Who Owns the Falkland Islands?

Few people are aware to this day
that the Falkland islands are marked
in all Argentine maps and biographies
as ''unlawfully retained by Great Brit
ain" TIE origin Of the dispute was
that England after abandoning the
islands in 1TT4 resumed possession in
1929. The Argentine government pro.
tested and, as A. Stuart Pennington
points out in his book on the country
is even today careful TO do nothing
which could even apparently recognize
the rights Of the present possessors.
1t was for that reason that It declined
a proposal a few years ago TO run q
line of Argentine ships to the islands.

Against this misconception and
provision of our constitution the or
ganlzation of the Progressive party is
the protest of the American people.
Rather than have the present prac-
tice continued believe the people
would make the Legislature the sole
arbiter of its own functions under the
constitution. exactly as is done in Eng
land and in Canada.
This, however, shall regret. l
would much rather not go to this
length. But this much is certain. If
any event of the future can be con-
sidered certain II the reactionaries
by their foolish violence in objecting
to sensible, moderate proposals intend
ed not to abolish but to regulate the
exercise of the extraordinary judicial
power succeed in delaying every
measure of relief, they will finally
force the American people to such ac-
tion, because there is no other alter
tive.-Ex-Senator Beveridge

stage and led the blind man out
through rear exit.
Harry w. Lynch, son Of the pro-
prietor of the theater, first saw the
flames running along the lower part
of the balcony, where. electric wires
had become crossed. Stepping to the
side of Boyle, who was singing an
illustrated song with all lights turned
down, Lynch quietly announced that
small blaze had been discovered.
He requested the audience to file out
promptly, but without confusion.
There was a quick shuffling of feet,
and several persons had broken into
a run when Boyle signaled to Rogers
at the piano to start something" :"
Rogers struck at once into a popular
air. and as Boyle's voice rang out dis
tinctly without culver, all signs Of
a panic vanished. In the dark the
singer and the pianist kept on with
the song.
Boyle's brother, Thomas. who at
tends the blind man, was across the
street being shaved when he saw
smoke pouring from the theater Col
larless, with half of his face shaved
and half lathered. he bolted for the
theater and fought his way through
the crowd that jammed the stairs to
save his brother. He reached the
door just in time to see Rogers rush
the blind man through rear door.
On February 10. while playing the
piano at another theater Rogers was
caught in a fire, but stuck to his post
until all the audience filed out. In
tonight's fire the theater was destroy
ed and adjoining property in the bust
ness district was seriously threatened.

DISAGREE ON PORK
Democratic Party at Odds Over
Appropriations.
Economy Evidently Not Favored
Where Home interests Are In
yoived--Ante-Electlon Pledges
Very Much "up in the
Air."

An analysis OF the appropriation
bills introduced in the house near
the close of the present session Of
congress indicates that Democratic
economy ideas have some mighty
queer kinks in them. It has been dis
covered, for instance, that the bill per-
tanning to the District Of Columbia
contains no provision for the continu-
ance Of sewerage work or for paving
extensions. The appropriation for
the District schools has been cut in
a way which, it is claimed by compe-
ten. judges, would work confusion in
the school system from top to bottom.
Then here is the Philadelphia Rec
ord, loyal Democratic newspaper,
sending up a vehement protest CON
cerning the pork barrel method of dis
tribution that has been used in the
appoTtionment Of the public buildings
bill. The Record points out that towns
spotted all over Pennsylvania, some Of
them having population of less than
1000, have been allowed appropria-
tions for postofice buildings ranging
from 100000 to 100000, while Phil
adelphia's modest request for $1,000
geo as starter for the much needed
custom house was turned down en-
tirely. e
Figuring on the basis of the $780,
900 allowance to Media for a postottiee,
the Record estimates on strictly per
capita calculation that Philadelphia
should have been allowed s26, ,0S5,29
for the custom house. The Record
feels particularly sore oyer the $780,
900 postotfiee for Media--a town Of O.
562 persons. The village postofice is
certainly looking up in these days,

Geographical lines OF division with re-

this growth within the party itself is,
of course, unavoidable and obvious.
1t necessarily means that Democratic
leaders cannot afford, politically speak
ing, to go to great lengths in the re-
