Is Misleading, Flynn Says.

BY JOHN T. FLYNN—ed

EW YORK, Oct. 3.—For a long time we have heard much of the recovery in Europe as contrasted with the recovery in America.

"This was a favorite theme with Mr.

Hoover, He has contended that . world recovery began in the sum“mer of 1932, that it continued in . other countries and was interrupt"ed only here. That, he has argued,

= was due to the policies of the Ad-

ministration. The whole matter turns, upon the question of whether or not there

* has been recovery in Europe. Par-

= ticularly is this - true of Great

. Britain, which is held out as the shining example of recovery . through natural causes. If you look at unemployment . figures you would assume that other countries have gone farther

In Germany there were 5,575,000 unemployed in 1932. Now the - number is estimated at 1,413,000. - In England unemployment was 2.272,000 in 1932. Now it is put at 1,401,000. ~ In France, however, unemployment never was as great as in

a million., But now it is really “greater than it has been in the last five years. . 8 8 W% UR unemployment was about 15,000,000... Now it is about 1€,000,000. Thus we seem not to: have done so well. But unemployment figures in Germany and Italy ~ mean very little. Are the men in

© Germany's draft armies set down

ER unemployed? Are young men

- serving their terms in the newly created military services called un-

~ employed? It is by this means, for

one thing, that Germany has made & great reduction in her unemployment. The same thing is true of Italy, though figures of her uncmployment now are carefully concealed. In England, of coursce, there has been greater improvement in unemployment than here. But first

of all, it never was as bad to begin

© with.

Secondly, the improvement

- ‘has been due in part to government

But just what the improvement mean? Wages have not increased in England, while here they have increased greatly. Production has not increased nearly so much in England as here. Here the increase has been 70 per cent since 1932; in England the increase has been 37 per cent. But what is more serious ig the condition of thosa at

~ work. Everywhere the force which

presses on European workmen Js the small amount of their total earnings. ”. ” 2 N Qermany wages are about 5 per cent less than in 1932, while living costs are about 7 per cent higher. But this refers to wage

; ‘ rates. Actual wages received may

be but little better. What is overlooked, however, is that comparisons of recovery in Europe and America must always .consider what the word . recovery means. Recovery for us means getting back to something like the standards we had come to demand in the ’twenties, In Europe the

. Istandards then were pretty low.

Europe never had in those years the degree of prosperity which we

© experienced. In fact many coun-

«tries still. were squeezing along on

low wages, low earnings, low prifits. To have lost even that and then to “have recovered only a fraction of it hardly is to be called recovery. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

CHICAGO WHEAT

FOLLOWS HIGHER FOREIGN TREND

Small Gain Held at Close; Corn Trading Is Listless.

By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—~Wheat traders took their cue from Liverpool and Winnipeg today, and prices ranged higher on the Chicago Board of Trade. : At the close, wheat was up 1; to 7 cent, December $1.147%; corn was up J cent, December 94%

cent, December 42% cents. Early buying of wheat was based almost entirely on the strength in Liverpool. After the opening flurry of buying orders, trading interest was at a low ebb, and activity was very light. An advance in Winnipeg aided the market in maintaining its buoyant tone. July led the carly advance but fell back slightly as the session progressed. Orders to buy placed through commission houses supported the corn market, but advances were of little importance and the market was listless. Locals generally were on the selling side early. Near the

close some of the early sellers move to cover.

RIVER FREIGHT ‘RECORD BROKEN

August Pittsburgh Tonnage Exceeds Panama, Suez Average.

By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3. — More

tonnage was transported on Pittslast month than on the Suez and Panama Canals combined in any average month. This disclosure was made in Army engineers’ figures showing that all monthly tonnage records on the

Rivers have beerr smashed. “So keen is the demand for wa-;

the only factor preventing even greater tonnage is the utter lack of sufficient tows and barges,” one responsible official observed. “Existing facilities just can’t handle the traffic!” Local river craft in August carried the unprecedented total of four and a half million tons of assorted bulk, including coal, coke, gravel, limestone, petroleim products, sand, steel and other commodities. The Suez and Panama Canals, greatest of the world’s artificial watgrways, fall a few thousand tons short of that mark in a combined monthly average computed over a long span of years.

