C0-OPERATIVES'

EW YORK, Sept. 15. — There are two phenomena to keep an eve on in Europe now. One, of course, has to do with the cleavage, not between nations, but between classes—the persistent sharpening of the lines between Fascist and Communist groups in all countries. The other has to do with the finances of individual nations. Out of these two festering sores will grow whatever conflict arises-in Europe. It i= for this reason the news from France isso important. Here I will speak only of the financial sit tion. We Rave A informed that France will spend anot her billion dollars on armaments. . Instantly one asks—where the billion to come from? France has faced deficit after deficit for several years. This vear, the Minister of Finance announces the deficit will be about seven billion francs—about 480 million dollars. But this does not include the extraordinary budget. France, like ourselves, keeps a separate account of: extraordinary expenditures due to depression or war outlays, How much that will be I can not say. But it is great.

N top of this, now she propose to pile aothes billion dollars for war preparations and some one must pay the bill. The government apparently does not intend to tax. Instead, it talks of lightening the load of taxation to make up for certain concessions to labor.

With a growing deficit the government. speaks of easing taxation, which is a desperate suggestion. Hence it proposes to get money by . borrowing—and borrowing from whom? One ominous proposal is discussed. The French have been doing what the American government has been doing—borrowing from the banks—at the Bank of France, to be specific. The Bank of France has discounted about 14 billion ~francs of short term notes. But the bank must lend more. And now the bank is controlled by the government. These short term bills keep on maturing. And as they mature, they are going to be replaced, we are informed, by noninterest bearing bills—a form of currency. Then the government will borrow qn additional 10 billion dollars of interest bearing

Sbligat ions.

RANCE holds fast to her gold > standard, but here are all the elements of credit inflation by a government which is torn by internal difficulties and surrounded by enemies on every side. To this amazing race in armaments in Europe, of course, there Rist be end. The end must come Sher in war or in internal finanTial collapse and inflation. . France, Tike all the governments in Europe, can build armaments and invent money to pay for them through bank credit as long as all the purchases are made in France. But any armament program means also buying abroad. And to a country, like France, suffering from a persistent import surplus, buying abroad means further losses: of gold and quicker exhaustion of credit. Surely Europe rides swiftly to her doom!

Educational Group Helps

in its swad { clothes in this country, ung] operative movement, naturally has had to pay the price of inexperience. Racketeering, which embarrassed proponents several years ago, has been pretty well stamped out. Of great assistance in this connection were the educational groups launched in an effort to smooth the way for the tyros in the field. First and foremost in the cooperative parade in this country are those associations which purchase the supplies for the farming population. In second place are those units having to do with petroleum products, in third place the insurance companies and in fourth position groceries and general. merchandise. Grouped behind these leaders are operations pertaining to retail milk distribution, restaurants,

leges. Similar to Labor Unions

One other field in which the coops are making good progress is the rural electrification field. Although the New Deal's Rural Electrification Authority is attempting to bring the benefits of power to the farm territory, bands of eitizens in certain areas are taking up the cudgel for themselves and forming their own utility companies. Organiztion of consumers through co-ops represent a distinctly different proposition than organization of producers and marketing co-operatives, of which the more popular are Dairymen’s League of | New" York, the California Fruit | Growers Exchange, Farmers Na-| tional Grain Corp. and the Land; O'Lakes Creamery.

HARDWARE AGE REPORTS GAINS

Merchants Anticipate Higher Prices as Orders Increase.

Times Special NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Advancement in building along with more favorable weather and heavier rains has enabled the hardware industry to reflect greater fall buying at higher prices, Hardware Age reported today. Consumers’ purchasing power has expanded considerably and forced merchants, the country over, to release more orders than in the past, the magazine states. ~The largest hardware merchandise companies are preparing for a period of moderately higher prices and of scarcity of supply. Comprehending this likely occurrence, merchants are building up stocks and devoting less. time to shopping for concessions, the report stated. Demand for luxury goods, including sporting goods and luggage, has increased immensely during recent months. Increased activity in building has bettered prospects in the hardware line, as roofing, paints, tools and builders’ hardware are selling more freely and with the better qualities predominating, the report said. Plumbing accessories and kitchen equipment also are showing steady improvement.
