Big Mayoralty
Fight Looming
For New York
By-MARK BARRON
NEW YORK, Aug 10.-G)-With
November approaching and a new
mayor of New York to be elected,
Judge Samuel Seabury, dignified but
persistent, continues hisbattle with
Tammany.
As a result, political observers are
agreed that Chief John F. Curry
and his Tiger machine are confront-
ed with the most threatening fusion
opposition since the '80's, when the
Rev. Dr. Parkhurst set out to reform
local governmental offices.
Fiorello H. La Guardia, former
congressman, noted for his aggres-
siVeness, is the mayoralty candidate
of the Republicans and their fusion-
ist cohorts. He was chosen at the
insistence of Seabury, who has be-
come virtual dictator of the several
factions warring on Tammany.
Declines Opportunity to Run
Seabury refused the nomination
himself because he feared the pub-
lic might think he was trying to
capitalize his role as prosecutor when
the Hofstadter legislative investiga-
tion resulted in the removal or res-
ignation of a number of city officials.
La Guardia, who calls himself an
independent Republican but really
belongs to no party, begins this cam-
paign with much stronger support
than when he lost to Jimmie Walker
in 1929. It is expected that practi-
cally all tlie 400,000 Republican votes
will be in line for him.
In addition there will be the votes
controlled by the several fusionist
organizations co-operating with the
0. 0. P. forces. An indication of
this strength is the fact that about
200,000 anti-Tammany voters wrote
in the name of Joseph V. McKee,
acting 'mayor, when Mayor John P.
O'Brien was elected last fail to fill
out Walker's unexpired term.
The fusionists base their campaign
on budget reform and that ancient
slogan of "Turn the rascals out."
Not Worrying Openly
Tammany goes along -quietly with
its plans to re-elect Mayor O'Brien,
although there are persistent rumor
that if the La Guardia forces gather
too much strength, the Tiger may
select another man as its candidate.
Curry and his fellow leaders ex-
press little anxiety over their future.
With a record of usually polling more
than 60 per cent of the total votes,
and with the influence of 145,000
Tammany office holders, the' Tiger
is entrenched behind what many be-
lieve to be an impregnable defense.
Nevertheless, the machine is aware
that it faces an unusual amount of
criticism and dissatisfaction, partly
because of the unstable condition of
nunicipalnfinances and O'Brien's
plans for new taxation.

pared by the women's physical edu-
cation department for a picnic and

"Questo si fara soffrire un poco,"
says his dentist, like most of his pro-
fession when about to embark on

