This Week in Washington
(PUBLISHER’S AUTOCASTER SERVICE)
Washington, D. C.—Official Wash
ington believes that the nation has
not only entered upon an era of
economic recovery, but that some
thing resembling a real “boom” is
imminent.
That outlook, while encouraging
in many ways, is not, however, to
the liking of folk who have a keen
recollection of the great boom of
1926-29, and of the crash which fol
lowed its collapse.
How to control the tendency to
ward rising prices and prevent the
boom from developing into such a
speculative wave as that which
swept the nation ten years ago is
the problem to which many of the
ablest minds in the Administration
are giving very serious thought.
The best opinion expressed here is
that new efforts to control prices
and curb speculation, either by Gov
ernment action alone or by closer
co-operation between Government
and business, will be undertaken
when the new Congress gets under
way.
The recovery which is definitely
here will be of little benefit to the
great mass of the people if its result
is to increase the cost of living by
sending commodity prices sky-high.
Official Washington is more appre
hensive of that than of the recur
rence of a speculative boom on the
Stock Exchange.
The powers already granted to
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission are regarded as being suffi
cient, if intelligently used, to prevent
any such “runaway” market as de
veloped in 1929; though the stock
market naturally reflects increased
business prosperity, and the price of
stocks is based, in the main, upon
the business outlook.
Pay and Hour Problem
What Washington fears is that it
may be found difficult or impossible
to prevent drastic rises in the prices
of the ordinary commodities of life,
especially in view of the growing
strength of the demand for higher
wages and shorter hours for workers
in industry.
There is a very real conflict now
in progress on a number of fronts
between those who accept the view
that high wages and free competi
tion are not incompatible with low
prices to consumers, and those who
still believe in the price-maintenance
policy which underlay the N.R.A.
Those who hold that the general
welfare is best served by fixing re
tail prices to consumers received
considerable encouragement when
the Supreme Court unanimously de
clared constitutional the laws of Illi
nois and California permitting man
ufacturers of trade-marked goods to
fix the price at which retailers must
sell them.
A similar law in New York State
had been declared unconstitutional
by the State Court of Appeals, but
the Supreme Court of the United
States now holds that any state has
authority to abolish price-cutting to
consumers by this means. Fourteen
states now have laws of a similar
nature. It is anticipated here that

Industrial Progress Move
What is looked upon as a move
i in that direction, if not actually a
revival of NRA, is the trend de
veloped at the recent conference
held here under the direction of
Major George L. Berry, the Presi
dent’s Coordinator for Industrial
• Cooperation.
Even though a definite plan did
not come out of this Council for In
dustrial Progress, and many import
ant leaders of business and industry
were not represented, resolutions
were adopted recommending the re
establishment of something like the
old N. R. A., with agreements be
tween labor and employers on
wages and hours, and on fair trade
practices among business interests
in the same lines.
This cannot be accepted as the
■ Administration’s plan, but it is the
basis upon which, it is believed, the
Administration will attempt to re
establish N. R. A.’s basic principles.
The major weakness, as many
large business enterprises see it, is
that its control and direction are
under a labor leader. Major Berry
is president of the International
Pressman’s Union. As a result very
few of the important industries of
the nation took part in the confer
ence. While that conference was on
the National Association of Manu
facturers was staging a Congress of
American Industry in New York. A
new spirit in the thinking of busi
ness in public relations was mani
fested, as the speakers pledged co
operation with Washington and
promised to meet Government at
least half way, in promoting eco
nomic security for workers, greater
employment and better wages and
working conditions.
The general purposes of the New
Deal were approved, though all of
its methods were not indorsed.
Big and Little View*
The main divergence between the
two points of ivew, that expressed
by Major Berry’s conference which
represented the “little fellows” in
business, and that of the large indus
tries, is that the big follows put the
emphasis on lower prices to con
sumers and greater purchasing
power for workers, while the other
group fixed its eyes mainly on the
insuring of profits to producers and
dealers.
Therein are the makings of a real
clash which will be echoed in Con-
I gress when proposals for new legis
lation affecting business come up
for consideration.
In the meantime, keep an eye on
Secretary Wallace, who is coming
to the front as a spokesman for the
Administration’s economic program
in industry and business as well as
in agriculture. Under-cover gossip
has it that Mr. Roosevelt is “groom
ing” Mr. Wallace as his successor.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
Veterinary Medical
Notes
By Clayton Stephens, Senior
Student at A. P. I.
