We have been thinking about the men whom the world calls
great, and wondering how many of them will be so regarded naif
a century from now. In these days of wide-spread and instant pub-
licity, any man who does something spectacular and gets his pic-
ture into the newspapers is acclaimed by the unthinking as a great
man. He may have done nothing more important than to go up
in a sky-rocket or sit on a flagpole, but a foolish world does not
discriminate between notoriety and greatness.
We would hardly try to list the men of real greatness no.v
alive, but we think there is a critical test which, if applied, would
eliminate many who regard themselves as freat men. We do not
find many enshrined in history as great men who were not equip-
ped with certain qualities of character, that had nothing to do with
the positions in which chance of fate placed them.

The very few men of great affairs who have been disclosed
in these recent times as men of no character are the glaring ex-
ceptions. If all leaders of business and industry were crooks,
there could be no surprise at the disclosures of the offenses of
a Kreuger or an Insull. Men like those, when their true character
is disclosed, get into headlines because they are different from the
general run. Nothing can be more destructive to individual
character than to fall into the belief that it is useless to strive,
since high place can be won only by trickery. We feel that the
failure of the Senate investigation to disclose a single act of dis-
honor on the part of the House of Morgan should go a long way
toward offsetting the shock of the disclosures of less honorable
conduct on the part of bankers like Mitchell and Harriman.

PRICE PARITY FOR FARMERS
"Parity," or fair exchange value of farm prices, is a situation
in which the prices of farm products will enable the farmer to
buy on the average the same amount of goods and services with
the same amount of farm products that he could buy in the pre-
war period. The base period which is fixed by the Farm Act is
in general the pre-war period August, 1909, to July, 1914 for
tobacco, August, 1919, to July, 1929.
Since that 1909-1914 period, farm prices were above "parity"
for only two years during the World War. In the depression of
1920 farm prices dropped so much lower and quicker than prices
of other products that a 25 per cent disparity resulted. It has
continued ever since, and in intensified form in the past three
years.
In order that farm products be on a parity with goods that
farmers buy, prices of farm products must be doubled even if
the prices of other products do riot rise. As prices of non-agricul
tural goods rise, farm prices must rise even more to come to a
parity level. It is not the plan of the Administrators of the act to
accomplish complete parity at once.
A parity price is not necessarily a stable price at any par-
ticular level but merely bears a certain definite relation to other
prices. Parity between farm products and things farmers buy
can be maintained either on a high or low price level but farm
prices trend to decline to lower points and more quickly than other
prices inperiods of depression.
Although farm prices were aboVe the pre-war level during
the period 1920 to 1930 a constant disparity continued. This dis-
parity was smallest in 1925, due to small crops. Then the ratio
of prices-received to prices-paid by farmers was 92. A decline
in farm prices then followed, making this ratio as low as 48 in Feb-
ruary, 1938, the lowest point on record.
The long continued disparity since 1920 has prevented farm-
ers making repairs and replacements to such an extent that the
condition of their buildings and machinery has seriously declined.
Prices must continue for some time at a parity level at least in
order to make up for the looses of the post-war years and to restore
agriculture to the same condition relatively that it held during
the 5 years 1910 to 1914.