Ways and means to cope with the "fight to the finish attitude of
milk strikers occupied the attention of Gov. Herbert H. Lehman (left)
as disorders continued over the New York milk sectors. He conferred
with Maj.-Gen. William Haskell (upper right) to determine what
forces would be available if it became necessary to call out the state
militia. Dr. Thomas Parran, Jr., (lower right), member of the state
.milk control board, notified health officers that the milk shed would
be widened, if necessary, to prevent a milk famine.
Two 01 Brain Trust Heads Tell
Their National Recovery Plans
South America,
Antarctic Have
Different Soils
The Antarctic Continent, the great
ice-capped land of the South Pole,
probably is more closely related to
Australia and Africa than to South
America, despite the fact that the
tail of that continent is only some
700 miles from Antarctic soil, labora-
tory study here of the rock speci-
mens brought back by the Byrd Ex-
pedition now indicates.
Whether the Antarctic Continent
developed independently of other
large land masses, or whether it is
related in some degree to South
America, Australia or Africa, has
long puzzled geologists, since the
thick ice which covers most of the
land makes study difficult. The min-
eral specimens brought back by
Laurence Gould, geologist and sec-
ond in command of the Byrd party,
have been studied microscopically
and chemically by Dr. Duncan Stew-
art of the University and compared
with rock analyses from other re-
gions.
The Gould rocks, collected largely
from the Rockefeller Mountains in
King Edward VII Land, are high in
alkalies, sod m a n d potassium,
Stewart found, and differ markedly
from the rocks of the Andes in South
America, which are high in calcium,
magnesium and iron.
This evidence supports the theory
that the land connected with South
America runs under (water out into
the Atlantic, curving like a great
hook, with the South Orkneys and
Shetlands and other islands showing
above the surface, becaus these is-
land rocks are microscopically like
those of the Andes. Although so
close by, the Antarctic rocks, by their
different composition, indicate an in-
dependent origin, other evidence of
ancient moltan rock outbursts point-
ing to a closer relation to Australia
and South Africa.
ministration put on a two-weeks'
cotton sign-up in 16 southern states.
Nine out of 10 of all the cotton farm-
ers in the country have participated
in the program to make the neces-
sary acreage cut. That is the kind
of action farmers can get if they put
their minds to it. Farmers can march
together, all right, if you show them
it is worth their while.
Attacking Wheat Speculation
Now we are tackling the problem
of wheat. We 'are going to cut down
on wheat sowings for next year. We
are going to examine into this thing
of wild, unregulated speculation in
wheat. We will not get emotional
about it, the way people generally do
when they discuss this subject. We
will try to get the thing settled not
by instinct but according to reason
and facts.
One fact is that the present grain
trade has no divine right to handle
the farmer's products. Abuses exist.
Some of the smarter men in the trade
are trying to correct them. If their
views do not prevail in the trade the
government may take hold and find
a way.
A Fair Price For Bread
We cannot allow either speculation
or profiteering to take. the bread out
of people's mouths. .What we are
after is a fair-exchange price, fair
to both the consumer and agriculturo
with the smallest possible tolls on
the farmer ruined agriculture, rid
dIed farm buying power and forced
us all to the bottom of the depression.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: In these articles,
the fourth of n daily series of reports
on aspects of the administration's re
covery program, the secretary of agri-
culture and the administrator of the
Agricultural Adjustment act tell of
their plans to reduce overproduction,
curb speculation and insure fair
prices.)
By HENRY A. WALLACE
Secretary of Agriculture
(Copyright, 1933, By The Associated Press)
President Roosevelt signed the ag-
iicultural adjustment act on May 12.
Two months later, on July 12, the
department of agriculture closed a
cotton acreage adjustment campaign.
As a result of that campaign, which
lasted two weeks, nearly nine-tenths
of our 2,000,000 American cotton
growers participated in this program
of the government, agreeing to de-
crease their cotton acreage to the
basis of prevailing demand.
In all, the growers contracted to
remove about 10,500.000 acres from
cotton growing. It is estimated that
this will bite into our ruinous cotton
surplus to the extent of about 3,500,-
000 bales. The campaign was a suc-
cess.
No one likes to derease production
but the need here was plain. The
1928 cotton crop brought $1,500,000,-
000 to American growers. In 1932 a
crop of about the same size brought
the growers only $500,000,000 gross.
In the south- business crept to a halt.
This helped to paralyze trade
throughout the nation.
Balancing Harvests
We had to do the cotton adjust-
ment job in a hurry, catch-as-catch-
can. We hope in the longer time
allowed for wheat acreage adjust-
ments to draw upon our first hasty
experience and to conduct a more
thoughtful and educational cam-
paign. It is impossible to overestimate
the values that can come, if we once
get farmers thinking in terms of har-
vests balanced to the new world situ-
ation.
Starting with the major crops, we
are trying to bring order and reason
to bear upon the insane jig-saw
puzzle of random over-production.
There are 6,500,000 farms in the
picture. Until lately no two parts
have fitted into any large design. The
Agricultural Adjustment act gives the
individual farmer a chance to fit his
I
sowings into a sound production
schedule for the country as a whole.
Ironing Out Competition
These schedules will be based on
domestic need, plus the surviving
world demand -not as we wish it
were but as it is. Adjustments will
be made democratically and co-oper-
atively, from the ground up.
In the same spirit the Agricultural
Adjustment act permits and encour-
ages an ironing-out of costly, and
needless competition among the
processors and middlemen of . food
products. We are out to cut down
the wastes and costs of blind compe-
tition on farms, and all along the
road to market. A like reordering of
general industry is made possible by
the National Recovery act.
This is an enormous task that we
have undertaken. Win or lose, the
answer will be written in the history
books. We can succeed if you will
help. As far as we have gone, we
have every indication that the Amer-
ican people are sick of uncertainty
and disorder, and are eager to join in
this historic effort to set things right.

A month ago the South was like
a man hoeirng cotton with a bale of
cotton on his back. We had a full
crop stored and a big new overplant-
ing of cotton coming along. We
either had to get about a quarter of
that land out of cotton or take an-
other awful price smash this fall. The
government decided to help the South
throw off its paralyzing load, of sur-
plus cotton and stand up and trade
again.