As applied to the lower animal
kingdom a parasite is any living
organism living on or in an animal.
Some may be seen with the naked
eye and some can be seen only with
the microscope. Some spend their
entire life on the animal and some
spend only a part of their life there- 1
on. All gain their entire living
from the body of the animal or from
food that the animal eats. Some
produce very little harm and some !
produce all the harm from slight
inconvenience to death. All are a :
source of loss to the owner of the 1
animal. No claim is made that all !
animals may be kept free of all 1
parasites at all times, but it is pos- '
sible to greatly reduce the numbers I
of parasites and thereby make more :
money from animals.
Very few animals are actually
killed by parasites, but practically ’
all the animals on any farm are j
harboring a great number. Besides .
consuming the flesh and blood of the
animals they create poisons that '
keep the animal from being per- i
fectly well, though to the eye he 1
may seem perfectly normal. When ,
you kill an apparently normal hog 1
or cow if you could collect all the '
parasites from the carcass you would 1
be greatly surprised. The greatest
harm is done on young animals, for i
they are less able to stand the drain
and poisons. A peculiar condition 1
is the fact that most of the parasites
are specific for their hosts. An ex
ample is the horse hot. He will not
attack any animal except the horse
or mule. The grub that attacks the
cow’s back will not bother other
animals.
Great care is necessary in order
to keep parasites at a minimum, but
the care will be reflected in the
pocketbook, and after all that is the
most sensitive place. In order to
rid the animals of parasites one
should know the nature of the para
sites and the nature of the agents
used to kill the invaders. Each one
has a special drug that is most ef
fective against him and the drugs
must be used in special ways. Then
too, great care must be exercised
in dosage. Many animals have been
killed while ridded of parasites and
that is not the best practice. If too
little of the drug is used the para
sites will not be killed and if too
much is used the host will be killed,
so the happy medium must be fol
lowed. Just enough to kill the enemy
and not enough to kill the host must
be used.
Let us take one parasite for ex
ample—the horse bot. He lays his
eggs on the horse’s legs around
August and in about a month or two
the grubs are found in the stomach.
These grubs attach themselves to
the lining of the stomach and suck
blood and prevent the digestive juices
from entering the stomach. That’s
bad. He can cause “colic” and he
can cause death, but he doesn’t often
do either. In most cases he stays
there for a few months and lives
off the horse’s blood that was made
from your corn. You lose corn and
the horse loses blood. Carbon di
sulphide will cause the bot to lose
his life, but it must be given with
care or the horse may lose his.

THE SPREAD OF CHRISTIANITY
Lesson for Dec. 27: Hebrews 2:1-4
Golden Text: Revelation 11:15
By REV. CHAS. E. DUNN
We have been studying the early
expansion of Christianity within the
boundaries of the Roman Empire.
Under the compulsion of this initial
impulse the faith of Christ has
spread to all corners of the globe.
Few people realize the extent
and variety of the services rendered
through the centuries by the many
ambassadors of the Master who have
tried to do for their generation
what the apostle Paul did for his.
Consider what is happening today
in distant lands.
Over in east Africa the Interna
tional Missionary Council is promot
ing a research project the aim of
which is to present the film in an
effective channel of entertainment
and education. In Japan the Chris
tian forces, inspired by their great
leader, Kagawa, are vitally inter
ested in various types of coopera
tives. For example, there are near
ly a hundred medical co-operatives,
hospitals conducted by the people as
consumer-owners.
The eight thousand men and
women who have gone out from the
13 Christian universities and col
leges of China are serving in every
province and in practically every
city of that distracted Republic.
52 per cent of those listed in a re
cent edition of “Who’s Who in Chi
na” are alumni of these Christian
institutions.
A similar scene confronts us in
India where in one district the
government authorities gratefully
acknowledge that their finest teach
ers come from the Christian higher
schools.
All of this proves that the Chris
tian movement abroad exerts an
influence out of all proportion to
its size. While the financial re
sources available for the missionary
enterprise have been sadly depleted,
notable advances have nevertheless
been made by the missionaries of
the Cross who have stuck to their
posts despite many discouragements.
