The Passing Show of War and Greed Portraits
A reflective verse piece laments moral decline amid war and wealth. It contrasts hypocrisy with virtue, condemns greed, and questions honor, chivalry, and the ruling influence of money in a harsh world. The poem traces humanity's long history of conflict and deception.
The Harmful Effects of Tariffs On World Wheat Trade
The piece notes a 66 percent drop in world trade and a fall in Canada’s wheat exports from 407 million to 166 million bushels between 1929 and 1934. Surpluses rose from 91 to 203 million bushels, prices fell from 1.24 to 0.81 dollars per bushel, and tariffs are blamed for reduced farmers’ income and buying power. It urges sharply reducing Canadian tariffs. It also sweeps through world food notes: Italy’s import need about 92 million bushels, Uruguay yield down, Chile harvest smaller, South Africa rains, European Russia winter wheat area up, and Argentina using less corn for fuel as coal and petroleum imports rise.
