such con
dition obtains in cotton, however,
which has gone up proportionately
more than wheat, and in which com
modity there is a huge unconsumed
surplus and the prospect of a larger
crop than ever unless the plan for
plowing under a quarter of the 1933
crop before picking time begins is
carried out.
Making Progress
A permanent rise in cotton prices
and all other farm commodity
prices must depend upon reduced
production, the Administration holds.
As this is written it seems probable
that enough cotton growers will ac
cept the Government’s offer to lease
the acreage which they are asked to
plow in, to bring the 1933 crop down
to under ten million bales.
The wheat processing tax has gone
into effect, and the millers are pass
ing more than the 30 cents a bushel
on to the bakers, who in turn are
putting up the price of bread by
about a cent a loaf. They probably
will be permitted to get by with that
increase, but the Secretary of Agri
culture is on the lookout for any un
reasonable rise in retail bread prices
and it will not be safe for bakers
to try to gouge their customers.

Fig and Tomato
Recipes
By MELBA SPARKS. H. D. A.
i
Below are receipts which are in
demand at present:
Fig Jam
Below are recipes which are in
drain, stem and peel. To every gal
lon of peeled figs add 2 quarts of
sugar, mash and cook to the proper
consistency. When nearing the finish
ing point be careful not to scorch.
If using a thermometer, cook to
222 degrees F. or 106 degrees F.
Fig Conserve
2 lbs. fresh figs, or 1 qt, figs (plais
canned), 1 orange, 1-8 tsp. of salt,
1 1-2 lbs. sugar, 1-2 c. pecal (shell
ed). Cut all ingredients into small
pieces and cook until thick and trans
parent, about 1 hour. Add nuts 5
minutes before removing from stove.
Pack into sterilized jars and process
pint jars at simmering 30 minutes.
Sweet Pickle Figs
Prepare figs in same manner as
for fig preserves. Cook 5 qts. of figs
until tender in a 30 degree syrup.
When figs become tender, add 4 c.
of sugar, 2 c. of vinegar, 1 tbsp, of
cinnamon, 1 tbsp, of cloves, 1 tsp.
of allspice, and tsp. of mace and
cook until figs are clear and trans
parent. Let them stand in this
syrup overnight. Next morning pack
the fruit into jars, cover with the
syrup and process pint jars for 15
minutes at boiling or 30 minutes at
180 degrees F. (simmering).
Chili Sauce
1 gallon of ripe tomatoes, 1-2 c.
chopped white onions, 1-2 c. chopped
sweet green peppers, 1-2 c. chopped
red peppers, 1 c. sugar (brown is
preferable), 2 tbsps. ginger, 1 tbsp,
cinnamon, 1 tbsp, mustard, 1 nut
meg (grated), 1 pt. vinegar, 2 tbsp,
salt, 1-2 tsp. cayenne pepper.
Peel and chop the tomatoes and
onions. Boil all ingredients except
vinegar together for two hours or
'until soft and broken. Add vinegar
and simmer for one hour, stirring
frequently. Put in jar and seal while
hot. (Spices should be tied in muslin
bag).
Tomato Ketchup
Select red-ripe tomatoes. The ex
tra juice, and small and broken fruit
which will not do for canning, may
be used, if they are sound and red.
Any green or yellowish parts of
fruits will make a ketchup inferior
in flavor and color, and not good
for markets. Use whole spices tied
loosely in a bag while cooking and
remove before bottling to prevent
darkening the product caused by
ground spices. This does not apply
to red pepper. The ground Hun
garian paprica may also be used to
give color and flavor.
Cook the tomatoes thoroughly, put
through a colander or sieve and
measure. For every gallon of pulp,
use the following: 2 tbsp, salt, 4
tbsp, black pepper, 4 tbsp, sugar, 1
tbsp, mustard, 1 pt. good vinegar,
1 tbsp, each of allspice, cloves, cinna
mon, 2 small red peppers sliced and
seed removed, 1 c. sweet red pepper,
measured after putting through
sieve.
Green Tomato Pickle
1 gal. green tomatoes, 1-2 doz.
large onions, 3 c. brown sugar, 1-2
lemon, 3 pods of red pepper, 3 c.
vinegar, 1 tbsp, whole black pepper,
1 tbsp, whole cloves, 1 tbsp, whole
allsnice, Itbsp. celery seed (crushed).
1 tbsp, mustard seed, 1 tbsp, ground
mustard.
Slice the tomatoes and onions thin.
Sprinkle over them 1-2 c. salt and
let stand overnight in a crock or
enamel vessel. Next morning fresh
en in cold water for an hour. Tie
the pepper, cloves, allspice and celery
seed in a cheese cloth bag. Slice
the lemon and chop 2 pepper pods
very fine. Drain the tomato and
onion well. Add all seasoning ex
cept 1 pepper pod to the vinegar,
then add the tomato and onion. Cook
for 1-2 hour, stirring gently at in
tervals to prevent burning. Remove
spice to bag to prevent darkening
product. Pack in 11 oz. jars and
garnish with slender strips of the
red pepper, placing them vertically
on the opposite sides of each jar.
Process for 15 minutes.
These recipes are standard 4-H
Club recipes and are very good.
Others may be had on request.

“Right this way,
K You Please Sir!”
Unless you happen to be an invited guest of the British
Royal Family, the best way to “see” Windsor Castle is
under the convoy of a uniformed guide. In a sing-song
patter, he will tell you its history . . . point out things of
interest whose full significance would escape the unattend
ed tourist.
It also saves time and shoe-leather to use “guides”
when you do your daily marketing at home. These guides
are the advertisements in this paper. They tell you
where, when, and the equally important “how much.”
By consulting the advertisements, you know in ad
vance what the stores have to offer. If you are pressed
for time, you can do your shopping by telephone, with the
newspaper before you as a definite quide. Read the ad
vertisements . . . the big ones and the little ones.