Courtis Speech
Ends Series Of

fessor Courtis, and only methods of
living which are safe are those which
contribute to growth.
The real problem was called the
deciding of whether imposition of
self-control from without of self-
control from within is the more effi-
cient. Progressives favor the latter,
he pointed out.
Another factor that needs consid-
eration is maturity, Professor Courtis
said. Those who are immature may
need control and alwiays need guid-
ance, so the question he felt to be
of most importance was, "When is it
right for one person to impose his
will on another?"
The answer is, in times of emer-
gency and for the individual's growth
in self-determination and control,
never for the benefit of the one ex-
ercising control, he explained.
Discipline, from the educational
point of view, is control of behaviour,
Professor Courtis said, and the pos-
sible means of control named in-
clude force, affection, wisdom, re-
wards, and reason. Force is justified
only in emergencies produced by in-
competence in skill or choice of val-
ues, he said. In such cases force
must be used.
Affection was described as a pow-
erful means, especially with the
young, but' its danger was said to lie
in the possible development of con-
tentment with immaturity.
Wisdom was called efficient, except
that blind acceptance of authority
kills initiative and makes for stagna-
tion. Rewards were also praised in
part but their danger lies in the like-
lihood of a development of greed and
selfish, narrow values, Professor
Courtis said.
Consequently, the only form of dis-
cipline which he feels is safe is the
more difficult and slower way of
profiting from experience. A teacher
must use means best suited to the
maturity of the child and the nature
of the situation, he concluded, em-
phasizing growth and spiritual val-
ues. Discipline is one of the master
problems of the day not only in
school but also in society, he stated.
The Twenty-first Amendment, in
the belief of William Morris Hough-t
ton, prominent New York newspaperc
man and writer, seems assured ofz
adoption.
While it is conceivable that a hand-
ful of states may cling to prohibi-
tion, he writes in the Aug. 12 issue1
of the Literary Digest, the great ma-
jority will experiment with other so-l
lutions to the liquor problem.
Once the Federal prohibition law
is repealed, according to Mr. Hough-
ton, the plans adopted by the 48
states to take its place will, in all
probability, be subjected to a process
of elimination which will permit only7
the fittest programs to survive.
"Intensive studies of these variousl
systems have been made by devoted
citizens all over the country," he
writes, "and in a number of instances
by legislative commissions, so that
the voting public is fairly familiar
with them and ready to adopt from,
one or the other its salient features."
The liquor interests, according to
Mr. Houghton, will be relatively pow-
erless to oppose the will of the peo-
ple. He cites the progress which has
been made in Canada, Sweden, Nor-
way, Finland, and England as an ex-
ample from which the people of the
United States may draw knowledge
and encouragement in their present
problem.
"There will of course," says Mr.
Houghton, "be no slavish emulation
of foreign examples. A different poli-
tical tradition will see to that. For
instance, any attempt by admirers
on this side of the border to persu-
ade their states to copy Quebec or
Ontario or another of the Canadian
provinces will very likely be met
with a stout objection to 'putting the
government in the liquor business.'
More likely, in the mind of Mr.
Houghton, is that the states will per-
mit the actual selling to be done by
supervised limited dividend corpora-
tions, which is included in the Swed-
ish system of control, known as the
Bratt System. This plan consists of
a private organization which posses-
ses the monopoly for the sale of
spirits, to the exclusion of all other
companies. Excess profits beyond a
stipulated margin of profit are turn-
ed over, to the government.
According to Mr. Houghton, there
is little likelihood that the people
of this country will countenance the
"meticulous policing" which is an es-
sential part of the Bratt System. Un-
der this plan, every citizen who indi-
cates the desire to possess a pass
book for the purchase of liquor must
submit to an examination of his fi-
nancial and domestic situation, and
the amount of alcoholic beverages
which he may buy depends upon the
outcome of this investigation.
In Mr. Houghton's article he even
points out a sincere champion of a1
sort of saloon substitute.
"Mrs. Sheppard," he writes, "is one
of those philosophers who find it dif-
ficult to believe that a social insti-
tution like the old saloon could have
persisted unless it served some legi-
timate demand.
"The feature of her program which
excited the most interest was its pro-
vision for refreshment rooms' in
which liquors might be served with-
out profit in company with food, and
soft drinks."
M r s. Sheppard's "refresh9ient
rooms" she described as meeting
places for recreation and refresh-
ment which "will always be needed
in every community to satisfy man's

Mr. HIoughton has little confidenec
that Mrs. Sheppard's plan will be
adopted in entirety in any state, 'ut
believes that the work that was dow
in preparing it best illustrates ihe
lengths to which Americans of rep-
resentative mentality will go to fini
solutions to the undesirably situation:
in which the country was left by pr'o-
hibition.
"Unreconciled prohibitionists, of
course, expect that all efforts auct as,
Mrs. Sheppard's will collapse;" hi
writes, "they look for a swing of th
pendulum back to 'wide open' man-
facture and sale."
But the probability that such an
event would preface a return to pi-
hibition Mr. Houghton considers ,x
ceedingly remote."
"Where, one may ask, will the di s
forces discover another Moses to

"from the date of whose tragic de th
began the disintegration that has
overwhelmed them? Without his
equal as a political strategist th-r
cause seems hopelessly handicapper
even with it there is no longer the '
prospect of a clear field for his geni.