[FLETCHER BANK -

CALLS $200,000 BOND PAYMENT

Cash Settlement Scheduled for Nov. 1 by Local Institution.

Call for payment of $200,000 Fletcher Joint Stock Land Bank 4% per cent bonds dated Nov. 1, 1917, and due Nov. 1, 1937, has been voted by the bank’s executive committee, President William B. Schiltges announced today. Payment in cash for the called bonds is to be made as of Nov. 1, 1936, Mr. Schiliges said, and there are to be no arrangements available under which the securities will be exchangable into other bonds. This new call by the Fletcher Joint Stock Land Bank brings the total of bonds payable Nov. 1 to $2,613,600, according to Mr. Schiltges. Previous announcements by the joint stock bank called for cash payment or exchange as of Nov. 1, six issues on whic hthe exchange privilege, now has expired. Besides the $200,000 of Nov. 1, 1917, bonds, payments Nov. 1 are to include called bonds from the following entire issues: , May 1, 1954-34; Nov. 1, 195434; May 1, 1955-35; Nov. 1, 1955-35;

May 1, 1956-36, and Nov. 1, 1956-36.

Eighteen months ago, Fletcher Joint Stock Land Bank officials began a program of interest rate re-

ane duction through calling of outstand-

ing series of bonds bearing 51%, 5 and 4% per cent interest and issuing in like amounts bonds bearing lower rates of interest.

Many Bonds Exchanged

Many owners of old bonds bearing higher rates accepted the bank’s offer and took new lower rate bonds during the $10,000,000 refunding program, according to H. Foster Clippinger, Fletcher Trust Co. vice president in charge of the bond department. All of the new series of bonds issued and exchanged by the joint stock bank have borne interest at rates of 3 to 4 per cent, the greater part of the new paper calling for a rate of .3% per cent, with the due dates running from 1940 to 1945, Mr. Clippinger said. The Fletcher Joint Stock Land Bank, like all other joint stock land banks, is in process of liquidation under the requirement of Federal law passed in 1933, it was said. The organization holds Charter No. 3 under the Farm Mortgage Act, and during the time of its greatest ac-

business in central Indiana and eastern Illinois, loaning on selected farm property only. During the peak of its farm mortgage operations, the bank had $14,769,200 in bonds outstanding and a total of mortgage loans of $15,736,688. Bank officials said today that improving prices for farm products are reflected in improvement in collections of mortgage interest, delinquencies now being at the lowest point in several years.

ORP. GENERAL DIST INCORPORATED INVESTORS Sales of general merchandise throughout the rural sections of this country were the highest in August for any August since 1929, and passed a year ago by 20 per " eent. The larger farm | income naturally helped rur es. It now is estimated that cash farm income for this whole year will be 10 per cent greater than in 1935. This means that 1936 should be the best year since 1929 for farmers. Rural sales have gained proportionately more than department store sales. ;

l, C. G. FREIGHT RATE APPROVAL T0 BE SOUGHT

Railroads Ask Readjusted Schedules to Replace Surcharge.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—The nae tion’s railroads today prepared to ask Interstate Commerce Commission approval of a nationwide readJustment of freight rates designed to preserve for the carriers revenues now collected under emergency sur= charge rates which expire Dec, 31. Representatives of major raile

pers and coal producers, announced that the readjustment plan virtually was complete apd represented “the most important single step ever taken toward simplification and uniformity” in freight rate siructures. J. J. Pelley, president of the Ase sociation of American Railroads, said the existing surcharges rep» resent about one fifth of tota! net railway operating income. It was estimated the amount collacted under the surcharge approximated $100,000,000 yearly. The carriers, he said, will ask the ICC to make the readjusted rates, which call for increases in some categories and decreases in others, effective Jan. 1, 1937, “to avoid "losses of much-needed revenue.” The proposed readjustments, Mrs, Pelley said, do not contemplate retaining all of the increases o! the emergency surcharges. “They represent,” he said, “211 ate tempt on the part of the railroads to work out such adjustments, through increases and reductio:s, as partially will offset the decrezse in

place when the present charges ex= pire at the end of this year.”
